* ''[[ICarly]]'' and ''[[Victorious]] each aired an ''April Fools'' episode back to back. Both were utterly nonsensical episodes. Nothing made sense, and it was completely random. There was [[No Fourth Wall]]. They were both pretty much aware of this trope all the way through |

* Even ''[[Police Stop]]'' isn't infallible to this. The episode ''Police Stop! 3'' has subjects [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|that are never mentioned again for the rest of the series]] and doesn't mention the United Kingdom very much. The same can be said for ''Police Stop! 4'', its sequel that followed in 1995, which had no [[ident|idents]] between episodes. This is surprisingly rare for a documentary to do such things. However, your opinion will differ on this. If you do wish to see the series, watch it on ITV4, it's nearly always shown as reruns. |

* ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' gives us the 4th season episode "... And Fancy Free", in which Hercules enters a dance competition. Nothing rests on this competition other than his partner's self esteem, and a nice trophy. Apparently, in spite of this, the town magistrate finds this competition important enough that he spends most of the episode sending assassins after Hercules and his partner to stop them from winning. No other motivation is given, he just wants his daughter to win. [[Bonus Points]] for guest starring Michael Hurst in drag as the dance instructor |

** "Stranger in a Strange World", which is referred to as a "Bizarro World episode" by the writer in the interviews feature on the DVD. This episode features an alternate universe with Hercules an evil tyrant marrying Aphrodite, the Xena cast in different roles, and a battle using a wedding cake. And Iolaus as a jester. |

** There is a later episode featuring the same characters in struggle over fashion...which is about as pointless as "...And Fancy Free". Also no explanation is given as to why the town magistrate has apparently given up his duties to go into the world of ancient Greek fashion. |

** Speaking of Hercules, the episode set in the present day which is all about Kevin Sorbo having gone missing, and features the memorable and hysterical [[Crowning Moment of Funny|restroom whistling scene]]. |

* ''[[The Kids in The Hall]]'' episode "Chalet 2000" was one long Buddy Cole sketch (with it's own credit sequence), and to top it off, Queen Elizabeth appears and ends up sleeping with a talking beaver. |

* ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]'' while surfing Tori got into a major wipe out, and wind up in a [[Mirror Universe]] where the Rangers are the bad guys and Lothor and his goons are good guys. She eventually gets back to her own universe by getting wiped out again. |
