I don't know what to do, Sis! What? I've never called you "Sis" before? You're right! It is oddly clunky and expositional. I mean, I know you're my sister, so who am I saying it for?
— Francine, American Dad!
"I'm late. Did I miss any exposition?"
— Anya, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Family"
"Exposition, exposition, rush it out ASAP."
— The Nostalgia Critic and Casper

—Daimon Kiyota, The Secret World
"I don't have to explain how important this is, Proton," said the President of Earth, "but I'm going to anyway for reasons of exposition."
"I have got a grip of the essential facts of the case. I shall enumerate them to you, for nothing clears up a case so much as stating it to another person, and I can hardly expect your co-operation if I do not show you the position from which we start."
—Sherlock Holmes to The Watson, Silver Blaze
