10	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' one episode has the six characters tell each other their most embarrassing secrets. Caitlin blabs to her boyfriend about all their secrets with the exception of hers, explaining that she couldn't ruin their relationship. When said boyfriend becomes hypnotized and blabs to the entire mall about it, her friends, as expected, were not too happy with her.
11	** In another episode, Wyatt composed a song about how important his friends are to him for a contest being held at the mall. When none of them show up to hear it due to various reasons, except for Nikki who is asleep, Wyatt changes the lyrics to vent out his anger. Just about every single person who heard the song would tear into Caitlin and the others for being bad friends. On the flip side, Jen and the others proceed to call Wyatt out for having humiliated them.
12	%% -A-
13	* The protagonists of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' get a lot of these, but most of them can be shrugged off due to the protagonists being very young. Finn is a young teenage boy who was raised by dogs, and Princess Bubblegum is a very young princess who holds the responsibility of ruling a large kingdom... and Jake is a dog. Notable examples for Finn are when he hurts all of those creatures in "Another Way," and in "Too Young," where he beats up Lemongrab and makes him cry. (Lemongrab was being an obnoxious, tyrannical asshole, but not on purpose, and he never physically hurt anybody.) Jake is a klepto, and occasionally makes statements that suggest murder, letting people burn alive, enslaving a group of mutants, and various forms of black humor.
14	** In "You Made Me!". Lemongrab tells off Princess Bubblegum for isolating him, and the princess realizes her mistakes, feels terrible, and tries to help the poor guy. She ends up creating a companion for him, and [[spoiler:he ends up eating him]].
15	** One of the biggest is when Finn sets up a fight between Flame Princess and Ice King just to get a pleasurable dream.
16	** With the reveal is that despite her young appearance, [[Really700YearsOld Bubblegum is actually centuries old]], many of her morally questionable actions are shown not to be due to inexperience, but [[PragmaticHero pure pragmatism]]. Some of the ethically dubious actions she's partaken in include sacrificing the lives of individuals, locking children away for years, and ''genocide''.
17	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Gumball and Darwin give and receive their fair share of these.
18	** From "The Limit":
19	--->'''Darwin''': We should make cardboard cutouts of ourselves, set the car on fire, and throw it off a cliff to teach mom a lesson!\
20	''[Gumball and Anais silently stare at him, horrified]''\
21	'''Gumball''': I have a better, less ''horrific'' idea.
22	*** Later in the same episode, Nicole declares that Richard has "pushed her past the limit" by actively encouraging the kids to shoplift.
23	** In "The Saint", after Gumball sells Alan's parents into slavery:
24	--->'''Gumball''': Is it possible I've gone too far?\
25	'''Darwin''': No, no, no. You went too far ''ages'' ago. Now, you're going to prison.
26	** A non-Watterson example in "The Law", when the Donut Sheriff lets [[RichBitch Felicity Parham]] off with a warning even though she's clearly still dangerous.
27	-->'''Gumball''': Are you ''nuts''? That woman is an absolute menace to society!
28	** "The Sidekick": After Darwin is put in charge, he asks Gumball for advice on what to do to get back at Tobias. Gumball says to do something petty like take something he likes. Cut to:
29	--->'''Gumball''': YOU STOLE HIS MOM?!\
30	'''Darwin''': What? You said to take something he likes!\
31	'''Gumball''': Some''thing''! Not some''one''! Have you gone totally nuts!?
32	** In "The Nobody", [[spoiler:Rob]] calls out Gumball and Darwin for ignoring him when he got trapped in the void in "The Void".
33	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': After finding out that Jake had his Dragon Chi confiscated on purpose so he could relax, his grandfather Lao Shi becomes furious. Before he can even properly begin ranting to himself about how he'll enact a punishment, Jake's younger sister Haley, who has been filling in for him, [[CallingTheOldManOut angrily tells Lao Shi]] off for putting all the burden of defending a magical realm on a teenage boy. Despite arguably being the stronger dragon of the two, she admits that she can't imagine doing the job for even another day, much less several years, pointing out that the position has forced Jake to constantly make personal scarifies while receiving very little acknowledgement for the work he does. While she acknowledges Jake's choice to purposely suspend his duties was immature, she draws the line at Lao Shi calling the act self-serving. Lao Shi takes this to heart and decides to cut Jake's dragon training in half when he next sees him.
34	-->'''Haley''': He may be the American Dragon, but he's also a 14-year-old kid who just wanted a couple days off. If that makes him immature, fine. But self-serving? {{With all due respect}} to both of you, ''STEP OFF''.
35	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' is constantly called out on his horrible acts by other characters.
36	** It seems to run in the family. His mother, Malory, also gets plenty of these, especially after she [[spoiler:starts a drug cartel]] in Season 5.
37	** Cyril has also gotten a few, mostly over his tendency to randomly shoot at anything in sight whenever he's nervous. From "Space Race":
38	--->'''Lana''': Way to go! You just shot two guys who were just minding their own damn business, and oh yeah, the only person who knew how to ''fly'' this damn thing!
39	** In "Stage 2", Brett makes fun of Archer for being a man with breast cancer. Archer then beats the shit out of him.
40	** In "El Secuestro", Pam does this to the entire cast regarding how little they cared when she got kidnapped.
41	** "Once Bitten" has Lana calling out Malory firstly on not sending her on the mission because she's a black woman, and then after she finds out that it's a mission to blow up an oil pipeline.
42	** Malory gets a ton of these in "White Elephant" after the cast finds out that [[spoiler:ISIS was actually a rogue agency and all its members are nearly arrested for treason.]]
43	** In the pilot, Archer's EstablishingCharacterMoment comes when Kremenski threatening to kill his mother gives him an erection.
44	--->'''Malory''': What-\
45	'''Kremenski''': [[EvenEvilHasStandards THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!]]
46	** Ray gives one to the whole cast in "Baby Shower" for how inconsiderately they behaved towards Lana.
47	*** In the same episode, Archer gives one to Cyril after hearing one too many insults directed at Lana's donor baby.
48	--->[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Cyril, quit pouting, accept the fact that Lana was so far out of your league that impregnating her would've basically been interspecies breeding, and]] ''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech get on with your life!]]''
49	** Ray gets one from both Archer and Lana after they find out that he had been [[spoiler:faking paralysis]] the entire season.
50	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': In "Arthur's Big Hit", Arthur punches D.W. after she breaks his model airplane though he told her not to touch it. Needless to say, his friends and family are upset about it.
51	-->'''Arthur:''' She broke my plane.\
52	'''Fern:''' But she's just a little girl.
53	* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' "The Storm" an elderly fisherman calls out Aang on abandoning the world to 100 years of war (although the man is entirely unaware of the circumstances, and believes it to just be a result of cowardice and willful neglect of his duty as Avatar, which it was, up until the whole "frozen in an iceberg" bit).
54	** When Katara steals a waterbending scroll from pirates because she's jealous of Aang, Sokka calls her out on it. After it gets them captured by Zuko and the pirates, Aang tries to deny it's her fault and then ''Iroh'' pops up to point out that no, this is totally her fault.
55	** Also in "The Storm," this trope is used to show that most people from the Fire Nation are not AlwaysChaoticEvil, and that Zuko's own crew does not appreciate him acting like an idiot and a JerkAss. His lieutenant calls him out for placing his search above the safety of the crew and accuses him of having utter contempt for everyone besides himself, thus hitting Zuko's BerserkButton, when he claims that Zuko knows nothing of respect, unwittingly echoing Ozai's words to him before he gave him his scar.
56	** Toph calls the rest of the Gaang out in "The Western Air Temple" when [[spoiler:they refuse to accept Zuko, despite the fact that he is currently their ''only hope'' of finding a Firebending teacher for Aang. Understandably, her friends make the argument that Toph wasn't there when Zuko hurt them. While that is true, Toph sees the bigger picture enough to remind them that they shouldn't let their personal feelings cloud their judgement]].
