* ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', "The Impractical Joker": Roy has played a practical joke on Orson, who vows revenge but is secretly pulling off a [[Paranoia Gambit]]. Shortly thereafter, an inspector, who appears to be Orson in a [[Paper-Thin Disguise]], arrives on the farm. Roy just mocks him and ''begs'' to be sent to the South Pole, even trying to throw mud on the "inspector". After the inspector falls into Orson's waller, the ''real'' Orson walks up. As Roy contemplates this turn of events, the inspector declares that he really will banish Roy. As Roy runs away in panic, the inspector turns out to be {{spoiler|Lanolin in disguise}}.
* How ''[[Invader Zim]]'' came to Earth, and a running theme in the series. Zim doesn't seem to know or care that [[Insignificant Little Blue Planet| this isn't a "good" assignment.]]
** It's because this reassignment was just a disguised suicide mission. The Tallest sent him there not knowing there was a planet in the vicinity and hoped he would die along the way. They're a little more blunt when it comes to Skoodge, though: "You will be assigned to Blorch, home of the slaughtering rat people."
* Literally what happens to [[Military Maverick]] Yuri Stavrogan in ''[[Exo Squad]]'': he gets sent to Antarctica right after he gets promoted to squad commander. Unfortunately for him, the Neosapien breeding facility they are assigned to investigate is, in fact, the highest security Neo installation on the planet at the moment ({{spoiler|because it researches [[Super Soldier|Neo Lords]]}}), and his entire squad is wiped out.
