| 46 | ** In "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E13TheBoss The Boss]]", Rocky states that [[EvilInc The Chanax Corporation]] pollutes, cuts down rainforests, and their boss invented boy bands. Earlier, within the same episode, Mr. Robinson refuses to [[BillyNeedsAnOrgan get a stuffing transplant]] from Rocky, claiming that Rocky is an immature deadbeat who never left school, refuses to get a decent job, and dresses like a Canadian. |
| 47 | ** From "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS3E18ThePassword The Password]]": |

| 56 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': |

| 62 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} (1993)'' episode "Spell-Bound" (which was, incidentally, the first half-hour episode starring Pinky and the Brain extensively) there are [[RuleOfThree no less than three examples]]. The first case is where the Brain is reading the table of contents of Merlin’s spell book: “Tabby cat turned into duck, tadpoles, magic uses of, Tahoe, how to win at blackjack…” (After reading that last one, he thinks about it for a couple of seconds, and then says, “Nah.”) |
| 63 | ** Second, the first four ingredients for the “Take Over the World Spell” (the one he was looking for) are: six lizard legs, two eyes of newt, two hedgehog spleens, and one half-eaten gingerbread cookie that’s been left on the counter overnight. (Getting the final ingredient, a red dragon toenail clipping, is the main plot.) |
| 64 | ** Later in the episode, while traveling through the Enchanted Forest to the Murky Mountain to get it, the pair comes across a signpost pointing to the "Glade of Woe", the "Chasm of Despair" and the "Pit of Barbecue". (In regards to the last one, the Brain says, "Perhaps later.") |

(According to the [[WordOfGod DVD commentary]] he really loved the fancy door.) |
| 67 | ** In "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheKingOfOmashu The King of Omashu]]", the Gaang is brought before the eponymous King for 'vandalism, traveling under false pretenses and malicious destruction of cabbages.' The cabbage merchant demands ''[[DisproportionateRetribution death by beheading]]'' for that last one. |

Bagley, how many times do I have to tell you? [[DoesNotLikeSpam I]] '''[[DoesNotLikeSpam hate]]''' [[DoesNotLikeSpam macaroni and cheese]]! |
| 70 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Girl's Night Out", after Harley, Poison Ivy, and Livewire trash the Iceberg Lounge, the very disheveled Penguin is angrily yelling to someone on the phone: |

| 80 | '''Ringo:''' And Ringo! |
| 81 | * On ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'' the MegaCorp ''Phillip Morris-AT&T-Disney-Fox-AOL-Time-Warner-Pepsico-Viacom-Halliburton-Skynet-Toyota-Trader Joe's'' is repeatedly mentioned. All of the named companies in this conglomerate are often considered to some degree real life versions of [[EvilInc Evil Inc,]] (or in the case of Skynet, a straight example) with the glaring exception of Trader Joe's: a somewhat hippy-ish chain of grocery stores that's known for actually treating its employees and customers pretty well. |
| 82 | * Uncle Ruckus, a main character on ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' is a black man who [[HypocriticalHumor hates black people and everything to do with them.]] He has stated that black people were better off with slavery and Jim Crow laws, and many other outrageous statements, [[YouAreWhatYouHate despite his own skin color]]. His three favorite movies? ''Birth of a Nation'', ''Gone With the Wind'', and ''Notting Hill''. |

| 88 | ** On another occasion a bounty hunter arrests a criminal wanted for "12 robberies, 300 counts of dangerous flying, and dropping an ice cream truck into an active volcano." |
| 89 | * ''WesternAnimation/BozoTheWorldsMostFamousClown'': in "Beast With the Least," Bozo is running a giant mechanical dragon that the police (and Butch) think is real. An APB is issued: |

