* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' features the name that makes almost everyone cringe, Nasty Burger, a name of a diner (After some vandals changed the T to a N, so the name used to be Tasty Burger). No one knows why the sign was never fixed. The burgers however have a sordid history of exploding in very hot climates.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Vagatha (and her nickname "Vaggie") both bring to mind the word "vagina", which is briefly mocked by another character in the pilot episode.

** Something very similar happened in the episode ''Donnie Fatso'', where Moe Syszlak got a call requesting for a "Yuri Nater", and called out to the patrons asking for him, with predictable results. However, it wasn't a prank call, as the caller did actually intend to speak with a person by that name (the man in question was the caller's Russian business associate), and the person Moe was implied to have chewed out on for it was actually Fat Tony, the mafia underboss.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Trash Boat", Rigby legally changes his name to [[LineOfSightName Trash Boat]], which turns him into the town's laughingstock. This also leads a rockstar named The Urge to try to murder him for usurping his popularity (which is ironic, considering the fact that The Urge was the entire reason Rigby changed his name in the first place).
