* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'': Professor X gets one of these from his students after it was revealed that their principal was actually Mystique. Earlier in the episode, he and Logan had a conversation about it with Logan wondering why he doesn't just tell them the truth. Charles responds with the fact that they are supposed to respect their principal, but how does he tell the them that the respectful figure and their enemy are one and the same, clearly having struggled with revealing it to them for a while. The final scene of the episode "Turn of the Rogue" has the students surprised by the fact and even saying it was the same as lying to them.

** In [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS2E4DyingForPieImitationKrabs "Dying For Pie"]], Mr. Krabs gives one to Squidward when it looked like [=SpongeBob=] has eaten the exploding pie.

-->'''Rigby''': So, when I said "go with your gut", did you hear "completely lose your mind and try to dump your girlfriend at a wedding? 'Cause that seemed to be the option you went with.

* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has a few, but the most noteworthy might be the season six finale, where Mordecai interrupts Muscle Man's wedding to give a speech about ''his own'' love life. Everyone, including the often callous Rigby, call him out on the horrible timing.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': After finding out that Jake had his Dragon Chi confiscated on purpose so he could relax, his grandfather Lao Shi begins to become furious. Before he can even properly begin ranting to himself, Jake's younger sister Haley, who has been filling in for him, loses her temper and [[CallingTheOldManOut angrily tells Lao Shi]] off for putting all the burden of defending a magical realm on a teenage boy. Despite arguably being the stronger dragon of the two, she admits that she can't imagine doing the job for even another day, much less several years. She points out that the position has forced Jake to constantly be late for or miss school, lie to his father about his true nature as a dragon, and allow his own girlfriend's memories of him be erased, all in addition to the fact that no mortal is even allowed to know of the magical realm he's protecting, much less acknowledge the work he does. Lao Shi takes this to heart and decides to cut Jake's dragon training in half when he next sees him.

** Towards the end of "Timephoon," Della, of all characters, calls out Louie for using a time machine to steal treasures from the past, which caused time to alter and the whole family to almost disappear from existence, right before she grounds her son and orders him to shut down Louie, Inc.
*** While Della is scolding Louie, telling him that what he did was reckless and how he almost put the whole family in danger, Louie replies with a spiteful "I wonder who I got that from," indicating that he still hasn't forgiven Della for the whole Spear of Selene incident. While most of the other characters are shocked after hearing this, Mrs. Beakley is downright furious that Louie would say something like that to his own mother and is about to give him a piece of her mind, but Della stops her.

** Mabel gets one from ''Bill Cipher'' when she [[spoiler:nearly sells out her brother just to continue to impress her GuyOfTheWeek]] in "Sock Opera."

* A more realistic example is displayed in ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', when in one episode, the six characters tell each other their most embarrassing secrets. Caitlin blabs to her boyfriend all their secrets with the exception of hers, explaining that she couldn't ruin their relationship. When said boyfriend becomes hypnotized and blabs to the entire mall about it, her friends, as expected, were not too happy with her.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Born Again Krabs," Squidward gives Mr. Krabs a scathing speech to this effect after he sells [=SpongeBob's=] soul to the Flying Dutchman for pocket change (a whole 62 cents), despite the fact that [=SpongeBob=] willingly put his life on the line in order to save Krabs from being taken by the Dutchman.

* In ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'', Dawson shouts at Basil for indulging in moping while the world is in danger.

* Nick Wilde, one of the two protagonists in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'', gives a solid calling out to Chief Bogo for demanding that Judy Hopps surrender her badge due to her failing to solve a missing mammal case [[RaceAgainstTheClock within the allocated time]] by reminding him that she still has 10 hours left. He also points out that Bogo gave Judy, an inexperienced rookie cop, an ImpossibleTask of solving a case ''by herself'' with virtually no resources despite her more experienced co-workers struggling on the same case.

