** In "22 Short Films About Springfield", Moe tells Barney that he once had NASA calculate the drunk's bar tab, [[NotHyperbole and the bill is in]]. He read off 70 billion dollars, but [[SubvertedTrope that turned out to be]] for the Voyager spacecraft. The actual result was only [[DoubleSubversion 14 billion dollars]]. (For comparison, assuming that he drinks five pints of beer a day at 2.50 a pint, he'd hit that sum in a little over 3 million years.)

* One ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode has Bender WorkOffTheDebt at Elzar's restaurant because the crew didn't expect the bill to be so high. (They didn't expect it because Elzar had ''blinded'' Leela earlier and led them to believe the meal would be free.)
** In the DVD commentary, producer David X. Cohen says this was based off a real-life incident that happened to a writer on ''The Simpsons''; he (the writer) and a group of 10 friends went for a meal prepared by a shared acquaintance who was a chef. The chef told them he would "take care of" the meal, which they all assumed meant the meal was on the house. After a lavish meal which included wine, champagne and cigars, they were shocked to receive a bill for $3,500.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** In "Krusty Love", Mr. Krabs is shocked at the cost of the bill ($100) for his fancy dinner with Mrs. Puff. The waiter apologizes and brings him the real bill, which he finds even more shocking (''[[FromBadToWorse $100,000]]''). [=SpongeBob=] himself [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.
** In "Krusty Towers", Mr. Krabs is initially shocked at his hospital bill ($15,000) but decides to send [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, and Squidward to med school to get in on the racket. Earlier in that episode, Mr. Krabs turned his restaurant into a hotel after learning how much the last hotel he was a guest at charged for a hamburger. His earlier reaction was getting his claw inside his mouth to retrieve the hamburger and give it back to avoid paying for it. Surprisingly, aside from being covered in saliva, it had no sign of being a previously eaten hamburger.
** In "Whale of a Birthday", Mr. Krabs gives [=SpongeBob=] his credit card to buy birthday presents for Pearl. At the end of the episode, he's bought a mountain of presents and hired the boy band Boys Who Cry, then gives Mr. Krabs the bill for all of it. We don't get to see the total amount, but Squidward did mention that the bare minimum cost of hiring Boys Who Cry just to show up is $1,000,000, and Mr. Krabs wasn't too happy with how much [=SpongeBob=] had charged him.

** In "Tutor Sauce", Mr. Krabs is handed a bill for all of the damages to the Krusty Krab that [=SpongeBob=] incurred with his driving, which included rebuilding the entire restaurant after it was destroyed in an oil tanker explosion. When [=SpongeBob=] drives into the side of the building, the contractor takes the bill and adds onto the total amount.
** In "What's Eating Patrick?", Patrick is unsure if he can compete in a Krabby Patty eating competition since it requires him to eat the patties whole if he wants to win, meaning he can't taste them. Mr. Krabs threatens to charge him for all of the patties he ate while training, and the bill has an impossible amount of zeroes.
** In "Drive Happy", [=SpongeBob=]'s [[AIIsACrapshoot snobby new self-driving car]] takes them to a fancy mechanic place and sticks [=SpongeBob=] with an enormous bill.
** In "Plankton's Old Chum", Plankton makes up the holiday Chum Day to get [=SpongeBob=] to hide his chum throughout the town, which results in Bikini Bottom being covered in chum the next morning. While everyone is enjoying it and Plankton takes credit for it, the health inspector charges him $1,000,000,000 unless he eats it all. He complies, ending up very obese at the end of the episode.
** "Bubble Bass's Tab" shows that Bubble Bass has been getting out of paying for his extremely large food bills at the Krusty Krab by putting them on a tab. Krabs finally has enough of it and declares Bubble Bass cannot order anymore food until he pays up his massive tab. Bubble Bass, being a childish, MoneyDumb BasementDweller, can't pay the tab and flees until Squidward and [=SpongeBob=] defeat him in a game of Three Deadly Challenges. Bubble Bass is forced to work off the debt, but he's so ''terrible'' at manual labor due to being lazy, overdramatic and obese that he begins causing chaos in the restaurant. It gets so bad that the Krusty Krab patrons actually ''pitch in to help pay off the bill.''
* At the end of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Roger Rabbit Short|s}}'' "Tummy Trouble", Roger does a WildTake and faints at the sight of his hospital bill.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Classic Disney Short|s}}'' "The Trial of WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck" has Donald going into a fancy restaurant to get away from the rain and orders a small cup of coffee. After being served a thimble-sized cup, he gets angry and decides to eat his packed lunch at the table. The maitre'd is outraged, so he decides to charge Donald for his own lunch. Unable to pay the bill with the one nickel he has on his person, he is sentenced to pay it off washing dishes... a decision the maitre'd regrets after he breaks most of the restaurant's flatware in the process.
** In the ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseWorks'' short "Donald's Dinner Date", Donald takes Daisy on a date with the promise of keeping his temper under control. In the end he does manage to do so, even at the hands of Goofy as his waiter, but Daisy winds up losing her self-control over how Goofy handled their service, despite Donald trying to console her. After Goofy hands him the bill however, which simply shows the total at "REALLY Expensive!", he goes '''[[HairTriggerTemper completely nuts.]]'''
** In another "Mickey Mouse Works" short, "How To Wash Dishes", Goofy becomes tired of his same old job as a dishwasher, so he decides to go on vacation with the help of a narrator--and a shiny new credit card! The entire short shows him going on vacation including buying plane tickets, clothes, and souvenirs all with his credit card, to which he simply tells the person involved in the co-payment to "Charge it!" As the short ends, he is dining at a fancy restaurant when his credit card is declined due to a racked up bill, leaving him back at square one working off the debt by washing dishes.

'''Malloy:''' Uh, that is not a phone number, that is the amount due.
* Taken to a ridiculous extreme in the cartoon "Whining Out" from the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode "Life in the 90's". After tying down the waiter to get some service at a very snooty restaurant, Buster, Babs, Plucky, and Hamton each end up getting a tiny stale piece of cheese in gravy, each item costing tens of thousands of dollars and totally to "Everything you own and your first born". They pay the bill using Montana Max's student I.D.

After spending the episode trying to get rid of the acne by rubbing his face with Grim's bones after a mystic tells him to, Sperg gets rid of it with [[CordonBleughChef Billy]]'s caustic batch of stew, which also [[WipeThatSmileOffYourFace causes his mouth and nose to disappear]]. Sperg goes back to Dr. Ted to fix his mouth, but he just assumes the bag worked and charges him $16,000 for it, which Sperg can't object to.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' episode "Green Thumbs Down", Jon buys groceries delivered to his house. When handed the bill, he screams at the total amount due, then shoves the money right into the deliverer's mouth and angrily gives up buying groceries altogether because he thinks paying $1.93 for tomatoes is outrageous. He buys gardening supplies to grow his own vegetables -- [[WasItReallyWorthIt and ends up spending $200 per lettuce leaf and $300 per radish]].

After Joker's gone a little spending spree, a man from the IRS tells Joker he has to pay inheritance tax and gives him a sum that sends Mistah J [[FaceFault flying off of his chair.]] The real kicker is that most of the money Joker received was fake, but admitting it would be telling the world he got played by a dead man.
