* ''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]'' opening has vinyl records fall and shatter on the ground. The opening has remained the same all the time the show has existed, although different record covers are occasionally shown. This is probabbly in homage to the ''[[Top of the Pops]]'' example above.

* In ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'', on a dare, Vince bites into one of Howard's records and breaks it into pieces.

* In the ''[[M*A*S*H ~~(TV)~~|Mash]]'' finale, Major Winchester breaks the classical record he was listening to after {{spoiler|he finds out the band he had formed got killed in an ambush.}} This may or may not be an example of the trope; in 1953, when the Korean War ended, large-diameter shellac records were still quite common.

* The ''[[~~Barney and Friends (TV)|~~Barney and Friends]]'' episode "Practice Makes Music" has a scene where Tina accidentally drops three 45-RPM records onto the ground, and they shatter into many pieces as if they were shellac (though they do use the appropriate "crunch!" sound of a vinyl record being broken.) Barney then uses his magic to restore things, by turning the three destroyed 45s into one large LP! "Ta-da! Good as new!" he announces, and when the record is played, it switches between the three former discs' tracks in the middle of each song.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "The Itchy And Scratchy Movie" has Bart breaking records for kicks.
