* RealityEnsues: The second version of the ''Frosty the Snowman'' short has the kids freaking out when their snowman comes to life.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{CatDog}}'': The title character is reduced to a backgrounder with no speaking lines, and no one else appears.[[note]]Although considering {{CatDog}} had already been cancelled for nearly a year by the time these promos were made, the show is probably lucky to be have been featured at all.[[/note]]

* NotHisSled: Near the end of "How the You-Know-Who Stole You-Know-What!", after stealing all the chocolate candy from the other Nicktoons, Angelica, as "Grinchelica" begins to think about the Nicktoons having nothing at all.
