Line 42:
* Female-less version: ''[[Hey Arnold]]'', "Fishing Trip".
* ''[[The Proud Family]]'' did this with a camping trip in the surprisingly named episode "Camping Trip". Not only do the ladies one-up the guys, but the kids do too.
* Inverted in ''[[Peanuts|It's a Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown!]]''. The girls have a terrible time of it because of Pepperment Patty's [[Hanlon's Razor|less-than-brilliant leadership skills]] and because they insist on voting for '''everything'''. Meanwhile, Charlie Brown ([[Throw the Dog Aa Bone|for once]]) gets to be the "winner" by demonstrating good leadership and planning skills. In one scene, Chuck breaks out the canned rations and Patty grumbles about the quality of the food and how she wants pancakes for breakfast, causing Charlie to chew her out for how unrealistic that is.
* In an episode of ''Maxi's World'', it's played just about to the t besides that the girls use such things as cosmetics or small electric appliances to help. Then, at the end where an attempt to scare the girls with a fake bear is spoiled when a real bear appears and the boys and girls fend it off and both admit their mistakes.
* An episode of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' that also featured a ''[[Bewitched (TV)|Bewitched]]'' [[Crossover]]. The men go camping and the women tag along with their new neighbour (who happens to be a witch). Fred and Barney constantly mock Wilma and Betty for coming, but the witch Samantha makes sure that they survive out there with her magic, all the while punishing the guys for their misogyny. This becomes less "don't mess with women, guys" and more "[[Space Whale Aesop|don't mess with MAGICAL women, guys!]]" Samantha's attempts to make sure the women stay ahead and punishing the boys for attempting to cheat their way in front elevate from "[[Poetic Justice]]" to "[[Jerkass|being a bitch for being a bitch's sake]]".
* Played straight, and then subverted in the [[Fairly Oddparents]] episode "Squirrely Puffs" where Timmys dad leads a camping trip for the Boy Scouts expy The Squirrel Puffs, while Timmys Mom leads the Girl Scout expy the Cream Puffs. The trip goes about how you'd expect, with the boys having a miserable time, and the girls easily thriving in the woods, to the point where they are joined by singing woodland creatures. It is then subverted when the Puffs end up being trapped by a storm, and [[Hell Is That Noise|the animals refuse to stop singing]], not to mention weaving posionous berries into their hair, while the boys trip starts going smoother.
* In the episode "Lewis and Clark and Larry" from [[Time Squad]], this trope comes into play when the famed explorer team split up, [[Ho Yay|in a way that is deliberatly played like a relationship split]]. Larry ends up going with Lewis, and their exploration trip is a breeze, while Tudrussel and Otto, who go with Clark, goes through a nightmarish death march of a trip, including getting lost because none of them know how to read a map, almost starving to death and being chased by a bear.
