* [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] in the {{WesternAnimation/Popeye}} cartoon "Private Eye Popeye". After Olive Oyl's butler steals the gemstone that Popeye was tasked to protect, he makes his getaway through a seemingly normal looking door ([[BehindTheBlack though he does not open the door fully, so the audience can't see what's behind it yet]]). However, when Popeye then tries to follow the butler through the same door, he immediately runs into something. [[OffscreenRealityWarp It is then that the door swings open the rest of the way, revealing a brick wall]].
