Line 64:
* A version of this also features as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. A short called "Seven wishes" features a girl named Jenny being given a magic flower that grants seven wishes, and each wish takes up one of its seven petals. Throughout the short, she teases a kid named Victor who is sitting on a bench reading a book instead of running around and playing. After several small wish-related adventures, she finally is reduced to just one wish and taunts Victor one time. Victor gets tired of her teasing, finally closes his book, then pulls out a pair of crutches from under the bench and starts to walk home. Jenny then uses her last wish for Victor to be healthy again.
* ''[[Rick and Morty]]'': In one episode, Summer goes to the back room of Mr. Needful store to show him that the one artifact they were, ironically, unable to give away was the Mokey's Paw, only to find, to her horror, that he's hung himself. She first tries pushing his desk over so she can climb up to him to cut him down, but it's too heavy; then she remembers what the Paw does, so she wishes the desk was lighter. Then she can't untie the knot, so she wishes it would come undone. Mr. Needful is now unconscious and not breathing; Summer does ''not'' know CPR, so she uses the final wish to wish she did. She revives him, and he sadly says that was a waste of a good Monkey's Paw. (And he's right, as this quickly becomes a case of [[The Farmer and the Viper]], seeing as [[Save the Villain| he's, well, the Devil]].)
* In a [[Valentines Day Episode|Valentines Day Special]] starring ''[[The Smurfs]]'', a selfless wish was used to prevent a rather catastrophic selfish one. The [[Wicked Witch]] Chlorhydris wanted to use a special wishing well to purge the world of love (and yes, [[Woman Scorned| she did have a motive for this]] [[Runaway Fiance| which was explained in a later episode]]). The well could only be used [[When the Planets Align| when there was a full moon on Valentines Day]], which only happened once every thousand years, and she needed to offer it a cat. Not just any cat would do, and apparently, Gargamel's cat Azrael was perfect (for some odd reason). Of course, taking Azrael from Gargamel caused him to find out about it, and naturally he wanted to use the well's powers for himself (to catch the Smurfs, of course). The Smurfs themselves got involved, and after the well's power was activated, the two villains got into a struggle to use its power. While they were doing that, Smurfette briefly considered using the well to find true love, but after realizing how crazy all this had become, she told it, "I wish we were all back where we belong!" sending Gargamel to his hovel, Chlorhydris to her observatory, and the Smurfs to their village. And as a bonus, preventing the well from being used again for another thousand years.
