Basically, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
A character has agreed to give up a certain thing, like alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, certain foods (or a certain food), a particular hobby, masturbation/pornography viewing, or sex. Unfortunately, everywhere they look, they're reminded of the item they've given up, sometimes via Meat-O-Vision. As the episode goes on, their resolve is severely tested as their Jerkassnote or clueless friends and (clueless) bystanders will do their best to tempt them. You can expect karma to be a bitch and offer dozens of free "once in a lifetime, sent from heaven" opportunities to indulge in the vice.
If they stick to their guns but later give in, the opportunity is gone for good and they're made a laughing stock. If they pretend to abstain, they will get busted, big time, by everybody. If they're particularly strong-willed and go through the whole episode without giving in, they might even get a particularly awesome reward for their good behavior, which can be something obvious (a promised reward like concert tickets) or something they'll never even notice they got. Like, say, the chocolate they refused to eat was laced with cyanide or laxatives. If it's a Sadist Show, expect this abstinent behavior to leave them worse off than before. Only rarely will the abstinence be its own reward.
Sometimes they aren't abstaining from a certain thing but are trying not to think of something unpleasant or something they know they can't get. Or maybe they are trying to give something up, but only temporarily, such as on a bet. If it's bathroom-related, it's a Potty Emergency. If it's an entirely new vice to the character, it's a Compressed Vice. If they seemed to be coping perfectly well before they tried to quit, they're a Functional Addict.
A case of Truth in Television: the forsaken item/activity isn't any more common, but the person who gave it up is more prone to notice its absence and to be tempted by the Delicious Distraction when it presents itself, and in the case of substance abuse, friends and acquaintances of the people in recovery may offer them said drugs to discourage them from kicking the habit, as addicts feel better with themselves when they are around other people with the same addiction.note If you're trying to quit on a vice, whatever it is, a real friend would never encourage you to keep on it, and if you think you have problems with a certain addiction, always look for professional help.
Easily invoked both intentionally and unintentionally: "diet sabotage" is a serious issue for people trying to lose weight around food-generous friends, and drug dealers' jobs mostly depend on undermining recovering drug addicts' recoveries.
See also Warm Bloodbags Are Everywhere for the horror version. See also Frequently-Broken Unbreakable Vow for general promises rather than abstinence, and The World Mocks Your Loss when it's related to losing a partner. Often seen with We Want Our Jerk Back!, Stupid Sexy Flanders, and the Obsessive Hobby Episode. Compare Going Cold Turkey, when the addiction is broken by a single self-imposed withdrawal phase. Can lead to Radish Cure where the character learns his lesson as a result of consuming too many "cold turkeys". Your Television Hates You and Mocking Music are subtropes, for when the "cold turkeys" are only being broadcast on the TV and radio respectively.

The Penguins of Madagascar: In "Herring Impaired", the penguins eat aged brined herring that results in them contracting a rare brain disease that turns them all into fish-obsessed psychopaths. Rico, being the only one who didn't actually eat any herring, has to keep them from eating anymore fish for a whole day to keep the effects from becoming permanent. Unfortunately for Rico, there seems to be fish almost everywhere they go. Fortunately, he's able to trick the infected penguins into eating a large wooden sign shaped like a fish until they return to normal.

Adventure Time: In "His Hero", Finn and Jake are persuaded by Billy that violence is not the answer and they swear to find non-violent ways to help people. They immediately run into situations where violence would be the perfect solution. They also discover that they suck at non-violent solutions.

Done in a very terrifying fashion in Kamen Rider Fourze, where the Monsters of the Week become addicted to the Zodiarts Switches. So far, we've only seen one of the Switchers, Miura, who hallucinates seeing Zodiarts Switches everywhere and is too afraid to go back to school, as he can't control himself. It's done in such a way to be pure horror.

In Bedtime Stories (2008), a man named Skeeter (the main character) finds out that the bedtime stories that he and two kids he's babysitting tell at night keep coming true. In one story, the six-year-old Patrick makes the main character of the story catch on fire. Skeeter worries that the incinerated character represents him (probably because his name, Skeeto, was similar to his own name) and becomes paranoid that he's going to catch fire. When listening to the car radio, all the songs have fire-related lyrics (Burn Baby Burn, I'm on Fire, etc).

In the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, Greg has to pee but is not allowed because Rodrick is threatening him with death. At first he can put it out of his mind, but then he can't because a sprinkler is going off, a man is watering his lawn, a tap is running, and there is an aquarium in his room.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air:
In the episode "Be My Baby Tonight", Ashley asks Will about sex. Will tries not to think about it, but then he suddenly hears double entendres everywhere. When Ashley's boyfriend comes in for their date, he asks if she's ready ("NO MAN SHE'S ONLY 13!"). Then, on the TV, the game announcer asks "Where is the most unusual place you've made whoopee?" Then, when Will turns on the radio, all that comes on is the song "I Wanna Sex You Up" (which is a real song). Carlton comes in and says he's late for his date with his girlfriend who can "tie a knot with her tongue". Then Hilary walks in asking where all the whipped cream went. Will finally yells "What is it with your preoccupation with sex!"
In "Home is Where the Heart Attack Is", Uncle Phil has to go on a diet and does not particularly like the idea of giving up his favorite foods cold turkey. He even uses that exact phrasing... only to start thinking about actual turkey ("with pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes... Butter-drenched dressing... Tiny onions swimming in a sea of cream sauce...") He eventually can't stay away from unhealthy foods and has a heart attack.

