* ''Quiet Please!'' (1989) (not to be confused with the Franchise/TomAndJerry [[WesternAnimation/QuietPlease1945 cartoon]]), featured in the Spike and Mike animation festival, features every tasteless joke you could think of, including a dead baby being urinated on and a priest getting his head blown off. The cartoon is extremely NSFW, as you can imagine.
** The sequel, ''Sittin' Pretty'', isn't any better. The same man and baby return, with the baby being killed, chopped up, and baked into a meatloaf because the man was hungry.

* ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'': Pinocchio rewrites one of Count Volpe's propaganda pieces to be filled with ToiletHumor at [[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini Il Duce's expense]]. Mussolini responds to this by [[WouldHurtAChild ordering Pinocchio's summary execution]] in a tone that's morbidly funny in its [[TranquilFury casualness]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'':
** When a Koopa Troopa questions Bowser's plan to [[spoiler:marry Peach]], Bowser burns his skin using his fire breath, turning him into a Dry Bones. It's done in a very cartoonish manner, with the Koopa not actually being killed.
** This is the entire point of Lumalee, since he's been in Bowser's prison for so long that he has absolutely no hope for himself and others in the prison and legitimately wishes to die. [[spoiler:He's ''excited'' when he's about to be pushed into lava along with Bowser's other prisoners, and ''disappointed'' when he's saved by Donkey Kong.]]

** Elastigirl suffering hypoxia while fighting the Screenslaver on the plane in ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2''. She sounds drunk and loopy, but her dialogue conveys a PrimalFear - ''"I don't wanna die"''.

* The Goofy short "WesternAnimation/HowToBeADetective" is a lot DarkerAndEdgier in its comedy. It opens with a guy getting thrown off a bridge, followed by a pan over silhouettes in an apartment building, each of which is displaying a scene of comically over-the-top violence. Later, there's a gag where Goofy is kicked out of the city morgue after falling down an elevator shaft, and is told, "Beat it, and don't come back 'til you're ready!"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHillFarm'': The wife casually snaps the neck of a chicken right after one of the tourists takes her picture. The tourist faints.
* ''WesternAnimation/ErnestEtCelestine'' has a number of black comedy moments, especially the one scene where Celestine waxes about the diseases that Ernest might get if he keeps eating out of garbage.
* The classic 1936 two-reel ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} short ''WesternAnimation/PopeyeTheSailorMeetsSindbadTheSailor'' had a rather dark running gag. Wimpy spent most of the story chasing a duck with a meat grinder, with the intention of turning it into a burger. Fortunately, the duck ends up getting away, swiping Wimpy's last hamburger in retaliation after he gives up.

* ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToHell'' is a BuddyPicture about an [[{{Keet}} intensely friendly]] [[OurDemonsAreDifferent murderer-turned-demon]] whose job it is to drive an apathetic high-schooler to suicide, under the orders of [[MysteriousEmployer Mephistopheles]]. And he's absolutely terrible at his job.
* ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfTomorrow'' is mostly just gloomy, but a large part of its humor is this. It's especially common in young Emily's blithe reactions to horrible news, like the pretty shiny stars that are actually dead bodies being burned up in space through failed time travel.

-->'''Deadpool''': What do you say after the mission we kill all those [[PeopleJars floating babies]]?\\
'''Omega Red''': ...do you ever shut up, Wilson?\\
'''Deadpool''': What? Babies creep me out! Rock-a-bye--BANG!
* The 1978 animated short ''WesternAnimation/SpecialDelivery'' is a whimsical, cheerful little cartoon about a mailman who slips and dies on an icy porch, followed by the husband's panicky disposal of the body.
* Spike And Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation is full of it, They introduced theirselves to the world with "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window" (A Cartoon where a dog gets impaled by a glass window).

* ''WesternAnimation/MaryAndMax'' when it isn't being depressing, is actually really darkly comedic. The Narrator always compares Max's process of foreign concepts to his weight (i.e. He's fat), Max himself had to attend Jury Duty for a trail that involved a man who killed his family and friends... at his own surprise birthday party, and when Max's air conditioner falls and kills a mime, instead of the mime running away, he pretends to open an umbrella, which kills him.

* Delivered in spades in ''WesternAnimation/{{Boogie}}'', suitably enough, being an R-Rated ''adult'' cartoon. Old people and young children are graphically beaten up and slaughtered for laughs, including a MushroomSamba moment from the titular "hero" (we're using this term somewhat loosely) where a little girl gets blown up by a Tinkerbell {{Expy}} wielding a grenade launcher. ''Hilarious!''
* ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'': Multiple, with Olaf:
** Olaf introduces himself with the cheery song "In Summer", where he sings about how fun the first summer of his life will be. Except Olaf is ''a snowman'' who's only a day old and doesn't know yet that the arrival of summer will cause him to melt and die.
--->'''Olaf''': Winter's a great time to stay home and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a... [[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion happy snowman]]!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater'':
** At one point Plankton and [=SpongeBob=] sneak back into Bikini Bottom to rescue Plankton's computer wife Karen, who was being tortured by the denizens of the town because they thought she had the Krabby Patty secret formula. Plankton and [=SpongeBob=] need Karen to operate the time machine they had built, and remove her monitor from her robotic body. [=SpongeBob=] acts like he's {{squick}}ed out about it, saying "I've never carried a head before". Plankton responds "Don't worry, you'll get used to it," implying he's cut off and carried actual heads around before. Since Karen is a computer, this doesn't harm her, but she does state that powering the time machine is going to take up all her processing power.
** The scene with a fish in hospital eating a patty. Dr. Gilliam declares that he'll be gone in a week, and his wife mourns the imminent loss while eating a patty herself.
* ''WesternAnimation/MaryAndMax'' when it isn't being depressing, is actually really darkly comedic.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'', the titular Titans want their own movie so they go back in time to stop the origins of the more popular heroes. When they get back to the present, the villains have taken over so they have to go back in time and restore the heroes. They cause Krypton's explosion but the bleakest thing they do is to Franchise/{{Batman}}. They get the Waynes coming out of the movie theater, put the sting of pearls around Martha Wayne's neck, and then shove them down the alley to their deaths. You even hear her scream and the gunshots.
* Offscreen variation in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. The owner of the arcade notices the Fix-It Felix Jr. machine acting up and says it's gone cuckoo ([[ScatterbrainedSenior like his nana]]). Then he comments that if they can't fix it, they're gonna have to [[DeadlyEuphemism put the game out to pasture]]... like his nana.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'' is filled to the brim with this. This is a kids' movie where one of the characters is a suicidal rabbit [[WhoWantsToLiveForever who's been made immortal]] and where brainwashing people is treated just like a carwash.
