* [[Enforced Trope|Done intentionally]] and [[Played for Laughs]] with Hercules in a [[Classical Mythology]]-inspired episode of ''[[Animaniacs]]''. While as physically strong as his mythological counterpart, he's also a crybaby who throws a childish tantrum because he doesn't want to do the Twelve Labors that his "mean old dad Zeus" told him to do.
