* ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'': Mentioned in the Valley Forge arc, where the Special Forces team manage to plant a tracker on Frank during a fight. One raises the possibility (or rather the certainty) that Frank found it and fed it to a dog, and once they start looking can be heard muttering "Here Bluey, here boy". As it turns out, Frank ''did'' find it, but uses it to lure them into a trap.

In the episode "If It Smells Like an Ed", as part of his [[DisproportionateRetribution revenge scheme]] against the Eds for his {{wedgie}}, Jimmy plants several fake clues for the trio to track while he sets up the rest of his plan to ensure the three won't be able to escape from the kids' ire ''and'' The Kanker Sisters.Sisters.
** A variant of this occurs in "Mission Ed-Possible". Edd is entrusted by his school's principal to deliver Ed and Eddy's report cards to their parents, but Ed and Eddy want to change their failed grades and spent the entirety of the episode chasing after Edd. When they finally do catch him however, it turns out to be all for naught as Edd secretly entrusted the report cards to Rolf just before they both left the school building, so Rolf can deliver the report cards in Edd's place while the latter distracted Ed and Eddy with the chase. This leads to a win-win scenario for both Edd and Rolf, as the former completed his task from the principal while the latter received the "Report Card Delivery" badge from the Urban Rangers.
