* ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats1991'': In "[[Recap/RugratsS8E3BowWowWeddingVows Bow Wow Wedding Vows]]", Tommy is feeling neglected because Spike is spending more time with Fifi than with him, so he tries to find a way to get Spike to remember him. Lil tells him that when Howard wants to remember things, he ties string around his fingers. Tommy decides to try that idea and covers Spike in string. When Spike shakes the string off, Tommy thinks the string didn't work because he and his friends didn't tie it down, to which Lil points out that they never learned how to tie string.

* An episode of ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'' involves Akane helping Ryoga study so he can take a test and obtain his high school diploma (his absurd amounts of NoSenseOfDirection, obsession with getting Ranma (which made him wander the world) and being BookDumb all conspired against him), but being so obsessed with clobbering Ranma ''and'' the fact Ranma is constantly pestering him because he's spending time with Akane, the poor girl forces him to promise not to fight and ties a neckerchief around his hand (a Japanese version of this trope) as a reminder. At the end of the episode in a moment that makes Ryoga burst out in ManlyTears, he decides he's too dumb and vengeance-obsessed to be able to keep his promise and follow through with what he wanted, takes off the kerchief, and wanders away.
