* Done in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode where Timmy's Dad's first time on the ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanA5thGrader'' spoof, "Are You Brighter Than a 6th Grader" had him answer "sea cucumber" to nearly all the questions until the last one, "what kind of cucumber lives in the sea" prompting him to say the wrong answer. Forcing himself to re-attend school, Timmy's Dad retakes the competition and goes on a roll until the last question, "which sea vegetable would suit perfectly on an undersea salad", causes him to hesitate until he finds it in himself to say the right answer. In spite of the name, sea cucumbers are ''not'' cucumbers or vegetables in general, but animals -- specifically echinoderms, like starfish. ''Regular'' cucumbers aren't technically vegetables, even.