| 97 | ''"Um, let's see... I blew up your orbitron regulators so you'll crash into Capitol Planet. And I destroyed your power supply so you can't correct your orbit. Oh yeah... and I shrunk your commander's spacesuit."''\ |
| 98 | ''"As citizens of my empire, you will all be fitted with the latest in subservient fashion. Brain control modules will make you all mindless drones in the service of my evil. Your 167 hour work week will consist of grueling labor in lunchbox-sized cubicles that allow zero privacy. Oh! And no dental benefits."'' |
| 99 | * In ''[[WesternAnimation/CaptainSturdy Captain Sturdy: The Originals]]'', it is mentioned that the diabolical inventions of Captain Sturdy's nemesis Dr. Destructo include the zombie ray, the hyper quantum annihilator, and new age music. |
| 100 | * In the ''Car’s Life movies'', this is invoked several times: |
| 101 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ACarsLifeSparkysBigAdventure'' has Officer Clutch arresting Diesel, but not because she murdered Piston and chopped up Speedy (which was explicitly mentioned by the main characters), but because she drove without a license. |
| 102 | ** ''Car’s Life 2'' takes this even further. Diesel got arrested not because she poisoned Bumper’s gas, tried to destroy Fender’s Gas N’ Go, or tried to kill Petoola and Sparky, but because she drove with an expired registration. This is even lampshaded by Diesel that it was “ironic, but not dramatic.” |

| 106 | * ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'': |
| 107 | ** "Bible Humpers: A Much Needed Praycation" begins with Scudworth rambling on the negative aspects of religion, such as how it has been used as a tool of oppression and indoctrination. He gives Christian rock as a final example, his inflection clearly intended to imply that it's the worst thing about religion. |
| 108 | ** The same episode has Abe pretend to be God to try and talk to JFK out of becoming abstinent. While in character, he states that even God has made mistakes, the examples given being when God created disease, when He created wars and when He created the phrase "Let's circle back". |
| 109 | * ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': |
| 110 | ** From the episode "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.", while Numbuhs Two and Three were operating on their hurt fellow operative, [[spoiler: who later turned out to be Bradley the skunk]], the following items that Numbuh Two calls for during the surgery are a scalpel-laser-claw (a scalpel with a laser attached), a reboninator (a jackhammer-like device)... and a [[TrademarkFavoriteFood chili dog]]. |

| 114 | * At the end of the episode "Room Rage" from ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'', Mrs. Cramp gets angry at the boys, to the point of kicking them out of the house, because they filled it with [[NeatFreak junk, dirt]] and a poster of Rodeo Rita. |
| 115 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'', Porkrind gives a shady customer his requested goods: |
| 116 | -->'''Porkrind:''' One box of grenades, two sacks of gunpowder, a spool of piano wire, and one tube of toothpaste. Spearmint. |
| 117 | * In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'', when [=McFist=] thinks he's destroyed Randy and phones The Sorcerer about it, the latter senses fear, despair, and a sudden spike in the price of Ninja memorabilia. |
| 118 | * ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': |
| 119 | ** "Mystery Meat" gives us two: |
| 120 | --->'''Mr. Lancer:''' Tucker Foley. Chronic tardiness, talking in class, repeated loitering by the girl's locker room.\ |

| 128 | ** "Maternal Instincts": |
| 129 | --->'''Vlad''': (to Maddie) I've forgiven [Jack] for many things... causing the accident that ruined my life, stealing you, the backwash incident... |

| 131 | --->'''Maddie:''' You despicable, lying piece of... cheese! |
| 132 | ** In "Boxed-Up Fury", when Danny is reading about the contents of PandorasBox: |
| 133 | --->'''Danny''': Plagues, pestilence, ''boy bands'', man this is one evil box. |

| 135 | --->'''Plasmius:''' Taking my map, destroying my satellite, mocking my mental health... it's time I finished off Danny Phantom once and for all! |
| 136 | * WesternAnimation/DangerMouse traces a revolt of London's machines and appliances to a computer at the Mega-Brain Research Center (episode "Mechanised Mayhem"). Apparently, the computer claims to have 48K megabytes of RAM, an exponentially developing intelligence and two tickets to the Cup Finals. |

| 138 | ** In "Tiptoe Through The Penfolds", DM assesses Baron Greenback's magnetic molecular molder in an attempt to destroy it as it is out of control making duplicates of Penfold: |
| 139 | --->'''DM:''' Let's see...if that's the phase loop rectifier and that's the PH discriminator, then ''that'' must be...a plastic clothes peg! |
| 140 | ** In "The Spy Who Stayed In With a Cold," Agent 57 fills in for bedridden Penfold. As he explains why he changes his form when he sneezes: |
| 141 | -->'''Agent 57:''' I had an accident with a molecular fragmenter at research HQ.\ |

| 150 | --> '''Daria:''' Yeah, why should you be afraid of mass murderers, serial killers, torturers, cannibals, ''[[KickTheDog puppy kickers...]]'' |
| 151 | * Occurs quite a few times in ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''. Some examples from "Time and Punishment", wherein a distant future Darkwing becomes Darkwarrior Duck: |
| 152 | -->'''Darkwarrior:''' Just think of it, a time machine capable of taking me anywhere in history! I could lock up criminals before they commit crimes! Banks will be safe, drug stores will go unrobbed, and no one will get away with not brushing after every meal!\ |

| 201 | ** In "Blondas Have More Fun", Wanda argues with her sister Blonda over who has it harder. Blonda claims that her job as a professional actor is more difficult than Wanda's job as a godparent because she has to deal with the pressure, the limelight, and lukewarm hot tub water. |

