* ''[[South Park]]'': The latest fad in Chinpokomon, which Kyle gets too late in the game. By that time, the rest of the kids are going to bomb Pearl Harbor because all the other kids are doing it, but then they get de-fadded because their parents (pretend to) like it, and who likes something their parents like? But Kyle wasn't there (again) when everybody decided to stop liking Chinpokomon.

* In ''[[The Angry Beavers]]'', Norbert forgets to chew to keep his teeth short and when his forest friends discover his long dentures, they all follow suit with it. The same goes for Dagget later, and they both suffer for it by having their teeth grow long enough to bind them.

* ''~Dexter's Laboratory~'' featured an episode where Dexter's glasses get cracked and the kids take notice on how awesome they are, so they start wearing glasses with broken lenses. Unfortunately, the temporary popularity boosts distances Dexter away from his friend with whom he sat next to on the bus. It didn't take too long until Mandark's body cast became the next center of attention.

* In one of the later episodes of ''[[Madeline]]'', a fashion designer named Madame Cliché (who tends to make rather bizarre clothes) creates designer clothing made entirely out of cheese, which quickly becomes the hottest thing in Paris. It doesn't last due to the fact that the clothes are made entirely out of a common dairy product. In addition, the musical number featured in the same episode ''itself'' is a Trend Aesop with the standard [[Be Yourself]] message to back it up.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' did it in "Simpson Tide", in which Milhouse gets an earring that everyone else in school thinks is cool, so everyone starts getting one. Bart gets his, much to Homer's outrage. Bart later gives Homer the earring before embarking on a nuclear submarine with the Naval Reserve. The earring ends up becoming the [[Chekhov's Gun]] that saves the submarine from sinking.
