* Subverted on the ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' episode "Charlie's Home Alone", where Charlie, who has been abandoned at the bar by himself, decides to protect it with ''Film/HomeAlone''-esque traps. Then two shady men approach, reminiscent of the thieves from the film. However, they notice the "Closed" sign and promptly leave. Charlie then proceeds to set off the traps himself over the course of the episode, leading him to suffer [[NoKillLikeOverkill multiple nail gun wounds, a blow to the head by a paint can, severe burns, and a bear trap to the leg]].

* ''Series/FargoSeasonFive'': After escaping a kidnapping attempt by men working for her ex-husband, Dot Lyon rigs up her house with various traps to deter kidnappers should they try again. Sure enough, a few days later, Gator and a couple of hired thugs visit on Halloween night. Given how the previous attempt went, they approach the job more cautiously than Munch and his partner did. Though Dot gains the upper hand several times, she's always on the run due to fighting alone. The house also ends up burning down after Wayne accidentally electrocutes himself trying to escape through a window that had been wired to shock someone trying to break in through that window.
