Line 177:
* ''[[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."
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' frequently ends with deaths/mutations/evils run amok that don't carry over to the next episode.
** The fan webcomic ''[[Grim Tales from Down Below]]'' explains this as a case of [[Death Takes a Holiday]]—Billy and Mandy's life timers ran out long ago, but Grim can't bring himself to reap them.
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'': The world has been dragged trillions of miles off course and major characters have been turned into bologna or had their organs replaced with household objects, and yet virtually every episode starts as though nothing unusual has happened. Again, there are occasional callbacks.
