Line 35:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Several gags in ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'' rely on this. Typically, someone tells Larry David how rotten they think George Costanza is or how a plot of Seinfeld was unbelievable because nobody would act that stupidly. They don't realize that George was based on Larry and that many "unbelievable" Seinfeld plots were based on things Larry actually did.
* Played with in ''[[Friends]]'': Rachel & Monica discover a message on Ross's answering machine from Emily, Ross's ex-wife. Emily is having second thoughts about her upcoming marriage to someone else. They debate whether or not to erase the message - Monica wants to, Rachel doesn't.
{{quote|'''Monica:''' All right, look. She's obviously unstable, okay? I mean, she's thinking about running out on her wedding day.... {{spoiler|(In the first episode, Rachel ran out on her wedding)}} Okay, fine, but... I mean, look at the position she's putting him in. I mean, what's he going to do? He's like... Ross is going to run over there on the wedding day and break up the marriage? Who would do that? {{spoiler|(Rachel did this when Ross & Emily were getting married)}}.... Okay, fine. All right? But that's... you know, that was different. Although it did involve a lot of the same people.}}
Line 43:
'''Max:''' Well, let me see now. I went in on a Friday... }}
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Xander mocks Spike by saying that only a nutcase or a complete loser would sleep with him...in the presence of Buffy who's done just that the night before. The comment gives her an added incentive not to confess what's happened to her friends and forestall her [[Destructive Romance]].
* On its broadcast of 21 January 1989, ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' included a [http://www.hulu.com/watch/19312 sketch] about a 17th century British nobleman ([[John Malkovich]]) who was sure all those treating with him sincerely -- a woman declaring her love, the Royal Artist presenting a masterpiece, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and his groundskeeper]] -- were mocking him, while his two manservants ([[Jon Lovitz]] and [[Dana Carvey]]) were actually mocking him behind his back.