57	** The whole Gaang's reaction to Jet, once they find out that he's willing to target [[strike:Fire Nation]] '''Earth Kingdom civilians''' in addition to Fire Nation soldiers. Even Jet's own followers call him out when he plans on catching Zuko firebending rather than going straight as they planned.
58	** Sokka gives a rather harsh one to Aang in "Bato of the Water Tribe" when he hides a map from his friends, a map that reveals where their father was at. The real reason why is that Sokka feels that Aang betrayed them when he hid the map because he didn't want him and his friends to separate yet. Afterwards, a bit later, Sokka and Katara decide to go back to Aang and apologize.
59	** SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has Korra, of all people, giving one to LadyOfWar Lin Beifong, snapping at her for being hostile towards Suyin and Opal and being unable to change. Surprisingly, these words cause Lin to shed a few tears when Korra leaves her alone.
60	** In "Original Airbenders" Bum-ju "gave one" to Bumi for [[RejectedApology not accepting his brother's apology.]]
61	** Mako delivers this to Korra when he and Asami reunite with her after so long when Asami let it slip that she knew what Korra has been up to due to Korra writing to her, but not to him or Bolin despite being just as worried about her well-being. Korra weakly defends that she didn't know what to write to them, which Mako refutes by saying that a simple "hello" would've sufficed.
62	* WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble: Black Panther calls out the Avengers for being [[EasilyCondemned so closed-minded that they won't even try to give him the benefit of the doubt]] after [[spoiler:he was framed for killing Captain America]] and thus he has decided that Wakanda is now off limits to all outsiders including the Avengers.
63	%% -B-
64	* Played for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''. Ronnie Raymond gets one from Jason Rusch when it's revealed that, not only did Ronnie break up with Killer Frost via text message, but he made her pay for all their dates.
65	* In the various ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' series, all the main characters get hit with this trope from time to time. Ben gets slammed by Gwen in "The Alliance", while Grandpa gets slammed by Ben in "Ultimate Weapon".
66	** ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'': In the episode "In Charm's Way," after Kevin spends the entire episode being a {{Jerkass}} to Gwen, believing that she hasn't even been trying to find a way to fix his [[ForcedTransformation most recent mutation]], Ben hits him with one of these, not only informing him that Gwen has in fact been spending every spare moment since the accident occurred trying to find a cure for him but for just automatically assuming that Gwen ''wasn't'' trying to help him in the first place:
67	--->'''Kevin''': She... she never told me.\
68	'''Ben''': Should she have ''had'' to?
69	** In ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'': Magister Korwak gets pretty mad when Ben knowingly transports Argit to his training facility as bait for a superpowered Kevin. He calls Ben out on endangering recruits, not Plumbers with his plan, and not even bothering to inform him or anyone on the base about it, until after they'd come aboard.
70	* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'':
71	** In "Space Chicken", Cricket tries to launch a chicken into space as to make a good impression around his new neighbors, but they keep falling back down and mess the property of the coffee shop next door. Bill finds out and punishes his son for not heeding his advice properly by sending him to his bedroom for the rest of the day.
72	** In "Harvest Dinner", Cricket and Gramma are tasked by Bill to watch a pie in the window while he has Tilly get the paprika for the stew. Both are against this job and believe he gave them the job for no reason and he doesn't trust them to get the paprika, so they leave the pie unguarded and throughout a series of obstacles, bring the paprika back, only to be OutGambitted by Tilly. And it turns out watching the pie really was an important job, as when they were gone, the pie was stolen by the mean rooster without warning, and Bill scolds his son and mother for disobeying him and not doing their job and they could've protected it all along.
73	** In "Desserted", Cricket has the family order an oversized meal for dinner, then take a giant sundae challenge for dessert in order to make it free. But the rest of the family is so full they cannot even eat another bite, and Cricket knew his family wouldn't go along with the idea, so he replaced Bill's money with fake cash so they can't give up. Knowing this whole thing led to disaster, Bill calls Cricket out for making everyone miserable with their dinner.
74	* As any viewer of ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' would know, [=BoJack=] is not heroic by any means, and he gets called out by other characters plenty of times for this.
75	** In "[[Recap/BojackHorsemanS1E08TheTelescope The Telescope]]," Herb calls [=BoJack=] out for not standing up for him when he got fired, and for not contacting him in the twenty years that followed.
76	** In "[[Recap/BojackHorsemanS5E10HeadInTheClouds Head in the Clouds]]," Diane takes [=BoJack=] to task for [[spoiler:taking Sarah Lynn on the bender that killed her, almost sleeping with a seventeen-year-old girl, and using ''Philbert'' as a way to justify his own shitty behavior]].
77	** The episode "[[Recap/BojackHorsemanS6E12XeroxOfAXerox Xerox of a Xerox]]" sees [=BoJack=] get called out on his pattern of taking advantage of women less powerful than him, especially Sarah Lynn, [[spoiler:and it's revealed he waited seventeen minutes to call for help when she was dying in order to cover his tracks]].
78	* The ''WesternAnimation/BumpInTheNight'' ChristmasEpisode "Twas the Night Before Bumpy" has two instants of Mr. Bumpy being called out on being unscrupulous by his best friend Squishington.
79	** When Mr. Bumpy reveals that he had no intention of keeping his promise to get Juaquin Gusanito Sin Manos the set of bionic arms he wanted, Squishington chides him by pointing out that it's very dishonest to break a promise.
80	** Near the end of the special, Mr. Bumpy tries to keep the last present to himself after stealing Santa's presents and accidentally [[SubbingForSanta delivering the gifts to everyone in Santa's place]] and brushes off Squishington's complaints of how Bumpy promised to get him the feet he wanted so he could tap dance and hasn't delivered on his promise in spite of their harrowing adventure at the North Pole. Squishington responds by calling Bumpy's conduct "uncool", which makes Bumpy realize how selfish he's been being and persuades him to give the last present to his friend in hopes of making amends. Squishington forgives his friend when the present turns out to be a tap-dancing noisemaker, enabling him to tap dance without feet.
81	%% -C-
82	* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
83	** This happens to Numbuh Four in ''two separate episodes''. The first time is in "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R." when the rest of the team is angry at him for fighting in the Bully Fights. (The KND isn't fond of adults, but what the bullies do them, trap them and give them KlatchianCoffee until they fly into a rage, and then fight them in a bullfight-like setting - ''that'' crosses the line.) Numbuh Four has a HeelRealization when his own father is a victim of this cruel sport, and when he ultimately saves the day, he's forgiven.
84	** He isn't the second time, however, in "Operation: M.I.S.S.I.O.N." In this one, he tricks the authorities at the KND base in Antarctica into freeing four dangerous villains - Mr. Boss, Count Spankulot, Stickybeard, and Soccer Mom - and then threatens them so they can compete against his dad's bowling team. All because he's sick of polishing his dad's trophies. After everything that happened, the rest of Sector V actually sided with the four villains here, and he ''was'' punished in the end. [[LaserGuidedKarma By polishing his father's new trophy, no less.]]
85	%% -D-
86	* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'':
87	** In the GrandFinale movie "Phantom Planet", Sam delivers a ''scathing'' one to Danny when [[spoiler: he is perfectly content to give up his powers and stand back as ghosts terrorize the city, Vlad extorts the city, and Danny gets to be 'normal']].
88	--->[[spoiler:'''Sam:''' You're not you anymore. You're just a-a normal kid, and a ''selfish'' one at that.\
89	'''Danny:''' How am I selfish? Because I don't want to endanger the people I care about the most?\
90	'''Sam:''' Danny, don't you get it? Your powers gave you a chance to change things! A chance that no one else had, and I was thrilled to help you. But now you're just one of the crowd again.\
91	'''Danny:''' What's wrong with that?\
92	'''Sam:''' Everything! You got to fight ghosts after school while other kids fought acne. And you don't seem to care what you gave up.\
93	'''Danny:''' I care! I just care about you and my family more.\
94	'''Sam:''' When you had your powers, I ''knew'' that this town was protected from evil. But now, who knows where we're headed? I'll always be your friend Danny, and I'll always be there for you. But I can't live life just sitting on the sidelines. I'm surprised you think you can.]]
