* ''Literature/BruceCovillesBookOf Nightmares II'': Late in ''Gone to Pieces'', when Roy and Scott are being reassembled, they have to be glued and taped together.

* ''Literature/TheBerenstainBearsBigChapterBooks'':
** Twice in ''The Berenstain Bears and the Showdown at Chainsaw Gap''
*** Early on, Barry Bruin makes up and recites a lame ''poem'' for Babs Bruno ("Roses are red / Violets are blue / Storks have bird legs / ''And so do you!''"). He clearly expects a negative reaction and tries to run away after the last line, but not fast enough to evade the chalkboard erasers that she throws at him.
*** He makes another pun in the Hall of Birds at the Bearsonian Institution when he says he knows what kind of fish birds eat -- "''Flying'' fish!" Half the class laughs, the other half groans. Actual Factual's only reaction is "Ah yes, a witticism. Quite amusing, Barry."
** In ''The Berenstain Bears and the Bermuda Triangle'', when Ferdy's discussing the love triangle between Brother, Bonnie and Bermuda [=McBear=], trying to compare it to an equilateral or an isosceles triangle, Barry says it's neither of them -- it's the ''Bermuda'' Triangle. Ferdy just rolls his eyes, but Trudy and Harry [=McGill=] both crack up. Everyone else is confused until Trudy explains about the real-life [[TheBermudaTriangle Bermuda Triangle]], into which ships mysteriously vanish.

* An implicit, somewhat slyly-given example in ''Literature/StarTrekExMachina''. Two crewmen - an Eeiauoan and a Caitian - are mentioned to have started fighting. Given that both races are feline, we have a literal CatFight. They're told to "groom and make up".
