* In Jeff Smith's re-make of ''The Monster Society Of Evil'', starring CaptainMarvel, there's a scene where it's explained Dr. Sivana doesn't want to destroy the machines made by Mr. Mind, only to capture and sell them to the army so he can get rich. Upon hearing this, Tawky Tawny helpfully exclaims for the audience, "War profiteering! That is immoral-- and illegal."

* TheSorcerersApprentice gives us this wisdom:

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Literature]]
* The writers of the ''[[TheGloveOfDarthVader Glove Of Darth Vader]]'' series apparently felt TheEmpire was not ObviouslyEvil enough. Yes, the Empire from ''StarWars''. The books dealt with this by taking the bad guys to sublime levels of {{Card Carrying Villain}}y. ("I bid you Dark Greetings!") And not even that stopped the narration from constantly referring to them as evil.
* In ''Literature/TheLegendOfRahAndTheMuggles'', when Zyn starts to turn evil, everyone goes on about how he's so "nasty" that he's spreading nastiness like a disease. The talking animals, the Muggles (including Zyn's adopted mother), and dear lord the ''narrator herself'' can't go for two sentences without reminding us how evil Zyn is.
* From the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' series, we get this gem from ''War of Honor'' as the [[SleazyPolitician High Ridge government]] discusses the possibility of facing a new war that could cause their navy huge casualties:
--> "That's terrible," New Kiev said softly. Which, Janacek reflected, was probably one of the most superfluous things even she'd ever said.
* One Orthodox priest, when arguing about ''Literature/HarryPotter'' with its detractors, essentially moved to ConversationalTroping by explaining this trope, giving a couple examples from popular culture, and then pointing out Rowling's uses of it (particularly the one about a ceiling splattered with frog brains, where Rowling just went out of her way to tell people it's disgusting, as a narrator no less.)
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* ''LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' tends to do this whenever kiddie porn peddlers are involved. One episode featured a convicted pedophile set up a "safe" website for pedophiles to get their fill: [[LoopholeAbuse pictures of underaged children, fully dressed, not in any sexual situations]]. The show tried to sell us that this was bad by having him post a picture of one of the detective's children, causing him to snap and attack him. Not that it was exactly "good", either.
* ''LawAndOrder'' itself tends to be just as bad when their cases have sex crimes connection (with a side of WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous when dealing with escort services).
* ''{{CSI}}'' does this with child molesters quite a lot, too, to contrast them with the frequently jovial treatment they give killers on the show and to say, "But this is ''really'' bad!"
* Gul Dukat's appearances in the last two seasons of ''StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' generally included a lot of this. WordOfGod says that the creators were concerned about MisaimedFandom. So the episode "Waltz" ends with this speech:
--> '''Sisko:''' Sometimes life seems so complicated. Nothing is truly good or truly evil. Everything seems to be a shade of grey. And then you spend some time with a man like Dukat, and you realize that there is such a thing as truly evil.
** Though [[FridgeLogic they might have chosen a better episode for that]] than the one where Dukat was revealed to have ''[[HearingVoices command hallucinations]]''.
* ''{{Scrubs}}'' used this to push itself into RefugeInAudacity when J.D. has a day dream of a Public Service Announcement for Munchausen's by Proxy i.e. child abuse. Remember - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OClhuzy6d2o Don't smother your kids.]]
* Played for laughs in ''{{The Office}}'', when David Brent will often end a conversation about sexism or racism with 'which I hate!' just to vainly try and affirm his PC credentials.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'' is fond of this, usually with the Daleks.
* The ''{{Highlander}}'' TV series had a tendency to do this. Ritchie or Joe tells Duncan that the past "crimes" of some Immortal of the week weren't [[ValuesDissonance quite as heinous]] in [[SocietyMarchesOn the time period they were committed]]. Duncan retorts it was "always wrong" and since he's TheHero, is [[WriterOnBoard framed as being right]].
* ''{{NCIS}}'', 'Toxic':
-->'''[=McGee=]:''': You are under arrest for the murder of nurse Hannah Dunsten.
-->'''[=DiNozzo=]:''': That is correct. And many, many more bad things, because you're a very bad man.