In the Lamput episode "Diet Doc", Fat Doc takes a drive through town and tries not to let some nearby fast food restaurants tempt him into ruining his new diet. Lamput, who is in the car with him, abuses this to his advantage by morphing into a chicken drumstick, which is just enough to make Fat Doc go to one of the restaurants to gorge down on some fried chicken anyway.

Enter the Gungeon takes this to ridiculous levels with Spice (yes, like in Dune). It's a single-use active item that, once used, also dramatically increases the chances of more of them spawning instead of other items. Which is bad because the benefits have diminishing returns and come with increasingly serious downsides. After just two hits, there is no good reason to use any more, but you also can hardly round a corner without tripping over one.

The Simpsons:
In one episode, Homer orders a gun. He has to wait an entire week before getting his gun, but all he can see during the week are targets (a truck bearing the Target logo, a row of ducks, his sisters-in-law, Ned Flanders... Ned Flanders again...).
When Lisa turns vegetarian, everyone seems to force her to eat meat, and events culminate during Homer's barbecue party.
When Homer gives up beer, he cannot escape Duff advertising and cans of beer appear to be everywhere (including literally bombarding him with beer cans).
Lisa was addicted to the "Cory Hotline" and is forced to never call it from home. She cheats and uses the school's phone. With Marge's help, she resolves to spend a whole day without calling, made incredibly difficult because of withdrawal-like symptoms and Maggie playing with a toy phone. Although it seems that she fell asleep dialing the hotline, Marge finds out she succeeded after all, and only dialed information to know the time and prove she went the whole day.
When Homer agrees to use The Swear Jar, multiple aggravating incidents happen, culminating in a beehive dropping on him from a tree, after which the view cuts to him with stings all over his arm putting an entire handful of change in the jar.
In "The City of New York versus Homer Simpson", town drunk Barney Gumble is declared the evening's designated driver. Of course, that's the night that Duff Beer spokesman "Duffman" shows up to put on the party that Barney won (but obviously can't take part in).
In a comic book, Marge makes Homer agree to eat only one doughnut a day. As he drives to work, he sees a doughnut-shaped cloud. Then more such clouds. And then a cloud shaped like an open box full of doughnuts, with the words "EAT US, HOMER" written on it. Naturally, he does not stick to the plan for long. That was the first issue. He does sort of stick to the plan, but cheats.
In the episode "The Last Temptation of Homer", Homer is attracted to his co-worker, Mindy, and tries to watch television to take his mind off her:
Bart decides to quit the Junior Campers because they don't let you have a knife until you pass an exam and read a book on knife safety. Then he walks past Moe's Tavern, and Moe chases out a customer (Hans Moleman) with a knife. Then Moleman draws a massive Sword Cane knife. Then Martin asks Bart to help him with the ribbon on his box of candies and says he'd be glad to share, at which Jimbo easily cuts off the ribbon with a knife and steals the box. Then he walks past Doctor Hibbert performing surgery with a pocket knife, successfully removing an about-to-burst appendix and saving a man's life. He then announces "Don't thank me, thank the knife!" as the crowd starts cheering.
In "The Fat and the Furriest", Homer develops a phobia of bears after footage of him running from a bear is put on the news. First, he freaks out when he sees Maggie's teddy bear. Then he accidentally knocks down Maggie's bookshelf, seeing such books as The Bear Went Over the Mountain, The Berenstain Bears, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. When he runs into the kitchen, he knocks some grocery bags off the table, which have such items as Super Sugar Crisp cereal, Gummi Bears, Teddy Grahams, Snuggle fabric softener, and a bear-shaped bottle of honey.

Happened twice in Squid Girl. First in Season 1, when Sanae tries to quit her obsession with Ika — quickly descending into full-on Squid-O-Vision as everything suddenly looks like Ika... including a scene straight out of AKIRA as tiny Chibi-Ikas dance around her at night. Later in Season 2, Ika tries to get over her obsession with shrimps and ends up with a classic case of this — including a whole heap of "today only" offers at the supermarket. Then, somewhat atypically, when she GIVES UP, she gets an INVERSE case — now, suddenly, it's impossible to find shrimps ANYWHERE...

