Line 34:
* Yunyun from ''[[Canaan]]'' always seems to have exactly the job that will allow her to run into the main cast, which eventually allows her to join the cast in their antics. {{spoiler|Subverted, though: she's not doing it just for the money or the thrill, but as [[The Mole]] for their enemies.}}
** Could also be a reference to the potential after effects of China's economic growth spurt, as Yunyun mentions that many in the slums take up several part-time jobs to make ends meet.
* Li Shenshun from ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'' always happens to be working at whatever place is most plot-relevant at the moment -- of course, Li ''is'' the civilian alias of the "Black [[Shinigami]]" Hei...
* Hasegawa in ''[[Gintama]]'' is either in a brand new job or without one. The explanation is because he is a MADAO. Also because he keeps asking Gintoki & Co. to help him with his jobs.
* From ''[[Hell Girl]]'', Ai Enma's minions are often shown with different jobs as they observe a prospective client before the string is pulled, except in season three where they all keep the same jobs in a school since {{spoiler|they're hanging out with the girl who's supposed to be replacing their current boss.}}
Line 238:
* Chuck and Leon, better recognized as The Chameleon Brothers, on ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]''. They're always on the hip end of any career, often as entrepreneurs or artists, and have an [[Funny Foreigner|extremely fake Scandinavian accent]]. Their [[Funny Animal]] species is a dead giveaway to their ever-changing role.
** One main character, Filburt, was given a couple episodes as a WDYKCJ before being promoted to a main major character. Another character, Dr. Hutchison, held a number of jobs in various medical fields before being promoted; upon meeting Dr. Hutchison, Rocko would invariably say, "Dr. Hutchison? I thought you were a [dentist/pharmacist/whatever job she had last]", to which she'd respond with laughter and a pun relating to the previous job: "I couldn't handle looking down in the mouth anymore!" (One time, Rocko just said all the jobs at once, to which Hutchison replied, "Yeah... it's been a crazy year.")
* Rancid Rabbit of ''[[Cat DogCatDog]]'' is a fairly untrustworthy example of the trope. In one episode, he appears as both a teacher and a policeman. [[Lampshade Hanging|Cat is a bit surprised]].
* [[Satan|The Red Guy]] from ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'' and ''[[I Am Weasel]]''. One "I Am Weasel" episode has Weasel being sent to jail with Baboon by Baboon's lawyer (the Red Guy). At prison, he meets the jailer (also the Red Guy) and [[Lampshade Hanging|accuses them of being the same person]].
** In one "Cow and Chicken" episode, Red Guy himself ends up in jail, and meets the warden -- who, as pointed out, looks exactly like him. Sadly, this was the end of the episode, so the gag didn't go any further.
