Line 17:
== [[Commercials]] ==
* A Geico commercial has the CEO of Geico suggesting he do the "fall back and you catch me"
* An insurance company had a radio commercial involving actors doing the falling trust exercise. Cue falling, thump, muffled cry of pain, and the catcher saying, "Wait... what's my motivation?" At which the slogan of the commercial came in, "Life's better with a partner you can trust".
== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* Used hilariously in an excellent ''[[NCIS]]'' fanfic. It's structured like a real episode, and complete with this humourous subplot. Tony is insulted when Ziva and McGee jokingly claim not to trust him. He responds by instituting "random trust fall"
* The blunder in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6717308/7/But_Who_IS_He But Who IS He?]'' is that the workforce had to have training at all; once after [[Sherlock]] informed a woman that her husband was dead (most likely in his [[Brutal Honesty|usual subtle manner]]), the police department was almost sued and had to undergo two days of sensitivity training, something which Lestrade looks back on with dread. John then [[Fridge Horror|realizes in horror]] that the only thing worse than going through a sensitivity workshop would be going through it ''with Sherlock''.
Line 27:
* The protagonists of the slasher movie ''Severance'' are a sales team out on a team building weekend in the Hungarian wilderness.
* ''[[Mean Girls]]'' had a high-school version of the falling-backwards exercise: Everyone was supposed to admit a flaw, then fall backwards. One of the members of the [[Alpha Bitch]] [[Girl Posse]] apologized for being so beautiful it made everyone jealous. After she turns around, everyone except for one girl walks away in disgust. You can probably guess the outcome.
** Played with when another girl falls and everyone catches
* In ''[[Birthday Girl]]'', the bank branch managers are doing the falling backwards exercise. The catchers fail at their role because they are stunned at the sight of their model employee {{spoiler|stuffing a couple of guitar cases full of money in the vault room}} across the hall.
