* ''Series/FraggleRock'': The Storyteller sings the ballad of Sir Blunderbrain, who long ago rescued some ancient Fraggles who had gotten sucked into the Terrible Tunnel, at the cost of getting trapped forever in the Tunnel himself. Gobo, Red, and Mokey don't believe the Tunnel exists, but Boober and Wembley think there's a chance it might. During a game of Hidey-Ho (an out-of-water version of Marco Polo), Wembley becomes It, and the Tunnel creepily calls, "Ho!" in response to Wembley's shouts of "Hidey!" Because Wembley's blindfolded, he [[BlindMistake thinks it's one of the other Fraggles playing]], follows the voice to the Tunnel, and nearly gets sucked into it himself.
