** In the Season 2 finale, Vlad's most desperate plan to obtain Danny as his son has him building a perfect clone of him with plans to kill the original one after. As if that wasn't crazy in itself, everything was going great until Danny's OppositeSexClone does a HeelFaceTurn (because Vlad threw off a RantInducingSlight) and teams up with the hero to destroy the clone lab, including the perfect clone. Vlad, once calm and preserved, goes insane, delivers a ''very'' emotional BigNo, and was downright close to murdering everyone if not for a timely rescue by Danny's friends. And it's permanent. Oh so painfully permanent. In season 3 it's shown that Vlad's attitude towards Danny has drastically changed. Vlad used to think that of Danny as a son who needed to be convinced into joining him. After that breakdown, Danny became an all-out enemy, and Vlad wanted nothing more than to destroy him and see him suffer.
** In his 2nd appearance in the series' 3rd tv movie, the evil ringmaster Freakshow suffered from one when Danny played on his [[IJustWantToBeSpecial jealousy of ghosts]], resulting in him using the powerful [[RealityWarper Reality]] [[ArtifactOfDoom Gauntlet]] to become a ghost himself, which is exactly what Danny wanted so he could use the [[WeaponsThatSuck Fenton Thermos]] to trap him and save the world.

* In ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', Dr. Facilier loses his cool a few times when it looks like his plans aren't going to pan out (and he won't be able to pay off his "debt" to his "Friends on the Other Side"). He loses it completely at the end of the film, when [[spoiler:Tiana destroys the talisman he needs to complete his plan, and his "Friends" show up to collect that debt... by dragging him to his doom through a hellish portal. ''"[[IronicEcho Are you ready?!]]"'' "NO! I'm not ready at all!"]]
* Hilariously subverted in Disney's ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' after [[spoiler:Hercules survives the River Styx and frees Meg's soul from Hades]]:
-->'''Hades''': This is... this is ''impossible''! [[spoiler:Y-y-you-- You can't be alive! You'd have to be a-a-a--]]
-->'''Pain and Panic''': [[spoiler:A ''god''?!]]
-->'''Hades''': ''[flaming]'' '''''EEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH'', ''AAAAAAAAAGH''!!! HERCULES, ''STOP''!!! YOU ''CAN'T'' DO THIS TO ME, YOU CAN'T'''-- ''[Herc [[CrowningMomentOfFunny punches his face inwards]]]'' Fine. Okay. ''[his face pops out again]'' Okay, well, maybe I deserved that.
* On ''{{Jimmy Two-Shoes}}'', Lucius loses his mind when he finds that [[spoiler: [[AHellOfATime Miseryville]] has been turned into the perfect, happy Smilesville as part of a prank against him]]. The episode ends with him in a padded cell. [[SnapBack He's fine the next episode, however]].
* ''FantasticMrFox'' had Farmer Bean do this to a response to Fox's letter. He responds by trashing everything his office in front of his Farmer co-horts and then goes outside to smash more things before getting his next evil scheme.
* In WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants, Squillium experiences this in Band Geeks. After setting Squidward up to fail for shits and giggles, seeing Squidward's band [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome epicly]] succeed causes him to stare in empty shock before HAVING A HEART ATTACK. Never has a SmugSnake been more brutally taken down.
** Has another in 'House Fancy', where Squidward's completely destroyed house is considered far fancier than his own and awarded several high honors for being 'artistic'. Squillium's response is to sink to the ground and lay there crying his eyes out.

* Steele, the main villain of WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} suffers a rather frightening one in much the same manner as [[TheGreatMouseDetective Ratigan's]]. He finds himself in a position were his only hope for survival is to let Balto take the glory he feels is completely his. He responds by going from a SmugSnake to a feral and insane hound who brutally assaults Balto. When that fails, he messes up Balto's trail while muttering to himself psychotically. Yeah, he recovered, but he managed to make himself scarier than the Grizzly Bear who attacked Balto earlier!
* Vilgax from WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}} suffers one after being thrown into the Null Void and escaping. His previous motivation was steal the Omnitrix to take over the universe, even when he returned the first time that was it. This time he's gets a TwitchyEye just thinking about what happened to him and is all out for revenge on Ben in addition to obtaining the Omnitrix, even if it results in the destruction of the universe. Ben even offers to surrender the Omnitrix without a fight if he gets the self destruct turned off and prevents the destruction of universe, Vilgax doesn't accept it because he wants revenge on Ben so greatly.

* Justin Hammer in ''IronManArmoredAdventures'' started out as an eccentric, amoral and corrupted, but relatively civil and calm villain. Over the course of the story, however, his insanity becomes more and more clear, has he displays AxCrazy and PsychoticManchild sides whenever he is having fun or when things don't go how he wanted. Eventually, ''The Hammer Falls'' involves him being blackmailed by a mysterious traitor; this causes him to go completely nuts, take down all his supervillain thugs out of paranoia, attempting to deliver a ZombieApocalypse on Manhattan and losing the little sanity he had left. 
**  Obidiah Stane experienced one as well when he found out who Iron Man really is.
* [[spoiler:Clay]] in ''MoralOrel'' has this in the third season, most notably in the episodes "Nature," "Sacrifice," "Nesting" and "Honor" which overlaps with his FreudianExcuse / AttentionWhore / OedipusComplex attitude.
* The various characters of "InvaderZim" tend to fly into a rage when things don't go as they planned, with Zim himself being by far the most prone; in the episode "A Room with a Moose", for example, when Dib manages to foil the Irken's diabolical plan to send his classmates into a wormhole, Zim completely loses it and wails, "NO! NOOO, THE MOOSE HAS FAILED ME!"
