History MoralityChain / WesternAnimation

* [[Characters/AdventureTimeFinn Finn]] is the protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', but it's strongly implied that he's also the Morality Chain to several different people. It gradually becomes apparent that without him [[Characters/AdventureTimePrincessBubblegum Princess Bubblegum]] would be much more of a TotalitarianUtilitarian, Marceline would actually be the psychopathic troll that she likes to depict herself as, Jake would be an even worse KleptomaniacHero, and Ice King would be doing a lot worse to Princesses than just trying to kidnap them occasionally. At least until their own character development kicks in.
* Darwin from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' fills this role in the dynamic for him and Gumball, as he's often a StraightMan to Gumball's antics. Gumball said it best in the episode "The Sidekick"; he's not his sidekick: he's more of a guardian.

* A scene at the end of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'' suggests that ComicBook/TheJoker was an [[InvertedTrope Anti-Morality Chain]] for [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Harley Quinn]]. ''Return of the Joker'' shows that the Joker was killed and Harley presumed dead; [[NeverFoundTheBody of course she wasn't]], and reappears to scold her twin granddaughters for joining the Jokerz gang.
* Lydia is both this and the KidWithTheLeash for WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Castlevania2017'', Dracula falls in love with the human Lisa who aspires to be a doctor. After the Church has her burned at the stake for "witchcraft", Dracula summons an army from Hell to KillAllHumans. More than once, Dracula called his wife the ''one'' thing that made him tolerate humanity.

* On ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' [[NiceGuy sweet]] [[{{Pollyanna}} optimistic Jimmy]] is this to the sadistic [[MadScientist girl genius]] [[EnfantTerrible Heloise]], who has a crush on him. There's "[[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan something about sweet, innocent guys that appeals to the last shred of humanity in her]]" it seems. However, she's still a terrible person who only barely tolerates Beezy and Cerbee for Jimmy's sake, and while she's more than willing to act nice in his presence, even her beloved isn't safe from her rage and experiments.
* Lampshaded in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]''. When the original seven heroes discuss their worries [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope over sliding down the slippery totalitarian slope]] like their BadFuture counterparts, Flash cheerfully points out that he's the team's Morality Chain, so all they've got to do is make sure [[SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld he stays alive]] and everything's cool. The rest of the team is not impressed. [[spoiler:He turns out to be 100% right. A later episode showcases an AlternateUniverse in which Flash died at the hands of Lex Luthor, and the main heroes kill him and become the ruthless Justice Lords in response.]]

* Dale is this for Nancy in ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', most clearly shown in the episode "Nancy Does Dallas". While she's not exactly [[BitchInSheepsClothing a good person]], Dale's antics usually distract her enough to keep her backstabbing, ruthless nature in check.
-->'''Peggy:''' Dale and all his nonsense keeps Nancy so busy, she doesn't have the time or energy to be like she was in Dallas.
-->'''Hank:''' So Nancy needs Dale more than Dale needs Nancy. Huh. [[UglyGuyHotWife Weird.]]
* [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicDiscord Discord]], from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has one from Season 3 onwards in the form of [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicFluttershy Fluttershy]], who, after she [[MoralityPet reformed him]] by [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe befriending him]], threatens to revoke her friendship with him to get him back on course if he seems to be going too far. It extends so far that when everyone save Discord, [[HeelFaceTurn Starlight Glimmer]], [[LargeHam Trixie]] and [[DefectorFromDecadence Thorax]] is captured by the changelings, the one pony Discord wants to save is Fluttershy.

* Chuckie is this to Tommy, Phil, and Lil on occasion in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', particularly when they are being led astray by Angelica. In "Rebel Without a Teddy Bear" Chuckie's vocal intervention is the only thing that keeps Tommy from becoming as much of a mean-spirited hellion as Angelica.

* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', [[Characters/SouthParkEricCartman Eric Cartman]] is an EnfanteTerrible for the ages--a [[TheChessmaster scheming]], [[DeliberateValuesDissonance racist]], [[HeManWomanHater sexist]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who seemingly makes it his life's work to antagonize and torment everyone in his path [[ItAmusedMe because he finds it funny.]] Among the main four characters (and even in the whole school), he's clearly TheFriendNobodyLikes--except in one case: [[Characters/SouthParkKennyMcCormick Kenny McCormick]], who actually treats Cartman nicely from time to time; in return, Cartman will occasionally muster up whatever tiny amount of kindness he can toward Kenny, such as being the one to gently break the news about his [[ReallyGetsAround freewheeling girlfriend]] in "The Ring." It's [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in that Eric still mocks and torments Kenny when he gets the chance, but the two have a genuine bond that keeps Cartman from going completely off the rails (notably, his rise to outright villainy coincided with Kenny's role in the show gradually being reduced).
* [[Characters/StarWarsAhsokaTano Ahsoka Tano]] can be seen as this to [[Characters/StarWarsAnakinSkywalker Anakin Skywalker]] in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' in addition to Obi-Wan and Padmé. Having her as his padawan teaches Anakin some responsibility and she helps to reign in Anakin's rashness and bold tendencies when Obi-Wan is not around. At the same time, it's also shown it's during moments when she's in the most danger that Anakin comes the closest to using the Dark Side in his efforts to keep her safe. [[spoiler:Her being framed for a crime she didn't commit and eventually leaving the Jedi Order just helps push him faster down the dark path as shown in ''Revenge of the Sith'', and even as Darth Vader he still has more compassion for her than almost anyone else save for Luke himself, given how he offered to spare her life in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' if she gave him information on any remaining Jedi and even hesitated during their fight. In the final scene of ''Clone Wars'' Vader finds one of the corroded lightsabers she left behind at the Star Destroyer crash site and keeps it]].
* Sugilite of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is a fusion of [[Characters/StevenUniverseGarnet Garnet]] and [[Characters/StevenUniverseAmethyst Amethyst]], so the end result is incredibly powerful... and completely out of control, as she has Garnet's pride and Amethyst's wild nature. Nevertheless, she is still a fusion of Gems who deeply care about [[Characters/StevenUniverseStevenQuartzUniverse Steven Quartz Universe]] himself, so she's surprisingly rather chill with him.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', Lois Lane ends up in a [[AlternateUniverse parallel universe]], where her double was killed by a car bomb. While in her own reality, Superman got there just in time to save her, this world's Superman failed and has never forgiven himself. Since then, he has become much less forgiving to criminals and abandoned his "no killing" rule, blasting any criminal he sees with his EyeBeams. When Lois encounters this version of Superman, he no longer wears the [[http://images.wikia.com/dcanimated/images/0/0f/Brave_New_Metropolis.png same uniform]] and appears to be working with ComicBook/LexLuthor. She manages to set him right, though. [[ExpendableAlternateUniverse Of course, she goes back to her own universe at the end of the episode, which means the other Superman is once again without a]] Morality Chain.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', Starfire is thrown into a temporal vortex in the episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS2E1HowLongIsForever How Long Is Forever?]]". She lands in a world where she's been lost for ''several years'', and it turns out that [[spoiler: the Titans were so [[LosingTheTeamSpirit dispirited and sad after her disappearance,]] that they have been disbanded and haven't seen each other for ''years''. BB is a freak show in a circus, Raven went the [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy maddened into misanthropy way]], Cyborg has spent years alone in the remains of the Titans Tower, and only Robin (now ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}) remains as a crimefighter]].
** Also, [[spoiler: Starfire was actually very near a DespairEventHorizon of her own prior to bumping into Nightwing. That gives her the courage to keep fighting, which ultimately lets her return home and to her own time and avert this BadFuture.]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', [[Characters/SouthParkEricCartman Eric Cartman] is an EnfanteTerrible for the ages--a [[TheChessmaster scheming]], [[DeliberateValuesDissonance racist]], [[HeManWomanHater sexist]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who seemingly makes it his life's work to antagonize and torment everyone in his path [[ItAmusedMe because he finds it funny.]] Among the main four characters (and even in the whole school), he's clearly TheFriendNobodyLikes--except in one case: [[Characters/SouthParkKennyMcCormick Kenny McCormick]], who actually treats Cartman nicely from time to time; in return, Cartman will occasionally muster up whatever tiny amount of kindness he can toward Kenny, such as being the one to gently break the news about his [[ReallyGetsAround freewheeling girlfriend]] in "The Ring."

