* In the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "The Ducksters", Porky is on a rather sadistic radio quiz show called ''Truth or AAAAHHH!!'' (a parody of ''Series/TruthOrConsequences'') hosted by Daffy Duck, where Porky has to answer some rather impossible questions or "pay the penalty". These penalties include Porky being crushed by the Rock of Gibraltar, [[DrowningPit rained upon by Niagara Falls]], [[BoundAndGagged tied up]] and [[NonFatalExplosions blown up]] with [[CartoonBomb dynamite]], [[DropTheHammer pounded with a mallet]], [[ConveyorBeltODoom threatened by a buzz saw]], [[AnvilOnHead crushed by a safe]], and other forms of abuse.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': The titular series hosted by Chris [=McLean=] zig-zags this. In the first season there were dangerous challenges that could cause the campers to get hurt, but these injuries were really just played for laughs, and the only deaths seen were from random animals that were unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and some interns Chris said died setting up the challenges. In later seasons though as Chris went through {{Flanderization}} he slowly became TheSociopath, losing whatever little concern he had for the campers' safety and making his challenges as dangerous and potentially deadly as possible. Though no contestants in the various seasons have ever died due to playing the game, it has generally become accepted that joining the show means putting your life at risk and/or ensuring being tortured by Chris for the chance to win $1,000,000.

The BUMs has to prevent the asteroid from colliding with a planet, and their opponent Humonga has to ensure the collision. The planet in question is Earth, and Humonga has just as many wins as the BUMs.

* The entire premise of ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheHollow'': [[spoiler:[[PlayingWithATrope Played with]], as while the whole thing turns out to really be a virtual reality game, it was never meant to harm the players' health. However, the game's code does become damaged somehow and the host is legitimately worried by that turn of events potentially killing the players.]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Wild Cards," in which ComicBook/TheJoker hides time bombs all throughout the Las Vegas Strip and uses hidden cameras to film the League racing to find them while simultaneously fighting the Royal Flush Gang.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpidermanAndHisAmazingFriends'': "Seven Little Superheroes" sees the Chameleon try to eliminate each of the various Marvel superheroes in brutal fashion, one-by-one. He uses drones disguised as each of the good guys in a "kill or be killed" game both for his own amusement and to wipe out those who would prevent him from achieving his goals. However, he finds that he can't kill off another little superhero that came along: Miss Lion! Apparently, changing his shape doesn't change his scent and this allowed the heroes to get the drop on him.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "The Ducksters", Porky is on a rather sadistic radio quiz show called ''Truth or AAAAHHH!!'' (a parody of ''Series/TruthOrConsequences'') hosted by Daffy Duck, where Porky has to answer some rather impossible questions or "pay the penalty".

* In ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', Pluck and Dizzy compete on a game show called ''That's Incredibly Stupid'', where the idea is to complete tasks you'd have to ''be'' incredibly stupid to attempt. Round one is to compete in a demolition derby (''without'' a car), and round two involves finding a needle in a haystack (which is ''set on fire'' and has fireworks planted inside). Plucky survives those by putting the brunt of it on Dizzy, but when told the last round is simply to judge a beauty contest, he insists on doing it himself. The host neglects to tell him that the contestants are all of the AmazonianBeauty type, and all are horrible {{Sore Loser}}s. (Plucky doesn't complete this one; he was a little ''too'' stupid.)
** Montana Max and Babs Bunny also compete in a game show called "Win, Lose, or... KERPLOWWY!" which sees its contestants answer trivia questions or suffer humiliating, and often painful, consequences. Naturally Max bribes host Fink Winkleman into helping him beat Babs, but Buster Bunny manages to catch onto their game and turn the tables on the two.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' episode "The Devil to Pay", the heroes were conned by a demon named Dib Devlin into competing in a game show with their souls on the line. Unfortunately for Dib (who was clearly a devil behind on his quota) he underestimated their intelligence, and had [[EvilCannotComprehendGood no faith in human nature]], seeing as the last part of the three-part game could be won by one of them admitting to doing something bad. (Which Ray eventually did.) Even worse, he was a SoreLoser who tried to kill them after he lost, but proved a complete wimp once Peter actually got his hands on him.
* The ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Fool Me Twice" has Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson participate in a [[SadisticGameShow sadistic]] ''Series/TakeshisCastle'' {{expy}} with a deadly obstacle course and a crazed host who gets to punch them in the face with a lethal amount of force if they don't finish in time. Before they begin the host shows a montage of his previous victims, with a horribly disfigured man being referred to as "the only contestant who didn't die".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Slugterra}}'': The Shane gang is subjected to this by the Game Master in "The Thrill of the Game". The Game Master's modus operandi is to lure unsuspecting slingers into a far off cavern called Lands End Cavern. There, he forces them to play "game", made up of dangerous obstacles and puzzles.
