* In the ''WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI'' episode "A Taste of Space", the challenge is to control the Sun's temperature to cool down X. After having cooled down X, X requests that they make Earth one degree hotter to provide a good temperature for X's aloe vera. Therefore, Firey has to get himself into the Sun's surface to warm up the Sun enough. When his attempt to push himself in there fails, he decides to sabotage the other team and help his own by insulting the members of the other team, the Have Cots, by calling them the Have Crybabies. This makes them push him into the Sun, which ends up making it hotter. However, the plan backfires when rather than making Earth one degree hotter like they planned, it makes it 800 degrees hotter, causing them to lose points for it.
