{{quote|'''Bertie:''' Jeeves, you're talking rot.

'''Bertie:''' Very good, sir--I mean very good Jeeves, that will be all. }}

 

** In an earlier episode, the main characters meet Elaine's macho, controlling father. George has the "Keeper of the Tavern" song from ''Les Miserables'' in his head, and periodically starts singing it. At the end of the episode, Elaine's father starts singing it to himself.

* In an episode of [[The Big Bang Theory]], Sheldon finds new friends when he wants to be the center of the group. Barry Kripke is one of them.

* In earlier episodes of ''[[The Nanny]]'', Fran would regularly [[Yiddish as a Second Language|pepper her speech with Yiddish]], while the rest of the cast didn't know a word of Yiddish and would have to ask for an explanation. Several seasons later, the entire Sheffield family had caught the habit.

* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Shadow Dragon'', Athena's recruitment conversation goes something like [[Hilarity Ensues|this]]:

{{quote|'''Athena:''' Vell, vell... You must be the help.

I, uh, I am Marth, prince of Altea. }}

I heard pirates took the village children, so I brought my army straightaway.

{{quote|'''Athena:''' ...If you say so. Ve are called Athena.

Ve have a fair bit of skill vith a sword; hopefully the same can be said of you, Marth of Altea. }}

* In the feature length animated film of [[Wonder Woman]], she and the Amazons find fighter pilot, Steve Trevor, wandering around the island after his plane is shot down and interrogate him with the lasso of truth. He's forced to reveal many embarrassing truths including the meaning behind the expletive "crap" which disgusts the warrior women. After a prolonged period of unintentional bonding while stopping the god of war, Ares, Wonder Woman utters the word herself when she's about to be smushed by the empowered god. Wonder Woman: "[[Oh Crap]]..."

* During the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Party of One" Rainbow Dash tries picking a fight with Rocky.
