History DownerEnding / WesternAnimation

** What is it with Spider-Man shows getting cancelled??

** ''You're Getting Old'' [[spoiler: Stan has a falling out with his friends and his parents get a divorce. Stan sees the entire world as shit.]] All while sad music plays.

*** Sonic SatAM, anyone?

** It's really only a downer if you don't think Candace is an evil bitch who deserves everything she gets.

* The British animated film ''{{The Plague Dogs}}'' is depressing throughout, with the story being based around two dogs who escape from an animal testing lab and try to survive in the Lake District. However, even by the standards of the rest of the film, the ending can still be considered a downer. The film ends with the two dogs being hunted by the Army, who believe that they are carrying the bubonic plague. The dogs are cornered at the beach, and try to swim to an island that doesn't really exist. It is implied that they drown.

** '''[[TheNostalgiaCritic NO! BUT I EXPECTED IT FROM A FUCKING BUGS BUNNY CARTOON!]]'''

---> "And they all lived happily ever after... [[{{DudeNotFunny}} except for Kyle, who died of AIDs 2 weeks later.]]
*** "God d*mnit, Cartman!"

* The Ben10UltimateAlien episode "Revenge of the Swarm" ends with Elena killing herself to stop the Hive Queen.....Only to reveal that they are still active.

* The ''PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Candace Gets Busted" ends with... [[SpoilerTitle Do I really need to say it]]?

*** Don't forget the one that parodies Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast. That ends with "Gloomy Sunday", a song some people actually commit suicide to.

* ''{{Spiderman The Animated Series}}'' has an episode that shocked us with its combination of Downer Ending and AudienceSuckerPunch. Mary Jane and Peter had finally gotten married at the beginning of the season, after MJ had been lost down a inter dimensional portal and come back. They are starting their honeymoon when Hydroman kidnaps MJ right under Peter's nose. He manages to find her again, only for it to be revealed that both Hydroman and MJ are in fact clones, made from a process that hasn't been perfected yet. MJ ends up disintigrating in Peter's arms. Even worse, when you realize that this means the real Mary Jane has been floating in the inter dimensional portal all this time. These two episodes left many in a state of shock for hours. The remaining 5 episodes managed to turn it into a BittersweetEnding as Spider-Man saves reality itself from being destroyed but Mary Jane is still missing.

* The PhineasAndFerb episode "Candace Gets Busted" ends with... [[SpoilerTitle Do I really need to say it]]?

* ''{{ReBoot}}'' loved these after getting DarkerAndEdgier. ''Web World Wars'' ends with Bob exiled in the web and Megabyte in position to take over. ''Game Over'' ends with Enzo '''losing an eye''' and the game resulting in everyone thinking he's dead. ''System Crash'' ends with Phong explaining that despite their hard work, Mainframe is still doomed. Then comes the cliffhanger in season 4, where Megabyte has taken over the Principal office.

* Season one of ''TitanMaximum'' ends with Gibbs succeeding at frying Mercury and killing billions of old people. The episode was titled [[MeaningfulName One Billion Dead Grandparents]] after all.
* Would you believe there was an episode of ''TomAndJerry'' that ended with them both sitting on a train track waiting to commit suicide by train? And just as it irises out, you hear the sound of a train whistle? Chilling.
