* Pops up frequently in the cartoons of Creator/TexAvery. For instance, the main conceit of the Droopy Dog cartoon ''Northwest Hounded Police'' is that Droopy is a mounted policeman sent to capture a criminal wolf. Everywhere the wolf tries to hide, Droopy's made it there first. At one point, the wolf swims to a small deserted island, where he's stuck between a small rock and a smaller rock.

* Pepper Potts invokes this trope in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' when Gene's stepfather, whilst wearing the Mandarin armor, threatens her life if Gene and Tony do not find the fifth Makluan Ring. ("Very original," to quote Pepper.)
* Used and then subverted in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. Finn and Jake immediately realize that an invitation from a creepy skeleton king is a trap and walk away listing all of the cliche things that would have happened if they'd gone into his arena--the exits would all seal themselves and they'd have to fight gladiator ghosts. Immediately subverted when they decide it sounds awesome and run right back into the trap, which plays out exactly the way they expected. Later, Finn's accurate predictions of said skeleton king's goals and power source become critical in tricking and defeating him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', Xanatos manages to restrain several of the gargoyle heroes, and sets up a deathtrap-like situation where a vat of acid will pour down upon them.
-->'''Xanatos:''' It's my first real stab at clichéd villainy. How am I doing?".
** On the whole, he's clearly aware of what is expected from a cartoon villain, and sometimes comments on the cliches he's performing or avoiding. He still rarely achieves DangerouslyGenreSavvy levels, since the methods by which he's foiled are usually relatively standard fare, even if he never admits defeat. [[XanatosGambit That's because his plans usually gain ''more'' for him if he is ''apparently'' defeated.]] Only against Thailog has he ''ever'' truly admitted defeat and come out on the losing side of the exchange.
* Most of the characters on ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum'' know the conventions of the MechaShow. As well as several other film genres. For instance, the following exchange between [[TheHero Palmer]] and [[TheSmartGuy Willie]] after they hear banjo music in the distance:
-->'''Willie''': What was that?
-->'''Palmer''': [[DontGoInTheWoods The worst sound your anus ever heard.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''
** In "Action Packed", Timmy wishes the world was like an action movie. [[OnlySaneMan Wanda]] correctly predicts that everything would go from bad to worse. Wanda's awareness that everything will go wrong on every wish qualifies her for this trope.
* Played with in an episode of ''StrokerAndHoop'', where Stroker, in an attempt to be genre savvy, assumes that the suspects in the murder investigation must include a corrupt mayor and a corrupt sheriff. The latter, incidentally being Hoop's half-brother (or something), is in the room and Stroker quickly adds "no offense." Turns out he was right.
-->'''Hoop:''' You clichedly evil bastard!
* In ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'', one of the {{Mooks}} was GenreSavvy (but not [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy dangerously so]]) enough to try and promote himself to the main credits, under the belief that he did not have a name until he did something worth earning it. Unfortunately for him, "worth" does not necessarily come in the form of positive gain. When he manages to capture the heroes through sheer luck, he makes a point of NOT discussing his evil plan right in front of them.

* Played with in an episode of ''StrokerAndHoop'', where Stroker, in an attempt to be genre savvy, assumes that the suspects in the murder investigation must include a corrupt mayor and a corrupt sheriff. The latter, incidentally being Hoop's half-brother (or something), is in the room and Stroker quickly adds "no offense." Turns out he was right.
-->'''Hoop:''' You clichedly evil bastard!
* In ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'', one of the {{Mooks}} was GenreSavvy (but not [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy dangerously so]]) enough to try and promote himself to the main credits, under the belief that he did not have a name until he did something worth earning it. Unfortunately for him, "worth" does not necessarily come in the form of positive gain. When he manages to capture the heroes through sheer luck, he makes a point of NOT discussing his evil plan right in front of them.

