* In ''[[Sixteen]]'', when Caitlin wanted to apply for a job at [[Bland-Name Product|Albatross & Finch]], Jonesy comes along for moral support. She gets passed over in favour of [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?|Jonesy]] for his blase attitude.

* ''[[Hey Arnold]]!'' did something similar, with Stinky sitting out an audition for a soda commercial and cheering Arnold on, but the powers that be end up rejecting ''every single auditioner'' and pick Stinky. Of course, [[Celebrity Is Overrated|there's a reason behind that]]. (And they would do it again with Helga, the only kid in class who doesn't want to try out for modeling, ending up getting picked by a model scout over those who actually wanted to get the job.)

** Also in "Cool Party": Arnold is on classmate Rhonda's "Cool List" (and has thus received an invitation to her party), yet his best friend Gerald, "the definition of cool", is on her "Geek List". (Rhonda's explanation: he ran for class president against ''her''.)

* ''[[Kim Possible]]'', "Job Unfair" does it with a twist: At a career fair, Ron and Kim get assigned jobs. One of them gets secret agent... which bewilders Kim, since she got janitor. It turns out that the janitor acting as her mentor was trying to teach her to deactivate a weather machine and was also Ron's mentor.
