* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'':
** A few RunningGags in [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness early radio episodes]] harken to sheer zaniness. Mrs. Davis' initial love of bizarre recipes and Miss Brooks comically bad driving defy reality. A few of them would survive in the more straight-laced television episodes, at least when a SoundToScreenAdaptation was made of a story originally produced for the radio. For example, one morning Miss Brooks tells Mrs Davis she' can't drive her car because she left it parked in a hotel lobby (having driven it through the revolving doors).
** Mr. Conklin suffers from the trope in "Home Cooked Meal". At the beginning of the episode, he ends up locked in the Cafeteria freezer. He emerges covered with ice. Later on, Conklin walks into Mr. Boynton's kitchen; he's unaware that the gas hadn't been connected properly to the new stove. Mr. Conklin can't see and light's a match. Fortunately, Mr. Conklin only suffers a suit full of suit and pieces of an exploded turkey that should have been cooking in the oven.

* ''Film/KungFuHustle'': Everything operates somewhere between Wuxia-style WireFu and ToonPhysics. Sing repeatedly suffers AmusingInjuries throughout the film (that he usually deserves), only to be fine in the next scene, and at one point is chased by a CrankyLandlady (who is also a martial arts master) in a scene that looks like something taken right out of a WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner short.

The same applies to the other family comedies of Creator/JohnHughes which also feature AmusingInjuries, CartoonPhysics among others. Even Creator/RogerEbert's review of ''Film/BabysDayOut'' agreed that some of the humorous moments could have worked better in a [[WesternAnimation/RogerRabbitShorts Roger Rabbit & Baby Herman]] cartoon.

* ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas2000'' has plenty of cartoon gags, setpieces and costumes, with cartoon storyboard artists being hired to work on the film and the set designer not wanting a single straight line on set.

Sometimes, a live-action TV show or movie starts doing cartoonish things, such as characters recovering from or remaining immune to something that would normally injure or kill someone, characters getting flattened, or characters engaging in over-the-top cartoon-style violence.
