* In ''Series/RedDwarf'' a depressed Lister, who has recently lost his right arm, challenges the others to name someone who lost an arm and went on to lead a normal life. They readily give an answer – UsefulNotes/HoratioNelson – but then Lister says "Name ''five''." The other answers they end up giving are much less convincing: the Art/VenusDeMilo (a statue), Creator/VincentVanGogh (despite Lister pointing out he had one ''ear''), "that one-armed guy from ''Series/TheFugitive''" (a murderer), and Lister himself.

* LBC presenter James O'Brien, a fierce critic of Brexit, often receives calls from pro-Brexit individuals who are, putting it mildly, coming unarmed to a battle of wits. They will often complain about the supposed many instances of Corruption within the EU, or mention the notion that soon Britain will be free of onerous EU rules, to which this trope is O'Brien's inevitable response. After which, typically, no onerous rules are cited, no instances of corruption are recalled, and the caller tries to plough on regardless, only to be hauled up short with a repeat of the demand to name ''one single instance'' of the thing they are complaining about. But can one single example of this be provided?

* Variation: in ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction]]'', Washington asks the Red and Blue teams to name just one thing that ever happened to them that wasn't preceded by a call to command, or getting a new team member or piece of equipment. The difference here is that no one says anything, because nothing ever ''did'' happen.
