At the end, when Daffy pushes his luck too far, Porky buys out the network and begins subjecting ''him'' to the same torment.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'': In "Q&A", the villainous Cluemaster kidnaps three people and forces them to participate in a trivia show against him where, if they lose, he will drop them into a pit of acid. As it turns out, Cluemaster is actually Arthur Brown, a child genius who had a winning streak on the trivia show "Quiz Me Quick" until he made a tiny mistake in one of his answers that finally made him lose. He threw a fit and [[PsychopathicManchild never got over it]]. The three people he kidnapped were also on the old show, and he holds them responsible for him losing.

* Played with in one episode of ''Series/InsideNo9'', which is recorded as if it were an episode of a quiz show. The format of the show itself isn't especially sadistic, being a typical mid-afternoon quiz along the lines of ''Series/{{Pointless}}'' or ''Series/TheChase''. However, it gradually becomes one of these [[spoiler: as it becomes increasingly clear that one of the contestants has psychic powers and a troubled history with her abusive mother]].

* There existed a short lived gameshow by Creator/{{truTV}} called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Karaoke Killer Karaoke]], which seemingly only existed as a way to (legally) torture people on live TV. Notably the original host of the show was ''fired'' due to expressing concern over how the show was treating the animals it used for specific segments, to give an idea of how bad it got.

* ''WesternAnimation/DeadEndParanormalPark'' has Hox's Castle, a game show from the Lower Planes that Barney, Norma, and Puglsey end up going on when Courtney is unable to go on it herself. Not only are the rounds extremely difficult and dangerous, but Hox intentionally makes it harder for them, even going so far as to push Barney down the stairs to his death, and when Norma and Pugsley use the lifeline, it doesn't revive him so much as make a new Barney with all of his memories. As it turns out, ''no one'' has ever won before, with most contestants not even getting past the first round, and Hox only allows them to win when he realises that Pugsley is possessed by Temeluchus, who is Demon royalty.