Looney Tunes: Sylvester the Cat goes through this while trying to give up eating Tweety in a few shorts.
It's most memorably used in "Birds Anonymous". After Sylvester gets back from the titular meeting, the first thing he sees is a cooking show talking about how to prepare a turkey. He then hears songs from a radio that relate to birds. After struggling to sleep, he finally loses it and attempts to eat Tweety once more before breaking down in tears.
"The Last Hungry Cat" has Sylvester go through similar situations like in the cartoon above, although it mostly revolves around him thinking that he ate Tweety while being tormented by an off-screen narrator. One of the things that he goes through is when he reads a book about a family of birds.
In another cartoon, after various failed attempts to catch Tweety, Sylvester decides to swear off birds. Right after that happens, a flock of birds perches themselves on Sylvester's shoulders.

Classic Disney Shorts: There are two examples that both involve Goofy.
In "No Smoking," Goofy tries to give up smoking but sees tobacco products everywhere, and people tempt him and offer him cigarettes until he actually wants one.
In "Tomorrow we Diet", a rather plump Goofy decides to go on a diet. Naturally, he starts to go through a neon hell of restaurant signs (and even freaks out while sitting in a chair with a fruit pattern on the upholstery seeing several more food-related objects around the room).

House of Mouse: The short "Donald's Dinner Date" has Daisy getting fed up with Donald's anger issues, and betting that he couldn't go through their date without flying into a rage. Goofy ends up being their waiter. You can see where this is going... but it's a subversion. Daisy's the one who gets mad. Donald remains perfectly fine during the date. That is, until he gets the bill.

Harry Potter: In Hermione's Embarrassing Surprise, Madam Pomfrey tells Hermione that her headache and stomachache are probably signs of her first ovulation. Hermione is embarrassed by this and tries to get her mind off it, but then McGonagall yells at Neville for not including "periods" (full stops) on his work. Then, later, an ingredient in a potion recipe is "Hippogriff's menstrual blood" and she misreads "hippogriff" for her own name.

In Reaper, Alan Townsend escapes from his deal with the devil by winning a poker game. The condition of his release is that he is forbidden to sin again or he goes directly back to Hell. The problem with this is that he's a gambling addict and gambling is a sin. He eventually ends up back in Hell when the devil arranges for his plane to be grounded in Las Vegas.

In the We Bare Bears episode "Bear Cleanse", the bears go on a diet when they have to give up "human food" and stick to their natural diets. Grizzly is initially gung-ho, but quickly tires of eating nothing but fish and berries, and tries to take his mind off things by watching viral videos. Sure enough, the first thing he sees is pop-up ads for food. Then he hallucinates that the food is talking to him.

Scrubs: Happens to J.D. after a break-up — he even points it out himself as he sits in a bar where a girl first offers to buy him a drink and then strikes a rather flexible pose to further entice him. To no avail though.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends:
In "Land of the Flea", Eduardo has a family of imaginary fleas living in his fur, and he's trying not to scratch. But everywhere he looks, there are people using scratch-and-sniff cards, monkeys scratching themselves in an inappropriate manner, etc.
In "Crime After Crime", Mr. Herriman's carrot addiction leads to him punishing every friend in the house except Bloo so no one will suspect it, and when he ends up getting arrested for stealing diamonds (as he had earlier reported a theft of 100 carrots to the police, which they had mistaken for karats), he decides to quit carrots cold turkey. When Wilt gets himself arrested for standing on a rug (as Herriman had earlier punished Clumsy and Sam Burger for doing the same), he is put in the same cell as Herriman. The two are then served supper, and Herriman finds out from Wilt that they're having carrots for supper.

Animaniacs: In the episode that's the Trope Namer for Potty Emergency, Wakko Warner has to pee and when none of the shops offer him a bathroom, he decides not to think about it. As soon as he starts his attempts not to think about it, however, he enters a park, upon which he sees several sprinklers, a man watering the grass, a lemonade stand and a kid with a drinking fountain.

Supernatural: Sam becomes addicted to drinking demon blood and tries to give it up. Well, they hunt demons and have a magical knife to kill them with. This happens about every other fight. In several episodes, demons know that their blood tempts him, and are all but forcing themselves down his throat.

Detective Bayliss also tries to quit, and they eventually have to work together because their respective partners (Felton and Pembleton) refuse to quit.

Married... with Children: In the episode "A Little off the Top", Al was accidentally circumcised and had to abstain from sex for a full month. For most of their marriage, Al had very little interest in sex with his wife. But now that it was forbidden, she suddenly became some sort of irresistible sex goddess whose every casual action seemed to turn him on.

In Metalocalypse, this is the reason Leonard Rockstein/Dr. Rockso couldn't stay clean from cocaine. He technically manages to stay clean for about half a year before finding confiscated cocaine behind the stage of a drug-free concert. He eventually gives in once the security guarding the drugs disappear to handle the concert which had gone haywire. Also note that this happened after a whole episode dedicated to his struggle to get clean early on in the same season. This was done mostly because Dr. Rockso happened to be the show's resident Ensemble Dark Horse, and part of his charm was his insufferable cocaine addiction.

In the Torchwood episode "Day One", an alien who feeds off orgasmic energy has taken over the body of a young woman. The girl knows that if she doesn't feed the alien, it will kill her, but if she gives in she'll kill anyone she has sex with. As she walks down the street all she can see are suggestive advertisements and people making out.

