History DethroningMoment / WESTERNANIMATION

* Tropers/HappyMan: Don't know if it goes here, since ''WinxClub'' is a cartoon, but the moment happens in TheMovie. Warning, spoilers: Towards the end of the movie, Oritel and Miriam (Bloom's biological parents) invite Mike and Vanessa (Bloom's adoptive parents) to a party in their castle, in order to thank them for raising Bloom while they were absent. And Bloom, upon seeing them, calls them ''by their first names'' instead of "Mom" and "Dad" like she always did, suggesting that she's going to call Mom and Dad to her biological parents ''that she never met''. Because, you know, it doesn't matter if a man resucue you from a fire, takes you to his home and, along his wife, raises you as you were thier own daughter, [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop they will replace your biological parents]], regardless of how much they love you.

** Tropers/{{Ian}}: The aforementioned GainaxEnding in ''World Tour.'' Even for a show tilting towards CerberusSyndrome, seeing Al and Zeke get engulfed in lava and horribly disfigured (the latter ''on fire and screaming in pain'') is pretty heavy stuff. The Dethronging Moment sinks in when you realize they created all that NightmareFuel just for the sake a couple of asinine, poorly-written, cliched, and entirely predictable homages to [[LordOfTheRings Return of the King]] and [[StarWars Revenge of the Sith]], complete with a BigNo contrivedly shoehorned in.

*** The difference between ''I Dated A Robot'' and ''Proposition Infinity'', is that in the former, the robots in question are illegaly (and painfully) dowloaded duplicates of kidnapped existing celebrities; while in the latter, the 'bots are actual individuals with developed personalities of their own.

** SuperSaiyaMan: The treatment of Gwen after she and Duncan entered a relationship. Again, everyone treats her like the worse thing ever, completely ''ignoring'' the fact that Courtney is a [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], spoiled brat, and a control freak. She was abusive to Duncan through the entire portion of Total Drama Action, and when they ''formally'' broke up? Duncan attempted to ''apologize'' but Courtney just continued to throw a temper tantrum and kick him. Yet at no point does any contestant say that maybe, just maybe, Karma caught up with Courtney for how she cheated last season, as well as her abusive actions. Gwen is the DesignatedVillain here, and at no point again-Courtney completely loses it and wants to ''[[MoralEventHorizon murder]]'' Gwen in the end. Gwen is one of the characters viewers most identify with, she felt ''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horrible]]'' that she kissed Duncan right after becoming friends with Courtney, and that she REALLY wanted to leave it at just one kiss until Courtney broke up with Duncan in her temper tantrum. Courtney becomes a [[TheScrappy a Scrappy]] whose getting into Sierra the [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative bitch]] and hypocrite levels. Now I'm not saying that Courtney's anger isn't justified, she just takes it way, way too far and comes off as a KarmaHoudini since no one remembers it is HER fault for driving Duncan off.
** {{Keane23}}: Another prime World Tour (huh, quite a lot for a SeasonalRot escapee) would be ''Picnic at Hanging Rick''. *Sigh.* [[ThisIsSparta Where. Do. I. Begin?]] Let's start with 1., the actual episode title, Picnic at Hanging Rock. Unlike all the other episodes, whose title is an [[{{IncrediblyLamePun}} incredibly lame pun]], PAHR is not. On the contrary, [[PicnicAtHangingRock It is actually the name of an actually book and the subsequent movie from which it was based]]. Talk about [[TheyJustDidntCare just not caring]] [[hottip:* :Update, it turns out the actual name of the episode, at least in the U.S., is actually Picnic at Hanging ''Dork'', not Rock as was made earlier to believe. I considers the new title even worse]]. 2.(and this is where the spoilers begin), the humor. Or, in this case, ''the lack thereof.'' I mean, talk about an episode that, for the first and thus far only time in the entire series, is not funny. At all. An example of this episodes humor, when Owen tries to ride an ostrich, he falls off, and the ostrich sits on his face and farts. How is that funny? It sounds like something [[SeltzerAndFreidberg Seltzerberger]] or [[SpongeBobSquarePants Casey and Zeus]] would come up with. Oh, and that's nothing compared to this episodes lack of originallity. This episodes features a [[BoxingKangaroo boxing kangaroo.]] [[LooneyTunes '''WHERE HAVE I SEEN THAT BEFORE?!?!?!?!?''']] I swear, the only part worth a giggle is [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100818114302/totaldramaisland/images/0/09/CrazyCody3.PNG this]], and even that's pushing it ''just'' a bit. 3., the ''[[CharacterDerailment character derailment]]''. Everyone in this episode is even worse than they are in Total Drama Action. But the most absurd was Cody. This is the episode of Cody's infamous hypocritical humor that's mentioned on the show's main page. It was so bad, that it made me glad that Cody wasn't in TDA. 4., the song. [[SoBadItsHorrible Dear Lord, the song.]] It makes ''[[TheGarbagePailKidsMovie You can be a Garbage Pail Kid]]'' [[BeyondTheImpossible sound like]] [[{{Queen}} Bohemian Rhapsody]], it's that bad. Poor composition, terrible lyrics, ''OUT OF SYNC ANIMATION.'' [[ItGotWorse Shall I go on?]] Hard to believe that this is from the same people who wrote ''[[{{Tearjerker}} Oh Izzy Mix]]'' ([[BetterThanItSounds Don't let the name fool you.]]) And 5., and perhaps most {{Egregious}}, I think it's been made blatantly obvious that the writer has it in for Gwen. Now, before you send the mob after me, I get it. Courtney's anger is, in every shape, form, and manner, ''completely'' justifiable. I mean, how couldn't it be, both her heart and trust had been shattered to a point to which it's beyond repair. But that still doesn't keep me from thinking that the tie-breaker challenge was [[CurbStompBattle completely unfair]]. I mean really, Gwen forced to feed a koala bear [[WallBanger while being allergic to Eucalyptus Leaves and Chris (or at least '''someone''') with the knowledge of this?]] [[NoIndoorVoice REALLY!!!]] [[hottip:* :Oh, and remember the remorse she was feeling for that first kiss? [[AesopAmnesia Yeah, the writer made sure she forgot.]]]] So, yeah, this is "Gwen go bye-bye time", but not before having what jolly well may be the '''biggest''' OutOfCharacterMoment [[strike: of the episode.]] [[strike: of the season thus far.]] [[strike: of the ''show'' thus far.]] [[strike: on Cartoon Network or Teletoon!]] [[strike: in all of Western Animation!]] [[strike: '''in all of Media!!''']] '''EVER!!!!!!!!!''' Six words only:
--> '''Gwen:''' Suck it, Courtney! In your - (beat, she falls.) [[GravityIsAHarshMistress FAAAAAAACCEE!!!!]]

