If he can remember so clearly what it ''isn't'', he could probably save a lot of time by remembering what it ''is'', but that wouldn't be as interesting.

 

Is very much a case of [[Truth in Television]].

 

'''Yakamura:''' Ah! That's it, that's it! Good work! }}

 

* There's an absolutely hilarious version in ''[[A Bronx Tale]]''. An eight year old boy from [[Big Applesauce|the Bronx]] witnesses a mob boss kill a man, but follows the code of silence by not telling the police anything. When he goes to confession, however, rather than leaving it out entirely he tries to squeeze it in between sins like missing Sunday Mass and eating meat on Friday. Naturally the priest catches on and responds with this trope. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghq-AOHQBR0 Link to full scene].

'''Young Calogero:''' It was only once, Father! }}

 

'''Vetinari:''' (coming back in) You did ''what?'' }}

 

* ''[[Full House]]'' did the second variation in the episode in which Rebecca goes bungie jumping.

* ''[[The Mentalist]]'':

'''Lisbon:''' Everybody knows that. The attorney general knows that. }}

'''Monk:''' [[I Never Said It Was Poison|How did you know about the chain-snatching?]] }}

 

* ''[[How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying]]'' as a running gag, ending the show as an unfinished punchline:

'''Finch:''' No, before that. }}

 

 

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', Katara first notices Aang as a potential romantic interest because of one of these: an offhand comment by Sokka had echoed a [[Fortune Teller]]'s prediction of her love life.

'''Vlad''': You mean the stealing you part? Oh, Maddie, you could always see right through me! I'm just going to come out and say it! Maddie, please dump Jack and stay here! }}

** And again in "Secret Weapons":

'''Vlad:''' *joyous* That's the one! }}

* ''[[Family Guy]]'', "The Son Also Draws"

'''Peter:''' That's it! Let's go. }}

** [[Averted Trope|Averted]] hilariously in another episode, ''Family Gay''

'''Peter''': The gay gene. [[Don't Explain the Joke|I assumed that's what you meant, even though it wasn't literally the last thing I said, when you said "What did you just say?", it's just that was clearly the most ununsual.]] }}

'''Brendon:''' This fish is dry. }}

'''Patrick:''' Never mind, I've got an idea. }}

[they are interrupted by a giant rainforest growing underneath their picnic spot]

'''Jeremy''': I said...."wow"! }}
