** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E2AllsFairInOvenWar All's Fair in Oven War]]", special guest James Caan is shot more than 60 times at a toll booth by a bunch of Cletus Spuckler's hick cousins. Was he involved in international crime? No –- he just made the mistake of becoming Brandine's boyfriend! This is a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheGodfather'', in which Caan's character, Sonny Corleone, was ambushed and gunned down at a tollbooth.
** "Welcome to Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge. I am Carvallo. Now, choose a club. ''[beat]'' You have chosen a 3-wood. May I suggest a putter? ''[beat]'' 3-wood. Now enter the force of your swing. I suggest: feather touch. ''[beat]'' You have entered: power drive!"

* Brock Samson of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' goes through {{Mooks}} like there's no tomorrow, often killing them in inventive and ultimately unnecessary ways. Like Franchise/JamesBond, he has a license to kill, so he can usually get away with it.

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E2YouOnlyMoveTwice You Only Move Twice]]" has a scene in which crimefighter [[Film/JamesBond James Bont]] has been captured by the episode's villain, Hank Scorpio, and is restrained to a table where his groin will be cut off by a laser. Bont somehow manages to escape, but then Homer -– not realizing Bont was helping organize a government siege on Scorpio's compound –- unwittingly tackles Bont to the ground. While Scorpio praises Homer for his "help", the trope kicks in as Bont is surrounded by Scorpio's stooges and shot multiple times (11 when the scene ends, but it is presumed to be far more than that).

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' presents [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlWegS2sS0 how to kill a werewolf.]] The punchline being the [[RulesLawyer pedantic Game Master]] saying that reducing the werewolf to a ''literal'' pile of shit didn't kill it [[ExactWords because no part of the overkill involved silver weapons]]. [[AndIMustScream Yeah, guess that is comfortable for it...]]
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'':
** The Omnitrix has a self-destruct device that destroys the ''universe''. Could be because its creator is a misanthrope, or whatever you call someone who dislikes everyone, regardless of species (An [[OmnicidalManiac ''Omni''cidal Maniac,]] perhaps?) Or just wanted to be absolutely sure it stayed out of the wrong hands. However, this depends on how long the timer is set: when Ben sets the Omnitrix to self-destruct in 30 seconds in the GrandFinale of ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', only the Omnitrix itself is destroyed, but can incapacitate everyone around it; Ben explains that it would only destroy the universe if it charged for days like that first time.

*** Which, of course, has lead to people [[TakeThat photoshopping the logos of things they don't like overtop.]]

** Naturally, Coop's affinity for overkilling was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded on more than one occasion.]] One memorable example is when Coop rapidly pressed the target button until the MonsterOfTheWeek had nothing but target reticles on it in Megas' on screen hub.

* Brock Samson of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' goes through {{Mooks}} like there's no tomorrow, often killing them in inventive and ultimately unnecessary ways. Like [[Franchise/JamesBond Bond]], he has a license to kill so he can get away with it usually.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/StrokerAndHoop'', SantaClaus (yes, Santa and no, he was not BadSanta) shoots the guys who tried to kill him and Stroker and Hoop have to tell him to stop shooting, as they are dead.

* In the penultimate episode of season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra '', combustion bender P’li gets a metal breastplate [[YourHeadAsplode wrapped around her head right as she’s about to fire]]. Cue a GoryDiscretionShot and a smoking crater right where she had been.
* Every episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' has this.
* The second half of the series premiere for ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' subverts this. The giant mecha slams Superman into a police car, crushes the car into a wad of steel around him, tosses it through the side of a building... then collapses the building on top of him by firing a missile into it... then sets the rubble on fire... then strides through the fire to stomp on top of the rubble pile. Problem is, he's fighting Superman -- when Supes breaks out underneath the mecha, [[NighInvulnerability his hair isn't even mussed]].
* Non-fatal example: one episode of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' had a water balloon fight between the title character and his rival, Dib. While Dib builds a backpack that creates and launches water balloons, Zim created an orbital space station that sucks out all the water from the city, collects it into a balloon that dwarfs satellites, and launches it right onto Dib. The resulting collision causes a tidal wave that devastates the city.

