== Live Action Television ==
* ''[[The Bill]]'': DCI Jack Meadows, who knows about antiques.
* ''[[Firefly]]'': Subverted in "The Train Job". The crew mention they need to send someone respectable, and everyone looks at Simon, who seems nervous about it...cut to [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold|Inara]], the ambassador of the ship, putting the plan into action.
* ''[[The Wire]]'': The cops need a decoy to infiltrate a brothel. Enter McNulty. "Send a whore to catch a whore."
* On an episode of ''[[Taxi]]'', Alex and Louie have a bet going on who can make the most money in a night of cabbing. Louie brings in more money, but Alex makes enough in tips to make slightly more than Louie. The question of the winner comes down to whether the tips Alex has collected count towards the total. They decide to let a person who didn't bet make the decision, but only one person in the entire garage didn't do so. Cue everyone staring at Latka as he eats a bucket of chicken. Oblivious, he looks up and says, "Would anyone like a bite?"
* In the ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'' episode "White Hole", the ship has shut down and the crew need to get through all the sealed doors:
{{quote| '''Lister:''' Look, they're only interior doors. They're only a light alloy. Maybe we could get through them if we use a battering ram. All we need is something, say, I dunno, six foot long, fairly sturdy, with a flat top.<br />
'''Everyone looks at Kryten the android.''' <br />

* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]] has at least two:
** In "The Drill" aimed at Sokka, because he's the idea guy.
** In the series finale {{spoiler|aimed at Zuko, because he's the expert for tracking Aang.}}
* In the ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' movie ''The Beast with a Billion Backs'', Bender suggests that an unmanned probe be sent to the transdimensional rupture. All eyes then turn to Bender, who goes, "What?"
** Also the episode "A Tale of Two Santas":
{{quote| '''Bender:''' Santa's right. We need some sort of robot! ... Oh, crap! ''I'm'' some sort of robot!}}
* ''[[James and Thethe Giant Peach]]'', film version:
{{quote| '''James:''' And we'll need bait: bird bait.<br />
'''Mr. Earthworm:''' Bird bait?! Where d'you expect we'll find ''bird bait'' out here in the middle of the... of the... (Ms. Ladybug pulls out a cowbell) Have they lost their minds?! }}
* Prince Naveen in [[The Princess and Thethe Frog]] causes this to happen to a redneck that captures Tiana. He places himself on the guy's head, and lets the other two rednecks in the canoe see him. As the two raise their clubs...
{{quote| '''Pa''': What choo two gawkin' at?<br />
'''(Cue blunt force trauma)''' }}
* [[Transformers Animated (Animation)|Bumblebee]] tends to play the bait a lot, and eventually comes out with this:
{{quote| '''Bumblebee''': Why's everyone looking at me?...Why's everyone always looking at me?}}
* [[Averted]] on ''[[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]]''--the team concludes that [[Batman]] would have tried every logical means to find [[Mad Scientist|T.O. Morrow]], so they need to think outside the box with an idea [[Crazy Enough to Work|stupid enough to give them a lead]]. Everyone turns to Wally. He doesn't seem surprised.
{{quote| "Well, as a matter of fact..."}}
* The [[Jimmy Neutron]] episode "Jimmy For President" has a [[Double Subversion]]. When Ms. Fowl announces that one kid hasn't voted yet (who turns out to be Carl), nobody looks at anybody. However, when Carl says [[Tempting Fate|"Why is everybody looking at me?"]], the students immediately turn their heads at Carl.
* ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' - Having secretly released Mr Burns's [[Caligula's Horse|canary scapegoat]] (yes, really), Homer tells him the plant is undergoing a surprise inspection. Burns starts wracking his brains for a suitable patsy, with Homer repeatedly popping up in front of him and going "Hello!"
{{quote| Burns: This moon-faced simpleton is continually interrupting my search for a patsy, why do.... Hello!<br />
Homer: Why are you looking at me like that? }}
