Line 30:
* In one chapter of ''[[Medaka Box]]'', Nabeshima is fighting Myouga Unzen, a character who can only speak and understand a numbers-based language. At one point, Nabeshima comments that Myouga is going to "pull a [[Dragon Ball]]" and get a speed boost by dropping her weights. Myouga picks out the word "dragonball" and guesses that Nabeshima thinks she's going to get a speed boost.
** Later in the chapter, Nabeshima manages to get the upperhand (while [[Ironic Echo|twisting one of Myouga's taunts]]), and Myouga exclaims "You damn cheater!" One of Nabeshima's classmates asks Medaka (who learned how to translate Myouga's language) if Myouga just said "You cheater!", simply because [[Justified Trope|everyone who fights Nabeshima says that]] at some point.
* In all of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', the only person who actually seems to think alike and see eye-to-eye with Sousuke seems to be Atsunobu Hayashimizu, the president of the Student Council. The guy agrees with Sousuke's weird, [[Cloudcuckoolander|outlandish conclusions]], and supports his [[Trigger Happy|violent]], [[Person of Mass Destruction|destructive ways]].
* During the climax of the fourth ''[[Detective Conan]]'' movie, "Captured In Her Eyes", when a (currently amnesiac) Ran asks Conan why he's protecting her, he proclaims that he "loves her, more than any other person on this Earth." Once her memory returns, Ran came to the conclusion that Conan was [[Invoked Trope|intentionally]] [[Chekhov's Gun|mimicking how they'd been told]] Ran's father proposed to her mother. Conan is just a little disgusted with himself to realize it was, in fact, this trope.
** In the series proper, the fact that Kogoro and Eri actually are more alike then they're willing to admit (both preferring the same food, liking the same color, remembering their first date by dressing up in the clothes they wore etc) is used to show [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]].
Line 468:
{{quote|'''Peri''': He'll be fine. He's got chicken wings.
'''Mr. Smarty Smarts''': But don't chickens live underwater? }}
* This is used a lot in ''[[Hey Arnold!]]''. For example, in the episode "Downtown as Fruits", Arnold and Gerald say "Boy, people downtown sure are friendly." when they receive a bag full of cash. They later give the rest to a family stranded with a broken-down car, who then say the same thing.
Line 495:
* Pyramids. Unless you believe the [[Ancient Astronauts]] theory.
** Not so strange if you realize that pyramids are among the most ''stable'' shapes when you haven't invented rebar yet. (same principle as an arch: inward pressure holds them up.)
* [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Malekith the Witch King, cursed ruler of the Dark Elves]] and [[Marvel|Malekith the Accursed, witch and king of the Dark Elves]]. At least, there's no acknowledged connection between the two, and they debuted about a decade apart in different countries.
* The letters section of ''Car And Driver's'' December 2010 features two letters about the demise of Ford's Mercury division. Both letters lament that there will never be a trim level of the Marquis called the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|de Sade.]]
** That's been a running joke for years. Bit unusual to have two letters like that in an issue however.
