Shinji Gets Grounded is a series of GoAnimate videos based on Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The animation follows the standard format of the X gets grounded with the outrageous amounts of time and Long List of forbidden things. The Behavior Card Day is only used twice, once in each season. The first season is here, and the second, including 36 Chambers of Grounding is here.

- Better than a Bare Bulb: Half of the animation's comedy comes from the Bathos, the other half from this.
- Broken Record: Asuka: "Go ahead and engage me, engage me, engage me, engage me, engage me at McDonald's"

- Felony Misdemeanor: Wearing fake shoes got Shinji punished.
- Parrot Exposition: The news segments, like other GoAnimate grounded videos, have this format.
