Transformers RID, Spongebob,MLP FIMand Phineas and Ferb all have done this in some way shape and form.

Ponyfag detected. I know precisely the episode you're thinking of and I've only ever see it happen there.
Or Hey Arnold once.

It would be interesting if a show was doing this trope and everything went horribly wrong. The character that was supposed to gets saved becomes a cripple or something and everyone hates the character who was going to "save" him.
