** Likewise, an eerily similar phrase has gone {{memetic|Mutation}} after Obi-Wan Kenobi said it in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', apparently without realizing the irony: "Only a Sith deals in absolutes."

* A Tostitos ad had featured several former NFL players like Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Emmett Smith, and Randy Moss, [[BackInTheSaddle un-retiring to play in the NFL again with hilarious results]]. The ad ends with Creator/TomBrady watching them play on TV and saying "Un-retiring? Who would be dumb enough to do that?", a nod to how after the 2021-22 season, [[TenMinuteRetirement Brady announced his retirement from the NFL only to backtrack several weeks later and play one more season before retiring for good after that]].

* The central joke of Shooty and Bang-Bang, the SpacePolice in ''Radio/TheHitchHikersGuideOfTheGalaxy1978'' is that they keep insisting that they are not the kind of {{Rabid Cop}}s who are into gratuitously shooting people and mindless violence ... while gratuitiously shooting at the main cast, and saying if they surrender they'll be beaten up, but only a little. And if they ''don't'' surrender, the cops will, regretfully, blow up the entire planet and maybe a couple of others.

* ''Website/TheOnion'': A recurring aspect of the humor in the mock political cartoons is that Stan Kelly, their fictional author, will happily switch sides on any given argument again and again based on his myopic focus and whether or not things inconvencience him personally. For instance, he will routinely lambast "today's teens" for their various immoral and lecherous habits in contrast to wholesome, all-American children, and then criticize them just as harshly for being teetotallers instead of honoring the American tradition of drinking like fish, since he's a habitual drunkard and doesn't like it when people do anything differently from him. Whether or not he praises or demonizes cops also depends primarily on whether or not he's recently gotten pulled over for drunk driving.
