Line 8:
* A friend feels that they are the odd-man-out amongst their group.
When this phrase is used in the context of an ongoing romantic relationship, this could indicate the moment in which the speaker realizes that their feelings are not fully reciprocated, and lead to a [[Make Up or Break Up]] dilemma. If it is instead used by an ex-lover, it can serve to show the audience that the current pairing is [[One True Pairing|True Love]] after all.
This is very common in [[Netorare Genre]] (or [[Cuckold]]) stories, where it is used to further the humiliation of the cuckolded party by showing how much dominant the lover is.

* ''[[Dead Air (2009
{{quote|'''Lucy''': "You never picked up ''my'' brother from the airport!"
'''Logan''': "But, you never asked me to!"
Line 44:
* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', in the episode where Barney puts together the super-date in order to bang J-Lo, Robin laments that he never went to similar lengths for her, even though they had been in a relationship together. When Barney meets his {{spoiler|father, and sees that he has another son for whom he acts as a typical boring, suburban dad to, Barney is extremely hurt because, if he was just going to be normal and regular, why couldn't he have been normal ''with Barney?''.}}
* Though the exact stock phrase isn't used, the concept appears several times in [[Coupling]]. Jane's reaction to this trope feeds her story arc in the "Inferno" episode.
** Subverted in the episode "The Cupboard of Patrick's Love" when Steve is watching what he believes to be Patrick's sex tape with Susan. [[Hilarity Ensues|It turns out to not be her.]]
* In ''[[Get Smart]]'', 99 tells a man her name, inciting her ignorant partner Max's jealousy. She matter-of-factly replies, [[You Didn't Ask|"You never asked me."]] {{spoiler|It's actually a [[Code Name]]. Viewers never learn her real name, and we doubt Max did either.}}
* In an episode of [[Two and A Half Men]], Charlie spends most of the episode teaching Jake how to behave at his first "boy-girl party". Eventually, Alan complains about how Charlie never taught him anything, and basically left him on his own, and suffered socially for it. Charlie does seem remorseful for this, but mentions how he was just a stupid teenager at the time, and didn't want to hang out with his little brother.
