* ''VideoGame/MarioParty'': The minigame Mosh-Pit Playroom has all characters shrunken and encased within a miniature ball pit that is initially empty, until a Fly Guy appears to drop 200 color-coded bouncy balls: 50 red, 50 blue, 50 yellow and 50 green. Each character has to pick all 50 balls of their corresponding color (which is tied to their player order, not the character's features) to win the minigame. This being ''Mario Party'', each player can sabotage the others by stomping on them. If five minutes pass and no one managed to get all their balls yet, the minigame ends in a tie.

* The ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''' episode "Johnny Bravo Meets Donny Osmond" features Osmond as a [[AdamWesting fictionalized version of himself]] who Mama Bravo hires to babysit Johnny. At one point, Donny takes Johnny to the local SuckECheeses and tosses him into the ball pit. Though not dirty, it ''is'' incredibly deep and apparently nearly impossible to escape; at one point, Johnny meets a boy who's been trapped inside for years.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': In [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS6E6TheFather "The Father"]], The kids try to cheer Richard up after his father walks out on him again. They head to Joyful Burger where he has permission to eat to his heart's content if it'll make him feel better. The PostStressOvereating wasn't enough, so they let him play in the ball pit ''while'' the staff shovels food into his mouth. This just ends up traumatizing the staff.

'''Anais:''' I don't think anyone would enjoy the sight of a grown man smearing burger meat into his face in a kids ball pit.\\
'''Gumball:''' Yup. Even in Japan, that's pretty niche.

* In the ''Snow Cones '' episode of ''LetsPlay/AnalogControl'', Michael recalls he had a dream about a disgusting ball pit with a demon in it. He and Phoenix then riff on whether or not it would make a decent episode of ''{{Literature/Goosebumps}}''.

* Ball-pits can sometimes be found in nightclubs, raves and similar events aimed at adults. The appeal is understandable as events like these offer an environment where adults can act carefree as they like without worrying about being around kids. Unfortunately, the prevalence of drugs, alcohol and sweaty bodies will mean that this trope will almost certainly come into play by the end of the event. And even without the dirt and grime, it is pretty common for the bottoms of such pits to be lined with lost phones, keys, wallets and other junk.