95	* One ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' has Dexter help rebuild [[WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder Dynomutt]] at Blue Falcon's request after a battle with a foe leaves Dynomutt badly damaged. Dexter does so, but once he finds out that Dynomutt's an idiot, he dumps him and builds a sleeker, NinetiesAntiHero-type Dynomutt. When the robot goes berserk, Blue Falcon attempts to pull an IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight speech, only for Dexter to sheepishly admit that this Dynomutt wasn't ''his'' Dynomutt, that he wasn't "cool". Blue Falcon tells Dexter off for thinking that, just because Dynomutt was clumsy and stupid doesn't mean he wasn't "cool".
96	* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' has Doug's father admonish him after learning that he had gotten into a fight. Granted, it was mostly because Skeeter wouldn't stop talking about it and blew the entire incident way out of proportion.
97	* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' cartoon episode "Detained Duck", an evil counterpart of Dodgers, Drake Darkstar, attempts the old switcheroo trick to get out of prison, which eventually ends with a fight between the two which causes them to look identical. The cadet has to try and figure out which one is real and tell the prison guards. Hilariously, Dodgers starts naming off several moments where Dodgers has belittled the cadet, the evil criminal mastermind Darkstar calls him on one:
98	-->'''Dodgers''': Hey, I know! Tell 'em about the time I sold your sister to the sausage factory!\
99	'''Darkstar''': [[EvenEvilHasStandards You sold his sister to the sausage factory? Dude, that's cold]].
100	* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''
101	** In "The Secret(s) of Castle [=McDuck=]," Huey and Louie are not quite happy when they find out that Dewey has been keeping his search for Della, their mother, a secret from them. While Huey is furious at what Dewey did, Louie can only sit down in the fetal position, looking like he's about to cry, and tell Dewey that what he did was "not okay."
102	** In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser,'' Huey, Dewey, and Louie all call out Scrooge when he reveals the truth about Della. They even accuse Scrooge of being so cheap that he didn't even bother to try and find their mom, not knowing that in fact, Scrooge almost went bankrupt trying to find Della and only stopped his search when his board members forced him to.
103	*** In the same episode, Mrs. Beakley calls out Scrooge after he snaps at Webby and tells her that she's not family.
104	** Towards the end of "Timephoon," Della calls out Louie for using a time machine to steal treasures from the past, which caused time to alter and the whole family to almost disappear from existence, right before she grounds her son and orders him to shut down Louie, Inc.
105	*** For his part, Louie manages to get in [[JerkassHasAPoint his own scathing remark]], replying with a spiteful "I wonder who I got that from," making it clear that he hasn't forgiven Della for the whole Spear of Selene incident that left the family believing her dead for over a decade. Most of the other characters are too shocked to even respond.
106	%% -E-
107	%% -F-
108	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' "Wishology" trilogy, Timmy calls out Jorgen and Turbo Thunder for [[spoiler:automatically assuming the Darkness was evil because it "looked scary"]].
109	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''
110	** In the episode "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag", Brian calls out the entire Griffin family for harassing his latest girlfriend Rita, trying to get her to reveal how old she is, and bringing her to tears in the process. Later in the same episode, Rita calls Brian out for having sex with another woman and acting like it was no big deal[[note]]In fact, he tries to claim it was a ''good thing'' because it taught him what a good thing he has with her[[/note]], and promptly breaks up with him.
111	** Similarly in another episode, Peter has his identity stolen by James Woods. James Woods impersonates Peter and claims the house, the family, and everything else belongs to him and calls the cops on Peter to kick him out. Joe appears after the call and you would think that he would arrest James Woods since Joe knew Peter for years or at least ask Peter for his identification to clear up the mess. What happens is that Joe follows the law instead and declares James Woods is telling the truth, prompting Joe to kick Peter out. Lois calls Joe out on this bullshit, but he doesn't listen due to him holding the IdiotBall.
112	** Brian doesn't try to hide the fact he is willing to do anything for a drink or to sleep with a woman, but in the episode "Be Careful What You Fish For", Brian dates Emily, Stewie's preschool teacher who is far from qualified from looking after toddlers. Emily lets the kids do what they want and doesn't bother trying to keep the place clean or safe, which creates horrible conditions that Stewie tells Brian about and Brian was going to have words with Emily until he saw how hot she was. Stewie calls Brian out for his actions and after his arm got pulled off his socket by Emily and when Stewie tries to tell Lois, Brian attempts to shut Stewie up just to be able to keep dating Emily. Only when Brian finds out Emily already has a boyfriend does he decide to call the cops on her for the preschool's conditions.
113	** Quagmire gives [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a giant one]] to Brian, detailing pretty much every single flaw that he had. To put all of the flaws in as few words as possible, Brian is pretentious, a complete hypocrite, dishonest, a lazy moocher, and sexually promiscuous (which also leads back to the hypocrite part too).
114	** Meg delivers a devastating What The Hell, Family during "Seahorse Seashell Party", attacking both the way her family members behave in general and the way they treat her. Peter, Lois, and Chris are all upset when they realize how they have behaved. Because StatusQuoIsGod, Meg takes it all back and this is never mentioned again.
115	%% -G-
116	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Due to Dipper’s FatalFlaw of not always thinking his actions through, he gets this a lot:
117	** In "Summerween", Mabel is plenty mad at Dipper when [[SkewedPriorities his obsession with being "cool" and "adult"]] in front of [[PrecociousCrush Wendy]] causes him to lose all the candy the twins and Mabel's friends were collecting for the Summerween Trickster, putting all their lives in danger.
118	** In "Boyz Crazy", Dipper reveals that Robbie not only stole the song he supposedly "wrote" for Wendy, but it had subliminal messages in it, and she angrily breaks up with him. Dipper then immediately asks her to hang out, only for a distraught Wendy to lay into ''him'', too, for being so thoughtless.
119	** Dipper gets called out again in "Dreamscaperers" for not wanting to save Grunkle Stan's mind from the invading [[DreamWalker Bill Ciper]] due to Grunkle Stan's memories showing that he believes Dipper to be worthless and wants to get rid of him.
120	-->'''Soos:''' Dipper, you're a cool dude and all, but that wasn't cool, dude.
121	** A downplayed example in "Scary-Oke" is when Mabel scolds Dipper for raising the dead in order to impress Powers and Trigger, putting the entire town in danger. To be fair, Dipper didn’t realize that there were dead remains under the Mystery Shack, and the fact that he didn't read what the forbidden spell from the journal would do.
122	** Mabel gets one from ''[[VillainHasAPoint Bill Cipher]]'' when she [[spoiler:nearly sells out her brother to the BigBad just to continue to impress her GuyOfTheWeek]] in "Sock Opera."
123	%% -H-
124	* In ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'', Harley grabs a gun and shoots a criminal named Carl with it, but the blast does nothing. When his partner Kev figures out that Harley shot him with a "Cancer Ray", Carl responds with a hurt "Harley, you gave me ''cancer''?!" Even Harley is horrified as she drops the gun, asks who'd build such a stupid thing, and apologize when Carl decides to leave and spend time with his family.
125	%% -I-
126	* In ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'', Mark's best friend Will's boyfriend gets kidnapped by a MadScientist but Mark ignores Will's pleas for help in order to focus on his [[TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife relationship issues]]. As a result, Will's boyfriend is [[UnwillingRoboticisation turned into a cyborg]] while he himself almost meets the same fate, which he calls Mark out for later on. However, this ends up being subverted, as his reprimand turns into a ToughLove speech encouraging him to [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre learn from his mistakes and not give up]] on heroism after seeing how broken up Mark was about it all.
