History Main / SugarApocalypse

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', a sleepy, eccentric town populated by kooky and (for the most part) well-intentioned citizens...[[spoiler:destined to be the site of the apocalypse.]] The darkness begins to set in at the beginning of Season 2, cumulating in [[spoiler:WhamEpisode "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", which ends with the sky opening up and demons pouring out]].

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyRescueAtMidnightCastle'', the pilot special for the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' series. It starts off with the cutesy sweetness usually associated with the franchise, then reptilian monsters come out of the sky and snatch up ponies to be turned into the dragon-like servants of a demon-centaur named Tirac. ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'' had some evil witches unleash [[BlobMonster The Smooze]] on Dream Valley, and several episodes of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' had Ponyland being threatened with danger, such as the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName chauvinistic penguins]] from "Baby It's Cold Outside" and the magic-stealing Lavan from "Quest of the Princess Ponies".

** "Weirdmageddon Part 2: Escape From Reality," the second part of the show's finale. [[spoiler: Bill traps Mabel in a [[LotusEaterMachine world of all the things she likes,]] which makes it sickeningly bright and cutesy with the same 80s song looping over and over. When Mabel agrees to go back to the real world, it transforms into a [[CrapsaccharineWorld hellscape worthy of Bill.]] ]]

--> '''Boy''': "''No mom, I think he said-''"

** In one segment, the ''Franchise/CareBears'' [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything decide to purify their land]] by massacring the Care Bear Cousins. The Great Cloudkeeper in the Sky, incensed by their barbarity, punishes them by turning Care-a-Lot into a Hell on Earth: [[TakeThat New Jersey]].

*** In "Magic Duel," another, [[spoiler: Ponyville-localized]] instance of this trope is enacted by [[spoiler: [[TheMagnificent the]] [[SmallNameBigEgo Great]] [[ItsAllAboutMe and]] [[AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter Powerful]] [[ThirdPersonPerson Trixie]], who has acquired a relic called the Alicorn Amulet, which enhances her magic to [[PhysicalGod godlike]] levels. She quickly defeats Twilight in a WizardDuel, banishes her from town, and converts Ponyville into her own private fascist state. The reason she takes her quest for revenge so far is because, unbeknownst to her, the Amulet also an ArtifactOfDoom that is corrupting her the more she keeps using it.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' -- Uses the trope to exhaustion. Serial-killing Smurfs, genocidal Franchise/CareBears, bitter WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake, etc. And the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse in the form of ''Franchise/MyLittlePony''.

--> '''Woman''': "Oh, how sad! The poor thing can't hear."

** In one segment the ''Franchise/CareBears'' [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything decide to purify their land]] by massacring the Care Bear Cousins. The Great Cloudkeeper in the Sky, incensed by their barbarity, punishes them by turning Care-a-Lot into a Hell on Earth: [[TakeThat New Jersey]].

* ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'': Inverted in ''The Beginning of Rainbow Land'' when you find out that [[SugarBowl Rainbow Land]] was originally a lifeless wasteland.
