The Stool Pigeon: Difference between revisions

== [[Live -Action TV]] ==

* In a [[Very Special Episode]] of ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'' Cindy learns not to tattle - then is [[Broken Aesop|asked to tattle]] to find a valuable certificate.

* The culprit of the week in the ''[[Monk]]'' episode "Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk's" main motivation in trying to intercept various documents and tapes that detailed journalistic work that Trudy Monk and Janice worked on was because {{spoiler|one of the tapes contained evidence that he was the person inside the dock union who was involved in ousting the former president from power due to corruption charges, and it is heavily implied that had his fellow union workers discovered his involvement, he'd be in deep trouble with his "friends."}}

** Mr. Monk and the Dentist had an odd variation of the Lacerated Larry type from the murder [[Asshole Victim|"victim"]] of the week: The victim (an ex-cop who went renegade and started robbing armored trucks) ended up having to go to the dentist for a chipped tooth that he got in a scuffle with one of the armored truck drivers during a heist (he was technically a cop, so he was on their dental plan). While going through the routine anasthasia, the ex-cop, evidentially under the anasthasiaanesthesia's influence, blabbed to the dentists working on him about the heist as well as the hiding place for the money, to which the dentists stole the money. Unfortunately, he, either from lingering memories of what happened, or put two-and-two together about what happened, found out about their robbing his ill-gotten bearer bonds and confronted him, leading to his death at the hands of the dentists. The dentists later attempted to have Monk tortured at the Dentist's office, although they weren't able to get much out of him before they ended up arrested by Disher and Stottlemeyer (the former of whom spent most of the episode as a [[Cassandra Truth]] witness to the aforementioned murder while he himself was under anasthasia).

* Happened [[Once Per Episode]] in the ''[[Where in Thethe World Is Carmen San DiegoSandiego?]]'' game show. Once the [[Villain of the Week]] was apprehended, he or she would phone the winning contestant to sell Carmen out, telling them what continent to look for her, leading to the lightning round. There was even one recurring villain who was a [[Rat-Man]] who told the contestant that "If there's one thing a rat can do, it's ''rat''!"
