Line 161:
** In the [[Hand of Thrawn]] Duology, set a decade later, a trio of Imperials conspire very successfully to make it look like Thrawn is [[Back From the Dead]]. When Han Solo finally sees the (fake) Grand Admiral and has his suspicions deftly countered, it's a shock. Thrawn was, after all, alarmingly good at anticipating what people would do.
{{quote|'''Han:''' From now on, we can't trust anything we see. Anything we see, anything we hear, anything we think we ought to do. Not with Thrawn back on the scene.
'''Lando:''' Thrawn or no Thrawn, the Empire ''is'' still [[Vestigial Empire|down to eight sectors]]. Maybe this is really all he's going for, hoping to confuse Coruscant so badly it just freezes up.
'''Han:''' Who knows? That's what drives you so crazy about him. You try to do something and odds are it's exactly what he wanted you to do. You stand still and don't do anything, and he runs a smartrope around you. }}
* Zhuge Liang's [[wikipedia:Empty City Ruse|Empty City Ruse]] (from the fictionalized parts of ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]'') relies on this.
Line 249:
Need I say I care
Need I say that emotion's
[[Mood Whiplash|Something we don't share]]
I don't want to be sitting here
Trying to deceive you
'Cause you know I know, baby
That I don't wanna go'' }}
Line 260:
We've known it from the start
Every time that I look at you
[[Tear Jerker|But I can't see the future]]
'Cause [[Department of Redundancy Department|you know I know, baby]]
That I don't wanna go'' }}
* "Come to the Sunshine", a '60s sunshine-pop ditty written by cult favorite (and future [[The Beach Boys|Beach Boys]] ''Smile'' collaborator) Van Dyke Parks and recorded by Harpers Bizarre, has in its chorus the line ''You know, I know, you know, that I love you''.

* John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, Ep. 3, gives us this brilliant example. Warning: Any and all attempts at comprehension may result in brain damage.
** Bob: Okay. I want you to listen very carefully and tell me if I've got this right. You're angry about what you think I said about what you said about what you thought I said (but we now both agree I didn't say) about what you thought I thought you thought about what I did when you did what you did when I didn't do what you thought I said I would do but what I thought I said I would try to do, is that right?

Line 383:
'''Skipper:''' I million zillion switched.
'''Julien:''' And I switched them to infinity! So you have to shut up a little bit.
'''Skipper:''' Ah, but what you didn?t see coming is that [pulls off costume] [[Mind Screw|I am actually you!]]
'''Julien:''' Okay, nicely played. But if you are me, then by processing of elimination, [also pulls off costume] I must be you!
'''Skipper:''' Maybe, maybe. But if you are me, and I am you, then we must ''both'' be? }}
* An episode of ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' had Jack and [[Big Bad|Aku]] agreeing to a final duel with no swords or special powers. Naturally, [[I Lied|Aku cheats]], which Jack prepared for by bringing his sword and hiding it. But Aku knew Jack would know that he cheated, and had a minion find the sword. But Jack knew that Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku would cheat, so he planted a decoy sword. But Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku would cheat, so he had his minions look for more swords. But [[Overly Long Gag|Jack knew that Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku knew that Jack knew that Aku would cheat]], so he had his sword {{spoiler|buried underground}}.
