WesternAnimation example: On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', this seems to be a RunningGag of sorts (at least on ''Treehouse Of Horror'' episodes:
* One ''Treehouse Of Horror'' episode involves the Simpsons family getting a monkey's paw and them using it to get wishes which are twisted somehow. Lisa wishes for world peace... and this makes humanity not only go for full disarmament, but they become so puny that ''two aliens armed with slingshots'' are capable of taking over the world.
* Another ''Treehouse Of Horror'' has her managing to campaign for the full disarmament of Springfield after reading a tombstone's epitaph ("I wish we lived in a world without guns"). Turns out that the man that the headstone belonged to was Billy The Kid, and once Springfield is completely without guns he and various other outlaws ([[AndZoidberg and one German Kaiser]]) come back from the dead and raise hell, completely unstoppable by the fact that they are the only people with guns in the whole town.
* A third ''Treehouse'' episode has Bart and Lisa going to Marge and telling her that [[IAmAHumanitarian the teachers at Springfield Elementary are eating the students]] and treating them like cattle to fatten and slaughter, and Marge's only proposed solution to the problem [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath is for the kids to look at the teachers straight in the eye and tell them "don't eat me"]]. [[KillThemAll They are both killed the following day]].
