* ''[[King of the Hill]]'': Hank and Boomhaur got snared, and Bill tripped the wire for one but was too fat for the tree to pull him up. He removed the foot-lasso and ran to get help but fell into a drop pit (if that's what they're called).

* In some instances, getting hung upside down in any tether isn't relegated to just snares but usually occur either by accident or as part of a story device. The 1951 [[Mighty Mouse]] cartoon ''Sunny Italy'' opens with such a story device, showing Pearl Pureheart dangling by one foot from the Leaning Tower of Pisa at the behest of the villain Oil Can Harry.
