* During the 2016 Wrestling/RoyalRumble, [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]] made his entrance into the ring ''after'' inexplicably pulling out a ladder from under the canvas, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint evidently confused as to what kind of match he was joining]] and [[WrongGenreSavvy thinking it was a ladder match]]. As R-Truth set the ladder up in the middle of the ring, every other wrestler stopped what they were doing to stare in confusion as to what R-Truth was even trying to accomplish -- it was only when he realized there was no briefcase waiting for him and he climbed down that Wrestling/{{Kane}} tossed him out for the elimination.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'': The battle between Simba’s pride and Zira’s has been raging with the Pridelanders seemingly on the backfoot against the Outsiders. Simba, weakened from an earlier ambush, is being savaged by almost ALL of the Outsiders who’ve been explicitly trained to attack like this by Zira, who then issues her personal challenge to him. Simba doesn’t miss the challenge and tosses ALL of the Outsiders off him, swiping at a few more, and is then struck by Zira when he is distracted. This successful attack actually causes Pridelander and Outsider alike to stop what they’re doing and gape in shock at the first blow between the two leaders, a successful hit against the seemingly unbeatable Simba, no less. They then form a circle to watch Simba and Zira face off for their final duel, what the entire decades long feud has been building towards. Luckily, Kiara and Kovu arrive and defuse the stand-off.
