* On ''[[Happy Days]]'', Chachi found himself eating in the kitchen (as there were not enough seats in the dining room). Richie has become mad at Chachi, and when Chachi asks for a roll, Richie throws it at him really hard. Chachi announces that he'll get his own gravy.

* On ''[[Friends]]'', Joey has a [[Loony Fan]] who thinks he's his ''[[One Life to Live]]'' character, Dr. Drake Ramoray. When she gets angry at Ramoray and goes after Joey, the others save him by convincing her that he's actually Drake's [[Evil Twin]], and splash glasses of water at him for various offences, most famously [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|leaving the toilet seat up.]]

* Drinks to the face are an occupational hazard for [[How I Met Your Mother|Barney Stinson]]. "Eventually, you'll be able to anticipate it, and when you do... free drink."

* On ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'', Ray and Debra are eating ice-cream when Ray brags about how he got a higher score than Debra in an IQ test. Debra responds by dumping the ice-cream bowl on his crotch.

** Also, in "Punky Business", Graeme has gotten to work as a waiter in a punk restaurant. When Tim orders the sauce, he gets it all over his head.

** ''Also'' also, in ''"Black And White Beauty"'', there's a literal food slap. Exposition: Graeme's running a place that takes care of old animals. Bill, after watching some of their behavior (nothing), starts doubting that they're alive. Bill watches a very unmoving cat, then this ensues:

''(Tim and Bill look away for a bit -- when they look back, the kipper bone is sticking out of Graeme's mouth. Tim slowly pulls it out)''<br />

'''Graeme:''' Er...''(turns to the cat)'' I'm sorry, Kenneth, I was just so--''(Tim slaps him with the kipper)'' }}
