| 26 | [[folder:#]] |
| 27 | * ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'': Cadpig believes in world peace and preaches non-violent solutions to problems but then beats up other dogs for insulting her friends or family members or attacks Cruella right after stating her opposition to violence. |
| 28 | [[/folder]] |
| 29 | |
| 30 | [[folder:A]] |
| 31 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' TV special "Win, Lose and Kaboom!", Sheen is constantly annoyed by another galactic race called the Needleheads whose honking drives him crazy -- even though they sound ''exactly'' like him. Helps that like Sheen, they're also voiced by [[Creator/JeffreyGarcia Jeff Garcia]]. |
| 32 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': In "Too Young", the Earl of Lemongrab is watching Peppermint Butler scream in agony after a drop of spicy serum [[EyeScream lands in his eye]]. Lemongrab, who has NoIndoorVoice, bangs the table, and ''shrieks'' "STOP SCREAMING!! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!" |
| 33 | * ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'': In "The Ethereal", while Genie prepares to cook the giant scorpions, one of the scorpions corner Abu and Iago, who are shaking in fear, with Iago shouting "I'm too beautiful to die! Aah!". Then when Genie grabs the scorpion with a ladle, Iago scolds Abu for being so scared. |
| 34 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' makes use of this liberally as with most animated shows. |
| 35 | -->'''Stan:''' There are still a few voters who doubt I'd be a trustworthy leader. So [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext let's lock our alien back in that mechanical teat sucker and make more brainwashing potato salad]]! |
| 36 | ** Another examples is where Steve and the gang try to get his now morbidly obese neighbor out of bed after his wife died, after the event his friend Barry states "fat people make me sick!"; this is ironic considering he is probably the fattest student in their school. |
| 37 | *** Another instance, where Stan brings in Whitney Houston to sing Francine's favorite song, having to bribe her with crack: she sings "they can't take away my dignity", and then immediately faceplants trying to grab said crack. |
| 38 | *** "Do I look like I'm made of money?" Said while Stan is wearing a money suit. |
| 39 | *** When Stan was upset that Francine wasn't the real prom queen and she sarcastically suggests that he take the real one to the dance instead which he gladly does, later she confronts him about it and says "I was being sarcastic, or don't you get sarcasm genius?" and Stan replies "I think I get sarcasm and I'm hardly a genius, but thank you that was awfully sweet of you". |
| 40 | ** Even Hayley isn't so different from her dad in the early seasons. In one episode, she complains about how the mall is making people materialistic, greedy, and corporate as she complains it in her Blackberry. |
| 41 | ** In another episode Hayley, who's at a refugee camp, berates people for having a big feast while people in third-world countries are starving, in the next scene Hayley is seen eating roast beef. |
| 42 | ** Two episodes later, Hayley reprimands Stan for insulting Steve's overweight girlfriend by telling him that people who are overweight have a hard time already being disgusting. |
| 43 | ** In one CutawayGag, a Muslim man orders his wife to get him a beer, which is haram, but then orders her to follow Islamic law herself by covering up her eyes with her hijab, despite the fact that Muslim women aren't required to wear the hijab in their own home. |
| 44 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': |
| 45 | ** Minerva Mink considers herself SoBeautifulItsACurse. Her segments in the show and comic books all see her trying to get something ordinary done (like going grocery shopping or filing her taxes), but can't because every male nearby is hooting and fawning over her, leading to dismissive responses from her. The humor comes from Minerva being NotSoAboveItAll, because when Minerva sees an attractive male she likes, she ends up going into the same hooting and fawning routine, and getting the same dismissive responses. |
| 46 | ** A RunningGag is that Dot always disparages Yakko and Wakko for [[DistractedByTheSexy getting constantly distracted by attractive women]], such as [[HeadTurningBeauty Hello Nurse]]... yet she does the ''exact same thing'' whenever an attractive man walks by. |
| 47 | ** In the first episode of [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs 2020}} the reboot]], the final segment spends its entire time mocking the idea of reboots through song before Yakko gives a somber message about how reboots is just creative sterility. A split second later, the camera pulls out to show the siblings all in Hulu-themed outfits, getting a check for the reboot and having a bunch of money fall behind them. Wakko, then, says that when ''they'' do it, it's cool because they ''know'' they're selling out. |
| 48 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Sterling Archer. Bing. Bang. Boom. There are ''way'' too many examples to list to give justice, considering hypocrisy encompasses Archer's ENTIRE persona. But still.. |
| 49 | ** "Space Race: Part 2": Cyril is about to land the shuttle, after piloting all of re-entry, '''with everyone onboard''', ''and'' ironically being the only one qualified to do so, since he was the sole person to get time on the simulator. Archer suddenly tries to grab the stick: |
| 50 | --->'''Everyone''': NO! WHAT THE HELL!!! ''etc.'' \ |
| 51 | '''Lana''': Archer, you had, like, an ''actual'' moment of '''self-awareness''', ''in space!'' So-\ |
| 52 | '''Archer''': '''...So, ''I'' DESERVE TO LAND THE GODDAMN SPACESHIP!'''\ |
| 53 | [Archer proceeds to wrestle the flight controls from Cyril, '''''thus it all goes to FUBAR.'''''\ |
| 54 | '''Archer''': Actually, Cyril...it's all you buddy. You got it. |
| 55 | --->''[You know what happens next.]'' |
| 56 | ** And there's this from "Skytanic": |
| 57 | --->'''Archer:''' There's your bomber.\ |
| 58 | '''Malory:''' Who?\ |
| 59 | '''Lana:''' What?\ |
| 60 | '''Archer:''' That guy. Beardsley [=McTurbanhead=].\ |
| 61 | '''Malory:''' You idiot. That's Sandu Singh, the billionaire investor. He's a Sikh.\ |
| 62 | '''Archer:''' Oh, so if he's not a Muslim he just gets a pass? Well, that's called profiling, mother, and I don't do it! |
| 63 | * Master Shake from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''. |
| 64 | -->'''Shake:''' ''(sitting in Carl's pool)'' Carl is so annoying! He just struts around like he owns the place!\ |
| 65 | '''[[OnlySaneMan Frylock]]''': Because he ''does'' own it! |
| 66 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': The episode "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has Arthur expressing joy at D.W. losing her voice, but now has to tend to his sister until she gets better. Throughout the episode, Francine berates Arthur for not treating his sister's affliction with more tact, but considering that ''[[AlphaBitch Francine]]'' of all people was doing it, it was only a matter of time before she would be called out on her hypocrisy, which Arthur does late into the episode. She doesn't admit to it, however. |
| 67 | * The ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "[[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs The Ember Island Players]]" provided the perfect set up for tons upon tons of HypocriticalHumor: "How could you say that?" |
| 68 | ** ...Except for Toph. The entire first half of the episode is clearly setting up a HypocriticalHumor moment for her, since she found everyone else's (fairly insulting) portrayals to be spot on and was laughing her ''ass'' off at everyone's reactions to the actors' performances -- except that when the actor who plays her turns out to be a huge, well-muscled guy, she declares that she couldn't have cast it better herself. |
| 69 | ** There's also a scene in the episode "City of Walls and Secrets" where Toph criticizes the rest of the Gaang's lack of proper manners while picking her nose and belching. When called on it, she points out she was taught high class manners and ''chooses'' to ignore them. |
| 70 | ** In "The Waterbending Scroll" when the pirates' ship gets stolen by the Gaang, Zuko finds it hilarious. When the pirates steal ''his'' ship in turn, he is far less amused. |
| 71 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'': |
| 72 | ** In the ''Secret Wars'' episode "Under the Spell of the Enchantress", Enchantress puts Ms Marvel and Captain Marvel in an arena where they have to fight a monstrous {{Snowlem}}. When they win, she exclaims "They destroyed my snowman! What sort of monsters would do that?" Not only has she ''already'' destroyed one of her snowlem servants just to demonstrate her power, but she's so upset about the Marvels winning that she immediately backhandedly obliterates another one. |
| 73 | ** In the ''Black Panthers Quest'' episode "The Vibranium Curtain, Part 2", Klaw helps the Vulture escape from prison in exchange for vibranium. Vulture immediately turns on Klaw when things go bad, and when Klaw protests they had a deal, he says his part of the deal was to give him the vibranium, which he did. When the heroes defeat ''him'' he starts screaming for Klaw to help him, since they had a deal. |

