Line 87:
** A [[Running Gag]] is that people assume that Binky hates reading. This is even why Arthur assumes that he is the only kid who couldn't have stolen his library copy of ''The Mysterious Hand''. Turns out that Binky enforces this trope, as he hides any books he's reading behind comics and tries to hide his interests in botany.
** Despite the fact that Mr. Ratburn is an ordinary guy, just a [[Stern Teacher]], the kids in season one believe for a while that he eats nails for breakfast that come in a cereal box and hates the screws.
** D.W. for a long time blames Arthur for her snowball disappearing, even though it turns out he had nothing to do with it. Arthur, of course, keeps reminding D.W. of
** As turnabout is fair play, one episode duology has D.W. mistakenly thinking that green potato chips are poison, thanks to Arthur and Buster trolling her. The second episode has the whole town finding out, just when D.W. is trying to prove she's mature enough to attend a comedy show. She worries about people bringing it up when she's running for ''president'' in an [[Imagine Spot]]. While she blames Arthur for spreading the story, turns out it was their mother who told their neighbors and Bitsy, who works at the paper.
** The same episode had Buster tell D.W., in an attempt to comfort her, that one time his mother Bitsy called him "Boo Boo" in front of his third grade class, and naturally he was teased about it.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''
** Sokka won't let Aang forget the time the Avatar made him and Katara suck on frozen frogs when they were sick.
** Book 3 has Katara hold a grudge against Zuko for a long time for {{spoiler|betraying her in Ba Sing Se. When he switches sides proper, it takes four episodes for him to earn her forgiveness.}}
* ''[[The Legend of Korra]]''
* ''[[DuckTales (2017)|Ducktales]]'' shows this in "The Impossible Summit of Mount Neverrest" and deconstructs it; the reason why Scrooge is determined to reach the top of Mount Neverrest, even as he battles with common sense and the need to protect the kids is that {{spoiler|he was the Neverrest Ninny that George Mallardy cut loose a long time ago, and who was blamed for Mallardy's disappearance}}. Huey gets through to him by pointing out that {{spoiler|no one knows who the Neverrest Ninny was, let alone ''caring'' about ninnies these days.}}▼
** Mako for a long time isn't allowed to forget how he badly handled his relationships with Asami and Korra. While Asami forgives Korra for kissing Mako while the latter was dating Asami, she is mad at Mako for keeping it a secret. Book Two shows Mako's decisions getting dumber. During the Book Four recap of this, even Prince Wu calls out Mako for his idiocy.
* ''[[DuckTales (2017)|Ducktales]]''
** Donald can't live down the fact that he is [[Born Unlucky]]; in fact, in an episode where the Phantom Blot steals his luck, it's revealed to be a genuine force of chaos. Scrooge mentions offhand he got trapped in the pantry for a week and is still there when Webby sees signs of a struggle in the kitchen.

** Scrooge can't quite forgive his ex Goldie for ditching him every time it benefits her. She doesn't help her case in the present when they go on a few adventures with [[Team-Clenched Teamwork]], or Louie attempts to run a scam with her at Doofus Drake's birthday party. Unlike in the comic where he kidnapped her and made her work for him after she robbed him, Scrooge had legitimately done nothing to Goldie to earn her [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]].
** Season two deals with the [[Elephant in the Living Room]] after {{spoiler|Della Duck returns to Earth. No one wants to bring up or face the fact that she abandoned the triplets for adventure, and that it was her own pride that caused her to be stranded on the moon for so long. Eventually, however, Louie reaches a [[Rage Breaking Point]] and calls her a hypocrite when he nearly permanently damages time and she grounds him, and Donald calls her a "big dummy" when they reunite. After that, it's harder for her to live it down. Season three has Donald's wish for "normal family adventures" cause her to talk about being on the moon as a [[Running Gag]] in a sitcom land. The series finale has her upset that Donald wants to go on a romantic vacation with Daisy, but Donald doesn't even have to point out that it's rich of ''her'' to beg him not to go.}}
* ''[[Rick and Morty]]'' features a few of these with the title characters:
** Season 1 Jerry {{spoiler|from dimension C636 and being Morty's original Jerry}} won't let it slide that Beth is a horse surgeon and not a human one in the pilot.
** Jerry brings up that it's ridiculous Rick is scared of an ocean deity when he "fucked a planet" in "Mort Dinner Rick Andre". Rick has a sour look when the former mentions that.
** Season five also has Rick lampshade that the show will never live down {{spoiler|Naruto Smith, aka Morty and Summer's "Incest Baby". Thankfully, season six at least left him drifting in space after the family hopped dimensions.}}
* ''[[Futurama]]''
** Leela once slept with Zapp Brannigan, a [[Jerkass]] [[Abhorrent Admirer]], in a [[Moment of Weakness]]. He never lets her live it down, considering it one of his greatest moments. Which makes it serious that the one time {{spoiler|she tried seducing him after he started dating her mother, Zapp refused her advances}}.
** Fry can never quite live down the fact that, to maintain a [[Stable Time Loop]], he is his own grandfather. Other people tend to bring it up at inconvenient times.
