Line 35:
* ''[[Help!]]'' - the Eastern death cult tails Ringo in a "Yippee! It's Mister Whippy!" ice-cream van. As thugs exit from the truck, one is eating a cone.
* A Mister Whippy van also appears in ''[[28 Weeks Later]]''. The trope is teasingly hinted at and then averted.
* Skids and Mudflap of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' take this trope one step further, as they actually ''are'' the ice cream truck ([[Combining Mecha|both of them]]). This doesn't stop them from being decidedly child-unfriendly, from yelling profanity-laced death threats through their bullhorn to posting offensive decals on their sides.<ref>i.e. ''SUCK MY POPSICLE''</ref>
* There's one in ''[[Legion]]''. {{spoiler|The truck's completely normal. The driver however...}}
* Dr. Claw's henchmen Brick and McKible drive an ice-cream delivery truck in ''[[Inspector Gadget]] 2.'' Oddly enough, its trunk is large enough to accommodate Claw's escape jet.
Line 112:
* In an episode of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'', the ice cream truck driver has a grudge against Dexter because he once paid him with a heavy jar of pennies which caused him [[Disaster Dominoes|to trip and break his tooth]] which in turn made him lose his apartment, his car, his girlfriend and forced him to live under a bridge, effectively causing [[Diabolus Ex Machina|his entire life to be ruined]]; and thus refuses to stop for him.

* ''[[Moral Orel]]'' has [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Mr. Creepler]], a pedophile and serial rapist. Fortunately by the third season he's been put through the Electric Chair, though he's left some lasting trauma on one of his victims. Sadly, he's only one of the several [[Complete Monster
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' had an ice cream man named "The Jolly Olly Man" (voiced by [[The Simpsons|Dan Castellaneta]], using a voice that sounds like a mix between his normal voice and a bitter, insane take on Arnie Pie [the helicopter news reporter who hates Kent Brockman]) who hated kids and in one episode was on the verge of getting fired because his attitude was hurting sales. In another episode, he tried charging kids $20 for ice cream during a heat wave.
* ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' had an entire organization of ice cream men that were keeping all the ice cream for the adults.
