This one can run three ways: Alice starts describing the recipient of an award/her thanks/etc., and Bob thinks he's the one about to be praised, only for Alice to finish by naming someone else entirely. Alice and Bob have just pulled off some sort of caper or big project, and Alice is congratulating herself on a job well done. Bob, wanting to be acknowledged, asks her if she isn't forgetting someone. Alice answers, "Of course, how could I forget Chris!" Alice wins an award and is thanking everyone she can think of, but leaves out Bob, who deserves thanking more than the others (or at least, he thinks so).

In When Darkness Falls, one storyline involves the journalist Carina who wins an award for one of her documentaries. Her husband Håkan was the cameraman and she forgets to mention him in her acceptance speech. Afterwards in the taxi, he calls her out on that and repeatedly insults her. Back at home, Håkan beats her up for this. | |

Good Luck Charlie: Bob wins an award and PJ shows him the video where he fails to thank his wife Amy, who is in the hospital. This leads him to re-staging the ceremony in his basement to take a new video. He gets found out of course, but since Amy has been faking her injury in order to get some alone time they agree to forget both. | |

On The Simpsons, the union contract stipulates that every worker must win the Worker of the Week award at least once; Homer figures he's a shoo-in this week since everyone else already got the award. The award goes to...an inanimate carbon rod. This spurs Homer to become an astronaut; when he's in space, Homer causes a chain of problems, which he eventually solves with... an inanimate carbon rod. The rod then gets its photo on the cover of Time magazine and its own ticker tape parade. | |

Arrested Development: Michael thinks he's going to be named president of the company, but it turns out to be his mother instead. Subverted as George Sr knew the federal trade commission was breathing down his neck and nominating Michael would have made him an accomplice to fraud. He named his wife instead on the idiotic advice of Barry Zuckercorn that supposedly you can't convict a husband and wife of the same crime. The Rosenbergs would disagree loudly if they hadn't both been executed for selling atomic intelligence to the soviets. |

Subverted in an episode of Scrubs, when JD and Turk were listing some of JD's old girlfriends in front of Elliot and Carla. Carla tries to remind them that he keeps skipping over Elliot, who is nearly in tears, but it turns out that he had already mentioned her. He just referred to her as "Mole-butt," which was a nickname referring to a mole that had actually been mentioned both before and after that episode. | |

Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines: In "Barnstormers," Zilly is written off as "a casualty of love" as the rest of the Vulture Squadron is taking off in a Bamboo Technology plane Klunk built. Zilly is running behind and offers Muttley his medal if he rescues him. Muttley runs over, plucks the medal and runs back to the fuselage. Zilly: "Hey, Muttley! Aren't you forgetting something?" It takes Muttley a moment or two to remember to pull Zilly in. | |

In My Fair Lady, after cockney flower girl Eliza has successfully passed for a lady at the ball, Pickering starts congratulating Higgins on his teaching skills. Higgins interrupts, "Now wait, now wait, give credit where it's due: part of the glory goes to you," and indicates Pickering, entirely ignoring poor Eliza. | |

In "Kiss Me Steph", the first episode of Degrassi Junior High, Steph gives credit for her winning the school president election to Joey rather than Voula, her best friend and campaign manager who has done most of the work. This causes a rift between her and Voula that lasts throughout the series. | |

Variation used on NCIS: There was some dispute about jurisdiction with local forces; the local sheriff agreed to cooperate fully in return for all credit. At the end, she's on TV and mentions that there's another group she'd like to thank, then thanks the citizens of her county for their support and bravery. | |

When it's stopped, the science fair trophy is split between Carl, Sheen, and Libby while Cindy unfairly gets nothing. However, Jimmy tries to assure her that good leadership is its own reward, only to have an ungrateful Cindy cover his head with a sweater. | |

Edmund Blackadder does this frequently in order to pointedly snub Baldrick or Percy. And also ends up on the wrong end of this, when he attempts to get Prince George to make him a lord. He makes Baldrick a lord instead. |

The Firefly episode "Jaynestown" features an exchange where one of Inara's clients briefly mentions a folk hero who pulled off a Robin Hood style robbery of the local magistrate and then dumped the money on the local poor, and Inara assumes he means Captain Mal. She goes on at length about his good and bad qualities, and is shocked when the client is impressed that she actually knows...Jayne Cobb. | |
