Following the ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' reveal that Kai have the ability to restore planets, Whis and Goku point out he never uses these powers to undo the damage Goku and Beerus do to the planet the kai himself resides on, to which he replies (under his breath) that patching things together by hand passes more time.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': "Making the Case" has Lincoln compete in a video contest against the one in the lead, Hamstacam, which is just a video of a hamster running in its exercise wheel. When the video ends up taking first place, the video's ending shows the hamster tripping up, crashing into its drinking bottle, and getting sprayed in the face, which is probably why it was popular.

Bert seems especially dull compared to Ernie, who is FunPersonified, especially for ''Sesame Street's''' target audience (Ernie likes playing with traditional toys and loud games). Their polar-opposite personalities are the whole point, as they teach kids AnAesop about how, even though people can like different things and have fun in different ways, it is possible to be [[HeterosexualLifePartner best friends.]]

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', Cat tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope when he and Dog go to an amusement park. Dog wants to ride an incredibly dangerous and terrifying roller coaster called the "Butt Buster." Cat is afraid of the coaster but doesn't want to admit it, so he tries to find other "fun" activities to do instead. In a twist, once Dog finally does get them on the Butt Buster, he ends up hating it...while Cat declares it the greatest experience of his life.
