History LaserGuidedKarma / WesternAnimation

* In ''WesternAnimation/CentralPark'', Season 1 "[[Recap/CentralParkS1E9LiveItUpTonight Live It Up Tonight]]", when Bitsy and Helen gets locked inside a liquor store room, Bitsy decides to destroy all the liquor in the room because she believe it belong to her competitor, the Dagmont Hotel, and convinces Helen to join her. After they get out and learns the auditor couldn't find any dirt on Owen, she decides to drown her sorrow with liquor until her staff tells her someone broke into their liquor store room and smashed all the bottles, making Bitsy and Helen realize they screwed up badly.

** In "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball It's A Trap!]]" at then end of [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou the battle of Endor, Chewie (portrayed by Brian)]] shows up in AT-ST and he indiscriminately blasts a squirrel, a butterfly, and a hummingbird. When he spots a beehive that he surmises must have taken months to build, [[TooDumbToLive he blasts it]], with [[BeeAfraid predictable]] [[AmusingInjuries results.]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', Jon's cousin's genius son gets a variation of this and KarmaHoudini: On one hand, he gets off scot-free for framing Garfield twice. On the other hand, Garfield manages to get some revenge on the kid despite being scolded and shamed by Jon: when Jon tells him to go apologize to the sadistic inventor, Garfield instead sneaks in and grabs the remote to his DoAnythingRobot. At the end of the episode we see the robot forcefully making the kid spin around like a ballerina, with Garfield noting the kid made such a good work that the robot's battery is likely to last at least three days.

* The ''Mickey [=MouseWorks=]'' short "Future Mania", which originally aired as part of the ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' episode "House of Genius", had Ludwig Von Drake attempt to show Goofy, Donald, and Mickey visions of the future with his invention the Future Viewer to show them how their lives will be better with the advanced technology that will come. Unfortunately, the demonstrations prove to be more trouble than they are worth. For example, Donald's nephews are used to power their uncle's entertainment system, but they eventually get bored and go back to pestering their uncle. Mickey also gets the short end of the stick when a needlessly complicated attempt to talk to Minnie ends with her breaking up with him after he sees her in a towel by accident and is wrongly accused of leaving her for [[SexBot a mousedroid]]. Fed up with the {{Bungling Inventor}}'s blunders, Goofy, Mickey, and Donald then hook Ludwig up to the machine, and he initially enjoys having a fast car and a duck gynoid with him until his car goes too fast and [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale the duck gynoid becomes unnecessarily clingy to him]].

** One episode has Hank, his friends, and Bobby sneaking in to a luxury box during a football game (that they even got in from scalper tickets), posing as a former player on the opposite team. When the coach is knocked out, Hank is mistaken for the player and called to make a play for their team. He deliberately makes a terrible play in attempt to make the opposing team lose... [[SpringtimeForHitler but this results in them winning instead,]] and has to go through even more humiliation by wearing jerseys of the other team and getting in a convoy with them after various incidents.

* The ''Literature/RottenRalph'' episode "Ralph's Super Duper Bloopers" has Ralph film and humiliate Sarah and her parents so that he can send the tape to ''Blunders and Bloopers'' as an entry in their video contest. When it occurs to him that Sarah and her parents will be mad at him for exploiting their misfortunes, he tries to get the tape back from the recording studio by sneaking past the security guard while dressed like a clown. Ralph instead gets humiliated and kicked off the premises, the footage recorded by the security cameras ultimately becoming the winning entry of the video contest.

