* ''[[Scooby-Doo (animation)|Scooby Doo]]'' [[Played for Laughs|plays this trope for laughs]]. Typically, something spooky is going on, but is [[Doing in the Wizard|actually engineered]] by someone wanting to scare people away. Half the time, it's an [[Invoked Trope]], as the fake monster is based on an old local legend (or, occasionally, the villain makes up a story and ''claims'' it's an old legend). Once in a while, there's [[Real After All|some evidence]] of ''actual'' spookiness, which the heroes may or [[Gave Up Too Soon|may not]] see.

* ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' [[Played for Laughs|plays this for laughs]] in an episode about Stonehenge. Apparently, it has some sort of great magical powers, but nobody really knows what it ''does''. Jackie Chan, upon being told this, sarcastically remarks "Yeah, and some people think it's used to contact aliens." The bad guys figure it must be some kind of weapon, and Jackie Chan goes into action to stop them from activating it. Amazingly, the bad guys actually succeed at pulling off their [[Evil Plan]] to activate Stonehenge, revealing to everyone present that Stonehenge does... ''absolutely nothing''. Everyone goes home, and then, in the last scene of the episode, a UFO lands at the now-deserted Stonehenge.

* ''[[Kim Possible]]''. [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|Mystical Monkey Power]] is all about this trope.
