** Stan Marsh: On a {{color|teal}} version of the lines background, Stan Marsh is to the right, at the Bus Stop. He then hears Wendy Testaburger greet him, which makes him vomit {{color|lightgreen|green}} barf in front of him and to both his sides in bursts. He then continues vomiting in bursts, which eventually fills his area with vomit nearly to the top of the screen, and the Channel 4 logo wipes in as he does so.

** Chef: On a {{color|blue}} version of the lines background, Chef is to the right, in a {{color|grey}} room in front of a door that has a {{color|gold|yellow}} "IN" sign above it. A {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} line races towards Chef, exciting him, and when it reaches him, he hugs it and rubs his hands up and down it before tilting it to the left and smiling. He then tilts it to the right and begins kissing it before straightening it and rubbing his hands on and kissing it again before the {{color|blue}} background gradually wipes away the scene and the Channel 4 logo wipes in.

* A ''Simpsons'' variant is aired before episodes of ''The Simpsons'', although not all the time. In this one, the blocks, which are all in a {{color|gold|yellow}} color, keep moving toward different parts of the {{color|blue}} background, along with a pair of circular shapes resembling eyes with small black pupils. Although new bumpers were introduced on June 19, 2017, this one is still used in one way or another, either still being used before an episode, or as a bumper between episodes.
