Playing Sick: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'': Jimmy Neutron once gave his friends special patches that mimicked illness, allowing them to skip school. Unfortunately, the patches got absorbed and made them really sick, forcing Jimmy to pull a [[Fantastic Voyage]] to develop a cure (hence the episode's title, "Journey to the Center of Carl").

* In ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'s Chicken Pox'', younger sister D.W. pretends to have come down with the titular sickness. It works until the spots come off in the bath.

* One ''[[Care Bears]]'' cartoon has two characters drawing spots onto themselves to fake that they have spots. However, when they wash the spots off and declare they're better, the parents declare that the illness is getting worse!

* The ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' episode "Cry Ed", although Eddy is pretending to be severely injured instead of sick, and trying to get attention and pity from the other kids rather than out of school.
