** [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in "Brian's Hat." The sketch takes place in a courtroom where a lawyer aims to prove two people at a major company participated in insider trading. The lawyer reads text messages from the two setting it up, but then reveals that a good portion of their conversation was about Brian and his titular hat, which isn't related to the case at all. The first part of the next texts, though, outright ''states'' that the trading took place, and the guilty party readily admits it, so the lawyer has finished her job. She then proceeds to go through the rest of the increasingly-bizarre conversation about the hat and how Brian made a fool of himself in a meeting while wearing it. The prosecutor finally asks about what relevance the hat conversation has, and the lawyer announces that a dollar sign emoji was added to the last text--even though it wasn't necessary because the actual criminal charges were confirmed five minutes ago.
