* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFearlessFour'', the truck that was carrying Fred to the sausage factory gets attacked by some wasps. Not only does this cause the truck to free Fred, but to accidentally hit a signpost that pointed to the directions of Bremen and Paris, thus making the two respective signs switch positions. Afterwards, Fred meets Buster and the two decide to follow the sign that seemingly leads to Paris, when in reality it does so to Bremen. Later, Gwendolyn and Tortellini end up joining the two, thus following said wrong direction as well.

* ''WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois'': In the episode with the 1890s automobile racing, one group is ahead of the pack, and decides to mess everyone behind by adjusting a road sign to Bordeaux. However, the previous scene showed the sign being spun by a breeze, and the cheaters actually correct the sign before going down the wrong road.

* In one ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' sequence, Jason and Marcus strike out into the wilds of suburbia in search of adventure (wearing pith helmets, no less). Along their way they encounter the streets of "Maple" and "Oak;" Maple Street is lined with oak trees and Oak Street is lined with maples. Helpfully, they decide to switch the street signs around to correct the error, but wind up attracting the attention of the police in the process.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'' had an episode where Bulma was fleeing from General Blue through an abandoned pirate hideout. She came to an intersection and drew an arrow on the ground in dust to tell Goku which way she went, but Blue got to it first and changed it to point the opposite direction.

* ''Anime/DottoKoniChan'' had an episode making a full ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' homage, so naturally this gag wouldn't be passed off. Koni's friends plan to do this at an Y-shaped fork to send everyone off-track, but Koni sneezes and turns the arrow around, then Koni's friends (who didn't see it) turn it back to normal. They get back on their car and drive in the opposite way and [[EpicFail end up crashing down a cliff]].
