History DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything / WesternAnimation

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E14BrotherFromTheSamePlanet Brother from the Same Planet]]:

'''Bart:''' Oh yeah? Remember this? "''Higher, dad! '''Higher!''' Wheeeeee... '''WHEEEEEE...'' Push harder, dad, c'mon! Higher! '''Higher!''' Faster!''"\\

'''Horse:''' ''(singing)'' What a gorgeous fancy shmuck!
'''Horse and Wammawink:''' ''[singing]'' Becky, how'd you like them apples...

** The Big Boss Bars in "To Eat or Not to Eat" are highly addictive, which could cause some viewers to think of drug addiction.
*** Binky essentially acts as a drug dealer in the episode, buying out the Sugar Bowl's supply and selling them to students in withdrawal at inflated prices.

** "Figure Not Included" in Season 2 is basically reminiscent of arguments over fan fiction and which fandoms are best when The Major Glory Gang, [[InformedAttribute supposedly Dexter's friends]] but ([[OneShotCharacter who are never seen again after this episode]]), especially during the scene where they're arguing over which Major Glory figure has the best features. Then the next part where the friends argue about the toys being cheap junk seems reminiscent of arguments over Chinese products and quality control, and then the final scene with Major Glory taking Dexter to see his attorney over copyright is reminiscent of arguments over copyleft-vs-copyright and PublicDomain that came about in UsefulNotes/TheNewTens, something that has become particularly notorious as a FlameWar topic as much as politics has.

** In "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E16ALeelaOfHerOwn A Leela of Her Own]]", the other female Blernsball player claiming Leela is actually making it harder for "real women" to succeed resembles relationships between trans and non-trans women.

* Mina's friendship with Trina on ''WesternAnimation/GrojBand'' is somewhat portrayed like an abusive relationship. Mina is very submissive to Trina and obsessed with pleasing her to the point of LesYay, while Trina does nothing but scream and yell at her, force her to do everything her way, and even physically harm her.

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'':
** Irken society is structured around height, to the point that leaders are chosen solely due to being taller than everyone else. This definitely has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightism parallels to real life]].
** Dib using water against Zim in "The Wettening" crosses over into BDSM territory on a few occasions, in particular when he merely opens a tap behind Zim and watches with a growing smirk of satisfaction as he twitches and shudders with every drop that hits the sink. In the same episode, Zim covers himself completely with paste, white and sticky paste.
** The ''first episode'' has a lot of date rape implications. Having just met Zim, Dib decides the most appropriate course of action is to handcuff him. With handcuffs that, in his words, render aliens "completely helpless". Handcuffs that he was carrying with him for the slight possibility that he might encounter an alien. Sleep cuffs, to be exact.
** Zim consistently walks in [[ANaziByAnyOtherName goose step]]. Combined with his love of world-conquering and the Irken tendency to [[FantasticRacism slaughter or enslave most other alien races]], it's surprising Nick was okay with it, considering how often they asked to change other things in the show.

* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'':
** While Mega Man is fighting Proto Man over a gigantic acid spill with only a ridiculously small space to do so, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w6i70ztZKY his first action is to wrap his legs around said the latter's waist while he's lying on top of him.]]
** In another episode, A female makeup robot under Wily's control straps Roll to a chair. Roll tells the robot to let her go, but Wily gives her a ''creepy'' look and goes "Not before I give you the beauty treatment!" Then the cosmetics robot produces an oversized powderpuff from her chest area and tries to smush it in Roll's face. Roll acts like this is the worst thing in the world that could happen to her.

