History StealthPun / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' features the ambitious warmonger and Renegade leader Cy-Kill, who suffers from a fairly obvious PunnyName already because he transforms into a motorcycle. What's never outright stated is that his brutal methods mean that he is literally [[spoiler:a vicious cycle]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Headhunters", at one point, when Dipper and Mabel are in a biker-bar-type establishment, they pass by a man with a [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7uxj6vwAb1qciqjmo1_500.png cat drawn on one palm]]. Said fellow is hitting it with his other hand, so you could say that he's [[spoiler:pounding pussy]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': In the cartoon "Baby Puss", Jerry hides from Tom in a doll house. When Tom raises the house's window shade, Jerry pretends to be a woman taking a bath and freaks out at being spied on by Tom and hits him with his bathbrush. In other words: [[spoiler:He was acting like Tom was being ThePeepingTom]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' sometimes works these into the names of villains, especially those that are only seen or mentioned briefly.

** To keep Agent P distracted while Carl investigates Phineas and Ferb in "Undercover Carl", Monogram assigns Perry the mission of finding the long-lost Agent G, Gary the Gander. Lampshaded by Monogram: "Gary the Gander? That's a wild goose chase." [[spoiler:Turns out Gary was vacationing on the moon.]]

** In "Candace Gets Busted", the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Go-Away-Inator]] zaps all of Candace's uninvited guests to an undesirable location -- Doofenshmirtz's pants. And they're all still dancing.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn'': The season three episode "The Horse and the Sparrow" has [[ShowWithinAShow an universe movie]] about the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne where during his death scene, Thomas tells young Bruce "the story of the horse and the sparrow," which is about how some of the oats that a horse eats pass through it and get eaten by the sparrow with the urging for Bruce to be that horse. In other words, supply-side economics AKA trickle-down is ''literaly horseshit''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': In the cartoon "Baby Puss", Jerry hides from Tom in a doll house. When Tom raises the house's window shade, Jerry pretends to be a woman taking a bath and freaks out at being spied on by Tom and hits him with his bathbrush. In other words: [[spoiler:He was acting like Tom was ThePeepingTom]].

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', the scene after greeting Suki in a robe, under candlelight, a rose in his mouth, Sokka is seen wearing a flower necklace -- [[spoiler:he got lei'd, and Suki got deflowered]].
** In "The Ember Island Players", a bad in-universe reenactment of the series thus far, the audience starts falling asleep during the sequence with the drill. It's ''boring''.
** An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', the Waterbender twins Desna and Eska cover their boots in frozen water to slide down a mountainside. That's right, they made [[spoiler: ice skates]].
* Austin's fur color in ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' [[note]] he starts out as a ShrinkingViolet [[/note]].
** Also in ''The Backyardigans'', in the episode "Mission to Mars", Austin controls a Mars Rover named Rover. [[spoiler: There used to be a British car manufacturer named Austin Rover]].

** In "April Moon," a villain whose wrists and knees have been replaced with chainsaws cuts open a door. He cuts the door three times -- two form a cross, and the third is a diagonal inward slash beneath the cross -- the Japanese symbol for "Sa."
** In "Sneak Peek", Ian Peek [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent speaks with an ostensibly British accent that sounds vaguely Australian]], which, if it is the latter, leads to a truly twisted pun about his fate: [[spoiler:thanks to his [[PhlebotinumBreakdown malfunctioning]] [[IntangibleMan intangibility]], [[FateWorseThanDeath he's heading to the]] LandDownUnder]].
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', "Deep Cover for Batman": Batman thinks he may have found an ally in The Scarlet Scarab based on a conversation he heard, but it turns out to just provide misdirection, meaning that the ''Scarlet'' Scarab was a RedHerring.

