* InThe ''[[Futurama]]'', one episode "Rebirth features a premise where everyone except for [[The Professor|Professor Farnsworth]] died, leading to Farnsworth attempting to resurrect them. Complications in the plot led to the existance of [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]] [[Robot Me|robot versions of Fry and Leela]]. Once everything is cleared up between them and the real ones, the robot [[Doppelganger|doppelgangers]] leave with this exchange:
{{quote| '''Robot Leela:''' We're robots and we're in love. Let's ditch these meat jackets. ''(strips out of her mutant skin, revealing a [[Terminator]]-like exoskeleton)''<br />
'''Robot Fry:''' Whoa, cool! ''(takes off his human skin to show a similar exoskeleton, then speaks in a matching voice)'' Hasta la vista, wiener!<br />
Line 193:
'''Professor''': Of course not. That's why scientists increased the speed of light in 2206. }}
* In ''[[Evil Con Carne]]'', [[It Makes Sense in Context|Hector Con Carne, Major Doctor Ghastly, and General Skarr visit an island and meet their currently elderly future selves.]] Eventually, we learn that Hector and Ghastly settled down and bore a son which Hector, [[It Makes Sense in Context|being only a brain and a (sentient) stomach attached to a bear,]] naturally lampshades this. Ghastly [[Hand Wave|handwaves]] this by being caused by "the miracle of love".
* Early ''[[South Park]]'' episodes described the "Terrance and Phillip Show" as a cartoon with crappy animation, though this later evolved into a weirder (but funnier) premise that the show was actually filmed in Canada, where everything actually ''was'' crappy-looking. In the episode "Behind the Blow," which parodied [[VH-1]]'s "''Behind the Music"'', this inconsistency was waved away with a rather convoluted explanation. Apparently, in the South Park world there ''used'' to be a Terrance and Phillip cartoon that was separate from the live-action show, but the cartoon was so popular many people became confused as to whether or not T&P were real people or cartoon characters.
* In the''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]]'' episode "The Junk Man", Sheen asks Jimmy several questions as they are flying to and from the Moon, like why the voyage takes only a few minutes and why the boys don't need space suits and helmets. However, both times Jimmy starts to answer Sheen's questions, the camera cuts to Carl on the other side of the rocket singing an off-key, made-up song about the Moon. Both times Carl finishes singing, the camera cuts to Jimmy asking Sheen if he understands his answer and Sheen responding that he is still confused.
* In the ''[[Invader Zim]]'' episode ''"The Frycook What Came From All That Space''", Sizz-Lorr's very appearance is lampshaded by Zim of all people. The handwave comes in with Sizz-Lorr's response.
{{quote| '''Sizz-Lorr:''' After your escape, the great Foodening began! Foodcourtia's most horrible food rush, that lasts twenty years! The gravatational pull from all that snacking makes it impossible for anything to leave the planet. I was trapped. Alone. ''Without help.''<br />
'''Zim:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Twenty years?]] But I haven't been gone that long.<br />
'''Sizz-Lorr:''' [[Hand Wave|There's a time warp involved or something.]] }}
