* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': "The Vat of Acid Episode" obviously features one of these. However, the eponymous vat of acid is actually fake. It's a vat of a harmless green liquid implied to be Mountain Dew, with a breathing apparatus to make sure whoever falls in can stay in there until any witnesses are convinced of their death, and a supply of bones to help sell the illusion, as well as a laser for destroying any ladles that enter the vat to test its acidity. [[spoiler:A member of the SWAT Team is convinced he's acid-proof near the end of the episode after being splashed by the fake acid. In TheStinger, he goes on ''Series/TheTonightShowStarringJohnnyCarson'' (which was still on the air in that dimension) with a real vat of acid, lowering himself into it with [[TooDumbToLive predictable results.]]]]

* ''Series/TheWildWildWest'' actually had ''Series/TheWildWildWest'': The villain of "The Night of the Bubbling Death" has stolen the original Constitution of the United States and hides it in his labyrinthic ElaborateUndergroundBase. The last obstacle before the room he's put the precious document in is a long corridor the bottom of which is a pool of lye filled with boiling red acid. James West uses a gadget zipline conceived by Artemus Gordon to cross it the second time (for his first time there, he was brought there {{blindfolded|Trip}} using a removable bridge) to retrieve the Constitution. As expected, the villain dies by falling in an episode.the pool.