In "The Fat and the Furriest", Homer develops a phobia of bears after footage of him running from a bear is put on the news. First, he freaks out when he sees Maggie's teddy bear. Then he accidentally knocks down Maggie's bookshelf, seeing such books as The Bear Went Over the Mountain, The Berenstain Bears, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. When he runs into the kitchen, he knocks some grocery bags off the table, which have such items as Super Sugar Crisp cereal, Gummi Bears, Teddy Grahams, Snuggle fabric softener, and a bear-shaped bottle of honey.

Galaxy Angel has an episode where Mint is told that if she continues her obsession with wearing mascot-type animal costumes, she'll die. This diagnosis conveniently coincides with the Angel Brigade's trip to a planet that is celebrating "wear an animal costume day". While on the planet, she is the millionth customer of a local supermarket and is awarded several animal costumes. Then she attends an award ceremony where the mayor of the town awards her another one. Then she throws the animal costume people are trying to make her wear into a lake, and gets offered silver and gold animal costumes by the water spirit in the lake.

Donald Duck:
In one comic, Daisy bets Donald that he couldn't go a day without eating anything. Cue a guy handing him a fresh hot dog (he can't take it with him on the bus), Grandma Duck nominating him as a judge in the local bake-off, and a college roommate dragging him into a restaurant as a celebration of their reunion and ordering everything on the menu. In the end, Donald is undone when Daisy catches him eating a chocolate bar, but he cheats by re-adjusting his wristwatch to trick her into thinking that it's already past midnight. The next week, they go on a date at a luxurious mountain hotel known for its all-you-can-eat buffet, but Donald gets into an accident which injures his mouth, rendering him incapable of eating anything besides soup.
Donald's not in it, but a later story had Daisy writing in her diary about being determined to stick to her diet, naturally everything she then sees or hears (or smells) is solely about delicious food. In desperation, she finally locks herself in her room to avoid temptation... then gives up and bites a chunk out of her notebook in frustration.

Used in Fallout 4 as one of the many social experiments conducted by Vault-Tec. Vault 95 was populated by drug addicts on a five-year-long rehabilitation program. After this, a massive stash of every kind of drug was revealed to the population. The Vault broke out into utter insanity as the addicts promptly either grabbed part of the stash and ran off to fatally overdose somewhere, started fighting with the other addicts, or resisting the overwhelming temptation to go and hide as long as they could until despair and loneliness finally drove them out of their minds. Everyone died.

Basically the entire plot of Dragons Rioting, as protagonist Rintaro has a medical condition which means he can die if he gets sexually aroused. Naturally, he ends up attending a school with a vastly majority-female student body, most of whom are a Ms. Fanservice of one type or another. A decade of intensive martial arts training and meditation to focus his mind on whenever he's presented with something sexy is the only thing keeping him alive.

This being The Silver Age of Comic Books, Superman has of course gotten himself into a situation where he needs Lois to discover his ID.note A rival newspaperman had begun to suspect Clark Kent was Superman, so Superman set up a second civilian ID as a novelty salesman and needed Lois' "discovery" to confirm it. Superman deliberately drops hint after hint about his secret ID, only for Lois to force herself to destroy each one.

When he is made by Dora to promise not to swipe anything while she and Boots help him get his lost possessions back for a sleepover at his grandmother's house, his instincts inevitably kick in when he sees Dora's friends missing possessions of their own. Fortunately, Dora and Boots are able to remind him of his promise each time, prompting him to instead return the missing possessions to Dora's friends.

Arthur:
In one episode, the young aardvark decides he doesn't wish to take any more piano lessons. Naturally, the TV that day features nothing but programs about playing the piano.
In another episode, Jenna watches some television in an attempt to not wet the bed during a sleepover. Not the best idea, as the only things she sees are along the lines of a Scotsman patching a wee leak in his bagpipes and a Sesame Street ersatz doing a segment on the letter P.
A third instance has Francine trying to make it through her first fast on Yom Kippur. When she gets hungry, she turns to TV to get her mind off it, only for all the shows on to be about food. Dissatisfied, she turns to reading, only for all the books she picks out to have titles relating to food.
In "Nerves of Steal", Buster steals a toy from the toy store and tries to take his mind off it. First, the shadow of a fence makes his sweater appear stripy like a prison uniform, then he overhears people talking about "stealing" bases in a baseball game.
In "Show Off", Pal is trying to stay fit so he can enter a dog show. But he spills his bag of dog food, DW offers him bacon, and Buster shows up at the door with roast beef.

