I Have This Friend: Difference between revisions

Line 117:

* ''[[The Cosby Show]]'' used this with Denise asking Cliff if he could examine "a friend" for a possible STD (it provides one of the above page quotes). Turns out there really was a friend (who only had a minor urinary tract infection)

* In ''[[CSI New York|CSI:NY]]'' Lindsay is concerned about the impact of the lab chemicals on her unborn baby. So she does this with Stella, the lab's unpaid safety officer (one of her tasks). It's a rather silly scene as the entire audience can tell she's pregnant just by looking at her.

* Apparently Fez from ''[[That 70s Show]]'' has a friend named... Johnny Table.

Line 197:

{{quote|'''You''': But, y'know, I think my friend was talking about how he wanted his weapon bigger the other day. Maybe I'll pick up some for him.

'''Pharmacist''': Certainly, amigo. I hope you -- I mean, your friend will enjoy them.

** This still happens when you're female, But, then, someone of any gender can wield a weapon, right?

* Stocke from ''[[Radiant Historia]]'' runs into someone asking for advice in this manner. {{spoiler|It's Raynie, asking about love issues. Specifically, her love for him.}} He instantly finds out what's going on, though the details caught him off guard.

Line 209:

* Used in ''[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff200/fv00153.htm this] [[Freefall]]''.

* ''[[Queen of Wands]]'' subverted this when [http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20031231.html Kestrel asked her friend Shannon for advice]. The [[DVD Commentary|commentary track]] points out that [http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20051008.html this happens a fair bit].

** A similar scenario played out on [[That 70s Show]] when Kelso saw Hyde cheat on Jackie, and went to Donna for advice.

* [[Harry Potter|Draco Malfoy]] doesn't even get to say what his hypothetical brother's question was before Lucius says he'd kill him in a [http://ktshy.deviantart.com/art/Simply-Potterific-16-29185449 Simply Potterific strip]. What Lucius ''thought'' Draco was going to say is unclear, though [http://ktshy.deviantart.com/art/Simply-Potterific-20-32407999 this strip] gives an idea.

So the question Draco was going to ask would be 'what if his hypothetical brother fell for a muggleborn girl'. That said, the [http://ktshy.deviantart.com/art/Simply-Potterific-20-32407999 follow up comic] already mentioned could be taken to read either way (of Lucius suspecting Draco of being gay or of being a muggle lover).
