* In an episode of ''[[Clone High]]'', JFK boasts of stuffing the ''entire freshman clsss'' into only ten lockers. And in another episode, Abe, having gone without sleep for almost a week, stuffs ''himself'' into a locker (and since Abe was six-foot-four, he was folded like an accordion).
* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' did this in the second episode, with Kitty Pryde as the target. Naturally, this was a setup for her to discover her [[Intangible Man|phasing power]], and not coincidentally, run into Avalanche, who was the episode's main villain.
