* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': Being a show set in a performing arts school, many episodes deal with the main characters putting on plays. Most of the time, these go wrong. Some notable examples include:
** In one episode, Tori tries to help Cat in a class about applying monster make-up to actors. This results in Tori getting make-up put on her face that makes her look like a zombie. However, Cat isn't able to get the make-up off before Tori has to perform in a play, forcing her to perform while looking like a zombie. Tori is able to get the make-up off partway through the play and the audience assumes the make-up was [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolic]] of inner beauty.
** In another episode, Tori has to give blood before a play where she's starring as the lead. Jade, her understudy, [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank sabotages the blood donation]] so that Tori can't perform and she can get the part. In the end, Tori is too weak from the blood donation that she collapses on stage.
** While performing a stunt for a play, Trina's harness malfunctions and she's sent flying across the stage. As a result, she's hospitalized.