* Happens a bit in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', in particular the episode "Clash". ComicBook/LexLuthor has, in an [[PetTheDog attempt at genuine charity]], built a self-sustaining city for the homeless. Superman sees a device underground with a timer and sets out to destroy it, despite Lex's attempts to convince him that he's mistaken. Captain Marvel wisely disagrees and thinks they should call an expert in to see what the device really is. [[LetsYouAndHimFight Mayhem ensues]]. In the end the fight [[NiceJobBreakingItHero destroys the city]], and the device is revealed to be a kryptonite-powered generator. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that this was a BatmanGambit by Lex Luthor to discredit Superman, by manipulating [[ParanoiaGambit Superman's distrust of Luthor]].]] The whole fiasco made Captain Marvel verbally tear the [[TheMagnificentSevenSamurai Original Seven]] a new one before resigning:
-->'''Captain Marvel:''' Back home, I've come up against my share of pretty nasty bad guys, but I never had to act the way they did to win a fight. I always found another way. I guess I'm saying I like being a hero. A symbol. And that's why... I'm quitting the Justice League. You don't act like heroes anymore.
** Much more understandable when you remember that J'onn J'onzz, and possibly other Leaguers, can phase through matter and could have checked the power cell in a heartbeat, if Superman had just been a little more patient.
** In the episode "The Doomsday Sanction", where Batman gives one to Superman:
--->'''Batman:''' Sent [Doomsday] off to the Phantom Zone, didn't you?\\
'''Superman:''' [[IDidWhatIHadToDo He left us no choice.]]\\
'''Batman''': [[NotSoDifferent Spoken like a true]] [[KnightTemplar Justice Lord]].
** The League gets called out by a ''lot'' of people for [[spoiler:easily forgiving Hawkgirl after her actions in the previous season finale.]] Fortunately, this died down eventually. It also helped that it was clear that [[spoiler: not everyone completely forgave her, not even among the Big Six, particularly Wonder Woman, although she eventually did forgive Shayera after teaming up to save Hades from Felix Faust.]] As Shayera said after [[spoiler:Wonder Woman]] asked if things were OK between them:
--->'''Shayera''': Like oil and vinegar. We go together, but we don't mix.
** Also in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Twilight", Superman has a ''massive'' one due to Darkseid popping up to ask for help to save Apokolips from Brainiac: while everyone understood why Superman's reaction at seeing him was a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, cheering when Darkseid told them that Apokolips was about to be destroyed received this.
--->'''Darkseid''': You know his pattern, Kal-El. Once he's finished siphoning the memory banks and technology of my planet...\\
'''Superman''': He'll annihilate it. ''Good.''\\
'''Hawkgirl''': What!?\\
'''Wonder Woman''': Superman!\\
'''Martian Manhunter''': You can't mean-\\
'''Darkseid''': You may not care what happens to me or my world, but know this: If Brainiac isn't stopped, countless millions more will perish. Think about it. *Leaves*\\
'''Hawkgirl''': So what are you saying? You'd sacrifice millions of lives ''just because you don't like this guy!?''\\
'''Superman''': You don't know Darkseid like I do.
*** And then, ''Batman'' delivers a second one when Superman delivers that last line:
---->'''Batman:''' We know he used you. Humiliated you. Brainwashed you. Wound you up like a tin soldier and turned you loose against Earth. ''Cry me a river.'' On the outside chance that this isn't another one of his schemes, we have to take action. So, I suggest you ''get over it.''
** Happens twice in "A Better World" -- [[UpToEleven both times to and by Batman.]] [[spoiler: The parallel Batman argues that at least on his world, no other child would ever have to be brutally orphaned, which disarms the League Batman. Later in the episode, Batman witnesses an indifferent crowd ignoring a terrified man arrested for a simple argument, and asks his twin, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion "They'd love it here, don't you think? [...] Mom and Dad.]] [[SarcasmMode They'd be]] ''[[SarcasmMode so]]'' [[SarcasmMode proud of you."]]]]
* In the first season finale of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', Robin accosts a random dockworker for information on Slade's whereabouts, and has to be physically restrained by Raven. The rest of the team accuses him of emulating Slade's tactics in his zeal. What makes this worse is that Slade is pretty civil to his informants, which is why he can use them again and again. So, Robin was actually [[EvilerThanThou worse than the villain]].
** The MASSIVE shaming Robin received once the team realized that he was pulling a BatmanGambit via being Red X and playing them off to get close to Slade.
--->'''Starfire:''' Whoever Slade is, you and he are...[[NotSoDifferent similar]]. Slade did not trust you, and you did not trust us.