The Nanny:
One episode sees Big Eater Sylvia go on a diet. As she sits in the kitchen with Fran, Val, and Yetta, the other women start gushing about the various sweets they're eating, like "double-chocolate brownies with cheesecake centers" and cannoli. Poor Sylvia does manage to hold out and even offers to put away a cake that none of the others are eating... only to fake-close the fridge door and rush upstairs with the dessert.
In "Shopaholic", Fran discovers that her ex-fiancee Danny is getting married before her, and goes on an uncontrollable buying spree to deal with her feelings. After realizing she has a problem and going to "Shoppers' Anonymous," Maxwell tells everyone that they must avoid anything that might remind her of purchases and sales. Niles then enters with his dinner, and Max promptly tells him it's too much—"take half off." Later, just when it seems things will be OK, Val shows up to host a Tupperware party at the mansion.
Niles, as a master Troll, once invoked this when C.C. tried to quit smoking. He bakes her a cake, ostensibly to congratulate her, but C.C. tells him that she's trying to be careful about overeating, as gaining weight happens frequently when people give up cigarettes. Niles (who is clearly aware of this) promptly produces even more sweets, like fresh eclairs and ice cream, just to get on her nerves.

He soon encounters an ad for a drink that's actually called "New Leaf" and is unable to resist.

Three's Company: Janet talks Chrissy and Jack into a bet that Chrissy could go longer without food than Jack could go without girls. What Jack didn't know (because he wouldn't let Janet tell him) was that one of his (many) old flames had just arrived in town, who Janet and Chrissy happily invite over to meet Jack. Chrissy doesn't have it any easier with her own fast — Jack keeps bringing home delicious food to tempt her and Janet keeps using food-related metaphors in their conversations.

Phineas and Ferb: Usually used for Candace, who can't bring herself to hold her busting obsession.
In "Hip Hip Parade", Candace is forced to solemnly promise to Linda to not once think about the boys on their girls' day out, otherwise she will suffer the "Pharaoh's curse". Candace tries as hard as she could to restrain herself when she sees the boys in the Tri-State Area Unification Day parade, but it soon gets the better of her and is forced to bring her mom to see it. When the parade disappeared as usual, a guy in a Pharaoh costume appears and says "Curse you".
She does it again in "Robot Rodeo" as she pretends to be more adultlike so Stacy's mom can let her go to a Tiny Cowboy concert with her, but by the time Linda suspects this is just a trick to get her mind off the boys, Candace begins squirming until she finally loses it.

Our Miss Brooks: In "Connie Tries To Forget Mr. Boynton", when Connie tries to forget Mr. Boynton, every stranger she meets looks and sounds like Mr. Boynton. The "Misters Boynton" Miss Brooks meet include — but aren't limited to — the American Ambassador to India, an elderly postman, a matron, a fourteen-year-old boy, and a newborn baby. Fortunately, it's All Just a Dream.

Drake & Josh: Drake bets that he can go a set amount of time without any junk food, and Josh bets the same, but with video games. Megan throws together a contract. Later, Drake gets a bad skin condition caused by a lack of junk food. Josh is also tempted when his grandmother sends him a brand new "game sphere". Later, Megan decides to screw them both over by tricking each brother to tempt the other. Josh covers the boy's bedroom with candy and Drake starts playing the game sphere with a fancy wireless controller; in the end, both brothers succumb but are unable to tell who did so first. This winds up being a Gambit Roulette when Megan reveals that the contract didn't say that the person who caved in first would lose, but simply that whoever caved would lose.

Garfield and Friends:
In "Video Victim", Jon bets Garfield that if he can go twenty-four hours without watching TV, Jon will stop using the vacuum cleaner. Jon reads entries from the TV Guide to try to tempt Garfield into turning on the TV, and during the night, Garfield is tempted by the TV itself. Later, Jon suffers the same thing from the vacuum cleaner.
In "Five Minute Warning", Jon bets Garfield that he can't go without eating for five minutes. Garfield being Garfield, he's wondering if the five minutes is up within seconds. He leaves the house, but everywhere he goes, he's offered food: a pair of picnickers who brought too much food; the Buddy Bears, who give him "a light snack" as a token of friendship, which he nearly does eat; even restaurant owners, who normally fear his approach lest they be eaten out of business. In the end, he is almost mistaken for having eaten, and indeed, very nearly bites down on a banana when the time runs out. Garfield himself comments that the free food offers never happen outside of the five minutes.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has a "wanting something you know you can't have" example. Charlie Bucket loves chocolate more than anything, but his family is so poor that he only gets one chocolate bar a year, on his birthday. This makes it painful for him to constantly walk by shop windows full of chocolate bars, and see other kids enjoying chocolate bars... and worst of all, to live near the world's largest chocolate factory.

In the M*A*S*H episode "No Laughing Matter", Hawkeye makes a bet with B.J. that he can go a full day without joking about anything. Naturally, the episode has him being presented with an unusually large number of openings for wisecracks, all of which he lets loose on the PA system at 12:01 AM the next day.
Another episode had Hawkeye give up drinking for a week once he realized he was dangerously close to alcoholism. After the final day, he goes to the Officer's Club with the others for a drink after a particularly rough OR session, but then puts the drink down and says "I'll come back when I want it, not when I need it."