*** "Bridle Gossip" also features the entire town discriminating against Zecora, a zebra who speaks with a foreign accent and has a black (and white) coat.
** In the episode "Lesson Zero", Big Macintosh is holding onto a doll that Twilight enchanted so that anypony that looked at it would desperately want it. First, Big Macintosh got a hold of it, and suddenly everypony from town starts chasing after him for it. They all end up crowding him and piling on top of him for it. Now, if the doll weren't there...
*** How the doll got that way isn't much better: a disheveled, clearly-unstable Twilight Sparkle approached a group of fillies who are close friends playing in the park, offering them a doll, even "enchanting" it when they didn't go for it at first.
*** Later in the episode we see that, once the spell is reversed, everypony stops caring about the doll except Big Macintosh who picks it up and gleefully runs away with it, seeming like a metaphor of the show's PeripheryDemographic.
** [[RealMenWearPink This sort of thing]] is fairly common for Spike, going all the way back to his barely-concealed desire for a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala in the third episode. By far the most evocative incident, however, is the RunningGag throughout "A Canterlot Wedding" wherein he is repeatedly caught [[FandomNod playing with pony dolls]].
** Similarly, "Read It and Weep" has Rainbow Dash initially dismissive of the JustForFun/DaringDo books, reading one out of curiosity, becoming completely obsessed, embarrassed by her obsession and going to absurd lengths to try and hide it from anyone who might tease her. It's basically one huge reference to the [[FanCommunityNicknames "bronies"]], and subcultures in general.

** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay Hearts and Hooves Day]]" is chock full of examples of the romantic variety. The cherry scene shown above is close to the most blatant, but the scene that truly takes the cake is Cheerilee and Big Macintosh [[WhatDidIDoLastNight coming out of their love poisoning, with no memory of how they got there, on a feather bed in the bottom of a pit, with Cheerilee wearing a wedding veil]].

** The changelings behave almost ''exactly'' like [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]], albeit gaining power by [[EmotionEater feeding off of love]] instead of sex. Moreover, their leader, [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen]] [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Chrysalis]], [[spoiler:impersonates the bride-to-be]] in order to "feed" off of Shining Armor, and even [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace gets touchy-feely with him]] during her [[EvilGloating villainous monologue]], as well as sounding borderline ''lustful'' in some lines of her VillainSong, most notably "be a very... lucky bride".
** Pinkie Pie's SanitySlippage in "Party of One" is uncomfortably similar to mental illnesses such as manic-depression and paranoid schizophrenia, complete with drastic personality changes, mood swings, and full-blown hallucinations.
** Conversely, Fluttershy's SanitySlippage in "The Best Night Ever" involves her stalking animals she's trying to force to befriend her, even to the point of trying to trap them in a net. It's remarkably similar to the portrayal of a ClingyJealousGirl and a {{Yandere}}, complete with the line "You're... going to '''''LOVE ME'''''!"

** In "Putting Your Hoof Down" Fluttershy tells another pony to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX6cYgF5RPo "go to the back of the line where you belong!"]] To put it in perspective, [[FantasticRacism Fluttershy's a pegasus, while the addressee is an earth pony (as are all of the other ponies in line that subsequently move to the back)]].
** On the [[HoYay/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Ho Yay page]], there's an image of Twilight Sparkle holding Rainbow Dash's face very close to hers as if she's about to kiss her taken from "Lesson Zero". This wouldn't be ''so'' bad if it weren't for the preceding line:
--->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Oh Rainbow Dash, you don't have to hide your feelings from me.

*** In the same episode, one of the local ponies ask the Mane Six to meet her in a basement where "no pony can see what's about to happen". It didn't help that they were confronted by said pony and two others in a very creepy manner. Thankfully the ponies only wanted to know what it was like to have a cutie mark. [[RapeAsDrama If this show wasn't rated TV-Y...]]

** In "Stranger than Fan Fiction", Rainbow Dash encounters a fellow Daring Do fan who despises anything in the series outside of [[Franchise/StarWars the original trilogy]].
** [[https://derpiboo.ru/1032270 This scene]] from "The Cutie Re-Mark". Everything from Twilight's creepy way of asking Rainbow Dash to do "something" for her and Rainbow Dash's clearly horrified and uncomfortable reaction is reminiscent of a BadSamaritan.

* ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'':
** In one episode Pepper [[TheirFirstTime agonizes over whether she is ready to have her first...]] ''[[FirstKiss kiss]]''.
** One character is caught sneaking into the school bathroom, and Pepper Ann is horrified to find out that she has taken up ''[[NoSmoking gum chewing]]''.

** The grundel is often compared to a pedophile that stalks children. In the age of social media and pedophiles using it to contact and groom children, the parallel is even more obvious. Grundel is a lot like a pedophile in a chat room or on some other social media/chat website or app.

** In "Sven Hoek" Ren goes on a psycho rant where he [[ToThePain describes how he's going to torture Sven and Stimpy]]. Poor Sven and Stimpy are crying and hugging each other, shaking in pure terror, during the whole thing. It can remind some people of how little kids react when they are abused by their parents. Their reactions just sell the scene and make it even more disturbing.

** "Best Friends Forever" was a thinly veiled satire of the media hooplah over the Terri Schiavo case, with a battle against TheLegionsOfHell thrown in for good measure.
** "Red Man's Greed", the history of American colonization and Native American displacement... with roles reversed.

** "Squirrel Jokes" can be interpreted as an allegory for racist and/or sexist jokes.

** The episode " Operation: T.H.E. P.O.I.N.T. "where there's a place where all the teenage couples go. "You go up as a boy, but come home as a man!" It's eleven minutes of sexual innuendo.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondS2E12Babel Babel]]", the villain Shriek (a sound engineer) rewards his assistant by letting him play with a special tuning fork that [[ElectricInstantGratification "stimulates the brain's pleasure center"]]. Ollie enjoys it so much that he winds up lying on the floor, rubbing the fork on his head, moaning sensually and giggling. Watching the scene as an adult, it's hard ''not'' to see the fork as a stand-in for a vibrator.

--->'''Comfortable Doug:''' Rider has a new horsey.
--->'''Horse:''' New...horse?
--->'''Comfortable Doug:''' Oh yes. Becky Apples is her comfortable name, she is magnificent.
--->'''Horse:''' [[TranquilFury Becky Apples]].
--->'''Horse and Wammawink:''' ''(singing)'' Becky Apples, Becky Apples
--->'''Horse:''' ''(singing)'' What a gorgeous fancy shmuck
--->'''Horse and Wammawink:''' ''(singing)'' Becky how'd you like them apples
--->'''Horse:''' ''(singing)'' Cause i think your apples suck.

** Steven's reaction to the [[ShipSink sinking of the Lars Sadie ship]] in WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture seems to be referencing how some fans react when their favourite ships get sunk: taking it personally and feeling that they were entitled to some level of input in to how the ship pans out.

** A non-innuendo-laden variant pops up in the episode "Troq", dealing with the FantasticRacism the character-of-the-day has against Starfire's race. At one point while discussing it with Cyborg, she asks him if he knows what it's like to be judged because of how he looks. He tells her "of course I do", claiming it's because he's part-robot - keep in mind, though, that he's also black.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a scene in "Caged Tiger" where Beast Boy [[PottyFailure wets himself in a stopped elevator.]] The sounds he makes when he relieves himself tend to sound like those made by a different bodily function.
* The Sword of Omens in ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''. It's a weapon that Lion-O was given as a child, but he could not use it properly until he reached puberty (partially due to its full size). When he waves it around, it grows longer and longer until, with a great shout of "Ho!", its ''eye opens'' and a white beam shoots out.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' episode "Flirty Birdy" the male eagle's response to seeing a crossdressing Tom is to stretch his neck out with wide eyes, tongue hanging out, and the feathers on his neck move up almost like a penis going hard would look like when aroused.

** Lockdown's introductory episode sees Flashback!Ratchet wake up on Lockdown's operating table and look in horror at the hole in his arm where his EMP generator used to be. It's all framed like someone waking up to realize they've been drugged and had their organs harvested.

