Line 6: This is always the case when someone is [[Bested At Bowling]]. See Also: [[Crack Defeat]], [[Dark Horse Victory]] {{examples}} Line 14: == [[Live Action TV]] == * ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'': Zack receives a 1500 SAT score and is accepted by Stansbury (an obvious [[Shout-Out]] to Stanford) ahead of straight A student Jesse, who had 1205 on hers (the exact opposite, of course, of criteria that many colleges and universities use for judging "overachievers" and "underachievers"). * ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'': Will and his [[Old Friend\|never-seen-before-or-since comedian friend]] go to an interview for a comedy club. Will gets the gig by accident (then bombs leading to [[An Aesop]]). * ''[[8 Simple Rules]]'': Bridget and Kerry try out for cheerleading. Bridget is the clear favorite, but Kerry gets the spot. * In an episode of ''Ready or Not'', Busy got the opportunity to audition for something Amanda wanted after a talent scout found her little bit of silliness during a set mishap more entertaining than the actual play Amanda was in. == [[Western Animation]] == * In ''[[~~Sixteen~~6teen]]'', when Caitlin wanted to apply for a job at [[Bland-Name Product\|Albatross & Finch]], Jonesy comes along for moral support. She gets passed over in favour of [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?\|Jonesy]] for his blase attitude. * ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'' did something similar, with Stinky sitting out an audition for a soda commercial and cheering Arnold on, but the powers that be end up rejecting ''every single auditioner'' and pick Stinky. Of course, [[Celebrity Is Overrated\|there's a reason behind that]]. (And they would do it again with Helga, the only kid in class who doesn't want to try out for modeling, ending up getting picked by a model scout over those who actually wanted to get the job.) ** Also in "Cool Party": Arnold is on classmate Rhonda's "Cool List" (and has thus received an invitation to her party), yet his best friend Gerald, "the definition of cool", is on her "Geek List". (Rhonda's explanation: he ran for class president against ''her''.) Line 28: == [[Real Life]] == * Christine "Moose" McGlade went to a Canadian TV audition only to support a friend only to become one of the stars of ''[[You Can't Do That on Television]]''. * Gene ~~Simmons--a~~Simmons—a.k.a. "The Demon"~~--from~~—from KISS tells the story of the band's rise to stardom and the famous fire-breathing bit. He notes that when asked who wanted to learn how to do it, he got picked because he was the only one who didn't jump at the opportunity. ** ''[[American Idol]]'' winner David Cook went along with his brother to cheer for him as he auditioned. Obviously, it didn't go so well for his brother. * Would you believe that this was how [[Johnny Depp]]'s career launched? He was driving his buddy [[Jackie Earle Haley]] to an audition when [[Wes Craven]] saw him and asked him to do Nightmare. [[Edward Scissorhands\|The]] [[Pirates of the Caribbean\|rest]] [[Corpse Bride\|is]] [[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory\|history.]] Line 37: {{reflist}} [[Category:Narrative Devices]] [[Category:~~Ironic Inversion~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
