** In fact, the street next to Lois is puddle-free when her rival drives up and stops a few feet behind her. As she gloats, she pulls a bucket of water out of her car [[Crazy Prepared|which she apparently keeps just for these sorts of situations]] and empties it into the gutter next to Lois... thereby producing a puddle through which she can drive, and... well, you know.

* Skinner in ''[[Ratatouille]]'' gets hit by one right as his [[Humiliation Conga]] is nearing its peak.

** In "Hearts and Hooves Day", during the musical number where the Cutie Mark Crusaders look for a stallion to be Cheerilee's "very special somepony", [[Fan Nickname|Doctor Whooves]] is seen doing this to Applebloom and Scootaloo.