Lost: Charlie throws the last of his heroin stash into a fire in early season 1. Being stranded on an island might seem an excellent opportunity to kick the habit. Then in the season finale, he comes across a crashed plane... full of heroin. Despite the obvious temptation Charlie never relapses, and eventually tosses the stash into the ocean, but Claire still pushes him away for a while after she learns he was keeping drugs near her baby.
Hurley loses the perfect opportunity to get rid of some of that pork on the island when he runs into the Dharma junk food stash in the hatch. And then later more food literally drops from the sky.

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo: In one episode, Freddy accepts a bet from the other characters that he can't go one whole case without accusing Red Herring (that's the character's actual name) of anything (it was a long standing Running Gag that Freddy always accuses Red Herring of being the Villain of the Week, even in episodes that he isn't even in). So the person who gives them the next case is Red Herring's aunt, and the characters constantly meet with Red Herring. And it turns out Red Herring really did commit the crime that time, albeit for a good cause. Freddy does not take it well when he's unmasked.

The Loud House:
In "Undie Pressure", the Loud siblings are on a bet which means that Lori isn't allowed to talk to her boyfriend Bobby, Leni isn't allowed to use the word 'like', Luna isn't allowed to talk in a British accent, Luan isn't allowed to tell jokes, Lynn isn't allowed to turn things into sports, Lincoln isn't allowed to read comics in his underwear, Lucy isn't allowed to scare people, Lana isn't allowed to play in the mud, Lola isn't allowed to look at her reflection, Lisa isn't allowed to study, and Lily isn't allowed to cry. They all experience this trope in some way except for Leni, Lucy, and Lily: Bobby comes over, there is a British accent competition, people set up jokes, there are opportunities to turn the laundry into a sport, Lola turns the thermostat up making Lincoln want to strip, it's raining and the pets are playing in the mud, Lincoln polishes the surfaces so Lola will be tempted to look at herself, and Lori goes to poop (and Lisa was studying poop).
In "Deal Me Out", Lincoln and Clyde try to give up things relating to their favorite superhero Ace Savvy, yet they find comics and action figures of him everywhere.
In "No Laughing Matter", Luan retires from comedy after overhearing her siblings criticizing her constant jokes and pranks. Her siblings invoke this trope by trying to set up jokes to get her back in the comedy game, but she isn't tempted.
In "Candy Crushed", Lola goes on a bet to never eat sweets for a week. However, candy is everywhere Lola goes, such as on commercials, the mall, even a candy store.

A Song of Ice and Fire features the "relationship" between the Iron Isles, the Reach, the Riverlands, and the North. Before House Hoare took it upon themselves to try their hand at colonial expansion, conquering and ruling other lands was anathema to the Ironborn ethos (it technically still is). And, doing so wasn't at all popular at the time they ruled the Ironborn and their colonies, for all it has definitely gained the rosy glow of nostalgia by the start of the series. The Ironborn just can't get over their lost holdings and have constantly tried to relive those Glory Days through repeated raids, rebellions and invasion attempts against the Seven Kingdoms since then. They usually don't work at all well (the reprisals often take decades to recover from), but they still keep trying every time they think they spot even a half-chance.

Father Ted had a whole episode dedicated to this, called ''Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading'', in which the cast must give up the titular vices for Lent. In one hallucination the smoke from a guest resolves itself into the words 'lovely fags' to Ted's nicotine-starved eyes.
There is honestly nothing funnier than a giant anthropomorphic pint of Guinness going 'Blah blah blah blah blah'...
Except for maybe a giant rollerblade going "Blah blah blah blah blah..."

Later, Junior offers Cody a piece of his Kit Kat bar, only for it to get broken in half. Chef Pee Pee then serves Cody a sandwich that he cut in half. After lunch, Junior takes Cody to his playroom and has him spell something on the board, only to find the letter magnets are arranged to say "IN HALF". After that, Junior lets Cody play with his Etch-a-Sketch, only to find it has "IN HALF" written on it.

Basically the whole point of 40 Days and 40 Nights Matt Sullivan gives up sex for Lent in an effort to move past a pattern of self-destructive relationships. Of course, every person with two X chromosomes sees this as incredibly sexy, others feel it may hamper the power of their favorite man-control means, and others just want him to lose. This leads to girls flooding him with offers he can barely refuse, until one of the girls out-and-out forces herself on him. See Double Standard Rape: Female on Male. Expect this result only if you are Josh Hartnett.
Not to mention the sequence where he tries to go about his day as usual, only to see every woman he encounters as topless.

Winnie the Pooh (2011): Pooh runs out of honey and every attempt to get more gets pulled away from him in coincidentally different ways all through the day. In the middle of the film, he gets so hungry that his friends (and the Narrator) start substituting every word with "honey", and he starts seeing things around him transformed into honey pots until it climaxes into a Disney Acid Sequence musical number.

