He's got [[SpikesOfVillainy natural spikes on his shoulders and elbows]], an EvilLaugh, [[EvilIsHammy he's as hammy as they come]], and to top it all off, [[IncendiaryExponent his eyebrows are made of fire!]]
** Well he ''is'' MadeOfEvil. It's a bit hard to come off as benevolent when you're an EldritchAbomination of ChaoticEvil.
*** His [[BilingualBonus name]] is literally the Japanese word for 'evil'.
* King Koopa and the Koopa Pack in ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', due to its pastiche nature, offered most genres' worth of Obviously Evil design. Because it's a comedic show, though, the lowest {{mooks}} are occasionally given AffablyEvil moments when they think nobody is looking.
* The basis of ''{{WesternAnimation/Captain Planet|AndThePlaneteers}}''. The producers obviously believed that kids wouldn't be able to tell Exxon apart from Ecover, so they portrayed villain like this. Hoggish Greedly had a pig-face, Verminous Skumm looked like some kind of human/rat hybrid, Sly Sludge was short, fat, greasy, and overall unattractive, and Duke Nukem was made of some kind of glowing yellow bricks.
** Averted by Looten Plunder, who is proportionate and in good shape, if not downright good looking. Subverted by Dr. Blight, who other than the scarred half of her face, is a rather attractive woman. Zarm is a less-obvious example.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' once had a cigarette company taking over Peter's factory. They were pictured very true to the trope. ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' had some fun and reversed the standard roles, so the cigarette factory workers were a friendly bunch with no negative ambitions, while Rob Reiner's anti-tobacco activist group was Obviously Evil behind closed doors.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' manages to play this straight, {{subvert|edTrope}}, {{invert|edTrope}}, '''and''' {{lampshade|Hanging}} this trope with the strange tolerance [[CityOfAdventure Mainframe]] and its guardian Bob gives towards viruses. In the world of computers, viruses can't help but obey their evil programming, which is why [[TechnicalPacifist Bob doesn't like killing them]], but wishes to reprogram them. But the two viral strains in Mainframe are far too powerful for Bob to ever capture or control, and he won't call for help, so the city endures two years of chaos before it goes too far (and THAT'S ''before'' the series starts).
** ''Played Straight:'' Megabyte and Hexadecimal are ''destructive'' and look the part. Megs is in all secondary colors (and [[{{Expy}} looks suspiciously like]] ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}), Hex is red and black and both are riddled with SpikesOfVillainy, talons and sharp teeth. Bob ''really'' hopes to convert these two... Somehow... [[spoiler:Both manage AffablyEvil moments, but Megabyte's are just moments where there wasn't anything evil to do and Hexadecimal seems to get the excuse that she is mentally unstable and her HeelFaceTurn was more Bob really, really wanting to convert her than her deciding to do good.]]
** ''Inverted:'' The series biggest BigBad was a [[LightIsNotGood French-accented, brightly colored ingenue]] supervirus who's based off Joan of Arc.
** ''Lampshaded:'' "Maybe it's a benign virus..." The virus is ten feet tall, clawed and red-and-secondary-colored. "Oh, yeah! You can tell by ''looking'' at it!"
** ''Subverted:'' When Megabyte's brainwashed mooks go from secondary colors to normal, this is usually the cue that they are no longer evil. Not so, ''at all''.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' Skeletor: The man has a ''naked skull for a head'', people, the color scheme and creepy HQ are flat out ''redundant''.
** Subverted in [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 the 2002 show]] with the Speleans, a species of evil looking bat people that are actually quite friendly.
* In a flashback in the direct-to-DVD movie ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'', three muses are shown. One is dressed in a simple [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/muse01.png blue tunic]], another in a [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/muse02.png royal purple tunic]], and the third has an [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/muse03.png elaborate costume in muted shades of purple and red, with dark eyeshadow]]. Yeah, guess which one turns evil.
** Averted in the picture book, where Lydia is shown wearing a [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/barbiemusesTN.png white tunic]] in the flashback.
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Trigon the Terrible]] from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Not that he can help it, though, as he's a red, four-eyed demon the size of a skyscraper who doesn't care about labels pitiful mortals might give him. [[CardCarryingVillain The Brotherhood of Evil]], on the other hand, has no excuse. At least the Brotherhood of Evil didn't get weird like they do in the comics.
* Subverted by [[BigBad Tombstone]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. He's an EvilAlbino ScaryBlackMan with ''teeth he's apparently filed to fangs''... and he's ''still'' a VillainWithGoodPublicity. That, folks, is the sign of a true MagnificentBastard. If someone did say anything, he could just say the accuser was discriminating against him because of his looks. Overt prejudice isn't really the issue -- the UncannyValley is. Tombstone is freaky-looking and is every so often outright accused of being [[BigBad the Big Man]], but he's invested enough effort into his VillainWithGoodPublicity campaign that he's still accepted as a beloved pillar of the community, so much so that the police take ''his word over Spidey's'' on at least one occasion.

