History TheChewToy / WesternAnimation

* Hunter from ''WesternAnimation/FatherofthePride''.

*** As if to rub it in, it's worth noting that he garners ''no'' sympathy even from his fellow Predacons (when Waspinator reported he was being damanged by a protohuman, Megatron shrugged it off as business as usual). Half the time, ''they're'' the ones who blow him up (Wonder why one time he was bent [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar on tearing Tarantulus a new waste disposal unit?]] Tarantulus locked him in a room with a bomb!). The rest of the time, they just ignore him ("''Oh sure, don't mind Waspinator. Waspinator just lie here and suffer, drag himself to CR tank!''").

** Courage suffers a lot throughout the show whenever he’s trying to save his family from the monsters. The poor dog gets flattened, blown up, and hit by an anvil, and has his fur shaven off.

* Daddy Moo from ''WesternAnimation/TheMooFamilyHolidayHoedown''.

** Kowalski also has his fair share of AmusingInjuries, too. He's been beaten, thrown halfway across the zoo, shrunk, blown up and had his inventions backfire on him ''constantly''. Given that he's an InsufferableGenius, he deserves half of it.

** Also, Nathan in "Crippled Summer".

** Same goes with Meltman from the ''WesternAnimation/ActionLeagueNow!'' sketches.
** Prometheus of ''Prometheus and Bob''.
** The Boolie brothers in ''Race Rabbit''.
** Fondue (and, at times, Sniz).
* Alexandra Cabot from ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats''. At least OncePerEpisode something awful happens to her, like her failing to get Alan's attention, trying to upstage Josie but failing in various humiliating ways, getting stuck in a log, having a bucket of glue stuck on her head, getting attacked by a tiger and falling down an elevator shaft.

* Henry on ''WesternAnimation/{{KaBlam}}'', though other fans view him as The Woobie.

** Fondue (And, at times, Sniz).

* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog''_

** ** Courage suffers a lot throughout the show whenever he’s trying to save his family from the monsters. The poor dog gets flattened, blown up, and hit by an anvil, and has his fur shaven off.

* Eustace Bagge from ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog.'' Many episodes end with Eustace suffering some horrible fate, such as DemonicPossession or getting EatenAlive. Of course, since StatusQuoIsGod, he's shown to be alive and perfectly okay by the next episode.

*** Yet another example is Starscream.

* Cat from ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', thanks to Dog.

** Let’s not forget Scratchy the Cat from ''WesternAnimation/TheItchy&ScratchyShow''.

* ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'': Iago is this throughout the entire franchise. He truly was the writers' designated Butt Monkey (their mantra was "When in doubt, hurt the bird"), but what keeps him from being a DesignatedMonkey is that he often brings it on himself from being a greedy manipulative {{Jerkass}}, albeit [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold one with a heart of gold]] at times since his HeelFaceTurn.

** Good old Gil Gunderson is used as a chew toy in every episode that features him. In addition to being homeless, he has been trampled by bulls, had his eyes gouged out, shot to death in a bank robbery, was presumably burnt to a crisp when his car explodes, tried to sue Homer for running him over and ended up ''losing'' the case, etc.

** Good old Gil Gunderson was used as a chew toy in every episode that featured him. Happen to him things like finding himself gored by bulls, shot to death in a bank robbery, and presumably burnt to a crisp when his car explodes.

** WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck. Especially in stories co-starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. The earlier, more ScrewySquirrel-like Daffy was less of a Chew Toy; it seems that Creator/ChuckJones' recasting Daffy as a foil to Bugs' Heroic Trickster spurred the move.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''
** Heather for the girls. Probably the most consistent across three seasons.
** Owen in "Island" has fallen of a cliff (several times), impaled his foot on a rake, been stung by swarms of hornets multiple times in the same episode, had some contrived coincidence cause one bad thing happening to him make something even worse happen two seconds later more times than I can count, and in general has had ridiculously bad luck, even more so than the rest of the cast.

** Harold is been injured the most out of any Total Drama contestant.

** Blaineley becomes one of these both figuratively and literally, in World Tour.
** Scott from "Revenge of Island" figuratively and literally, especially so in All-Stars. His IronButtMonkey status and increased stupidity has earned him a lot of fans from his very large hate base.
** Max in "Pahkitew"; more often than not, he brings his pain upon himself.

* The titular Johnny of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' can't get a break when his father desides to [[AbusiveParent bully him for no good reason]].

* The main cast of ''WesternAnimation/KingArthursDisasters''. Hey, it's called King Arthur's DISASTERS [[CaptainObvious for a reason, you know.]]

** Most of [[{{Jerkass}} Little Miss Calamity]]'s misfortunes were caused by her failed attempts to bring misfortune to others, so she deserves it.

* ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'': Iago is this throughout the entire franchise. He truly was the writers' designated Butt Monkey (their mantra was "When in doubt, hurt the bird"), but what keeps him from being a DesignatedMonkey is that he often brings it on himself from being a greedy manipulative JerkAss, albeit [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold one with a heart of gold]] at times since his HeelFaceTurn.

* Sokka from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is a prime example. He's been smashed, splashed, slammed, tripped, bonked, nearly killed by his own master (this may not have been as bad as he thought), slapped, kicked, punched, jumped & tied-up (by his future girlfriend, no less), squished, gotten drunk/high on cactus juice, thwacked, and buried alive, just to begin the list, and all for our sadistic amusement. And that's only the show proper -- the shorts involve Sokka being mangled in ways that would make Wile E. Coyote cringe. Though one may expect him to be TheWoobie, and to a minor degree he is in some circles, the fact that he's shown to be able to [[IronButtmonkey take more physical damage]] than any other character in the series, combined with his cocky attitude and general c'est-la-vi demeanor, make for more hilarity than tragedy.

* The Creator/{{MGM}} cartoon character ''WesternAnimation/BarneyBear'' went through this in almost every short he starred in--the outcome of his adventures ''never'' end positively for him. This is especially bad in "Barney's Hungry Cousin", where he's hauled off to jail by his own cousin after being framed by him for trying to feed him in a no-feeding area (by his cousin putting the sign there to begin with, after pestering Barney for his food the whole short, prompting Barney to offer the sandwich in defeat). His cousin doesn't even give Barney the pleasure of [[YankTheDogsChain eating his stashed lollipop as he's dragged off!]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', Fry was initially cast as a FishOutOfTemporalWater unfamiliar with all the strange and [[EverythingTryingToKillYou very dangerous]] things his new-found friends had grown up with. As the series progressed, this was [[SerialEscalation gradually turned]] UpToEleven as the show decided to [[CosmicPlaything throw every possible outlandish scenario directly into his face]]. He's also a case of someone who can encompass both this trope ''and'' TheWoobie, as his fellow employees' berating of the [[TheFool aloofness]], [[TheDitz ignorance]] and [[CloudCuckoolander absent-mindedness]] that continually harm his friendships and self-esteem—all of which he sometimes does his best to overcome—garners a lot of [[ThisLoserIsYou viewer sympathy]].

* [[TheyKilledKenny Kenny]] from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''. He has been injuried, beheaded, burned, shot, run over... hundreds of times.
