History OhCrap / WesternAnimation

** The greatest example possibly comes in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'', when the time-traveling villain Chronos sends one of the Jokerz back to the time of the dinosaurs for betraying him:

** From "Hereafter":

** At the very end of "Secret Society", we are treated to a gorilla's OhCrap face after Grodd attempts to use his psychic attack on Superman, who manages to resist enough to [[FingerPokeOfDoom flick Grodd in the nose, sending him flying]]. A little earlier, Shade had one on as Superman, in the blink of an eye, interposed between his fist and Batman.
** There's a pretty priceless one early on when ComicBook/LexLuthor is informed that while humans are mostly unaffected by Kryptonite, studies have shown that it can cause blood poisoning in terrestrial life if the subject is exposed for a long period of time. Lex happens to carry some around in his pocket.
** Luthor tops himself in the episode "Alive!", part 1 of the series finale. His change of expression from exultant triumph to shock and horror when [[spoiler:he resurrects ''Darkseid'' instead of Brainiac]] is just epic.
** Luthor has another classic moment of dismay after AMAZO copies ComicBook/MartianManhunter's abilities (which include {{telepathy}}) and tells Luthor, "So, you ''lied'' to me...".
** At the end of the episode "This Little Piggy", when ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} is magically tossing things at Circe:

** In the episode "Ultimatum", Giganta gets Bizarro to distract Wonder Woman while she goes to free Grodd. On her way to his cell she runs into a tiny Long Shadow blocking her way:

** A brief (non-combat) one from the first part of the above-mentioned Chronos episode: Green Lantern and Batman are sitting in the cafeteria discussing their respective love lives; Batman is explaining that Wonder Woman [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend is not his girlfriend]].

** From the ''JLU'' episode "Grudge Match". Hawkgirl, Vixen, Black Canary, and Huntress, four of the toughest women in the League, have just shrugged off the mind control forcing them to fight each other. They stand ready to face the villain... who brings out a mind-controlled Franchise/WonderWoman. Four to one odds and they're still in big trouble.

** This one takes most of the episode "Far From Home" to set up. Supergirl, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern are abducted to the 31th Century by Brainiac 5, who is nearly clobbered by Supergirl before he can explain that he's a ''good'' guy, unlike that OTHER Brainiac. The two eventually hit it off.\\\

** GA and his ex-sidek--err, ''partner'', Speedy, get one when their [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Quantum Arrows]] hit super-soldier Eiling in the chest, cause a colossal explosion, and...[[NoSell don't even faze him]]. Their eyes, masks and all, show the fear that [[CasualDangerDialogue their voices don't]].

** "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS2E4TaskForceX Task Force X]]": BadassNormal supervillain Plastique has three moments like this, like being asked what will she do if facing Superman, seeing [[UncomfortableElevatorMoment Green Lantern use her elevator]] or [[RightBehindMe hearing Captain Atom chastise her unladylike manners]].

-->'''Captain Planet:''' By your powers combined...\\

** This is the typical reaction by the others whenever Gadget uses the words "Should" or "No Problems" in reference to whether one of her inventions will work. A spectacular failure inevitably follows immediately after.

** In "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS2E23HateCanal Hate Canal]]", Skumm is irritated when Captain Planet shows up...and then he realizes that the captain just redirected the torpedoes he shot into Venice's canals back at his lair. He goes wide-eyed and bolts for the exit.

** "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E58TilNephewsDoUsPart Til Nephews Do Us Part]]": After Millionara Vanderbucks loses Scrooge and Flintheart consoles her, he gets this when she asks if there's a "MRS. Second Richest Duck in Duckberg."

** "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS2E1MindPollution Mind Pollution]]" gives two to Verminous Skumm: Skumm starts a TakeOverTheWorld plot using a designer drug called Bliss, even getting Linka hooked using contaminated food to prevent Captain Planet from interfering. When the team manages to summon him anyway, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the normally jovial superhero]] goes into TranquilFury mode as he [[ThisIsUnforgivable calls Skumm out on how low his scheme]] ''[[ThisIsUnforgivable du jour]]'' [[ThisIsUnforgivable was]] and says he should dose him with his own drug. Skumm immediately shifts from smug to alarmed as he begs the Captain not to make him an addict. (He doesn't.) Then, after Skumm's defeat, he eats a piece of cheese and then realizes the cheese he ate had a Bliss pill in it, and crawls over to the river to see that sure enough, he's undergoing its effects.

* in one early episode of ''WesternAnimation/XMen'', the Master Mold attempts to escape from his manufacturing factory when he hears the roar of the river Cable just let loose from a dam. However, he stops and realizes his left foot is still hooked up, letting his last words before the water washes it and the other Sentinels away being "I AM STILL PLUGGED IN!"

* In the ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' Season 2 finale, all good guys present in Realix had this reaction when [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Bloom]] ignored Sky and continued to give [[BigBad Darkar]] the Ultimate Power.

* ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'': [[TeenGenius Varian]] has one in [[spoiler:Cassandra’s Revenge]] when he realizes [[spoiler:Cassandra is going to kidnap him to get the Third Incantation out of him]].

** [[spoiler: After doing everything in his power to prevent it, Megatron fails to keep Optimus Prime from obtaining the Star Saber, a legendary weapon that can only be used by a Prime. Prime uses the sword to not only cleave in two a mountain that was just dropped on him, but to fire a SwordBeam at the Decepticon warship. Megatron's reaction is less than positive, as he calls this the Decepticons' darkest hour.]]

** The episode "Patch" has quite a few:

** While taking on the predacon, Wheeljack tosses an active grenade towards its mouth, expecting it to swallow it, only for the beast to quickly swat it away and have it bounce around the cave until it lands right near the incapacitated Bulkhead and Ultra Magnus. Wheeljack's face while this is happening clearly show that he wasn't expecting that.

* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' finally gets in on the action. [[spoiler: After doing everything in his power to prevent it, Megatron fails to keep Optimus Prime from obtaining the Star Saber, a legendary weapon that can only be used by a Prime.

--->'''Brainiac:''' Kal-El. This development was highly improbable.

--> '''Sandy''': ......[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Ohhhhhh.]] This is his tongue and the...[[ExplainExplainOhCrap whole cave is the...worm.]] (''{{Beat}}'') '''''RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!'''''

** Squidward in "I Was A Teenage Gary" after he is injected with the snail plasma through his nose.
-->'''Squidward:''' Uh-oh!

-->'''Wonder Girl:''' Listen, uh, Black Beetle. You're totally outnumbered. Open those doors now and we'll go easy on you!\\
