* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'': Jude can get a tan from the mall's ''florescent'' lights. His explanation: "The key to a good va-cay is all in the ''mind''." Nikki shouted how impossible this was, but the tan was there, so there wasn't much she could do about it.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** While the show has a habit of doing this anyway, Billy's backstory had him defeat a HumanoidAbomination and literally ''PUNCH AN '''OCEAN TO DEATH'''''. [[note]]Also, HE FOUGHT A '''BEAR!'''[[/note]]
** Finn popped a bubble he had made into a black hole with a four-dimensional sword despite in-show and real life logic and physics saying otherwise.
* On ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', it's mentioned that Jeff's MissingMom somehow ran away before she gave birth to him. Upon being told this, Stan asks [[HowIsThatEvenPossible how could she even do that]].



* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'',

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':



* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'': In an early episode, the only thing standing between Manhattan Island and sliding into a watery grave was the Hulk. When Iron Man told the other Avengers, Hawkeye is gobsmacked, telling him that's impossible. Iron Man responds "No, just... incredible."
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'': The Contumelia are the 5-D species that created the universe. They claim that the extradimensional ContainmentField around the Annihilargh is impossible to breach. Ben proves them wrong by having Skurd shift his arm into a sword made with [[RealityWarper Alien X's]] DNA (who comes from [[OutsideContextProblem outside the universe]]) and [[CuttingThroughEnergy slicing through the barrier]]. [[AllPowerfulBystander The Contumelia]] find this "interesting".
* ''WesternAnimation/BensCity'': "The Debris" contains a lot of supernatural elements, and the ending of "The All Inclusive" feels like a KarmicTwistEnding. Yet, most of the rest of the series happens in a very realistic world.
* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'':
** In the climax of "Hurty Tooth", Cricket gives Dr. Enamel a speech on what he's learned on how important the dentist is and is ready for his aching tooth to be extracted; suddenly, Dr. Enamel reveals he already pulled the tooth out while Cricket was talking to him.
--->'''Cricket:''' Whaaa?! Dang, you ''are'' good.
** In "Dolled Up", Bill somehow manages to construct a dollhouse out of ''a single wooden board.''
* ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'': Blaze tends to do this on occasion, normally to escape cheats Crusher thought ''no one'' would escape from.
** In "The Hundred Mile Race", he turns into a hydraulic spreader which manage to rip apart the impossibly strong webs created by Crusher's trapping spider.
** The titular Power Tires which serve as a humongous DeusExMachina, but what takes the cake is their Lava Power, which allows Blaze to ''drive right through lava.''
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': In the first episode it's stated that a million cameras are watching the cast, yet the same episode has Toot die four times and come back with no explanation (sometimes in the ''next scene'' after '''her first death'''). Think about how unbelievable that is. The first episode also has Xandir say that he's died 8 million times saving his girlfriend, easily the most deaths of any fictional character in history and the most devoted boyfriend in any work of fiction in history...yet the episode opens by saying he's gay. WordOfGod says that [[SurrealHumor nothing in this show happens for any reason other than to be funny.]] You'd go nuts trying to comprehend it.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'':
** The first plot arc featured a dog(?) who had been looking for the city of gold for centuries. When asked how he stayed alive that long, all he said was "Sheer willpower!"
** In the episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E12TopDuck Top Duck]]", the story opens with [[CaptainCrash Launchpad]] attempting a stunt that Huey claims no pilot has ever survived. Not only does Launchpad survive the botched attempt, but also he goes on to perform the stunt to save Scrooge from falling out of the sky during an aerial battle with the Beagle Boys (and he doesn't crash either!).
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': Discussed in the GrandFinale as [[spoiler: Bradford's]] justification for not just throwing Scrooge into the Solego Vortex, which erases anything thrown into it from existence. He's convinced Scrooge would ''still'' find a way to come back from CessationOfExistence just because "He's [[TheAce Scrooge McDuck]]".
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "The Same Game", when Timmy gets fed up with [[DepravedDentist Dr. Bender]] gloating about his own perfect teeth (actually dentures) while making fun of the former's, he wishes for a world where every human is a nondescript blob and everything is in shades of gray. His mother, a LethalChef who previously made a pink casserole that immediately went bad and turned gray, makes a gray casserole in this new reality that goes bad and turns pink. Ergo, her cooking managed to be so bad that it somehow defied the effects of two {{Reality Warper}}s changing the entire planet, turning into a different color in a world where the concept of color no longer existed.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'': Cosgrove has the ability to make '''any group of characters''' immediately stop fighting and behave themselves, from common burglars to supervillain mooks. It even works on [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} The Warner Brothers (and Sister).]] The premise of their own show was their inability to be contained or controlled.
* ''WesternAnimation/FudencioESeusAmigos'': Safeno, a sick kid who has perpertually terrible health, mentioned once that he finally found a compatible lung for him after eleven years. The problem is, Safeno is only ''nine years old''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** Many of Professor Farnsworth's inventions involve screwing logic. For example, the Planet Express ship doesn't fly, it stays put and moves the universe around it. Not to mention the boxes in Universe 1 and Universe A, which contain each other's universes - until the Professor and his Universe A counterpart somehow switch them, so that each box ''contains its own universe''.
---> '''Professor:''' Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it.
** On multiple occasions, bending robots have bent "unbendable" girders. Bender in particular has bent objects that shouldn't be able to bend, including a wooden door and a brick wall.
** This is why they've provided the page quote for VoodooShark. To elaborate, the episode takes place at the bottom of the ocean. Zoidberg finds an empty shell, which he moves into and turns into his home. Later in the episode, said home has burned down. The impossibility of this is lampshaded, then HandWaved as where Bender left his cigar.
** Bender's arms came off in the pilot and he managed to put them both back on by himself. Lampshaded by Fry: "I don't know how you did that".[[note]]This is subtly explained in a later episode: Bender's arms are shown to be able to operate completely independently of his body, and seem to have some measure of artificial intelligence[[/note]]
** Scientists increased the speed of light in 2208.
** In "Future Stock", Igner is given a controller with only two buttons, "yes" and "no". He somehow manages to press the non-existent "Pat Buchanan" button.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': A lot of people Mr. Cat knows are capable of doing insane things, like a guy who somehow swallowed 12 miles of sausage without swallowing and a guy who stuffs chickpeas with gloves.
* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'':
** Master Yao can do more than SupernaturalMartialArts and perform outright magic such as TimeStandsStill and do physical attacks with his mind.
** There are techniques called the "Seven Impossible Moves" which would be better named "six moves that are impossible for anyone lacking TheGift". Po and Fenghuang can do them because they have it and this is presumably what fuels the latter's [[TheSocialDarwinist "strong rule the weak"]] beliefs.
*** Fenghusng later demonstrated 5 additional impossible moves that not even Shifu knew.
** "The Three Needles" is a trick that is repeatedly stated to be impossible. Po accomplishes it by cheating with magic shoes. Which is how Shifu and the others knew that he was cheating.



