* Creator/NormMacdonald had a joke on Saturday Night Live that crosses the line three times: “ Who are safer drivers? Men or women? Well, according to a new survey, 55% of adults feel that women are most responsible for minor fenderbenders, while 78% blame men for most fatal crashes. Please note that the percentages in these pie graphs do not add up to 100% because the math was done by a woman. For those of you hissing at that joke, it should be uh noted that that joke was written by a woman. So, now you don't know what the hell to do, do ya? Nah, I'm just kidding. We don't hire women.“

* ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}'' has one that gleefully speeds across the line on a motorcycle when, during their ColdOpen back and forth, Creator/{{Greg|Davies}} and Creator/{{Alex|Horne}} are voicing each other:

** And another time when the contestants are tasked with hiding from Alex. He reaches into a closet to move some clothes, and accidentally ''[[ThanksForTheMammary grabbed Mel Giedroyc's breast]]''. While the two of them were clearly uncomfortable about it when it happened, by the time the on-stage segment happened Mel decided to do a backflip over the line by accusing Alex's hands of covering quite a bit more surface area...
---> '''Mel:''' There was a drive-by. Both of them. And possibly in the Pennyfield area as well. It was fine! You saw there was a little bit of awkwardness.

* [[https://bigassfans.com/ Big Ass Fans]] sounds like a rather sassy name for a company that makes industrial-sized fans. Their original name, ''HVLS Fan Company'' ("High Volume, Low Speed") was just as mundane as their products. Prospective customers kept asking if they were "the company that sold those ''big ass fans''", and so the company was officially renamed accordingly.

The funny part is that the kid is initially depicted as a DrillSergeantNasty clearly matching or surpassing Creator/RLeeErmey in [[LargeHam sheer hamminess]] as he barks childish orders throughout the day.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': The death montage of the Supers who died [[CapeSnag thanks to their capes]]. Normally, the means of death (including getting ''sucked into a jet turbine and crushed by an elevator'') would be horrifying. But the rapid fire way that Edna Mode lists them, as well as the fact that they all died to something as trivial as a ''cape'' turns it back into a hilarious moment.
