** And again, in a Halloween episode, Lisa is selected to come aboard a space ark meant to save the best and brightest. She is told she can only take one of her parents and answers "Mom" before the question is even finished.

* In an episode of ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'', Dodgers is given the powers of a [[Green Lantern]]. After the other Lanterns are captured, Sinestro offers him a chance to [[We Can Rule Together|join him]]. Dodgers agrees so quickly that at first Sinestro [[Won't Take Yes for An Answer|doesn't even realize what he said]].