** Speaking of Red X, [[MadScientist Professor Chang]] criticizes Robin for using Xenothium, an ''incredibly'' dangerous compound, as a power source for the Red X suit despite [[{{Hypocrite}} manufacturing, selling, and using it himself]]. The way he says "good little boy" says it all.
--->'''Professor Chang:''' Ah... the ''[[SarcasmMode goooood]]'' [[SarcasmMode little boy who]] [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame likes dangerous toys.]]
** The episode ''Troq'' had the whole team confronting [[FantasticRacism Val-Yor]], after [[BrokenPedestal they discovered]] what a racist {{Jerkass}} he is, and the term ''troq'' is a FantasticSlur towards Starfire.
** And in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', Robin's unnecessarily brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Saico-Tek causes realistic legal trouble for the team. Subverted when [[spoiler:they find out that the villain took a dive as a XanatosGambit by the movie's BigBad]].
** While in his characteristic harsh manner, Robin calls out Cyborg for essentially leaving behind his old team out of his need to "be a man".
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' episode "Let's Get Serious", Aqualad of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' gives Robin the riot act over their immaturity and mockery of heroism. What hurts them the most is that his assessment is ''right'' as Cyborg and Beast Boy go gaa-gaa over the idea of a pie-eating contest and Starfire and Raven free Jinx to have a girl's night out.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', after Dinobot's recent trip through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor and giving the [[MacGuffin Golden Disk]] to [[BigBad Megatron]], Rattrap gives this to him:
-->'''Rattrap:''' You know, I used to think I had you pegged. "Oh sure, he's a slag-sucking saurian, but at least you know where he stands." I guess you live and learn.
* Prowl of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' can't seem to convince Optimus Prime that the Dinobots are alive, and thus melting them down would be wrong. Prowl says he can sense a spark, but Prime says the destructive, lumbering, fire-breathing former animatronics are too big a risk when all Prowl has to go on is his feelings. So Prowl convinces Bulkhead to sneak out with him in the middle of the night and save the Dinobots. Prime is ''not'' happy about this once he finds out, so depending on how you feel about the Dinobots, it could be a WhatTheHellHero moment for either Prowl or Optimus; the Dinobots ''are'' living things, but they're also incredibly destructive. When they finally get around to telling Prime of this, he is ''not'' happy that they stole the Dinobots. Prowl points out that they ''rescued'' the Dinobots.
** Ratchet calls out Prowl for his destructive romp when apprehending Starscream (or rather, unbeknown to them, his clone) by pointing out the bird's nest he ruined. Given that Prowl is a FriendToAllLivingThings, this hit him particularly hard. Even Starscream gets in the act, with a NotSoDifferent line.
** ''TFA'' seems to like this trope. In a flashback, Ratchet does this to Ultra Magnus and the rest of the autobots who created [[spoiler:Omega Supreme,]] for making what is essentially a {{Tykebomb}} PersonOfMassDestruction to win the war with the Decepticons. While none of them deny that what they're doing is wrong, it's quite possible the Autobots would have lost the war without doing it.
** In "This Is Why I Hate Machines," Alpha Trion berates Sentinel Prime for his decision to fire at [[spoiler: Omega Supreme,]] knowing the risks of possibly destroying Cybertron. He makes it very clear that if the decision was up to him, Sentinel wouldn't be Magnus any longer.
** Sentinel himself, despite being a {{Jerkass}} most of the time, got to call Optimus out in "Predacons Rising" when he learns Optimus kept the whole Elita-1 / Blackarachnia thing a secret from him.
--->'''Sentinel''': You knew about this?!\\
'''Optimus:''' I didn't know how to tell you.\\
'''Sentinel:''' [[SarcasmMode Well, thanks for not spoiling the surprise]]. 'Cause I wouldn't wanna be, I don't know, PREPARED FOR THIS OR ANYTHING!
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' has Jack call out Bulkhead for being perfectly fine with letting jerks be taken by Decepticons, ''twice''.