* In the GrandFinale of ''Transformers: WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', DarkActionGirl Blackarachnia borrows Rattrap's rather lengthy sword for a mechanical purpose and swiftly snaps its blade in half. Cue to her paramour Silverbolt shuddering in sympathy.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', when Brock and Lt. Baldovich coordinate over the radio to dock Dr. Venture's shuttle with the Gargantua I space station, it sounds like they're discussing a sexual encounter they're having. Dr. Venture seems to realize it too, since he groans in exasperation and snaps at Brock to hurry up after a while.

*** Not to mention there was Tarlok talking of [[spoiler:taking Korra with him when he plans to run away after being found out of kidnapping her. [[FridgeHorror Who the hell knows what he could have done to Korra had that actually happened]].]]
** Amon's backstory about he [[spoiler:and his brother Tarrlock were forced into bloodbending training by their father Yakone]] is disturbingly like sexual abuse in how degrading the characters feel as a result of it and how it continually propagates throughout the generations.

** Perry the Platypus discovers that Dr. Doofenshmirtz is having his evil plans foiled by another hero, which is [[FoeRomanceSubtext set up like an affair]], complete with Perry walking in and Doof having a pawprint (re: lipstick) on his face, with Peter the Panda hiding in the nearby closet. NotWhatItLooksLike indeed. They're not enemies. Just bad friends. Or so Doof said. There's a whole break-up dialogue between Doof and Perry. The "affair" is played with again in "Meapless in Seattle".

** Doofenshmirtz once had a girlfriend who left him for a man with huge hands. You know what they say about guys with big hands.

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** "Homecoming Upset" has Ron and Bonnie elected Homecoming King and Queen, and thus are forced to attend a number of public events together. At one of them, Ron is holding a fire hose and Bonnie comes up from behind and surprises him with a hug. The hose picks that exact moment to turn on and [[SomethingElseAlsoRises shoots water]] all over Kim.
** Kim laying on her belly with Warmonga looming over her with her weapon. Kim even groans.
** In Episode 53, Kim and Shego are affected by devices known as "moodulators" that makes them—especially in become affectionate at one minute, and lashing out at them in anger in the next, depending on what's going on with the remote at the time. And they each fixate on a male target for both their affections and anger. Ron and Drakken are thoroughly confused.
** In "A Sitch in Time," Ron and Kim are talking about him moving to Norway and Kim's trying to reassure him that they'll still be able to work together.
* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'': Her [[spoiler:shapeshifting abilities]] appear on her 13th birthday, and there are several remarks about how the body "goes through changes" at that age--just not ''these'' ones, usually.

** In the ''Film/DirtyDancing'' segment of "Love Story Guy", Joe's original dance partner Dancy has to pull out of the talent show to get jaw surgery for her TMJ. The situation is treated a lot like her getting an abortion. A coat hanger is even involved.

--> '''Stan:''' And the Number One dog on my fictitious dog list is [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Brian Griffin!]]\\
''(zoom out to reveal Brian, sipping a martini)''\\
'''Brian:''' Uh, do I know you? ''(walks off)''\\
'''Stan:''' ''({{beat}}) ''[[ScrewedByTheNetwork STOP PRETENDING I DON'T EXIST!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': In "Wax Museum", after Frog Soos postulates there are perhaps [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls alternate universe versions]] of themselves, Curator Ponds asks if he's been [[ToadLicking licking himself]] again.

* In the AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}} and the Big Fight'', you can see Cancaphonix singing like a rock star, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5IuiXhHWPwwith his guitar between his legs]].

** The scene at the end of "The Headband" where [[OfficialCouple Aang and Katara]] have a big dance number that ends with them sweating and panting, looking at each with big smiles on their faces was something. Granted that is what normally happens when people dance, but still.
** In the beginning of the episode where Sokka meets his future girlfriend, Aang quite happily says the line, "Where we're going, you won't need any pants!" [[{{Foreshadowing}} Sokka also dresses up in women's clothes in that episode]].

