* Pops up in several ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts, including Creator/FrankTashlin's ''WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat'' (1943), Creator/FrizFreleng's ''WesternAnimation/RoomAndBird'' (1951), and Creator/RobertMcKimson's ''WesternAnimation/TheOilyAmerican'' (1954) and ''WesternAnimation/BostonQuackie'' (1953).

** Played straight in the pilot where Wilt, Eduardo and Coco are trying to save Bloo from being adopted by a bratty little girl, only due to a case of the IdiotBall, they aren't aware that the others are trying to help, so they end up trying to keep Bloo away from each other as well. They engage in this trope and midway through start switching who's carrying who (at one point Coco is carrying ''Eduardo''). It ends with Bloo ending up carrying the bratty girl and running off with the others chasing after him. The scene repeats in the episode's credits, where at one point a previously introduced imaginary friend (who looks just like [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Mojo Jojo]]) makes an appearance.

Virus attempts to [[LampshadeHanging lampshade it]] by asking her if she's warping the building's spacial dimensions or if Eastwood's just stupid.