127	* ''WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries''
128	** The Season 1 finale had Tony Stark use a robot duplicate (while he himself was disguised as a bridesmaid) to fake a wedding to Julia Carpenter for the purpose of throwing the Mandarin off his trial and convince him that Tony and Iron Man were separate people. However, he decided to not tell the ComicBook/ScarletWitch about it, who wasn't happy about being left out of the loop. In a case of CerebusRetcon, Season 2 has a recurring theme in the Tony/Julia relationship being Julia being resentful of the stunt, too, despite being in on the plan.
129	** The second season of the cartoon starts with Tony faking his death as part of a plan to stop the Mandarin. [[WeWouldHaveToldYouBut He doesn't let any of his friends in on it so their grief will convince the villains he's really dead.]] All but two of the supporting cast ([[ComicBook/WarMachine Rhodey]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Julia]]) walk out on him in disgust, and even the two who stay make it clear he crossed a line.
130	** Season 2 also adapted the classic "ComicBook/ArmorWars" arc, wherein Tony realizes that his technology has been stolen and goes to extremes to stop its use by criminals' hands, and everyone giving him crap for his action.
131	* ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'':
132	** Rhodey calls Tony out in one episode for being willing to use lethal force on people and justifying it with a 'whatever it takes' mindset. Rhodey points out to Tony how that attitude makes him exactly like the people he's fighting and that it's beginning to look like Tony's out for revenge instead of saving lives, which was his original motivation. Tony doesn't respond, but instead the two have a non-verbal glare-down as the episode ends, indicating that Rhodey's words probably struck a little too close to home. In the following episode, Tony acknowledges Rhodey was right.
133	** Another notable one comes from Iron Man's interactions with S.H.I.E.L.D.. Tony frequently collides with Nick Fury on being willing to use drastic methods to solve a problem when Fury's only doing his job by protecting the people. In "Fun with Lasers" Living Laser holds the world hostage from a space station and demands a fight with Iron Man. After an attempt to retrieve two of their agents from the station fails Fury opts to blow up the station. Tony calls him out on it.
134	** Later on Tony looks into a SHIELD computer and finds the Living Laser dying and calls Fury out on it again.
135	%% -J-
136	* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
137	** "Clash": ComicBook/LexLuthor has, in an [[PetTheDog attempt at genuine charity]], built a self-sustaining city for the homeless. Superman sees a device underground with a timer and sets out to destroy it, despite Lex's attempts to convince him that he's mistaken. Captain Marvel wisely disagrees and thinks they should call an expert in to see what the device really is. [[LetsYouAndHimFight Mayhem ensues]]. In the end, the fight [[NiceJobBreakingItHero destroys the city]], and the device is revealed to be a kryptonite-powered generator. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that this was a BatmanGambit by Lex Luthor to discredit Superman, by manipulating [[ParanoiaGambit Superman's distrust of Luthor]].]] The whole fiasco made Captain Marvel verbally tear the [[TheMagnificentSevenSamurai Original Seven]] a new one before resigning:
138	--->'''Captain Marvel:''' Back home, I've come up against my share of pretty nasty bad guys, but I never had to act the way they did to win a fight. I always found another way. I guess I'm saying I like being a hero. A symbol. And that's why... I'm quitting the Justice League. You don't act like heroes anymore.
139	** Much more understandable when you remember that J'onn J'onzz, and possibly other Leaguers, can phase through matter and could have checked the power cell in a heartbeat, if Superman had just been a little more patient.
140	** In the episode "The Doomsday Sanction", where Batman gives one to Superman:
141	--->'''Batman:''' Sent [Doomsday] off to the Phantom Zone, didn't you?\
142	'''Superman:''' [[IDidWhatIHadToDo He left us no choice.]]\
143	'''Batman''': [[NotSoDifferentRemark Spoken like a true]] [[KnightTemplar Justice Lord]].
144	** The League gets called out by a ''lot'' of people for [[spoiler:easily forgiving Hawkgirl after her actions in the previous season finale.]] Fortunately, this died down eventually. It also helped that it was clear that [[spoiler:not everyone completely forgave her, not even among the Big Six, particularly Wonder Woman, although she eventually did forgive Shayera after teaming up to save Hades from Felix Faust.]] As Shayera said after [[spoiler:Wonder Woman]] asked if things were OK between them:
145	--->'''Shayera''': Like oil and vinegar. We go together, but we don't mix.
146	** Also in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Twilight", Superman has a ''massive'' one due to Darkseid popping up to ask for help to save Apokolips from Brainiac: while everyone understood why Superman's reaction at seeing him was a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, cheering when Darkseid told them that Apokolips was about to be destroyed received this.
147	--->'''Darkseid''': You know his pattern, Kal-El. Once he's finished siphoning the memory banks and technology of my planet...\
148	'''Superman''': He'll annihilate it. ''Good.''\
149	'''Hawkgirl''': What!?\
150	'''Wonder Woman''': Superman!\
151	'''Martian Manhunter''': You can't mean-\
152	'''Darkseid''': You may not care what happens to me or my world, but know this: If Brainiac isn't stopped, countless millions more will perish. Think about it. Leaves\
153	'''Hawkgirl''': So what are you saying? You'd sacrifice millions of lives ''just because you don't like this guy!?''\
154	'''Superman''': You don't know Darkseid like I do.
155	*** And then, ''Batman'' delivers a second one when Superman delivers that last line:
156	---->'''Batman:''' We know he used you. Humiliated you. Brainwashed you. Wound you up like a tin soldier and turned you loose against Earth. ''Cry me a river.'' On the outside chance that this isn't another one of his schemes, we have to take action. So, I suggest you ''get over it.''
157	** Happens twice in "A Better World" -- both times to and by Batman. [[spoiler:The parallel Batman argues that at least on his world, no other child would ever have to be brutally orphaned, which disarms the League Batman. Later in the episode, Batman witnesses an indifferent crowd ignoring a terrified man arrested for a simple argument, and asks his twin, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion "They'd love it here, don't you think? [...] Mom and Dad.]] [[SarcasmMode They'd be]] ''[[SarcasmMode so]]'' [[SarcasmMode proud of you."]]]]

159	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'':
160	** In "Let's Play Danger Island Survivor", Kaeloo forces her friends to participate in a really lame game show called "Danger Island Survivor". Everyone complains about this, and in the end, Mr. Cat snaps and ends up getting mad at Kaeloo, pointing out how stupid it is. Kaeloo gets really mad and beats him up just for expressing his opinion (which was in fact everyone else's opinion but hers). Stumpy and Quack Quack are both disgusted by her actions, and they and Mr. Cat kick her out of Smileyland (the ResetButton ensures that she's allowed back in by the next episode).
161	** In Episode 213, Kaeloo finds out that Mr. Cat has been seeing a therapist, and mistakenly believes that he has pulled a HeelFaceTurn. Mr. Cat (who is actually stuck in a HeelFaceRevolvingDoor) would much rather keep this information to himself, but Kaeloo decides to go around telling people. She gets called out on this by literally everyone including her own SplitPersonality.
162	* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'':
163	** "[[Recap/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeastsS1E06Ratland Ratland]]": Although she can't speak, Mandu gets the message across to Wolf by growling that she is not pleased that Wolf is keeping the clue to Kipo's family's whereabouts hidden from her. Wolf brushes her off.
164	** "[[Recap/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeastsS1E07Mulholland Mulholland]]": When Wolf reveals that she hid Lio's map from Kipo, and that the map shows that the group has been journeying in the wrong direction, Kipo is profoundly hurt and angrily berates her for this. After Wolf tearfully reveals that she doesn't want their journey to end and them to separate, Kipo silently forgives her.
165	** "[[Recap/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeastsS1E09MuteEatMuteWorld Mute-Eat-Mute World]]": Benson spends much of the episode angrily calling out Wolf for abandoning Kipo when she discovered the latter is part-Mute, especially in light of Kipo forgiving Wolf for her own transgression.

