'''Elefun:''' Then who's Peng You?\\
'''Pandarama:''' You!\\
'''Elefun:''' No, I'm Elefun.\\

* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewWoodyWoodpeckerShow'' In one episode, Woody is given a physical (of sorts). For the eye chart, he is told to read the first letter. That letter is U. The doctor misinterprets this as "you". Another letter is K, which is misunderstood as "kay" (OK). Another letter is I, misunderstood as the first-person pronoun.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'', Bird Brain has this shtick involving his minions: [[OwlsAskWho an owl that says "Who?"]] and a blind bat that asks "Where?". In future episodes, he has more minions to add to this: a lady sheep, or a ewe[[note]]You[[/note]] and a {{duck}} named Skip. This was referenced in one episode when it was shown he hired two more minions: a goose named "Peeck Ma" (pronounced "Peck Me"), and an alligator named "Beetme" (which is pronounced "Bite Me", resulting in Bird Brain firing him).

* ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlack: The Animated Series'' has fun with this, since agents are all named after single letters, leading to some confusion whenever Agent U was mentioned. This always elicited cries of "Not ''you'' U, ''Agent'' U!" Also inverted once, with J deliberately misinterpreting "We asked for you" as "We asked for (Agent) U", and getting a reversal of the standard line in response. Funnily enough, this almost never happened with Agent K, despite being simply called "K" several times; the one exception was when K was accidentally neuralyzed.
