* ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder'': Happens to Oscar in "Snackland" when a bodyguard stomps on him. Considering his behavior throughout the episode, it's not hard to deny he deserved it.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'': In "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS2E4TheWrathOfShmandorThereGoesTheNeighborhood The Wrath of Shmandor]]", after getting swatted by Bunny, three of the Shmandorian sergeants are SquashedFlat and then spring up like accordions.

* In {{Film/Casper}}, the eponymous friendly ghost is attempting to distract his uncles from finding out people have moved into their mansion and suggests they look at the moon. They respond by squeezing him into an accordion while singing before launching him into the moon.

* Several ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoons have this trope, such as "Neapolitan Mouse", in which the Italian dog that gave Tom that injury promptly proceeded to play Tom like an actual accordion.

%%* Happens to Peter in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' when, true to form, a piano falls on him.

* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' makes use of this trope occasionally, including one time when [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender Babs gets a sack of money dropped on her]] and is shown squished into an accordion once it's taken off.

A character crushed by an AnvilOnHead or other large object (e.g. piano) will often stumble away, being squashed into a pleated and flexing shape like an accordion, frequently accompanied by accordion music.

Compare to SquashedFlat.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': In the Season 9 episode, "Cave Smurfs". Brainy Smurf gets pounded flat into his own book by Papa Smurf (in an OutOfCharacterMoment) after attempting to connect the last time crystal.

Not to be confused with a man who plays the accordion, who may be a PolkaDork, a [[AccordionToMostSailors sailor]], and/or {{French|Accordion}}. And no, it's not a [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic new and bizarre Robot Master]].

Compare to SquashedFlat. If you were looking for a man who's obsessed with accordions, see PolkaDork.

And no, it's not a [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic new and bizarre Robot Master]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'' featured a variation of this: Whenever Kaa gets his tail caught in some bamboo, when he frees it his tail flies back at him, causing himself to recoil instantly (he is a snake), making an accordion noise as he does so.
