Having fleas is no fun, especially if you're a furry animal. Fleas suck up your blood for nutrition, and make you itch like crazy. Essentially, a Flea Episode is centered on a character, usually a Funny Animal, having fleas, and doing anything he can to get rid of them and/or relieve himself of his itch, which includes powders, collars, and baths. In a few instances, the character will actually befriend their fleas, and try to protect them from other characters who want to get rid of them, regardless of how itchy they make them. Expect these kind of episodes to have flea pun-based titles. This trope has nothing to do with the bassist from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. | |

The Good Life episode "Whose Fleas Are These?" involved an outbreak at the Goods' house that gives Barbara a full fit of the heebie-jeebies and brings down Jerry and Margo's anger when the fleas spread to their home. Everyone assumes that they came from the goat or one of the other animals... until Margo arrives home after extermination complaining about the overly-friendly dog of another Music Society member. | |

This is a mechanic in Tokyo Jungle. The player passes a portion of their gained stats down to their species by choosing a mate, and the low-quality Desperate females/males will always accept the player, but on the way to the nest to mate, will give them fleas. This causes the player to automatically stop and scratch, even in the middle of a battle or when trying to escape a predator. You can still get fleas even while playing as a crocodile or a dinosaur despite the fact that fleas don't infect reptiles. | |

In the Taz-Mania episode, "A Flea For Me", when Taz eats out of the garbage can, he picks up a flea, which makes him itch. Taz tries to keep Jean from finding out, as she would give him a bath if she knew, and since Taz hates water, he Hates Baths. At the end of the episode, the Flea now makes Jean itch. | |

Everyone else in the house tries various means of tricking him into get treatment for the fleas but none of them work, except for Bloo who thinks that the fleas are cool, so he steals all of Eduardo's fur and wears it as a cape, but then the fleas attack him for the damage he caused to their homes, which reveals to everyone that the Fleas are actually imaginary friends. They decide to have all the furry imaginary friends shave their fur and put it all into one room for the fleas to live in, which no one can ever go into again. | |

Garfield has had numerous strips involving problems with flea infestations. One of them showed that he had an entire flea circus on him, noting that the itching and biting wasn't bad, but the lights on the midway were keeping him awake. And then there was an earlier Sunday strip that had him pour rubbing alcohol onto his fur to get rid of some fleas he contracted from Odie, only for Jon to unwittingly toss the matchstick he used to light his pipe onto him, leaving the poor cat totally charred. | |

Arthur: In "Flea to Be You and Me", Pal picks up Pepe, an Italian flea who tells him the story of how he ended up on his fur. After hearing his story, Pal helps reunite him with his brother and circus partner, Sale. Pepe shows up in Pal's fur again in "Mei Lin Takes a Stand", this time along with Sale, and the flea brothers tell him, Kate, and Mei Lin the story of an ancient kingdom where everyone crawled instead of walking on two legs to stop the latter from calling her big brother Binky to squish them like the bugs they are. |

Downplayed in the The Loud House episode Rita Her Rights for a variety of reasons, but still prevalent. In the episode, a Running Gag throughout the background is the fact that Lana has gotten fleas. However, she has no interest in getting rid of them, especially not with a bath, even calling the fleas her friends and seemingly adopts them by the end of the episode naming one of them Brad because he lives in her pit. | |

The Tom and Jerry Show (2014): In "Flea Bitten", Butch accidentally unleashes a swarm of fleas in the house where the titular duo live when he breaks in to take a bath. The fleas promptly go after Tom, and from there they spread to Jerry and Spike, disrupting their usual conflict. After trying in vain to get rid of the fleas, the three of them finally resort to shaving off all their fur, making it into a coat, and leaving it out for Butch to collect, which gets him infested with the fleas once again. | |

At first Ruff thinks it's because of his sensitive hearing, but when he still hears the voice after using the Fetch 3000's countertop in a manner similar to a Soundproof Box, he fears he's losing his mind So he sends Issac and Liza to meet an audiologist while Sterling and Brian visited a cookie company (because Fleape told Ruff to bake 'Brussels Sprouts' Cookies to impress Charlene for her birthday) | |

This is how the player character catches fleas in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. One of the villagers will start saying they’re itchy and that’s the cue to try and catch the flea off them with your net. It can be slightly tricky to initiate the catch and not whack them instead, but they’ll appreciate it and it’s the only way to get a flea for the museum. | |

Lomax, the Hound of Music: In the first episode "Flea Bath", Lomax starts scratching due to the fact that he has fleas who go by the names, Louise and Clark, who also like music. Both he and Delta worry that they're going to get a flea bath if Amy sees them scratching. After the song, "Aloha Oe", when Lomax scratches again after Louise trips, Amy finds out her dog actually does have fleas and decides to give him and Delta a flea bath. Luckily, Louise and Clark manage to avoid getting wet by wearing hazmat suits (since they appeared in the rest of the series). | |

House of Anubis: Joy, Willow and Mara end up with fleas after taking care of two wild hedgehogs. Them having to deal with the itching brought a bit of levity to the show, as this was happening just before the climax when things were becoming darker and more serious. Notably, Patricia points out to Fabian that they can't get fleas while they're The Soulless (which they both were at the time), because the fleas sensed their evil, thus subverting the expectation that it would spread to the rest of Anubis House. | |
