History BeyondTheImpossible / WesternAnimation

** There are techniques called the "Six Impossible Moves" which would be better named "six moves that are impossible for anyone lacking TheGift". Po and Fenghuang can do them because they have it and this is presumably what fuels the latter's [[TheSocialDarwinist "strong rule the weak"]] beliefs.

** In the episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E12TopDuck Top Duck]]", the story opens with Launchpad attempting a stunt that Huey claims no pilot has ever survived. Not only does Launchpad survive the botched attempt, but also he goes on to perform the stunt to save Scrooge from falling out of the sky during an aerial battle with the Beagle Boys (and he doesn't crash either!).

* In ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' is stated and shown that Bloom's power, the Dragon's Flame, cannot be taken by force, only willingly given or inherited (all bearers have been related, with Bloom receiving it after her older sister's death and said sister inheriting it from their mother). Many have tried, including the [[GreaterScopeVillain Three Ancestral Witches]], and all of them have failed. All of them except the Trix, who did just that in ''season 1'', much to the denial of other and more experienced characters (including one who had actually worked for the Ancestral Witches before having a HeelFaceTurn). They weren't completely successful at it, as Bloom still maintained enough she could eventually manifest and take back all that was taken from her, but it was still far beyond anyone had ever achieved, or even thought possible.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', Nox, the main villain of the first season, is a powerful Time Mage who has been alive for over 200 years, collecting life energy and feeding it to a powerful magical artifact called the Eliacube, trying to accumulate enough energy to turn back time in order to undo a mistake which caused the death of his family. He has slaughtered countless people and entire civilizations for this purpose alone, despite being warned that doing so is impossible, even for a Time Mage, and could instead result in reality being destroyed. In the end, he manages to achieve his energy goal and actually succeeds in turning back time [[spoiler: by 20 minutes.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "The Same Game", when Timmy gets fed up with [[DepravedDentist Dr. Bender]] gloating about his own perfect teeth (actually dentures) while making fun of the former's, he wishes for a world where every human is a nondescript blob and everything is in shades of gray. His mother, a LethalChef who previously made a pink casserole that immediately went bad and turned gray, makes a gray casserole in this new reality that goes bad and turns pink. Her cooking managed to be so bad, it somehow defied the effects of two {{Reality Warper}}s changing the entire planet, turning into a different color in a world where the concept of color no longer existed.

** [[TheLostWoods The Everfree Forest]] is considered an EldritchLocation because [[PaintingTheFrostOnWindows everywhere else in Equestria requires ponies to manage its natural processes]], whereas the Everfree Forest takes care of itself.

* ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'': MurphysLaw allows Milo to do some pretty insane things. These include ''causing'' a fire with water and setting vinegar and baking soda on fire despite the mixture being endothermic.

** Earth Benders repeatedly demonstrate that they cannot bend metal. MagicAIsMagicA is so strong with this one that an entire episode was based on earth benders as [=POWs=] in a ''metal'' prison. This trope comes into play near the season 2 climax [[spoiler:when Toph invents metalbending. Not only did this come in handy during the rest of her adventures, but it also made her LegendaryInTheSequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. She also passed the art onto her two daughters, Lin and Suyin.]]

His mother, a LethalChef who previously made a pink casserole that immediately went bad and turned gray, makes a gray casserole in this new reality that goes bad and turns pink. Her cooking managed to be so bad, ''it violated the effects of two {{Reality Warper}}s changing the entire planet''.

-->'''TV Commerical''': [[GilliganCut Have you ever wanted to dehydrate something? Now you can!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'': Jude can get a tan from the mall's ''florescent'' lights. His explaination: "The key to a good va-cay is all in the ''mind'' ." Nikki shouted how impossible this was, but the tan was there, so there wasn't much she could do about it.

-->'''Robin''': So it's impossible? Good, if memory serves [[ScrewDestiny we've done the impossible before]].

* WesternAnimation/MightyMouse seems to have control over the forces of nature. In "The Johnstown Flood," he uses hypnosis to force the flood waters back into the breached dam and the dam itself back into its unbroken state.

** In "The Old Man And The Lisa", Homer drinks lots of beer so that Lisa can have enough cans for recycling. However, that eventually gets to him when, after Lisa turns down Burns' offer, Homer suffers '''''four simultaneous heart attacks''''' (and a fifth one after [[WhatAnIdiot Lisa tells Homer that 10% of $120,000,000 isn't $12,000]]...[[note]]It's $12,000,000, in case you were wondering[[/note]]).

** In "Homer Goes To College", Homer once caused a nuclear meltdown in a truck containing a ''simulation'' of a nuclear power plant. In the same episode, he also, ''somehow'', caused a criticality incident with a ''classroom model'' of a proton accelerator.