'''Marge''': Hmm... she's right, Homer. There's something about his face I don't trust.\\
[Burns stifles an evil chuckle while looking really malevolent]
** Or when Homer wants to sell Bart's elephant (ItsALongStory), Lisa again points out that the prospective buyer is not to be trusted:

--->'''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mr Blackheart]]:''' Little girl, I've been many things: Whale hunter, seal clubber, [[BitingTheHandHumor President of the Fox Network...]] and like most people, yeah, I've dealt a little ivory.
** There was also the time Reverend Lovejoy preached that "The Devil walks among us!" in one of his sermons. Bart leaps on a guy sitting in front of him who bears a resemblance to several traditional depictions of Satan proclaiming "I got him!"
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' gives us [[LouisCypher Lucius Henious VII]], who is red with horns. [[MadScientist Heloise]] wears a blood red dress and has [[ScarsAreForever a scar on her forehead]].
* From ''{{Thundercats}}'', the ghastly wizened mummified warlock Mumm-Ra. Quite scary transformation, also.
** In Chile, the [[{{Phlegmings}} saliva strings attached to an open mouth]] are often called "The Mumm-Ra".
* Most ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' villains are ''really'' unsubtle in their constant [[KickTheDog dog kicking]], their blatantly selfish, malevolent motives, and their choices of wardrobe and lighting. For instance, Dr. Ashida in "The Dragons of Ashida" is such an arrogantly megalomaniacal [[EvilLaugh cackling]] YellowPeril MadScientist that he makes the series' BigBad, Dr. Zin, seem AffablyEvil and restrained by comparison.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Vlad Masters]]. Fittingly, his ghost form looks like Dracula.
* Lord Darkar, the BigBad of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', is what he says about himself: "Fists of iron, eyes of fire, and wit as sharp as a sword." He's ChaoticEvil, his armor is based off of a skeletal phoenix, and his name suits him well as he is a being of darkness, making it a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Name to Run Away From Really Fast]]. He's got SpikesOfVillainy, an EvilLaugh, BlackEyesOfEvil, VillainousCheekbones, and [[DarkIsEvil dark magic]]. He has quite a scary transformation, too. His profile even suggests that his helmet can pull up to reveal his terrible face.
* Shows up a number of times in ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d a few times, such as in "Ricardio the Heart Guy" and "Wizard".
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' plays this straight with [[FallenAngel Nightmare]] [[MadGod Moon]], but averts this with the arguably [[ForTheEvulz worse]] [[GodOfEvil Discord]].
** Also played straight with the villains of the season 2 finale, Queen Chrysalis and the changeling army, which all look like some kind of freaky horse-insect-demon hybrid, complete with monochromatic eyes, sharp fangs, and jet-black bodies. Chrysalis' obviously evil personality [[spoiler:can also be seen in her disguise, though it doesn't help that said disguise is supposed to act like the opposite of her]].
** Both of them are topped by the villain of the season 3 premiere, King Sombra, who is essentially the pony equivalent of Sauron.
** Lord Tirek in the season 4 finale makes all the above examples look like diabolical masters of subtlety. [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Red and Black Color Scheme]]? Check. {{Black Eyes|OfEvil}} with [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing yellow pupils?]] Check. [[EvilSoundsRaspy Raspy voice]] that becomes a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, growling voice]] the more powerful he gets? Check. [[EvilIsBurningHot Fire-based Magic]]? Check. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Sees Friendship as a form of slavery?]] Check. Tirek is so blatantly obvious in his villainy its surprising to know the only thing he's missing is an EvilLaugh.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Monsuno}}'' has the [[TheSyndicate Eklipse]] organisation; it's led by [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr]] [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Emmanuel Klipse]], a MadScientist dressed in [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black]] with a BeardOfEvil, a FauxAffablyEvil attitude, and the Monsunos he produces and sells are [[GoodColorsEvilColors red]]. He is so obviously evil that even when he shows up and offers a deal to the protagonists, they are immediately aware they shouldn't trust him.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated''
** Played with [[spoiler: Mayor Jones]]. Even before being revealed as the BigBad of season one, he is clearly an amoral {{Jerkass}}, fulfilling this trope in hindsight.
** PlayedForLaughs in the episode "The Gathering Gloom", where Velma ''immediately'' identifies the creepy gravedigger, [[AristocratsAreEvil Count]] [[MeaningfulName Evallo Von Meanskrieg]], as the Graveyard Ghoul that's been terrorizing people, but no one believes her because it seems too obvious. This is a guy whose aptitude test actually shows he's pure evil, and is prone to muttering, "''(mumble mumble) evil and what-not."
