* A rather non-comedic use of this trope (or perhaps a [[Black Comedy]] use) shows up in ''[[Ranma ½]]''. [[Sink or Swim Mentor|Genma Saotome]] doesn't read the next page of the training manual detailing the [[Harmful to Minors|Neko-ken]], which says that the technique is [[Useless Useful Spell|impressive sounding, but non-functional]], until after he's already trained his six-year-old son Ranma in it. Oh, and it isn't just useless, it causes [[Harmful to Minors|permanent mental damage]] to the trainee, afflicting them with a permanent and deeply rooted [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|phobia of cats]].
