Line 91:
* Done fairly horrifically in ''[[Monkey Dust]]''. Noodles, a Bugs Bunny-esque cartoon rabbit, takes revenge on the scientists who perform experiments on him by propping an anvil on a door. Needless to say, the scientist doesn't spring back into shape two seconds later.
* In an episode of ''[[Garfield and Friends|U.S. Acres/Orson's Farm]]'', Roy rigs his coop door with a bucket so that when Orson walks through the door, "the bucket will fall, and WHAMMO! Drenched porker." He also intends to follow up with super-hot tabasco-flavored gum, which will come back to bite him later, but for now, Orson opens the door, and the bucket ''doesn't'' fall, despite its precarious motion. Roy offers the gum; Orson accepts but doesn't chew it. After a discussion involving adding a link to the goody-go-round, Orson closes the door. The rule of comedic timing in full effect, the bucket falls while Roy ponders the failure of his two tricks, not soaking him until he's trying to remember what the second one was.
* An episode of ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', appropriately titled "The Prank" uses the trap twice, with Richard as the prankster. The first time it backfires after Gumball and Darwin see him and he springs it on himself, causing the bucket to get stuck on his head and the paramedics to have to come get it off of him. The second time it is used, Gumball and Darwin deliberately trip it in order to make their father feel better, only for a chunk of solid concrete to nearly land on them instead. This leads into the climatic chase through the house.▼

** Richard later admits that the cement was wet when he poured it in the bucket.