-->'''Velma:''' Guys? Guys! You see that? He's ''growling'' at me! Actually growling.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaijudo}}: Rise of the Duel Masters'' seems to have a liking for playing with this trope. The [[BigBad Choten]] is a blonde, long-haired guy dressed costume, specialized in Water Creatures, with a rather AffablyEvil attitude, while his [[TheDragon Dragon]], [[DarkActionGirl Alakshmi]], is a [[DarkSkinnedBlond dark-skinned]], white-haired woman with a strong tendencies to {{Psychotic Smirk}}s and trained in using [[DarkIsEvil Darkness Creatures]], her favourite being [[PerversePuppet Razorkinder Puppet]]. As the show goes on, it's made quite clear that the real Monster is the Choten, while Alakshmi (though not exactly nice herself) is a more [[JerkassWoobie sympathetic]] AntiVillain.
* ''WesternAnimation/WhoKilledWho'': As a gag, when the detective pushes a button marked 'RING BELL FOR SUSPECTS', the butler, maid, and chauffeur come in, and they all look rather sinister. It then turns out that they're actually pretty cheerful.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' "The Lich" (Formally The Lich King before fear of being sued by [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Blizzard]]) there is nothing subtle at all with his appearance. (Dark hood, horns, skeletal body with flesh still hanging off) even the creator's pre-production notes state in large letters "THE LICH KING ISN'T FUNNY!"
* Completely lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', when Buzz's best friend and closest teammate, Warp Darkmatter goes rogue and joins Emperor Zurg. When asked about his betrayal he says along the lines of 'Wasn't it obvious? My name is "Darkmatter" '
* ''WesternAnimation/IvanhoeTheKingsKnight'' features one of its Norman villains Philip de Malvoisin as a pale-skinned, black haired man. There is no one else, Norman or otherwise, with such a look and he looks genuinely sinister.
* ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' had [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Marvin McNasty]]. A cackling, purple suited, sharp toothed man who looks like the lovechild of [[Film/{{Nosferatu}} Renfield]] and [[Film/BatmanReturns the Penguin]]? [[SarcasmMode Nah, nothing suspicious about him!]]
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'': Chancellor Palpatine secretly being EvilAllAlong was [[CaptainObviousReveal never that much of a surprise to begin with]], but in the film series, he at least kept up the appearance of being a kindly old man when not in his Darth Sidious persona. Here, he's given a much more openly villainous design, with large, dark shadows around his eyes and a tendency to [[FingerTenting Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]]. He frequently plays an ObstructiveBureaucrat and has a fondness for [[KickTheDog Kicking Dogs]] even when there is no real benefit to doing so.
* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' in regards to Zuko. He starts out as the heroes' first antagonist who's [[BaldOfEvil bald]], [[RedRightHand scarred]], and clothed in the [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black colors]] of the [[TheEmpire Fire Nation]]. However, it becomes clear after several episodes that he's actually a [[AntiVillain rather sympathetic antagonist]] with an incredibly sad backstory of how he got scarred and [[spoiler:he eventually does a HeelFaceTurn]].
* [[EvilChancellor Councilor Zottornick]] from ''WesternAnimation/PrincessSissi'' has a pale scrawny face, is [[BaldOfEvil bald]] and has a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep sounding voice]]. With him looking like that, one should really wonder why Empress Sophia trusts him so blindly. [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/princess-sissi/images/5/5c/Councillor_Zottornick.png/revision/latest?cb=20130817092650 He really looks like a trustworthy person, don't you think?]]
----
* WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack's enemy Aku, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Shapeshifting Master of Darkness]], is about as obviously evil as they come. He's got [[SpikesOfVillainy natural spikes on his shoulders and elbows]], an EvilLaugh, [[EvilIsHammy he's as hammy as they come]], and to top it all off, [[IncendiaryExponent his eyebrows are made of fire!]]
** Well he ''is'' MadeOfEvil. It's a bit hard to come off as benevolent when you're an EldritchAbomination of ChaoticEvil.
*** His [[BilingualBonus name]] is literally the Japanese word for 'evil'.
* King Koopa and the Koopa Pack in ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', due to its pastiche nature, offered most genres' worth of Obviously Evil design. Because it's a comedic show, though, the lowest {{mooks}} are occasionally given AffablyEvil moments when they think nobody is looking.
* The basis of ''{{WesternAnimation/Captain Planet|AndThePlaneteers}}''. The producers obviously believed that kids wouldn't be able to tell Exxon apart from Ecover, so they portrayed villain like this. Hoggish Greedly had a pig-face, Verminous Skumm looked like some kind of human/rat hybrid, Sly Sludge was short, fat, greasy, and overall unattractive, and Duke Nukem was made of some kind of glowing yellow bricks.
