== Western Animation ==

** An episode has Garfield at war with a pizza delivery service which kept ''almost'' arriving on time, but each delivery-person fell prey to elaborate traps Garfield had set to weasel his way out of paying.

{{quote|'''Garfield:''' Thirty-one minutes. Sorry.}}

* In an episode of ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', astronauts on the Space Station called pizza deliveries with this policy in order to get unlimited free pizza for the guys at NASA.

* In ''[[Recess]]: School's Out'', Ms. Finster says this phrase when she hears a knock at her door.

* In an episode of ''[[Pucca]]'', the Go-Rong restaurant has a "thirty minutes or it's free" policy, so the [[Goldfish Poop Gang|Vagabond Ninjas]] plan to get free Ja-Jang Noodles by making deliverygirl Pucca late. One of the attempts were to disguise themselves as a dragon. {{spoiler|They eventually succeed, but get arrested for impersonating a dragon, and the police officer gets their noodles.}}

* On ''[[Chowder]]'', Chowder and Schnitzel had to deliver an order before sundown or else it was free. The customer lived on top of a giant. They finally make it just before sunset, but the customer delays them until the time is up. Then the giant helps them out by walking west until the sun was up again.

** The "138th Episode Spectacular" contains an outtake from the "Devil and Homer Simpson" segment of "Treehouse of Horror IV", in which Marge hires lawyer [[Ambulance Chaser|Lionel Hutz]] to represent Homer after seeing a Yellow Pages ad in which Hutz promises "Your case won in thirty minutes or your pizza's free". At the end of the clip, Hutz gives Marge a pizza box; when she points out that they actually ''did'' win the case, he tells her the box is empty anyway.

** There's also the time Homer ran a break-up service: "We're there in thirty minutes, or your next break-up is free!"

* In ''[[The Batman]]'', Joker once ambushed someone by waiting outside their door dressed like a pizza boy. When the victim phoned for pizza, his reply was that it would be there in thirty ''seconds'' or it was free before immediately knocking on the door.

* ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'': A ridiculously intricate version was done in "Stand and Delivery" where a mysterious customer keeps ordering food from Battle Snax and delaying the order so he'll get it for free, almost running the Magnusson family out of business.

* ''[[The New Woody Woodpecker Show]]'' has an episode where Woody tried to delay Dooley so his pizza would be free. His efforts not only failed, but also ruined the pizza. When Woody tried to protest, Dooley said he guaranteed delivery, not satisfaction. Because Woody didn't have the money to pay for the pizza, Dooley had him work off the debt as a delivery boy.
