Line 115:
* ''[[Laugh In]]'' had a joke about a feminist drive-a-thon being canceled, after all the participants got into their cars and promptly backed in to each other.
* In ''[[The Office]]'' (US version) episode "Diversity Day", everyone is supposed to treat the others as the race named on a card stuck to their forehead. Dwight demands that Pam treat him as his new ethnicity (Asian), so he could figure out what it was.
{{quote|'''Pam''': Okay, if I have to do this, based on stereotypes that are totally untrue and that I do not agree with, you would maybe... [[Asian Drivers|not be a very good driver.]]<br />
'''Dwight''': Aw, man! Am I a woman? }}
* Lisa Douglas of ''[[Green Acres]]'' plays this trope straight in an episode where she's forced to go to high school, though her lack of driving skills comes less from the fact that she's a woman then the fact that she's... well, [[Cloudcuckoolander|Lisa.]]
Line 123:
* Addressed by the [[Myth Busters]] in a 2012 episode. They determined there was no meaningful difference between gender and driving competency.
* The first time [[I Love Lucy|Lucy Ricardo]] gets behind the wheel of a car, she tries to make a U-turn in ''the Holland Tunnel''.
