* ''Series/NightCourt'' features an in-universe example to justify a ClipShow. An auditor comes by the courtroom to challenge the staff about the outrageous expenses they've incurred over the years, prompting them to explain (via flashback) the various weird scenarios they've experienced. When they finish, the auditor tells them that they're all going to jail for making up such ridiculous stories and transparently attempting to fleece the city for money...only for a loud sound to be heard in the courtroom proper--somehow a ''live adult elephant'' has gotten inside. The auditor takes one look at the elephant and realizes that the staff wasn't exaggerating.

* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCoven'': One of the season's main villains is Madame Delphine [=LaLaurie=], an [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain unrepentant racist and enslaver]] who uses [[HumanResources the blood of the slaves she tortures]] for her beauty treatments. In the show, several of her slaves lead an uprising against her and [[BuriedAlive bury her alive]]. However, [=LaLaurie=] was a real person, and while there was a revolt against her, it wasn't led by slaves--it was mostly-white citizens of New Orleans, including ''other slave owners'', who learned about her horrific tortures when some of the locals investigated the [=LaLaurie=] mansion after a fire and discovered the mutilated slaves. The citizens were so disgusted by [=LaLaurie=]'s actions that they formed an angry mob and stormed her plantation, forcing her into exile. Granted, this wasn't for entirely noble reasons--part of the motivation was that there were strict laws, known as "code noirs," that detailed how slaves should be treated, and [=LaLaurie=] was flagrantly breaking them--but presumably Creator/RyanMurphy thought that the idea of other enslavers leading an attack on the mansion as too much for audiences to believe.