167	* This trope was the essential plotline for a ''[[WesternAnimation/LibertysKids Liberty's Kids]]'' episode where Sarah goes to UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson's farm and discovers that the writer of "All men are created equal..." is a ''slaveholder''. She is understandably shocked and confronts him.
168	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'': In "[=SuperRabbit=]", Jor-El calls out Superrabbit for this; pointing out that most of his current problems he has brought on himself because of his arrogance.

173	** In "Putting Your Hoof Down," after seeing Fluttershy violently deal with a random tourist pony Rarity and Pinkie Pie call her out on her behavior. Considering her new personality though, it doesn't end well for them.
174	** In "A Canterlot Wedding," Twilight Sparkle is suspicious of [[spoiler:impostor]] Princess Cadance's behavior, and after [[spoiler:apparently]] [[NotWhatItLooksLike misinterpreting one of her actions]], Twilight bursts into the wedding rehearsal and accuses the princess of being outright ''evil''. Her friends all leave without even speaking to her, and even ''Princess Celestia'' herself makes it clear she's disappointed. Then it turns out Twilight was right, that Cadance was ''evil''...[[spoiler:but she wasn't even the ''real'' Cadance. During the NearVillainVictory, the impostor, Changeling Queen Chrysalis, gives a variation to the rest of the Mane Cast, stating that [[JerkassHasAPoint it was their fault for not listening to Twilight at all about her behavior]]. Applejack was very remorseful about this and apologized to Twilight on everypony's behalf, but she brushed it off, stating that it wasn't their fault seeing as Chrysalis fooled everypony.]]
175	** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E23InspirationManifestation "Inspiration Manifestation"]], Owlowiscious toward Spike as Rarity begins running amok with the spell, and his insistence that everything's going fine.

It doesn't go well at all, and Twilight and the others call her on it:
177	--->'''Twilight:''' "What made you think casting a spell on your friends to do your bidding was even ''remotely'' a good idea?"\
178	'''Starlight:''' "Well, when you put it that way, it sounds really bad."\

182	* ''WesternAnimation/OGrady'':
183	** In one episode, Harold helps out the Driver's Ed class by convincing the teacher to show a bunch of incredibly bloody movies about the dangers of bad driving. The movies are so horrific Iris goes up to Harold at one point and calls him a sick, twisted individual.
184	** Kevin does this to Beth when the school finds out she made an agreement for everyone to get new computers in exchange for going a month without sugar, without getting anyone's consent beforehand.

188	'''Skipper''': The sight of you makes me throw up in my beak, soldier!\
189	'''Rico''': ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssshhhhh!]]''
190	* Played for laughs in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' when Perry crashes through Dr. Doofenshmirtz's door rather than just knocking. Doofenshmirtz proceeds to give Perry a lecture about not going around breaking down other people's doors, and then guilts him into paying to get the door replaced. This had a great callback in a later episode, where Perry had a KEY and Dr. Doofenshmirtz actually comments on how much nicer and easier it is now.
191	** Played straighter in the movie, Across the 2nd Dimension, when Phineas discovers Perry's secret identity.
192	--->'''Phineas''': So not only have you been leading a double life this whole time, you sat there and let us help an ''evil'' scientist open an ''evil'' portal into an ''evil'' dimension and you did nothing to stop us?!\
193	'''Ferb''': Well, he did [[UrineTrouble pee on the couch.]]
194	** And ''that'' last comment sparks another one from Doofenshmirtz.
195	--->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' Wait a minute, I just realized, that was a conscious choice. You peed on my couch!\
196	(Perry grins sheepishly and shrugs in embarrassment)
197	* In The Hub's ''WesternAnimation/{{Pound Puppies\|2010}}'' episode "Dogs on a Wire", resident genius Strudel becomes successful as a circus dog, and initially, her team is happy for her.

198	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'':
199	** In "Town And Out", the Professor gets a new job and moves the family from the City of Townsville to the Town of Cityville. After spotting a bank robbery, the girls ply their usual trade, doing craptons of collateral damage while catching the bank robbers (a normal day in Townsville). When they report to the mayor for congratulations, he yells at how stupid they are and that the money they recovered was a tiny fraction of the cost of the damage done.
200	** Buttercup gets a tongue-lashing from Bubbles, Blossom, and Ms. Keane in "Paste Makes Waste" after she bullied Elmer.
201	** Utonium calling out the girls for swearing in "Curses"
202	** Blossom is chewed out by everyone in Townsville during "Fallen Arches" when she wouldn't stop the Ministry of Pain, her reasoning being that they should "respect their elders".

204	** During "What's The Big Idea", the Girls[[note]]At the time Mojo turned them huge with an invention of his[[/note]] get yelled at when they destroy some property.
205	** Bubbles gets called out by her sisters in "Bubblevicious" after she takes being 'hardcore' too far and starts beating the living hell out of innocent civilians for things like ''littering''.
206	** Both Blossom and Bubbles call out Buttercup in "Makes Zen to Me" for going too rough on Fuzzy Lumpkins even after he surrendered. Later, three doctors treating Fuzzy also chew her out, even calling her a monster, causing Buttercup to run off and find some inner peace with the help of a monk.

209	* On ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', all the other characters are this to Jet whenever he does something really dumb. For example, this line from ''Satellite Selfie''
210	-->'''Sydney:''' Jet, where in the world did you get the idea to put rutabaga and garlic into a cookie?!?
211	* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has a few, but the most noteworthy might be the Season 6 finale "Dumped at the Altar", where Mordecai interrupts Muscle Man's wedding to give a long, rambling speech about ''his own'' love life. Everyone is disgusted and confused by this, with even the often callous Rigby calling him out on the horrible timing.
212	-->'''Rigby''': So, when I said "go with your gut," did you hear "completely lose your mind and try to dump your girlfriend at a wedding?" [[WhatWereYouThinking Because that seemed to be the option you went with.]]
213	* The very first short of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', "Stimpy's Invention", has Ren calling Stimpy a "sick little monkey" when the Happy Helmet is slapped onto his head. Anything else is drowned out when Stimpy activates it.
214	* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': In "Rick Potion #9", Morty has Rick concoct a love potion so he can woo Jessica, a girl he has a crush on. Because Jessica has the flu, she ends up transmitting the effects of the potion to the entire school and within a few hours, the entire world wants to have sex with Morty (though not any of Morty's family as the potion doesn't work on people with his DNA). [[spoiler:Rick's attempts to reverse the issue eventually end up with the entire planet being irreversibly mutated into shambling Cronenberg-esque horrors and Rick and Morty end up abandoning it to live in an alternate universe where they died]]. Morty asks Rick about why he did this, and Rick tears Morty a new one, pointing out that what Morty was trying to do to Jessica was ''date rape''. ''[[JerkassHasAPoint And he's right]]''.
215	-->'''Rick:''' Me irresponsible!? All I wanted you to do was hand me a screwdriver, Morty! You're the one who wanted me to buckle down and make a roofie juice serum, so you could roofie the poor girl at your school! You kidding me, Morty!? You're going to try and take the high road on this one? You're a creep, Morty!
216	* ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats1991'':
217	** In the episode "[[Recap/RugratsS2E10ReptarOnIceFamilyFeud Family Feud]]", when the babies run off and Chas is the only one who notices while the Pickles and [=DeVilles=] are busy arguing over petty little things, he flips out and reads them the riot act for it.
218	-->'''Chas:''' Look at you! Don't you see what you've done?! While you were insulting each other and bringing up every petty difference from your past, you've forgotten about your children, the most important thing in your insignificant lives! You ought to be ashamed!
219	** Also, in "[[Recap/RugratsS3E15NakedTommyTommyAndTheSecretClub Naked Tommy]]", Betty gives one to Didi for trying to make her listen to her crackpot idol's advice after finding that Tommy's nudist phase had rubbed off on her twins.
