** Another example is at the end of "Her Parents" when Finn and Jake taste "Soy People," which is said to taste exactly like humans... of which Finn is the last because Rainicorns ''eat'' them. Not at all helped by Jake actually saying, "Finn, you taste delicious!"

** Aaaand yet another at the end of "Mystery Train" when the train falls off an open cliff and lands on a gelatin person. Jake says that this wasn't planned, and he was the one who arranged the train ride for Finn. The ending seems to suggest that Jake knew this the whole time and either he or the designer of the train tracks was planning to commit a mass murder-suicide.

* "The Boy Who Cried Comet" episode of ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' certainly qualifies. The episode suddenly ends with the revelations that Arthur and Co. are actually aliens wearing [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|rubber masks]] acting out the show on a distant planet. Had most of the audiences throwing their hands up in the air and declaring that they can ''never'' look at the show the same way ever again. [

* ''[[Total Drama Island|Total Drama World Tour]]'''s finale may also be considered. The challenge involves the final two racing to throw driftwood-and-pineapple sculptures of each other into a volcano in Hawaii. Okay. But once Heather does so, Ezekiel suddenly shows up, steals the money and falls into the volcano, completing his nonsensical [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum subplot]]. Then we suddenly find out that [[Ass Pull|pineapples make]] [[Chekhov's Volcano|volcanoes erupt]]. Everybody races down the mountain and into the water, Alejandro gets horrifically burned, Ezekiel flies out of the volcano and sinks Chris' ship, and the show cuts off just as everyone's swimming for their lives and Heather looks like she's about to be crushed by a rock. Given that the new season will have all-new characters, [[Fridge Horror|this implies things]] [[Inferred Holocaust|didn't end well]].
