Teen character is grounded or suspended at an inopportune time (usually near the end of Act 2). Often, the parent or principal doing the punishing doesn't have an exceptional reason, or just has a sense that the teen is out of control and needs to calm down.

* ''[[Dexters Laboratory (Animation)|Dexters Laboratory]]'': In the episode "The Old Switcharooms", the title character suffers this at the hands of his dad, who makes him switch rooms with Dee Dee as a punishment for running into him (causing his bowling trophy to break). The episode then goes down south, when Dad condemns his son to the doghouse. Dexter assumes their dog won't do much harm to his lab...after which the scene cuts to the dog flooding the place with nuclear waste.
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy (Animation)|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'': Referenced in the above quote, an entire episode involved Edd and Eddy attempting to bust a grounded Ed out of his house. However, it all goes south when they are found out, and the episode ends with all the boys grounded.
{{quote| '''Eddy''': This stinks. I got grounded forever. Over.<br />
'''Edd''': Three days for me, Eddy. A little quality time with my ants and some...<br />

** Also used in the movie. Remember the Mole: "You realize that by doing zis, we could be grounded for two, maybe even three weeks."
* In an episode of the PBS show ''[[Word Girl (Animation)|Word Girl]]'', the main character's parents hire a babysitter who just happens to be one of the villains--Granny May. Granny May quickly sends Becky and her brother straight to bed, then sneaks out to commit her crimes, hoping to use babysitting as her alibi. Becky suspects she's up to no good and transforms into WordGirl, chasing after Granny May. However, every time Becky's brother leaves his room, a sensor that Granny May had placed goes off, causing BOTH the hero and the villain to have to race back to the house and pretend as if they had been where they were supposed to be the entire time.
** Another episode featured her being grounded by her [[Bumbling Dad]], who was surprisingly competent at keeping her in her room, forcing her [[Non
* This happens to Will ''all the time'' in ''[[WITCH (Animation)|WITCH]]'', as her mom gets stricter as the series goes on. Because the series is [[An Arc|arc-based]], Will's groundings usually carry over between episodes, to the point where by about the mid-point of season one, she's perpetually grounded. Seeing as how the consequence of staying home (the girls' powers depend on Will being there to transform them) are nothing less than ''the end of the world'', Will usually just sneaks out of her room anyway, accepting the consequences of being grounded as [[Family
* [[Ben 10 Alien Force (Animation)|Ben Tennyson]] ends up grounded by his rather hippie-esque and permissive parents...not only from leaving the house without permission, but also from using the Omnitrix.
** If memory serves correctly, this was because (A) he lied to them multiple times, (B) he snuck out multiple times, and (C) he was fighting aliens [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|without their permission]].
*** Eventually he gets fed up when Kevin is in danger and needs his help. He points out that his parents simply don't have the power to enforce their punishment (and the only reason it works is because he's already a basically good kid to start with), transforms, and jumps out the window.
* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius (Animation)|Jimmy Neutron]]''. All the time. For starters, in the pilot episode.