220	-->'''Betty:''' Don't start with that hippie Lipschitz, Deed! I don't know what kind of baby commune you're trying to run here, but it's time to face facts; the sixties are over, and we lost! So just get with the program, all right?!

Tommy calls him out for this after he takes Dil's bottle away (Chuckie claims he was drinking it too fast).
222	-->'''Tommy:''' That's it, Chuckie! We can't take any more of your safety rulers! You won't let us run or play in the sandbox or swing or slide or nothin'! How are we opposed to show Dil all the fun stuffs if we can't do em' no more?

224	* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'': It starts right off with Scooby and the gang locked in jail because their recent mystery adventure has disrupted Crystal Cove's revenue stream (it's a supernatural tourist attraction), then episode 26 has the gang divided as Fred discovers the Mayor ''isn't'' his real dad, and Velma had kept Angel Dynamite's identity (previous Mystery Inc. member Cassidy Williams) a secret, to which the others took umbrage.
225	* The ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' episode "Fleeced to Meet You" has a sketch where the superhero Completely Powerful Guy avoids going after criminals his sidekick Wonderful Boy informs are on the loose by claiming to be completely vulnerable to the various villains' attacks and not wanting to risk getting hurt by them. Wonderful Boy responds to Completely Powerful Guy's excuses by irately pointing out that he's acting less like a hero and more like a pathetic coward.
226	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
227	** "Dude, Where's my Ranch?" has Lisa crushing on a boy named Luke. She sends a girl named Clara she thinks is his girlfriend in the wrong direction so Lisa could have Luke all to herself. When Lisa realizes Clara is Luke's sister, she brings her back, but Luke angrily chews her out and breaks up with her.
228	** In "Tis the Fifteenth Season", Carl calls out Homer for giving Lenny some Certs for Christmas:
229	--->'''Lenny:''' This gift stinks!\
230	'''Carl:''' [[ItsAllAboutMe Homer, you're the most selfish man I know.]]
231	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
232	** Cartman as the Coon is called out for actions such as planning to blow up a hospital, faking pictures to blackmail someone, and teaming up with [[spoiler:''Cthulhu'']]. With Cartman, the term hero is used loosely. Everyone is suitably disgusted with him, assuming they're not too terrified to be that way.
233	** Jesus questions Santa's actions when he shoots his terrorist captor in an inversion of a scene from ''Film/ThreeKings''.
234	--->'''Santa''': I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't let him live. He shocked Santa's balls!
235	** In "The China Probrem", after Butters accidentally shoots a hostage in the crotch:
236	--->'''Cartman:''' Aw dude, you shot him in the dick.\
237	'''Butters:''' Huh?\
238	'''Cartman:''' That's not cool Butters. You don't shoot a guy in the dick.\
239	'''Butters:''' But I was just trying to stop him, and you said-\
240	'''Cartman:''' [faces him] It doesn't matter, Butters! You never shoot a guy in the dick. Everyone knows that! Shooting a guy in the dick?? That's just, that's just weak. I can't believe you, Butters.
241	** Chef chews out the boys for revealing that his bride-to-be Veronica is a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] on the night before the wedding (which is true). It doesn't help that they were jealous of her. He forgives them after they send her back to the pits of Hell.
242	** It's not all that rare that as soon as Season 6, Kyle and ''especially'' Stan get called out by their parents or someone else. For example, in "Fun With Veal", the adults call the boys out for "saving" the baby cows from becoming veal. You can't help but side with the kids on this, though, and this ''is'' an AuthorFilibuster based on one of Trey's real-life traits of not eating baby animal meat. And in "The F-Word", the school staff calls the boys out for spray-painting "FAGS GET OUT" on a wall to get the annoying Harley riders out of South Park. Mayor [=McDaniels=] does this ''twice'', one of them during the call-out.
243	* Peter gets a lot of those in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', but among the biggest are the one he gets for running away to make pictures of Lizard and publish them in Bugle, instead of helping everybody find the cure for his state, then gets one from Eddie for not calling the cops but taking pictures of Spider-Man stealing alien lifeform and again for not visiting Aunt May in hospital (of course Eddie doesn't know about Peter's SecretIdentity).
244	** Flash Thompson's first moment of proving himself as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold takes place when he confronts Peter (currently influenced by black costume) and calls him out on being a jerk to his friends. This is what directly makes Peter realize something is wrong and leads to him rejecting black costume.
245	** In second season, he gets one from his girlfriend's brother, for paying more attention to Gwen Stacy, than to her.
246	** Jonah gets one from captain Stacy when he cheers on Mysterio's mechanical gremlins beating Spider-Man.
247	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
248	** In "Born Again Krabs," Squidward gives Mr. Krabs a scathing speech to this effect after he sells [=SpongeBob's=] soul to the Flying Dutchman for pocket change (a whole 62 cents), despite the fact that [=SpongeBob=] willingly put his life on the line in order to save Krabs from being taken by the Dutchman.
249	--->'''Squidward''': He stuck up for you, and you ''sold him out''. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!
250	** In "Yours, Mine and Mine", Mr. Krabs angrily calls [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick out and scolds them after realizing the Patty Pal toy made them fight.
251	--->'''Mr. Krabs''': All this brawlin' is over a toy?! You shouldn't let a little trinkle of it between yous! You should be ashamed of yourselves.
252	** In "Dying For Pie", Mr. Krabs gives one to Squidward when it looked like [=SpongeBob=] has eaten the exploding pie.
253	---> '''Mr. Krabs:''' You had to kill him. The boy cries you a sweater of tears...and you kill him. How are you gonna live with yourself?
254	** In "Sleepy Time", everyone except for Patrick tells [=SpongeBob=] off for appearing and annoying them in their dreams.
255	* In the ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' episode "Here to Help", it's revealed that [[spoiler:Moon Butterfly]] was the one who helped Mina build a new Solarian army in order to overthrow Queen Eclipsa. They claim that this was to prevent Mina from doing something even worse, but Star rightfully points out that [[spoiler:a) there was no way Mina would have accomplished anything as destructive as a super-powered, nigh-immortal military force on her own]] and [[spoiler:b) Mina is a genocidal psychopath who she can't possibly control]]. Star is proven right when they're betrayed by Mina the following episode and prove powerless to stop her.
256	* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E08PathOfTheJedi "Path of the Jedi"]]: Yoda chides Ezra on wanting revenge against the Empire, asking if that's what he was taught was the Jedi way.
257	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
258	** During the second season, there is a short arc where Garnet gives a huge one to [[spoiler:Pearl]] when she finds out that the latter has been [[spoiler:repeatedly fixing the communication hub just to continue fusing with Garnet, due to the PowerHigh she gets when they form Sardonyx]]. Garnet is ''extremely'' '''''furious''''' with them for such manipulative behavior and betraying her trust, and it takes a few episodes for them to finally patch things up.
259	** Early in the third season, Steven delivers one to Lapis Lazuli, who had been... ''indisposed'' throughout [[spoiler:Peridot's]] entire [[HeelFaceTurn redemption arc]] and had spent an entire episode furious at said character for bringing her back to Earth. While he acknowledges that Lapis [[TraumaCongaLine had indeed gone through a lot]], he points out that [[spoiler:Peridot]] did so as well, is making a huge effort to be a better person, is probably just as terrified as Lapis at the idea of being stuck on an unfamiliar planet, and has spent the entire episode trying to be amicable towards someone who clearly hates her.
260	** In the final season, Connie gives one to Steven after he [[spoiler:returns from having given himself up to Homeworld in order to save her and some other humans they were trying to abduct]], upset with him for seemingly giving up on their belief that they would face any dangers together. While Steven did have a point at the time since [[spoiler:the Gems that they were fighting were able to overpower them easily]], he admits that it was insensitive of him to act like [[spoiler:being taken into space to his potential death]] was nothing of note, because it was clearly distressing for her and the rest of his loved ones.
