Line 120:
* Subverted in ''[[Futurama]]'' when it looks like Elzar is about to propose this—but has the gang arrested instead. It's only as they're being carted off that Bender suggests working it off and Elzar agrees to "give it a shot". Double subverted as Bender later quits to join the Robot Mafia, and Elzar's response? "'Kay."
* ''[[The Perils of Penelope Pitstop]]'', episode "Bad Fortune in a Chinese Fortune Cookie": After Chugaboom damages the restaurant, the Ant Hill Mob have to work as waiters and dishwashers.
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Bart Simpson]] has worked as both a carnie and a burlesque house doorman, and possibly more.
** Lisa worked as a living ''iPod'' advertising board to pay for her iTunes downloads. [[Spoof Aesop|That's what you get for downloading music legally]].
* In ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', Helga wins a coupon to a fancy French restaurant. When it comes time to pay the bill, it turns out that the coupon was for the fancy French restaurant across the street with a very similar name.
