{{quote|'''Minny:''' "Oh, for the love of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Chrysler!]] Can we ''please'' ask someone for directions?"

* Played so straight it's almost a parody in one episode of ''[[Home Improvement (TV series)|Home Improvement]]'', when Tim and Jill have to drive to their friend's wedding in Michigan. Even though Jill ''already has'' directions, Tim refuses to use them, and they end up in Ohio instead.
* Referenced in "The Science Fair" episode of ''[[The Red Green Show]]'':
{{quote|'''Red Green:''' "We're out there in our own vehicles, burning gas, got the sunglasses on, looking good. People seeing us going by would have no idea where we are. And we're not really excited about sharing that information. A man does not embrace the concept of going up to total strangers and saying, 'You may not know this, but I'm a moron,' whereas the woman he's with is only too happy to share that information."}}
* Conversed in ''[[Rules of Engagement (TV series)|Rules of Engagement]]''. Audrey makes a joke about men not asking for directions, and the couple she's talking to has never heard of this trope and the husband asks for directions.
* According to his co-hosts, without a sat-nav (and sometimes even with), this is a very accurate description of [[Top Gear|James May]]
