{{quote|''Ugly Dog Theory: In a comedy, whenever someone is being pummeled with insults, it's always the last and most seemingly innocent insult that evokes a heated response. Example: "You're ugly, your mother is ugly, your brother is ugly and your dog is ugly!" Response: "You can't talk that way about my dog!"''|'''[[Roger Ebert]]'''}}

* A variation from ''[[Space Pirate Mito]]''. The Galactic Patrol is looking for the main character, Aoi Mitsukuni, and to flush him out, they announce his "crimes" to the general populace, hoping they'll hand him over. In order, this includes being the son of a wanted [[Space Pirate]], seducing woman, being a ten-foot monster (and apparently a [[Griping About Gremlins|gremlin]]), and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|disrespecting his parents]], since he injured his mother and ran away. Hearing the announcement, his classmates ask if it's true, and Aoi replies, "It's true," but stops short, leading his friends to have [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]] based on the more outlandish claims. (He really meant the last one, though the first is also true).

* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Robin tells Marshall that he has to learn that NYC is not all [[Sesame Street]] like his crime-free, podunk, backwater, inbred hick town in Minnesota, and Marshall insists that they are ''not'' crime free.
