* From ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''

* A very similar joke was used in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':

* Jade did to a four-armed Hak Fu in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''.

* Creator/DaveBarry mentioned a friend of his who was nearly ExiledTotheCouch when he failed to notice his wife had gone to the hairstylist. So this time, he proceeded to shower her with compliments on her new haircut when she returned, until she told him her appointment had been cancelled and her hair was still the same.
