Can be done from the perspective of the irate customer or the put-upon delivery guy -- who may well have his job dependent on getting there in time.

* A [[Cartoon Network]] short titled ''Pizza Boy in: No Tip!'' revolved around a delivery boy trying to deliver to the Arctic Circle within five minutes.

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.
