The Dick Van Dyke Show employs Rashomon-style storytelling, where the same event is presented through multiple conflicting perspectives, as demonstrated in Season 2, Episode 8 'The Night the Roof Fell In,' where Rob and Laura each retell the same argument with wildly different, biased versions of events, revealing how perspective shapes memory and comedy.