Sitting Ducks takes place in a universe where ducks and alligators live in segregated districts, where there's constant tension between the hungry alligators of Swampwood and duck denizens of Ducktown. The show focuses on a duck named Bill and his relationship with Aldo, an alligator who swears off eating ducks. This often proves hard to resist for poor Aldo, who constantly must fight ostracization from his species and his own predatory instincts, especially in the episode where he hallucinates Bill and his friends as skinned floating ducks.

SpongeBob SquarePants used this trope on more than one occasion.
"Idiot Box" and "The Paper" both have Squidward cave in to desiring something he saw as childish after observing SpongeBob having fun with it, playing pretend inside a cardboard box for the former and using a gum wrapper to do all sorts of improbable things in the latter.
"Karate Choppers" has SpongeBob and Sandy try to give up their obsession with karate by going for a picnic in the park. However, they can't stop thinking about karate, first when they mishear a man casting a fishing rod as a karate chop, then when SpongeBob starts slicing meat for their sandwiches... using a karate chop. Eventually, they start karate-chopping up as much as they can for the sandwiches, and eventually chop up most of the park as well.
In "Snooze You Lose", an insomniac Squidward goes for a walk and sees a billboard advertising beds, a homeless man sleeping on a bench, worm puppies sleeping in the window display of a pet shop, and a television showing sheep jumping over a fence.
In "A Day Without Tears", SpongeBob is trying to, well, go a day without tears, due to a bet he made with Squidward. Because SpongeBob's end of the bet is Squidward has to come to a house for a sleepover if he makes it to midnight without crying, Squidward decides to cheat and tempt the sponge into crying in the following, though he miraculously manages to hold in his tears all the way: Seeing a beautiful sunset (he snaps out once it's over), Gary sleeping in a cute way (he immediately controls himself), getting a note from his parents saying they miss him (which is stopped by getting a card saying his subscription was ending), the news showing a snail nearly not getting down from a tree, a manatee having a bad birthday, and a TV show not showing as often (he snaps out after hearing the good outcomes and quickly changing the channels), seeing an emotional bonding scene on TV (which is enough for him to angrily throw his TV out the window for Patrick to take), Squidward playing a sad song (he manages to control himself as before), and finally a story about a sad angler, which makes him struggle to hold in so many tears until he finally cries, but by then it's midnight, meaning SpongeBob won.

El Goonish Shive: Tedd has been obsessing over finding the scientific basis of magic so much that he spends all day talking Technobabble and ignoring Grace's advances. So she forces him on a double date. Too bad they're playing the soundtrack to Portal 2 in the car.

Body Bags: When Richard is obsessing over his hair loss in "Hair", he leaves the hairdresser and is immediately confronted by women with long beautiful hair, and then men with long beautiful; one of whom is walking an Afghan hound with long beautiful hair. When he gets home, his television is showing ads for shampoo, and one for fertilizer showing rapidly sprouting grass.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the episode "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows", Pinkie Pie is told that Shining Armour and Princess Cadence are expecting a baby, but not to tell anyone since they want it to be a surprise. First, Twilight decorates a bedroom with things from Shining Armour's childhood and she and others inadvertently make Pinkie Pie want to tell the secret by mentioning surprises and saying that Shining Armour used to carry a toy around "like his baby". Then, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo ask Pinkie if she's heard any gossip recently, and immediately after that Fluttershy mentions baby carrots. Later, Pinkie Pie is asked to make balloon animals and Featherweight asks for a baby pony but hopes it's not a "royal pain", Mayor Mare says that Pinkie Pie is good at keeping secrets, and finally a pony comes up selling cribs with the slogan "treat your foal like royalty".

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack has one episode where K'nuckles eats too much candy and suffers from "Candy Rot" where he chows down on any candy he can find. It gets so bad, that the Doctor Barber recommends a rather painful surgery to cure him but agrees to let Flapjack try to help the captain quit cold turkey as an alternative. Also, when K'nuckles wanted to stop hearing stories with happy endings, everybody was telling stories with various different kinds of happy endings.

It's most memorably used in "Birds Anonymous". After Sylvester gets back from the titular meeting, the first thing he sees is a cooking show talking about how to prepare a turkey. He then hears songs from a radio that relate to birds. After struggling to sleep, he finally loses it and attempts to eat Tweety once more before breaking down in tears.

Ed, Edd n Eddy: One episode has the Ed's, Kevin, Rolf, and Johnny make a cold turkey bet, each ponying up 25 cents as the bet. Ed can't have gravy, Double D can't use any big words, Eddy can't be loud, Rolf must give up meat, Johnny can't talk to Plank, and Kevin (the first to lose) can't call the Eds dorks. After Eddy spends most of the episode Invoking the trope towards everyone else, the eventual winner is Ed. After falling into a barrel of gravy, Eddy LOUDLY declares his victory... until he finds out Ed fell into a barrel of butterscotch pudding, which he's allergic to. Ed gets the money and spends it on gravy.

