History UpToEleven / WesternAnimation

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode "Only Human", Cyborg is able to exceed the limitations built into his cybernetics in order to defeat Atlas. (The fact that Cyborg's human mind and willpower - not his robotic body - is the stronger part of him is later a big plot element in the third season.)

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "Bubblevicious", Bubbles got sick of being the "kid" in the group, so she turned the training simulator up to eleven to prove she was "hardcore". The result is a [[Awesome/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Moment of Awesome]] for her and, while she takes it a bit to far, her sisters acknowledge it once she defeated Mojo Jojo by herself, after withstanding a torture laser at its highest level.

--> '''Buttercup:''' Wow, she took the laser [[ShoutOut all the way]] up to 11!

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** Much of the show is the titular brothers taking everything Up to Eleven, from building a rollercoaster to owning a goldfish.
--->'''Phineas:''' Guaranteed to kick any party up to an eleven!
** In "S'Winter", Doofenshmirtz builds a laser that has a melting capacity of seven...on a scale of one to five.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'', Duane's band SCAB scrawled the number 11 on the far end of their amps' volume dials.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode "Only Human", Cyborg is able to exceed the limitations built into his cybernetics in order to defeat Atlas. (The fact that Cyborg's human mind and willpower - not his robotic body - is the stronger part of him is later a big plot element in the third season.)
** Cyborg complains that, as a machine, he cannot go beyond 100% of his ability. He eventually goes up to 130% before the power readout breaks, and he decides not to replace it.
** A literal example occurs in "The Lost Episode", where music-using villain Punk Rocket cranks his guitar up to eleven for more power.
* In the episode "Out of This World" of ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'', Frank and Len crank the volume of their music up to eleven curiously at Poe's suggestion. Cue fireworks and an explosion that sends them all into orbit around the moon.
* ''Toys/LegoFriends'': Referenced in [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lf11overrs.png Change of Address]] with Stephanie's stereo dock. And then Olivia turns it up to 18......
* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' is built around this trope. The guns, the robot, even the karaoke get turned to eleven regularly. Its stereo system goes [[ExaggeratedTrope up to eleven]] [[OverNineThousand thousand]].
** Said stereo actually has more security preventing its use than ''all of Megas' weapons'' and is the one weapon Coop actually considers cruel to use. As if that didn't already show how powerful it is, when combined with Coop's off-key voice, it becomes a weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying a massive space station and an army of monsters and robots in seconds.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep'', whilst trying to cure one of the other sheep of hiccups, Shaun pulls out an electric guitar and amplifier and turns the amplifier up to eleven. As soon as he plays a single chord, a mushroom cloud is seen rising out of the field.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' takes it one step further by cranking it up to 12 in a song at the end. It's part of the lyrics, even.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Marceline's bass amp goes up to ''XII''!
* A surfer named Hurl says this verbatim in the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Catching the Wave".
* in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'', [[EveryoneHasStandards Batman]] refers to ComicBook/TheQuestion as wound a little too tightly.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode "Truth or Ed", when Eddy and Ed take control of the school newspaper, it's shown that [[DumbMuscle Ed]] pulled the speed control lever on the printing press beyond its maximum setting, tearing through the outside of the press in the process, and Eddy wrote "Stupid fast!" near the new setting.
* On ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', a cold Numbuh 3 was looking for a heater inside an ice cream factory and immediately turns it to its maximum capacity: "Like, eleventy billion degrees". The Delightful Children From Down the Lane angrily ask [[LampshadeHanging who had the idea of]] [[InventionalWisdom putting a heater inside an ice cream factory]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'' episode "Bruised Man's Curve", Otto returns to the Shore Shack after a painful day of training on the titular mountain board course. When Sam asks Otto to rate his pain on a scale from 1 to 10, Otto replies, "12."
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', Jimmy's jetpack has a setting called, "ARE YOU NUTS!?". It's very good at cancelling out the rotation of a ''super tornado that extends beyond the Earth itself''.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget2015'' there is a "level eleven security alarm" in headquarters. Sound bad? Well, considering that their scale has only ''five'' levels...
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Wabbit|ALooneyTunesProduction}}'' short "Bugs in the Garden", Wile E. pits his ACME home gardening products against Bugs' traditional gardening methods. One of them is a hormonal supplement that contains 6,984 more vitamins than a plant actually needs [[note]]If you don't know, a plant typically needs only 6[[/note]], and he decides to use 100 boxes of the stuff. When they have a taste test, Wile E. eats a mutated carrot and mentions that he can taste the 1,700 vitamins it's been fortified with.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'' short "[[Recap/MickeyMouseS3E11RoughinIt Roughin' It]]", Donald sets his RV's power supply to 11 to spite Mickey when he tries to shut the power off. Somehow, this brings the RV to life.
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow Dick Tracy]]'' cartoon "Racer Chaser" has detective Joe Jitsu pursuing villains Stooge Villa and Mumbles, who have stolen a valuable and very fast race car. To catch up with them, Joe extends the speedometer of his car by writing increments up to "500" underneath it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BountyHamster'', a villain who has body-swapped with Cassie gets some extra speed out of Marion's ship by scrawling "11" on the appropriate control (which usually only goes up to 5). This causes it to go fast enough that even Marion, who isn't exactly sane at the best of times, is terrified.

As if that didn't already show how powerful it is, when combined with Coup's off-key voice, it becomes a weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying a massive space station and an army of monsters and robots in seconds.
