** In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'', there's a scene in which Starscream gets his foot stuck between two armor plates as Autobot City transforms into combat mode. To avoid getting squished, he's forced to [[AgonyOfDeFeet shoot his own foot off]], then flies off screaming "Oww, my foot!" It stands out among the otherwise serious fight scene.

** Many of the character designs are poorly conceived, and by that we mean they're more than a bit of a fucking mess. While Creator/JohnHurt's vocal performance as Aragorn is considered one of the film's strongest aspects, a lot of people found his stereotypically-Native American appearance and MagicSkirt (and quite obviously [[{{Squick}} going commando under it]]) off-putting. Likewise, Boromir and his [[HornyVikings ridiculous horned helmet]] didn't go down well, and Treebeard looks more like a weird, nude and balding dwarf (or as one commenter put, a cross between a boiled chicken and broccoli) than an ancient tree man. Nothing comes close however to the pathetic Balrog -- it looks like a man in a cheap lion costume with butterfly wings attached onto it.

** There's a scene in the reference footage when the characters are running through the wilds where badass woodsman Aragorn trips over the scabbard of his own sword and faceplants into the dirt -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KCLdHpObBE see it here]].

** The female characters got ridiculously dramatic - especially Lilandra, Rogue, and ComicBook/{{Storm}}, who would go into a fit of "Aaaaarghhhhh" or "Noooooo!" at the slightest injury.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': A lot of the series' unintentional hilarity in early seasons stems from the very... strange faces the engines make. "Thomas and the Breakdown Train" in particular has a rather serious scene of James being lifted by the titular crane after his accident that is immediately ruined by the [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Out of Nowhere]] cut to Thomas' infamous and downright bizarre "O" face.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'':
** Smurfette can be considered this due to her girly girl beautician personality and occassional damsel in distress moments.
*** An example is "Haunted Smurfs", where Smurfette cries that she can't go on while the others are departing from the village.
** The other Smurfs also had their fair share of narm moments, such as Brainy Smurf crying about being doomed when Hefty and Dreamy broke off the steering wheel of the ship in "Smurfs at Sea".
** In "Hats Off to Smurfs", Vanity and Gargamel's deformed faces are more mockery than gruesome. But it's understandable, as the faces couldn't be so ugly as to scare children.

** The European French equivalent of this line is rather childlike too: "Since they aren't white, they have to be nasty"

** Colossus grapples Omega red and implores Storm to freeze them both before the villain could break free. Colossus's delivery of his lines were so hammy and over the top that it's hard not laugh.

*** And if his voice wasn't this, his scream when Robin blows up the communicator he's attached to definitely is. It's too funny when somebody who uses a Stephen Hawking-like robotic voice screamed.

** In ''Sonic Conversion'', Bunnie is de-roboticised, but abruptly changes back to her original form. When she does so, she inexplicably disappears in a cloud of green smoke, dramatic music plays, and Sally frantically calls her name. The next shot is of Bunnie sitting on the floor with a dissonantly deadpan expression. Upon realising that she’s back to being a cyborg, Creator/ChristineCavanaugh gives out a small whine which sounds more like she dropped her ice cream.

** The battle scene was rotoscoped over the ice battle from ''Film/AlexanderNevsky'' -- which was a classic silent film. It made for some... overwrought drama; what makes for good acting has changed since then.

* ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' took itself much, much more seriously than its sister show ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. Despite this however, it wasn’t above some inadvertently silly moments.
** In the two-parter ''Blast to the Past'', the catalyst which causes Sonic to bemoan the war against Robotnik is the loss of two freedom fighters. Specifically, [[RedShirt a generic horse and bear]]. It doesn’t help that these two characters only appear in this episode and are never seen or heard from again. Yet Sonic takes their loss exceedingly hard.

** ''The Doomsday Project'' makes it abundantly clear that all of the Freedom Fighters across Mobius will band together to fight Robotnik. Half of the main cast stay at home and all the other Freedom Fighters are instantly captured, ultimately leaving everything up to Sonic and Sally. For the umpteenth time.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}}'': In the 1957 episode "The Magic Wand", Professor Hocus-Pocus accidentally leaves his magic wand at Gumby and Pokey's lemonade stand. When the wand goes crazy and accidentally knocks Mrs. Gumba's good pitcher off the stand, Pokey calmly says "Look out" right before it smashes to the ground. Only afterward does Pokey actually show any concern...
--> '''Pokey:''' ''(looking nervous)'' "Uh-oh! [[BrokenTreasure Your mother's good pitcher.]]"