Heaven's Lost Property: Played for Laughs where Sakurai Tomoki is a major pervert, with exceptional love for panties, and he gets a hold of a HUGE amount of panties after a certain event. It makes his Childhood Friend mad, and... It doesn't end pretty. It appears she turned the panties to BOMBS that explode each time he looks at them. He has to try and resist looking at his adored panties until he's out of his home... They are quite literally everywhere. In the end, he gives up and embraces EVERYTHING. He loses his house as a result. Seriously, the sheer hilarity of that cannot be described.

Hey Arnold!:
In episode 3, Arnold is depressed that he lost his hat. To take his mind off it, he turns on the TV and sees that it's Hat Day at the local ballpark and everyone in the stadium is wearing one. It doesn't help.
Helga tries to get over her obsession of Arnold that she tries not thinking about him, naturally she sees images of him everywhere across town. She was able to remedy this when she buys an out-of-love potion, and she stops seeing images of him, but it left her bored and empty.

Family Guy: Quagmire is forced to keep his perversion under control. After his friends take him to the mall to see how well he can contain himself in public, he sees a handful of attractive teenagers, turns away to see a woman breastfeeding, turns away from that to see a trio of cheerleaders who walk past a fountain, accidentally drop a pom-pom inside, decide to retrieve it, together, while shirtless, engage in a splash fight and start making out with each other. When he attempts to escape, he accidentally crashes into a pile of naked mannequins, then ducks into a surveillance room with full view of the women's dressing rooms. Fortunately, he ends up seeing that one of the women inside is having a heart attack, and rushes over to save her by performing what everyone thought was CPR ("What the hell's CPR?").

The Wander over Yonder episode "The Fugitives" has Wander and Sylvia trying to escape a planet ruled by Lord Hater, but Wander keeps blowing her plans by helping people. Finally, she gets fed up and she tells him "no helping". Hater's Watchdogs use this to their advantage and cause various accidents that Wander is desperate to solve, but he's also desperate to hold his word to Sylvia. The scene gets more intense and the lighting gets more dramatic as Wander begins going practically insane with resistance... until he finally caves in. Luckily, all the people he's been helping up to this point come help them escape.

Frasier has one episode in which Frasier and his boss, Kate, have resolved they can't have a relationship and declared that they are two adults who can resist their mutual attraction. At the same time, a romance author who lives in Frasier's building is moving out. When Frasier and Kate get in the service elevator, to avoid the press outside the main door, it stalls and the lights go out. Frasier lights some candles then knocks a double mattress propped against a wall, dropping it on the center of the floor. The heat forces them to take off their jackets. Then Frasier accidentally sets off a music box that plays romantic music, knocks over a bottle of musk oil trying to turn it off, and when Kate grabs a sheet to soak up the oil, it turns out to be covering a huge blow-up of a bodice-ripper cover. They resist, but only just.
Deliberately invoked by Daphne in "Hungry Heart". Jane Leeves, who played Daphne, became pregnant during the run, and the producers' attempts to conceal her baby bump failed when the naturally-svelte Leeves gained a good deal of weight. To compensate, the writers added a subplot involving Daphne stress-eating to deal with the frustrations in her life. When she vows to give up the junk food and lose weight, she sets this trope on herself by secretly hiding various sweets and desserts all around Frasier's apartment, allowing her to sneak snacks whenever she likes. Given that the main characters were psychiatrists, though, the show took the trope more seriously than others, noticing that Daphne's inability to stop was serious and prompting a trip to a spa to help her deal with the root of her problem (which in turn allowed Leeves time off to have her baby).

Friends:
One episode dealt with Phoebe craving meat during her pregnancy, despite being a firmly convicted vegetarian. Joey helped her deal with it by offering to go vegetarian himself so that she would be free to eat meat without upsetting the balance of carnivores vs. vegetarians. Naturally, he then has to battle with his own meat cravings.
In another episode, Joey (again) is having to abstain from sex for a period of time for a well-paid scientific study, but then has a date with a gorgeous girl and ends up in bed. He manages to subvert the problem by following Monica's advice to "be there for her" without giving in himself.
In yet another episode, Joey and Ross bet Chandler 50 bucks he can't keep his New Year's Resolution to not make fun of his friends. Shortly afterward, Ross starts wearing leather pants and dating a girl named Elizabeth Hornswoggle. At the end of the episode he gives them the 50 bucks and lets it all out.
From the same episode with the pants and Miss Hornswoggle, Rachel vows to give up gossip. She immediately finds out that Chandler and Monica are having sex.

In the end, his addiction alternately saves him and very nearly keeps him from rescuing fellow Ranger Gadget from a Death Trap.

In the Full Metal Panic! Overload manga, Sousuke is prohibited by Kaname to bring guns to school for one day. He actually starts getting withdrawal symptoms from not firing a gun. Everything starts looking like moving targets, he hears gunfire, and everyone starts looking like thug-ish terrorists. He eventually breaks and starts attacking Kaname's classmates, thinking they're trying to kill her. In the end, Kaname takes him outside and lets him have target practice with an empty can. It ends with her seeing the importance of allowing him to shoot guns (lest he start going crazy).