* The ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode "Operation N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.[[note]]'''N'''innies '''A'''lmost '''U'''ndo '''G'''reatest '''H'''oliday '''T'''his '''Y'''ear[[/note]] gives us the "Twelve Days of Christmas" attack, which involves raining literally everything mentioned as they're mentioned in the titular song on top of someone. And this was used on a ''child.''
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'' did this with each and every trap the Hooded Claw used to kill Penelope.
* The premise of the '90s cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheBotsMaster'' is that an evil, [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture near-future]] corporation is gradually upgrading all the millions of service robots in the world in preparation for an eventual robotic coup. In one episode, the hero's BrattyHalfPint sister discovers that they're scheduled to upgrade two lowly lifeguard bots at a nearby beach. Determined to prove herself while her brother's away, she uses their automated base to construct a massive, Normandy-sized ''armada'' of mechas and fighter ships to storm the beach, while the shell-shocked villains are left frantically screaming "it's just two lifeguard bots!!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** One episode has Homer grabbing a cigarette, stomping on it until it's flat, and then unloading a whole mag into it.
** In "Saturdays of Thunder," Homer watches one of the early scenes in the new ''[=McBain=]'' movie at the video store, where the title character's partner, Skowie, is shot 11 times by a hired gunman of Sen. Mendoza; Skowie then gasps out his last words before dying in [=McBain's=] arms. (Homer passes on the movie to pick up another "overkill"-type movie, the more mundane "Football's Greatest Injuries.")
** In Season 4's "Mr. Plow" – that name again is Mr. Plow – Bart is ambushed and hit repeatedly (taking at least 30 hits) by snowballs, shortly after Homer clears the roads to get to school. The final snowball is to an unconscious Bart by one of Nelson's friends.
** "You Only Move Twice," from 1996, has a scene where crimefighter James Bont (a parody of Film/JamesBond) has been captured by the episode's villain, Hank Scorpio, and is restrained to a table where his groin will be cut off by a laser. Bont somehow manages to escape, but then Homer – not realizing Bont was helping organize a government siege on Scorpio's compound – unwittingly tackles Bont to the ground. While Scorpio praises Homer for his "help," the trope kicks in as Bont is surrounded by Scorpio's stooges and shot multiple times (11 when the scene ends, but it is presumed to be far more than that).
** "All's Fair in Oven War," James Caan (that episode's special guest) is shot more than 60 times at a toll booth by a bunch of Cletus Spuckler's hick cousins? Was he involved in international crime? No – he just made the mistake of becoming Brandine's boyfriend! This is a ShoutOut to ''Film/TheGodfather'', where Caan's character, Sonny Corleone, was ambushed and gunned down at a tollbooth.
** "These are the Yakuza. They kill you 16 times before you hit the ground."
** "Welcome to Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge. I am Carvallo. Now, choose a club. (beat) You have chosen a 3-wood. May I suggest a putter? (beat) 3-wood. Now enter the force of your swing. I suggest: feather touch. (beat) You have entered: power drive!"
** In "Brake My Wife, Please," when Judge Harm revokes Homer's driver's license she chops it in half with a miniature guillotine, feeds the halves to two dogs and orders the bailiff to burn their poop.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", Zapp Brannigan cites the legal punishment of 12 concurrent death sentences for traveling to the forbidden planet Omega 3.

** When Dethklok is given the privilege to choose how a group of criminals would be executed, what is their idea? ''Strap the criminals to missiles, fire said missiles into the sky, then shoot them down with lasers.'' Naturally, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic they wrote a song about it.]]
** When Ofdensen and Melmord were fighting over the position of Dethklok's manager by a fencing match. Ofdensen won, stabbing Melmord in the gut and throwing him off a tower. And to ''really'' make sure he was dead, Melmord got run over by a train. It was yet another SugarWiki/{{Awesome Moment|s}} for Charles [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Foster]] [[PapaWolf Ofdensen]].
* ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'': Behold Matrix's [[http://starman-imaging.com/reboot/episodes/daemnrsg/daemnrsg1621wa.jpg bike?]]
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'', the over-the-top fanatical Soviet soldier accompanying the bad guys is asked whether using a particular weapon wouldn't be overkill. He responds, "There is no overkill! There is only kill and no kill!"
* In ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', the official method of execution for the country of Thembria is by firing squad. In this case, the firing squad either uses ''cannons'', or ''tanks''. They also hang you after they shoot you, as Becky finds out in "The Time Bandit". At least you get to choose the type of noose they use.
* This is how insane time traveler Chronos in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'' reacts to subordinate Chucko betraying him and giving key information to the [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry McGinnis Batman]]. Chronos sends Chucko to what is ground zero of a massive extinction event.
-->'''Chronos''': Do you know what killed the dinosaurs? Well, ''Chucko'' does!
* A truly hilarious example in ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Billy's bike is run over by a car, mangling it. Billy says "Well, it still kinda works..." The bike is then crushed by a falling tree, zapped by a UFO's laser cannon, and hit by a meteor...'' which then grinds itself (and the bike) down into the center of the earth.''
* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', the villain Maxwell in episode 15 admits his plan might have been a bit of overkill.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Him Diddle Riddle" has Him presenting riddles of various levels of danger or else the Professor will [[ExactWords PAY]]. Some could result in death, others could result in ''a missed phone call''. One, however, could result in Ms. Keane being dumped into "this vat of boiling ''sharks''". Him may have been bluffing, because as it turned out, the part about the Professor having to "pay" was a joke: it meant "pay full price" for breakfast at a restaurant.

