History ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' are a good example of this. Each smurf's name reflects their personality. Grouchy Smurf is grouchy, Handy Smurf is handy, Papa Smurf is their, well, papa.

* In the animated version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'', the monster who lives across the street from the protagonist is named... the Monster Across the Street.

** The WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner short "WesternAnimation/StopLookAndHasten" has Wile follow the instructions from a book titled "How to Build a Burmese Tiger Trap". One guess what he catches in the resulting pit instead of the Road Runner. Likewise, a Giant Mouse Trap will catch [[RodentsOfUnusualSize a giant mouse]]. Who is none too pleased with the coyote.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' took pain to show that the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer can ''really'' go on all types on terrain, with such things as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwHVsWSJmv4 vertical assault]], [[https://youtu.be/ywBZNZEr8q8?t=170 fighting on asteroids]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gJ6ksFJub8 boarding an enemy ship from outside]].

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' features toy glasses with toothed metallic "jaws" called "Eyebiters". They [[spoiler: bite the wearer's eyes.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' (original series) irregularly featured a talking dog named Talking Dog.

* ''WesternAnimation/BoyGirlDogCatMouseCheese''. If you're wondering who the main characters are, all six of them are mushed together right in the title. And yes [[ADogNamedDog even the two human kids are just called Boy and Girl instead of having actual names.]] [[WidgetSeries The title and names are only the beginning of how weird it can get]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries'' '''''loves''''' doing this. Every episode title describes what happens and [[LongTitle gets progressively longer]] with each title until episode 6, "The Last Episode Ever." It was meant to be a subversion and an in-joke, but the series was cancelled shortly after its completion.

* ''WesternAnimation/FishPolice'': The main characters are fish. [[TheyFightCrime Crime-fighting fish]].

** ShowWithinAShow ''[[Series/KnightRider Knightboat: The Crime Solving Boat]]'' is about a boat named Knightboat [[TheyFightCrime that solves crimes.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'' takes it UpToEleven. The kickity-kick ball is one example, as it is a rubber ball that characters ''kick''.

** The camping episode was titled..."The Camping Episode".

* ''WesternAnimation/BoyGirlDogCatMouseCheese''. If you're wondering who the main characters are, all six of them are mushed together right in the title. And yes [[ADogNamedDog even the two human kids are just called Boy and Girl instead of having actual names.]] [[WidgetSeries The title and names are only the beginning of how weird it can get]]
