Line 77:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' is the master of the subverted trope. One example of many is in the episode "Monty Can't Buy Me Love," where [[Cue the Flying Pigs]] is subverted when Mr. Burns and Smithers enter a book store:
{{quote|'''Burns:''' Books and cocoa in the same store? What's next, a talking banana?
'''Smithers:''' ''(after a moment of [[Just for Pun|fruitless waiting]])'' Uh, I don't see one, sir.
'''Burns:''' Of course not. The very notion of a talking banana is absurd. But still.... }}
Line 91:
** The Simpsons really loves playing subversions for laughs. Another example: When the Simpsons are kicked out of their house, Homer remarks: "[[Tempting Fate|Well, at least it's]] [[Cue the Rain|not raining!"]] Beat. "See, it's not raining."
* In [[Family Guy]], Peter has just launched himself from a cannon. Cut to a living room:
{{quote|'''Guy:''' Great, I've got all my [[Fall of the House of Cards|dominoes]] set up exactly how I want them, next to the good china. Now I'll just place this priceless faberge egg next to my newborn hemophiliac baby....
''(Peter lands with thud outside the window, and looks in.)''
'''Peter:''' Wow. Those are all really nice things. }}
