* ''ComicStrip/{{Crabgrass}}'' originally started as a fairly grounded in reality slice of life comic about two best friends living in a pre-2000 era and getting up in typical childish shenanigans. Then supernatural elements began to enter the comic, starting with Gene's subplot where he encounters a society of living mascot costumes during a September - November 2021 story arc. This was followed by an arc where Kevin becomes a mutant with telepathic powers and a class of superpowered students is brought in to defeat him, an arc where the boys encounter a sentient ice cream truck, and an arc where Kevin and Miles [[FreakyFridayFlip switch bodies]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': The series started out largely as a working class family dealing with every day life issues. As the show went on, more and more fantastical plot elements began to creep in, eventually hitting what many consider its zenith with the episode ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E13SaddlesoreGalactica Saddlesore Galactica]]'' which featured a plotline where Bart and Homer found out that all horse jockeys are actually elves that live under the earth in disguise. Since then, it has tried to avoid outright fantasy elements outside of Treehouse of Horror specials or non-canon one offs, but the plots can still verge on the unrealistic side at times.

* Not unlike ''Alpha and Omega'', ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' in its first movie was fairly grounded in reality and ''much'' darker and sadder than its later installments. However, even as early as [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeTheMeltdown the second film]], the human characters were put OutOfFocus and the tone of the series was starting to become more like a zany cartoon compared to the first movie, eventually getting to the point that the plot of [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeCollisionCourse the fifth film]] revolves around the cast trying to save the world from an asteroid and makes magic canon to the series to boot.

* ''Series/{{Oz}}'': The first few seasons are quirky, but gritty and brutally realistic. Later seasons began introducing increasingly bizarre elements, such as a storyline about "aging drugs" straight out of a sci-fi story and a character seemingly developing magical powers before mysteriously disappearing ([[DoingInTheWizard though this was later]] [[{{Retcon}} retconned]] [[DoingInTheWizard to him being killed and entombed in the walls of the prison]]) to a character who claimed to be possessed by the Devil, and might actually have been considering he could speak in TheVoiceOfTheLegion.