At least until their own character development kicks in.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': Poison Ivy as a WellIntentionedExtremist {{Ecoterrorist}} keeps the more outright villainous Harley from going off the deep end. When she and Harley are avoiding each other after [[spoiler:their awkward kiss]], Psycho talks Harley into [[spoiler:pledging herself to Darkseid for a Parademon army]]. Harley gets cold feet and backs out of it as soon as Ivy shows up and questions whether she really wants to go through with it.

* [[MadGod Discord]], from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has one from Season 3 onwards in the form of [[FriendToAllLivingThings Fluttershy]], who, after she [[MoralityPet reformed him]] by [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe befriending him]], threatens to revoke her friendship with him to get him back on course if he seems to be going too far. It extends so far that when everyone save Discord, [[HeelFaceTurn Starlight Glimmer]], [[LargeHam Trixie]] and [[DefectorFromDecadence Thorax]] is captured by the changelings, the one pony Discord wants to save is Fluttershy.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', Starfire is thrown into a temporal vortex in the episode "How Long Is Forever?". She lands in a world where she's been lost for ''several years'', and it turns out that [[spoiler: the Titans were so [[LosingTheTeamSpirit dispirited and sad after her disappearance,]] that they have been disbanded and haven't seen each other for ''years''. BB is a freak show in a circus, Raven went the [[MaddenIntoMisanthropy maddened into misanthropy way]], Cyborg has spent years alone in the remains of the Titans Tower, and only Robin (now ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}) remains as a crimefighter]].

** In "Fearful Symmetry", ComicBook/TheQuestion concludes that [[CloningBlues Galatea]] wants the original Supergirl dead because their PsychicLink works both ways. While Supergirl was beginning to fear she was a killer, Galatea was developing a conscience as a result of her 'dreams' of her counterpart. To test this, Question challenges Galatea to kill him. While Supergirl's intervention prevents us from getting a clear answer, Galatea's moment of hesitation is the one example we get of her having any reluctance to kill.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'':

* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited''. When the original seven heroes discuss their worries [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope over sliding down the slippery totalitarian slope]] like their BadFuture counterparts, Flash cheerfully points out that he's the team's Morality Chain, so all they've got to do is make sure [[SaveThisPersonSaveTheWorld he stays alive]] and everything's cool. The rest of the team is not impressed. [[spoiler:He turns out to be 100% right. A later episode showcases an AlternateUniverse in which Flash died at the hands of Lex Luthor, and the main heroes kill him and become the ruthless Justice Lords in response.]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' it's implied that the [[NiceGuy sweet]] [[{{Pollyanna}} optimistic Jimmy]] is this to the sadistic [[MadScientist girl genius]] [[EnfantTerrible Heloise]] considering that she has a crush on him, only acts nice around him, and (barely) tolerates Beezy and Cerbee because of Jimmy. (Although even Jimmy is not safe from her rage and wrath at times). It's also been stated that the main reason she fell for him is because there's "[[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan something about sweet, innocent guys that appeals to the last shred of humanity in her]]". Suffice to say, if Jimmy were to disappear somehow Heloise would probably immediately revert from ChaoticNeutral to ChaoticEvil, have ''no'' reason to be nice to ''anyone'' at all, and lose that last shred of human compassion she has that she only brings out around Jimmy.

** Further, the [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters drastic expansion]] of the League was partly this; when Green Arrow just about leads a coup against the founding-seven because a large number of the members felt they were starting to abuse their powers (not to mention that they just revealed the Watchtower doubled as a KillSat), they're ''thanked''. They're reminded that half the reason that the more BadassNormal and street-level heroes are there is to keep the borderline-PhysicalGod heroes in check; Batman wanted Green Arrow on the League specifically because he was a talented hero who could fulfill this role perfectly.

** Batman wanted Green Arrow on the League specifically because he would help the main seven and more powerful members to remain grounded.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' gives this trope a dark twist in the episode "Secrets:" the psychopathic villain Harm realized that [[spoiler:his sister Greta]] was the only person keeping him from being "[[PureIsNotGood pure]]," and [[spoiler:murdered her]].

* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' plays this trope straight with [[spoiler:Destructor]]. His morality chain is [[spoiler:a sock puppet. His father threw it away at a young age so he turned evil and imprisoned everyone]]. Presumably years later, Wander and Sylvia [[spoiler:return the sock and he immediately releases everyone and makes them dukes in his kingdom]].
