* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater''. During an assault on the Krusty Krab, [=SpongeBob=] attempts to call Mr. Krabs for battle orders, only to get Sandy making a food order; two Krabby Patties, extra ketchup, extra mustard, hold the mayo. After getting through to Mr. Krabs, his attack order is the same; extra ketchup, extra mustard, hold the mayo. Cue [=SpongeBob=] with a condiment gun loaded with extra ketchup and extra mustard, with Patrick standing behind, holding a very large jar of mayo.

* The Music/{{Tool}} song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82XqhHYwB-Q Die Eier von Satan]] sounds like audio from the [[ThoseWackyNazis Third Reich]] played over a bunch of power tools having a seizure, with the speaker ominously repeating the phrase "Und Keine Eier". It's actually just a cookie recipe in German, and "Und Keine Eier" simply means "and no eggs".

* In the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' episode "[[Recap/PokemonS1E13MysteryAtTheLighthouse Mystery at the Lighthouse]]", Brock tells Bill he is going to make hamburgers and asks if Bill wants one. Bill responds by asking Brock whether he "can cook without using tofu." While Bill is asking this because he's been unable to get anything ''but'' tofu for quite a while, it's still usually safe to assume that hamburgers don't contain any tofu. [[CulturalTranslation None of this was in the original Japanese, where Bill liked tofu just fine and this conversation was entirely different.]]

Starting in TheNewTens, pineapple is getting more attention regarding pizza toppings, owing to a common belief that the flavors of pineapple and pizza are a poor match for one another.

* ''WebVideo/{{Sethical}}'': Parodied in the short "boneless pizza", where the order is to avoid putting in an ingredient the restaurant never had in the first place, much less would put on pizza. When the cashier tries to clarify, the guy who ordered it interprets him as saying the place refuses to sell anything ''but'' boned pizza and gets upset.

* Parodied in ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' when President Koopa orders a pizza. "Hold the mammal."

A common use of this joke is with [[StockYuck/{{Anchovies}} pizza and anchovies]]: Characters will specifically ask for "no anchovies" as if failing to do so would inevitably cause them to appear on the pizza. Exactly ''why'' anchovies is hardly ever discussed, though most attribute it to the fact that anchovies are typically served whole, which is more jarring and {{squick}}-worthy in many people's eyes than the traditional method of serving separate cuts of fish meat. Onions are another (un)popular choice for use in this trope, especially when ordering sandwiches, largely owing to their distinctively sharp taste, stubborn aftertaste, and pungent smell, the latter of which translates poorly to one's breath following consumption (though they do tend to be a default ingredient of many sandwiches-- it depends on the restaurant, of course).

* Music/TheJGeilsBand's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XazaOWrnJ5o "No Anchovies, Please"]] is all about this. Well, sort of.
** Peter Wolf later plays this straight while nodding to the aforementioned bit on the "Love Rap" prelude to "Love Stinks" on their live album ''Showtime!'', depicting [[Literature/TheBible Adam]] as TheStoner in the Garden of Eden, craving a pizza with increasingly eccentric toppings...

* When Dante orders a pizza in ''Anime/DevilMayCryTheAnimatedSeries'', there's a running gag where he asks to hold the olives but keeps getting them anyway. Other installments of the franchise add anchovies as a no-no topping for him.
