Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'''s Pakku gets a pretty excellent one before fighting Katara: "If you want to learn waterbending so badly, STUDY CLOSELY!!"
** "I'm sorry it has to end this way, brother." "No you're not."
** "Did I ever tell you how I got the nickname Dragon of the West?"
** "They're mine!"
** "Trust me, Zuko, it's not gonna be much of a match."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has Korra, in the first episode confront a gang of three thugs. Surprised by the fact that anyone has the nerves or stupidity to challenge them, the confrontation leads to this exchange:
-->'''Thugs:''' Who do you think you are?
-->'''Korra:''' Why don't you come and find out?
** From [[BigBad Amon]] before he easily defeats [[spoiler:Tarrlok]]:
--->'''Amon:''' It is time for you to be Equalized.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'', by the end of the fight between Izzy and Chef in "Hide and Be Sneaky":
-->'''Izzy:''' Bye bye! ''(kicks Chef)''
* Ben from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' loves to spout these before turning alien and leaping into action. They tend to be incredibly cheesy, but give him a break, he's a {{kid|Hero}}.
* [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in the ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' several times. In the episode "Simple Simpson" when Homer becomes Pie Man. After a series of heroic exploits and delivering multiple pastry-based one-liners just before subduing his various victims, he eventually just uses, "I have run out of pie-related puns!"
** In the episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land", while fighting out-of-control animatronic Itchy and Scratchy robots with cameras, Bart says in Schwarzenegger-esque voice "Hey mouse... say cheese." followed quickly by "With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero." It's played with even further when moments later, Homer emerges from a pile of defeated robots, saying "Die, bad robots, die!... With a dry, cool wit like that, I could be an action hero."
** In a Halloween episode, Homer has to think of a witty remark to say before he assassinates Kent Brockman... but when he thinks of it, [[TheUnReveal he realizes that there's nobody around]] and so he doesn't have to say it.
* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'': "More tea, Wesley?"
** "Bah! Chamomile!"
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''[[note]]What, you didn't think a ''My Little Pony'' show would have examples of this?[[/note]]:
** Rainbow Dash, when she's about to start rounding out the parasprites in "Swarm of the Century":
--> "Time to take out the adorable trash."
** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow A Dog and Pony Show]]":
*** When one of the Diamond Dogs tries to put a bridle on Applejack, she quips "If you can take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride!" before starting to buck him off.
*** "A Dog and Pony Show" also gives us the precursor to a ''verbal'' ass-kicking:
--> '''Rarity''': "I am not whining. I am ''complaining''. [[PityTheKidnapper Do you]] [[CuteButCacophonic want to]] [[MostAnnoyingSound hear whining]]?"
** In "The Return of Harmony", Twilight Sparkle gives one just before [[spoiler:she and the mane cast defeat Discord with the Elements Of Harmony.]] Probably one of the most {{Badass}} ways of invoking ThePowerOfFriendship ever.
--> '''Twilight Sparkle''': "All right, ladies. Let's show him what [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship can really do]]!"
** In "It's about Time," when Twilight prepares to kick the ass of Cerberus. Yes, that [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus Cerberus]]. The moment is ruined by Fluttershy, but it's still pretty awesome.
--> '''Twilight Sparkle''': "Hey, Cerberus! You look like you could use some obedience training. ''Magic'' obedience training."
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall." So nice, they used it twice. Also, and more to the point, "Megatron ''must'' be stopped."
** Surely the true one-liner is in this exchange:
-->'''Megatron:''' Why throw away your life so recklessly?\\
'''Optimus:''' That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.
** At the end of TheMovie, Rodimus Prime gets two ''in the same scene''.
-->'''Rodimus Prime:''' ''(after wrestling the MacGuffin from TheDragon)'' This is the end of the road, Galvatron. ''(throws him through a wall)''
-->'''Rodimus Prime:''' (as he activates the DeusExMachina MacGuffin) Now... light our darkest hour!
** Almost ''everybody'' gets one of these.
-->'''Devastator:''' PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION.
-->'''Frenzy:''' First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!
-->'''Wreck-Gar:''' You check in, but you don't check out.
-->'''Grimlock:''' Me Grimlock want to munch metal.
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Bulkhead]] is the current reigning king of one-liners. He spouts one in every episode so far.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''
** Both heroes and villains often break them out, with Shego especially fond of them. With everyone recovering from a cold, Shego declares, "Looks like someone's been drinking a lot of fluids -- and ''retaining every ounce''..."
