* Played humorously in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''. While tagging along with Benson on a trip to renew their cart's warranty, they accidently cause him to swerve off the road. The scene then switches to a cop making Benson do a sobriety test. Later on, Benson puts on a music tape, and the group moves along with it, even though it causes Benson to take his hands off the wheel. We see them getting pulled over again by the same cop, who's dancing along with them.

* In ''Odd Couple II'', Felix and Oscar end up in a small-town sheriff's office three times in three days under three charges. The first time the truck lent to them turned out to be full of illegal immigrants; the second time they were caught in a priceless antique car with the dead body of the owner (he passed away naturally); and the third time they were involved in a kidnapping from a bus (but in this case they were the victims). When the kidnappers see the police barricade, Oscar consoles them by saying "Don't worry, I know each of them personally." After this in the sheriff's office, Oscar compares their situation to a trifecta. An enraged Felix threatens to strangle Oscar and get arrested for a "four-fecta". After this the sheriff lets them go, telling his men not to bring them back even if they kill someone and rob the bank.

* Combined with InspectorJavert in ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu'': In one episode, Sosuke and Kaname get chased by an enthusiastic policewoman because they're speeding along on a bicycle, with the cop eventually wrecking her car. Several episodes later when dealing with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext serial ponytailer]], the pair runs into the same cop, who got into deep trouble for wrecking her car and is now trying to fix her reputation. Sosuke recognizes her and uses his [[BurgerFool Bonta]][[PoweredArmor -kun]] suit in order to prevent her from identifying him. Of course, this causes her to develop a (SympatheticInspectorAntagonist)-like fixation on Bonta-kun until the real culprit is found.