[[folder:Music]]
* [[AvertedTrope Averting]] this trope for "Angel of Death" is more than likely what got people into thinking {{Slayer}} were [[DidNotDoTheResearch Nazi sympathizers]]. According to guitarist Jeff Hanneman, "...there's nothing I put in the lyrics that says necessarily [Josef Mengele] was a bad man, because to me -- well, [[KickTheDog isn't]] [[MoralEventHorizon that]] [[CompleteMonster obvious]]? I shouldn't have to tell you that."
* [[{{Supertramp}} Crime of the Century]] tells you that the people committing said crime (raping the universe) have gone from bad to worse.
* From the song 'Chuck Al Hashib', "and one day/without being provoked/he killed bob (and that ain't right)"
* The opening number of Batboy the Musical
---> ''They stripped him of his dignity,''
---> ''they beat him like a gong''
---> ''and he was kicked repeatadedly''
---> ''and that was wrong!''
* In Christy Moore's "Don't Forget Your Shovel", he rants briefly about the number of Irish migrants in London who will be unable to make it back home, and concludes, "I think that's terrible."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Stand Up Comedy]]
* Comedian Eugene Mirman often writes letters to companies he's mad at to read aloud on stage. A lot of the letters include a description of why he's mad, followed by "That's terrible." Things tend to get silly after that. ("Fleet Bank, you should be ashamed of all the things I made up that you would do.")
* Bob Saget reminds the audience of this several times regarding his own black/blue comedy in his his 'That Ain't Right' Stand-up tour.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Video Games]]
* In ''TheWitcher'', Salamandra attempts to [[DrugsAreBad gain control the drug trade]] at one point. Every non-addict (and even some of them as they are concerned about their supply) in game seems to think it is bad. This is silly because they already include murderers and rapists, both of whom net nowhere near the response by the game or {{NPC}}s. It is also unfitting for the entity of a [[GrayAndGreyMorality morally ambiguous]] WorldHalfEmpty to show universal contempt for anything, let alone something with legitimate arguments against it being outlawed. Not helped in the least by the [[{{Narm}} "dealing in death"]] line red shirt guards use during the quest.
* ''SuikodenTierkreis'' is rather heavy-handed in this. You're told three times that the Order is deeply messed-up within five minutes of first encountering it, and when you get to its capital city, the message becomes near-continuous until you leave. What makes it either better or worse is that they really are that bad--they're [[WarOnStraw strawman]] [[TheFatalist fatalists]] who make fundamental logical errors in their arguments, then use those arguments to justify attempts to violently TakeOverTheWorld.
* The ''[[TalesSeries Tales]]'' series loves this. Especially ''Abyss''. And ''Symphonia''. You'd think racism and genocide aren't apparently such a big deal in the worlds of the Tales universe, the way the main characters constantly have to denounce it.
* ''{{Warcraft}} III's'' [[AllThereInTheManual manual]]. The back stories of the species take pains to distinguish antagonists from protagonists with expressions like "the evil group of orcs" and the like.
** Except, since the orcs turn out not to be so evil after all, that's sort of subverted.
*** Well, they WERE totally evil in Warcraft 1 & 2. Like, "working for and possessed by demons" evil. 3 just finally blurred the lines a bit, as much by dragging down humans with Arthas as by lifting orcs up with Thrall. But with the latest expansion of WorldOfWarcraft they're finally playing with the morals again...
* This is Sigrun's entire role in ''DragonAge: Awakening'', when she's not smugly antagonizing Justice with her pickpocketing.
* DeadToRights: Jack just couldn't believe that the BigBad was interested in [[spoiler: the large amounts of gold ore under the city]].
* [[PokemonBlackAndWhite Pokémon Black]] (And presumable White) offers this gem. "He stole the pokémon and ran away so fast. And that's horrible because stealing other people's pokémon is really bad!"
* [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]] [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by [=GLaDOS=] in {{Portal2}} when she tries to confuse Wheatley.
--> '''[[EnemyMine GLaDOS]]''' ''(to Wheatley)'': What exactly is wrong with being adopted ? ''(to Chell)'' For the record, [[YouAreFat you are adopted]] [[AndThatsTerrible and that's terrible]], just work with me.

Children are not expected to know such things.
** ''SheRaPrincessOfPower'' had a very similar PSA at the end of one episode that said almost the same thing. Though very narmy, it actually prompted a few kids to confess to having been molested, so it did it's job.
* From ''{{Fairly Odd Parents}}'', ''Nectar of the Odds'':
-->'''Timmy:''' What do you mean I can't just make three tickets [to Crash Nebula on Ice] appear like magic?!
-->'''Wanda:''' Timmy, it's sold out! If we gave you three of the tickets, it means we'd be taking them away from somebody else who already has them!