That's the evillest evil ever!" |

| 239 | * ''WesternAnimation/FudencioESeusAmigos'': It was a RunningGag that the news reporter would list a criminal's doings like murder, and then finishing with something irrelevant such as "composing a cellphone tune". |
| 240 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': |
| 241 | ** Policeman: "You're under arrest for child cruelty, child endangerment, depriving children of food, selling children ''as'' food and misrepresenting the weight of livestock." |
| 242 | *** [[FridgeHorror When you think about it]] that one might also fit the description of BreadMilkEggsSquick.

| 243 | ** Richard Nixon plans to do this in "A Head In The Polls": |
| 244 | --->'''Nixon''': --and after I'm elected, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, [[LargeHam AND I'LL CRAWL INTO PEOPLE'S HOUSES AT NIGHT AND WRECK UP THE PLACE!]] [''EvilLaugh''] |

| 247 | * ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' did this a few times, especially in the ''WesternAnimation/USAcres'' shorts. Usually, the last thing mentioned was the lineup/schedule of a rival TV network (the show aired on CBS). |
| 248 | --> '''Roy:''' Wade's confessing his crimes.\ |
| 249 | '''Orson:''' What crimes?\ |
| 250 | '''Roy:''' So far, the sinking of the Titanic, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the Spanish-American War, and last season's NBC fall schedule. |

| 255 | --->'''Garfield:''' Don't ever ask anyone to hit you over the head with a baseball bat.\ |
| 256 | '''Garfield:''' Don't ever ask anyone to drop a ten-ton safe on you.\ |

| 258 | ** In the episode "Feline Felon," an Series/AmericasMostWanted parody shows one of the criminals is wanted for burglary, [[RunningGag stealing the Klopman Diamond]], and using a small child as a bookmark. Then another is wanted for robbery, extortion, and doing the Pennsylvania Polka in Rhode Island. Garfield's own list of crimes is more like "Arson, jaywalking and murder", as it starts with stealing baked goods and moves on to him stealing "a kiss", "third base" (during an actual baseball game), "the spotlight", and even "a fleeting glance" before showing him stealing peoples' pants. |
| 259 | ** In “Bigfeetz” after Jon has run into a tree in his excitement to find Bigfeetz, knocking himself unconscious, Garfield says he’ll go find a doctor, a nurse, or a caterer. |

| 271 | ** Near the start of "Society of the Blind Eye", Mabel looks through her scrapbook and laments her bad luck with boys. |
| 272 | --->'''Mabel:''' (''points to a picture of Norman'') [[TotemPoleTrench Turned out to be]] [[OurGnomesAreWeirder gnomes]]... (''points to Li'l Gideon'') [[EnfanteTerrible Child psycho]]... (''points to Gabe'') [[ItMakesSenseInContext Made out with his own hands...]] |

| 274 | --->'''Stan:''' I've been to prison in three different countries! [[NoodleIncident I once had to chew my way out of the trunk of a car]]! You think ''you've'' got problems? ''I've got a mullet, [[spoiler:Stanford!]]'' |

| 278 | ** In "Happy Huggy Stuffy Bears", [[WeCanRuleTogether Eris offers Mandy a chance to work together]], where they'll have control, power, and free chicken. |
| 279 | ** In "Bully Boogie", when the Boogeyman laments how children aren't as easily scared as they used to be, he blames cartoons, video games, and the tuba. |