** In "Legacy", Smokescreen gets called out by Arcee and Optimus for his reckless behaviour, but especially for dragging [[spoiler:Jack along on a dangerous mission (which ended up with Jack hiding from Insections in crevice, whilst they slowly dug him out, before being rescued)]]. Smokescreen ''himself'' admits that he deserves every word of it.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** This happens to Numbuh Four in ''two separate episodes''. The first time is in "Operation: M.A.T.A.D.O.R." when the rest of the team is angry at him for fighting in the Bully Fights. (The KND isn't fond of adults, but what the bullies do them, trap them and give them KlatchianCoffee until they fly into a rage, and then fight them in a bullfight-like setting - ''that'' crosses the line.) Numbuh Four has a HeelRealization when his own father is a victim of this cruel sport, and when he ultimately saves the day, he's forgiven.
** He isn't the second time, however, in "Operation: M.I.S.S.I.O.N." In this one, he tricks the authorities at the KND base in Antarctica into freeing four dangerous villains - Mr. Boss, Count Spankulot, Stickybeard, and Soccer Mom - and then threatens them so they can compete against his dad's bowling team. All because he's sick of polishing his dad's trophies. After everything that happened, the rest of Sector V actually sided with the four villains here, and he ''was'' punished in the end. [[LaserGuidedKarma By polishing his father's new trophy, no less.]]
* This trope was the essential plotline for a ''[[WesternAnimation/LibertysKids Liberty's Kids]]'' episode where Sarah goes to UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson's farm and discovers that the writer of "All men are created equal..." is a ''slaveholder''. She is understandably shocked and confronts him.
* A more realistic example is displayed in ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', when in one episode, the six characters tell each other their most embarrassing secrets. Caitlin blabs to her boyfriend all their secrets with the exception of hers, explaining that she couldn't ruin their relationship. When said boyfriend becomes hypnotized and blabs to the entire mall about it, her friends, as expected, were not too happy with her.
** In another episode, Wyatt composed a song about how important his friends are to him for a contest being held at the mall. When none of them show up to hear it due to various reasons, except for Nikki who is asleep, Wyatt changes the lyrics to vent out his anger. Just about every single person who heard the song would tear into Caitlin and the others for being bad friends.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' "Wishology" trilogy, Timmy calls out Jorgen and Turbo Thunder for [[spoiler: automatically assuming the Darkness was evil because it "looked scary"]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' episode "The Fugitives", the three heroines give this to Jerry in spades while pelting him with snowballs. (His apology for not believing their innocence and trying to capture them and apply brain surgery to stop them - they didn't seem willing to accept it yet.)
* ''WesternAnimation/IronMan''
** The season 1 finale had Tony Stark use a robot duplicate (while he himself was disguised as a bridesmaid) to fake a wedding to Julia Carpenter for the purpose of throwing the Mandarin off his trial and convince him that Tony and Iron Man were separate people. However, he decided to not tell the ComicBook/ScarletWitch about it, who wasn't happy about being left out of the loop. In a case of CerebusSyndrome, season 2 has a recurring theme in the Tony/Julia relationship being Julia being resentful of the stunt, too, despite being in on the plan.
** The second season of the cartoon starts with Tony faking his death as part of a plan to stop the Mandarin. [[WeWouldHaveToldYouBut He doesn't let any of his friends in on it so their grief will convince the villains he's really dead.]] All but two of the supporting cast ([[ComicBook/WarMachine Rhodey]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Julia]]) walk out on him in disgust, and even the two who stay make it clear he crossed a line.
** Season 2 also adapted the classic "Armor Wars" arc, wherein Tony realizes that his technology has been stolen and goes to extremes to stop its use by criminals' hands, and everyone giving him crap for his action.
* ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'':
** Rhodey calls Tony out in one episode for being willing to use lethal force on people and justifying it with a 'whatever it takes' mindset. Rhodey points out to Tony how that attitude makes him exactly like the people he's fighting and that it's beginning to look like Tony's out for revenge instead of saving lives, which was his original motivation. Tony doesn't respond, but instead the two have a non-verbal glare-down as the episode ends, indicating that Rhodey's words probably struck a little too close to home.
** In the following episode, Tony acknowledges Rhodey was right.
** Another notable one comes from Iron Man's interactions with S.H.I.E.L.D.. Tony frequently collides with Nick Fury on being willing to use drastic methods to solve a problem when Fury's only doing his job by protecting the people. In "Fun with Lasers" Living Laser holds the world hostage from a space station and demands a fight with Iron Man. After an attempt to retrieve two of their agents from the station fails Fury opts to blow up the station. Tony calls him out on it.
** Later on Tony looks into a SHIELD computer and finds the Living Laser dying and calls Fury out on it again.