** In ''Total Drama Island'' Heather bullies Lindsey and at one point threatens to cut off her hair. In the episode Triple Dog Dare the dare Lindsey created was for the person to be shaved bald, resulting in Heather losing almost all her hair--also, since Heather didn't technically accept the dare, she finally gets eliminated (and thus has no chance of winning the show's cash prize).
** In ''Total Drama Action'' Justin gets rejected by his crush, pushed of a tower by said crush, getting hit by parts of the tower on the way down. When he is eliminated, no one really cares to see him go. Courtney had lost her PDA and got eliminated by her boyfriend for being so uptight.
** Alejandro suffers this in the ''Total Drama World Tour'' season finale. After manipulating most of the female cast for most of the season, he falls in love with Heather....who tricks him into holding off his victory and [[GroinAttack kneeing him in the balls]] before pushing him down a mountain. He suffers the same fate he inflicted on all his victims. DAMN. And in [[MultipleEndings Heather's victory]], he ''THEN'' gets burned alive under an avalanche of ''molten lava.'' He's singed to a crisp and still alive, but still.
** In ''Revenge of the Island'' Scott gets catapulted off the island with Fang, who mauls him to the point where he gets the Captain Pike treatment.
** The evil show's host Chris finally get the ultimate punishment when the government arrests him for turning Wawanakwa Island into an environmental disaster in ''Revenge of the Island''.
** The only karma Sugar ever got for her elimination in ''Pahkitew Island'' was getting eliminated for her horrible singing. Ironically, she played a part in getting Ella eliminated by stating that she sang.

** Cartman gets bitten in the ass by this every so often. For example, he feigns Tourettes syndrome (mental disorder that strips people of control over their behavior and speech) so he could swear to his heart's content without reprimand. All goes shiny until he [[spoiler:loses control of himself and starts spilling out all his embarrassing secrets.]]

* Despite being a SadistShow, ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' believes in this trope. Lois falls victim to this from her family members, like Meg verbally calling her out to the point she cried and Chris calling her a bitch. Connie falls victim to this when Chris made her unpopular (and when she made fun of Meg for going to the prom with Brian, with Brian calling her out on making fun of Meg by pointing out that the reason she does that is because she developed sexually earlier than Meg did and takes out all of her low self-esteem on an innocent victim), and Peter falls victim to this at times for all the idiotic and/or jerkass things he's done (one episode had him stand trial for blowing up a children's hospital). Inverted when he gets charged a jail sentence... till next Sunday night at 9:00.

** Cartman receives his most ironic punishment yet in "Splatty Tomato". Throughout Season 21, he does everything to keep Heidi in a dysfunctional relationship with him (lying to her, controlling her diet, manipulating her beliefs etc.) all while he still thinks of himself as [[PlayingTheVictimCard "the victim of her abuse".]] Not only does Heidi learn of Cartman's deception and malicious intents (include his attempts to kill her), but [[HeelRealization realizes]] how his victim mindset changed her, which causes her to break up with Cartman for good (even ignoring his suicide bluffs that originally kept her from leaving him). To make it even more ironic, the only reason Cartman keeps the relationship going is because of [[AttentionWhore the attention Heidi gives him.]] By the time they break up however, everyone is too focus on The President and the Whites to pay attention to their breakup and his suicide bluffs.

** Mr. Krabs tends to be a victim of this in episodes centered on him. [[DesignatedHero Coincidentally these are the episodes when he's at his greediest and being antagonistic.]]

** In [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball "It's A Trap!"]] at then end of [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou the battle of Endor, Chewie (portrayed by Brian)]] shows up in AT-ST and he indiscriminately blasts a squirrel, a butterfly, and a hummingbird. When he spots a beehive that he surmises must have taken months to build, [[TooDumbToLive he blasts it]], with [[BeeAfraid predictable]] [[AmusingInjuries results.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': In [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS7E7DangerousDebt "Dangerous Debt"]], while on the run, Ahsoka and the Martez sisters run into a hungry Gotal begging for credits, only for Rafa to rudely brush him off. Moments later, the beggar runs into the Pykes and sells them out.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E19ZeroHour "Zero]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E20ZeroHourPartII Hour"]], [[GloryHound Admiral Konstantine]] disobeys Grand Admiral Thrawn's orders to keep his [[NoWarpingZone Interdictor cruiser]] in the back, [[spoiler:and pays for it with his life when Commander Sato and two of his bridge crew [[RammingAlwaysWorks ram]] the ''Phoenix Home'' into Konstantine's interdictor.]]

