{{quote|'''King Richard:''' Take him away! Wait, wait-- put him in the Tower of London. Make him part of the tour.}}
* When Quasimodo is chosen as King of Fools in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', at first the people celebrate him, but then a guard throws a tomato and the rest of the crowd turns against him. Frollo, angry that Quasi disobeyed him by leaving the cathedral, lets this go on until Esmeralda saves him.
* In ''[[Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken]]'', this is {{spoiler|Chelsea's ultimate fate; stripped of her powers with her reputation wrecked due to an [[Engineered Public Confession]], she is confined to a cage at the town docks where she is mocked not only by the town but by the entire internet, via Gordon's livestreaming. Still, as much of an [[Attention Whore]] she is, she seems a little happy that ''everyone'' is paying attention to her, even if it's out of scorn.}}

* In Avatar: the Last Airbender, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko's Agni Kai against his father could be seen as a particularly horrifying example of this. Zuko's kneeling, tears, and desperate pleas for forgiveness were all watched silently by a crowd of hundreds after he was tricked into a duel with the Fire Lord, and some individuals could be seen wearing creepily satisfied expressions when he got the scar.
* One episode of ''[[Kidd Video]]'' had the four protagonists captured by the citizens of a town (who had been fooled by [[Big Bad|Master Blaster]] posing a his [[Evil Twin|not-so-evil brother]]) and put in stocks so [[Pie in the Face| pies could be thrown at them]]; Kidd comments on how much he ''hates'' vanilla.
* In a ''[[Popeye (cartoon)|Popeye]]'' cartoon, Bluto is an [[Evil Poacher]] with a zoo full of rare animals, and intends to put Popeye and Olive there; he eventually gets a taste of his own medicine and is locked up in his own zoo, gawked at by his former collection. "Can't you read?" he angrily shouts to them, indicating a sign. "It says don't tease the animals!"
* One ''[[Secret Squirrel]]'' short shows that Secret's spy organization gets their funding by incarcerating criminals (who are mostly [[Funny Animal]]s like Secret) in a zoo.
