History CurbStompBattle / WesternAnimation

* The season 2 finale of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' pits [[BigGood Princess Celestia]] against [[BigBad Queen Chrysalis]] in a brief BeamOWar. Celestia is quickly overwhelmed and floored, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu to Chrysalis' surprise]]. Then she and her entire army in turn get curb stomped by Candace, and Shinning Armor with the power of their [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower love]].

** Silverbolt in the episode Crossing The Rubicon delivers one to Tarantulas after getting his BerserkButton pushed.

* In SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' episode "Welcome to Republic City" Seventeen-year-old CountryMouse Korra travels to [[CityOfAdventure Republic City]] and bears witness to three members of the [[ElementalPowers bender]] crime gang, the [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Triple Threat Triads]] extorting money from a {{Muggle}} shopkeeper, one a [[MakingASplash waterbender]], one an [[DishingOutDirt earthbender]], one a [[PlayingWithFire firebender]]. Korra ''[[BloodKnight picks a fight]],'' since she's mastered all three arts, and beats them easily. The fight ends with the fleeing gangsters and their roadster tossed through a shop front.

** The first six minutes of "The Earth King." Its basically nothing but Aang, Appa, Sokka, Katara, and Toph vs. pretty much ''the entire Earth Nation army'' around the Earth King's palace, and not only these four humans + one flying bison pounding the Earth Nation's soldiers into the ground, they're doing it while barely slowing down and [[ApologeticAttacker apologizing the whole way]].

* Okay, so you've never watched ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' before. You are watching a random episode and this Aang character has entered the Avatar state. The odds that a CurbStompBattle is about to occur? Even money. (The odds that something awesome is about to occur are about 9:1 in favor.)

** It looked like it might go somewhere when Starscream suddenly grows huge by the power of the {{MacGuffin}}, but Primus ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome turns some moons into maces]]'' and effortlessly slams Starscream into an asteroid. This still manages to be entertaining due to the fact that Starscream getting his ass kicked will ''always'' be entertaining.

** Another Cybertron example, this time with Starscream on the giving end. He somehow manages to defeat all twelve Autobots, including Optimus Prime in full battle mode, for possession of the Omega Lock and Cyber Keys. It was rather ridiculous, since every Autobot hit Starscream, sometimes multiple times, and he managed to knock them out of the fight with one hit. It seemed like they said, "Well, I got hit, see ya later."

** The ''TransformersPrime'' finale gives us the utterly satisfying confrontation between [[spoiler:Airachnid and Soundwave. Airachnid tries to [[TheStarscream usurp power for herself]], only for [[UndyingLoyalty Soundwave]] to stand up to her. The resulting fight is laughably one-sided, and ends with Soundwave's foot on Airachnid's head. Said stomp was the only time Soundwave actually moved his feet during the fight]].

* [[StarWarsTheCloneWars Anakin]] curbstomped the Daughter and the Son simultaneously when they threatened to kill Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. Those are the guys representing the [[SiblingYinYang Light and Dark Sides of the Force]] respectively.

* The only real dramatic tension in {{Hanna-Barbera}}'s ''Shazzan'' comes from seeing if the two kids can summon Shazzan in time to deal with the threat of the week. The moment they do, it's over for the bad guys. Throughout the series, Shazzan proves again and again that he is the most powerful magical being in the setting. Even when his opponents are ostensibly in the same class as him (such as a powerful demon and a fellow genie), Shazzan is completely unthreatened. Shazzan not only beats his enemies every time, he does it easily and with the same big smile on his face.

* ''DC Showcase: Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam'' had title bad guy Black Adam defeat Superman in single combat, then fight both Superman and Captain Marvel at the same time, and only lose once they started getting their teamwork down. Then Adam forces a SadisticChoice on Captain Marvel, between Cap's life or the life of a hostage Adam had. Naturally, being perhaps the biggest nice guy boyscout superhero around, Cap chose the life of the hostage over his own and surrendered, transforming back into Billy Batson. Then Adam tried to kill both Billy and the hostage at the same time, but was prevented from doing so by Superman. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Billy was not amused]]. One magic word later and the beat down Captain Marvel laid into Adam was as profoundly satisfying as it was one sided.

