* Occasionally done for laughs on ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' when someone hits a Daily Double. Instead of saying the typical "I'd like to make this a true Daily Double", one contestant said, "[[Wheel of Fortune|I'd like to solve the puzzle.]]" The requirements for answers being a question have also been abused for jokes, such as "What be ebonics?"
* Contestants on other shows have to be reminded that they're ''not'' on ''Jeopardy!'' (''[[Gambit]], [[Win Ben Stein's Money]]'') after answering a question in the form of a question. Ben Stein makes a causer of this infraction wear a dunce cap.
* Late in the run of ''[[Concentration|Classic Concentration]]'', contestants started saying "[[Wheel of Fortune|I'd like to solve the puzzle]]" once the board was at a position where the rebus was solvable.

* Fez of ''[[That '70s Show]]'' is prone to saying "Good day," to which another character protests, "But, Fez..." and he replies, "I said, 'Good day,'" and storms off. On a few occasions, however, he subverts the expectation by either not responding to the "but" line in the same manner, or else replacing "good day" with another phrase, often [[Trademark Favorite Food|something to do with candy]] or women.
* Barney from ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' did this once.