** This, from TheMovie.
--> "[[Awesome/KimPossible You're right, Drakken. Boys? Dating? Oh, it's hard. But this? Is easy.]]" [[TalkToTheFist Boom]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''
** This is Robin's job. It gets a bit ridiculous at times.
** Starfire gets one in one of the first episodes.
-->'''Starfire:''' I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am stronger than I look. ''(WHAM)''
** Raven and Beast Boy have them during their Berserk Button moments,
--> '''Raven:''' Don't come any closer.
--> '''Beast Boy:''' I am not a man, I AM AN ANIMAL!!!
* ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'': "Eat dirt, everything in the vicinity!" (and about a billion variations thereof...). Brilliant when you think of it. He's an earthworm and his kind generally tends to eat... well..
** Subverted in the episode where Peter gets to become the hero. Peter's heroic catchphrase is "I go bang-bang now!". As Jim points out, it... needs work.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}''. "Look out crime. I'm gonna to take a bite out of you. But... not in a way you're gonna find... pleasurable."
* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'':
** "Let's get dangerous!"
** Darkwing Duck's shift from comic relief to serious threat post-"Dangerous" [[LetsGetDangerous constitutes its own trope.]]
** "Suck gas, evil doer!"
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has the title character spout a few of these. Unfortunately it doesn't run in the family: Jazz's one-liners are ''terrible''. Except for when she's saving Danny for once, and it's combined with a DontSaySuchStupidThings and a ShutUpHannibal:
-->'''Jazz:''' Excuse me. [[TheMasquerade I don't know this kid]], but I hope it's okay if he gets a second opinion.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': "That's my bread and butter you're fucking with." If anyone utters that, you know, RUN!
* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': "GO F#%* YOURSELF!"
* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': "That's my purse!! I don't know you!" (kicks person in the balls). Seriously, you can't tell me you wouldn't get caught off guard by some fat kid yelling "That's my purse!" then yelling "I don't know you!" before kicking your nuts into your throat is a great way to finish it.
** Also, from the episode where Bobby and Joseph become professional panhandlers.
-->'''Bum:''' What're you gonna do, tell my mommy?\\
'''Hank:''' No, I'm going to kick your ass up one side of the street and down the other.
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': A mix-up involving cereal-prize decoder rings leaves Deedee being threatened by the Pony Puffs, and Dexter having to team up with Action Hank to save her. As Hank bursts through the wall with his team to save Dee-Dee from being dunked in scalding-hot oatmeal, he delivers that classic line:
-->'''Hank:''' Breakfast is no longer being served! Prepare to get brunched -- in the face!
** [[AccidentalInnuendo *Starts sniggering uncontrollably*]]
* From ''WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs'':
-->'''Needham:''' It's T. T. Kaaaaaaaay B.!\\
'''Others:''' Time to kiiiiiiiick butt!
** The only thing villains hate to hear more than that one is the one that means you're well and ''truly'' screwed:
-->'''Needham:''' It's P.B.T.!\\
'''Others:''' Pay-back time!
* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated''
** Scooby says the Text-Book definition of a PreAssKickingOneLiner in episode 10.
--> '''Scooby Doo''': ''Bad Dog.'' Time to heel.
** He followed it up with something even more bad ass, especially given his utterly cold delivery.
--> '''Scooby Doo''': '''Play Dead.'''
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Next stop: ''way'' down the lane!
** [[TheBigGuy Numbuh 4]]: "Then what are you waiting for, princess? Let's dance!".
* ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'': "What we have here [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech is a rare opportunity for]] [[Franchise/{{Superman}} me]] to cut loose and show [[{{Darkseid}} you]] just how [[CurbstompBattle powerful]] I ''really'' am.
* Any time BugsBunny is forced to utter the phrase "Of course you realize ''this'' means ''war!''" is essentially this trope at work. What comes may not be an asskicking by normal standards...but he makes sure you ''feel for what you've done.''
* All it takes is [[http://youtu.be/C2qAbL1dPiY the right magic words]]...
* [[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons Droopy cartoons]]: You know what? [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry That makes me mad!]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'': "SPOOOOOOON!!"
* From ''AmericanDad'', when the Chocodile bumps against Stan while walking away:
--> '''Stan''': Hey Chocodile! Watch where you're going!
--> '''Chocodile''': ''(Turns about and smirks)'' Oh HELL no. ''(Lunges at him)''
* Texas keeps trying these in {{WesternAnimation/Motorcity}}, in an attempt to emulate action heroes from the movies he's been watching. Most of them are hilariously lame.