* In the episode of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' "The Storm" an elderly fisherman calls out Aang on abandoning the world to 100 years of war (although the man is entirely unaware of the circumstances, and believes it to just be a result of cowardice and willful neglect of his duty as Avatar, which it was, up until the whole "frozen in an iceberg" bit).
** When Katara steals a waterbending scroll from pirates because she's jealous of Aang, Sokka calls her out on it. After it gets them captured by Zuko and the pirates, Aang tries to deny it's her fault and then ''Iroh'' pops up to point out that no, this is totally her fault.
** Also in "The Storm," this trope is used to show that most people from the Fire Nation are not AlwaysChaoticEvil, and that Zuko's own crew does not appreciate him acting like an idiot and a JerkAss. His lieutenant calls him out for placing his search above the safety of the crew and accuses him of having utter contempt for everyone besides himself, thus hitting Zuko's BerserkButton, when he claims that Zuko knows nothing of respect, unwittingly echoing Ozai's words to him before he gave him his scar.
** Toph calls the rest of the Gaang out in "The Western Air Temple" when [[spoiler:they refuse to accept Zuko, despite the fact that he is currently their ''only hope'' of finding a Firebending teacher for Aang. Understandably, her friends make the argument that Toph wasn't there when Zuko hurt them. While that is true, Toph sees the bigger picture enough to remind them that they shouldn't let their personal feelings cloud their judgement]].
** The whole Gaang's reaction to Jet, once they find out that he's willing to target [[strike:Fire Nation]] '''Earth Kingdom civilians''' in addition to Fire Nation soldiers. Even Jet's own followers call him out when he plans on catching Zuko firebending rather than going straight as they planned.
** Sokka gives a rather harsh one to Aang in "Bato of the Water Tribe" when he hides a map from his friends, a map that reveals where their father was at. The real reason why is because Sokka feels that Aang betrayed them, when he hid the map because he didn't want him and his friends to separate yet. Afterwards, a bit later, Sokka and Katara decide to go back to Aang and apologize.
** SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has Korra, of all people, giving one to LadyOfWar Lin Beifong, snapping at her for being hostile towards Suyin and Opal and being unable to change. Surprisingly, these words cause Lin to shed a few tears when Korra leaves her alone.
** In "Original Airbenders" Bum-ju "gave one" to Bumi for [[RejectedApology not accepting his brother's apology.]]
** Mako delivers this to Korra when he and Asami reunite with her after so long when Asami let it slip that she knew what Korra has been up to due to Korra writing to her, but not to him or Bolin despite being just as worried about her well-being. Korra weakly defends that she didn't know what to write to them, which Mako refutes by saying that a simple "hello" would've sufficed.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
** In "Town And Out", the Professor gets a new job and moves the family from the City of Townsville to the Town of Cityville. After spotting a bank robbery, the girls ply their usual trade, doing craptons of collateral damage while catching the bank robbers (a normal day in Townsville). When they report to the mayor for congratulations, he yells at how stupid they are and that the money they recovered was a tiny fraction of the cost of the damage done.
** Buttercup gets a tongue-lashing from Bubbles, Blossom and Ms. Keane in "Paste Makes Waste" after she bullied Elmer.
** Blossom is chewed out by everyone in Townsville during "Fallen Arches" when she wouldn't stop the Ministry of Pain, her reasoning being that they should "respect their elders".
** In "Super Zeroes", the Girls (attempting to be more like comic superheroes) get called out [[RuleOfThree three times by three different people]] when they repeatedly show up late to stop a monster.
** During "What's The Big Idea", the Girls[[note]]At the time Mojo turned them huge with an invention of his[[/note]] get yelled at when they destroy some property.
** Bubbles gets called out by her sisters in "Bubblevicious" after she takes being 'hardcore' too far and starts beating the living hell out of innocent civilians for things like ''littering''.
** Both Blossom and Bubbles call out Buttercup in "Makes Zen to Me" for going too rough on Fuzzy Lumpkins even after he surrendered. Later, three doctors treating Fuzzy also chew her out, even calling her a monster, causing Buttercup to run off and find some inner peace with the help of a monk.
* Played for laughs in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' when Perry crashes through Dr. Doofenshmirtz's door rather than just knocking. Doofenshmirtz proceeds to give Perry a lecture about not going around breaking down other people's doors, and then guilts him into paying to get the door replaced. This had a great callback in a later episode, where Perry had a KEY and Dr. Doofenshmirtz actually comments how much nicer and easier it is now.
** Played straighter in the movie, Across the 2nd Dimension, when Phineas discovers Perry's secret identity.
--->'''Phineas''': So not only have you been leading a double life this whole time, you sat there and let us help an ''evil'' scientist open an ''evil'' portal into an ''evil'' dimension and you did nothing to stop us?!\\
'''Ferb''': Well, he did [[UrineTrouble pee on the couch.]]
** And ''that'' last comment sparks another one from Doofensmirtz.
--->'''Doofensmirtz:''' Wait a minute, I just realized, that was a conscious choice. You purposefully peed on my couch!\\
(Perry grins sheepishly and shrugs in embarrassment)

