Line 56:
* ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'' features Paint Drying as a spectator sport, albeit one that is extremely boring. Kaz seems to enjoy it though. In "Chow Down" he is still amazed how the underdog "Orange" won the title, while in "Disco Capers" the following season, [[Negative Continuity|he berates Ami and Yumi for doing nothing other than literally watching paint dry]] and in a slight subversion recounts the fun of a Seventies disco with a convenient time machine.
* Literal example: both ''[[Quack Pack]]'' and ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' had the main characters channel surfing, and one of the TV shows is about watching paint dry.
* Billy, of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* On ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', Garfield compares visiting Jon's cousin to watching paint dry. Sure enough, Jon's cousin makes Jon watch boring slides mostly of his wife waving while on vacation.
* In the U.K. ''[[Dennis the Menace UK|Dennis the Menace]]'' cartoon, Dennis' granny jokes that before TV was invented, they all sat around waiting for TV to be invented. Her actual youth activities however (reading, hunting dodos and listening to the wireless) are little better, as far as the main character is concerned.
