An intoxicated character is interacting with a police officer, generally as a result of a traffic stop. They are clearly impaired, but are trying to act as if they aren't. Expect an Alcohol Hic or two. Almost always leads to Hypocritical Humor, Implausible Deniability, Blatant Lies, and/or I Resemble That Remark! Needless to say, often times it is Truth in Television. (As such, it can evoke reactions of "Dude, Not Funny!", as Drunk Driving is a pretty serious problem in real life.) See Spoonerism for the swapping of syllables without necessarily being drunk. |

In Super Troopers, some state troopers pull over some kids. The kids had to get rid of the drugs, so one of them eats all their weed before they throw out what was left. The troopers notice this, and play mind games to screw with the stoners before the arrest. (And after.) | |

Several Chappelle's Show skits show various reactions to this. In one instance, the stoned driver convinced the cop to smoke his weed, and then sped off. | |

In North by Northwest, Roger Thornhill is force-fed a quart of bourbon and put behind the wheel of a car on a cliffside road to kill himself. He manages to escape his foes, but gets caught by the police. At the station, Roger absolutely admits that he's drunk, but can't get them to believe the circumstances under which he got drunk. | |

One episode of The Likely Lads had Bob get caught drunk driving (this was the 1970s when it wasn't seen as such a social sin), the trope was played with in that he managed to bluff his way through talking to the policeman but then when he went to get back in the car he opened the rear door and sat down in the back seat and tried to use the driver's seat as a steering wheel. | |

The Simpsons: In the season four episode "Duffless," Barney and Homer drive home drunk from a tour of the Duff Brewery. Their car gets pulled over and Homer is forced out the car and made to balance on one foot, touch his nose, and sing "The ABC Song" (with the ending "...won't you come and play with me?" instead of "Tell me what you think of me?" which was also acceptable). Homer does a good job... Until Barney asked Eddie and Lou to use the Breathalyzer. Homer gets arrested, while Barney gets away scot-free — and ends up knocking Chief Wiggum (in a beer stein costume) down a hill, where he merrily rolls until he hits a tree and blows up. | |

Played with in Beavis And Butthead episode "Buy Beer". The boys watch a television commercial for a non-alcoholic beer, which states you don't have to be 21 to buy it (because you can't get drunk on it, which the commercial also repeatedly says). After procuring it they are completely convinced they are getting drunk on it (and are acting drunk) until a passing police officer tries (unsuccessfully) to get them to do some sobriety tests. Then he notices the beer is non-alcoholic, at which point he concludes “You’re not drunk. You’re just stupid!” | |

Happens several times in Reno 911! In one notable instance, the stoned occupants of the vehicle are seen throwing bongs, bags of weed and even entire marijuana plants out the windows while the cop isn't looking. | |

This was actually quoted on an episode of Jem, believe it or not, in "The Rock Fashion Book" when Clash was causing trouble for Jem and The Holograms on the set of a photo shoot. Upon being caught by a security guard, she actually said "Sorry, occifer!" and ran away. The only thing that separates her from the other examples was the fact that she wasn't drunk when she said it. | |

Lackadaisy: Zib starts trying to come up with an excuse for why he's laying across the sidewalk with a hip flask in hand, then gives up after stumbling on his words, downs the contents of the hip flask and mouths off to the officer instead. He is next seen beaten and in a jail cell, mumbling that if you're going to get arrested the least you can do is make sure you deserve it. | |

In The Boondocks episode Mr. Medicinal, Grandad is high on marijuana, when he is pulled over by an officer, Officer Douche. While cracking up, he tries to pronounce it Officer Douché (doo-SHAY) while faking innocence to win over the cop. The officer corrects him that it is indeed Douche, before eventually arresting him. | |
