Line 94:
* In ''The Science of [[Discworld]] 2: The Globe'', Hex instructs Rincewind and Ponder Stibbons to disguise the Librarian (an ape) with a dress while standing on the Luggage (a chest) when going to Elizabethan England, because the English will think that he is a Spanish lady. When they find the wizards that had gotten stuck in England, the first question they ask is "Who is the Spanish lady?".
* [[Terry Pratchett]] uses this trope again in ''[[Johnny and The Dead]]''. When asked who invented the telephone, Bigmac replies "Sir Humphrey Telephone?" Completely unrelated, the Dead discuss the telephone, and one of them mentions thinking it was invented by Sir Humphrey Telephone.
* In ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', the non-too-bright Trev wants to ask Juliet out, and he plans to do so by sending her a letter saying, "I think you're really fit. I really fancy you. How about a date? No hanky-panky, I promise." His more literate friend Nutt suggests that something more might be needed, and helpfully composes a long love poem for Trev to give to Juliet. However, Juliet - who isn't all too clever either - can't understand a word of Nutt's overly articulate poem, and so asks ''her'' more literate friend, Glenda, to explain it to her. Glenda reads the poem, thinks for a bit, and then translates it as, "he thinks you're really fit, he really fancies you, how about a date, no hanky-panky, he promises." (she later admits that it wasn't that hard to figure out - one way or another, that's what ''every'' love poem is trying to say)
* In ''[[Airborn|Starclimber]]'', the first time James Sanderson is mentioned, Matt says "Let me guess: the heir to the Sanderson fortune." Throughout the book, nearly every time Sanderson is mentioned, a ''different'' character will refer to him as "the heir to the Sanderson fortune".
* At several points in the ''[[Friday the 13th (film)]]'' novelization characters think something along the lines of "And then I won't be the only one not getting laid".
Line 509:
* Hank Ketcham and David Law, on the same day, an ocean apart, [[Dennis the Menace|began publishing comics of a trouble-making kid named Dennis.]]
* Artist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Vallejo Boris Vallejo] claims he had no idea how similar [https://www.borisjulie.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/B-187-600x901.jpg this 1979 work] (warning, NSFW) was to a scene in ''[[The Cell]]'' until he saw the movie years later.
