History CurbStompBattle / WesternAnimation

*** In "The Mean 6", the mane ponies' [[EvilDoppleganger evil dopplegangers]] are instantly no match for the Tree of Harmony, as it quickly recognizes them as fake and drains the life right out of them in a matter of seconds.

*** The Flutter Ponies have a knack for this. In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'', they defeat the immensely powerful [[BlobMonster Smooze]] with only a minor degree of difficulty, and later on in the series when they are called upon to put Arabus the cloud monster in his place they have even less trouble, even managing to have enough time in-betweeen effortlessly dodging his lightning bolts to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hys95BayrtM sing to him about his imminent defeat]].

* Okay, so you've never watched ''WesternAnimation/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.)

*** Iroh also had one against Zhao and a group of soldiers. Zhao wisely ran after watching the retired general one shot his men.

** The first six minutes of "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEarthKing The Earth King]]." It's 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]], or least [[TeamMom Katara]] and [[BadassNormal Sokka]]. By this point, it's clear that Aang and Toph have had enough.

* As a general rule of thumb, due to {{Franchise/Superman}} being one of the [[SuperpowerLottery most powerful]] superheroes, whenever one of his A-list villains show up, they have a tendency of stomping other superheroes and scoff at anything less than the Man of Steel, and usually they could only be defeated by HoistByHisOwnPetard or Superman's timely intervention.

* The [[TheFairFolk Flutter Ponies]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'' seem to have a knack for this. In the movie, they defeat the immensely powerful [[BlobMonster Smooze]] with only a minor degree of difficulty, and later on in the series when they are called upon to put Arabus the cloud monster in his place they have even less trouble, even managing to have enough time in-betweeen effortlessly dodging his lightning bolts to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hys95BayrtM sing to him about his imminent defeat]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E6BoastBusters ''Boast Busters'']], Trixie shows off her magic when she first arrives in Ponyville. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity try to teach her a lesson but she easily overpowers all three of them.
** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E6SleeplessInPonyville ''Sleepless In Ponyville'']] the "fight" between the Headless Horse and [[spoiler: Princess Luna]] is very one-sided.
** And of course, there's the showdown between Princess Celestia and [[spoiler: Queen Chrysalis]] in "A Canterlot Wedding".
** In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom Part 2]]'', Twilight and Tirek's first fight is evenly matched, but once the Mane Six get their hooves on the Rainbow Power, a few beams of magic is all it takes to shrivel and seal up Tirek once and for all and get Celestia, Luna, and Cadance back from Tartarus.
* The ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' episode "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate" features a brief clip of a game show called "Man vs. Car", in which a burly guy fights to the death against an ordinary car. [[CaptainObvious Naturally, the car wins]], and one of the announcers even makes an offhand comment under his breath about how ridiculous the concept is.

* The ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' clip "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin World's most one-sided fist fights: Caught on tape!]]".
** There's also the sketch "The Rescue", in which the titular Robot Chicken tears through a castle worth of people with ease to save his wife. The only ones out of about thirty opponents who gave him a fight were Bitch Pudding and the Mad Scientist.

* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'': The titular duel in "Courage VS Mecha-Courage", in which Mecha-Courage literally every torture instrument that it is capable of producing to beat Courage ''incredibly''-nearly to death while the only thing that Courage is able to do in order to defend himself, let alone fight back, is mindlessly [[MadeOfIron tank Mecha-Courage's hits until said machine's battery power runs out from how many of its attacks Courage has survived]].

** Bumi vs. the entire Fire Nation force occupying his city. It was during an eclipse when they were powerless, but it was still several hundred to one. The Fire Nation ''ran away!'' ''[[CrazyAwesome And he threw a gigantic statue after them!]]''

** General Eiling absolutely destroyed Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E., Vigilante, and Shining Knight after his transformation in [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited Unlimited]]. Shining Knight refused to go down, though.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}: "Hello and welcome to a remarkable championship bout. Destructor, a robotic armoured tank, whose very use at battle has been ruled a war crime, versus Gender Bender, who wears a pink tutu."

** Ahsoka vs. Grievous. While she did put up a good fight and manage to escape, the scene showed how far apart their abilities were at the time.
** Ventess vs. the Nightbrothers. Savage was the only to come near to matching her. Then, a transformed Savage executes a Jedi Master, a Padawan, and their clone squadron without breaking a sweat.
** Anakin [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu 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]] [[PhysicalGod of the Force]] respectively.
** [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E16TheLawless "The Lawless"]]: Darth Sidious vs Darth Maul and Savage Opress is implied to be this by most fans. The series itself heavily implies that he could have killed them at the outset if he wanted to (he has them pinned against a wall helpless before blades are even drawn and then releases them with a laugh), but found a fight against them amusing.

