* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]/[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' crossover, Billy's Daddad 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 ]]''[[What an Idiot!|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. }}
* It happens frequently in ''[[Futurama]]'' as well, 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. }}
**::* Funnier in the Italian version, where [[The Love Bug]] was used in place of Knight Rider.
{{quote|'''Fry:''' "It was ''[[Market-Based Title|"The All-crazed Beetle"]]'', but it wasn't ''psychotic!''"}}
*:* From the ending of the"The Farnsworth Parabox":
{{quote|'''Farnsworth:''' Everything that was, is, and ever will be is contained within this box, and the actual box is probably worth something as well.}}
*:* In The Silence of the Clamps, when Bender and the Donbot's daughter Bella witness Clamps maul Calculon after being intimate:
{{quote|'''Bella''': Yeah, Daddy hates welchers. The only thing he hates more is witnesses.
'''[Bender looks horrified.]'''
Line 29:
'''Bella''':...and people who attempt to duplicate his meatball recipe.
'''[Bender opens his chest cabinet and takes out a pan of steaming hot meatballs and looks even more horrified.]'''" }}
*:* Lrrr to Zapp Brannigan in "The Problem with Popplers":
{{quote|'''Lrrr''': "Stop eating our young! And it's pronounced guacamole!"}}
* And ofOf course, ''[[Family Guy]]'' had to get in on the action, too.

*:* Peter bemoaning the sudden popularity of Joe:

*:* 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.
