** When [[The Simpsons]] comic book did a parody of it, they got rid of the impossible situations rule. Which led to, among other things, Flanders getting pecked to death by a flock of flying penguins.
* ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'' [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|magical transformations]] have a set of basic if very generalized rules to purposely avoid complicated minutiae ("I don't think about it, and [[Bellisario's Maxim|neither should you!]]") despite [[Fan Wank|whatever fans say]].
* [[Nasuverse|Nasu Kinoko]]'s works have a nasty habit of setting up incredibly complex and detailed rules about [[The Verse]]... then having a character with some really rare ability break those rules. Of course, only that character alone can ever do it (and probably not more than once), otherwise it's completely consistent.