| 77 | * Memorably in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', ComicBook/TheJoker dumps a random reporter into the same vat of chemicals that he was dumped in. After said reporter becomes ComicBook/TheCreeper, he tracks the Joker down and starts harassing the poor guy, and starts hitting on Harley Quinn like there's no tomorrow. Hypocritical for two reasons. One, the Creeper's one-sided crush is ''exactly'' like Harley Quinn's crush on the Joker. Two, eventually, the Joker is on his knees begging Batman to put him in Arkham because, in the Joker's words, "HE'S A LUNATIC!" That's right. The Joker called someone a lunatic. The latter also happens in the earlier episode "Joker's Favor". When faced with an explosives-wielding Charlie Collins who seems poised to give him an utterly inglorious death, the Joker exclaims "You're crazy!" Charlie replies, "I had a good teacher!" |
| 78 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheBeatles'' episode "Hold Me Tight," a policeman interrogates George and Ringo about a man they thought had a bomb with which to blow up the Statue of Liberty (turns out it was just a sandwich). When George stammers that he thought the guy was a foreign spy, the policeman -- in stereotypical [[OfficerOHara Irish brogue]] --tells George "That's no Texas twang ''you've'' got, buster!" |
| 79 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'': |
| 80 | ** In a WhatIf episode where Gwen found the Omnitrix instead, Ben spends the whole day criticizing her goofing out with it, which is exactly what ''he'' does. |
| 81 | ** In the ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien Ultimate Alien]]'' episode "Hero Time", Captain Nemesis imitates Ben's TransformationNameAnnouncement after watching Ben do it as Four Arms. |
| 82 | --->'''Four Arms:''' Why are you shouting your name out? It's stupid. |
| 83 | * ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': In "Green Streets" when Cricket realizes a litterbug is trashing the city, he convinces Keys to toughen up and imprison that litterbug for life. But when he realizes ''he'' was the litterbug all along, he quickly rethinks his decision. |
| 84 | * ''WesternAnimation/BobbysWorld'': When at the hospital waiting for the twins to be born,an expectant father receives news that he has also had twins. Teddie then proceeds to tell him about a cousin who went through the same thing(three years with no sleep,hair loss,eventually ending up in a mental hospital....). When Howard comes out and announces the twins'birth,Teddie starts to heap congratulations on him,going so far as to call the birth a "double blessing". |
| 85 | * ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': In "Bed and Breakfast", one of Linda's guests is an entomologist named Javed who keeps calling [[ControlFreak Linda]] crazy... while talking to his collection of beetles. |
| 86 | * In the [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS1E01TheBojackHorsemanStoryChapterOne first episode]] of ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'', [=BoJack=] tells Diane Nguyen that his rival Mr. Peanutbutter (who's a dog) has a DomCom called ''Mr. Peanutbutter's House''[[note]]about an animal adopting three orphans[[/note]], which [=BoJack=] remarks that it's a stupid idea for a sitcom, although his sitcom ''Horsin' Around'' has a similar premise. |
| 87 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' makes frequent use of it, right from the very first episode: |
| 88 | -->'''Granddad:''' Y'all need to start appreciating your granddaddy! I went and spent your inheritance on this beautiful house in this neighborhood! And all I ask you to do is act like you got some class...\ |
| 89 | '''Riley:''' Ay, what's "class"?\ |
| 90 | '''Huey:''' It means don't act like niggas.\ |
| 91 | '''Granddad:''' See! That's what I'm talking about right there! We don't use the N-word in this house!\ |
| 92 | '''Huey:''' Granddad, you said the word "nigga" 47 times yesterday. I counted.\ |
| 93 | '''Granddad:''' Nigga, hush! |
| 94 | * ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'': |
| 95 | ** "Rescue Mission" has some very hideous alien customers complain about being grossed out by finding bugs in their food. |
| 96 | ** In "Holiday Time", when Buzz points out that belief in the holiday spirit is something that XR must decide for himself, he then tells XR that he must believe and that's an order. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[folder:C]] |
| 100 | * In the ''{{WesternAnimation/Centaurworld}}'' episode "The Key", Horse tries to explain who her rider is to the rest of the herd, who have never seen a human -- when she mentions how her rider would sit on top of her, Ched interrupts by saying that sounds stupid... while he's riding on top of Durpleton's head. |
| 101 | * In ''WesternAnimation/CentralPark'', Season 1 "[[Recap/CentralParkS1E4GarbageBallet Garbage Ballet]]", Cole spends the entire day trying to stop Paige from killing any rats in their home and tells them they don't deserve to die. But when Paige and Cole sees a swarm of rats in their basement and they run out in terror, Cole doesn't care about the rats anymore and wants them all dead. |
| 102 | * ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'': |
| 103 | ** In one episode a ShapeShifting alien impersonates Dale and the others need to SpotTheImposter. Dale then exposes the alien by showing him his favorite food, upon which the alien forgets everything, loses the disguise, and runs for the food. Upon seeing this, Monty comments: "Disgusting the way some people lose control". This is coming from a character whose RunningGag is being addicted to cheese, which oftentimes gets him and others into trouble ("Mind Your Cheese and Q's" best illustrates this). |
| 104 | ** This similar scenario also happened on the episode "Chocolate Chips" where Dale smells chocolate and goes into the same cheese-attack style trance that Monty does (with Monty saying the same thing about how he hates it when other people lose control of themselves over food). |
| 105 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'': |
| 106 | ** From "Love Rollercoaster": |
| 107 | --> '''Roberta:''' I need to update my Facebook page with these slammin' pictures of me in my new bikini.\ |
| 108 | '''Cleveland:''' Facebook is a joke. You know who is my "friend" on Facebook? Margaret Cho. A woman I have not met, nor wish to ever meet, is somehow a friend of mine. Puh-lease! I also don't need your stupid status updates. "Ooh, Betsy Sherman is excited to watch ''Series/{{Heroes}}''!" Go suck an egg, Betsy!\ |
| 109 | You know what? I need to Twitter that! [''Takes out phone''] "Go... suck... an egg... Betsy. |
| 110 | ** On the episode "Mr. and Mrs. Brown", Junior and Rallo are each accused of stealing a chocolate bar and are [[GoToYourRoom sentenced to mock house arrest]], Junior selects the Judy Blume book ''Literature/{{Blubber}}'' and remarks about the eponymous character being overweight despite Junior ironically being heavy himself. |
| 111 | --->'''Junior:''' ''Blubber'' (''giggles'') What a fat-ass!' |
| 112 | *** Earlier in the same episode, Cleveland decides to play football with a group of other men, Roberta points out that Cleveland he would get winded just opening his e-mail, Junior then cracks up laughing and struggles to catch his breath. |
| 113 | ** In another episode, Cleveland's dad Freight Train begins bonding with Junior and spoils him with his betting earnings. Freight Train refers to Cleveland as [[Franchise/StarWars "Jabba The Gut"]] to which Cleveland states that Junior weighs more than he does; Freight Train scolds Cleveland for commenting about Junior's weight. |
| 114 | * ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'': |
| 115 | ** One of [[GrumpyOldMan Eustace]] [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals Bagge]]'s main [[RunningGag running gags]] is to yell "[[CatchPhrase STUPID DOG! YOU MAKE ME LOOK BAD!]]" at Courage despite being an [[TooDumbToLive extremely stupid man]] that [[DirtyCoward makes Courage look bad]]. |
| 116 | ** Also, [[AsianRudeness Di]] [[NouveauRiche Lung]]'s main [[RunningGag running gag]] is to yell "[[CatchPhrase WATCH WHERE YOU'RE]] ''[[CatchPhrase GOING]]'', [[YouFool YA]] '''''[[YouFool FOOL]]'''''" at people, [[NotMeThisTime usually]] while clearly being the one who needs to pay attention to his surroundings (between him and the people that he yells said catchphrase at) in the process. |
| 117 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'': |
| 118 | ** In the episode "Sherman, Woman and Child", Duke Phillips is impressed with Alice not being an unflattering Southern stereotype. After he says this, the wall opens up to reveal Country Bears-esque animatronics who proclaim they like to drink moonshine. |
| 119 | ** In the first episode, Jay begs his girlfriend to not leave him then sees another man begging to his girlfriend and comments "What a loser." |
| 120 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' episode "Road Stories", Caprice and Granny are caught by police for scamming their world voyage on a reality game TV show. They also committed other crimes including unintentionally keeping a zoo's stolen penguins, due to Caprice's brother hiding himself and his stolen penguins (which were saved from being sold to a laboratory) in their van. To render themselves innocent to the rest of the world, Caprice delivers a speech saying they kidnapped the penguins to stop animal cruelty and remind viewers to love animals. Afterwards, one of the penguins hugs Caprice, to which [[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty it disgusts her and throws it to the van]], upsetting the viewers before the suspects go to prison. |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder:D]] |
| 124 | * ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' has this little gem. Chris and Dan are working at a mall, and Chris sees Elise doing some Christmas shopping, so he decides to spy on her. |
| 125 | -->'''Chris:''' I'm going to go see what [Elise] is getting me for Christmas.\ |
