* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'' Nitz has stupidly told Kimmy Burton that he has a travel clock with an assload of features. While he's trying to find a clock to buy on the internet Rocko shows up and has nowhere else to go. Rocko decides the two of them should spend Friday night getting wasted rather than looking for a clock. Nitz doesn't drink and spends the whole night worrying about the clock. When he wakes up an hour before he meets Kimmy to give it to her he realizes he's fucked and Gimpy tells him to relax and it's on its way. When it arrives he goes to get ready to meet Kimmy. But since it's a travel clock designed for different timezones the alarm goes off waking up a hungover Rocko. Nitz returns to the room to find Rocko smashing it with a bat.

The final time, all the viewer hears is an irritated growl, a DramaticGunCock, and an explosion.

As if noisy alarm wasn't enough, Bev Bighead orders Ed to shut the alarm off by ''completely demolishing the car'', and the smashing sounds don't help Rocko either.
