* Zigzagged in ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' with Globnar, a type of [[Trial by Combat]] used by inhabitants of the future period ruled by Time Baby. Death isn't ''always'' the result - the winner decides the loser's fate - but it often is. The game itself is actually a wide variety of events, including many forms of gladiator fighting (both between the participants and between them and monsters), chess, cycling, wheelbarrow racing, and a hot dog eating contest. |

* Zigzagged in an episode of ''[[Atomic Betty]]'' where Sparky competes in a game show called ''Space Brains'' that seems to fit the bill. It's kind of like ''[[Fear Factor]]'' but far more dangerous. However, [[Big Bad|Maximus]] purposely rigs the game to ensure that Sparky survives to the final round, as doing so is key to his plan. {{spoiler|He figures that if he asks Sparky to identify Betty's home planet during the lightning round in game show format, Sparky will reveal it. Fortunately, Sparky isn't ''that'' gullible.}} |

* In the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "The Ducksters", Porky is on a rather sadistic radio quiz show called ''Truth or AAAAHHH!!'' (a parody of ''[[Truth or Consequences]]'') hosted by Daffy Duck, where Porky has to answer some rather impossible questions or "pay the penalty". These penalties include Porky being crushed by the Rock of Gibraltar, rained upon by Niagara Falls, tied up and blown up with dynamite, pounded with a mallet, threatened by a buzz saw, crushed by a safe, and other forms of abuse. |

* In ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', Pluck and Dizzy compete on a game show called ''That's Incredibly Stupid'', where the idea is to complete tasks you'd have to be incredibly stupid to even attempt. Round one is to compete in a demolition derby (without a car), and round two involves finding a needle in a haystack (which is set on fire and has fireworks planted inside). Plucky survives those by putting the brunt of it on Dizzy, but when told the last round is simply to judge a beauty contest, he insists on doing it himself. The host neglects to tell him that the contestants are all of the [[Hot Amazon]] type, and all are horrible [[Sore Losers]]. Plucky doesn't complete this one; he was a little ''too'' stupid. |
