* In one ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' comic, the AlphaBitch of Jonathan Crane's school once suckered him in to one of these so that her JerkJock boyfriend could ritually humiliate him. Since Jonathan Crane later grew up to be [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGallery the Scarecrow]], this came back to bite them both on the ass very, ''very'' badly.
* Peter is set up by [[JerkJock Flash]] and some classmates this way in an issue of ''ComicBook/MarvelAdventures ComicBook/SpiderMan'', where they trick him into believing he has a date with Liz Allan. This ends up being subverted where, whilst it was still a prank, when Liz learns she's less than amused and decides to go on a date with Peter anyway.
