* After Roy and Helen escape Hell Vision, their reunion with their children get interrupted when they discover Rivets, their neighbor's dog in their yard, who make a bee-line towards the Knables as Roy shields his family.

Yep, the animated segment directed by the legendary Creator/ChuckJones has enough of these moments, it warrants its own section.

Completely reworked the page. Added more examples, seperated moments from the cartoon segment into its own section, and added a Meta moment.


* Typically when they end up on a show, even after getting [[MacGuffin the remote control]], they at least wait to see what is going on before they try to escape. Our hero (played by John Ritter) ends up on [[ActorAllusion what is obviously the set of]] ''Series/ThreesCompany''. He sees the girls, who ask "Where have you ''been''?!", hears the theme song, ''[[AsideGlance screams at the camera]]'', and immediately changes channels.

-->'''Roy:''' Boy, this is strange!
-->'''Helen:''' Strange? I'm a cartoon mouse wearing high-heel running shoes. [[{{Understatement}} The word "strange" is somewhat lacking.]]
** Roy [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom thinks Helen looks "rather sexy" as a mouse]].
** During that segment, we briefly cut back to Mr. Spike's "control room", where one of the electronic notice boards says "Remember, Tuesday is Saddam Hussein Appreciation Day."

* Typically when they end up on a show, even after getting [[MacGuffin the remote control]], they at least wait to see what is Darryl and Diane's introduction. The Knables are going on before they try to escape. Our hero (played by John Ritter) ends up on [[ActorAllusion what is obviously through the set of]] ''Series/ThreesCompany''. He sees morning routines (Roy shaving in the girls, who ask "Where have you ''been''?!", hears bathroom, Helen doing exercises in the theme song, ''[[AsideGlance screams at bedroom) which also involves watching TV. Over in Darryl's room, he activates a machine that allows him to hack into the camera]]'', and immediately changes channels.

** Roy [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom thinks * After Helen looks "rather sexy" fails to convince Roy to go away with her, she begins to storm away. However, an idea sparks in her head when she spots Roy's fencing trophy. She walks over to it, picks it up, and does this:

** His subsequent response? He watches TV usimg the small TV from the bathroom, placed ''right on top of the broken TV''.
* When Darryl and Diane first discover Hell Vision, the first thing they see on the TV is a promo for [[Series/LifestylesOfTheRichAndFamous Autopsies of the Rich and Famous]]. Darryl is amazed. Diane? [[{{Squick}} Not so much.]]
* After Darryl narrowly avoids being sucked into the dish, Diane comes out to the backyard and sees him. This exchange ensues:
-->'''Diane:''' What are you doing?
-->'''Darryl:''' Did you see that? (''points at dish'') That dish, it ate my BMX.
-->'''Diane:''' (''speaks in a condescending tone'') Is this some kind of male puberty thing?

Yep, the animated segment directed by the legendary Creator/ChuckJones has enough of these moments, it warrants its own section.

* When Roy and Helen discover they've become mice:
-->'''Roy:''' Boy, this is strange!
-->'''Helen:''' Strange? I'm an animated rodent wearing high-heel running shoes. [[{{Understatement}} The word "strange" is somewhat lacking.]]
** Immediately after, Roy proceeds to blow a raspberry...only for Helen to grab his tongue and yank his entire body from the neck down out from his mouth. Roy gives a look at the camera as Helen immediately lets go, slingshotting him into a nearby fridge, crashing on contact.
* When Roy gets trapped in a donut while Robo-Cat shoots at him. While struggling to get free, Roy [[BreakingTheFourthWall turns to the camera and says this]] as everything around him freezes in place:
-->'''Roy:''' My doctor was right. Donuts ''will'' be the death of me!
* Roy [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom thinks Helen looks "rather sexy" as a mouse]]. Helen is not impressed.
-->'''Helen:''' Too bad you didn't like the way I looked when I was human.
-->'''Roy:''' I ''always'' did.
* How is Robo-Cat defeated? The GenreSavvy Roy puts his knowledge of cartoons to use and [[InstantHomeDelivery writes a letter to The ACME Company, and throws it into the mailbox.]] What did Roy order? A Robo-Dog. Robo-Cat's [[ThisIsGonnaSuck reaction is what you'd expect]].
-->'''Robo-Cat:''' Identify yourself.
-->'''Robo-Dog:''' Catnip-gram.
** Although it's not readily apparent due to the image cutting it off, [[FreezeFrameBonus if you pay close attention to the Robo-Dog, you may notice that its license on the collar reads]] [[PrepareToDie "You're dead."]]
