History CrazyPrepared / WesternAnimation

--> Ooooooh, an avalanche is comin', and I do not feel prepared,
--> It's rumblin' like a mountain lion - I must say that I'm scared,
--> And if not for the witch's spell, you'd hear just how I scream,
--> But since I'm only singin',
--> I'll just yodel 'til we're creamed!

--> I was prepared!

* In ''CaptainNTheGameMaster'', Simon Belmont can occasionally seem like this due to his backpack serving as a BagOfHolding.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode ''[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesTheClockKing The Clock King]]'', the eponymous villain has studied Batman's moves just in case he survives the DeathTrap. And Fugate manages to fight Batman to a standstill.

* In an episode that marked the beginning of AnArc in ''ReBoot'', "Nullzilla," Phong ''just happened'' to have a plan to deal with an out-of-control Godzilla-sized villain/Null amalgamation-thing running amok. It involved HumongousMecha and an extended parody of both {{Sentai}} and ''{{Thunderbirds}}''. This was appropriately [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]].

'''Ed''': [[SelfDepreciation Cheap movie.]]

-->'''Eddy''': A peanut?\\
'''Ed''': Cheap movie.

* At the ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode ''[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesTheClockKing The Clock King]]'' The eponimous villain has studied TheBatman moves just in case he survives the DeathTrap. And Fugate manages to fight the best Martial Artist [[{{Franchise/DCAU}} his Universe]] to a Stand Still because he is a CosmicPlaything.
-->'''ClockKing:''' ''I've studied news footage of you. I know that it takes you exactly 1/20 of a second to throw a punch. ''
** Deconstructed when Batman pulls a Gas mask from his HyperspaceArsenal UtilityBelt and discovers ClockKing is DangerouslyGenreSavvy enough to plan for that:
-->'''Clock King:''' (on tape) '' [[StockPhrases Sorry I couldn't be with you in person, Batman, but I've got a train to catch]]. This box contains a high-speed vacuum pump. [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy I know you've got all kind of gas masks, so I'm putting you out of my misery by simply removing all the oxygen from the room]]. [[RaceAgainstTheClock The process will take fifteen minutes...]]''

'''Ben Haramad''': Oh? Why do you think we brought the rope?

* Parodied in ''TheSimpsons'' episode "Bart Gets An Elephant": when a peanut factory foreman spots the title elephant approaching, he gives the following dramatic announcement:

* FoghornLeghorn after a [[NonFatalExplosions Non Fatal Explosion]]: "Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency." (He used that gag in ''two'' episodes, actually.) He has also been known to carry around "a spare suit" of feathers, that he slips on like a giant onesie.

* ''{{Fishtronaut}}'': The little fish agent wears a powerful [[IronMan suit]] with a lot of mystery-solving equipment. He should carry more rebreathers on them, though.

** Makes one wonder [[FridgeHorror what he uses it for when he's not stuck under ice ...]]
*** [[MundaneUtility Slicing pizza?]]
*** His comment seems to imply he made it because he could.

* On ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Pinkie Pie can set up a party seemingly at a moment's notice. In "Sweet and Elite", it's revealed that she owns a "party cannon" that can instantly blast a room full of decorations. According to "It's About Time", she has rubber balls and eyepatches hidden all over Ponyville (including one in Twilight Sparkle's kitchen fireplace) for emergency use. Both items come in handy; Twilight uses a ball to lure Cerberus back to Tartarus, then ends up wearing a patch after she accidentally looks at the sun through her telescope.
** In the third season premiere, King Sombra seems to be one of these if you examine his actions enough. [[spoiler: He hides the Crystal Heart (his primary weakness) on top of his castle where his earth pony subjects couldn't reach it, the only means of access being a through a passageway hidden by magic, on the other side of a cursed door that displays the worst nightmare of anyone who opens it. Both of these are impossible to get through without magic, which ''none of his subjects had''. Then it turns out that even if one gets past those, the heart itself is warded against magic and teleportation anyway, and messing with it activates ''another'' spell that starts re-asserting his influence over the kingdom. And to top it off, the entire city is under a spell of magically-induced depression, because the Crystal Heart is powered by happiness, and even if someone managed to get the thing out of Sombra's castle, they wouldn't actually be able to ''use'' it because everyone was too depressed to activate its power.]]
*** What he wasn't counting on was a team of foreigners--some of whom ''did'' have magic.

** In a "U.S Acres" episode, the characters lampshaded this with a restaurant that can make anything with a "''How to Cook Anything Cookbook''". Their customer asks for an elephant sandwhich. However, neither didn't want to harm an elephant they found, so as a joke to make it work it they brought it back:

* In the "and Friends" episode, the characters lampshaded this with a resturant that can make anything with a "''How to Cook Anything Cookbook''". Their customer asks for an elephant sandwhich. However, neither didn't want to harm an elephant they found, so as a joke to make it work it they brought it back:

--> '''Ron:''' " Yeah, you never know..."\\

*** This doubles as a ContinuityNod as Ron was caught without them at the start of the previous finale.

--> '''Ron:''' " Yeah, you never know..."//

--> '''Ron:''' " Yeah, you never know..."

*** His comment seems to imply he made it ''just'' to be able to make it.

** After hearing about [[spoiler: the original Roy's rescue]] he anticipated the exact nature of the boy's revenge [[spoiler: blowing Luthor's arm off with his own technology because his own arm was cut off so The Light would have an endless supply of his DNA to perfect their cloning technique,]] and prepared a solution that would not only negate his anger but make him intensely grateful. [[spoiler: it was a bionic and weaponized arm.]]

* Slade ''lives'' this trope on ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. He always seems to have a backup plan and an escape plan (if he appears in person at all - he's very fond of using robotic duplicates of himself to mislead the heroes. He always seems to be one step ahead of the the Titans, and even when they foiled his plans, they were usually only helping a much bigger one succeed.

* FoghornLeghorn after a [[NonFatalExplosions Non Fatal Explosion]]: "Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency." He has also been known to carry around "a spare suit" of feathers, that he slips on like a giant onesie.

* In the EdEddNEddy episode "X Marks the Ed", Rolf prepares what he calls "Carbuncle of the Flesh Stew" to rid Eddy of his [[RiseOfZitboy giant pimple.]] When Rolf mentions that it has to simmer for 14 days and 14 nights, he shows that in cooking show fashion, he thought ahead and pre-made a batch.
