* In ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'' the heroes ask this question of the small group of surviving inmates they encounter at the zombie-infested prison and are are told armed robbery, tax fraud, drugs, and murder. It's probably not hard to pick out which one of these is eventually, horribly, revealed to be a bald-faced lie.

* In the ''StarTrekEnterprise'' episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence" Lieutenant Reed keeps getting into awkward conversations due to getting caught running a black op for Section 31 and being thrown in the brig for it. Since everyone is busy dealing with the Klingons, both he and Captain Archer have no time to explain why he's in the brig to anyone... except when one of the Klingons who attacked the Enterprise gets tossed into the cell next to him. When Reed replies to his inquiry on why he's in the brig with "[[ItsalongStory That's a long story]]," the Klingon prisoner in turn replies "Entertain me." Reed then manages to give him a minimal-details summary in one line.
