Guy 1: Can you enhance that grainy camera picture so I can make out that license plate so I can read it? Even though the license plate is just two pixels in the original recording?

Guy 2: Sure. I'll just use this wondertech to... ah, there you go. One click did it.

You can just say "zoom in, enhance" and everyone knows what you mean. It became such a meme that I think shows lean into it.

I think I've seen one show where it was phrased "is this all the resolution we have?"

I've had a good moment with a german crime show where the tech guy just said "Nope, not possible."

A cool subversion of this one might be to zoom out, rather than in. That viewing the image close up reveals a useless jumble of pixels but zooming out reveals an image. Or they've been focusing on the center of frame so narrowly that a detail at the edge of shot goes missed for awhile. So many toys to play with!
