* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': In "Just Desserts!", Timmy wishes that all the food in the world was desserts, which results in everyone (except for Mark Chang, who eats healthy food for dessert) becoming morbidly obese and the Earth to hurtle towards the sun. When Timmy is about to wish for everything to be back to normal, Mr. Bickles is about to dive into his pool, when the sun's heat causes the water to evaporate, and his weight causes the diving board to break and him to fall into the empty pool. When Timmy wishes that everything is back to normal, Mr. Bickles' pool is filled with water again and Mr. Bickles, thin and unharmed, is shown swimming in it.

* ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy'': The episode about fluids has a skit depicting what life would be like without any fluids ''at all''. The lack of water, presented as this trope, turns out to be just one of the many, ''many'' downsides of living in what's essentially a DeathWorld.

* ''WesternAnimation/VivaPinata'': "Hudson Tells All" starts with Hudson falling victim to this trope, resulting in his angry rant about the construction workers he hired that sets off the episode's plot. It's only after he's splatted against the floor of the pool that Simone tells him said workers built a dam blocking off half the pool instead of the gazebo he ordered.

** In the short "WesternAnimation/HighDivingHare", WesternAnimation/BugsBunny tricks Yosemite Sam into jumping off a high dive into a barrel of water, except there's no water in the barrel. Bugs dumps a bucket of water after Sam, and Sam tries to get the water to fall faster than he so it'll be there for him to land in. The water lands on the barrel in time... Sam misses the barrel entirely.
