** In Nausius' first ode to Flavia:
--->'''Lurcio''': "Ode to Flavia". How sweet. "I love her face, that bosom fair, that skin without a ripple. But most of all, I love to lie, with my lips upon her left shoulder".
--->'''Nausius''': I can't think of a rhyme for "ripple".
--->'''Lurcio''': Well, he's the only one who can't.
** In Nausius' second ode to Flavia:
--->'''Lurcio''': "I hereby vow to do my all, to you, most beauteous Venus". ({{Beat}}) "All that I own, my heart and soul, and half a yard of gold brocade"?
--->'''Nausius''': Yes, yes, I know it doesn't rhyme, but it's for her wedding gown, you see.

* ''Film/BadGirlsFromMars'': There are several examples because the movie's killer is in the habit of leaving bad poems in the crime scenes, which are then read by the the other characters who always react with confusion at the last verse's failure to rhyme. Here's one example (read out loud by Emmanuelle):
-->"Regan was an asshole\\
So I killed him with aplomb\\
And all the rest will die\\
Unless they find my... ''explosive?!''"

{{Subverted Rhyme|EveryOccasion}}s in live-action movies.
----
* In ''Film/FiveHundredDaysOfSummer'', the main character Tom writes greeting cards. After he and Summer break up...
-->'''Tom's Boss:''' I'm a bit worried about you, Tom.\\
'''Tom:''' Oh? Why?\\
'''Tom's Boss:''' Well, your latest card reads: "Roses are red. Violets are blue. [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you,]] whore."
* The father in ''Film/CatchThatKid'' (a.k.a. ''Mission Without Permission'') uses subverted rhyme when starting go-kart races to ''tone down'' the language:
-->'''Tom''': Let's step on the gas and kick some...butt!
* In ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'', during the Cat's song about fun:
-->There was this cat I knew, back home where I was bred, \\
He never listened to a single thing his mother said, \\
He never used the litterbox, he made a mess in the hall, \\
That's why they sent him to a vet and they cut off his b- *pauses* ...bo...bo...bo...BOY!
** A second verse that was later cut from the film did the same thing.
* In the Creator/BrokenLizard movie ''Film/ClubDread'':
-->But from that point on, Phil Coletti was known as...Machete Phil!
* In ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', thinking he's terminally ill, a strippergram/prostitute dressed as a [[HelloNurse nurse]] is sent to his house, and greets him (actually his sister) with the rhyme:
-->I heard that you were feeling ill,\\
headache, fever, and a chill.\\
I came to help restore your pluck, \\
cause I'm the nurse who likes to...\\
(''the door is slammed in her face'')
** This was still too vulgar for network TV, and most showings have the door slam before the nurse says anything. Other airings show only the first two lines of her speech.
* ''Film/TheHotChick'' had a little rhyme that went like this:
-->Boys are cheats and liars, They're such a big disgrace\\
They will tell you anything to get to second...\\
Baseball, baseball, he thinks he's gonna score,\\
If you let him go all the way then you are a\\
Horticulturists study flowers, geologists study rocks,\\
All a guy wants from you is a place to put his\\
cockroaches, beetles, butterflies and bugs\\
Nothing makes him happier than a giant pair of\\
Jugglers and acrobats and a dancing bear named Chuck\\
All boys really want to do is\\
Fff...orget it no such luck
* Done randomly in ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'':
-->"We have a snoozaphone for your brother Stew, and a sousaphone for your brother Drew, a muncle for your uncle, a fant for your aunt, and a fampa...for your cousin Leon."
** Not to mention when the Grinch invokes it:
--->Why, for year after year\\
I've put up with it now!\\
I must stop this Christmas from coming...\\
But how? Er, I mean, in what way?
* During ''Film/KillBill Volume 1'', The Bride is [[DudeShesLikeInAComa molested whilst in a coma]] by an orderly named Buck, who likes to...well, you know. When this movie is played on syndicated television, the rhyming swear gets amusingly censored:
-->'''Buck:''' My name is Buck, and I'm here to... [[AC:PARTY!]]
* From ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings: The Return of the King'':
-->Pretty little fly\\
Why does it cry?\\
Caught in a web...\\
Soon will be ...''eaten''
* The song "Back in Time" from ''Film/MenInBlack3'' has a subversion of the subverted rhyme- "Give credit where credit is due don't cha. / Know that I don't give a number two."
* ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'': "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life":
-->Some things in life are bad, \\
They can really make you mad. \\
Other things just make you swear and curse. \\
When you're chewing on life's gristle, \\
Don't grumble; give a whistle, \\
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
* The soundtrack version of the song "Cabin Fever" from ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'' has an extra verse, which goes like this:
-->My sanity is hanging by a thread,\\
Since we're going nowhere, I've gone out of my head,\\
We were sailing, sailing, over the bounding main\\
'''Lew Zealand:''' ...And now we're not! Heh heh heh!
* ''Film/NachoLibre'':
-->I ate some bugs\\
I ate some grass\\
I use my hand\\
To wipe my tears
** Justified, considering his character is a Catholic monk.
* In ''Film/ThePrivateEyes'', the killer subverts a rhyme in each note to the detectives. For example:
-->If Jock could talk, he'd give you a clue.\\
But now that he's dead, what can you do?\\
He deserved what he got. I don't regret it a bit.\\
By the way, you're standing in bull ca-ca.
* Lampshaded in Matthew Patel's musical number in ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld''
-->Fireballs, Girls. Take this sucker down.\\
Let us show him what we're all about.\\
'''Scott:''' That doesn't even rhyme!
** Well, it's closer to a rhyme than the one Scott comes up with in the graphic novel during the same scene (for the record, the "fireballs" line ''is'' a rhyme in the graphic novel, by way of Matthew using "out" instead of "down"):
--->You think you're so great, but you're missing the point\\
You gotta have friendship and courage and whatever!\\
'''Matthew:''' That doesn't even rhyme!\\
'''Scott:''' Shut up!
* In the movie version of ''Film/TheSpiderwickChronicles'', Thimbletack speaks in rhyme when he is a brownie, but not a boggart:
-->You looked, and looked,\\
and found the book,\\
and from the chest\\
the thing was (transforms) STOLEN!
* In ''Film/{{Trick}}'', there is a song COMO TE GUSTA MI PINGA which begins thusly:
-->I told my friend the writer how happy I would be\\
If he'd write an opening number especially for me\\
But when he had it finished, it came as quite a shock\\
He handed me a song titled "How do you like my..."
* During the Weasel fight in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'':
-->'''Eddie''': I'm through with taking falls \\
And bouncing off the walls \\
Without that gun\\
I'd have some fun\\
I'd kick you in the...([[CurseCutShort vase falls on his head]]) \\
'''Roger''': Nose! \\
'''Smartass Weasel''': "Nose"? That don't rhyme with "walls"! \\
'''Eddie''': No, but ''[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar this does!]]'' ([[GroinAttack kicks Smarty in the "balls".]])