** In the' episode "Green Isn't Your Color", Pinkie Pie's method of keeping a secret seems to be as follows: zipping her mouth shut, locking the zipper shut with a key, digging a hole in which she buries the key, building a house on top of the hole, and moving into the house.
** In the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen" a [[FlowerPotDrop flowerpot]], [[AnvilOnHead an anvil]], a hay cart, and a ''[[PianoDrop piano]]'' fall on Twilight Sparkle's head in quick succession.
** In "Lesson Zero" Rainbow Dash demolishes a barn so hard it creates [[EverythingMakesAMushroom a rainbow mushroom cloud]].
** In "Read it and Weep" Daring Do, the heroine of the book Rainbow Dash is reading, gets caught in a DeathTrap that consists of [[TheWallsAreClosingIn spiky walls of doom]], [[QuicksandSucks quicksand]] [[DrowningPit filling the room]], [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes snakes]], and [[SpidersAreScary spiders]]. On top of all that, she is tied up with ropes that get tighter the harder she resists. Since she is an CaptainErsatz of Franchise/IndianaJones, she escapes anyway.
** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E7WonderboltsAcademy Wonderbolts Academy]]" Lightning Dust attempts to finish a cloud-clearing exercise by creating a tornado, despite already having a very clear lead on all the other competitors. [[spoiler: Said tornado nearly kills somepony.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hKSrNmCiy8 This]] from ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether''.
* On ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKjrr54vKaA mobsters make sure to finish the job]].
** "I'll tell you what's not safe? Going hunting with Dick Cheney."
** In one episode, Stewie tries to kill Lois by [[PianoDrop pushing a piano down the stairs]] into her way, then tossing a hand grenade into the piano to blow it up. The kicker? She survives without so much as a hair out of place! Justified in that the episode's plot was DeathTakesAHoliday.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' has [[DeadStarWalking Cliffjumper]], who has the unfortunate distinction of being fatally stabbed by Starscream. ''[[EstablishingSeriesMoment In the first five minutes of the series.]]'' Evidently there's no respect for the dead in this universe, as he's brought back as a mindless beserker in the next episode for all of twenty seconds before Megatron [[DiagonalCut slices him in half]] and kicks him down a mine shaft. [[TropeCodifier Then Starscream blows the mine up.]]
** In the [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers original series]] episode ''Roll For It'', at one point Megatron declares that when he's finished with the Autobots (using the anti-matter energon cubes), he'll "reduce them to dust molecules!".
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'':
** In the episode "Surro-Gate", Francine imagines revealing to Stan that she is pregnant with Greg & Terry's child. He responds by smashing a bottle, only to then come back with a chainsaw, then coming back with a cougar, finally satisfied with a cougar holding a chainsaw.
** In an episode, Stan kills Principal Lewis' "prison wife" Tracey by shooting him, sending him off a cliff in his car, feeding him to an alligator, and turning said gator into skinned suitcases and clothes. And Tracey '''''came back unscathed.'''''
--->'''Tracey:''' [[InsaneTrollLogic You can't kill this love.]]
** In the episode "Dreaming of a White Porsche Christmas", after Stan jumps off a bridge to kill himself, Bullock and four agents, some of who are armed with assault rifles open fire on him 'as he's falling to certain death', and continue to shoot him after he's hit the ground.
** In "The Boring Identity", Stan and his co-workers break into a [[BlandNameProduct Doug & Buster's]] to capture the real Osama Bin Laden (the one that was killed in 2011 was part of a stunt to make the president look good). When an apathetic night shift worker comes up to Stan, the latter hits him in the chest hard enough to crush his heart, then grabs him by the head while [[EyeScream pushing his eyes into his skull]] in the process, throws him to the ground, and shoots him while walking away for good measure.
* The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Hidden Talent" edges on this for Dr. Drakken's latest DeathTrap; first, he has Kim wrapped up in chains and sealed in a reinforced titanium box, then drops the box into a deep pit, which he proceeds to [[DrowningPit fill up with water]], before releasing [[SharkPool hungry sharks]] and a GiantSquid into the water. To top it all off, he uses a FreezeRay to seal off the pit with a six-foot thick sheet of ice. Thanks to a few {{Contrived Coincidence}}s, Kim manages to escape without a scratch.
-->'''Kim:''' [[BadassBoast Which part of "she can do anything" do you not comprehend?]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' episode "The Red Ball", a referee supposedly commits suicide (but is actually murdered) by strangling himself, jumping off a bridge and overdosing on amphetamines.
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''
-->'''Dale:''' I used as much ant killer as I needed, and not one 55-gallon drum more.
* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 Young Justice: Invasion]]'' episode "Satisfaction", Captain Cold attempts to rob a bank. Unfortunately for him, Rocket was having a bridal shower nearby, with Batgirl, Black Canary, Bumblebee, Miss Martian, Wonder Girl, and Zatanna as her guests. Just one of them would be more than enough to take Cold down, yet ''all 7 of them rush after him!'' Knowing how hopeless the situation is, he doesn't even attempt to fight back:
-->'''Captain Cold:''' I'm completely doomed, aren't I?\\
'''Rocket:''' ''100%''...
* This is Jimbo and Ned's preferred hunting method on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''; in "Volcano", they say a deer looks to be about a 46-gauge; cut to Jimbo firing a bazooka at it. When they fish (in a boat named ''U.S.S. Fishkiller''), they first throw grenades into the water, before launching some sort of missile down into the lake, killing every fish. And when they unknowingly hunt Cartman (in disguise as a creature he made up), he uses some sort of missile-firing harness thing. Then, in "The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka", in order to skirt hunting regulations, they now claim they always have to "thin out the numbers" of animals; Ned promptly roasts some deer with a flamethrower, and Jimbo then states that they're gonna use napalm on beavers.
** In season 10, Chef meets his doom like this. He falls off a bridge, is impaled, gets mauled by a mountain lion and a grizzly bear, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] [[NoDeadBodyPoops craps himself.]]
* On ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', when Star is bitten by a mosquito on a camping trip, she prepares to unleash a "Cataclysmic Total Extinction Death Blast" on it before Marco stops her.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': When faced with an extremely stubborn spot on a plate, [=SpongeBob=]'s last proposed method to get it off is to use a ConvergingStreamWeapon that fires a high-pressure water cannon, a laser particle beam, and another laser within a bundle of steel wool. He succeeds, but in the process destroys the Krusty Krab.
* ''WesternAnimation/RalphWolfAndSamSheepdog'' (WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes): Ralph's final attack against Sam in "Woolen Under Where" consisted of a guillotine, cannons, missiles, and a [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile crocodile]] [[SharkPool pool]] underneath Sam's ledge. Fortunately, before Ralph could fire the DeathTrap, [[NearVillainVictory the quitting time whistle blew]] ("Oh pshaw.").

