Hilarity Ensues is no longer a trope.

** Timmy's dad buys a cool car that he doesn't allow Timmy to ride in. HilarityEnsues when Timmy wishes to be said car. The reason his father doesn't let him ride in the car is because [[spoiler: it's VERY lacking in safety features, and while he realizes how dumb he's being by driving it around, he wouldn't endanger his son by letting him ride in it.]] So it's kind of cute, in a weird way.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'':
** Bob Parr buys a black sports car with the money he's earning with secret superhero work (the idea that he's going through a mid-life crisis is brought up in the movie). This becomes a ChekhovsGun when [[spoiler:he uses it to destroy Syndrome's plane at the end.]] Of course by that stage he's reconnected with his family, so it's no longer CompensatingForSomething.

* Referenced twice in ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' when both Roger and Andy were having difficulties with aging. In one arc, Roger got a toupee and Andy worried it was a sign of him hiding aging insecurities, mentioning this trope as another possible step. Later, when Andy turned 42 and had her own mid-life crisis, she briefly considered getting a Ferrari before she moved past it.

** Bob is ''definitely'' showing signs of a mid-life crisis, but on the other hand ... prior to that he's a ''huge'' man driving a [[TheAllegedCar tiny car]], so replacing that car once he can afford to do so is just practical. Replacing it with a sports car (as opposed to a sedan) is purely this trope, though.