** The giant drill the Fire Nation used to pierce the wall of Ba Sing Se in "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheDrill The Drill]]", complete with the rock/water slurry, which appears to serve as a lubricant for the drill, and has the consistency of very slippery mud. When Aang delivers the crushing blow to the drill by smashing the weak spot, the slurry splatters everywhere, but particularly towards the front of the drill. It's no wonder Mai doesn't want to go anywhere near the stuff. And just in case it was still subtle as all, just before attempting to "penetrate the Impenetrable City", the Drill ''extends itself''.
*** It actually gets worse in that the drill was being used for an invasion, so rape allegory also applies.

** "The Ultimate Thrill" features Roxy Rocket, a former stuntwoman turned jewel thief who rides rockets as part of her robbery plans. It's mentioned a couple of times that she is in it more for the thrill of the crime than the actual spoils, and adding Batman chasing her into the mix just made it more exciting. The episode ends with Batman cornering Roxy straddling one of her rockets which is about to crash into the side of a cliff, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k58wihIiyR4 her getting really into it.]]
** ''Batman: The Animated Series'' was notorious for its sexual innuendo. The pie scene in "Mad Love" for instance:
--->'''Harley''': Don't you wanna rev up your Harley? VROOM VROOM!
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', the villain Shriek (a sound engineer) rewards his assistant by letting him play with a special tuning fork that "stimulates the brain's pleasure center." Ollie enjoys it so much that he winds up lying on the floor, rubbing the fork on his head, moaning sensually and giggling. Watching the scene as an adult, it's hard NOT to see the fork as a stand-in for a vibrator.

** In "Lobsterfest", Bob's kids discuss how they saw their "first time", eating lobster. This is carried out to the point of Tina wanting to "wait for marriage" to have lobster, and Gene wanting to eat lobster his first time in a hot tub. Louise just wants to order lobster as her last meal before an execution and use its claws to stab her way to freedom. In the same episode, Hugo's date appears to like a man with a big "badge".
** "The Hormon-iums" can be seen as a PG-rated criticism on abstinence-only sex education. Mr. Frond creates a play to make the kids at Wagstaff believe that if they kiss anybody at all [[ScareEmStraight they will get mononucleosis and will die from it]]. Tina, who is very kiss-positive, doesn't agree with the play, but is tempted to go through with it when Mr. Frond offers her the leading role. When she goes to Bob for advice, he tells Tina she shouldn't do the play if she doesn't believe in its message. He also tells her she's the only one in charge of her mouth and whether or not she kisses anyone with it, as well as who she kisses with it, is nobody's business but her own. In the end, Tina decides to agree to do the play so [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight she can hijack it during the presentation to give the Wagstaff student body real information about mononucleosis]]; mainly, that it isn't life-threatening unless you're very young, very old, or have a compromised immune system, and it's easily treatable in most cases. She also demonstrates that you can avoid mono while still being kiss-positive simply by just kissing people who don't have it.
---> '''Tina:''' We don't have to ''not'' kiss, we just have to ''smart'' kiss.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' episode "A Date with the Health Inspector" is a satire of the Iraq War. [[UpperClassTwit Ed Wuncler III]] and Gin Rummy represent George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfield, the X-Box killer which starts the whole episode is Osama Bin Laden, and the store clerk that Ed and Rummy rob for no reason is Saddam Hussein (in a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed). Several quotes are also made referencing the war, such as Rummy reciting Rumsfeld's "known unknowns and unknown unknowns" quote, and Wuncler telling the clerks to "Bring it, bitch" (a parallel to Bush's "Bring them on" speech).

