* When Professor Farnsworth shows Fry and the gang his place:
{{quote|'''Farnsworth:''' And here's my workbench, and over there is my intergalactic spaceship, and here's where I keep my many lengths of wire.}}
* Also:
{{quote|'''Police officer:''' "You're under arrest for child cruelty, child endangerment, depriving children of food, selling children ''as'' food and misrepresenting the weight of livestock."}}
:* [[Call Back|Of course, earlier in the episode we see Bender weighing a child and relating the information to a Chinese restaurant owner]].
* While Farnsworth is listing off a bunch of secrets about his colleagues, he implies that they are guilty of manslaughter, starting a "Pool Boys Studies" class just to sleep with the students, and wearing a [[Dodgy Toupee]]. And then there's what [[Inherently Funny Words|Ogden]] [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|Wernstrom]] did:
{{quote|'''Farnsworth:''' [[And Zoidberg|And Wernstrom]]! [[Say My Name|Werrrrrnstrom!]]}}
* Describing the were-car, Calculon explains that it was made from parts of all of history's most evil cars, including parts of Hitler's car, Charles Manson's Volkswagen, and "that car that played ''[[Knight Rider]]''".
{{quote|'''Fry:''' [[I Am Not Shazam|Knight Rider]] wasn't evil.
'''Calculon:''' Its windshield wipers were. It didn't come up in the show. }}

* In "Graveyard shift, when Squidward tells the story of the Hash-Slinging Slasher, who accidentally cut off his own hand:
{{quote|'''Squidward:''' And he replaced his hand with a rusty spatula. And then, he got hit by a bus! And... at his funeral, [[Fridge Logic|they fired him]]!}}
* There was also the scene where the Flying Dutchman, trying to be scary again, haunts Squidward with a series of freakish nightmares, including his own mother asking why he hasn't called her and then melting, and a giant SpongeBob dissolving into a pile of spiders. The scene ends with the Flying Dutchman doing the old severed finger magic trick, to which Squidward screams "No! Noooo! That's impossible!" and runs away terrified.
* In "No Free Rides", Mrs. Puff steals SpongeBob's newly-gifted boatmobile, and they go through three road signs. One said "Giant Clams", but SpongeBob went through it anyway. The next one said "Cheese Graters", and he survived through the giant cheese graters. But he seemingly gave up once they reached ...
{{quote|'''SpongeBob:''' "[[Faux Horrific|Educational television]]?!" [[Big No|OH, NO!!!]]}}
* In "Once Bitten", a concerned Squidward, after having just been bitten by Gary, asks SpongeBob whether Gary had all of his shots in order. The shots he lists are "rabies, snailpox, soft shell dance, bagitis, lumpy bump trump, and teen angst".
* In ''Sandy, Spongebob, and the Worm'', SpongeBob describes the Alaskan Bull Worm as "Big, Scary, and Pink."
* In "Life of Crime", after Spongebob and Patrick pop a balloon they [[Insistent Terminology|"borrowed"]]:
{{quote|'''Patrick:''' Confess!? Are you out of your mind!? Do you have any idea what they do to people like us? We’re not talking about some dumb mail fraud scheme or a hijacking here! WE STOLE A BALLOON! And they're gonna lock us up forever!}}
== Other Examples ==
* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]/[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' crossover, Billy's dad Harold says his lucky pants are immune to lasers, supernatural energy, and mustard.
* In an episode of the ''New [[Woody Woodpecker]] Show'', Woody's car stalls near a conveniently placed bowling alley in the desert, run by none other than Buzz Buzzard, who offers a prize to who can beat him. Of course, being Buzz Buzzard who he is, he rigs the match completely so that he'll end up winning with a 300 score to keep with his reputation as "Champion" of the place. Turns out that, after he flees, Woody finds out his long list of offenses to the law, which includes "unlawful toenail clipping". But there's more: upon seeing this, he immediately calls the police on the phone and starts listing his offenses, to which the cop pays no mind whatsoever. Only when he mentions: "but Officer, he parked in a no-parking zone!" do the cops decide to flock in on him and arrest him (he was trying to escape [[What an Idiot!|in Woody's ''stalled car'']]).
* An episode of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has Robin and Cyborg getting angry and insulting each other. Cyborg's is: "You're rude, bossy, and you have no taste in music!"
** There's also Killer Moth's ultimatum to the city, which is that he'll unleash his army of mutant moth monsters if they don't declare him ruler, and the Teen Titans surrender. And Robin takes this lovely young woman (his extremely spoiled daughter) to the prom.
** While phrased in a humorous manner, [[Amusing Alien|Starfire]]'s first three reasons for why she feels left out when her sister visits are understandable.
{{quote|I am happy to see her, but Blackfire rules the video games, and she is able to share very depressing poems, and she knows the cool moves, and she always knows when people are not talking about shovels.}}
* Of course, ''[[Family Guy]]'' had to get in on the action, too. In the season one episode where Meg inadvertently joins a cult the same day Lois tries to have a birthday party for Stewie, the girl mixing the punch mixes in cyanide, arsenic, rat poison, and a copy of Paul Reiser's book ''Couplehood''.
:* Peter bemoaning the sudden popularity of Joe:
{{quote|'''Peter:''' Geez, first he takes my friends, then he takes my job! [stops] But [[George Gershwin|the way I wear my hat? No, he can't take that from me...]]}}
:* When Brian prevents 9/11 from happening, Stewie fears that Sadam Hussein could be president, Mexico could be the world's dominant super power, or that [[Sesame Street|Cookie Monster]] could have invented [[Facebook]].
* Coop of ''[[Megas XLR]]'' was fond of this method. [[Once an Episode]], he'd confront the [[Monster of the Week]], and deliver a long monologue with the format of the quote given below. Often things were included in the list that weren't the villain's fault, which were usually also things Coop himself had done.
{{quote|'''Coop:''' All right you intergalactic snots! You busted up my car show!
'''Jamie:''' Yeah!
'''Coop:''' You wrecked my friends' rides!
'''Jamie:''' Yeah!
'''Coop:''' AND! You made me run half a block!
'''Jamie:''' Ye... half a block?
'''Coop:''' Now, it's payback time! }}
{{quote|
'''Space Bigfoot:''' Ahem.
'''Coop:''' Oh, right, and you also tried to carve up the planet of the Space Bigfoots. }}

* ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'':
** In one episode, the main characters are in Egypt observing an archeological expedition in the Great Pyramid of Giza for Brain's latest scheme. Suddenly, a creepy Egyptian guy walks in on the archeologists:
{{quote|'''Egyptian Guy''': Beware! Beware ignorant fools! To open the sacred burial chamber of Khufu is to invite a plague of misery upon humanity: fire shall rain down from the sky, locusts shall devour crops, the Olsen Twins... ''[[Faux Horrific|will make more movies]]''.

* In ''[[Ice Age]]: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'', [[Crazy Survivalist|Buck]] lists off the rules if the [[True Companions|heroes]] want him to help them: "Rule 1: Do whatever Buck says. Rule 2: Stay on the middle of the track... Rule 3... He who has gas walks at the back."
* The ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' episode "Bus the Two of Us" is about Bloo taking Mac for a joyride in the Foster's bus without Frankie's knowledge. They try to make it back as fast as possible without Frankie finding out. Needless to say, [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity, and, this being Bloo, major lawbreaking, ensue.]] Unfortunately, Frankie sees the multiple police cars that followed them home. Over the end credits, she delivers her fury unto him with the following [[List of Transgressions|list of all the crimes]] he committed in the day:
{{quote|"Driving without a license, lying on a job application, destruction of private property, destruction of PUBLIC property, illegal use of [[Nausea Fuel|toilet plungers,]] AND calling me a [[Hollywood Pudgy|heifer!]] I mean, '''HONESTLY''', Bloo, what do you have to say for yourself?!}}
* On one episode of ''[[Total Drama Island]]'', a monsoon hits Wawanakwa, and the inevitable flood washes the campers away. Owen, who's been in the confessional outhouse, finds said outhouse floating in the lake and delivers this gem:

And then, it will call you names."

* In one ''[[Dudley Do-Right]]'' episode, the eponymous character tries to get kicked out of the Mounted Police so that he can [[Fake Defector|infiltrate Snidley Whiplash's gang]], but everything goes wrong, from "You blew up the dam! The irrigation problem has been solved!" to "You burned down that building! We had been trying to tear it down for years and never got around to it!". He finally does manage to get in trouble, though... {{spoiler|by eating his peas with a knife}}, something no Mountie should ever do!
*''[[South Park]]'': This trope is probably why "and she has stupid hair" is one of the funniest lines in the "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch" song.
** In "Freak Strike," Cartman in his out-of-control persona claims to belong to twelve gangs that only commit hate crimes; to have run for Congress, won, then had sex with an intern, killed her, and hid the body; and to have digitally edited Jabba the Hutt into ''[[Star Wars]]''.

:* In “Reverse Cowgirl”, the security guy watches the cameras of people’s bathroom as they go in their toilets.
