Truth in Television: Difference between revisions

** In the #MeToo era? Invoking this trope, even fictionally, has [[Unfortunate Implications]]. It's a bit like a radio DJ joking about payola on-air.

* [[Casual Kink]]: In some places far, far more than others. If you're in such a place, you probably either are very aware of it, or don't even recognize it as unusual.

* [[CAT Trap]]: If you're suffering from claustrophobia, you don't want to spend too much time in a closed scanner.

* [[Caught with Your Pants Down]]: Because some people [[Your Door Was Open|don't remember to lock the door]], and others are exhibitionists.

** Krav Maga, the deadliest martial art, was made specifically for Jews getting accosted by the SS.

* [[Leave Behind a Pistol]]: Intentionally leaving a suicide method in reach of someone likely suicidal has happened.

* [[Lensman Arms Race]]: World War II and the Cold War. Consider: the Germans only made very primitive payload rockets with long range work somewhat in WWII, and America couldn't launch a rocket as late as 1957. We were on the moon just over a ''decade'' later. ([[The Space Race]] being guided on both sides by [[Herr Doctor|genius German rocket scientists from Nazi Germany]], who were unaware of each others' existence as competitors for quite some time). And of course, nothing says "my <s>dick is bigger</s> kung-fu is better than yours" like the ever-more-powerful nuclear weapons tests of the 50s and 60s.

* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: Some items are far more dangerous or even deadly than they would look, either by themselves or when combined with something else.
