Line 131:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' Did It. Bart has actually abused so many babysitters that the family is effectively blacklisted by every one in Springfield (and one who is convinced to come back has post-traumatic flashbacks on seeing Bart and runs away screaming).
* An incredibly weird variation occurs in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. The girls are given a random babysitter who, by chance, is their [[Arch Nemesis]] Mojo Jojo. The girls are deliberately the worst kids ever, even at one point getting Mojo run over by a car, and ultimately driving him completely insane.
* ''[[The Smurfs]]'':
 
** This happened to Peewit in spades in one episode. While the king had to discuss a very delicate peace treaty with another king, Peewit got stuck watching the visiting king's [[Royal Brat]] of a son. But it got worse. The young prince started messing around with Peewit's alchemy equipment, and [[Alchemy Is Magic|turned himself into a chicken]]. Then it [[From Bad to Worse|got even worse]]; before Peewit could change him back, he ran away, and got caught by the ogre Bigmouth, who was in the mood for chicken soup. Peewit had to get some help from his Smurf friends to outsmart the ogre into letting the prince go, and fortunately, in the end, the prince's dad took his son's claims for an overactive imagination.
** A late-season episode has the Smurflings volunteer to look after Bigmouth's infant son, which they soon regret, as looking after a baby ogre (who clearly inherited his dad's huge appetite) is difficult and exhausting, even when the other Smurfs help, not to mention a drain on their supply of smurfberry juice. Bigmouth's warning that he'd be ''very angry'' if anything bad happens doesn't make it easier.
