* ''[[The A-Team]]'': Murdock and Hannibal escape a prison by filling plastic bags with helium.

'''Murdock:''' I don't know: I have intermittent memory loss! [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|*floats away cackling*]] }}

* On ''[[Fraggle Rock]]'', Wembly uses a bunch of balloons tied to a basket to return a bird to the Gorgs' Garden in one episoide.

* Happens once in ''[[Beethoven the Animated Series]]'': Mr.Huggs floats off when a bully ties balloons to him.

* Subverted in ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Lost Our Lisa". Homer buys a bunch of balloons, says "I hope this works"...and then trades them to a cherry pick operator.

** In another ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode, Homer tries to patrol the Springfield border from a lawnchair on balloons, but as soon as he sits down the chair collapses. Lenny and Carl get on instead, and are instantly propelled into the stratosphere (where the ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]'' house is seen in the distance).

** In a first-season episode, a ''single'' balloon is enough to lift Maggie about six inches off the floor.
