** In the second part of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" Kent Brockman, in universe as news anchor but out of universe as a recap, reports on Mr. Burns being shot.
--->At 3:00 p.m. Friday, local autocrat C. Montgomery Burns was shot following a tense confrontation at town hall. Burns was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "alive."
** In another ''Simpsons'' episode Homer is telling a flashback story of when Maggie was born; when Homer finds out that Marge is pregnant his head explodes.  We then find out that Bart had been narrating that part.
--->Homer: Oh, you're pregnant! That means we're gonna have to have a baby. All our financial plans are ruined! We're doomed! Doomed, I tells ya!
--->''[He lets out a scream as his head swells like a balloon and then pops. Cut to the present]''
--->Marge Simpson: Bart, let your father tell the story! 
--->Homer: Yeah! 
--->Bart: Okay, but I know funny. 
:::The flashback continues for a moment with Homer headless; after Marge reminds him that he had a head his head pops back up
:::Later in the same episode Homer tells of an idea he had to make more people come to the bowling ally - shoot a rifle in the air while shouting "Bowling here!"
--->Lisa: ''[in the present]'' Mom, make Dad tell the story right! 
--->Marge: [[SubvertedTrope That's what really happened.]]
