History SuspiciouslySpecificDenial / WesternAnimation

* Hilariously mocked in the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "Bugs And Thugs", when Rocky and Mugsy are hiding from the police (actually Bugs disguising his voice) in the stove:
-->'''"Cop":''' Alright, rabbit! Where's Rocky? Where is he hiding?
-->'''Bugs:''' He's not in the stove!
-->'''"Cop":''' Ooooh, he's hiding in the stove, huh?
-->'''Bugs:''' Would I turn on the gas if he was in there? [''Bugs proceeds to turn on the gas'']
-->'''"Cop":''' You might, rabbit, you might.
-->'''Bugs:''' Would I throw a lighted match if he was in there? [''Bugs throws a lit match into the oven, causing the inside where Rocky and Mugsy are hiding to explode'']
** Right after that, a real cop shows up, and Bugs starts the same routine again, but this time [[PreferJailToTheProtagonist Rocky and Mugsy leap out of the stove and surrender]].
** Hilariously spoofed ''and'' subverted in "Southern Fried Rabbit", as well. Sam visits the home of [[Literature/GoneWithTheWind Scarlet O'Hara]] to find Bugs. Bugs, [[PaperThinDisguise dressed as Scarlett]], rushes to block the door of a room exclaiming the rabbit is "Not in here!" Sam, fooled by Bugs' disguise, takes that to mean Bugs is indeed in the room. He opens the door and gets blasted by a cannon. When Bugs repeats this trick with another room, Sam decides to give up.
* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse Mickey Mouseworks]]'' short "Purple Pluto", in which Minnie accidentally [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin turns Pluto purple]], she heads off to the store to find a solution. When Mickey asks what's up, she shouts out, "Pluto is ''not'' purple!"

-->'''Rev. Putty:''' And all this is the fault of just one, lone person. ''[[{{Beat}} [beat]]]'' Um, Orel, can you excuse us for a moment while we talk?
-->'''Orel:''' You and everybody?
-->'''Rev. Putty:''' Yeah, don't worry, it's not about you.

** In the episode ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 A Canterlot Wedding]]'' at one point Applejack asks whether Twilight might be acting possessive of her brother, Shining Armor. Twilight angrily retorts, "I am ''not'' being possessive, and I am ''not'' taking it out on Cadance!" Nopony had mentioned the second part. This probably contributes to them later taking Cadance's side when Twilight accuses her of being evil.
** In the episode ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep Read It And Weep]]'', Rainbow Dash invokes this when intentionally losing a board game to Twilight and Fluttershy in order to get back to secretly reading a Daring Do book.

* Ramjet of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' IS this trope, so much so that his [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ramjet_(Animated) article]] on Wiki/TFWikiDotNet has it as a running gag:

-->'''Arnold:''' This doesn't have anything to do with Helga, does it?\\
'''Pheobe:''' Helga?!\\
'''Arnold:''' Yeah, with how she treats you?\\
'''Pheobe:''' Of course not! Th-that's completely ridiculous! I mean, just because Helga's been waiting on me hand and foot ever since the bus accident, that was essentially her fault, that doesn't mean that I would falsely prolong my injury in some sort of passive aggressive attempt to reap the benefits of her guilty conscience and simultaneously give her a taste of her own bossy medicine!

* ''MegaBabies'': In the episode "Journey to the Center of the Sewer" after [[ItMakesSenseInContext Buck accidentally flushes Meg and Derrick down the toilet]], Nurse Lazlo waits outside the bathroom and asks to check on them, in which Buck replies "Nobody got [[BabyTalk flushied down the toisie!]]"
