== Anime and Manga ==
* In the ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]! Overload'' manga, Sousuke is prohibited by Kaname to bring guns to school for one day. He actually starts getting ''withdrawal symptoms'' from not firing a gun. Everything starts looking like moving targets, he hears gunfire, and everyone starts looking like thug-ish terrorists. He eventually breaks, and starts attacking Kaname's classmates, thinking they're trying to kill her. In the end, Kaname takes him outside and lets him have target practice with an empty can. It ends with [[Spoof Aesop|her seeing the importance of allowing him to shoot guns (lest he start going crazy)]].
* ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'' has an episode where Mint is told that if she continues her obsession with wearing mascot-type animal costumes, she'll die. This diagnosis conveniently coincides with the Angel Brigade's trip to a planet that is celebrating "wear an animal costume day". While on the planet, she is the millionth customer of a local supermarket, and is awarded several animal costumes. Then she attends an award ceremony where the mayor of the town awards her another one. Then she throws the animal costume people are trying to make her wear into a lake, and [[Honest Axe|gets offered silver and gold animal costumes by the water spirit in the lake]].
* The very premise of the manga ''[[My Balls]]''. Due to a series of unusual circumstances, protagonist Kohta has the Queen of Hell [[Sealed Evil in a Can|sealed in his cojones]]. He must not ejaculate for a month or it will be [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. Naturally, Hell itself and everything else in the universe starts tempting him like mad.

** In the episode "The Last Temptation of Homer", Homer is attracted to his co-worker, Mindy, and tries to watch television to take his mind off her:
{{quote|'''Kent Brockman:''' Tonight, "Eye On Springfield" takes a look at the secret affairs of [[John F. Kennedy|Kennedy]], [[Dwight Eisenhower|Eisehower]], [[George

'''Narrator:''' The Burmese Melon Fly has over a thousand sex partners, and suffers virtually no guilt-<br />
Line 156:
* One episode of ''[[Dennis the Menace UK]]'' featured an [[Eccentric Millionaire]] who challenged Dennis' town not to watch the telly for a whole month and promised to give the town one million if they win. At the last day, Dennis and his friends convinced him to watch TV (which he claimed he never did before during his whole life). The millionaire decided to give the money anyway.
* One ''[[House of Mouse]]'' era short had Daisy getting fed up with Donald's anger issues, and betting that he couldn't go through their date without flying into rage. Goofy ends up being their waiter. You can see where this is going... {{spoiler|but it's a subversion. Daisy's the one who gets mad. Donald remains perfectly fine during the date. That is, [[Double Subversion|until he gets the bill]].}}
* In episode 3 of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', Arnold is depressed that he lost his hat. To take his mind off it, he turns on the TV and sees that it's Hat Day at the local ballpark and everyone in the stadium is wearing one. It doesn't help.
* In an episode of ''[[A Pup Named Scooby Doo]]'', Freddy accepts a bet from the other characters that he can't go one whole case without accusing [[Red Herring]] (that's the character's actual name) of anything. So who gives them the next case? Red Herring's aunt. And what character do the heroes see constantly during this case? Three guesses. {{spoiler|And it turns out Red Herring ''really did'' commit the crime that time.}}
