History Narm / WesternAnimation

** There is a scene where Xavier is suddenly hit with a MindRape ray coming from outside the building he resides in. The way he protests "You are driving me insane!", however, doesn't sound like he is experiencing immense pain. Instead, it sounds ''exasperated'', as though getting hit with a MindRape beam is nothing more than a recurring PracticalJoke that Xavier hates.

** Master Mold's death scene, when he's stopped from escaping his base [[AchillesPowerCord because of his power cord]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHojRrVEATE In an episode]] where the Koopas kidnap Music/MilliVanilli, Kootie Pie Koopa threatens to turn Rob and Fab into accountants (no, seriously)... which apparently involves tranforming them into well-groomed men in business suits. In other words, Kootie Pie Koopa wants to ''force Milli Vanilli to get real jobs'', made funnier by Rob and Fab's hysterical reactions when the Koopa makes good on her threat. [[note]]Though considering [[FunnyAneurysmMoment what happened]] in RealLife after Music/MilliVanilli was unmasked, that likely would've been an excellent evil plan.[[/note]]

-->"'''No.'''"\\

*** [[DullSurprise Rob and Fab's attempts at voice acting]]. Without exaggeration, it sounds like they shoved them into a recording booth and gave them a single take to record their lines. The best part comes when they have to laugh and ''both'' of them end up [[DullSurprise flatly reading]] "ha ha ha ha" off the script.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHojRrVEATE This]] episode of the ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'', in which Kootie Pie Koopa kidnaps Music/MilliVanilli and threatens them by turning them into accountants (no, seriously). Their reactions are hysterical.

** More emphasis needs to be placed on the fact that the evil plan of this episode involves ''forcing Milli Vanilli to get real jobs.'' (Though, considering [[FunnyAneurysmMoment what happened]] in RealLife after Music/MilliVanilli was unmasked, that likely would've been an excellent evil plan.)
*** And the song they sing in the episode is the ''exact'' song that infamously skipped during a live concert.
** The screaming fangirls' mouths are opened really wide.

*** That mostly applies to the Super Show. 3 and SMW for the most part already had generic royalty music, with the possible exception of the above.

** Unalaq tells Korra he needs her to open the Northern Spirit Portal. Then when she learns he's evil, he tells her that was just a lie to keep her in line. So far, it works pretty well. Then he tells Eska and Desna ''that'' was a lie, and he actually does need her. Approaching the line, but still salvagable. Then it officially crosses into silliness when he says that ''actually'' actually, he doesn't need her after all. Finally, he goes ahead and tries it, and it turns out actually ''actually'' ''ACTUALLY'', no takebacks we swear, he does need her. It's like watching FlipFlopOfGod in real time.

** Creator/ChristopherDanielBarnes usually did a fine job as Peter/Spidey... until he needed to be serious and dramatic. Then he went from Spider-Man to [[LargeHam Spider-Ham]].
--->'''Symbiote Spidey:''' GET BACK HERE, SHOCKER! ''SHOCKEEEEER!'' YOOOUUU CAN'T ESCAPE ''MEEEEE''! I'LL CHASEYOUTO''THE ENDS OF THE EAAAAARTH''!

Western cartoons can often be silly, even when they're trying to be [[{{Narm}} dramatic]].

* The use of contemporary songs in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'' is jarring for many viewers, and can turn otherwise somber scenes into comedic ones. Even among those who are relatively fine with the rest of the songs, Manolo singing Music/{{Radiohead}}'s "Creep" stands out the most, though. It's just so recognizable, and exceptionally out of place considering the setting.

** Zuko's dream. The dragons, being eaten by the floor, can pull off NarmCharm. But Zuko looking in the mirror, and seeing himself as Aang; NAKED. And ripped, at that. It was just too much.

* The Greek dub of ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' manages to make it ''very'' hard to take some of the emotional scenes seriously by giving Goofy a voice that, even from Greek Goofy standards, sounds very absurd, weird and clown-like.

* A lot of the speeches that Bloom makes. They're just so cliche, and sometimes so out of place, it's nearly impossible to take them seriously at all.

** Even better, Van Hellscream is drawn like a stereotypical 19th century British explorer. If you can keep from laughing at him just for his looks, wait until the end of the episode, where he threatens to use his "monster artifacts" on everyone after he is revealed for the villain he is. It would seem scary, except he keeps his stuff on the inside of his jacket, which has been referenced in everything from Archie Comics (wherein Archie borrows Veronica's butler's tux jacket for a dance so he can line the inside with her metric ton of cosmetics and not have sagging pockets) to the Flintstones (in "The Man Called Flintstone", Fred buys a "genuine artificial diamond necklace" out of a guy's coat), to the streets of many major cities. Perfectly enough, Van Hellscream's jacket seems to contain several bottles of liquid, and what appears to be some jewelry scattered among the monster body parts.

-->'''Youtube commenter''': I like to think she screams like that because she's JUST realizing how much it hurts to have melting metal scald her hand.

* [[BigBad Obake]] from WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries is quite a memorable villain due to being a ManipulativeBastard and his ability to [[XanatosGambit succeed even when his plans fail.]] However, TheReveal in the season finale that his villain codename is just his real name, [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Bob Aken]], with the first and last letters taken off comes off as laughable and cliched.

* The ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' episode "Shreeka's Revenge" dips into pure, unadulterated Narm when the titular {{Big Bad}} has an [[LargeHam overly hammy]] [[VillainousBreakdown tantrum]] over her RingOfPower being destroyed. One moment she's wailing "[[NarratingTheObvious Oh, no! It's melting!]] My precious power ring! ''Gone forevah!''" in the cheesy delivery you'd expect from a villainess in a 80s Saturday morning cartoon, the next she's letting out a ''larynx-shredding'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bdHBoG2bLY screech of agony]] that sounds like WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck passing a kidney stone.

* The book series ''Literature/ScaryStoriesToTellInTheDark'' has some terrifying and downright traumatizing stories and images. Then somebody took it upon themselves to animate the stories. Some of them are effective, but some of them... In one of the more famous stories, "Harold", Harold is terrifying in the illustration. In the animation, he looks to have a LEGO head.

* Narrowly averted in the Franchise/{{Disney|AnimatedCanon}} version of ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''. According to the DVDCommentary, while animating the scene where the dwarves are mourning Snow White's [[DisneyDeath apparent death]], they noticed the narmish quality on an expression on Dopey's face, and so they edited it so that they only show Dopey crying softly into Doc's shoulder. (Dopey's face always looks silly, but for most of the film that fits the mood.)

** Some of the best unintentionally silly moments can be seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfmqSOr2-NY these]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Bc7QQeLAY&NR=1 montages]]. Highlights include Rogue having NoIndoorVoice, Franchise/{{Wolverine}} acting like a cranky old guy rather than a CoolOldGuy, and -uh- [[BlessedWithSuck Tableman]].

-->'''Youtube commenter''': I think they legit poured liquid metal on this voice actor

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' episode "Shreeka's Revenge", the Turtles are able to take out the titular villainess by destroying her power ring. What really takes the cake here is Shreeka's VillainousBreakdown: One moment she's shrieking "Oh, no! My precious power ring! Gone forevah!" in the cheesiest way possible, the next she's letting out a ''[[ChewingTheScenery larynx-shredding]]'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bdHBoG2bLY wail of agony]] that immediately brings WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck to mind.

** The sequel series ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeExtreme'' had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNbsn-TFrEM live-action intros]] at the beginning of a few episodes. All of them have bad acting and [[ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon loads of CG]] but the intro of the thirteenth episode is especially ridiculous.
