* Lampshaded in the ''Animaniacs'' episode "Bully for Slappy." After being warned to tone down the level of violence in her cartoons by the US government, Slappy Squirrel spends the rest of the episode building a strange machine while Skippy deals with [[The Bully|a school bully]]. Once the machine is finished, Slappy feeds the bully AND a senator into the machine, explaining that this machine helps eliminate the viewing of violence on screen, by allowing all the violence to happen OFF screen. |

* ''[[Transformers Rescue Bots]]'' features one of these when the titular Bots finally manage to confront the [[Evil Counterpart|MorBot]] in combat at the end of "The Reign of Morocco". It may double as a robotic form of [[Gory Discretion Shot]], as the resulting rain of robot parts implies that what they did was rather brutal. |
