* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E6PrickUpYourEars Prick Up Your Ears]]", when Peter shows up at Meg's sex education class where Lois is teaching, Lois asks him why he is there. Peter tells her that he is not going to miss his chance to share his knowledge with Meg's class, as he is already missed out on too many other opportunities. What follows is a cutaway where Peter appears as a straight Tetromino about to dive into a narrow gap built by other Tetrominos. Unfortunately for Peter, he accidentally lands just outside the gap, which the other Tetrominos berate him for. Bruce then appears as a Skew Tetromino and lands on top of Peter, saying "I know I don't fit here, but I'm just gonna settle right in."
