* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "[[Recap/AmericanDadS6E12MayTheBestStanWin May the Best Stan Win]]", a cyborg Stan comes back in time to steal Francine from his past self, having realized in the intervening 1000 years how much he missed her. He actually convinces Francine to leave Present Stan by telling her "That man's just going to keep letting you down; I know, I ''was'' him!" When Present Stan fights back, Cyborg Stan has absolutely no problem beating him senseless.

-->'''Sasha:''' I am NOT that person anymore!
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' has Norb develop amnesia or damnesia as the episode calls it and becomes "Troy". Troy becomes horrified after seeing a video of himself and wonders how Dag could like him after all the times Norb mistreated him.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': In a dream that Prunella has about her giving a gift to Francine, she ends up scolding herself, only to realize that it is her.
* Variation in the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]]", wherein the main cast watch a play about their adventures. While all of them (sans Sokka and Toph) are irritated by their portrayals, Zuko's anger comes from the actors comically exaggerating all of his worst actions throughout the series, describing it as taking every mistake he's made and throwing it right back in his face during the intermission.
* {{Inverted|Trope}} in the ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' episode "Ben 10,000", in which the 10-year-old Ben finds his FutureBadass self very boring and rude to everyone and helps him [[CharacterDevelopment loosen up]] and remember how he can have fun and [[BeYourself be himself]] and be a hero at the same time. Future Ben himself doesn't seem to like his younger self either (at least before taking his advice) but this is less of an example of this trope and more of an example of HatesEveryoneEqually which, again is another reason why young Ben seems not to like his older self.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'': Following a trans-dimensional mishap in one episode, 10-year-old Ben Tennyson meets his 16-year-old self. Ben doesn't hate his younger self, but he does find him incredibly rude and annoying, scolding him when he makes rude comments.
* Dark Danny from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', being the psychotic evil ghost that he is, can't stand his heroic younger self or any part of his past life. He does admit at one point that he misses Tucker's sense of humor, though.
* Goes both ways in one ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' episode where Captain Hero finds a way to communicate with his teenage self and decides that he is an absolute loser who deserves to be punished. He repeatedly tricks his past counterpart into performing depraved acts in public, until his younger self, realizing what a {{jerkass}} future Hero is, retaliates and arranges for him to be arrested. [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in that both versions of Hero are too dumb to quite understand the implications of them being the same character in different time periods (future hero remembers suffering similar abuse but opts for revenge by continuing the cycle instead of realising that he can break it).
* In the WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck short ''WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck'', the animator deliberately misaligns the tracking of the film so two frames of the film are temporarily visible. Daffy then proceeds to get into an argument and fist-fight with the version of himself from one frame (1/24th second) ago.
-->'''Daffy 1:''' Listen to bub, if you wasn't me, I'd smack you right in the puss!\\
'''Daffy 2:''' Don't let ''that'' bother you, jack!
* A RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has characters always acting hostile towards past, future ''and'' alternate versions of themselves... except Bender. If there's one thing Bender loves, it's Bender -- though there is one exception in "[[Recap/FuturamaM1BendersBigScore Bender's Big Score]]".
-->'''Bender-2:''' Hey! Who are you?\\
'''Bender-3:''' ''[dressed in a tuxedo]'' I'm Bender from way at the end. I came back to put this rub-on time code on Fry's ass.\\
'''Bender-2:''' So, what are you now, a butler? "Spot of tea, please, jerkwad!"\\
'''Bender-3:''' It's called class, you yokel. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a buttocks to tattoo.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' Avalon arc, the Archmage becomes quite irritated with his younger self for being impulsive and not thinking things through. He takes it upon himself to tutor the younger him, and frequently makes jabs about how incompetent he is. The difference in time between the two is a matter of ''hours''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'', the eponymous character, suffering from chronic LaserGuidedAmnesia, finds out that he once sold out his best friends to a crime boss. Also, though he never mentions ''hating'' it, per se, Six was a cold-hearted {{Jerkass}} and wannabe [[TheCasanova Casanova]] before he met Rex, and reverts to this when he loses six years of memory. In an odd inversion of the trope, Six decides to try turning his life (back)around when he sees the admiration Rex had for his past "future" self.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
** Vandal Savage in the episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E19And20Hereafter Hereafter]]". It took 30,000 years of self-imposed exile on the ruined Earth (which he ruined) as the last human being alive for him to give up his megalomania. As Savage prepares to send Superman back in time, Savage tells Superman that he must stop Savage's past self no matter what.
