I keep thinking of a scene from Parks and Recreation when Chris Pratt’s character Andy, acting in his on-screen children’s entertainer persona “Johnny Karate,” is presented with an honorary police badge as a consolation of sorts for his earlier failed attempt to enroll in the police academy.
Upon receiving the honor he says something like “I can’t believe it! I’m finally a real cop!” and smashes open the display case to grab the badge as the presenting officer tries to clarify that no he is absolutely not a real cop.