* The protagonists of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' get a lot of these, but most of them can be shrugged off due to the protagonists being very young. Finn is a young teenage boy who was raised by dogs, and Princess Bubblegum is a very young princess who holds the responsibility of ruling a large kingdom... and Jake is a dog. Notable examples for Finn are when he hurts all of those creatures in "Another Way," and in "Too Young," where he beats up Lemongrab and makes him cry. (Lemongrab was being an obnoxious, tyrannical asshole, but not on purpose, and he never physically hurt anybody.) Jake is a klepto, and occasionally makes statements that suggest murder, letting people burn alive, enslaving a group of mutants, and various forms of black humor.
** In "You Made Me!". Lemongrab tells off Princess Bubblegum for isolating him, and the princess realizes her mistakes, feels terrible, and tries to help the poor guy. She ends up creating a companion for him, and [[spoiler: he ends up eating him]].
** One of the biggest is when Finn sets up a fight between Flame Princess and Ice King just to get a pleasurable dream.
** With the reveal is that despite her young appearance, [[Really700YearsOld Bubblegum is actually centuries old]], many of her morally questionable actions are shown not to be due to inexperience, but [[PragmaticHero pure pragmatism]]. Some of the ethically dubious actions she's partaken in includes sacrificing the lives of individuals, locking children away for years, and ''genocide''.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': After finding out that Jake had his Dragon Chi confiscated on purpose so he could relax, his grandfather Lao Shi begins to become furious. Before he can even properly begin ranting to himself, Jake's younger sister Haley, who has been filling in for him, loses her temper and [[CallingTheOldManOut angrily tells Lao Shi]] off for putting all the burden of defending a magical realm on a teenage boy. Despite arguably being the stronger dragon of the two, she admits that she can't imagine doing the job for even another day, much less several years. She points out that the position has forced Jake to constantly be late for or miss school, lie to his father about his true nature as a dragon, and allow his own girlfriend's memories of him be erased, all in addition to the fact that no mortal is even allowed to know of the magical realm he's protecting, much less acknowledge the work he does. Lao Shi takes this to heart and decides to cut Jake's dragon training in half when he next sees him.
-->'''Haley''': He may be the American Dragon, but he's also a 14 year-old kid who just wanted a couple days off. If that makes him immature, fine. But self-serving? {{With all due respect}} to both of you, ''STEP OFF''.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'': After Kowalski confesses to the other penguins that he stole parts from Mort's "Friend-In-A-Box" in order to finish his mind-reading device, he turns it on them to see what they're thinking...
-->'''Private''': Oh, ''Kowalski''... How ''could'' you?\\
'''Skipper''': The sight of you makes me throw up in my beak, soldier!\\
'''Rico''': ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssshhhhh!]]''
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** Cartman as the Coon is called out for actions such as planning to blow up a hospital, faking pictures to blackmail someone, and teaming up with [[spoiler:''Cthulhu'']]. With Cartman, the term hero is used loosely. Everyone is suitably disgusted with him, assuming they're not too terrified to be that way.
** Jesus questions Santa's actions when he shoots his terrorist captor in an inversion of a scene from ''Film/ThreeKings''.
--->'''Santa''': I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't let him live. He shocked Santa's balls!
** In "The China Probrem", after Butters accidentally shoots a hostage in the crotch:
--->'''Cartman:''' Aw dude, you shot him in the dick.\\
'''Butters:''' Huh?\\
'''Cartman:''' That's not cool Butters. You don't shoot a guy in the dick.\\
'''Butters:''' But I was just trying to stop him, and you said-\\
'''Cartman:''' [faces him] It doesn't matter, Butters! You never shoot a guy in the dick. Everyone knows that! Shooting a guy in the dick?? That's just, that's just weak. I can't believe you, Butters.
** Chef chews out the boys for revealing that his bride-to-be Veronica is a {{Succubus}} on the night before the wedding (which is true). It doesn't help that they were jealous of her. He forgives them after they send her back to the pits of Hell.
** It's not all that rare that in as soon as season 6, Kyle and ''especially'' Stan get called out by their parents or someone else. For example, in "Fun With Veal", the adults call the boys out for "saving" the baby cows from becoming veal. You can't help but side with the kids on this, though, and this ''is'' an AuthorFilibuster based on one of Trey's real-life traits of not eating baby animal meat. And in "The F-Word", the school staff calls the boys out for spray-painting "FAGS GET OUT" on a wall to get the annoying Harley riders out of South Park. Mayor [=McDaniels=] does this ''twice'', one of them during the call out.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' episode "King Scoopa Koopa": Luigi and Yoshi, who have become hooked on Koopa's fast food, trade in [[ItsPersonal Princess Toadstool's treasure chest]] to continue feeding their addiction. When Princess discovers this, she promptly calls them out on it.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode, Brian's Got a Brand New Bag, Brian calls out the entire Griffin family for harassing his latest girlfriend, Rita trying to get her to reveal how old she is, and bringing her to tears in the process. Later in the same episode, Rita calls Brian out for having sex with another woman, and acting like it was no big deal[[note]]In fact, he tries to claim it was a ''good thing'', because it taught him what a good thing he has with her[[/note]], and promptly breaks up with him.