* Played for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. The duo have failed to reform 627 in [[DefeatMeansFriendship the usual way,]] so they ask Jumba, resident EvilGenius and 627's creator, if they can dehydrate him back into pod form.
-->'''Jumba''': No. When something is hydrated there is absolutely ''no way'' for it to being dehydrated.
-->'''TV Commerical''': [[CoincidentalBroadcast Have you ever wanted to dehydrate something? Now you can!]]
** They place an order and the device works.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': In "Porky and Daffy," Daffy is in a prize fight against a bruiser rooster and is running from him in the ring. Porky tells Daffy to get on his bicycle (slang for strategic retreat from the opponent) so Daffy hops on an invisible bicycle, bell and all.
-->'''Daffy:''' I'm so crazy, I don't know that this is impossible!
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'': In "Sees Stars", the Bus manages to manufacture a new star, a process which takes millions of years, in mere ''minutes''. Even the caller at the end, who by now is presumably used to the Bus's ability to manipulate time locally, feels compelled to tell the producer how that one was extreme even for the Bus.
* ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'' has a FreezeRay that can freeze fire.
* WesternAnimation/MightyMouse seems to have control over the forces of nature. In "The Johnstown Flood," he uses hypnosis to force the floodwaters back into the breached dam and the dam itself back into its unbroken state.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'': Murphy's law allows Milo to do some pretty insane things. These include ''causing'' a fire with water and setting vinegar and baking soda on fire despite the mixture being endothermic.



* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** While the show has a habit of doing this anyway, Billy's backstory had him defeat a HumanoidAbomination and literally ''PUNCH AN '''OCEAN TO DEATH'''''. [[note]]Also, HE FOUGHT A '''BEAR!'''[[/note]]
** Finn popped a bubble he had made into a black hole with a four-dimensional sword despite in-show and real life logic and physics saying otherwise.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'', Nox, the main villain of the first season, is a powerful [[TimeMaster Xelor]] who has been alive for over 200 years, collecting life energy and feeding it to a powerful magical artifact called the [[AmplifierArtifact Eliacube]], trying to accumulate enough energy to turn back time in order to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong undo a mistake which caused the death of his family]]. However, while the strongest Xelors are capable of TimeTravel to a limited extent, what Nox wants to do is [[ResetButton reverse time for the whole universe by 200 years]], a feat that's outright stated to beyond even the Xelor's patron god of the same name. The ancient dragon Grougaloragan outright says that it can't be done and Nox's far more likely to just destroy the universe in the attempt. In the end, he manages to achieve his energy goal and actually succeeds in turning back time [[spoiler: by 20 minutes.]]
* Played for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. The duo have failed to reform 627 in [[DefeatMeansFriendship the usual way,]] so they ask Jumba, resident EvilGenius and 627's creator, if they can dehydrate him back into pod form.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz's flashbacks to a powerful magical artifact called the [[AmplifierArtifact Eliacube]], trying to accumulate enough energy to turn back time in order to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong undo a mistake which caused the death his HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood shows that neither of his family]]. parents were at the hospital for his birth. [[labelnote:*]] However, while there could be an [[FridgeBrilliance interpretation]] that maybe as soon as he was born, his parents abandoned him there.[[/labelnote]]
** In "Doof Side of
the strongest Xelors are capable of TimeTravel to a limited extent, what Nox wants to do is [[ResetButton reverse time for the whole universe by 200 years]], a feat that's outright Moon", it's stated to beyond even that the Xelor's patron god building Phineas and Ferb built could not be moved by any force on Earth. It turns out to be a case of ExactWords, as it's moved by a force from the ''Moon''.
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': In one episode, Benson asks Mordecai and Rigby to park a car. Somehow, they drive it through Benson's office window...and his office is ''on the second floor''. All Mordecai gives as an explanation is that he thought he could drive stick, but it turns out he can't.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In "Homer Goes To College", Homer once caused a nuclear meltdown in a truck containing a ''simulation'' of a nuclear power plant in which it was explicitly lampshaded by one of the supervisors who directly stated that there was not a single speck of radioactive material. In
the same name. The ancient dragon Grougaloragan outright says that it can't be done and Nox's far more likely to just destroy the universe in the attempt. episode, he also, ''somehow'', caused a criticality incident with a ''classroom model'' of a proton accelerator.

* ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'' has a FreezeRay
sure how he did that.
** In "The Old Man And The Lisa", Homer drinks lots of beer so
that Lisa can freeze have enough cans for recycling. However, that eventually gets to him when, after Lisa turns down Burns' offer, Homer suffers '''''four simultaneous heart attacks''''' (and a fifth one after Lisa tells Homer that 10% of $120,000,000 isn't $12,000...[[note]]It's $12,000,000, in case you were wondering[[/note]]).
** In "Homer the Smithers", when Homer is making breakfast for Mr. Burns, he pours cereal and milk into a bowl... which then spontaneously catches on
fire.
** In "The Mansion Family" when going to visit the Mayo Clinic for a routine checkup, Mr. Burns is horrified to learn that he has every disease known to man, including rubella (which, circa 2000, was ''incredibly'' rare to contract and was nearly eradicated), juvenile diabetes, and ''hysterical pregnancy''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekLowerDecksS1E02Envoys Envoys]]", Rutherford's first training simulation goes extremely poorly -- not only does he get his ship blown up, casualties are estimated at 105%. Somehow.
-->'''Rutherford:''' Wait, how did I kill more than the whole crew?

Many have tried, including the [[GreaterScopeVillain Three Ancestral Witches]], and all of them have failed. All of them except the Trix, who did just that in ''season 1'', much to the denial of other and more experienced characters (including one who had actually worked for the Ancestral Witches before having a HeelFaceTurn). They weren't completely successful at it, as Bloom still maintained enough she could eventually manifest and take back all that was taken from her, but it was still far beyond anyone had ever achieved, or even thought possible.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "The Same Game", when Timmy gets fed up with [[DepravedDentist Dr. Bender]] gloating about his own perfect teeth (actually dentures) while making fun of the former's, he wishes for a world where every human is a nondescript blob and everything is in shades of gray. His mother, a LethalChef who previously made a pink casserole that immediately went bad and turned gray, makes a gray casserole in this new reality that goes bad and turns pink.

* Marvel's ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' shows an alternate universe where Doctor Strange's girlfriend, Doctor Christine Palmer, died in the car accident that, in the main universe, cost him the use of his hands instead. This lead to him learning magic and becoming the Sorcerer Supreme. Eventually he tried to use the Time Stone to go back in time and save Christine, only to find that no matter what he does, Christine still dies one way or another. The Ancient One explains that because Christine's death lead to the sequence of events that resulted in Strange becoming the Sorcerer Supreme and learning about time travel in the first place, if Christine does not die, Strange would not have had a reason to travel back in time, and thus would not have saved her. Her death is therefore an "Absolute Point" which cannot be undone through time travel. Undaunted, Strange then learns of a way to absorb magical creatures to eventually reach a level of power that would let him do it anyway. After doing so, he finally manages to save Christine; unfortunately, this results in a RealityBreakingParadox that destroys his universe, and her along with it.

* In ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' , it is stated and shown that Bloom's power, the Dragon's Flame, cannot be taken by force, only willingly given or inherited (all bearers have been related, with Bloom receiving it after her older sister's death and said sister inheriting it from their mother). Many have tried, including the [[GreaterScopeVillain Three Ancestral Witches]], and all of them have failed. All of them except the Trix, who did just that in ''season 1'', much to the denial of other and more experienced characters (including one who had actually worked for the Ancestral Witches before having a HeelFaceTurn). They weren't completely successful at it, as Bloom still maintained enough she could eventually manifest and take back all that was taken from her, but it was still far beyond anyone had ever achieved, or even thought possible.
