* ''WesternAnimation/AceVenturaPetDetective'': In the episode "Get Piggy", Ace is revealed to be a big fan of Gabe the Pig, a [[TalkingAnimal talking pig]] who's a movie star and who's been kidnapped; so much so that Ace is part of Gabe's fan club, knows the rules of the club by heart, and even [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules offers to take Gabe's case for free]]. However, after investigating a bit about Gabe, Ace is shocked to learn that [[NiceCharacterMeanActor Gabe is actually an egotistical, spoiled, violent jerkass]] who no one can stand. [[spoiler: And to top it all off, it turns out, Gabe himself staged his own kidnapping as a way to return to the spotlight, and even kidnaps and tries to kill Ace.]] Ace even reacts with disgust when he learns that a villain in an episode after that has an autographed photo of Gabe.
