* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' fan video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82j_8I9Yi7k The Incredibles Get Sick!]]''.

It's never quite revealed why their powers are acting up, and by the time they turn back to normal, the cat has already been saved.

* In an episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Fozzie fills in when Kermit is sick, but Fozzie does a terrible job.



* Happened several times in ''Series/SesameStreet'':
** Played with the time the young Gabi was sick on a BirthdayEpisode and her ''friends'' couldn't come to her birthday party.
** In one episode, Prairie Dawn wakes up with a cold after sleeping over with the Rodriguez family. Unfortunately, she's supposed to play the piano for a pageant on that day. After taking a nap, she comes up with the idea to have someone fill in for her. Big Bird suggests Bob do it, and he puts on a falsetto and a dress in order to do so. When Prairie Dawn hears of this, she begs him to put the voice back on and narrate the pageant again for her, which he reluctantly does.
** Another time Grandmama Bear has a cold, so an older Gabi has to babysit.
** A fourth time Big Bird and Zoe both have colds, so they can't have a play date (they have a "play date by proxy" with Telly).
** A fifth time Gina was out sick from running the daycare, so Savion filled in.
** Another time, Maria has a stomach virus and is sent to the hospital, so she can't do her job. She comes back later in the day, though.
** "You've Got to Be Patient to Be a Patient" is a song ''all about'' this: it's about how you can't go out and play while sick, so you'll just have to be patient. It's sung once to Big Bird when he has a lung infection, once to Maria when she has her stomach virus, and once to a little girl when she has the flu.
** In the song "Best Friend Blues", Ernie sings about how Bert can't play with him because he's sick.
