* On ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' a traffic camera records Roger running someone over and leaving them to die. However, he's wearing a [[Paper -Thin Disguise|paper thin]] [[Kevin Bacon]] disguise at the time, so it's the Hollywood actor who gets arrested. Even Bacon himself, who was thousands of miles away when the hit-and-run happened, believes he must have committed the crime and repressed the memory, because "it's clearly me on the tape!"
* ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'' [[ItsIt's Been Done|did it]] when Homer was accused of groping a woman. Apparently [[Funny Foreigner|Groundskeeper Willy]], like ''all'' Scottish people, secretly videotapes random people in cars, and he uses his tape to prove that Homer was just trying to grab a piece of candy off the woman's butt.
* The [[Dinosaucers (Animation)|Dinosaucers]] tried it with the Tyrannos once ,but it failed because they put Bonehead in charge of taping the confession. Instead of doing so, [[Literal Minded|he covered the villain with adhesive tape]].
* ''[[Duck Tales]]'' had an episode where Flintheart Glomgold framed Scrooge with art theft by showing a tape of 'Scrooge' stealing the painting. It worked at first but Huey, Dewey and Louie eventually found out the tape caught a reflection of 'Scrooge' taking off his disguise, revealing himself as Flintheart Glomgold.