** Everyone in the Ever-world is content and satisfied with their place in society. Well, except for this ''one'' group of people- but nobody ''really'' cares what they think. So what if they've been conditioned, since birth, to consider themselves morally inferior to others? So what if their only value- from an Ever's perspective- lies in enabling the fame and luxurious lives of their ''betters''? So what if any member of this group that defies her ''proper'' social strata is forced into disciplinary meetings so she will "erase [those] dangerous thought[s] from her head"? Besides, the [[FantasticCasteSystem Legacy system]] is a ''vital'' part of Ever's cultural and political structure and it's just a few ungrateful rebels who don't understand that they ''should'' suffer (suffering which often includes verbal abuse, imprisonment, and execution) for the good of everyone else- and their own selves. After all, their kind really ''deserves'' to be subjugated. It's their natural lot in life.

** A scene at the Bavarian festival from "I Never Met the Dead Man" involves the owner of a German sausage stand taking over a Polish sausage stand and eyeing the Czech stand. To make it more obvious, he has the familiar mustache.
** "Brian: Portrait of a Dog" has Brian fighting against discrimination against for being a dog. Scenes include him getting in trouble for drinking from a "human" water fountain and getting offended when an officer calls him "boy".
** The subplot of "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven" involves Stewie making the cast of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' spend time with him, and the situation eventually devolves into Stewie acting like stressed-out father watching over group of a bratty kids.
** Then we have "The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou" where Stewie uses a tanning bed and falls asleep in it, causing him to get a severe burn. He yells at Brian to put some cream on him which he does, then the camera changes angle and makes the cream look an awful look like semen.
--->'''Brian:''' [[NotWhatItLooksLike Oh, hi Mr Furley. Um.. this isn't what it looks like!]]\\
'''Mr Furley:''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Never mind, I'll come back later!]]

-->'''Bloo:''' How did this happen?\\

** Bloo going behind Mac's back to play with a rich kid is treated like an affair... down to Mac [[GRatedDrug binge "drinking" with ice cream when he discovers Bloo is still doing it after the first discovery.]]
*** The episode in question is titled "Affair-Weather Friends"; they weren't even trying to hide the analogy.

** "The Route Of All Evil" portrays Bender brewing beer inside himself as awaiting a pregnancy, brought on by Bender realizing that there would be a living thing (yeast) inside him. He even goes so far as to sing lullabies and knit bottle covers. By the end, he's "giving birth" to the beer. Also notable for Fry declaring, "I hope it's a lager, so I can take it to a ballgame."
** In "Hell Is Other Robots", Bender gets addicted to injecting himself with electricity. Leela finds him doing the same in the bathroom and asks, "Bender, are you jacking on in there?" This could be interpreted as either an allusion to drug addiction or masturbation, making it a ''double'' DoubleEntendre.
** The opening of the first movie, ''Bender's Big Score'', combines a particularly over-the-top example of this with a vicious TakeThat against Fox, comparing Planet Express closing and re-opening to the series' cancellation, sometimes bordering on {{Metaphorgotten}}.
** The episode "I Dated A Robot" parodies the society's attitudes towards both interracial marriages and same-sex marriages, and also has the message that [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil file sharing is morally wrong]].
** "Proposition Infinity" has Bender and Amy fighting to legalise "Robosexual marriage".