** In [[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E6BoastBusters ''Boast Busters'']], Trixie shows off her magic when she first arrives in Ponyville. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity try to teach her a lesson but she easily overpowers all three of them.

* In ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', after 10 years of being told that Eddy's Brother is [[MemeticBadass the strongest and most badass living thing that could ever possibly exist]], in the movie [[spoiler:we finally meet this glorious creature, and his demise is brought on NOT through an epic battle but by a door being unscrewed. By Ed. In like a minute.]]
** Justified according to WordOfGod. [[spoiler: He said that Eddy's brother has always dealt abuse while never having any on him. So whle Eddy built the endurance to take huge amounts of punishment, an unremarkable (by cartoon standards anyway) action of unscrewing a door hinge leading to said door slamming onto him due to Eddy holding on for dear life.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Star delivers one to [[spoiler: Toffee after he's successfully defeated Ludo, Moon, and the Magic High Commission. She does this by going SuperMode and literally nuking Toffee into melted slag with her wand. The bastard didn't stand a chance]].

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS2E25TheAnswer "The Answer"]] has Rose Quartz defuse a {{fusion|Dance}} of three Rubies in one single blow before Pearl poofs two of them.
** There's a point in [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E26TogetherAlone "Together Alone"]] (not to be confused with the much earlier episode [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E37AloneTogether "Alone Together"]]) where the entire team plus a pair of sympathetic Homeworld Gems pull a GoThroughMe moment against Yellow Diamond when the Diamonds threaten Steven and Connie. So... [[ShockAndAwe she goes through them]]. Time elapsed: five seconds.

** The end of "The Siege of the North." Avatar Aang + [[UnstoppableRage pissed off]] [[PhysicalGod La]] vs. the entire Fire Nation invasion force. It ends badly. For the invasion force.

--> '''King Katuunko:''' A single Jedi isn't worth a hundred battle droids. More like a thousand.

** Darth Sidious vs Darth Maul and Savage Opress is implied to be this by most fans. The series itself heavily implies that he could have killed them at the outset if he wanted to (he has them pinned against a wall helpless before blades are even drawn and then releases them with a laugh), but found a fight against them amusing.

** [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsTheSiegeOfLothal "The Siege of Lothal"]]: [[OneManArmy Darth Vader]] versus Phoenix Squadron. The only reason any of the rebels survive is due to [[AcePilot Hera's flying skills]] and Ahsoka's attempt to mind-probe him.
** In the same episode, we get arguably one of the best lightsaber duels in the series: Vader almost casually humiliates Kanan and Ezra, and would've killed them both if they hadn't run away.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse,'' there's a point in "Together Alone" (not to be confused with the much earlier episode "Alone Together") where the entire team plus a pair of sympathetic Homeworld gems pull a GoThroughMe moment against Yellow Diamond when the Diamonds threaten Steven and Connie. So... [[ShockAndAwe she goes through them]]. Time elapsed: five seconds.

* "Weirdmageddon Part 1" features Bill Cipher [[spoiler: easily slaying Time Baby and some other time travelers in a single hit.]]

* The [[TheFairFolk Flutter Ponies]] in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie'' seem to have a knack for this. In the movie, they defeat the immensely powerful [[BlobMonster Smooze]] with only a minor degree of difficulty, and later on in the series when they are called upon to put Arabus the cloud monster in his place they have even less trouble, even managing to have enough time in-betweeen effortlessly dodging his lightning bolts to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hys95BayrtM sing to him about his imminent defeat]].

** In [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E6BoastBusters ''Boast Busters'']], Trixie shows off her magic when she first arrives in Ponyville. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity try to teach her a lesson but she easily overpowers all three of them.

** And of course, there's the disappointing showdown between Princess Celestia and [[spoiler: Queen Chrysalis]] in "A Canterlot Wedding".

** Anakin [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu curbstomped the Daughter and the Son]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome simultaneously]] when they threatened to kill Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. Those are the guys representing the [[SiblingYinYang Light and Dark Sides]] [[PhysicalGod of the Force]] respectively.
** Darth Sidious vs Darth Maul and Savage Opress is implied to be this by most fans. The series itself heavily implies that he could have killed them at the outset if he wanted to (he has them pinned against a wall helpless before blades are even drawn and then releases them with a laugh), but found a fight against them amusing. Considering that it was the first time ever in the series actually seeing Sidious leave the comfort of Coruscant and [[LeaveHimtoMe personally take matters into his own hands]] also counts as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

*** 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Star delivers one to [[spoiler: Toffee after he's successfully defeated Ludo, Moon, and the Magic High Commission. She does this by going OneWingedAngel and literally nuking Toffee into melted slag with her wand. The bastard didn't stand a chance]].