** Tropers/{{Mogo}}: It get's worse than that:They get his charicterization completley wrong. Despite being stingy(He may have even fired Donald, but he did that on a daily basis on the comics.) he would fire the boys for not working for free but he would probably force them to work elsewhere. Plus in DuckTales and the comics, he was buisness savy, he would know at least enough not to strip mine the club so bad that noone would want to come. This potrays him as everyone else sees him:Just a stingy old man who counts his coins(Which DonRosa Lampshaded spectacuarly in TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck with Donald) not the badass buisness man he is everywhere else, for shame disney, forshame.

** Baronobeefdip: For me, it was the episode where Bender and Amy try to make Robot/Human relationships legal. Why? Well, for one thing, it had a '''HUGE''' "AssPull [[StatusQuoIsGod Of God"]]. Basically, the gist of the episode is that Bender and Amy fall in love, but, since "Robosexual" relationships are illegal, their love is forbidden. The two fight tooth-n-nail (metaphorically, not literally) to make Robosexuality legal. And, how does it end? Bender dumps Amy because he doesn't want to be in a monagamous relationship. Really? Really!? First of all, you CAN'T just have a major event happen to one (or more) character and then just hit the ResetButton so that everything is back to normal...'''ESPECIALLY''' in shows that follow some form of continuity like {{Futurama}} does. Second, last time I checked, an ''earlier'' episode already showed ''why'' Robosexual relationships are a ''bad'' idea. So...RetCon hypocrisy, anyone?

** Baronobeefdp: Agreed. Though, for me, the DMOS of 99's death wasn't the stupidity of it...but how suddenly it happened. I mean, we hardly even knew anything about this guy (Other than that he was a "defective clone" and that he still cared deeply for his, erm, "brothers"). And, yet, the series still expects us to feel sad when he dies? Psst, George Lucas, you need to build up more than one episode of CharacterDevelopment for us to ''really'' feel bad when a character dies. (Sigh) And this was the same series that made '''[[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeat Jar Jar Binks]]''' a likeable character.

** Baronobeefdip: For another DW-esque DMOS, there's always the older episode ''DW Flips''. In that episode, after much whiny begging, DW gets to join a gymnastics class. She becomes jealous of her friend, Emily, being more skilled than her, and so she tries to do a flip on the balance beam...only for her mother to come and save her from seriously injuring herself at the last moment. The DMOS comes in when DW's mother is scolding her for her reckless behavior, and DW responds by saying she wants to take "horseriding lessons" after seeing a girl riding a horse. (Beat) Um, DW, need I remind you that you could've been SERIOUSLY injured or even ''killed'' had you gone through with trying to do a flip on the balance beam?

Interpret that line any way you want, but it's still inexcusable, either way. Bottom line, this episode is an absolute abomination on the otherwise beautiful name of Total Drama. [[YourMileageMayVary Your mileage may vary]] here, but to me, at least, it's still really bad. I now close out this entry by misquoting Roger Ebert in saying [[{{North}} "I hated this episode. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this episode. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it."]] And that's all there is to it.

* DoktorVonEurotrash: ''{{Futurama}}'''s second episode after the {{uncancellation}}, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela", generally does a good job of spitting on Leela's normally tough ActionGirl character by having her naked, immobilised and in a cliché RescueRomance with [[HandsomeLech Zapp]] [[MilesGloriosus Brannigan]]. But then she finds out that he's been causing all their problems and tricking her in the hope of getting laid... this is when she'll kick his ass, right? Nope. Instead, a KillSat forces them to have sex, or it will blow up the Earth, so Leela goes ahead with it ([[RapeIsOKWhenItIsFemaleOnMale despite Zapp no longer wanting to]]) in front of the rest of her crew and just off-camera. So, let me count the characters humiliated by this. Leela, because she's forced to sleep with a man she detests. Zapp, because he's ''raped''. And heck, Fry too, since as of the season premiere, he and Leela are after all supposed to be a couple.

* Baronobeefdip: Normally, I like ''JohnnyTest''. But, one episode made me cringe. Which one? Well, it's the one where the parents find out that Dukey can talk. It starts out fine enough, and the idea of the parents having Dukey spend more time with them rather than Johnny makes for a pretty good plot. But, then the show had to pull the most ''BLATANT'' example of [[AssPull "Asspull]] [[StatsuQuoIsGod of God"]] in the history of TV. How, do you ask? Amnesia. That's right. Instead of Johnny simply TELLING his parents that he feels bad that he hasn't gotten the chance to hang out with his dog after said parents find out he can talk, he pretty much tricks them into the lab and erases their memory. (Sigh) [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot So much for the concept of the ENTIRE Test family hilariously dealing with having a talking dog.]]