How do you plead? |
| 283 | * ''WesternAnimation/HenrysCat'' once found himself having to fight a terrifying three-headed dragon. The first head breathed fire, the second had huge, razor-sharp teeth, and the third was worst of all: it told very bad jokes. |
| 284 | * In ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' on the night before Arnold's Grandpa enters a big race. |
| 285 | -->'''Grandpa''': I could drop dead in that heat, or those [[ThreateningShark man-eating sharks]] could get me or my deodorant could give out. |
| 286 | ** The episode where they go to the aquarium plays with this. The security guard rattles off a list such as no video cameras, no tapping on the glass, no feeding the fish, no diving in the shark tank, no smoking, no knives, no guns, no plastic explosives, but his most important rule is no skateboarding. |
| 287 | * The beginning of "Hobo 13" from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': |
| 288 | -->'''Tallest Purple:''' Plasma-armed battle tanks, Maim-bots, death ray cannons, a sack of taquitos?!\ |

| 298 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': |
| 299 | ** In Episode 12, when the gang are discussing what a TV news channel needs, Mr. Cat suggests "blood, pathos, suffering... and a blonde". |

| 301 | ** In the episode "Let's Play Treasure Hunt", Kaeloo gets mad at Stumpy for not packing all the important things they needed for a camping trip: the tent, the sleeping bags, the flashlights, and the book of campfire songs. |
| 302 | ** In one episode, Stumpy wants to become a vampire, so Kaeloo explains to him the various downsides of being a vampire, such as that he has to sleep in a coffin, he'll be destroyed if he goes out in the sun, and that he won't be able to post selfies online anymore since vampires can't be seen in photos. |
| 303 | ** In Episode 72, Stumpy is turned into a genius and reveals his plans for the future: build a bomb capable of destroying the planet, TakeOverTheWorld, and change the show's name from [[ProtagonistTitle "Kaeloo"]] to [[HostileShowTakeover "Stumpy"]]. |

| 305 | ** In Episode 91, Kaeloo re-dubs a clip of Mr. Cat speaking to say that he has low self-esteem, he has an inferiority complex, and his paws smell bad. |
| 306 | ** Kaeloo has a nightmare about what would happen in her show if it were realistic: Stumpy would be sent to a mental hospital for being insane, Mr. Cat would be locked up in an animal shelter for being a cat, and Pretty would have to work in retail to be able to afford the things she buys on the show. |
| 307 | * On ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': |

Loki reasons "[[DisproportionateRetribution When I order a half-veggie, half-pepperoni pan pizza,]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I expect to GET a half-veggie... half-pepperoni... pan... PIZZA!]]" |
| 320 | * ''The WesternAnimation/LittleLulu Show'' episode, "Prisoner Exchange", had Tubby's CriminalDoppelganger, Marty the Midget, who is wanted for burglary, kidnapping, grand theft auto, and worst of all, not looking both ways before crossing the street. |

| 324 | '''Pirate 3''': Trim that beard! |
| 325 | * As seen above with Nasty Canasta in ''Drip-Along Daffy'', many Western-themed ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts had wanted posters with the outlaw's offenses listed as "bank robbery, cattle rustling, and square-dance calling." Adding to that, another poster listed the third crime as square dancing in a roundhouse. |
| 326 | ** Possibly inspired by this, the 'Wanted Poster With Your Face On It' souvenir available at Legoland's 'Western' section features a long list of crimes ending with "..bank robbery, cattle rustling, horse theft, and kicking little old ladies in the knee." |
| 327 | * Also used in the ''Looney Tunes'' classic "WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc", when Elmer uses his Magic Helmet to attack Bugs Bunny with "Typhoons! Hurricanes! Earthquakes! '''SMOG!!'''" |
| 328 | ** A non-lethal example: the WesternAnimation/PorkyPig cartoon "WesternAnimation/GetRichQuickPorky" (1937) has Porky taking a bag of money to the bank. His sidekick Gabby Goat entreats him to use it to buy a car, or yacht, or a trip to Europe, or a chocolate sundae. |
| 329 | ** In "The Adventures of the Road Runner," the Coyote [[SuddenlyVoiced answers a young viewer's question]] about why he wants to catch the Road Runner: |

