Line 41:
** The orchestra playing dramatic music ascending into Kitchen Stadium with Masahiko Kobe in every battle he's in.
** When boxing commentator and self-admitted non-cook Kenji Fukui was first asked to commentate, he couldn't understand why they'd need him for a cooking show, or what he'd say. "The knife goes up! The knife goes down!" However, once on set he quickly realized that the frenetic action together with his frequent need to ask Yukio Hattori what the chefs were doing gave him the material he needed to keep the show going.
* Pick an NBC reality show. The word "is" is... * 20 seconds later* ...contractually obligated to have a pause that is... * we'll be right back* ...* after commercials* ...longer than the show itself. Most could, in fact, be comfortably edited to run in a half-hour [[Time Slot]] instead of an hour... if the network were willing to give up the extra [[
* Most reality TV in general. It's actually about people cooking, or living an even more empty and meaningless life than most in a house, or whose aspiration is to get to wear clothes for a living. Just putting many of those concepts on television in the first place constitutes this trope, and they don't shy away from more traditional forms of it either.
* Parodied in the ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' game "Improbable Mission," which puts an everyday task to ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' drama standards and plays it for laughs.
Line 145:
* Some of the characters in ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'' played paintball in one episode. Dennis had a temporary falling out with Jack (who was on his team) after accidentally shooting him, only to redeem himself later by saving Jack from the blast of shaken up soda can as if it were a grenade, ruining his shirt and making him unable to attend a party. The scene played out as if Dennis were a soldier dying in Jack's arms.