* The climax of ''WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc'' famously had Elmer Fudd be so incensed towards Bugs Bunny that he mustered every ounce of power from his magic helmet to "kill the wabbit", via a storm of typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and smog]]. [[spoiler:He actually succeeds, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone to his chagrin]].]]

* The ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Hidden Talent" edges on this for Dr. Drakken's latest DeathTrap; first, he has Kim wrapped up in chains and [[GirlInABox sealed in a reinforced titanium box]], then drops the box into a deep pit, which he proceeds to [[DrowningPit fill up with water]], before releasing [[SharkPool hungry sharks]] and a GiantSquid into the water.

** Several times throughout the series, while fighting another HumongousMecha, Coop would look down at the dashboard of the Megas, which seemed to change from week-to-week, and find hilariously appropriate buttons to push, such as: three buttons in a row, labeled "Missiles" "Lotsa Missiles" and "ALL DA MISSILES"... guess which one he chose? All three.

** Naturally, Coop's affinity for overkilling was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded on more than one occasion.]] One memorable example is when Coop rapidly pressed the target button until the MonsterOfTheWeek had nothing by target reticles on it in Megas' on screen hub.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic':

Fortunately, before Ralph could fire the DeathTrap, [[NearVillainVictory the quitting time whistle blew]] ("Oh pshaw.").

** Speaking of ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', the sequel series introduces us to Alien X, the DNA sample from a race with the power of ''OMNIPOTENCE''. As if that isn't overkill enough, Omniverse gives us Atomix who, as his name suggests, has the power of Radiokinesis, and is second only to the aforementioned Alien X in terms of raw power. Omniverse's version of Ben 10,000 possesses a version of the Omnitrix that can fuse these two aliens together.
