Aren't You Forgetting Someone?: Difference between revisions

== [[Film]] ==

* Subverted in ''[[Music and Lyrics]]'' when {{spoiler|Alex and Cora are giving their concert, they don't thank Sophie for writing the lyrics (she had wanted her name taken off of it anyway because they changed the content without her approval), but then Alex dedicates his newest song (which he secretly wrote all by himself) to Sophie.}}

 

 

'''[[George Burns]]''': You said it! (Hangs up, smiles to camera) }}

* In "Kiss Me Steph", the first episode of ''[[Degrassi Junior High]]'', Steph gives credit for her winning the school president election to Joey rather than Voula, her best friend and campaign manager who has done most of the work. This causes a rift between her and Voula that lasts throughout the series.

** And also ends up on the wrong end of this, when he attempts to get Prince George to make him a lord. {{spoiler|He makes Baldrick a lord instead.}}

* In Bob Newhart's show ''Bob'' (where he played a comic book writer/artist) he won an award, and for his acceptance speech just said "thank you" which ticked off all the people he worked with, for not acknowledging them. He explained that he did that because he didn't want to take up huge amounts of time during what was basically a preliminary award, which would make him look silly, and that if they won for Best Book he'd acknowledge them all. They won Best Book, but before he could start naming people he was played off quickly and all the other participants left the ceremony room, so nobody else got recognized.

{{quote| "How can you talk about all this IT stuff without mentioning...the toliet cleaners. They said we couldn't do it!!" }}

* Subverted in an episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'', when JD and Turk were listing some of JD's old girlfriends in front of Elliot and Carla. Carla tries to remind them that he keeps skipping over Elliot, who is nearly in tears, but it turns out that he had already mentioned her. He just referred to her as "Mole-butt," which was a nickname referring to a mole [[Continuity Nod|that had actually been mentioned both before and after that episode]].

{{quote| '''Author:''' Well, Amber, it was given to me... by God.<br />

'''Frasier:''' ''[angry:]'' By God?! Do you believe this guy's grandiosity? ''I'm'' God and he knows it! }}

{{quote| '''Tea''': ''*describing her card, Shining Friendship*'' It has Joey's courage, Tristan's spirit, and Yugi's heart. Late comer Bakura isn't mentioned. Amusingly enough, she really ''does'' leave Bakura out in the anime.<br />

'''Bakura''': Aren't you forgetting someone?<br />

'''Sour Grapes:''' Of course not, Purpy. I could never forget my purple partner in crime. My warm, wonderfully wicked, nasty but charming...pet snake, Dregs. }}

* In one episode of ''[[Sushi Pack]]'', the eponymous Pack think that the announced statue of "Wharf City's Greatest Hero" will be one of them, but they find that it's actually Kato Platypus, who was a hero years before.

{{quote| '''Joe''': Thank you. You know, no one can win a gold medal by himself. It takes friends. And I want to acknowledge a special friend in the audience today. My friend Peter... ''*Peter looks hopeful*'' Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary! Let's give him a hand, folks. But that's nothing compared to what this next man did. He challenged me to go that extra mile. That man is Mr. Griffin. ''*Peter looks hopeful*'' Comedian Eddie Griffin, get up here! Your acerbic anti-white humor was a constant inspiration. Thank you, sir. And last but not least, who could forget the fat guy? ''*Peter looks hopeful*'' Chef Paul Prudhomme! You get your Cajun ass up here!}}

* On ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the union contract stipulates that every worker must win the Worker of the Week award at least once; Homer figures he's a shoo-in this week since everyone else already got the award. The award goes to...an inanimate carbon rod. This spurs Homer to [[Halfway Plot Switch|become an astronaut]]; when he's in space, Homer causes a chain of problems, which he eventually solves with... [[Chekhov's Gun|an inanimate carbon rod]]. The rod then gets its photo on the cover of ''Time'' magazine and its own ticker tape parade.