--->'''URL:''' You call THAT an antenna?
*** In "Neutopia", at first the only noticeable difference in Bender is that his antenna is gone. Similarly, Farnsworth removes his antenna for an EasySexChange in "Bend Her."
*** By "The Bots and the Bees" it's no longer a RunningGag so much as [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots an explicit 1:1 analogy]]. [[spoiler:When robots [[RoboRomance have sex]], the male's antenna is used to send a binary file to the female's internal drive so that his manufacturing specs can be merged with hers by a randomized algorithm, creating a baby robot. An educational video depicts this process in a way obviously reminiscent of human reproduction, with the 1s and 0s of the male binary code forming shapes resembling sperm as they "swim" toward the female drive.]]
** In "Decision 3012", an esteemed politician running for President gets accused of being an alien by {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s when his Earth birth certificate cannot be found. [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Hmm, that sounds familiar]]...
*** A comedic footnote to the scenario is that, since the candidate in question is running for [[AmericaTakesOverTheWorld President of Earth]] rather than just the United States, his eligibility ultimately hinges on finding proof that he ''was'' born in Kenya.
---->'''Leela:''' Cradle of humanity!
** In "A Leela Of Her Own", the other female Blernsball player claiming Leela is actually making it harder for "real women" to succeed resembles relationships between trans and non-trans women.
** Leela's TeamMom status becomes almost literal in "2D Blacktop" when she replaces the dangerous Planet Express ship with a BoringButPractical model that's treated as the futuristic equivalent of a minivan and quickly finds herself picking up groceries for Hermes, breaking up backseat fights between [[{{Manchild}} Fry]] and [[PsychopathicManchild Bender]] ("Leela! Bender's bothering me!") and driving them back and forth to their Wednesday karate class.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': The episode "Metamorphosis" starts off with a down on her luck homeless woman being approached by an unseen but clearly wealthy older gentlemen. The man, later revealed to be [[MadScientist Doctor Sevarius]], tells the woman that he has a job for her before smiling sinisterly. Were this not a children's cartoon on a Disney network your first thought would likely be that the homeless woman, Maggie, is about to be forced into sex slavery. What actually happens isn't much better, considering she's experimented on for an indeterminant amount of time and turned into a Cat-Bat-Eel chimera.

** In "The Inconveniencing," Mabel discovers [[Main/GRatedDrug Smile Dip,]] a hallucinogenic candy that was banned in the United States. She quickly discovers why after downing the entire package, once the MushroomSamba sets in.
** In "The Society of the Blind Eye", the titular society uses a memory eraser gun to prevent the people in Gravity Falls from discovering the supernatural elements of the setting. It's indicated that the Society uses the memory eraser on themselves to manage the pressures of their day to day life, creating parallels to addiction and substance abuse.

'''Blind Ivan:''' ...Maybe a little. (Ivan zaps himself with the Memory Eraser) But not anymore!

** In "Brother from the Same Planet":

*** Also this exchange being reflective of faking orgasms:

** In "Brother from the Same Planet", Lisa's addiction to the Corey hotline is portrayed as similar to a drug addiction.

*** Also this disturbing exchange...

'''Homer:''' ''(gasp)'' Liar!\\
'''Bart:''' Oh yeah? Remember this? "Higher Dad! Higher! Whee!"

** "Phineas And Ferb Get Busted" is a somewhat disturbing homage to prison films and the rehabilitation/re-programming in ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.

-->'''Eda:''' [[spoiler:No one likes having a curse, but if you take the right steps, it's manageable.]]

** Completely parodied in "The Ring" with the Music/TheJonasBrothers doing obvious sexual things such as spraying their white hot foam on the faces of young girls. ([[AluminumChristmasTrees Which they actually]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik2EppSLlew did]].)

** Eda's curse in is often used as a stand in for living with an incurable yet treatable disease. Several of the plotlines used include an unscrupulous shopkeeper price gouging her for the elixir that she needs to keep it under control, her mother getting tricked by scammers in her search for a non-existent cure, or the reveal that her ex broke up with her because she kept being secretive about her condition.
-->'''Eda:''' No one likes having a curse, but if you take the right steps, it's manageable.
** In "Thanks to Them", Luz's depression over her role in helping Belos' plans causes her to believe she's a failure who's hurt everyone she loves. In class, her rant about a character in a story is [[PsychologicalProjection very clearly really her expressing her anger at herself]] and ends with Luz stating the "hero" should never have been born. This comes off almost like self-loathing to the point of '''suicidal intentions''', which isn't helped later by the scene of her making a video diary, acknowledging her own mistakes and that she is simply planning to stay in the human realm, which reads distressingly like someone leaving a suicide note. While it's never confirmed if she actually is that depressed, given the situation, this is still enough of a red flag about Luz's mental state to warn Camila that she needs to intervene ''immediately''.
