* ''[[The Middle]]'': When Sue is at the meeting listing all the activities she tried (and failed) at in a speech, Frankie gives her a 'hurry up' gesture from the audience. Sue sees this and concludes "Oh, yes, and tumbling."
* In an episode of ''[[Psych]]'', Shawn and Gus see a Bounty Hunter wink at them, and practically grow to [[Hero Worship]] him. It isn't until in their adult life, they find out said Bounty Hunter's wink was merely a facial tic.
