Line 62:
By the end, it seems like Ned and Homer will remain friends and Lisa's convinced that their wacky adventures will end. Cut to a scene taking place next week, Homer tells Ned Flanders to get lost. }}
** Homer makes a comment about 'lousy Korean animation.' As he's saying it, his mouth disappears and reappears a few inches from his face, hanging in midair. There is a scene where Homer makes a comment about how bad at drawing Matt Groening is. A giant eraser appears and starts to rub him out. He yells that he 'takes it back' and then it is revealed that the eraser is just a sculpture being carried past. There is also an episode where a news report gives Homer an idea about how to solve a problem. He tells Lisa it's a good thing she turned the TV on at that moment. She says she didn't turn it on. They look back to the TV, which is now switched off, and say that neither of them turned it off either. Eerie music plays.
** "Lemon of Troy" piles on the [[Shout-Out|ShoutOuts]] to [[Homer|Homer's]] epics of the Trojan War: the name of the show's patriarch being an obvious, but not prominent example. Springfield's and Shelbyville's
** A list of all of the Lampshade Hangings
* ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', "Foster's Goes to Europe": The show addresses why Mac should be going to Europe with his imaginary friends instead of his family. Coco gives the explanation, which makes it [[The Unintelligible|unintelligible]].
* A hilarious one from ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'': in "The Junkman Cometh", as Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl are flying to the Moon, Sheen goes, "Hey Jimmy, how come we can fly through space in this rocket with our heads exposed? Shouldn't we not be able to breathe?" and Jimmy responds with "That's an excellent question, Sheen! Well, you see..." and as he explains it, the camera shifts to Carl, singing a song and drowning out Jimmy's explanation. Happens again on the return trip with another question.
Line 152:
** The main characters get invited to a party for the Earth King's bear, and are surprised that it is just a bear and not a bear [[Mix-and-Match Critters|crossed with another animal]].
** [[Hammerspace]] does not make sense to Katara. "Where'd you get that?"
** Toph eventually gets fed up with one of the series' best [[Running Gag
* ''[[The Mighty Ducks (animation)|The Mighty Ducks]]'' had a scene where after two of the six main characters have been captured by the Villain of the Week and a third has been sucked through the TV into an alternate dimension, one of the remaining characters says, If we keep losing teammates, this show's gonna be called ''The Mighty '''Duck'''''. (Or words to that effect.) Nosedive also tends to cross the line into [[No Fourth Wall]] territory, as he?s been shown to hear flashback music and have enough [[Genre Savvy|Genre Savviness]] to recognize a really friggin' [[Obvious Trap]].
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''
Line 178:
[...]
'''Joss:''' Ron here is afraid of practically everything, but does he let his fears keep him from sidekickin'? Let's face it, Kim. [[Girls Need Role Models|You can do anything]]. So facing all those dangers and villains, well, [[Broken Aesop|it's just like you say. No big. A fella filled with that much fear always chargin' into action with you? Seems to me that's a true hero]]. }}
** Ron commenting on how every girl he seems to get close to for the most part happen to be [[Action Girl
{{quote|'''Ron:''' Are all girls like this? Or just the ones I know?!}}
** The lampshading of the "[[The Men in Black|Government hiding evidence of]] [[Area 51|aliens]]" is quite hilariously done by Ron.
Line 208:
** Dark Danny pointing out how obvious his [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] was. Also in the same one where Clockwork points out Dark Danny (in disguise as his younger, non-evil self) and says something like "See? He's back to his proper time and ''apparently'' not evil." David Carradine, you rock.
** At the end of "Reign Storm", Danny is confused about several things, but when he questions them, Sam tells him that it doesn't matter.
* ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' did this all the time, even in the [[Five Episode Pilot]]. For example, Scrooge [[Pooled Funds|jumps into a pile of coins and starts swimming through it like usual]], and his nephews try to do the same but just land on top of the pile, then wonder how he does it. In the very first episode, Scrooge tells his nephews to "[[Four-Fingered Hands|Give him four]]"
* ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' occasionally uses this trope.
** In "A Mile In My Shoes", Cosmo and Wanda (while in goldfish form, inside their bowl) are preparing for a romantic dinner, and Cosmo attempts to light the candles on the dinner table by rubbing two magic wands together. Timmy walks into the room and asks the couple, "What's new?" just as Cosmo succeeds in lighting the candle. Wanda glances at the flame skeptically, then answers, "Um, the laws of physics?" To be fair, he was using [[A Wizard Did It|magic wands]].
