Line 264:
* ''[[Gargoyles]]'' has Sevarius faking his own death as part of Xanatos' plan to turn Talon into an [[Unwitting Pawn]].
* In one episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'', Quagmire marries a woman he barely knows, realizes he made a terrible mistake, and tries to break it off. When she reveals herself to be unstable, the guys help him fake his death so as not to end up with a Fatal Attraction case on their hands.
* ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League Unlimited]]'' did this as well with Green Arrow taking a nerve relaxant so that he appeared to have been killed in the illegal Metabrawl at Wildcat's hands, to show the aging fighter what he could unintentionally do if he continued fighting in it.
* The second season of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' ends with [[Healing Hands|Katara]] pulling [[Kid Hero|Aang]] back from the ragged edge of death after the latter was struck down by Azula. Come the third season premiere (three weeks of unconsciousness later)...
{{quote|'''[[The Smart Guy|Sokka]]''': Yep, the whole world thinks you're dead! (''stands up and raises his arms triumphantly'') Isn't that great?!}}
Line 281:
* In ''[[Johnny Test]]'', Johnny and Dookie get overworked as their alter egos, Johnny X and Super Pooch. Ultimately, the only way to get out of the mess is to convince the town they're dead. They try once on their own, only to fail, so they get Susan and Mary to help them, disguising themselves as alien supervillains and making it look like they've vaporized the two. Susan and Mary actually seem to enjoy this...
* ''[[Top Cat]] and the Beverly Hills Cats'': When it seemed [[Big Bad|Mrs. Vandergelt's butler]] would finally get her fortune, it was revealed she had faked her death.
* In the [[Pilot Movie]] for ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'', J'onn J'onnz telepathically prevents everyone from noticing Batman, leading to the villains (and heroes) not realizing he was there until it was time for him to attack. Of course, being Batman, this was a plot he was used to; see the episode in [[Batman: The Animated Series|his own series]] where everyone thinks a minor crook offed him.
* {{spoiler|Rhinox/Tankor}} does this for a while in ''[[Beast Machines]]'' in order to be able to further his own agenda. {{spoiler|Too bad for him that Megatron figured it out...}}
* ''[[Superfriends]]'' episode "Dr. Pelagian's War". Dr. Ansel Hillbrand fakes his death in a deep sea diving accident to allow him to prepare for his enviroterrorist activities as Dr. Pelagian.
