Line 139:
* [[Daria]]'s dad is traumatized by his father sending him to a military boarding camp with dreaded Corporal Ellenbogen and "boys who can smell fear". In fact, his subplot in ''Is It College Yet'' is him trying to convince her not to go to military school (which of course she never wanted to do in the first place).
* From ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''; being sent to military school can be bad enough, but when it happens to the Turtle's friend Zach (after he makes one too many false alarms) he finds out that the place is headed by Wingnut and Screwloose, two aliens who are using brainwashing devices on the students. Given Zach's previous false alarms, this quickly turns into a case of [[Crying Wolf]] for him.
* In the ''[[Harley Quinn]]'' episode "Riddle U", this is combined with [[Academy of Evil]]. The Riddler takes over Gotham University and only "convinces" students to stay because he's able to provide electricity, running water, and other mundane comforts, which the rest of the city doesn't have as a result of the earthquake. Very few of the students know that the he's providing the electricity by [[Powered by a Forsaken Child| forcing students to run on giant hamster wheels that power a generator]], and has killed many of them in the process.
