Line 87:
** ''[[King of the Hill]]'' did it with Hank getting raped by the dolphin at the La Grunta resort.
** It's worth noting that the Dolfury from ''[[Mortasheen]]'' is almost definitely ''not'' a case of this. The setting and monsters are created by a biology enthusiast fascinated with the so-called "dark side" of nature, and who often seems to hold "cutesy critters" like dolphins in open contempt. The chances that he ''didn't'' know that making his dolphin-derived monsters violent sadists who are popularly (and not necessarily incorrectly) regarded as one of the only monsters that are genuinely evil was [[Truth in Television]] to some degree closely approaches zero.
* The ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "The Cyber House Rules" features the line, "This jigsaw of a pacifier factory makes me want to have children with you even more." Originally the line was "This jigsaw of a barn makes me want to have children with you even more." By coincidence, the Swedish word for children is ''barn'', a cognate of the archaic English "bairn" when means "children". "Bairn" is etymologically related to "born".{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}
* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'': It's [[Common Knowledge]] that diamond is overall the hardest natural substance on earth; what only a relatively small handful of people know, however, is that for all that durability, diamond is astonishingly brittle. It is, in fact, not only possible, but surprisingly easy to take a hammer and chisel to a large chunk of the stone for the purposes of breaking off smaller fragments suitable for either jewelery or industrial purposes. So when Jimmy baited a T-Rex into slamming headlong into an enormous stone to get a smaller one suitable for his jury-rigged time travel remote, in the episode ''Sorry, Wrong Era''? Not only is that possible, but completely and utterly plausible; the show uses unabashedly wrong and fictional science just because it coasts along on both [[Rule of Cool]] and [[Rule of Funny]], so chances are good that the writers behind the show didn't do their homework this time either.
* ''[[South Park]]'' did an episode with a character called Sexual Harassment Panda that satirized how difficult subjects are often presented to children in a sugar-coated manner. Turns out [https://web.archive.org/web/20160310141956/http://deltadentalnj.com/company/panda.shtml there is a program called P.A.N.D.A.] that deals with a topic like that.
