Let’s look at some famous Gilligan Cut’s in Cartoons and Movies! No need to explain this concept… For those unaware, it is when a character says "I'm not doing this", and then said character does or experiences just that for the sake of comedic effect.

With this in mind, starting off we have the Hula Drag from The Lion King (https://youtu.be/HwuYGCUORuE?si=9s59XbLSzcM5od_y), just before Simba & Co.'s battle with Scar and his hyena minions, Timon was put up with creating a diversion. What better way than to dress in drag and do the hula. Fun fact: Timon's actor Nathan Lane even adlibbed that specific line and they would reference this again in Lion King 1 & ½.

Up next is the Lego Movie’s ship rescue https://youtu.be/T1CK4OJmQeY?si=eEvwtgzCIRJX_V6c. When Emmett, Batman and the rest of the gang are floating out at sea on the couch, Batman reminds everyone of just that and that no gigantic ship will suddenly appear to save them, right? Well MetalBeard’s pirate ship says otherwise, playing as both a Gilligan Cut and Deus Ex Machina.

Next up is Stewie’s backstabbing cut, pun intended in Family Guy https://youtu.be/FSs5wIb5_aA?si=n-1amcJzH2OBxWQL. Upon sneaking out to run away with his Teddy Bear, Ruper, he’s at least grateful not to be stabbed out on the streets. At first it just rains, but alas it happened anyway.

In Toy Story 2 https://youtu.be/rGouLqVXkS8?si=RTXGD2U9-Tun9TcO, when the toys need to get through a ventilation grate to rescue Woody, fake Buzz suggests Rex to ‘use his head’. To think of a plan? Nope, actually use it as a battering ram to bust the gate open.

In American Dad’s Christmas episode “For Whom the Sleigh Bell Tolls“ https://youtu.be/6QLlwjI6Xn4?si=8mVe6TQHXfSH8nRd, Stan promises Francine he will not buy Steve a gun for Christmas. You have no idea what he ends up doing.

And then there’s Monsters Incorporated https://youtu.be/ifwM5XH9ghk?si=F7JyPHRgH2oW3Oaf where Sulley and Mike are discussing how to get Boo back to her home. When the option is taking her in by hand, Mike accidentally gives Sulley the greatest idea he’s ever heard. Period.

Shrek 2 has this joke when Shrek and Fiona has received a message from the King and Queen from Far Far Away saying they’re delighted to reunite their Daughter and her new Husband. Shrek doesn’t want to go because of their mosterous appearance, and Shrek says he doesn’t want to go and that final. They ended up going anyways. :P

The best Gilligan's Cut was in Freakazoid, where right after it happened with him getting caught as a consequence, he admits he wanted to do a Gilligan's Cut intentionally just like in a scene from the show F-Troop, all before cutting to a clip of the scene he was referencing.
