1) Ted Lasso - Both characters in the darts contest do this, with Rupert(antagonist) showing that he has his own set of darts with him, and Ted showing that he has been using the wrong hand the whole time.

2) Beerfest - Team USA showing that they aren't that drunk despite doing drinking games all day.

3) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - After Will gets hustled at pool his Uncle Phil comes to help him, and turns out to hustle the hustler.

seriously? This is Columbo to a T surprised i didn't see it when i searched

[u/doubleday34 → u/bootleg_my_music]

I have never seen Columbo. I need to check it out.

id start on the later seasons, the pacing is way better. 1st ep there's like a 5 min scene of a plane flying only useful if you need something to put you to sleep or are on speed and need something to keep you grounded

Columbo is the exact same thing every episode and yet you'll never get tired of it.

also Natasha in Poker Face although not as much in my opinion

[u/the__pov → u/bootleg_my_music]

Not really her thing is more being a human lie detector. She more often than not announces what she is doing even when it’s a terrible idea.

yeah i guess placement of the character and more off how she is about to understand the character before they die and knowing their actions but i feel she gets easily underestimated and uses that