* The WesternAnimation/{{Classic Disney Short|s}} "WesternAnimation/PlutosJudgementDay", which is about WesternAnimation/{{Pluto|ThePup}} imagining himself going to hell after being scolded by MickeyMouse for chasing a cat. Pluto is actually the name of the Roman god of the underworld, as well as [[PlutoIsExpendable the former ninth planet]] in which the dog got his name from.

** One of the stealthiest is Twilight's own name. [[Literature/{{Twilight}} "Twilight... Sparkle"]].

*** When electricity crackles around Twilight, you might say that Twilight is ''[[Literature/{{Twilight}} sparkling]]''

** One of the stealthiest is Twilight's own name. [[Literature/{{Twilight}} "Twilight...Sparkle"]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' has one of the first type in the episode "Can I Keep Him?" While fighting Johnny Rancid's new "pet", Rancid remarks that the beast is "kicking [Robin's]--", and is then interrupted by two green hooves to the gut. One shot later, it is revealed that Beast Boy has, indeed, [[spoiler:turned into an ass.]]

* In "WesternAnimation/YoungJustice" during the final seasons, the Green Beetle of Mars is introduced, his real name is B'arzz O'oomm [[spoiler: A DC comics Martian style name based on Barsoom, the name for Mars used by the natives of Mars in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jon Carter of Mars Books and their sequels]]

** And in "Epilogue", the team is up against another team called the Royal Flush Gang, who Ace gave powers to. One of them is wearing kabuki make-up, with a top knot and swinging a katana. By process of elimination, he's the [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Jack]], and when depowered happens to look like Creator/PhilLaMarr. Ten looks like Creator/BoDerek did in the film ''Film/{{Ten}}'', Queen is a transformed guy (drag queen), and King looks like Jack "King" Kirby.

** In "WesternAnimation/AGruesomeTwosome", two alley cats try to fool Tweety by [[PantomimeAnimal wearing a horse costume]]. The one in front reveals himself and tells us, "I'm the horse's head!" The one in back says nothing.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' episode "Wing it like Witchs" has two of these regarding Amity:
** When Amity initially turns down the offer to play Grudgby with the others and instead [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere takes off running]] after [[CovertPervert openly fantasizing about Luz]], [[ObliviousToLove Luz]] innocently comments "Well I guess she’s [[TransparentCloset out.]]"
** Amity tells a backstory about Grudgby and how she left the sport, which ends with her falling on her ''back''.

* In "Last Christmas!", Beakley (a retired spy) is shown persuing the Ghost of Christmas Future, who resembles TheGrimReaper. Clearly, she flirts with death.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "April Moon," a villain whose wrists and knees have been replaced with chainsaws cuts open a door. He cuts the door three times -- two form a cross, and the third is a diagonal inward slash beneath the cross -- the Japanese symbol for "Sa."

* ''WesternAnimation/HerculesTheAnimatedSeries'' has one in "Hercules and the Big Games." A pair of athletic shoes were "designed by the goddess of victory herself." The goddess of victory is ''Nike''.

* One that requires a little bit of backstory occurs in [[WesternAnimation/EekTheCat Eek! the Cat]]. Eek's girlfriend was a pink cat named Annabelle. A running gag in the show was that she was the largest character in the show, and everyone but Eek noticed. This was a bit unlike her original voice actress, who had at one time been an actress, [[{{Music/Whitesnake}} music video girl]], and general sex symbol. So there's some irony there, sure, but plenty of people play characters that they have nothing in common with. Only people who read the credits get this joke's punchline: simply put, Annabelle was a fat cat, but her voice actress was played by a [[{{Music/Whitesnake}} Tawny]] [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY Kitaen]].

** In "The Safety", when Darwin puts a profanity filter on reality, Gumball decides to test it by stomping on his brother's foot. Darwin's shouts are interrupted by a cut to [[RelaxOVisoin a series of images while soothing music plays]], but the images (a woman cradling a baby, a farmer with a pitchfork, a donkey, and a [[NonIronicClown party clown]]) imply Darwin was saying [[spoiler: "You mother-forking ass-clown!"]]