| 334 | * Coop of ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' was fond of this method. OnceAnEpisode, he'd confront the MonsterOfTheWeek, and deliver a long monologue with the following format: |
| 335 | -->'''Coop:''' All right you intergalactic snots! You busted up my car show!\ |
| 336 | '''Jamie:''' Yeah!\ |
| 337 | '''Coop:''' You wrecked my friends' rides!\ |
| 338 | '''Jamie:''' Yeah!\ |
| 339 | '''Coop:''' AND! You made me run half a block!\ |
| 340 | '''Jamie:''' Yeah! (RecordScratch) Wait-Half a block?\ |
| 341 | '''Coop:''' Now, it's payback time! |
| 342 | ** A classic: |
| 343 | --->'''Coop:''' Listen up you dorky-sounding, ice-grubbing, robotic chump! You dinged my chrome, made me break my window AND snapped my favourite key! (Ator clears his throat) Oh yeah. You also tried to cut up the planet of the space Bigfoots... |
| 344 | ** Often things were included in the list that weren't the villain's fault, usually things Coop himself had caused. |
| 345 | --->'''Coop:''' This alien chick thinks she can get my ride towed, make me go to the DMV and take a road-test? [[SuddenlyShouting I DON'T NEED NO STINKING ROAD TEST!]]\ |
| 346 | '''Jamie:''' Eh, dude, none of that stuff is ''her'' fault.\ |
| 347 | '''Coop:''' Yeah...Well she's still trying to kidnap Kiva, that ain't cool neither. |
| 348 | ** And once it was all HIS fault. |
| 349 | --->'''Coop:''' Listen here, you walking water heater. YOU guys attacked me.\ |
| 350 | '''Jamie:''' Nope, that was you.\ |
| 351 | '''Coop:''' YOU screwed up my warp drive.\ |
| 352 | '''Kiva:''' You did that too.\ |
| 353 | '''Coop:''' AND you made me miss the Monster Truck combat of the century!\ |
| 354 | '''Jamie:''' Again, all you.\ |
| 355 | '''Coop:''' Ya mind? I'm on a roll here. |
| 356 | ** Coop {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this in an episode where he's yelling this at the Glorft leader who is actually [[EnemyMine on his side]]: |
| 357 | --->'''Gorrath:''' Are you talking to me? I'm on your side now, remember?!\ |
| 358 | '''Coop:''' Oh. Sorry, force of habit. |
| 359 | *** Interesting note: that latter [[TruthInTelevision actually happened]] during the UsefulNotes/CrimeanWar, where the elderly Lord Raglan would repeatedly call the enemies "the French", despite the fact that the French were now on his side and they were fighting the Russians. |
| 360 | ** In Magnanimous's second appearance: |
| 361 | --->'''Kiva:''' I knew there was something more to this than some stupid fight. This is about revenge!\ |
| 362 | '''Magnanimous:''' It's about more than that, red. You put me in a quantum singularity, destroyed my empire, made me broke, and gave me this {{twitch|yEye}}. ''(eye twitches)'' It's about hurting you and I wish to go on hurting you, so I am going to humiliate you live. And while I'm at it, I think I might do a little destruction number on this planet of yours!...Oh wow, I guess it is about revenge. |
| 363 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': |
| 364 | -->'''Skwisgaar:''' [after an attempted attack on Dethklok] Dude, where's are we's?! What the *[[SoundEffectBleep pinch harmonic]]* we just flies in?! ...what the hell was wrong with your guitar sounds tonight? |

| 372 | ** In "Girl of Steal", when Jenny returns home [[ItMakesSenseInContext after stealing a new multi-function MP3 player and accidentally creating a villainous alter ego in the process]], she asks her mother if the latest emergency is over aliens, [[ContinuityNod evil puppets]], or the kid in her 3rd period who [[PasteEater eats glue]]. |
| 373 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': |
| 374 | ** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E11KeepCalmAndFlutterOn Keep Calm and Flutter On]]", the protagonists list [[MadGod Discord]]'s offenses from the previous season as turning Ponyville into a WorldGoneMad, turning them into the opposite of their true selves, and making it [[RainOfSomethingUnusual rain chocolate milk]] without any whipped cream to go with it. |
| 375 | ** [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E3CastleManeia "Castle Mane-ia"]]: |
| 376 | *** As the organ triggers various secret passages, Applejack is swapped for a statue, Rarity is tossed outside by Luna's throne, and a bowl of carrots pops up in front of Angel. |
| 377 | *** Later, when the girls are all separated, they all scream at terrifying things: Rainbow Dash at the scary suit of armor Applejack is swapped with; Applejack at a dragon statue on an outdoor ledge; Fluttershy at suddenly being alone; and Rarity at the bit of tapestry she accidentally ripped off. |
| 378 | ** In the two-parter episode "The Cutie Re-Mark", Twilight Sparkle ends up in different {{Bad Future}}s each dominated by a different villain. They go, in order: [[SorcerousOverlord King Sombra]], [[TheFairFolk Queen Chrysalis]], [[TheNightThatNeverEnds Nightmare Moon]], [[OneWingedAngel Lord Tirek]], [[MadGod Discord]] and... ''[[HonestJohnsDealership The Flim-Flam Brothers]]''. |
| 379 | * In an episode of the ''New WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker Show'', Woody's car stalls near a conveniently placed bowling alley in the desert, run by none other than Buzz Buzzard, who offers a prize to who can beat him. Of course, being Buzz Buzzard who he is, he rigs the match completely so that he'll end up winning with a 300 score to keep with his reputation as "Champion" of the place. Turns out that, after he flees, Woody finds out his long list of offenses to the law, which plays the trope straight, putting "unlawful toenail clipping" right in the middle. But there's more: upon seeing this, he immediately calls the police on the phone and starts listing his offenses. At first, this trope is inverted, with Woody listing Buzz's crimes starting from the least severe like cussing and littering, and going up to the most severe with fraud and bank robbery. The [[DonutMessWithACop donut-munching officer]] on the other end of the line pays no heed to any of these; only when he mentions: "but Officer, he parked in a no-parking zone!" do the cops decide to flock in on him and arrest him (he was trying to escape in Woody's ''stalled car''). |

