* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'':
** One episode has Bart and Lisa write a script for an [[The Itchy and Scratchy Show|"Itchy & Scratchy"]] cartoon that ends with Scratchy's head (now just a skull) going through a ceiling and into Elvis Presley's television set. "Ah, this show ain't no good," says Elvis, who promptly produces a revolver and shoots Scratchy's skull through the TV.
** The trope is [[Inverted Trope|inverted]] in the episode "The Cartridge Family", where Homer uses the new revolver he bought to ''turn the TV on''. Hilariously, the image that comes on the screen when it does turn on is of a cowboy, having been shot, falling off a roof.
** In "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", Chief Wiggum, [[The Pete Best|after he had been kicked out of The Be Sharps]], becomes so upset while watching Johnny Carson that he begins wildly shooting the TV in a fit of rage. It then becomes apparent that Wiggum had accidentally left the remote control in his gun holster and got that and his gun confused for the other.
