* ''[['Allo 'Allo!]]'': -- In an unusual subversion of the showsshow's trope of using [[Just a Stupid Accent]] as a [[Translation Convention]] for whatever language is actually being spoken, Rene at one point cries out his first real French: "''J'accuse!''" "''J'accuse!''". [[Double Subversion]]: "Who's this 'Jack Hughes'?"
** Rene doesn't actually say this, Lt. Gruber is relating a dream he had of Rene saying it.<ref>Okay, it is like this. Gruber thinks he has killed Rene with a firing squad and the Rene currently in the show is Rene posing as his own twin brother also called Rene</ref> At the end of the episode Rene gets stuck on a [[Rube Goldberg Device|giant aerial]] rising out of a grave (they'd hidden a transmitter Rene's crypt since it was empty) and Gruber sees this figure of Rene rising out of the grave (looking sheepish) and faints. Helga then says "Well at least he didn't mention this "Jack Hughes". Roll credits. ''[['Allo 'Allo!]]'' doesn't do simple and straightforward.
* On ''[[30 Rock]]'', Liz Lemon utters this phrase when some of Frank's cigarettes go missing, implying that he hasn't quit smoking. Turns out she ate them in her sleep.
