History NightmareFuel / OggyAndTheCockroaches

* "The Ghost Hunter" starts with the cockroaches getting flattened by Oggy wielding a frying pan while hiding inside a roasted turkey, which, unlike most of their usual AmusingInjuries, [[spoiler:actually ''kills them!'']] It gets nightmare-inducing when the cockroaches' [[spoiler:spirits emerge from their graves.]]
** The [[https://i.imgur.com/qRmClLE.jpg title card]] isn't any better.
** Their facial expressions as the roaches' spirits emerge from their grave as well. From their arrival to the house all the way to haunting Oggy, they don't smile or laugh. When they turn to the house, they are just glaring at it with skeleton-like expressions, selling the idea that they are angry and shocked that Oggy would actually kill them for real. The music playing during this scene doesn't make it any less frightening.

** The Chinese and Hindi voice-overs makes it NightmareRetardant thankfully.

They smile and laugh while haunting Oggy, though, clearly enjoying their payback.

* The ending of "Lost in Space". To put it briefly, after Oggy gets rid of the cockroaches, he then starts watching television in his own spaceship. [[spoiler:Then, the camera reveals that a space monster is grabbing onto a part of the ship. Imagine being in Oggy's position without realizing that a monster is about to kill you!]] The fact that [[SoundtrackDissonance an adventurous song plays during this part in the remake version doesn't help matters.]]

* Near the end of "The Mini Golf War", Jack is brutally mangled and deformed with his heart visibly beating against his twisted chest when a speeding train runs him over. It is a surprisingly graphic injury for the slapsticky nature of the show, and despite this, it's ''still'' PlayedForLaughs.

* In "Oggy and the Babies", Oggy takes in what appears to be cute kittens who turn out to be the kicked-out roaches in disguise. After he gives them the boot once more, he and Jack hear meowing. Thinking the roaches didn't learn their lesson, Oggy angrily marches outside, a broom handed by Jack at the ready, and proceeds to [[WouldHurtAChild thrash the "kittens" with a broom]] while Jack [[LaughingMad laughs his head off]]... until the cockroaches show up, ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards completely speechless at what they saw]]'', to [[OhCrap Jack's horror]]. In short, Jack inadvertently enabled Oggy to beat up ''real kittens'', and can't tell him for fear of the consequences.

A ''[[WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches lighthearted French cartoon show]] can't have these types of moments... [[TemptingFate right]]?

Not only could ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' be funny in all kinds of ways, it could also be scary at points.

** The ending: Oggy has a truce with the cockroaches after reviving them. They watch another horror movie... but they forget to put away enchanted rug Oggy used for the process. As tornado-like clouds once again surround the house, the monsters from the movie end up coming to life and the episode ends with [[NothingIsScarier Oggy and the cockroaches screaming in terror, with zero indication of what happens next]]!
** From the same scene above: when the monsters rise up and it cuts to the shocked faces of the feline and vermin, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/oggyandthecockroaches/images/8/81/Error1.JPG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20211102004809 Joey's eyes are missing!]]
** Not even the monster's faces are safe from NightmareFuel!

** The Chinese voice-over makes it [[NightmareRetardant a certain trope]] thankfully.

** Not even the title card is immune from this. The title card is three roach ghosts, and the text is brownish-orange, which ''cockroach blood'' looks like. Yikes.

Nothing after this is shown, so that's why NothingIsScarier sometimes comes into play inside a rated TV-Y7 show.
