* ''[[The King's Speech]]'' had this moment where Bertie is encouraged to talk about his childhood, and he tries to...but because of his stammer, he has to make himself sing parts of it. Hearing him suddenly sing something instead of speaking would almost be funny {{spoiler|if he wasn't talking about how he was abused by a nanny, who would deprive him of food and hit him so he'd cry in front of his parents, and that his parents didn't notice what was going on for years}}.
