** Palin also wrote about an ill-advised ad-lib in the sketch where he plays a man who goes up to a policeman played by Cleese to say his wallet's been stolen. The policeman apologetically tells him there's not much he can do, and after an uncomfortable pause the man asks, "Do you want to come back to my place?" and the policeman is supposed to say, "Yeah, all right." One night Cleese just said "no!" instead, which left them with nothing to do except slink offstage in a way that was no longer a punchline.
** One clip from ''[[The Young Ones]]'' appears to be setting up a rendition of the Pythons' "Cheese Shop" sketch. When asked if it's a cheese shop, however, the proprietor says "No", so the customer quips that they can't do the sketch after all.
* ''[[Being Human Remake(USA)]]'' plays around with this. Some of the plots taken from the original play out the same way as they did in the British version while others use this trope.
** In the season one finale the final confrontation with Bishop {{spoiler|averts the big twist from the British season one as Aiden figures out what Jeff is trying to do and does not let him fight in his place. }}
* One episode of ''[[Midsomer Murders]]'' was pretty much a direct retelling of Hamlet... {{spoiler|Except this time the Claudius-Expy gets wise to the Hamlet-Expy's plan and kills him.}}
