* {{WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan}}: Happens to Cody in the episode "Cody's Mistake", since he was going to put sunscreen on himself after going to the beach before being distracted by Junior.

* Happened to ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' in one episode when they refused to put on sunblock, saying it was for geeks. Now, since they are nigh-invulnerable it's not inconceivable that the sun wouldn't harm them. However, the girls end up going into space to stop a solar flare from destroying the city and thus end up with sunburns. They were in so much pain they could barely move, let alone fight. At the end of the episode, two criminals suffer this after they also declare sunblock to be for geeks.

* The Disney Channel original movie, ''Good Luck Charlie: It's Christmas!'' (based on the television show with a [[Series/GoodLuckCharlie similar name]]) features this trope when PJ mistakenly puts on suntan oil instead of sun block and falls asleep by the pool.

* In ''[[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Puyo Puyo SUN]]'', this ends up happening to Draco Centauros in her ending, complete with red-hot skin and a PainPoweredLeap that sends her flying right out of the stratosphere! It also leaves her unable to have a proper Puyo match with Arle in her story due to the pain she's in from the burn.

* ''Series:BetterCallSaul'': In the episode ""Bad Choice Road" Jimmy [=McGill=] meets with Lalo Salamanca on his release from jail, having secured his bail money and transported it through the New Mexico desert on foot after his car broke down. Seeing Jimmy's horrific sunburn, Lalo decides to thank him [[ComedicSociopathy with a hearty slap on the back]].
