- Washington's health clubs serve the gamut of American yupppiedom, from torture chambers of grunting macho macho men, to Seinfeldish singles scenes, to high-tech palaces for political trophy wives and their over-the-Hill hubbies.

- In TV the winks range from the casual and occasional (network newswomen appearing as themselves on Murphy Brown) to the deadpan crypto-real (on Seinfeld, comedian Jerry Seinfeld plays a comedian named Jerry, and in one episode he makes a Seinfeldish TV pilot) to the relentlessly ironic (David Letterman satirizing his program, his genre, the entire medium).