** Played straight when there's an episode where Homer becomes an opera star ''and'' someone is trying to murder him ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]). To protect him during an ''opera'' performance, Chief Wiggum orders the hanging [[ThePhantomOfTheOpera chandelier to be ''pre''-crashed]] instead of crashed.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' makes regular use of this trope.
** In "Pandemic", minor character Craig spends the whole episode complaining about how genre blind the main characters are.
** Played With in "Butt Out" in which smart-guy Kyle attempts, and fails, to convince the other major characters to not follow the show's formula for once.
** In "Stanley's Cup" the characters correctly realize that they are in a typical sports movie and thus are bound to win against all odds. They also understand that to achieve that, they need to invite a really good player to their team for their final match, which they also do. This is subverted when they turn out to be WrongGenreSavvy and are beaten brutally: the opposing team were the real protagonists. Similarly, in "The Losing Edge" the team remarks that at this point of the movie, they should include a new, special player in the team to achieve their goals. Only their goal in to ''lose'' and the player is absolutely terrible.
** In "Canceled", the boys realize they're in a rerun of the very first episode.
** Lampshaded by Token, whose name fits this trope, as he clearly is the token black guy and token rich guy.
** For a presentation about the reasons for the American Revolution, Cartman constructs a device that will drop a stone on his head while he is wondering out loudly what the Founding Fathers were thinking back then. His reasoning is that he will pass out and have a wacky flashback episode in which he is present during the declaration of independence.
** Cartman plays this straight in "Spooky Fish" when Stan and Kyle want to send Cartman to the MirrorUniverse where the 'evil' Eric Cartman came from. Cartman tells them to send both him and his twin back, [[BatmanGambit knowing that they would think the real Cartman would never say that.]] It works, and they send back his 'evil' self instead.
** Kenny tends to be something of a genre-savvy StraightMan in general: the gag being that the audience can't generally understand what he's saying even though it's a {{lampshade|Hanging}} or something savvy.

** Dr. Venture spends half the time making sarcastic genre savvy comments. Brock does it a lot too, especially when they're in danger. Come to think of it, a great deal of the cast are.

-->'''Brock:''' Uh-huh.
-->'''Dr. Venture:''' I mean, you get a bunch of short-fused, costumed idiots together in one room like this, and what do you think's gonna happen? Any minute now, stuff's gonna start blowing up, guys'll be throwing each other at other guys.

** Hank and Dean ''aren't''. [[WrongGenreSavvy They think they are, though]], with all their presumed ''[[Literature/TheHardyBoys Hardy Boys]]'' style mysteries. This occasionally works out for them, one example is in the episode "Fallen Arches" when Triana Orpheus is kidnapped by the super villain Torrid and Dean thinks to run the hot water in the shower so the steam will reveal a message on the mirror.

** Lisa manages to apply it to real life in a somewhat rational fashion, as she plans to be a jazz musician who is unappreciated in her time but discovered as a genius decades later. "And I may or may not die young, I haven't decided yet."
** In ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E4TreehouseOfHorrorIX Treehouse of Horror IX]]", Bart and Lisa are trapped in Itchy & Scratcy's universe and are inside a car about to be murdered. Bart uses his cartoon knowledge to draw an eject button, press it and escape.
** Homer applies a bit of genre savviness to help Apu and Manjula get pregnant by setting them up in a scenario with every cliche in the book of the LawOfInverseFertility.
-->'''Homer''': Now, this situation is '''guaranteed''' to end in pregnancy.
-->'''Apu''': I'm willing to play the high school jock but did you have to cut the roof off my car?
-->'''Homer''': Ah bup bup bup bup! That's an Apu question, you're Greg.
-->'''Apu''': ''(reading)'' Uh, gee Betsy, it's such a nice night. Why don't we go all the way?
-->'''Manjula''': ''(reading)'' But Greg, my dad will kill me! And you have that scholarship to Ivy League State.
-->'''Apu''': Loosen up, baby. Tomorrow I'm shipping off to Vietnam. I-- ''(breaking character)'' I thought I was going to Ivy League State.
-->'''Homer''': My mistake. Stay in the moment.
-->'''Manjula''': Just promise not to forget me on your dinosaur bone digging up trip.
** In "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson," the Mafia and the Yazuka are fighting on the lawn. Marge thinks that they should go inside.
-->'''Homer:''' But, Marge, that little guy hasn't done anything yet. Look at him. He's going to do something and you know it's going to be good.

-->'''Homer:''' Aw...
** In "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind," Homer accidentally walks in on Marge and Duffman planning a surprise party for him. Feeling guilty, he decides to take Moe's "Forget-Me-Shot" so it will still be a surprise, but before drinking it, Homer realizes that he's bound to retain some memory of walking in and seeing them, which could eventually drive him to despair at the thought of Marge cheating on him, so he tells Lenny to make sure the party has a moon bounce.
