* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'': Space Ghost took this one step further. The [[InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers body snatcher pods]] arrived, and he screamed once. Trying to leave the building, he finds it's been covered by TheBlob; another scream. Then, he flies back into the studio and babbles incoherently ''in a little girl's voice'' before clearing his throat.

* Occasionally a character in ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' would scream like this. Depending on the situation, they would either have BillyWest or Creator/JohnKricfalusi do it themselves, or dub in an inappropriate female StockScream. Lampshaded once, where Stimpy actually ''says'' "Scream like a girl!" while doing so.

* In ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials Garfield's Halloween Special]]'', Garfield and Odie both scream like this during the song "Scaredy Cat", whenever they come across a trick-or-treater who is not what it appears to be. This doubles as HypocriticalHumor, because just before making the discovery, Garfield continuously sings that he may be a lot of things, "but the one thing I'm not is a scaredy cat."

** The episode where Spike the bulldog screams like a woman, after seeing Tom's fake dog-mask walk away on its own with Jerry underneath (because he thinks it's a real head), deserves special mention.
** Parodied in the Tex Avery short ''WhoKilledWho''; the detective does a girly scream upon meeting the killer face-to-face... but first he uses a small pitch-pipe to find the correct octave.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o15_JL2Ba0g Ned]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3OpgwpgqXA&feature=related Flanders]] sometimes screams like this.

* Mr. Turner from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' is pretty prone to this trope.

** Stimpy can pull off a ''very'' good one in the German dub.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', Dean Venture screams like a girl in the episode "Love Bheits", prompting a eunuch to quip "I'm fixed, what's your excuse?"
* WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'s scream has, on occasion, sounded exactly like a little girl.
* The earl of Lemongrab of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' doesn't scream like a little girl, so much as he screams like a schizophrenic woman on her menstrual cycle. Okay... He screams like that pretty often, due to his high, uber-puberty voice.
* When Creator/{{Disney}} [[ChannelHop took over]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', it became rather obvious that [[RichBitch Roger Klotz]] now had someone else providing his voice whenever he screamed in terror. While (in the Nick series) the title character didn't scream like a little girl, he sure did have a high-pitched scream!
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''
** When a massive stack of metal falls on him in the episode "Autoboot Camp", Sentinel Prime screams like a little girl.
** So does Grandus, when he encounters the "scary organic" Captain Fanzone in "This is Why I Hate Machines". For some perspective on that last bit, Grandus transforms into what looks like one of those vehicles they use to carry the space shuttle around, and is the Autobot equivalent of a sumo wrestler.
** Soundwave in [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 the original cartoon]]. Given that he's supposed to be a cold, heartless Decepticon, it's surprisingly hilarious.
** In the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' episode "Scrapheap", Bulkhead lets one out when the lights go out. Miko then lets one out when she freaks out over a spider.
* Neil, of ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans''. Very bad for his image.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'': Space Ghost took this one step further. The [[InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers body snatcher pods]] arrived, and he screamed once. Trying to leave the building, he finds it's been covered by TheBlob; another scream. Then, he flies back into the studio and babbles incoherently ''in a little girl's voice'' before clearing his throat.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''
** The Robot Devil.
** Bender does this when Roberto tries to stab him in "Insane in the Mainframe".
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown''; [[SissyVillain Jack Spicer]] does this frequently.
** Dojo also does this in one of the earlier episodes.
* Michelangelo in the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2003}}'' cartoon does a pretty good girly scream when he's freaked. Donatello sometimes panics too. Example of Mikey's [[SarcasmMode manly]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsqyOXa20MI screaming.]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Preschool", Cartman screams like this after being threatened by a bully that had just been released from juvie and had a score to settle with the boys.
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' does this a few times. Captain Hero: "I ''said'' I'm on the ''phone''!" Also the driver of the Satanmobile: "You just killed the one-legged '''man'''!" ... "Stop this truck '''right now'''!"
* Nick Dean in ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' does this when he encounters Poultra.
* Blitz from ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'' is known for this.
* WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog is known to indulge in this from time to time, for example in the episode "Son of the Chicken From Outer Space" (5:45 in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KdinLnOyfk this clip]]).
* Dexter of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' screams like a little girl when also dressed like one.
* Toad of ''WesternAnimation/{{X-Men Evolution}}'' has a high-pitched girly scream.
* Cyborg of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Come to think of it, pretty much all the guys on that show do this, but his is definitely the most girly.
* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR''.
-->'''Coop:''' Jamie, quit screaming like a little girl!\\
'''Jamie:''' It's not me, dude, it's him. ''(points to driving instructor, who screams again)''\\
'''Coop:''' Oh. You, quit screaming like Jamie!
* Odd Della Robbia, a few times in ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''. Notably at the end of episode "Guided Missile". Ironic since he's dubbed by a male voice actor, unlike other young boys in the series who have CrossDressingVoices.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''
** The Mayor [[CrowningMomentOfFunny does this]] for several seconds in an early episode.
** Mojo Jojo also does this in "Meet the Beat-Alls" when he discovers Moko Jono's true identity.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'': Bob, Dot, Enzo and Mike the TV get trapped in a ''[[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]]'' type game and come across a giant spider. Cue high-pitched scream. Bob looks at Enzo. Enzo looks at Dot. Dot shrugs and points at Mike (the source of the scream).
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' After Ben sees a television advertisement for Sumo Slammers the motion picture, he does this in a very fan-girly way.
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''
** Bobby Hill. Including the time when Hank told him not to scream like a girl when he got him in a rose contest. Bobby still does it.
** Inverted for Hank, who has an impressively masculine scream ("BWAAAAHHHH!") that's plenty funny on its own.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'', Tino making these was something of a running gag (a trait he inherited from his father). One episode even has him worried he's too effeminate (becoming [[GenderBender Tina]] in an ImagineSpot).
* Often done by Sid on ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', usually to something no one else considers frightening.
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': Wesley Rank lets one out when he sees a giant snake.
-->'''Rank's Camera Man:''' Rank may not know how to treat little girls, but he sure knows how to scream like one!
* General Skarr from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' as part of being the world's ButtMonkey, most notably in one episode where he is caught on fire by Grim's scythe in his vain attempts to prevent Billy from destroying his beloved garden, where he continues to screech until Grim puts the fire out by stomping on him... poor guy never catches a break.
* WesternAnimation/MrBogus often screams this way, most of the time.
* Stu Pickles also has a rather girlish-sounding scream on WesternAnimation/Rugrats (making chocolate pudding at 4 AM, anyone?)
