Line 51:
* Spoofed and lampshaded in ''[[Not Another Teen Movie]]'', when a guy keeps trying to start a slow clap, only to be shushed and lectured that it's the wrong time. [[Rule of Three|The third time]], he finally realizes that he has the perfect chance to start one, but he's beaten to the punch by another character, whom he immediately beats up in a rage.
* 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. [
* [[Foul Play]] [
* 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.