** In the ''Unlimited'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E13TimeWarped The Once and Future Thing: Time, Warped]]", [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond old Bruce Wayne]] meets his past self and, during a suspect's interrogation, comments that "I can't believe I was ever that green." Afterwards, Old Bruce teaches his past self how to properly interrogate a criminal, foregoing the traditional method of terrifying the {{Mook|s}} and instead simply ''beating'' information out of him. This leads to an amusing GoodCopBadCop with Batman playing both roles, and past Batman's teammates expressing their disbelief at the Batman they know being able to pull off Good Cop.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'': Downplayed example in "Time Share". Blue Beetle and Batman travel to the past to prevent Chronos from causing havoc with Batman's past. The two end up encountering the past Batman, who is living out of his car, without his GrapplingHookGun and saying cheesy lines and posing. Present Day Bats is clearly embarrassed by this phase of his career. Especially when the younger Batman does the classic 'I am the night' rooftop pose, mere minutes after Batman told Beetle that heroes do ''not'' pose. Blue Beetle makes sure Scarab took a picture.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime It's About Time]]", while it isn't hate, Twilight is frustrated upon the realization that the StableTimeLoop she just created could have been avoided if her past self had just shut up for five seconds.
* After the TimeSkip in ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', as a result of [[MyGreatestFailure his failure to protect Mainframe when he was a kid]], Matrix expresses constant dislike of the memories of himself as a kid. During a dream sequence in one episode, he even comes face to face with his younger self and they argue. Eventually a copy of his younger self joins the cast and Matrix treats him like an AnnoyingYoungerSibling. The relationship is eventually inverted. Despite initially [[HeroWorship worshipping]] his future self, copy Enzo grows to dislike Matrix's bitterness, while Matrix tries to regain some of the idealism of his youth.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', Rick unwillingly teams up with a memory of his younger self during a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind and the two constantly trade verbal barbs with one another as his younger self is [[FutureMeScaresMe put off by what a pessimistic old crank he becomes]], while [[StrawNihilist his current self]] looks down on his past [[TheAntiNihilist idealism]].
* The premise of ''WesternAnimation/SavingMe'' involves an old and very much hated tech billionaire named Bennett Bramble having a HeelRealization over his decades of arrogant cruelty and inventing a MentalTimeTravel machine to stop his younger InsufferableGenius kid self from repeating his mistakes.
* Grouchy Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAChristmasCarol'': "Past me is so annoying."
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** In the "Go God Go" duology, Cartman tries [[ItMakesSenseInContext warning himself not to freeze himself by using a phone designed to make prank calls to the past]]. However, Past!Cartman doesn't believe Future!Cartman, and just insults him. This leads to Future!Cartman calling his past self an asshole. Then at the end of the episode, when Cartman is clearly going to do the whole mess again, he gets a call from his future self and acts exactly the same way.
** In the Season 21 finale, Heidi reminisces about the early stages of her relationship with [[spoiler:Cartman]], and is disgusted by [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis how nice and caring she was back then]]. However, this [[spoiler:leads to her HeelRealization, and HeelFaceTurn]] at the end of the episode.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In the episode "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E22StevenAndTheStevens Steven and the Stevens]]", Steven uses a magic time-travelling hourglass to team up with three temporal duplicates of himself and start a band. Unfortunately, the other Stevens start getting on the original Steven's nerves, and he starts to realize how annoying he can be.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'', the Skeleton King has nothing but contempt for his past self, [[spoiler:the good-hearted Alchemist who created the Hyperforce specifically to oppose the monster he was doomed to become]], whom he derides as a sentimental weakling.
