Line 169:
* ''[[Yogi Bear]]'' is something of a transitional phase between theatrical animation and TV animation. The earliest Yogi cartoons don't always depict him living in Jellystone Park, don't always have Boo Boo as his sidekick, and whenever Ranger Smith did show up, he wouldn't look the same from cartoon to cartoon.
* ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' has so little continuity that recurring character M.C. Pee Pants' whole gag is that he ''doesn't'' benefit from a [[Snap Back]]. This trope allows them to get away with, say, Frylock refusing to move back even after the others beg him to in the episode "The The." Occasional callbacks are made, however.
* ''[[South Park]]'': Kenny's repeated deaths, for starters. Oddly, the characters are somewhat aware that Kenny's died a lot. This is occasionally [[Lampshade
** It should be noted that, during the Coon episodes, it is eventually stated why Kenny is always alive later.
** Some faux-[[Clip Show|Clip Shows]] have the characters remembering past episodes ''completely wrong'' (such as everyone getting ice cream at the end.)
* ''[[Superjail]]'' has some of the most bizarre examples. Usually happens about once per episode.{{context}}
* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'': Shorts often ended with inescapable doom, or other seemingly-permanent bad things (like the destruction of Dexter's lab on several occasions, or ''the whole planet'' getting destroyed by a huge meteor shower in "Let's Save the World, You Jerk!").
* ''[[Duckman]]'': Lampshaded when the character Ajax was beat up and placed in traction. He mentioned that he would be in perfect shape tomorrow due to non-FDA approved drugs. Another example: The amount of grievous bodily harm that Duckman puts his secretaries Fluffy and Uranus through, only for them to be back to normal by the following episode; this was lampshaded by Uranus in the first episode, when [[Ambiguous Gender|s/he]] comments that being stuffed makes them "very resilient."
