The [[Damsel in Distress]] is a dime a dozen in media since the beginning of time, but now that females are starting to take on a more active role, there's no one left for them to save!

** The spinoff series ''[[The Amazing Spiez]]'' will have a scene featuring one or more of the three Clark boys from time to time.

* The [[Distress Ball]] was passed around pretty evenly in ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]'', as was the rescuer card. It helps that they're a [[Badass Crew]].

* Played for laughs in one episode of ''[[~~Re Boot~~]]'', a male character (Enzo) is literally dressed up as a damsel in distress (complete with princess costume and voice changing gizmo), and the female lead dressed as a knight shows up to rescue him.

* In ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', the "[[Damsel in Distress]]" role tends to go to Aelita, who doesn't reach [[Action Girl]] status until around [[Took a Level in Badass|Season Three]], or [[Action Girl|Yumi]] in some sort of random [[Running Gag]]. However, there are also many episodes that involve [[Non-Action Guy|Jérémie]] being the one in trouble, usually with electrocuting or trying to electrocute him. (And there was that one time where XANA sent one of his specters to [[Nightmare Fuel|clog his airways and suffocate him]].) This really makes the most sense, since when you're [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|a computer program]], the most dangerous foe is [[The Smart Guy|the guy who]] [[Mission Control|controls]] [[Voice with an Internet Connection|the computer]].

* [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]] in the ''[[She-Ra: Princess of Power]]'' movie. Let's have [[The Nostalgia Chick]] talk about it, shall we?
