* ''[[Doctor Who]]'':
** In "The Vampires of Venice", Rory faces down a vampire with a broom, which he attempts to use to intimidate the vampire... by flailing it around wildly as if he was a master swordsman. Unfortunately for him, the vampire he's facing ''is'' a master swordsman. Cue [[Oh Crap]] on Rory's part.