| 126 | '''Dan:''' Chris, that's not in the Christmas spirit. Now come and help me annihilate Santa. |
| 127 | * ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': |
| 128 | ** "Fright Night" has Jack Fenton, who wears an orange jumpsuit 24/7, ask this about Tucker going trick-or-treating. |
| 129 | -->'''Jack Fenton''': Isn't he a little old to be walking around in public in a stupid costume? |
| 130 | ** In "Maternal Instinct", Jack responds to his wife Maddie lamenting on how she misses spending time with their son Danny when he was younger by pointing out that all children have to grow up sometime, then goes back to playing with toys of himself and a ghost. |
| 131 | -->'''Jack Fenton''': Curse you, Jack Fenton! You've defeated me once again! Haha! |
| 132 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': This situation is most relevant in the episode "Lucky Strike", in where Ms. Li accuses Daria of telling her Mom on her and forcing the Principal on firing one of the substitute teachers in the legal fashion. Ms. Li did make Daria into the 2nd substitute teacher replacement by the way. |
| 133 | -->'''Ms. Li''': If someone asked me to teach a class, I'd be honored. Besides, we wouldn't be in this fix if it weren't for your mother.\ |
| 134 | '''Daria''': Yeah, hire one pedophile and she gets all bent out of shape. Besides, I'm not thinking of me. I'm thinking of the children. |
| 135 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode "Ghoul of my Dreams," who complains about Darkwing crashing his motorcycle into a lamppost? None other than Disney's most legendary CaptainCrash Launchpad [=McQuack=] ("If it's got wings, I can crash it!")! |
| 136 | * In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'', Fang claims that she's "[[{{Catchphrase}} not a monkey!]]". Fang then spots bananas on a tree and jumps up and down like a monkey. |
| 137 | * The ''[[WesternAnimation/TheDeputyDawgShow Deputy Dawg]]'' cartoon "The Yoke's On You" has Muskie Muskrat reading the sign on the hen house fence out loud -- "Keep Out, This Means You" -- then turning to the camera and saying "Now ol' Deputy Dawg knows I can't read writin'!" |
| 138 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow'': In "The Elephant Caper", Joe Jitsu pretends to be a hotel bellhop delivering water and hay to the room where Sketch Paree and the Mole are holding a foreign dignitary's elephant for ransom. When Joe slips a note under the door that says "No tip, no delivery," Sketch grouses "These bellhops. All they think about is money!" |
| 139 | * ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'': "WesternAnimation/CuredDuck" has Donald trying to get back in Daisy's good graces after a particularly destructive temper tantrum on Don's part. After managing to cure himself with the help of a mail-order "temper machine", Donald cheeses Daisy off by laughing at her garish new hat, whereupon Daisy loses ''her'' temper and gives Donald [[ViolenceDiscretionShot a savage, off-screen beating]]. |
| 140 | * Used extensively on ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', in conjunction with its excessive amounts of racial jabs. For example, after foiling the Board of Education's evil plan to make black people fail their SAT tests by distracting them with grape-menthol flavored pencils (itself a parody of a well-known conspiracy theory), Foxxy proclaims that [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough no one would be stupid enough]] to fall for such a thing. Needless to say, she has an entire box of said pencils in her mouth before the end of the episode. |
| 141 | * The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/DrZitbagsTransylvaniaPetShop'', "Welcome to the Transylvania Pet Shop", has a scene where Dr. Zitbag talks to himself and says that he can't be crazy because crazy people talk to themselves. |
| 142 | [[/folder]] |
| 143 | |
| 144 | [[folder:E]] |
| 145 | * ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'': |
| 146 | ** At the end of the intro to “The Book Of Doom”, after Jim and Peter [[HoistByHisOwnPetard use the “microscopic” size that Psycrow has shrunk them to]] to [[FantasticVoyagePlot fly into one of his ear canals]] and then [[BrainWithAManualControl take control over his brain in order to make him dance]], Peter tells Jim that “[[TalksLikeASimile once again, villainy is as a bug beneath his mighty heel]]”; surely enough, one of Psycrow’s [[GiantFootOfStomping massive feet]] [[LaserGuidedKarma crushes both him and Jim]] not even a minute later. |
| 147 | * ''WesternAnimation/EdgarAndEllen'': |
| 148 | ** In "Scam Artist Shuffle", the twins are robbed and chase after the person who took their money while yelling "Stop! Thief!" The reason they even had that money in the first place was because they successfully scammed a bunch of people into giving it to them. |
| 149 | ** In one episode, Edgar and Ellen launch a pie in [[AlphaBitch Stephanie]]'s face and have a lengthy conversation about the technique they used to pull it off while ignoring Stephanie. When Stephanie interrupts their conversation to yell at them, they accuse her of "being rude". |
| 150 | [[/folder]] |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[folder:F]] |
| 153 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' had a (probably) unintentional example during the "WesternAnimation/ChannelChasers" movie in which they had a scene mocking ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' also giving it a not-so subtle TakeThat with "Is every adult in this show a moron?". After all we all know how intelligent the adults can be in this show. |
| 154 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': |
| 155 | ** You can find Hypocritical Humor right in the opening song. As any longtime viewer of the show knows, it has all of the things they're complaining about ("violence in movies and sex on TV") and none of the things they're praising ("good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely"). |
| 156 | ** In "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air", Cleveland criticises the ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' cutaways for being stupid and irrelevant, even though stupid and irrelevant cutaways make up a good amount of any ''Family Guy'' episode (which they lampshade a moment later with a cutaway of Hitler juggling fish while on a unicycle). However, the cutaway later gets worked into the show properly, and Peter points out the subversion, saying "See? We had a plan for that all along." |
| 157 | ** The first ''Franchise/StarWars'' [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou parody episode]] includes Peter as Han Solo[=/=]Creator/HarrisonFord, introducing himself as the "only actor whose career wasn't destroyed by this movie." This despite the fact that Creator/CarrieFisher was voicing a recurring character in other episodes, and Creator/MarkHamill (who reportedly took offense to that line) has been a somewhat prolific and acclaimed voice actor at least since TheNineties. [[FridgeBrilliance That could just be]] a very subtle and GeniusBonus form of SelfDeprecation, another form of humor ''Family Guy'' revels in. |
| 158 | ** The Thanksgiving episode where Brian asks Ida Quagmire how she's feels about Kevin Swanson's [[spoiler: desertion from the army]] saying "she's the only one who understands what it is truly like." We get this little gem. |
| 159 | --->'''Ida:''' No, Brian, I do not understand Kevin's choice and I do not support it.\ |
| 160 | '''Brian:''' Okay, well that's just some dumb drag queen. |
| 161 | ** In the episode "He's Too Sexy for his Fat", Lois is furious that Peter is going to great lengths to make himself handsome instead of accepting who he is while he pushes Chris away (Chris is trying to lose weight), but Lois quickly gives in to her horny temptations as she stares at Peter's sexy and chiseled ass. Brian calls her out on it, which causes Lois to ask if she is a bad person. Brain simply says that yes she is. This gets dropped quickly when Peter's jerkass levels shoot up and becomes more narcissistic. |
| 162 | ** When Peter gets a vasectomy and stops having sex with Lois, Lois gains a ton of weight to fill the void of not having sex. Peter takes notice and starts making fun of Lois being fat. Lois calls Peter out on being such a hypocrite since he was always obese, but Peter being Peter says "Lois, men aren't fat. [[InsaneTrollLogic Only fat women are fat]]!" |
| 163 | ** In "Mother Tucker" Tom Tucker dates Thelma and acts as Peter's dad. In the end he realizes that he can't make Jake share his father with him and tells Tom to spend time with his real son. Peter concludes that he learned something about parenting and then tells Chris to leave him alone. |
| 164 | ** In "Halloween On Spooner Street", Lois gets angry at Chris because his Creator/BillCosby costume uses blackface, which she deems racist. She then tells him to go put on the Indian headdress she made for him. |
| 165 | ** In "Quagmire's Dad", Brian is complaining that no one is asking him about his time at the seminar he was just at. When Meg asks him just that, Brian turns her away. |
| 166 | ** In "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire", there's a cutaway where Cleveland and Quagmire are dressed as the Ferstrunk Brothers from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s "Two Wild & Crazy Guys" skit at a laundromat, then Peter walks in dressed as a Film/{{Conehead|s}} and tells them "You guys look stupid." |
| 167 | ** In “An App A Day”, [[DirtyOldMan Herbert]] judges Chris for being a sex offender, despite he’s worse than Chris. |
| 168 | ** When Brian goes door to door to sign a petition to legalize gay marriage, [[DirtyOldMan Herbert]] calls him a "pervert". |
| 169 | %%* Fully described and illustrated via live-action footage by ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''. |
| 170 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': |
| 171 | ** From "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" |

At which point their drink orders are revealed as, respectively, an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Palmer_(drink) Arnold Palmer]], a Cherry Coke, a ''decaf soy latte'', and a glass of milk. The other Rogues look at Captain Cold (who ordered the milk) oddly, as if his order were the only odd one out (he explains that his ulcer has been acting up), turning what would otherwise be a good example of FrothyMugsOfWater into a stellar example of this trope. This of course, ignores the bonus pun about Mirror Master's use of vernacular; mirrors are generally not hard at all. |
| 243 | ** In the same episode, [[CloudCuckoolander Trickster]] prefaces his plan to kill Flash by saying it's "nothing as stupid as a giant boomerang," a direct jab at Captain Boomerang's just-failed plan.

| 259 | * ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': |
| 260 | ** After Hank's been MistakenForRacist, the church congregation tries to tell Hank that bigotry and intolerance is wrong by singing around a cross on Hank's lawn. |
| 261 | ** In another episode Hank and Peggy argue about Bobby's strange behavior and that he will never fully grow up because of Peggy's constant babying him, at the end of the argument she says "I do not baby him!", a couple seconds later she turns to Bobby and says in baby talk "Who wants a hot fudge sundae?!". |
| 262 | ** In "To Kill A Ladybird" Hank and Bobby visit a pet store to get medicine for Ladybird, Bobby wants to get a frisby for Bandit a raccoon he "adopted" as a pet, Hank makes Bobby put it back saying how much the store overprices those things then moments later asks a clerk how much it would cost to put Ladybird's picture on a coffee mug. |
| 263 | ** Heck, much of the humor from Hank's character is built around hypocritical humor, namely in how he'll approve of something if it involves Ladybird, propane, beer, or football that he would never, ever approve of otherwise. |
| 264 | ** One episode reveals that the football team who beat Hank and friends' team in the championships comes back every year on the anniversary of the game to [[UnsportsmanlikeGloating gloat and harass them]]. Hank gets so frustrated with this that he [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether reunites the team]] and challenges their rivals to a rematch. Hank's team wins, and the end of the episode shows that ''they'' began engaging in exactly the same kind of gloating. |
| 265 | ** In "The Arrowhead", Hank finds a Native American arrowhead on his lawn and asks John Redcorn how much he thinks it's worth. Redcorn very severely tells Hank that it's wrong to take another man's property...when suddenly Nancy, Dale's wife, says "ComeBackToBedHoney" from inside the house.

| 269 | * Commonly used (along with every other broad humor trope known to man) in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': |
| 270 | ** In the early WesternAnimation/BugsBunny short "Elmer's Pet Rabbit", Bugs Bunny says he'll ''chomp'' starve before he ''chomp chomp'' eats the carrots and ''chomp'' lettuce that's ''chomp chomp chomp'' been put out for him. "You'll ''chomp'' be sorry then!" |
| 271 | ** WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn does this sometimes in regards to being a MotorMouth. One notable example is in "A Fractured Leghorn," in which he spends much of the cartoon pushing a cat around, ranting and lecturing to him and telling him he's talking too much. When, at the end, the cat finally snaps and yells at him to shut up while whacking him with a large tin can, he agrees to do so, adding, "I'm not one that has to keep talkin'...some fellas just have to keep their mouths flappin', but not me..." He continues holding forth in this manner, even stopping the picture from [[IrisOut irising out]] in the process. |
| 272 | *** Sylvester does the same thing in "Crowing Pains." Leghorn launches into a lecture about him talking too much, and after several failed attempts to interrupt, he yells at him to shut up while whacking him in the head with a headless axe (that is, a wooden stick). |
| 273 | *** In "Bugs and Thugs", Bugs does the same thing as a stalling tactic, prompting Rocky to snap, "Shut up shuttin' up!" (Also used in the Bugs-Yosemite Sam cartoon "The Fair-Haired Hare".) |
| 274 | ** "A Pest in the House" has WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as a hotel bellhop who repeatedly awakens a tired, ill-tempered guest, leading to said guest repeatedly coming down to the lobby and punching desk clerk Elmer Fudd in the nose. At one point Elmer comes up to the man's room himself to muffle a whistling heat register, and Daffy gives him a dressing-down that gets louder and louder, as the sleeping man begins to stir and Elmer begs him to be quiet: |
| 275 | --->'''Daffy''': So! A fine kettle of fish! Here I work myself down to the skin and bones trying to keep this guy asleep, and what do ''you'' do? Blow whistles! Just when I've got things so quiet you could hear a pin drop, you bust in here and bust out with a whistle, and you snafu the whole works! How in the name of all that's reasonable do you expect a guy to get his slumber, when a goof like you goes around making noises like a one-man Fourth of July celebration? He needs PEACE, and QUI-YEEETT! IT'S POSITIVELY OUTRAGEOUS!!! |
| 276 | ** Whenever Daffy has been allowed to reference his Creator/{{Disney}} counterpart, WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck (In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' and a 1989 commercial for the Warner Bros. catalogue), he always complains about the other duck's speech impediment in a way that usually highlights his own (Granted, Daffy's lisp is a lot easier to understand than Donald's usually [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] warbling). |
| 277 | ** The three WesternAnimation/PepeLePew cartoons that end with Pepe being chased by the painted cat ("WesternAnimation/ForScentimentalReasons," "WesternAnimation/LittleBeauPepe," and "WesternAnimation/ReallyScent"). The first two actually have lines of Pepe begging the painted cat to control herself. |
| 278 | ** In a Road Runner tv show pilot, one kid admits he likes imagining he's the Road Runner. The other kid tells him that daydreaming is "a bad habit" -- as they stare goggle-eyed and unmoving in front of the TV set. |
| 279 | ** In "Super Rabbit" after Bugs receives superpowers he flies past a horse that happens to be walking in the sky; after passing him the horse comments, "A rabbit, up here!?" |
| 280 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': |
| 281 | ** Despite their annoyance at Luan's puns, this doesn't stop the others from making their own puns. Lincoln also laughs at the puns in the "Ace Savvy" comics. |
| 282 | ** In "A Tale of Two Tables", the Loud parents prohibit Lincoln from eating at the grown-up table on account of immature behavior, when they themselves are not above said behavior. |
| 283 | ** In "The Write Stuff", Principal Huggins insists Rita to teach the writing club by reading from the rule book, but it's enough to even bore him to sleep after a while. |

| 287 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': |
| 288 | ** Unsatisfied with the sound of their latest song, the band complains to their producer, claiming that as musicians, they have very sensitive hearing. As they explain this to him, it becomes apparent that they can't quite distinguish each other's voices from one another. |
| 289 | ** From the opening scene of the first episode: Their chef offers them a bottle of wine, to which Nathan replies "We never drink before a show. NEVER." Except the other 4 are already drinking, and Nathan joins them. |
| 290 | ** The members of Dethklok all agree "Pickles really has a [drinking] problem." True, but this is said while each of them is nursing like twenty beers. |
| 291 | ** Then there was the instance where they were doing some remodeling at Mordhaus and Nathan complains that he can't think because of all that racket -- [[LoudOfWar and so he drowns out the sounds of sawing and jackhammering with some]] HeavyMetal music which sounds almost exactly the same. "There, that's better." |
| 292 | ** In "Dethcarraldo", [[YouNoTakeCandle Skwisgaar]] didn't want to spend time with Nathan's South American Indian relatives, because they didn't "speak goods Spanglish". |
| 293 | ** Another Skwisgaar one: Skwisgaar was traumatized as a child because his deadbeat mother, Serveta, ignored him to have sex with random men, and any attempts to find his biological father have proved fruitless. Skwisgaar deals with the trauma by...having sex with random groupies, some of which have gotten pregnant, and has many, many illegitimate children of his own. The DoubleStandard seems to have been lost on him. |
| 294 | * In the 2013 ''WesternAnimation/{{Mickey Mouse|2013}}'' short "[[Recap/MickeyMouseS1E1NoService No Service]]", Goofy criticizes people who don't comply with his restaurant's [[DressCode No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service]] policy, saying they have no class. Yet he scratches his belly button at the end of the cartoon and earlier, he is seen swatting a bug with the same spatula he uses to flip the customers' food with. |
| 295 | * Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB''; the first part of a segment is Bessie's dog, Happy, getting treatment from a vet for a skinned knee. After the usual kicking and screaming, they head next door for the doctor to treat Bessie's skinned knee. Turns out that she's just in time for a booster shot. After fighting much worse than her dog did, she finally gets the shot while trying to escape through the sink. After the shot, she launches into the usual "See Happy, that didn't hurt a -- okay, yeah, that ''hurts''..." |
| 296 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' short "Goons from the Moon", the radio announcer informing everyone in Terrytown about the alien cats invading at one point repeatedly hollers "Don't panic" to his audience while visibly frantic and smoking a lot of cigarettes at once. |

[[BetaBitch Sabrina]] agrees... and then both ''immediately'' turn their attention to their smartphones. |
| 298 | * ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': In the episode "[[Recap/MollyOfDenaliS1E23SealDanceSnowboardingQyahStyle Seal Dance]]," Grandpa Nat assures Molly that her mother has everything under control during a bit of turbulence—then immediately grips his own seat in fear when more turbulence hits. |
| 299 | * ''WesternAnimation/MonstersAtWork'': In "The Big Wazowskis", Mike Wazowski complains about Gary Gibbs naming his bowling team, the Garys, after himself despite doing the same by calling his own team the Big Wazowskis. |
| 300 | * Happens all the time in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' but one of the most notable [[CerebusSyndrome (comedic)]] examples would have to be the exchange between Clay Puppington and Art Posabule after arguing over the correct version of the Lord's Prayer: |
| 301 | -->'''Mark Posubule:''' Forgive your ''debtors''!\ |
| 302 | '''Clay Puppington:''' Forgive your ''trespassers''!\ |
| 303 | '''Mark Posubule:''' You owe me a bottle of wine!\ |
| 304 | '''Clay Puppington:''' ''Get off my property!'' |
| 305 | * ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'': |
| 306 | ** "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Dark?" has Gonzo make fun of Fozzie for sleeping with a teddy bear, but he's forced to stop when Fozzie finds his stuffed chicken Camilla. |

| 308 | ** The "Go Bye Bye" segment of "Six-to-Eight Weeks" has Gonzo try to think of weird stuff that he could include in his clubhouse. One idea he comes up with is talking furniture, an idea which is shut down because talking furniture doesn't exist. The claim so happens to have been made by talking furniture. |
| 309 | * ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018'': In "The Mystery of the Missing Pearls", Piggy took her mother's pearls for the babies' fancy party without asking, thinking it would be okay because her mother wasn't using them. When they go missing, she and Summer Penguin PI invesigate, discovering various other things needed for the party have also gone missing. Everywhere they stop, Piggy takes something, telling Summer it's fine because nobody's using it. When it turns out that Gonzo took all the missing things, and he explains that he thought it was okay because nobody was using them, it's Piggy who tells him that you always have to ask before you borrow something. The others, of course, call her on this. |
| 310 | * At the end of the ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' episode "Teenage Mutant Ninja Troubles", Brad points out that heroes should never use their powers for personal gain or revenge. He then asks Jenny to use her abilities to help him get back at his brother Tuck by supergluing his toys to the ceiling. |

| 340 | ** PlayedForDrama in a later episode, AlphaBitch Amity Blight said she was trying to figure [[NiceGirl Luz]] out and ultimately concludes that Luz's deal [[{{Psychological Projection}} is that]] [[{{MoralMyopia}} she is]] [[{{Hypocrite}} a bully]], a minute later when Luz tries to talk to her to explain herself and make up, Amity then states that she doesn't get Luz as [[EvilCannotComprehendGood she wants to be her friend after embarrassing her]] further indicating that despite her previous comment she doesn't understand or know Luz at all. What makes it even more ironic is that those incidents [[NeverMyFault were mainly caused by Amity herself]], Luz wanted to reconcile with Amity and said she never meant to humiliate her, something she told her [[AesopAmnesia a couple episodes ago]] and that [[IJustWantToHaveFriends Amity is very lonely and wants a genuine friendship]] but [[HerOwnWorstEnemy her antagonistic attitude prevents her from establishing real connections]]. |

| 347 | * On ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', there was a sign in the park advertising a 4K run for charity: "Help us to put an end to signs in the park." |
| 348 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'', after Candace mentions the possibility of a "mysterious force" being responsible for Phineas and Ferb's contraptions disappearing, Stacy denies it with this: |
| 349 | --->'''Stacy:''' I'm still not buying it; I am a woman of science...at least that's what my horoscope said. |
| 350 | ** In the Halloween special "Night of the Living Pharmacists", Stacy is seen watching a horror movie and comments about a girl in the movie being oblivious to the apocalype, whereas Stacy herself is completely oblivious to the ZombieApocalypse outside. |

| 358 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies1980s'' episode "The Invisible Friend", Whopper at one point claims that he hates puppies who tell fibs. This is coming from a puppy who always tells tall tales and often embellishes the details of his stories to the point that they're obviously a load of bologna. |
| 359 | * This is one of the staple forms of comedy in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''. Repeat offenders include the Mayor, the Professor, and the Girls themselves. |
| 360 | ** In "Paste Makes Waste", Elmer Sglue is teased by his classmates for being a PasteEater. [[ThePigpen Harry Pitt]] tells him he's gross while flies circle him, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerpuff/images/c/c6/JulieBean.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170305232328 Julie Bean]] comments he looks like a dummy, and Wes Goingon points out "what a sick habit" while picking his nose. |

| 364 | --->'''Mojo Jojo:''' I do not talk like that! The way I communicate is much different! I do not reiterate, repeat, reinstate the same thing over and over again! I am clear! Concise! To the point! |

| 375 | ** In yet another episode, Mordecai and Rigby play Dig Champs, where Mordecai picks player one, who has a shovel, leaving Rigby with player two, who has a "sucky" pickaxe. |
| 376 | --->'''Mordecai:''' Dude, I'm player one. You're player two.\ |
| 377 | '''Rigby:''' I don't wanna be player two! He just digs with a sucky pickaxe! I want the one with the ''shovel!''\ |

| 383 | ** In "Ren's Toothache", right after Ren's teeth had rotted to non-existence and putrid fumes pouring out from his mouth, four flies start complaining about the god-awful smell... after they were driven away from eating at Stimpy's litter box earlier! |
| 384 | ** In "Son of Stimpy" (a.k.a. "Stimpy's First Fart"), Stimpy's talking boogers think he's crazy... because "he talks to ''farts'', man"! |
| 385 | * ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': |
| 386 | ** While fending off against a group of purgers, Rick orders Morty to hand him a weapon, Morty then gives Rick a spoon, which Rick uses to kill the last purger. Rick then berates Morty for handing him a item that he claims is incapable of killing anything. |
| 387 | ** "Raising Gazorpazorp": Beth and Jerry, both shitty parents in their own right (to the point that Summer begs for the police to take her to school after (accidentally) getting a black eye from Beth's wine bottle), criticizing Morty for his attempts in raising Morty Jr. and his calling them out for their own lackluster parenting. |
| 388 | ** In "The [=ABCs=] of Beth", after Jerry breaks up with an alien warrior woman, he confesses that he was just dating her to make Beth jealous after their divorce. She then chews out Jerry while calling humanity selfish and dishonest, only for ''her'' ex to show up in the middle of her rant and question her presence in his hunting grounds. |
| 389 | ** In "Morty's Mind Blowers", Rick and Morty are stranded on a planet with nights cold enough to kill them in seconds. Morty suggests seeking shelter in a nearby cave, to which Rick tells him he's seen too many movies... Right before he kills their LoyalAnimalCompanion and [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack slides himself into its guts for warmth]]. [[spoiler:For added hilarity, this turns out to be completely unnecessary, as Rick was mistaken as to which planet they were actually on]]. |
| 390 | ** In the Season 4 premiere, after the death crystal poachers show up and get into a shootout with the main duo, Rick expresses disgust that there are people like them who would want to steal the crystals...even though this was apparently exactly what Rick and Morty themselves were doing when the poachers showed up. |

| 396 | ** Angelica often mocks the babies for being immature, usually followed by her showing she's just as immature, if not moreso. |
| 397 | ** In "[[Recap/RugratsS1E11TouchdownTommyTheTrial The Trial]]", Angelica explains the different roles in the courtroom. When she mentions that Tommy will be the judge, the babies ask if she means the fudge. Angelica says that the judge is the proper term and wonders why they don't talk right. She then states that teddy bears will act as the jerky. When they ask if she meant jury, she tells them she used the proper term again. |
| 398 | ** In "[[Recap/RugratsS9E11BabySaleSteve Baby Sale]]", Didi and Kira refuse to buy clothes from a store whose daycare supervisor didn't keep a close eye on their children, something that [[ParentalNeglect they and the other adults are guilty of]] on a regular basis. |
| 399 | ** Naturally, there's the babies' response of choice when one of them (usually Chuckie) starts whining, complaining, or gets scared: "Aw, quit being a baby!" |
| 400 | ** In "[[Recap/RugratsS5E9TheWildWildWestAngelicaForADay Angelica For a Day]]", a little girl demands that her father buy her some ice cream, and the father gives in. Drew sees this, laughs, and says, "I wouldn't want to be in that guy's shoes.". This is despite the fact that [[PushoverParents Drew regularly gives into the demands of his own daughter, Angelica]]. |
| 401 | ** At the beginning of the ''Literature/SnowWhite'' special from the "Tales from the Crib" series, Chuckie belittles Dil for chewing on a piece of the pop-up book Taffy is reading to the babies and Tommy remarks on how babies are always putting strange things in their mouths.

| 406 | * ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': |
| 407 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAbracadabraDoo'' Daphne asks Velma why she [Velma] doesn't hang out with her sister more often, and Velma replies that she finds Daphne too nerdy and that she over-analyzes everything. After saying that, Velma notices a powder on the floor, mistaking it for a clue, and Daphne replies that it's for her feet. |
| 408 | ** ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' |
| 409 | *** The episode "Toy Scary Boo" has Daphne, Velma and Scooby find a pink and green toy truck. Daphne comments, "Who would paint their van like that?" This is coming from someone who rides around in a teal and green van with orange flower decals. |
| 410 | *** The episode "A Scooby-Doo Valentine" has Daphne and Velma [[InstitutionalApparel wearing orange prison jumpsuits]] while being interrogated by Officer [=McBride=]. Daphne pleads that she doesn't want to go to jail because she doesn't want to wear the same clothes every day. This is funny because, as in many cartoons, the main characters of ''Scooby-Doo'' are [[LimitedWardrobe always shown wearing the same clothes]]. |
| 411 | ** In the ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndGuessWho'' episode "Quit Clowning!" guest star Kenan Thompson does an impression of Shaggy while using the word "{{like|IsLikeAComma}}" after every other word, Shaggy replies, "Like, dude, like, I don't, like, say 'like', like that much". |
| 412 | * At the end of the ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' episode "To Bleat or Not to Bleat", the Ranting Swede rants on how everyone thinks ranting is all there is to him. He even claims at the end of the sketch that he's done with ranting, when nearly every subsequent episode would have him come back to rant some more. |
| 413 | * In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/LesSisters'', Wendy and [[AlphaBitch Rachel]] fight for a dress which is on sale at the mall. Sandrine says that they shouldn't be fighting over clothes, and Rachel's mother agrees. The two mothers then proceed to get into their own fight over a jacket which was also on sale at the same mall. |
| 414 | * ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'': |
| 415 | ** In the episode, "[[Recap/SonicBoomS1E47FuzzyPuppyBuddies Fuzzy Puppy Buddies]]", this exchange occurs between Dr. Eggman and Lady Walrus when he tries to trade for Stratford's Fancy Poodle piece: |
| 416 | --->'''Dr. Eggman:''' How about this? I'll throw in my Obliterator Bot; kids love enormous, destructive robots!\ |
| 417 | '''Lady Walrus:''' ''[walks up to Eggman]'' My son can't have a giant, destructive killing machine! You know nothing about children's safety!\ |
| 418 | (''almost as if on cue, she notices Chumley swinging on a sign dangerously above the ground'')\ |
| 419 | '''Lady Walrus:''' My baby! ''[runs off]'' |
| 420 | ** In "Role Models", after Chumley tosses his bottle, [[BabySeeBabyDo imitating Sonic and his friends]] [[WastebasketBall tossing their trash into a trash can like basketballs]], Lady Walrus chastises them for being bad role models. She then takes Chumley and says, "Come on, sweetie, let's go find a precarious ledge for you to play on." |
| 421 | * The ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1981'' episode "Revenge of the Green Goblin" had a scene where Spider-Man encounters a black cat. Spidey remarks that it's a good thing he isn't superstitious, right before crossing his fingers for good luck. |
| 422 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' does this all the time, most of the time focusing around Patrick's lack of intelligence. |
| 423 | -->'''Patrick:''' Are you going to listen to a big dummy, or are you going to listen to ''me''?\ |
| 424 | '''[=SpongeBob=]:''' [[LampshadeHanging Ummm....]] |
| 425 | ** A particularly extreme example of this is in the episode "I'm With Stupid," where [=SpongeBob=] acts dumber than Patrick in order to make him look smart in front of his parents. Throughout the episode, Patrick relentlessly mocks [=SpongeBob=] for his apparent lack of intelligence. When [=SpongeBob=] confronts him about this, his hypocrisy is made apparent through this dialogue exchange: |
| 426 | --->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Patrick, I get the feeling you think I really am dumb.\ |
| 427 | '''Patrick:''' ''[wearing a t-shirt with the words 'I'm with the Dummy' written on it]'' That's just what I'd expect you to say. Dumb people are always blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. ''[starts drooling with a blank expression on his face]'' |
| 428 | ** Another entertaining one involves them getting an invitation from a land dweller but the ink runs. They comment that whoever sent this obviously [[WaterIsAir has no clue about how life under the ocean works]]. Then they promptly throw the note into a burning fire. |
| 429 | ** Another example is Kevin the sea cucumber from the episode "I'm You're Biggest Fanatic" won't let [=SpongeBob=] into his club because "he's too much of a geek". The thing is he's just as geeky as he claims [=SpongeBob=] is. |
| 430 | *** At the end of the episode, after [=SpongeBob=] turns down joining his club, Patrick says that he's glad the sponge learned an important lesson: hero worship is unhealthy. He's saying this as he's pulling a wagon with [[BrickJoke a tied up jellyfish mascot he was last seen chasing]]. |
| 431 | ** Barnacle Boy constantly calls Mermaid Man an "old coot", despite the fact that Barnacle Boy himself is also quite elderly. Though those is somewhat justifiable in that Barnacle Boy is younger than him. |
| 432 | ** Basically this scene in the episode "Pressure": |
| 433 | --->'''Patrick:''' [holding and eating popcorn] Hey! We are not chicken! [drops popcorn] Huh! My popcorn! [begins pecking at it like a chicken] |
| 434 | ** This bit from "Wet Painters": |
| 435 | --->'''Patrick:''' Wait, [=SpongeBob=]! We're not cavemen! [walks over to a computer] We have technology! [picks up the computer and angrily grunts as he smashes it on the dollar like a caveman] |
| 436 | ** Anytime Mr. Krabs calls someone else a "cheapskate" fits this trope. |
| 437 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'': |
| 438 | *** During the awards at the beginning of the movie, [=SpongeBob=] embarrasses himself by making a lot of noise. A few seconds later, he tells everybody to "shhhh." |
| 439 | *** BALD! BALD! BALD! BALD! None of the others, besides Mindy, have hair either, though their domes aren't knock-your-eyes out shiny. |
| 440 | ** "Mermaid Man Begins": [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick go to Squidward's house to watch the ''Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy'' Origin Special on his television after the power at [=SpongeBob's=] house is cut. Squidward refuses to let them in, telling them he has better things to do than to watch grown men prance around in ridiculous outfits. Squidward is then revealed to be watching a man dancing ballet on his television. |
| 441 | ** "Wet Painters:" Patrick frantically tells Spongebob to be very careful when the latter uses a screwdriver to take a lid off of a paint can. Seconds later, Patrick attempts to use an ''axe'' to open the paint can in front of him. |
| 442 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeriesS1E15TheEyeOfTheBeholder The Eye of the Beholder]]", after reviewing Commander Markel's log entry explaining his decision to beam down with his remaining crew to find his missing landing party, Kirk criticizes him for violating orders and not following the book. |
| 443 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS1E08Veritas Veritas]]", during the denouement, Freeman promises to keep the lower deckers better informed on the ship's business. She then claims that it's all classified and angrily dismisses them when they keep asking questions without giving her a chance to answer. |
| 444 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E17BountyHunters , "Bounty Hunters"]]: When they first meet, Seripas calls Ahsoka a "knee-high". A little bit later, we find out that he's a [[LittleGreenManInACan small frog-sized alien]] using a MiniMecha. |
| 445 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': Sabine Wren wears a proper Mandalorian helmet, but she still frequently refers to stormtroopers as bucketheads. |
| 446 | * ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': |
| 447 | ** In the short [[Recap/StevenUniverseS0E10VideoChat "Video Chat"]], during a Skype-call between Peridot and Steven, Lapis freaks out because she thinks Steven is trapped in Peridot's tablet. She threatens to smash the thing with a baseball bat in an attempt to free Steven, before Steven comes running in to stop her. However, as Steven isn't there anymore, Lion walks up to the laptop and knocks it on the floor, causing the call to cut out. Steven runs back in a panic because he borrowed the laptop from Connie. |
| 448 | --->'''Lapis:''' ''[still holding the bat]'' He should really be more careful with other people's stuff... |
| 449 | ** In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E28ChangeYourMind "Change Your Mind"]], [[spoiler:White Diamond demands to know why "Pink Diamond" keeps defying her and "acting like a child"... while [[VillainousBreakdown in the throes of a massive, childish temper tantrum]]]]. |
| 450 | ** In "The New Crystal Gems", Lapis compares Peridot to Pearl. Peridot, who has spent the entire episode so far on her high horse, insists she's nothing like Pearl, who's uptight and sensitive...and virtually bursts into tears at the accusation. |
| 451 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow'' |
| 452 | ** "This Forest Green" has the Abomination make fun of Egghead for being bald when he doesn't have any hair himself. Doctor Doom even points this out. |
| 453 | ** At one point in "The Ice Melt Cometh", Iron Man starts to make fun of Doctor Doom for wearing a metal suit, but stops himself when he remembers that he also wears PoweredArmor. |
| 454 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' : |
| 455 | ** One example could be found in the episode: "Cold-Blooded". The Warden and Jared investigate a serial killer's grip on the inmates, the Warden sends an unwilling Jared undercover as an inmate. When Jared come face to with the serial killer, he slips on the floor and impales his head into his own knife. After Jared confirms that he's dead, the Warden then angrily accuses Jared of killing him personally. Then the Warden abandons the mission altogether. |
| 456 | ** In “Ladies Night” the Warden tells The Mistress that his male prisoners are just as sophisticated and classy as her female prisoners, we then cut to his prisoners acting like chimpanzees and throwing feces at each other. |

| 460 | * ''WesternAnimation/TalesFromTheGooseLady'': The short "Three Bears and a Blonde" has Goldilocks call Papa Bear a jerk for telling her to leave. This is coming from a girl who had been a very rude houseguest to the Three Bears and before leaving even boasts that she's glad she broke Baby Bear's chair when she sat in it. |
| 461 | * From the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' episode "Gorilla". |
| 462 | -->'''Robin:''' I don't overuse my power. GET YOUR FEET OFF THE TABLE! SIT UP STRAIGHT! |
| 463 | * ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'': Near the end of the episode "[[FantasticVoyagePlot Beetle Romania]]", Timon becomes positively ''enraged'' by how "[[InsufferableGenius intellectually superior]]" Pumbaa starts acting (and also being) after he (Timon) sneaks into [[BrainWithAManualControl his brain]] and turns it back on; not only is Timon getting angry at someone that '''he''' caused Pumbaa to turn into, but he also is the one that normally acts smart ([[KnowNothingKnowItAll but clearly]] ''[[KnowNothingKnowItAll isn't]]'' [[KnowNothingKnowItAll smart]]) between himself and Pumbaa (in fact, he turns Pumbaa's brain back off purely because he doesn't want to admit the fact that Pumbaa has become smarter than him...and also [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything to get him to stop boasting about himself]]). Luckily, Timon is '''[[LaserGuidedKarma severely]]''' [[HoistByHisOwnPetard punished]] [[HereWeGoAgain for this]]. |
| 464 | * ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': |
| 465 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': Megatron broadcasts a speech to all Decepticons, talking about unity and freeing themselves from Autobot tyranny -- while blasting Starscream repeatedly (admittedly, Starscream ''was'' trying to kill him). |
| 466 | ** Wreck-Gar asks Scrapper "Don't you just hate it when somebody can't make up their mind?" Wreck-Gar is so suggestible that he switches mindsets when told to, no matter how much his current instructions contradict those previous instructions. |
| 467 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': |
| 468 | *** In one instant of the G1 cartoon series, Megatron allies the Decepticons with another villainous group, who decide to betray them later on. Cue Starscream yelling 'TRAITORS!!' Cue immense laughter at the irony. |
| 469 | *** In another G1 episode, Starscream allies with Shockwave, but then betrays him as soon as he can. Later, Shockwave returns the favour, only for Starscream bemoan the incident as they were "partners". |
| 470 | *** In "Ghost in the Machine", the wayward ghost of the believed-deceased Starscream comes back to haunt the Decepticons... by possessing Scourge and making him start shooting at the other Decepticons. No one else can see or hear Starscream, so everyone else thinks that he's gone nuts, up to and including their unstable, infamously deranged leader Galvatron. This leads to the notoriously AxCrazy PsychopathicManchild [[TheCaligula Galvatron]] uttering this line: |
| 471 | ---->"There is no reasoning with him! Destroy him! He's lost his mind!" |
| 472 | * Due to all the past Trollhunters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'' being trolls, though Blinky clarifies by stating that it meant they only hunt ''evil'' trolls while protecting the good trolls. |
| 473 | * ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'', which was created by Butch Hartman, uses this as well. |
| 474 | ** The episode "The Doomies" has a scene involving [[{{Shapeshifting}} the Chameleon]] where he's disguised as a parking meter to steal all of Petropolis' money. A bear puts in a subway token instead of change and the Chameleon responds with "Hey! That was a subway token! Honestly, this town is filled with crooks." |
| 475 | ** In "Guard Dog", Snaptrap and his minions initially disguises themselves as cowboys, then switch to dressing as astronauts. When asked about the costume change by one of his henchmen, Snaptrap answers that it's because dressing as cowboys is silly and immature. |

| 480 | [[folder:V]] |
| 481 | * The ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' cartoon "The Story of Flibber-O-Loo" has an extended example. When Larry gets robbed, beaten up, and left on the side of the road, the mayor and a nurse both pass him by, insisting they're far too busy to stop and help Larry. However, the mayor and the nurse clearly aren't too busy to stop and chat with each other--nor are they too busy to sing an elaborate musical number ''with lyrics about how busy they are''. |
| 482 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'': One of the first scenes of the pilot is Daphne complaining about pilot episodes containing excessive fanservice... while she and her clique are visibly naked in the gym shower. |
| 483 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is made of this trope, usually coming from Dr. Venture or Brock Samson. When Brock ("Super Kill Guy") is feeling down about killing a Mook, the solution: more killing. |
| 484 | -->'''Dr. Venture:''' ''[as his sons interrupt as he is talking with his [[YouCanNotGraspTheTrueForm supposed]] [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith father]]]'': ''Boys, Quiet! I'm trying to have a family moment here!'' |
| 485 | ** Rusty making clones or zombies provokes HypocriticalHumor from necromancer-in-residence Dr. Orpheus. At one point, he spent half an episode trying to bring Hank and Dean BackFromTheDead, then freaked out when [[spoiler:Rusty did it by activating their clones]]. |
| 486 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Visionaries}}'' episode "Lion Hunt", Leoric has been {{Shapeshifter Mode Lock}}ed into a PaletteSwap of his lion form, and the other knights believe [[MistakenForOwnMurderer this strange lion killed their leader]] and is now terrorizing the villagers, so they organize a hunt. A woman called Fletchen realizes the lion is actually Leoric and helps the Knights realize this, but doesn't know he turned into a lion on his own until the Knights explain it to her: |