** In [[Recap/WeBareBearsS3E5Ralph "Ralph"]], after Ralph ditches Charlie for trying to save some human hikers Ralph tried to kill as part of a DeadlyPrank, Ralph gets his comeuppance when he gets attacked by a nest of snakes.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' episode "You Made Me," Lemongrab tortures several people in an electrical chamber, tries to KO his mom, spies on the citizens of the Candy Kingdom as they sleep, and assaults a baby. In his next episode, "Mystery Dungeon," he is KO'd by the Ice King, separated from his family (who are in the process of slowly starving to death, as is Lemongrab himself), brought to the Mystery Dungeon against his will, and is nearly killed when a giant monster squeezes out all of his blood.

** The Joker is usually a KarmaHoudini, but he got it good in episode "Beware the Creeper". He pushes Jack Ryder into a vat of chemicals after dosing him with laughing gas. Ryder comes back as ComicBook/TheCreeper, who hits on Harley and eventually chases Joker through Gotham in a chase scene so wacky it ends with Joker yelling, [[EvenEvilHasStandards "He's a lunatic!"]] and practically begging Batman for help, only to get arrested.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' sees karma finally bite Chief Angel Rojas in the ass after two seasons of being a PointyHairedBoss and BadBoss, in the second season finale, "Night and the City", after he cans Ellen Yin and uses her as bait to trap Batman. The problem for Rojas? This episode also marks the debut of Commissioner Gordon into the series and considering here, much like in other Batman incarnations as well as the NYPD, Commissioner outranks Chief and ol' Jimbo is ''the'' TropeNamer for TheCommissionerGordon, Jim catches Rojas attempting to rearrest Yin and tells Rojas to back off, forces him to reinstate Yin, and effectively ends Rojas's manhunt for Batman considering the last scene sees Jim and Bruce meet at the Batsignal.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'', Riley is playing a game of basketball where he [[spoiler:got the center to run off crying by telling her that her parents were getting divorced and waiting until after her birthday to tell her, and she was replaced by an autistic kid. Said socially challenged child [[DiabolusExMachina turns out to be a child prodigy at basketball]].]]

-->'''Brandon''': Why is this happening to me?!
-->'''Real Magic Skeleton''': Your actions have consequences.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E19ZeroHour "Zero Hour"]], [[GloryHound Admiral Konstantine]] disobeys Grand Admiral Thrawn's orders to keep his [[NoWarpingZone Interdictor cruiser]] in the back, [[spoiler:and pays for it with his life when Commander Sato and two of his bridge crew [[RammingAlwaysWorks ram]] the ''Phoenix Home'' into Konstantine's interdictor.]]

** In "Zanzibar!", he sees no problem dumping waste in populated areas and sings a song about how little he cares about the environment. Another song later in the episode warns not to pollute or "you'll get what you deserve". At the end when Ed is angry over Conglom-O making him clean up O-Town, he still doesn't care about the environment and sings a sarcastic reprise of the citizens' song about recycling, which ends with him spraying a can of aerosol into the air. The resulting [=CFCs=] eat a hole in the ozone layer and he gets burned by a blast of radiation.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' Dr. Robotnik's plan that came the closest to succeeding was in "Hero of the Year", when he has [[HonestJohnsDealership Wes Weasely]] convince Sonic to host an award ceremony and invite most of his allies, then Robotnik crashes the event and demands that Sonic allow himself to be put into a bathysphere and left at the bottom of the ocean in exchange for everyone's safety. Of course, it turns out Robotnik [[ILied lied]] [[MortonsFork and was planning to sink the yacht with everyone on it anyway]]. For helping him with the caper, Robotnik gives Wes his own shopping network, but his crucial mistake was attempting to outcon a ConMan; [[KickTheDog he didn't give Wes the freedom to broadcast and wrote their contract in disappearing ink]], so Wes rescues Sonic to take revenge on Robotnik for stiffing him by humiliating Robotnik at [[ItsAllAboutMe his own award ceremony]].