* The final showdown between [[BatmanUnderTheRedHood Batman and Red Hood]] turns into this. At first, it seems that [[spoiler:Jason is holding his own, cutting off Batman's utility belt and laying a few hits. But then Bats torches ''his'' gadgets, and reveals he's been holding back. The resulting bathroom fight scene comes dangerously close to a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown with the Dark knight on top, with Batman ''very'' close to losing it altogether.]]

* Clayface in "Downtime" of ''Series/YoungJustice'' did this to the team ''off-screen''. Seconds later, he was given one himself once Batman [[DynamicEntry arrived on the scene]].

* ''{{Thundercats 2011}}''

* ''BeastWars'' has the epic moment where Megatron and Rattrap dramatically gear up for a fight with each other, complete with close up shots of their narrowing eyes and intense music, they charge at each other both clearly ready for an epic battle in their new Transmetal forms... and Rattrap proceeds to comically trip Megatron causing him to go flying headfirst into a rock.

** And during the earlier Jungle Planet arc, Optimus Prime's MidSeasonUpgrade, Savage Claw Mode, turned many a fight into the more standard example, though villains eventually got upgrades as well and evened the score. The one who suffered worst is Scourge, so dangerous when introduced and then spending the rest of the season getting flung into the air like [[{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket]] after one hit by pretty much anyone. He ''thought'' he was still tough, though, which only made you feel sorrier for him.

* Okay, so you've never watched ''[=~Avatar: The Last Airbender~=]'' before. You are watching a random episode and this Aang character has entered the Avatar state. The odds that a CurbStompBattle is about to occur? Even money. (The odds that something awesome is about to occur are about 9:1 in favor.)

** Mace Windu has another such battle, in the original Clone Wars mini-episodes, when he goes to planet Dantoine (I think that's how it's spelled), and his entire army is slaughtered by a CIS superweapon. His response? Beat the enemy robots to death ''with his bare hands'' and then destroy the superweapon singlehandedly. At one point he delivers a series of punches to some battledroids so outrageous, I swear, his fists looked like they were on fire. [[ButNowIMustGo And then, he drinks some water a little boy gave him and leapt off a mountain into the distance.]] [[BeyondTheImpossible Yes.]]

** The ''TransformersPrime'' finale gives us the utterly satisfying confrontation between [[spoiler:Airachnid and Soundwave. Airachnid tries to [[TheStarscream urusp power for herself]], only for [[UndyingLoyalty Soundwave]] to stand up to her. The resulting fight is laughably one-sided, and ends with Soundwave's foot on Airachnid's head. Said stomp was the only time Soundwave actually moved his feet during the fight]].

* ''SamuraiJack'' does this rather well in the episode "The princess and the bounty hunters" After spending almost the entire episode telling how they would individually take down Jack, the said princess advises they join forces to bring him down. After laying out a seemingly perfect trap, they all hide under the snow. They all spring on jack as he walks by... and he take them ALL down in less time than a drop a water from a melting icicle can hit the ground.

* In the ''{{Thundercats 2011}}'' episode "Omens Part Two" Thundera's [[CatFolk Cats]] are laid [[TheSiege siege]] to by [[LizardFolk Lizards]]. The Cats have bows and arrows and a bit of sorcery. The Lizards have laser rifles, {{Sticky Bomb}}s, ''HumongousMecha'' and ''[[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles]]''. The Cats lose their kingdom in ''one night''. They have a HopeSpot thanks to their [[ChurchMilitant Clerics]] and the Sword of Omens, but the appearance of TheDreaded ancient evil Mumm-Ra takes care of both.
