Line 291:
** The game also utilized this in the final confrontation with {{spoiler|Kreia}}. The notes for {{spoiler|her}} voice actor in the script even explicitly spelled out the lack of a [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] moment.
* In ''[[
* Shy Guys, recurring enemies in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, wear masks, and many games at one point mention what their identity would be. In ''[[Mario Tennis]]'', if Shy Guy wins a match, he will step up to get the trophy, but trips and falls down, his mask falling off. He is facing the other way, but Luigi, being able to see his face perfectly, looks astonished. This again happens in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', except no one appears to have seen it.
** In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Shy Guy-like ghosts appear as enemies. ''Their'' masks can be removed, and seen perfectly, {{spoiler|although it is merely black space with two glowing yellow eyes visible.}}

* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', "Fighting Families": [[No Name Given|Arnold]] has just been drawn out by random to participate in a gameshow "Fighting Families", but the person doing the draw adds: "There seems to be a smudge over the last name..." A similar sequence happens in "Eugene, Eugene!": Arnold has been cast in a school play, and the casting person adds "I can't read my own handwriting..."

** "Lisa Gets An A":
Line 482:

* The same happened with Dr. McCartney in ''[[Green Wing]]'' -- at his wedding in the very last episode, everybody coughs right at the moment when his first name is spoken.
* ''[[Scrubs]]'' has the [[Almighty Janitor|Janitor]]'s real name, which is was going to be revealed during the finale, until they found out the show was [[
** Also, in the beginning of the show the Janitor only interacted with J.D. This was so that, in case of sudden cancellation, there would be a handy Reveal -- the fact that the Janitor was a figment of J.D.'s imagination. The show increased in popularity and the Janitor started interacting with other characters.
*** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in one episode when The Janitor tells J.D. that he doesn't even know his name. J.D. takes a quick look at the Janitor's name tag but he quickly covers it up with his hand.