* ''StaticShock'' plays this trope so straight it crosses over into SoBadItsGood territory on an episode dealing with the horrors of racism. No, really. ''Verbatim.''
-->'''Ritchie''': This is all your fault, Dad! You and your stupid racism!
* {{Futurama}} gives [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Zoidberg]] the wonderful "Your music is bad and you should feel bad!"
* ''[[CareBears Adventures in Care-a-Lot]]'' has the characters use a lot of [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry Feelings Talk]] to deliver the episode's {{aesop}}, so it's no wonder that [[HarmlessVillain Grizzle]] would get called out at least once in this manner.
-->"Well, what you did was bad! And wrong! [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And a lot of feelings got hurt.]]"
* As the second page quote shows, ''TheTick'' is really prone to doing this. What with his [[TheDitz mental state]], this is not particularly surprising.
* A rather [[{{Narm}} narmy]] version occurs in ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' in the series finale, when [[spoiler: Zuko]] finishes explaining what [[spoiler: Ozai]] is actually going to do. What it is is actually pretty terrifying, (What it is: [[spoiler: burning down the entire Earth Continent, plants and people alike]]), but then the ComicRelief character points out for our convenience:
--> '''Sokka''': I always knew he was bad, but this..... This is pure evil.
** To be fair, Sokka is also pointing out Ozai's wartime MoralEventHorizon. Before this, he was continuing a war that was passed down to him from his father and his father before him. Like Zuko, he could be considered an appeaseable king building an empire. Which is bad, yeah, but realistic. But committing [[spoiler: genocide against millions]]? That's just terrible.
* In an especially {{Anvilicious}} episode of ''{{A Pup Named Scooby Doo}}'', the gang discovers that the villain of the week is involved in drugs. Every time drugs are mentioned, Scooby says, without fail, "Drugs?! Yuck!"
* The DVD sets for ''TomAndJerry'' and ''LooneyTunes'' contain disclaimers (the former had unskippable speeches from Whoopie Goldberg) about some of the racist content of a few shorts, emphasizing that the racial humor was "wrong then and is wrong now", but is included on the DVD for the sake of historical preservation (though that ''still'' doesn't stop them from editing or outright excluding some shorts because of blackface gags and such).

* Message on A&W to-go cups:
-->"Why is there no ice in our drinks? Our soda fountains chill our drinks to the perfect temperature. Ice just melts and dilutes the taste. And that just won't do."
* Related to this trope: [[http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/wacky/black-cobra-gang-steal-cupcakes/story-e6frev20-1225841075058 Members of the Black Cobra gang stole one-hundred twenty boxes of cake in Denmark,]] and the meme's very existence worked against their reputation.
** They took 120 cakes. That's as many as twelve tens. And that's terrible.
* Armed forces network "commercials" regularly feature such obvious advice as "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufh3ALD_cB4 Never shake your baby!]]"
** [[RonWhite What if I can't find my keys, and I've looked everywhere?]]
* The Catholic Church's 2009 apology for the 19th century excommunication of Australian [[strike:nun]] Saint Mary [=MacKillop=] in revenge for reporting a paedophile priest: [[http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/09/25/3021772.htm "On behalf of myself and the archdiocese I apologise to the sisters, especially to the sisters for what happened to them in the context of the excommunication when their lives and their community life was interrupted and they were virtually thrown out on the streets and that this was a terrible thing."]]
* An MSNBC story ended with, "Now they will be without a grandmother, without a mother, and a man without a wife. And that's terrible."
* After Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi expressed admiration for Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina at the latter's 100th birthday party in 2002 and said he wished that Thurmond had been elected President in 1948, GeorgeWBush felt compelled to deliver an {{Anvilicious}} reminder that segregation was wrong.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZnzFVZ3_o Charles Barkley.]] And that's turrible.
* After learning how bad the Holocaust was while researching for her role ''{{Shining Through}}'', actress Melanie Griffith said in the ''New York Daily News'': "I didn't know that 6 million Jews were killed. That's a lot of people."
* At the end of Game 4 of the 2011 NBA 2nd round playoff series between the Lakers and Mavericks. The Lakers were about to be swept in 4 games and were clearly frustrated. Starting center Andrew Bynum threw a blatant elbow at Mavs guard J.J. Barea while in midair driving to the basket. Barea crumpled to the ground while Bynum was ejected and walked away to his locker room showing no remorse. ABC announcer Mike Tirico cried out "That is one of the biggest bush league things I've ever seen. That is TERRIBLE!" on the air during the aftermath.
* In Wiki/TVTropes, Tropers will say this as a reaction to things they disprove of and {{Pothole}} it to this page.
