Since I don't watch Childrens Hospital, I don't know if it is full of Anti-Humor, but I don't think the given example works as one. It's sets you up to expect a regular event, then gives you something else. That's just a joke. Anti Humor would be if they somehow set it up that the doctor was going to pinch the girl and then just gave her the shot.

Agreed. I've removed it, and there wasn't really any other content in the example that justified keeping it.
Not sure if this is an example or not — it's a subversion of a punchline that's been heavily set up, would that count?
In a Modern Family episode where the family goes to Australia, Claire repeatedly refers to a project she's working on as her "baby". When it gets stolen out of her tent by a dingo, she panics:
- Claire: A wild dog took my laptop!
Alex: Seems like a missed opportunity...
Thank you everybody. Finding good examples of Anti Humor in media isn't exactly easy and I was afraid when I first launched it that it would be deemed relevant enough to remain.

Would this count additionally in the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" section?
My family doesn't get this one: Why do rainbows arc?
