History KarmaHoudiniWarranty / WesternAnimation

* I added the line back *giggles*

* I added this line just for funsies.

** At the end of "Marge vs. the Monorail", Lyle Lanley escapes from Springfield on a plane and it looks like he's about to become a KarmaHoudini for conning various towns into buying faulty and dangerous monorails. Then he [[OhCrap realizes the plane he's on is going to another town he previously conned]], [[TheDogBitesBack where he is attacked and beaten by an angry mob upon landing]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'':

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': In "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E36TrueColorsTrue Colors]]," after a lifetime of pushing Anne around, [[spoiler:and lying to and manipulating her, Anne [[RageBreakingPoint finally snaps]] and [[TheDogBitesBack attacks Sasha]]. Anne refuses to [[CassandraTruth believe Sasha]] about King Andrias being evil, due to [[CryingWolf having no reason to trust Sasha]], since the latter has [[TheFarmerAndTheViper done nothing but lie, manipulate, use, and betray Anne]] every second they've been together since they arrived in Amphibia. Sasha can only watch helplessly as Anne bests her in combat and hands the box over to the evil king; she has no one to blame but herself for Anne no longer believing or trusting her]].

* D.W. from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' often gets away with her brattiness and LackOfEmpathy. That being said, there are occasions where her parents would properly discipline her when she does something wrong. Case in point, in "D.W. the Picky Eater", she throws a tantrum at a restaurant over being served spinach, and her parents are absolutely appalled at this and [[GoToYourRoom send her to her room]]. There's also the time where she [[BigBrotherBully threatened to pinch baby Kate for touching her toys]], and she gets properly grounded for it.

* Will Harangue from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'', notorious for his irrational hatred of Ben 10 and being a HateSink and {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/SpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]], somehow managed to get away with creating a KillerRobot and sending it to kill Ben, even avoiding getting arrested. As a result, most of his appearances in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' essentially consist of him getting everything in the face: [[LesCollaborateurs him supporting the Incurseans' invasion of Earth]] in "Frogs of War", just because they sent Ben away, causes him to lose ratings when the occupation is over, and when working with the Forever Knights in their goal to [[FantasticRacism exterminate all aliens]], again just because they both hate Ben, he eventually [[KarmicTransformation gets turned against his will into an alien]], it helps that Ben himself did this to him in the form of Jury Rigg. He eventually subverts this in the GrandFinale to the series, where his future self had a HeelFaceTurn and is now the cameraman to a grown-up Jimmy Jones.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': The original Earl of Lemongrab gets away with some rather despicable actions in the episode "You Made Me." He [[DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery used his mental condition as an excuse]] to A) torture four children and a dog, B) repeatedly harass the Candy Citizens by sneaking into their rooms to watch them sleep, C)punched/slapped/shoved/screamed at a baby, D) terrorized his pet camel, E) tried to KO and torture Princess Bubblegum, who was ''actually being kind to him'' for the whole episode, and F) have the gall at the end to "pardon" the prisoners rather than admit he was wrong and simply ''release'' them. Then in "Another Five Short Graybles," Lemongrab goes completely AxCrazy and '''eats his clone alive when his clone accidentally breaks their toy'''; and in "Too Old" he gets away crossing the MoralEventHorizon with abusing his children for the smallest things, eating his clone (again), and trying to force his sons to kill Finn and Princess Bubblegum. He '''finally''' gets his comeuppance in "Lemonhope Story", when Lemonhope blows him up with his harp, and Princess Bubblegum sews him and his clone back up as one entity and decides that he's only mentally stable when he's lonely. The new Lemongrab then has to go through a mentally taxing spiritual ordeal [[HeelFaceTurn in order to ultimately redeem the sins of his past self]].

* ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf'': Just because TheBadGuyWins in their own episodes, doesn't mean it's going to stick.
** In ''What If... Earth Lost its Mightiest Heroes?'', the episode ends with Loki taking over Earth almost effortlessly because the Avengers aren't there to stop him, but Nick Fury finds Captain America and recalls Captain Marvel, so there's an implication that his victory won't last and the Avengers will reform. [[spoiler: When Uatu rewards Infinity Ultron's Black Widow by letting her live in place of her DeadAlternateCounterpart, she quickly takes him out.]]
** A DiscussedTrope in ''What If... Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?''. When Killmonger meets T'Challa (who he killed to stoke US/Wakanda tensions) on the astral plane, T'Challa notes that even if his schemes ''do'' work, he'll have a lot of very angry Black Panthers waiting for him in the afterlife. And his episode ends with all of his schemes going off as planned, but Pepper and Shuri escape with damning evidence against him... [[spoiler: When he next appears, the Watcher saves him from the rebellion that Pepper and Shuri started... but he then gets frozen in time by Dr. Strange Supreme while making a play for the Infinity Stones.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', both the Riddler and the Clock King managed to escape in their initial episodes, leaving them free to continue seeking out revenge on their victims in the future. However, both of their second appearances see them captured by Batman and Robin in the end, and, in the case of the Riddler, even ends up having his mind fried as his taunting of Batman left him with no time to escape his VirtualReality before it collapsed.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': A meta-example. Angelica was initially intended by the creators to be a permanent KarmaHoudini to teach children that sometimes life isn't fair. However, the creators themselves eventually got sick of Angelica's brattiness, so they decided to start having her face punishment.

** At the end of "Marge vs. the Monorail", Lyle Lanley escapes from Springfield on a plane and it looks like he's about to become a KarmaHoudini for conning various towns into buying faulty and dangerous monorails. Then he [[OhCrap realizes the plane he's on is going to another town he previously conned]], where he is attacked and beaten by an angry mob upon landing.

*** Cartman's warranty expires for good at the end of the the "Post-Covid" two parter. It first seemed that Cartman got away with committing countless atrocities by growing up to have a happy life with a loving wife and kids. Then Stan and Kyle change the future (ironically with even ''his'' [[HeroicSacrifice genuine assitance]]) where Cartman loses his happy life and loving family, instead becoming a miserable and lonely homeless alcoholic in the new future.

* ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'': Princess Amber apparently got away with ruining Sofia's dance lesson out of jealousy in the pilot movie ''Once Upon a Princess'', and she gets her comeuppance in the episode "A Royal Wedding" when her twin brother James sabotages their aunt's wedding to make her look bad in an effort to prove that he's more fit to rule Enchancia than her.

** There are times Eric Cartman gets away with his actions. That said there are also several instances where Cartman suffers the appropriate amount of punishment:
