9* In ''WebAnimation/DusksDawn'' when Donut saves Star Whistle from the villain's sceptre, he shouts, "No!" like someone scolding his child rather than in despair.
10* In the buildup to ''WebAnimation/TheTransformersCombinerWars'', a number of intro videos were released describing the titular Combiners as huge threats, to the point that Optimus Prime initiated a final duel with Megatron and then went into exile out of fear of the destruction the Combiners would cause if they joined the war in earnest. Come the very first episode, and Windblade, a regular-sized Transformer, dismembers and kills one of the said Combiners almost single-handed. And not just any Combiner, but Menasor, traditionally one of the most powerful (and mentally unstable) Combiners.
11* ''WebAnimation/MangaSoprano'':
12** First of all, the translation errors, typos, and inconsistencies in the (stilted) dialogue, as well as the shoddy, phoned-in, thick-accented voice acting make the English dub hard to take seriously.
13** Even the original Japanese version isn't safe from its narmy moments, especially the stories starring Casino since the voice acting for him tries to sound as stuck up as possible but ends up making him sound like a cheerful old lady.
14** The antagonists act in dramatic, over-the-top ways no real person would do, which makes them hard to take seriously, especially when they speak out their plans to ruin the protagonist, break out in an EvilLaugh, indulge in EvilGloating to their hearts' content, or undergo a HeelFaceTurn after a speech from the protagonist.
15** Being an animation, the artists always [[BeautyEqualsGoodness make the antagonists as ugly as possible]] to contrast them to the protagonists. However, there are occasions where they end up going overboard, giving us cases like Burimi from [[https://youtu.be/xFJ6SfeLCaY "My Sister Robbed My Fiancee! However, the person who looted it was…"]] whose design is so cartoonish it clashes with the rest of the setting and borders into NonstandardCharacterDesign.
16** Some thumbnails have an illustration of the episode's antagonist making {{Psychotic Smirk}}s that make them look menacing or like they got away with ruining the protagonist's life, even going as far as altering the lightning or depicting them against a dark background to make them look as evil as possible and trick potential viewers into watching the episode. However, the speech bubbles always have any mention of the story's key details in red and one of the fonts used[[note]]which looks similar to [[https://www.dafont.com/es/linux-biolinum.font Linux Biolinum]][[/note]], on top of the aforementioned translation errors ruin the effect.
17* Done InUniverse in ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi''. Ruby puts on a play of "Red Riding Hood", but Yang, obviously not happy with her role as the grandmother, starts acting like a LargeHam, leading to a drawn out and comedic death sequence. Ruby gets fed up and yells that "The audience can't be sad if they are laughing!"
18* The book series ''Literature/ScaryStoriesToTellInTheDark'' has some terrifying and downright traumatizing stories and images. Then somebody took it upon themselves to animate the stories. Some of them are effective, but some of them... In one of the more famous stories, "Harold", Harold is terrifying in the illustration. In the animation, he looks to have a LEGO head.
19* The fictional BFOG DVD "Anti Piracy screen", seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1pnVYYxSZY here]], despite the "(Jumpscare)" in the title, is instead hilarious rather than scary, thanks to the poorly done voices, broken English (e.g. "Piracy screwed Olympic and Paralympic mascots!") This scene after the first screen is nonsensical:
20--->(Vinicius and Tom of the 2016 Rio Olympics and Paralympics is standing on a field next to a road)
21--->'''Vinicius''': Sorry, you're going home.
22--->(as he says this, the road [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext stretches suddenly]].)
23--->'''MukMuk''' (sidekick of the Vancouver 2010 mascots): [[LittleNo No]][[DullSurprise oooo.]]
24** The second screen and the jumpscare fails to be scary, thanks again to the [[StylisticSuck poorly-done]] visuals, and Soohorang sounds like he's about to [[Platform/GoAnimate ground]] the [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou viewer.]]