Let's see, I've got my old basketball, the lamp, the Christmas lights, Perry the Platypus, the Disintivaporator, my golf clubs... PERRY THE PLATYPUS!? [{{Beat}}] THE DISINTIVAPORATOR!? [{{Beat}}] MY GOLF CLUBS!? I don't even play golf! |
| 389 | ** In "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbPhineasAndFerbsQuantumBoogaloo Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo]]", Future!Candace accidentally creates a BadFuture in which Dr. Doofenshmirtz managed to rise to power on a tide of MoralGuardian hysteria.

| 390 | * In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', the main characters are in Egypt observing an archaeological expedition in the Great Pyramid of Giza for Brain's latest scheme. Suddenly, a creepy Egyptian guy walks in on the archaeologists: |

Then he quickly adds, "Except you". |
| 395 | ** In "Whatever Happened to Baby Brain", Brain tells Pinky in preparation for his plan of impersonating a child actress so he'll make a lot of money, that he spent hours studying the cutest living things which include babies, puppies, and former New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia. |
| 396 | * An episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' involved a StrawFeminist villain named Femme Fatale avoiding capture by the girls by claiming to be committing crimes in the name of women's rights. To counter this, Ms. Bellum and Ms. Keane gathered several female Townsville residents to talk to the girls: |

| 398 | '''Policewoman:''' Was she looking out for me when she broke my arm?\ |

That last one is The Mayor's BerserkButton. |
| 402 | ** From the episode "Just Desserts", when Mrs. Smith shows Mr. Smith the features of the Smith Family Mini-van: |

| 413 | -->I will give you diamonds, furs, ermine. I will even give you a new set of white sidewall tires. |
| 414 | ** ''Red Hot Riding Hood'' came out in 1943, or, in other words, during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. Rubber was one of the several substances that were rationed as part of the war effort. It still fits the trope, but it's not ''quite'' as incongruous as it seems today. |
| 415 | * ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has Mordecai going through the contents of Death's fridge. |
| 416 | -->'''Mordecai''': Soul juice... goat's feet... Ewww! Almond milk! |

| 435 | --->'''Angelica:''' "First, the sky fell, then rivers overflowed, mountains crumbled, and finally, all the TV shows were cancelled."\ |
| 436 | '''(Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all gasp)''' |
| 437 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' episode "The Wool of the People", General Specific finds to his frustration that he can't capture Sheep because of a new law defending his rights. The general then gets the idea of going around the restriction by running for mayor, listing the advantages as being able to repeal the pro-sheep law, using his power to capture Sheep and use him in the sheep-powered ray gun once he's banned sheep from the city, and being able to have all the ice cream he wants. |
| 438 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 439 | ** One prime example is in "Missionary: Impossible" when Burns chews out [[ItMakesSenseInContext Bart, who's filling in for his father Homer]], after reviewing Homer's performance record for the last ten years, citing "causing ''seventeen meltdowns'', selling plutonium to the Iraqis ''[[DoWrongRight without any markup]]'', and taking the Hamburglar's birthday off last Monday ''and'' Wednesday!

