** Lampshaded magnificently by Fay at the end of the episode:
{{quote|'''Fay''': If I was going to kill you, I'd never poison you. I'd just tamper with the fuel gauge on the plane and let you sink like a stone somewhere over Nantuckett Sound. I'm only kidding... but I do know how.}}
* Ted and Melody on ''[[Hey, Dude!]]'' came back to the ranch after being sent home sick and discovered what they thought was an elaborate plot to murder Mr. Ernst. They had missed his announcement that he had written the play, which the other employees were rehearsing.

* ''[[Sam and Max|Sam & Max: Season 2]]'' re-opens Stinky's Diner, which was closed throughout the entirety of Season 1, and introduces its new owner: a thoroughly sketchy woman who claims to be Stinky's granddaughter, taking care of the diner while her grandfather is traveling (something Sam & Max point out would be ''incredibly unlikely'' for the cantankerous old man to even ''consider''). Throughout the season, the implications pile up that this mystery woman murdered Stinky, but in ''What's New, Beelzebub?'', it turns out that {{spoiler|Stinky died in a mountain climbing accident ([[Back Fromfrom the Dead|he gets better]]), and that Girl Stinky is not only very much ''not'' a murderer (despite near-quoting [[The Scottish Trope|Lady MacBeth]]), but a bit of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] to boot. She's also a Cake of the Damned, created by Stinky in a culinary experiment gone wrong.}}
* In ''[[Dead or Alive]] 2'', opera singer Helena is fully convinced that the [[Ninja]] Ayane is responsible for the murder of her mother. While Ayane neither confirms nor denies her involvement, {{spoiler|Christie}}, her real assassin, shows up in ''DOA 3'', and has {{spoiler|her}} sights set on Helena.
* In the Victorian London level in [[Wax Works]], the protagonist is mistaken for Jack the Ripper after being seen next to a dead harlot.The fact that the body he's using is that of Jack's twin brother doesn't help him much.
Line 88:
* The [[Metalocalypse|Dethklok]] song "Bloodtrocuted" tells the story of an electrician who is Mistaken for Murderer by the bounty hunters chasing him, because he happens to look like the man that they're after. Of course, it's [[Everybody Dies|Dethklok]], so {{spoiler|he ends up killing the bounty hunters in an electrified puddle of his own blood in order to save himself, [[Bittersweet Ending|then bleeds to death]] [[Hoist by His Own Petard|from the cuts he gave himself]] [[Death by Irony|in order to pull the stunt off]].}}
* Terry has to [[Clear My Name|clear his name]] of killing Mad Stan in the ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' episode "Eyewitness". {{spoiler|He was framed by Spellbinder, the villain who specializes in technologically-induced hallucinations. Mad Stan wasn't even dead}}.
* In an episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', Timmy and Cosmo believe that [[The Family for the Whole Family|Big Daddy's men]] are going to murder Wanda. Turns out {{spoiler|they were taking her out to dinner}}.
* In an episode of ''[[Goof Troop]]'' ("For Pete's Sake"), Pete reads a letter from Goofy and thinks that Goofy is out to kill him. It turns out that {{spoiler|Goofy was getting him a new hedge clipper in place of the one that Pete had accidentally broken; and that Pete had torn open the envelope, and the letter, improperly.}}
* [[The Cleveland Show]] where he thought Holt had killed his mother. He was actually trying to bury his blowup sex doll.
