Line 29:
* Explicitly invoked by Hank in ''[[Californication]]'' (season 2, episode 4) after his daughter defends her interest in ''The Satanic Bible'' against criticism from Julian, a self-help author whose work she describes as "gobbledygook".
* A failed attempt at starting one of these appears in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Hungry Earth".
* ''[[That '70s Show]]'': Eric, Hyde and Kelso did this for Bob after he told Donna that she has no right to question who he dates, Jackie's mom in this case.
* The trope is invoked by name on ''[[Bones]]'' ("The Doctor in the Photo").
* ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'': Howard receives one of these in "The Chokes", courtesy of his hero, Jurgen Haaberemaaster.
Line 51:
* Subverted beautifully in ''[[The Producers]]'', when the lone clapper is rounded upon by the rest of the audience.
* [[Death Becomes Her]]: Ernest Menville is the only person who claps at the end of Madeline Ashton’s “Songbird” performance. Unlike [[The Producers]], the audience does not pummel him since very few people are left in the theater. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Becomes_Her\]
* [[Foul Play]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foul_Play\]: Everyone else in the theater starts to clap when the Pope claps.
* It's even done in ''[[Citizen Kane]]'', although with a bit of a twist. After the disastrous operatic debut of his wife Susan, Kane stubbornly stands up and claps and the rest of the audience begrudgingly follows suit.
* ''[[Star Trek VI]]'' wasn't above this one either, after Kirk finished his dramatic speechifying before the Federation leadership.
* Played completely straight in ''[[Jersey Girl]]''.
* ''[[Where the Red Fern Grows]]'': Sort-of used and sort-of subverted. During a competition to catch as many as possible in one night, circumstances force the progatonist to abandon several raccoons his dogs had treed. He nonetheless claps heartily (but not slowly) for the winner when everyone else was too embarrassed to do so, having heard the story of what happened the night before. For his sportsmanship, the winner gives the kid the prize money.
* Subverted in the film ''[[Little Miss Sunshine]]''. At the end of Olive's performance, one single person claps, four people in the audience follow, and someone even yells "AMAZING!!!", to no effect.