| 445 | ** "Treehouse of Horror XVIII" had a sight gag version of this. As Ned Flanders is granted the power to make a mystical Hell House which shows the children of Springfield the wages of sin in Hell, he shows them the SevenDeadlySins. While Homer is certainly a glutton and is consumed by spaghetti, and Willy shows Wrath and is beheaded by the machine he was futilely kicking, poor Dr. Hibbert is shown proudly sticking a "My Child Made the Honor Roll" bumper sticker on his car. He is immediately crushed by a truck driven by Mole Man and dies in agony for the sin of Pride. |

| 452 | ** In "Sunday, Cruddy Sunday", Homer goes with some of Springfield's men to see Super Bowl XXXIII in person, but when they arrive, they're told their tickets are actually counterfeit. The Simpsons Archive lampshades this with the remark "In order from least to most obvious". |
| 453 | --->'''Ticket-Taker:''' Uh, sorry, fellas, but these tickets are counterfeit. |
| 454 | --->'''Wally:''' [[BigWhat What]]? |
| 455 | --->'''Homer:''' [[OhCrap Counterfeit]]?! |
| 456 | --->'''Ticket-Taker:''' Yeah, see, the hologram's missing, and there's no such team as the "Spungoes", and finally, they seem to be printed on some sort of cracker. (''takes a bite out of one of the "tickets"'') |
| 457 | --->'''Homer:''' Stop eating our tickets! |
| 458 | ** A non-verbal example happened in "Last Exit to Springfield", Mr. Burns tries to intimidate Homer by giving him a tour of the lavish rooms in his mansion; his aviary, his living room with the largest television in the world, a room with a thousand monkeys writing the greatest novel ever written and the basement which is a tiny room with a ping-pong table.

Where my soul will be chopped into confetti, strewn upon a parade of murderers and ''single mothers''. |
| 461 | ** In "'Homer vs. Patty and Selma", Bart gets roped into taking ballet and he does not want to wear tights. The instructor tells him that tights are worn by famous characters like Batman and ''Magellan''. |
| 462 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 463 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 464 | *** In the official first episode "The Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad", Robotnik lists to his robots Sonic's offenses; ruining his schemes, escaping his traps, and helping nice people. |

| 471 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'': |
| 472 | *** The robot fireman at the beginning of the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E4Buster Buster]]" does the exact opposite of everything a good fireman does. He sets things on fire, puts a baby walrus in a burning house, and [[CatUpATree puts a cat in a tree]]. |
| 473 | *** At the beginning of the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E5MyFairSticksy My Fair Sticksy]]", Sticks has defense systems for meteors, wildfires, floods, and [[ConspiracyTheorist people trying to read her thoughts]]. |
| 474 | *** In the episode "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E17DontJudgeMe Don't Judge Me]]", Sticks claims that Dr. Eggman's machines destroy mountains, level cities, and [[EarWorm put songs in your head that you can't get out]]. |
| 475 | *** In the episode "Mayor Knuckles", when Knuckles abuses his power as mayor by approving too many laws, Sonic and his friends [[EnemyMine team up with Dr. Eggman to stop him]]. As retribution, Knuckles outlaws boomerangs, hammers, inventions, spin attacks, and mayonnaise. |
| 476 | *** From the episode "Unnamed Episode", when Sticks finds out that the unnamed village used to be named by her great-great-grandfather, Jebediah Badger: |

| 478 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': |
| 479 | ** This trope is probably why "and she has stupid hair" is one of the funniest lines in the "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch" song. |
| 480 | ** In "Freak Strike," Cartman in his out-of-control persona claims to belong to twelve gangs that only commit hate crimes; to have run for Congress, won, then had sex with an intern, killed her, and hid the body; and to have digitally edited Jabba the Hutt into ''Franchise/StarWars''. |

| 487 | ** In the Jewpacabra episode: |
| 488 | --->'''Cartman''': You can't scare a Jewpacabra, Butters. Don't forget we're dealing with a creature that drinks blood, hides in the night and has absolutely no belief in the divinity of Christ |
| 489 | ** Cartman in the episode "Scott Tenorman Must Die", where he has Scott's parents killed, grinds their corpses into chili which he then feeds to Scott and causes Scott to cry in front of his favorite band. Who then call him a "crybaby". |

| 509 | ** In the episode "Switched", this is combined with an ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne after Starfire and Raven are the victims of a FreakyFridayFlip, courtesy of the [[PerversePuppet Puppet King]]: |
