Line 32:
* One episode of ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' has the main character trying to duplicate himself, only to ''horribly, horribly'' mutate himself into an unholy concoction of body [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Little heads on ''individual fingers, mouths for eyes, eyeballs sticking out'' and so forth. On the other hand, it was [[Played for Laughs]].
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexters Laboratory]]'' has a direct ''American Werewolf'' parody called "The Laughing" (a reference to the werewolf movie ''The Howling'') where Dexter becomes a "were-clown" after being bitten by a pair of dentures belonging to a clown performing at Deedee's birthday.
* ''[[Futurama]]'':
** Parodied in
** Although it's partly [[Played for Laughs]], the hip 80's CEO dying from boneitis in "Futurestock", complete with delightful bone-snapping sounds as his body constantly distorts into unnatural shapes. It doesn't help that when he dies, both of his hands pull his eyelids and lips back, freezing his face that way.
** All of the underground dwelling mutants have some sort of deformity that makes them unpleasant to look at. {{spoiler|The reason Leela was abandoned (well, sort of) by her parents was because her deformity wasn't as horrific, and they felt humans would find her more acceptable.}}
* ''[[Gargoyles]]'', "Metamorphosis". Elisa's younger brother gets transformed into a gargoyle-ish monster, and the only scientist who understood the process is [[Staged Shooting|killed]]. The episode ends with our cool veteran cop, [[Heartbroken Badass|Elisa, crying uncontrollably]] at the fate of her brother.
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy
** Then there's the episode with the zipper, and he uses the zipper to remove his left arm and replace it with the cat's head, and in "Prank Call of Cthulu" when Billy's nose changes into a squid-like appendage which can flip up and spawn hundreds of insect-like creatures with Billy's head, sharp teeth and tiny tentacles. Screaming wildly, they all fly to Grim and attack him.
** One episode had Mandy slowly transform into a [[Giant Spider]], much to Billy's arachnophobic horror. For Billy's "son" Jeff, though, it's love at first sight.
