Line 183:
* Dante and Randal in the ''[[Clerks]]'' series reminisce about the iconic scene from [[Happy Days]], except in their recollection, the shark came back and ate [[Deep Blue Sea|Samuel L. Jackson]].
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' the Monarch references this trope regarding henchmen. You say "jump" they say "what shark".
* The series finale of ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' is '''all about''' this trope. Bat-Mite, tired of ''BTBATB''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s formula, conspires to get it cancelled by inflicting several classic shark-jumps. The list includes giving Batman [[Official Couple|a love interest]] and [[Cousin Oliver|sickeningly cute daughter]], [[Toyetic|inserting obvious toy tie-ins]], [[The Other Darrin|changing Aquaman's voice actor]] (to Ted McGinley, no less), giving Ace the Bat-Hound [[The Scrappy|a very familiar nephew]], [[Retool|moving the show to Malibu]], and finally [[Character Derailment|making Batman use guns]]. [[Ambush Bug]] (voiced by Henry Winkler) tries to stop him by telling Batman [[Medium Awareness|that they're in a TV show]] and if they don't get back to normal fast, declining viewership will destroy their world.
* D.N. Ace episode 17b "Mendel vs Mendor" features a photo of Mendor water-skiing over four sharks {{spoiler|They fix everything, but by then the show's already been cancelled. The series ends with a giant wrap party where Batman tells the viewers that he'll always be around to fight evil, but for now this is goodbye.}}
