* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'': Commander Vachir harasses [[TheDreaded Tai Lung]] that someone ''else'' is going to be the Dragon Warrior, but ''not'' him, which is the sole reason behind Tai Lung's StartOfDarkness. He stomps on his tail, which makes Tai Lung unsurprisingly goes on an endless rampage and explodes the entire prison because of this.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'':
** Bob Parr as his SecretIdentity, works at an insurance company and is constantly browbeaten by his tiny boss Mr. Huph. When the boss stops Bob from coming to the aid of a mugging victim, then makes fun of the situation, he loses it and throws Huph through a few walls. Even if his boss didn't know he had superpowers, Bob has about five feet and a couple hundred pounds on him. This example is at least somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]] since Huph is, well, Bob's ''boss''. Predictably, after throwing his employer through the wall and severely injuring him, Bob is fired.

* At the start of ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'', Puss's catchphrase is that he laughs at death and has put himself in dangerous situations with the knowledge that he had his 9 lives to fall back on if he doesn't make it. As a result of making bad decision after bad decision, Puss loses his lives until he finally gets down to his ninth and final one. It then turns out that in handling his lives so carelessly and arrogantly laughing at death and believing he was immortal, Puss, without even realizing it, mocked the ''literal Grim Reaper himself''. Now that Puss is down to his 9th and final life, Death himself decides to pay Puss a visit and believes that since Puss always laughed at him, the least Death can do is kill Puss in a final blaze of glory through a duel. When Puss finally accepts that he should be more appreciative of life and accept that Death is inevitable for him, Death accepts Puss's new outlook on life and decides to leave him alone.

Linguini's response is to call Ego "thin for someone who likes food", prompting a collective gasp from everyone present. Ego actually needs a minute to respond, stunned that Linguini was that brave.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', Alice is put on trial by the Queen of Hearts for offending her and is about to be executed (by beheading, naturally) until Alice remembers that she has some mushrooms from earlier [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever which allow her to grow giant in size]]. She then eats them and grows gigantic. Everyone is now intimidated by her size, even the Queen. Alice then starts telling the Queen off. Unfortunately, however, as she berates Her Majesty, the effects of the mushrooms wear off prematurely, and Alice shrinks back down to normal size, at which point [[OhCrap she realizes she's in big trouble now]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains'', this is used as a RunningGag, as every single time Donald tries to scare someone with his costumes, it backfires horrendously, especially when he tries it with ''[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Beast]]''. During "Trick Or Treat", his tangling with Witch Hazel also counts.
* A heroic example occurs in ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter''. When the witches capture Shrek and bring him before Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpelstiltskin proceeds to gloat about how he was conned--culminating in telling him his kids no longer exist. All Rumpelstiltskin accomplishes, though, is enraging Shrek to the point of breaking free and escaping.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'', Saddam's constant verbal abuse towards Satan [[spoiler:eventually becomes his own un-doing once Saddam calls Satan a "weak, stupid cum bucket"]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'': Hopper knows that while the ants are smaller individually, they outnumber the grasshoppers by a hundred to one and that if the ants realized their numerical superiority, the grasshoppers would be crushed. However, in a comparatively intelligent move for this trope, Hopper's actions to antagonize the ants is done deliberately to make the ants feel weak and helpless, so they ''don't'' realize their collective advantage.
