* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "Two Buckets", Finn discovers his new robot arm was designed by Princess Bubblegum to have DoAnythingRobot levels of functionality as dictated by voice commands. However, once he switches it on, he has trouble switching it off, and it responds to everything he says. This bites him in the butt when [[spoiler:his grass clone, Fern, is trying to kill him, but Finn is trying to talk him down in a rare [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight I Know I'M In There Somewhere Fight]]. In his pleas for peace, he unfortunately uses the word "finality", which the arm interprets as "fatality" and [[AccidentalMurder goes for the kill]].]]