261	* ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'':
262	** The Brambleberry Fairy ends up on both sides of this trope in the 2003 episode "Sleeping Beauty". At the start, the Brambleberry Fairy delivers this to the partygoers at Princess Strawberry Rose's birth due to her [[UninvitedToTheParty lack of an invitation]] (which [[DidntThinkThisThrough she brought upon herself with some]] [[GoneHorriblyRight brambleberry bushes that were planted there by her to be an anti-robbery security system]]). Near the end, Prince Huckleberry lectures her when he bumps into her. The latter instance is downplayed since Prince Huckleberry doesn't raise his voice during his lecture, but the Brambleberry Fairy [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone still regrets what she did in her own moment as a result]] and that cements her HeelFaceTurn.
263	* ''WesternAnimation/Superbook2011'': Chris gets this quite a bit across the series--from Joy, from his mother Phoebe, from Jesus Himself--for his acts of selfishness, his overly entitled attitude, and his reckless behavior in general. One of the more heartbreaking ones comes from Joy in "Peter's Denial," while she's in the middle of a HeroicBSOD over Chris having just casually pretended not to know her, his best friend of several years, just so he can try to impress and hang out with some cool kids who think Joy's a geek for being president of the chess club.
264	--> '''Joy:''' Chris...how could you do that?\
265	'''Chris:''' Joy, those guys don't think the chess club is very cool, and you know how much I wanna--\
266	'''Joy:''' And that makes it okay to pretend you don't ''(voice cracks)'' ...know me?\
267	'''Chris:''' Joy...you know I'm your friend.\
268	'''Joy:''' I ''thought'' I knew.
269	* The ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' episode "King Scoopa Koopa": Luigi and Yoshi, who have become hooked on Koopa's fast food, trade in Princess Toadstool's treasure chest to continue feeding their addiction. When Princess discovers this, she promptly calls them out on it.
270	%% -T-
271	* Splinter of ''Westernanimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' is usually the first to call out any of the turtles whenever they screw up on a mission. While calling them out, he usually resorts to disciplining them, humiliating them in lessons made in particular for them, and even making their missions harder for them all as punishment should any of them go against his word.
272	** One example shows how short-tempered this incarnation of Splinter is when Leo decides to give his leadership position to Raph when the latter wouldn't stop running his mouth off.
273	--->'''Leonardo''': (...) I've had to make every other decision and I'm tired of it! Those guys have no idea what kind of pressure I'm under and all they do is complain. Is it too much to ask for a simple "Thank you?"\
274	'''Splinter''': Of course it is! Leadership is not about being appreciated, it is about responsibility. It doesn't matter that the burden is heavy, It matters that you carry it. Now go find your brothers!
275	* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'':
276	** In the first season finale, Robin accosts a random dockworker for information on Slade's whereabouts, and has to be physically restrained by Raven. The rest of the team accuses him of emulating Slade's tactics in his zeal. What makes this worse is that Slade is pretty civil to his informants, which is why he can use them again and again. So, Robin was actually [[EvilerThanThou worse than the villain]].
277	** The MASSIVE shaming Robin received once the team realized that he was pulling a BatmanGambit via being Red X and playing them off to get close to Slade.
278	--->'''Starfire:''' Whoever Slade is, you and he are...[[NotSoDifferentRemark similar]]. Slade did not trust you, and you did not trust us.
279	** Speaking of Red X, [[MadScientist Professor Chang]] criticizes Robin for using Xenothium, an ''incredibly'' dangerous compound, as a power source for the Red X suit despite [[{{Hypocrite}} manufacturing, selling, and using it himself]]. The way he says "good little boy" says it all.
280	--->'''Professor Chang:''' Ah... the ''[[SarcasmMode goooood]]'' [[SarcasmMode little boy who]] [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame likes dangerous toys.]]
281	** The episode ''Troq'' had the whole team confronting [[FantasticRacism Val-Yor]], after [[BrokenPedestal they discovered]] what a racist {{Jerkass}} he is, and the term ''troq'' is a FantasticSlur towards Starfire.
282	** And in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', Robin's unnecessarily brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Saico-Tek causes realistic legal trouble for the team. Subverted when [[spoiler:they find out that the villain took a dive as a XanatosGambit by the movie's BigBad]].
283	** While in his characteristic harsh manner, Robin calls out Cyborg for essentially leaving behind his old team out of his need to "be a man".
284	* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' episode "Let's Get Serious", Aqualad of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' gives Robin the riot act over their immaturity and mockery of heroism. What hurts them the most is that his assessment is ''right'' as Cyborg and Beast Boy go gaa-gaa over the idea of a pie-eating contest and Starfire and Raven free Jinx to have a girl's night out.
285	* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': Sir Topham Hatt (AKA the Fat Controller) would occasionally give this to his engines whenever they are naughty.
286	* In the ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' episode "The Fugitives", the three heroines give this to Jerry in spades while pelting him with snowballs. (His apology for not believing their innocence and trying to capture them and apply brain surgery to stop them -- they didn't seem willing to accept it yet.)
287	* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
288	** In ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', after Dinobot's recent trip through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor and giving the [[MacGuffin Golden Disk]] to [[BigBad Megatron]], Rattrap gives this to him:
289	-->'''Rattrap:''' You know, I used to think I had you pegged. "Oh sure, he's a slag-sucking saurian, but at least you know where he stands." I guess you live and learn.
290	** Prowl of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' can't seem to convince Optimus Prime that the Dinobots are alive, and thus melting them down would be wrong. Prowl says he can sense a spark, but Prime says the destructive, lumbering, fire-breathing former animatronics are too big a risk when all Prowl has to go on is his feelings. So Prowl convinces Bulkhead to sneak out with him in the middle of the night and save the Dinobots. Prime is ''not'' happy about this once he finds out, so depending on how you feel about the Dinobots, it could be a WhatTheHellHero moment for either Prowl or Optimus; the Dinobots ''are'' living things, but they're also incredibly destructive. When they finally get around to telling Prime of this, he is ''not'' happy that they stole the Dinobots. Prowl points out that they ''rescued'' the Dinobots.
291	*** Ratchet calls out Prowl for his destructive romp when apprehending Starscream (or rather, unbeknown to them, his clone) by pointing out the bird's nest he ruined. Given that Prowl is a FriendToAllLivingThings, this hit him particularly hard. Even Starscream gets in the act, with a NotSoDifferentRemark.
292	*** ''TFA'' seems to like this trope. In a flashback, Ratchet does this to Ultra Magnus and the rest of the autobots who created [[spoiler:Omega Supreme,]] for making what is essentially a {{Tykebomb}} PersonOfMassDestruction to win the war with the Decepticons. While none of them deny that what they're doing is wrong, it's quite possible the Autobots would have lost the war without doing it.
293	*** In "This Is Why I Hate Machines," Alpha Trion berates Sentinel Prime for his decision to fire at [[spoiler:Omega Supreme,]] knowing the risks of possibly destroying Cybertron. He makes it very clear that if the decision was up to him, Sentinel wouldn't be Magnus any longer.
294	*** Sentinel himself, despite being a {{Jerkass}} most of the time, got to call Optimus out in "Predacons Rising" when he learns Optimus kept the whole Elita-1 / Blackarachnia thing a secret from him.
295	---->'''Sentinel''': You knew about this?!\
296	'''Optimus:''' I didn't know how to tell you.\
297	'''Sentinel:''' [[SarcasmMode Well, thanks for not spoiling the surprise]]. 'Cause I wouldn't wanna be, I don't know, PREPARED FOR THIS OR ANYTHING!
298	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' has Jack call out Bulkhead for being perfectly fine with letting jerks be taken by Decepticons, ''twice''.
299	*** In "Legacy", Smokescreen gets called out by Arcee and Optimus for his reckless behaviour, but especially for dragging [[spoiler:Jack along on a dangerous mission (which ended up with Jack hiding from Insections in crevice, whilst they slowly dug him out, before being rescued)]]. Smokescreen ''himself'' admits that he deserves every word of it.