** In "Ed Good, Rocko Bad", he runs for city dog catcher against Rocko and creates a smear campaign to demonize him. In the end Ed wins in a landslide, [[PyrrhicVictory but the job ends up being reduced to a janitor at a dog amusement park]].

* In the WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoon "My Favorite Duck," Daffy, in his ScrewySquirrel persona, goes out of his way to torment a camping Porky; every time Porky is pissed off enough to threaten violence, Daffy produces various signs that state it isn't duck season and Porky will be fined $500 bucks if he harms Daffy in any way. By the end of the cartoon, Daffy gets his just deserts when the final signs end up stating that it ''is'' duck season, and Porky eagerly takes the opportunity to get back at Daffy with a shotgun.

** Another example was Uncle Ruckus TemptingFate by declaring that if he wasn't correct, [[SmiteMeOMightySmiter may God strike him down]]. [[BoltOfDivineRetribution God does.]] At the same time, this is positive Karma for Huey, who had spent the entirety of the episode trying to prove the innocence of a man on death row. The lightning strike knocks out the power on the electric chair for just long enough that the appeal proving him innocent came through.

** In a segment in "22 Short Films About Springfield", Nelson Muntz decides to make fun of Ian, a very tall man who has trouble driving his car. Ian, who certainly doesn’t like being made fun of, chases Nelson down, and after giving him a stern lecture, pulls down Nelson’s pants and forces him to walk down the street while blowing kisses and waving while the other townsfolk laugh at him. As a final piece of karma, Bart and Mulhouse squirt condiments on Nelson when they see him like this.

** John Redcorn is paying for his affair with Dale's wife Nancy by having to watch from the side as his son is raised by a complete moron.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': One episode has Hank, his friends, and Bobby sneaking in to a luxury box during a football game (that they even got in from scalper tickets), posing as a former player on the opposite team. When the coach is knocked out, Hank is mistaken for the player and called to make a play for their team. He deliberately makes a terrible play in attempt to make the opposing team lose... [[SpringtimeForHitler but this results in them winning instead,]] and has to go through even more humiliation by wearing jerseys of the other team and getting in a convoy with them after various incidents.

** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's, Kingdom Part 2]]" Discord stabs Equestria, and Fluttershy, in the back siding with Tirek. Tirek, after convincing Discord he was an ally and a friend, stabs him in the back. This seems to cause Discord to have a ''true'' HeelRealization.
*** Likewise, Tirek going back on his word to share Equestria with Discord. The medallion was meant to be a sign of trust between Discord and him. When he doesn't uphold the symbolism of such, it shows Discord the error of his ways and gives Twilight the very thing needed to beat him.
** In "A Canterlot Wedding", Celestia ignored Twilight's warnings about Cadence, who was really the Changeling Queen, Chrysalis, in disguise. This gave the Queen the time she needed to absorb enough love from Shining Armor to defeat Celestia in combat. Later, the Changeling Queen is defeated by Shining Armor and Cadence, with the same love she claimed to live off of.
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E20GreenIsntYourColor Green Isn't Your Color]]" Pinkie Pie forces Twilight to keep the secrets that could have solved the problem between Fluttershy and Rarity a lot sooner, even going as far as to stalk the unicorn and nearly driving Twilight crazy over it. Four seasons later, in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E20TheOneWherePinkiePieKnows The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows]]", Pinkie discovers Shining Armor and Princess Cadence (Twilight's brother and sister-in-law) are going to have their first baby, and is asked to not share the secret with anyone until the couple arrives in Ponyville so they can tell Twilight themselves. Between trying to hold back her usual MotorMouth tendencies and [[SeriousBusiness enforcing her belief in taking secrets seriously,]] Pinkie literally falls apart by the time the couple finally surprise Twilight.
** [[InvertedTrope The good kind]] happens in the Season 6 finale, "To Where and Back Again" where Thorax, a changeling who was heroic in comparison to the evil Queen Chrysalis returns to the Changeling hive and through his heroic ways, reforms the Changelings while overthrowing Chrysalis.
