* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': When [[DefectorFromDecadence Lilith]] begins to learn glyph magic in Season 2, she expresses great excitement at [[AGoodOldFashionedPaintWatching watching the paint dry]] on the glyphs she inscribed. She also finds the evolution of balusters across the ages to be fascinating.

** Martin Prince is an uber-super-duper-nerd to a degree that hits this. That thing about the cardboard box factory visit mentioned above? He's the ''only'' student that is enthusiastic about going there. In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E19GradeSchoolConfidential "Grade School Confidential"]] his parents hire a magic-themed mathematician for his birthday party instead of an actual magician. Even ''Lisa'' thinks the party is too boring and pretends to have food poisoning just to have an excuse to leave.

** Seymour Skinner is this trope personified. When Bart forgets his field trip permission slip, he has Bart lick envelopes all day and suggests to make a game out of it by counting how many he can lick in an hour and then try to beat that record. It's so dull that it makes ''time go slower and skip backwards one second.'' He also believes ''a box factory'' is a perfectly good place to take the students to...'''repeatedly'''. And on the episode "Skinner's Sense of Snow", when all of the teachers refuse to teach because it's a snow day, he forces all of the kids to see a movie called ''"The Christmas That Almost Wasn't But Then Was"'' that is, from what little we (mercifully) see and the kids' reaction to it (that Skinner doesn't care about--''he'' enjoys the movie), the very definition InUniverse of "DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible".

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'': A character in strip [[http://xkcd.com/324/ #324 finds]] that tapping different parts of a desk results in different pitches. "So what did you do all afternooon?" "Hung out."
** Subverted in the TitleText. "Sometimes the best fun looks like boredom."

** While attempting to convince [=SpongeBob=] to come outside in "I Had an Accident", Sandy and Patrick list various fun activities. One of Patrick's suggestions? [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Washing an old person]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In "Vampire Disco Death Dance", Tina's friends invent a game called "drinking or not drinking", where you make people guess if you're drinking through a straw or just pretending. Her family members think the game is incredibly boring, but her friends think their game is wonderful, to the point where they sit in a theater's lobby playing rather than watch the movie they bought tickets to.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'': In "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS2E1ThePatrickShowCashesInStarGames The Patrick Show Cashes In]]", the kids in the [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Bobby Babbington]] toy commercial have fun using it to fill out paperwork. It also comes with its own built-in pen and stapler, which are highlighted as awesome features.

* Website/NobodyHere: "[[https://nobodyhere.com/justme/peace.here Peace]]" is a memory of Jogchem as a kid in which he suggested to his friends that they play "peace", where they throw their weapons (sticks, rocks, a water pistol, a plastic tube, darts) to the ground and then leave in peace. This is [[DefiedTrope defied]] upon realizing that his friends found the game boring--he then suggested setting the weapons on fire, much to their enthusiasm.