** Averted by Looten Plunder, who is proportionate and in good shape, if not downright good looking. Subverted by Dr. Blight, who other than the scarred half of her face, is a rather attractive woman. Zarm is a less-obvious example.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' once had a cigarette company taking over Peter's factory. They were pictured very true to the trope. ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' had some fun and reversed the standard roles, so the cigarette factory workers were a friendly bunch with no negative ambitions, while Rob Reiner's anti-tobacco activist group was Obviously Evil behind closed doors.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' manages to play this straight, {{subvert|edTrope}}, {{invert|edTrope}}, '''and''' {{lampshade|Hanging}} this trope with the strange tolerance [[CityOfAdventure Mainframe]] and its guardian Bob gives towards viruses. In the world of computers, viruses can't help but obey their evil programming, which is why [[TechnicalPacifist Bob doesn't like killing them]], but wishes to reprogram them. But the two viral strains in Mainframe are far too powerful for Bob to ever capture or control, and he won't call for help, so the city endures two years of chaos before it goes too far (and THAT'S ''before'' the series starts).
** ''Played Straight:'' Megabyte and Hexadecimal are ''destructive'' and look the part. Megs is in all secondary colors (and [[{{Expy}} looks suspiciously like]] ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}), Hex is red and black and both are riddled with SpikesOfVillainy, talons and sharp teeth. Bob ''really'' hopes to convert these two... Somehow... [[spoiler:Both manage AffablyEvil moments, but Megabyte's are just moments where there wasn't anything evil to do and Hexadecimal seems to get the excuse that she is mentally unstable and her HeelFaceTurn was more Bob really, really wanting to convert her than her deciding to do good.]]
** ''Inverted:'' The series biggest BigBad was a [[LightIsNotGood French-accented, brightly colored ingenue]] supervirus who's based off Joan of Arc.
** ''Lampshaded:'' "Maybe it's a benign virus..." The virus is ten feet tall, clawed and red-and-secondary-colored. "Oh, yeah! You can tell by ''looking'' at it!"
** ''Subverted:'' When Megabyte's brainwashed mooks go from secondary colors to normal, this is usually the cue that they are no longer evil. Not so, ''at all''.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' Skeletor: The man has a ''naked skull for a head'', people, the color scheme and creepy HQ are flat out ''redundant''.
** Subverted in [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2002 the 2002 show]] with the Speleans, a species of evil looking bat people that are actually quite friendly.
* In a flashback in the direct-to-DVD movie ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'', three muses are shown. One is dressed in a simple [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/muse01.png blue tunic]], another in a [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/muse02.png royal purple tunic]], and the third has an [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/muse03.png elaborate costume in muted shades of purple and red, with dark eyeshadow]]. Yeah, guess which one turns evil.
** Averted in the picture book, where Lydia is shown wearing a [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/evalana/barbiemusesTN.png white tunic]] in the flashback.
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Trigon the Terrible]] from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Not that he can help it, though, as he's a red, four-eyed demon the size of a skyscraper who doesn't care about labels pitiful mortals might give him. [[CardCarryingVillain The Brotherhood of Evil]], on the other hand, has no excuse. At least the Brotherhood of Evil didn't get weird like they do in the comics.
* Subverted by [[BigBad Tombstone]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan''. He's an EvilAlbino ScaryBlackMan with ''teeth he's apparently filed to fangs''... and he's ''still'' a VillainWithGoodPublicity. That, folks, is the sign of a true MagnificentBastard. If someone did say anything, he could just say the accuser was discriminating against him because of his looks. Overt prejudice isn't really the issue -- the UncannyValley is. Tombstone is freaky-looking and is every so often outright accused of being [[BigBad the Big Man]], but he's invested enough effort into his VillainWithGoodPublicity campaign that he's still accepted as a beloved pillar of the community, so much so that the police take ''his word over Spidey's'' on at least one occasion.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' gives an example of this concerning Mr. Burns's bid to buy Santa Little Helper's brood.
-->'''Lisa''': [whispering] Mom, don't give the puppies to him, he'll be mean to them.\\
'''Marge''': Hmm... she's right, Homer. There's something about his face I don't trust.\\
[Burns stifles an evil chuckle while looking really malevolent]
** Or when Homer wants to sell Bart's elephant (ItsALongStory), Lisa again points out that the prospective buyer is not to be trusted:
--->'''Lisa:''' I'm pretty sure this guy is an ivory dealer. His hat is ivory, his boots are ivory, and I'm pretty sure that check is ivory!
