History EvenEvilHasStandards / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'': Surprisingly enough, The Red Guy (you know, [[Literature/TheBible Satan]]) shows this. In the episode "Cow Fly", he generally feels sorry for Cow after she lost her friend (a fly to be exact) and offers a wiener to her as a replacement. Then again, [[TheDevilIsALoser The Red Guy]] is more Chaotic Neutral than Evil, since he has a completely different motivation in every episode.

'''Numbuh 362:''' Because Father said it himself. [[KidsHateBroccoli Nobody likes broccoli. Not even them.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''
** In "Operation I.T." Father temporarily becomes Soopreme (Supreme) Leader of the KND, planning to infest the treehouses with broccoli. Numbuhs One and 362 attempt to catch him in the Moonbase, but can't because of Father duplicating himself. That's when the Delightful Children From Down the Lane, the recurring antagonists who obey all adults, give the KND Code Module (used to find the DNA of any active KND operative) to them.

'''Numbuh 362:''' Because Father said it himself. Nobody likes broccoli. Not even them.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'', The Devil himself actually ''is'' capable of one single act of genuine kindness brought on by affection. When he needs to steal a single soul by midnight, and ends up mistaken for a cat and adopted by Elder Ketter, he decides the easiest tactic would be to just steal Elder Kettle's soul. However, after Kettle tells him he loves him, The Devil leaves him unharmed and goes after [[ButtMonkey Telephone's]] instead.

-->"Sure Wayne had it coming, but I ain't no '''''monster'''''... Left [[Franchise/{{Batman}} that kid]] without a ma. Felt kinda bad about that."

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Odalia Blight may be a loathsome person who looks down on everyone, [[spoiler:but when she puts her foot down on her daughter Amity dating Luz it's only because Luz has been marked for capture by Emperor Belos. [[FantasticRacism The fact that Luz is human]] doesn't even seem to concern her. [[note]]She doesn't care about them both being girls either, but that doesn't really count since she lives in a NonHeteronormativeSociety.[[/note]]]]

** Mr. Krabs is very money driven and did some illegal practices with his business, but does have some standards. Even after the CharacterDecay from later seasons, his belief on Krabby Patties being made love and care by hand is more important to him than money, and is utterly appalled when after selling the Krusty Krab to a restaurant chain, he finds out that they have taken to simply mass-producing Krabby Patties on a conveyer belt using grey goo that may or may not even be meat. Also, in "Little Yellow Book," Mr. Krabs calls out Squidward after he reads [=SpongeBob's=] diary to everyone in the Krusty Krab. Note that Mr. Krabs was not one of the people laughing at [=SpongeBob=]'s secrets, meaning he's not being a hypocrite.

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': In the cartoon, "The Hole Idea", a scientist invents the "portable hole", but his [[AwfulWeddedLife nagging wife]] is not impressed and criticizes him for his dumb inventions. By the end of the cartoon, she falls through one of his portable holes and apparently, down into Hell, but Satan brings her back and asks, "Isn't it bad enough down there without ''her''?"

* In ''The New Adventures Of Lucky Luke'' the Daltons, [[CardCarryingVillain dastardly bank-robbing crooks they may be, refuse to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X80aPRG-wfs&list=PL5FS18mliH0M1ZGP7CbjgRTjDjYZ1C9xs&index=37 abandon a three month old baby]] in the middle of the desert.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Silco professes how much he values the concept of loyalty in a shaky meeting with a group of treacherous chembarons, being appalled at the idea they're turning against him [[UngratefulBastard after everything he did for them]] to rise to their positions of luxurious living.

* ''EvenEvilHasStandards/ThePowerpuffGirls''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10 Omniverse}}'': Despite his {{Undying Loyalty}} to Zs'Skayr, Dr. Viktor is revolted by his master's plan to resurrect the Vladats (his species' extinct natural predators who used to enslave them as food until the Transylians rebelled against them leading to their demise) for his own selfish desire of ruling the universe. At the end of the episode, he ultimately betrays Zs'Skayr and makes a temporary alliance with Ben in order to prevent their ressurection.

** He sticks to his {{Blue And Orange|Morality}} moral code. One episode has him hunting down the werewolf who scratched his car so he can scratch the werewolf's as payback, admonishing Chris for wanting to kill the werewolf as he sees it as DisproportionateRetribution (He doesn't care the werewolf's a monster; he's just mad someone scratched his car), while another episode has him calling off his revenge on a Wild West Fair that he felt cheated him out of his money because, during his attempts to take said revenge, he got to do what he felt was his money's worth like fight a sheriff and have a showdown at high noon.
** He also seriously draws the line at harming animals. He ''tries'' to blow up a noisy animal shelter but once the animals give him the PuppyDogEyes he can't go through with it and frees them first (leaving the employee to be blown up, mind), while another episode has him put his vengeance against a restaurant on hold long enough to free the lobsters they intended to boil alive.
** More PlayedForLaughs, but Dan was pretty surprised when his best friend [[BigEater Chris]] admits that he would kill for bacon.

** Played straight with Muttley; he seems to be the least mean of the Mean Machine duo, and it has seen to him that Dick's cheating tenancies to win a race even if he pulls out in front are a ''very'' bad idea, and tries to warn Dick not to cheat, but he doesn't listen.

** Also, when he's going to dissect Frisket to obtain a MacGuffin the dog swallowed, he tells his henchmen to take Enzo away because "The boy doesn't need to see this." [[KickTheDog He won't let Enzo say good-bye first, though.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', Eustace likes to torment Courage, but when an abusive veterinarian plans to send him in a rocket to the moon, he disagrees (only because [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes said vet threatened to send Muriel to the moon with Courage]] [[MamaBear after she put herself in danger trying to save Courage herself]]).

** Another episode has plant-villain Bushroot help stop an invasion of alien plants because he's an ''Earth'' mutant plant-duck. (Possibly a deliberate homage to the [[EvenEvilHasStandards/ComicBooks Joker/Red Skull moment.)]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/COPSAnimatedSeries'' episode "The Case of the Lowest Crime", Big Boss rejects a distribution agreement from Addictum, a [[TheAggressiveDrugDealer drug dealer]]. He throws him out, and lectures his cronies about how the amount of hell they'd catch if he catches them doing drugs. He goes further than this when he and his gang assists the titular cops into [[EnemyMine an uneasy truce]] for the sake of bringing Addictum to justice, after his nephew accidentally becomes poisoned by the drugs in a shipment heist gone wrong.

*** Before that, during his brief stay with the X-Men, he was accused of being behind the joyrides of their vehicles. The New Mutants were behind them and he knew it but he chose not to explain just to spite Cyclops. However, once he learns they're gonna take the X-Jet as their next joyride, he realizes they're taking their fun too far and brings Shadowcat with him to put an end to their antics.
