You Are Grounded: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'': Not so much grounded as she was put under house arrest, Sam sneaks out to save Danny—currently brainwashed by [[Evil Albino|Freakshow]]—and is praised (along with her friends) by her parents for capturing the villain...But they're still grounded.

** In "Fanning the Flames", Jack and Maddie are outraged by their kids' behavior—Danny for being lovesick, Jazz for being obsessed with Ember. They are both grounded. Which is better [[wikipedia:Iron maiden (torture device)|than what their punishment could have been]].

* Happent to Beezy on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes|Jimmy Two Shoes]]''. Unfortunately, in Miseryville, [[Not So Harmless Punishment|it means being]] [[Buried Alive]]. In a sandbox.

* The ''[[Adventure Time]]'' episode "Hitman" has Finn grounding the Ice King for 4 weeks (at first it's 2 but the Ice King argues with him causing it to escalate to 4) after he goes princess stalking again. At the end of the episode we get a [[The Dog Bites Back|Dog Bites Back]] ending with the Ice King sitting on Finn and Jake waiting for them to thaw out after he froze them earlier and tells them "[[Ironic Echo|You're grounded. Underneath my butt!]]".

** Also subverted similarly during Valentine's Day. The occasion of the grounding being removed (what else do you call it? "expired"?) is cause for a celebration, which probably ought to get him grounded a second time.

* An episode of Phailhaus from the ''[[Loading Ready Run]]'' crew pulls this when the Word of the Day was 'condign'.

** Worth noting; this timeout lasted ''a year.'' }}
