* In ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', "Sludge Monster from the Earth's Core", as a part of the gang's trap to capture the monster, Scooby was to spray the monster with a garden hose, but is tossed around when the hose is turned on and the plan fails.
* Going back nineteen years, the ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'' episode "A Clue For Scooby Doo" has the gang on a barge setting a trap for the ghost of Captain Cutler using a fire hose and a container with soap. When it gets turned on, the hose slips out of Fred and Daphne's collective grips, leaving Shaggy riding it like a bucking mustang.
* Happens quite frequently in WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes. Most of the characters have had this happen to them at one time or another. "Chaser on the Rocks" sees the Coyote smashed into the wall of a cliff as a result of one.

* Used on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in "Last Exit to Springfield", when Mr. Burns tried to use a fire hose to break up striking workers.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Da Boom", as mayor of New Quahog, Peter distributes jobs to the citizens. In one of them, he assigns an old woman to be part of the fire department, and this happens when the hose is turned on.

This is incredibly common in cartoons. It's been featured in nearly every animated children's show to ever air on TV, from WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, to Franchise/ScoobyDoo. There are many variations on this, ranging from the hose simply being inexplicably powerful, to it being the fault of another charater, who rigged it to happen. Occasionally this can cross over with GardenHoseSquirtSurprise, depending on the amount of characters in the scene.
