Bob is attempting to do something—practice their golf swing, open a box, crack a safe—and a passerby gives him some advice. "You gotta twist it!" It's someone that Bob hasn't seen before and won't see again, just a friendly person with some expertise in the matter, whisking into and out of the plot with barely a trace. | |

Minamoto-kun Monogatari: The "love master" advises Terumi that he's aiming too high for beautiful women right off the bat. He should try to focus on "plain" girls first and build his experience from there. By focusing totally on the girl and making her feel like she was good enough to be talked to, she will then give the guy her undivided attention. | |

Rick and Morty parodies this with "Meeseeks," goofy blue humanoids that can be summoned to provide advice or assistance, vanishing as soon as their task is completed. If the task is too difficult or complex, things can get ugly, because Meeseeks can't handle existing for too long. | |

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Peeves is allowed to cause chaos in the school with impunity since the other teachers enjoy watching Umbridge suffer. At one point he is trying to drop a large and dangerous chandelier, and Harry could swear he heard a passing Professor McGonagall mutter "it unscrews the other way." | |

On American Dad! Stan is the adviser during a flashback—as a teenager he gatecrashed a popular kid's party and was chased around the house as they tried to get rid of him. He escapes out a window and crashes right next to two popular girls, one of whom is crying and saying "I don't know what to do!" Stan immediately tells her to "Keep it, life begins at conception!" before sprinting away. | |

Ben in Leaving Las Vegas storms away from the food court while Sera calls after him to stay. A passerby tells him he ought to stay, and does so in such a way that it seems he has some sort of plot significance. He doesn't. | |

On Family Guy, Meg is continually trying to attract her hunky new neighbor, Kevin, throughout his first appearance, however, he seems completely disinterested. Eventually a police officer (long story) suggests that she stop talking about herself and ask something about him. Meg asks Kevin what kind of music he likes and he immediately becomes a chatterbox. | |

Nickelback: Not really "random", but while they were arranging "How You Remind Me", Ryan brought up the idea of the musical stops in the choruses. They played it a few times that way but still felt it was missing something, at which point Daniel's drum tech said "You should do a really big stop at the last chorus". They tried it, loved the effect it had on the song, and gave him a $50,000 bonus on the spot. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: After Lt. Barclay gained (and later lost) huge amounts of knowledge, as he's talking with Counselor Troi they pass by a chess game. He moves one piece and says "checkmate in nine moves." In the Grand Finale, Picard is in the past, on the first voyage of the Enterprise-D. He demands something of the engineering crew, and O'Brien says that they'll have to "burn the midnight oil." Data happens to be passing by and mentions that it would not be advisable to do so. |