** In another episode, Abe Simpson forgets his own name. He reminds himself by checking his underwear... without removing his pants. Even Abe himself wasn't sure how he did that.

** one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's flashbacks to his HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood shows that neither of his parents were at the hospital for his birth. [[labelnote:*]] However, there could be an [[FridgeBrilliance interpretation]] that maybe as soon as he was born, his parents abandoned him there. [[/labelnote]]

*** "Too Many Pinkie Pies" also has her (or rather, her clones) perform feats like inflating her hoof so that working fingers pop out, or making a "crazy face" by [[VoluntaryShapeshifting morphing her face]] to resemble that of [[MythologyGag a G3 pony]]... which [[TakeThatScrappy Twilight Sparkle immediately proceeds to blast to oblivion]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Earth Benders repeatedly demonstrate that they cannot bend metal. MagicAIsMagicA is so strong with this one that an entire episode was based on earth benders as [=POWs=] in a ''metal'' prison. This trope comes into play near the season 2 climax [[spoiler:when Toph invents metalbending. Not only did this come in handy during the rest of her adventures, but it also made her LegendaryInTheSequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. She also passed the art onto her two daughters, Lin and Suyin.]]

*** In the episode "A Friend In Deed," Pinkie Pie has FantasySequence done in ''felt'' as she runs through her checklist of friend-making activities. After coming out of the spot, she resolves to complete her list, and punctuates it by holding up a green felt checkmark '''from her FantasySequence'''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'': Jude can get a tan from the mall's ''florescent'' lights. His explaination: "The key to a good va-cay is all in the ''mind'' ." Nikki shouted how impossible this was but the tan was there so there wasn't much she could do about it.

** Comicbook/{{Cyborg}} once got in a BrawlerLock with an insanely strong robot who was working at full power. Cyborg won by going farther than full power. His meter was at around 160% before it [[ReadingsBlewUpTheScale exploded]]. This was in fact the [[AnAesop aesop]] of the episode: Cyborg believed it was impossible for him to get any stronger/faster/better etc. because "I'm a robot; my limits are ''built in''." [[HumansAreSpecial His human half]] allowed his mechanical half to perform better than what should have been possible. [[note]]This has been discussed extensively. The short version: The "100%" was a measure of safe capacity, not maximum. He [[HeroicWillpower forced himself]] to exceed his safe limits.[[/note]]
** Also discussed in the episode "How Long is Forever" where Starfire laments the [[VillainOfTheWeek Warp's]] claim about changing the future [[YouCantFightFate being impossible]] and Robin reminds her of their past achievements.

** There are techniques called the 'Six Impossible Moves' which would be better named 'six moves that are impossible for anyone lacking 'TheGift'. Po and Fenghuang can do them because they have it and this is presumably what fuels the latter's [[TheSocialDarwinist "strong rule the weak"]] beliefs.

** In the episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E12TopDuck Top Duck]]", the story opens with Launchpad attempting a stunt that Huey claims no pilot has ever survived. Not only does Launchpad survive the botched attempt, but also he goes on to perform the stunt to save Scrooge from falling out of the sky during an aerial battle with the Beagle Boys.

* On ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's flashbacks to his HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood shows that neither of his parents were at the hospital for his birth. [[labelnote:*]] However, there could be an [[FridgeBrilliance interpretation]] that maybe as soon as he was born, his parents abandoned him there. [[/labelnote]]

They weren't completely successful at it, as Bloom still maintained enough she could eventually fight back and take all her power, but it was still far beyond anyone had ever achieved, or even thought possible.

* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', it's stated that a million cameras are watching the cast, yet the same episode has Toot die four times and come back with no explanation (sometimes in the ''next scene'' '''her first death'''). Think about how unbelievable that is. The first episode also has Xandir say that he's died 8 million times saving his girlfriend, easily the most deaths of any fictional character in history and the most devoted boyfriend in any work of fiction in history...yet the episode opens by saying he's gay. WordOfGod says that [[SurrealHumor nothing in this show happens for any reason other than to be funny.]] You'd go nuts trying to comprehend it.

** In "Doof Side Of The Moon", it's stated that the building Phineas and Ferb built could not be moved by any force on Earth. It turns out to be a case of ExactWords, as it's moved by a force from the ''Moon''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': Alternity Megatron's Tesseractal Swords are blades of infinite length. "Physical space is not an obstruction."

* In the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', it's stated that a million cameras are watching the cast, yet the same episode has Toot die four times and come back with no explanation (sometimes in the ''next scene'' '''her first death'''). Think about how unbelievable that is.