300	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'': TheHero James Lake Junior is called out by Angor Rot for having stolen the ring that contains his soul and used it to control Angor instead of returning to Angor as Jim had promised.
301	* Played for laughs in the third season premiere of ''WesternAnimation/TrollsTheBeatGoesOn''. Branch goes on a conspiratorial rant about how the hidden box of disguises belongs to a non-Pop troll infiltrator that needs to be rooted out. Poppy not only dismisses Branch's concerns (comically revealing that every other Pop troll has one), but she has an entire musical number that [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech encourages everyone in the village to ignore Branch]]. After all the others leave, though, she quickly admits Branch is right and that he needs to help her find the infiltrator. Branch immediately calls Poppy out for the previous song (she justifies it by noting how easily Pop trolls panic, and she "had to really sell it").

304	* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': In "Zadie's Shell Shuffle," Zadie wants [=JunJun=] to sing about her, but with his songs, he keeps giving away her hiding places and she loses at hide and seek. [[SoreLoser She does not take losing well]], and yells at [=JunJun=] for doing what she asked him to do. After he gets upset and leaves, Zeke calls Zadie out for what she did.
305	-->'''Zeke''': [[CompanionCube Snout]] said you were mean, Zadie.
306	%% -X-
307	* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'': Professor X gets one of these from his students after it was revealed that their principal was actually Mystique. Earlier in the episode, he and Logan had a conversation about it with Logan wondering why he doesn't just tell them the truth. Charles responds with the fact that they are supposed to respect their principal, but how does he tell them that the respectful figure and their enemy are one and the same, clearly having struggled with revealing it to them for a while. The final scene of the episode "Turn of the Rogue" has the students surprised by the fact and even saying it was the same as lying to them.
308	%% -Y-
309	* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' is rife with these moments:
310	** Batman questions Superman for remaining distant from his clone Superboy since Superboy needs a role model. Bruce clearly understands why Clark finds Superboy disturbing and is legitimately sympathetic, but is also trying to convince him that he's making the wrong choice.
311	** Batman admonishes Aqualad for the team's near death at the hands of Clayface and tells him that he can't split his mind between Atlantis and the surface and he needs to make a commitment to one or the other.
312	** When Aqualad keeps his suspicions of a mole on the team to himself and the rest of the team finds out, they hold it against him for an entire episode before conceding that he had good reason to do it.
313	** When M'gann apparently kills Mister Twister's pilot the team freaks out before the pilot is revealed to be a non-sentient robot.
314	** Conversely, Twister calls out the mere use by the League of their proteges as ChildSoldiers, saying that he was disturbed by it.
315	** Captain Marvel calls out Nabu for [[spoiler:forcing Zatara to sacrifice himself to the Helmet to free his daughter Zatanna from it]] and openly questions why Nabu is allowed to be a member of the Justice League.
316	*** Unfortunately, Captain Marvel is then called out ''himself'' by the rest of the League, especially Franchise/WonderWoman, for not revealing that [[OlderAlterEgo he's really only ten years old]].
317	** When Artemis lets her insecurity get the better of her and [[spoiler:tries to lead the rest of the team away from Cheshire so she can fight her herself in an effort to prove herself better than Roy]] and the rest of the team finds out, Kid Flash calls her out on it. Even more painful since he had spent most of the episode supporting her.
318	** In the Season 2 episode "Earthlings", [[spoiler:Miss Martian psychically rips out the knowledge of what the six missing Leaguers did in space during the sixteen hours they were under the control of the Light from a Kroloteran, leaving him in a coma.]] Superboy tries to call her out on it but she interrupts with the reveal of her new-found knowledge. Superboy relents but he's clearly furious.
319	*** He finally calls her out on it in "Depths," even stating that [[spoiler:her actions [[NotSoDifferentRemark make her no better than Psimon]]]]. But the last straw was [[spoiler:her erasing their fight about it from his mind so he wouldn't be mad at her anymore.]] And to add insult to injury, Superboy then calls her out on the fact that [[spoiler:not too long after their breakup she's now dating Lagoon Boy.]] Miss Martian shows remorse, but Superboy wonders if its genuine or is it for the fact that she got caught.
320	** In "Satisfaction" [[spoiler:the original Roy]] ''tears'' into Green Arrow for [[spoiler:letting him be captured and not doing more to save him (his own clone had to save him instead)]]. Ollie is ''crushed'' by this and considers himself a terrible mentor.
321	** In "Darkest", Wally calls Nightwing out for [[spoiler:allowing Mount Justice to be destroyed and having Aqualad capture Beast Boy, Impulse, and Blue Beetle in exchange for information on the Light]]. More generally, any time Dick does something rude or inconsiderate or too freakin' dangerous, Wally will point it out. This is such a regular aspect of their relationship that Dick deliberately leaves Wally behind in the episode "Performance," because he didn't want Wally to question his objectivity, given the personal nature of the mission he was leading. In Season 3, after [[spoiler:Wally has been dead for two years]], Will Harper [[spoiler:(the clone of Roy Harper)]] points out that Dick seriously relied on Wally to do this for him and help him keep things in perspective.
322	** In "Before the Dawn", [[spoiler:Artemis gives one to M'Gann after the latter [[MindRape Mind Rapes]] Aqualad in a coma. Interestingly Artemis' tone is more hurt than anything else and her ''speech'' is just simply "M'Gann, what have you done?"]] This results in a [[HeroicBSOD HBSD]] for poor M'Gann since [[spoiler:she found out Aqualad was a [[FakeDefector fake traitor]]...but only after putting him in the coma]].
323	** In "The Fix", first Nightwing [[spoiler:reveals the truth behind Aqualad to Lagoon Boy and Superboy. La'Gaan is understandably pissed, railing against both Nightwing -- for lying to them -- and Superboy -- for not doing enough to save Miss Martian.]] After ostensibly defending him, [[spoiler:Superboy then tears into him in the hallway.]]
324	** The revival, ''Outsiders'' opened with Batman and a group of other League members leaving the League, taking their proteges with them, and Nightwing seeming to form a team separate from the League's own covert ops unit. This has resulted in a number of these:
325	*** "Princes All", has the inciting incident itself, when Batman and Green Arrow, among others, quit, with Black Canary calling them out for abandoning Kaldur, who is now Aquaman II, and Diana, the latter of whom is out in space. When Batman tries to recruit a just-resigned (for other reasons) Black Lightning, he gets this again, as Jeff flat-out tells him he doesn't trust Bruce.
326	*** "Triptych" later revealed [[spoiler:that Batman, Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Robin III, Oracle Aquaman II, and Miss Martian were in league together in secret the whole time, trying to circumvent the Light's hold on the UN and the populace. However, Diana isn't fond of keeping their teammates in the dark and attempts to call them out.]]
327	*** "Elder Wisdom" once again sees [[spoiler:Diana call out the "Anti-Light" for staging a battle (Bruce posing as a father of a missing girl, M'gann posing as said daughter, and robots the League seized from years of battle) to make the newly-public Outsiders (as most of the covert ops unit is now going by) look good.]]
328	*** "Antisocial Pathologies" sees [[spoiler:Jeff figure out what's going on and calls out them, and informs the Outsiders. Beast Boy then joins in on calling them out, especially upon learning that Kaldur took a dive in "First Impressions" to make the Outsiders look good and the staged incident in "Elder Wisdom". Jeff is then livid upon learning that Kaldur and Bruce aren't sorry and Barbara points out to Gar that while the Outsiders are publicly a separate team, really, they're still part of the League. Barbara then calls out Bruce on being SecretlySelfish upon the fact that the Anti-Light consists of people who are used to deferring to him (Dick, Tim, and Barbara herself being his proteges, and Kaldur and M'gann from the Team being formed during his tenure as Justice League leader) and the one person who isn't, Diana, is in space, where all she can do is criticize the lot of them.]]
