Line 24:
*** Note, too, Osaka doesn't have her "Chiyo's dad" dream until ''after'' Chiyo's 11th birthday, when Osaka gave her a (stuffed) "orange cat thing," which Sakaki immediately identified as Chiyo's father (having seen him in her New Year's dream a few weeks or months prior).
** At one point in the manga, Yukari stops in the middle of a lesson to muse about a tongue twister (in the English version, it's "She sells seashells"). Everyone looks confused... except Osaka, who nods knowingly.
* ''[[Death Note]]''
* In one episode of [[Widget Series]] ''Ippatsu Kiki Musume'', Kunyan wakes up with her hair caught in the drain of a bathtub filled with water, unable to free herself and facing imminent drowning. She "realizes" that since people take in air through their mouths and release it through their butts, she should be able to reverse the process (of course it doesn't work). Her friend Linda enters, realizes what's happening and...attempts CPR on Kunyan's butt, having come to the same conclusion. Soon after, their friend Naja enters and, you guessed it, comes to the exact same conclusion, running off to get an enema in order to help save Kunyan.
* ''[[Toradora!]]'' has, at the start of an episode, Ryuji having a [[Catapult Nightmare]] in which Taiga agrees to marry him. However, because Taiga refers to him as "her dog" much of the time, the dream features him getting a dog house, while his mother (dressed as a dog) shows off all of Taiga's puppies. Taiga, also dressed as a dog, tells Ryuji they're his, which is when he wakes up. Moments later, Taiga tells Ryuji "I had an unpleasant dream. You were a dog, and the dog was my husband. Anyway, it was the worst dream ever."
Line 48:
'''She-Hulk:''' Too bad her name isn't [[Alliteration|"Fundra", because that would have sounded cool]].<br />
'''[[Fantastic Four|Sue Richards:]]''' I was just thinking that ... which scares me a little bit. }}
* ''Everyone'' who meets [[Batman]] comments on his height, it seems, usually to the effect of "I thought you'd be taller." (for the record, he's 6'2") This even extends to other members of the Bat-family, although it's often at least somewhat justified (Dick Grayson is a good four inches shorter than Bruce Wayne, so when he takes on the role of Batman it's obvious to anyone familiar with Batman that it's a different person; Tim Drake has his height remarked on in ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]'', but he's only about 14 and hasn't reached his full height yet). At this point, it's gone far beyond merely
** [[Depending on the Writer]], this applies to [[Batman]] and [[Superman]]. in a issue of ''No Man's Land'' they have a short talk, before they see something they have to deal with, saying that they will come back soon, going to opposite sides at the same time ''and'' coming back at the same time apologizing for making the other wait.
* In ''[[Asterix]] in Corsica'', a young Roman soldier eager for his career prospects volunteers for duty in Corsica - which has "good chances for promotion" due to most of the Romans there being [[Reassigned to Antarctica|hopeless cases sent to Corsica as punishment]], is compared to Salamix, a Corsican who [[Tap on the Head|hit his head and was never quite right again]] by some old Corsicans discussing things. Later, when trying to capture the heroes, he orders his men to "search the Maquis", leading one of them to say "He's as crazy as that nut Salamix!"
Line 61:
** A recent [[USA Today]] story revealed that the most common password for computers is '123456' with '12345' being 2nd.
* ''[[Repo Man]]'': Just about ''every line''. Either [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] or [[Justified Trope|Justified]], depending on how coherent you find Miller's ramblings.
* ''[[Ghost Dog]]: Way of the Samurai'' does this (not always for comedy) with Ghost Dog and
* Used in ''[[Love Actually]]'' to show that the couple who don't speak the same language are well matched. After a book manuscript flies into the lake they are both swimming to collect the paper and he says "I hope there aren't any [[My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels|eels]], I hate eels," and she says, "Don't splash too much, [[The Princess Bride (film)|you'll disturb the eels]]". When they get out, she suggests he should name a character after her and give her 50% of the profits, while he suggests that he should name a character after her and give her 5% of the profits.

* In ''[[The Ipcress File]]'', secret agent Harry Palmer is being sent away on attachment to Major Dalby's unit by his dour boss Colonel Ross. Before he goes Ross warns "Be careful with Major Dalby. He doesn't have my sense of humour". When he arrives, Major Dalby warns "Be careful with me. I don't have Colonel Ross's sense of humour".
* In ''[[Heathers]]'', the psychotic J.D. plants a bottle of mineral water next to the two [[Jerk Jock
* In ''[[Back to The Future]]'', the orange windbreaker that Marty is wearing shortly after arriving in 1955 is mistaken for a life preserver (which means he must be a sailor) by Doc, one of Biff's lackeys, the soda parlour guy, and Lorraine's mom.
* Invoked rather violently in ''[[The Departed]]'': [[Jerkass|Billy's]] in a bar trying to get in with the [[The Irish Mob|mob]]. He orders a cranberry juice, whereupon the guy sitting next to him says its a diuretic and asks if [[Menstrual Menace|he's on his period.]] Billy smashes his mug against the guy's head and is about to beat the crap out of him before mob lieutenant Mr. French separates them. He asks what's he's drinking: "What, is it your period?"

'''Strong Bad:''' Hey, The Cheat. We catch anything in the Death Hole today?
'''The Cheat:''' [[The Unintelligible|* The Cheat noises*
'''Strong Bad:'''What? There's no way he could've been in there. He moved away after fifth grade! }}
** The usage of "DNA Evidence" started out like this, but eventually became [[Arc Words]].
Line 405:
'''Squidward''': (In between Patrick's rant) I wonder if a fall from this height will be enough to kill me. <br />
'''Spongebob''': Patrick, I'm sorry I doubted you.<br />
* Later, Spongebob asks Mermaidman*
'''Mermaid Man:''' Did you try setting it to wumbo? }}