-->'''Twilight:''' "What made you think casting a spell on your friends to do your bidding was even ''remotely'' a good idea?"
-->'''Starlight:''' "Well, when you put it that way, it sounds really bad."
-->'''Twilight:''' "THAT'S BECAUSE IT ''IS'' REALLY BAD!"

*** "Princes All", has the inciting inidcent itself, when Batman and Green Arrow, among others, quit, with Black Canary calling them out for abandoning Kaldur, who is now Aquaman II, and Diana, the latter of whom is out in space. When Batman tries to recruit a just-resigned (for other reasons) Black Lightnigh, he gets this again, as Jeff flat-out tells him he doesn't trust Bruce.

* In the various ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' series, all the main characters get hit with this trope from time to time. Ben gets slammed by Gwen in "The Alliance", while Grandpa get slammed by Ben in "Ultimate Weapon".
** ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'': In the episode "In Charm's Way," after Kevin spends the entire episode being a {{Jerkass}} to Gwen, believing that she hasn't even been trying to find a way to fix his [[BalefulPolymorph most recent mutation]], Ben hits him with one of these, not only informing him that Gwen has in fact been spending every spare moment since the accident occurred trying to find a cure for him, but for just automatically assuming that Gwen ''wasn't'' trying to help him in the first place:
-->'''Kevin''': She... she never told me.\\
'''Ben''': Should she have ''had'' to?
** In ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'': Magister Korwak get's pretty mad when Ben knowingly transports Argit to his training facility as bait for a superpowered Kevin. He calls Ben out on endangering recruits, not Plumbers with his plan, and not even bothering to inform him or anyone on the base about it, until after they'd come aboard.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'': It starts right off with Scooby and the gang locked in jail because their recent mystery adventure has disrupted Crystal Cove's revenue stream (it's a supernatural tourist attraction), then episode 26 has the gang divided as Fred discovers the Mayor ''isn't'' his real dad, and Velma had kept Angel Dynamite's identity (previous Mystery Inc. member Cassidy Williams) a secret, to which the others took umbrage.
* One ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' has Dexter help rebuild Dynomutt at Blue Falcon's request after a battle with a foe leaves Dynomutt badly damaged. Dexter does so, but once he finds out that Dynomutt's an idiot, he dumps him and builds a sleeker, NinetiesAntiHero-type Dynomutt. When the robot goes berserk, Blue Falcon attempts to pull a IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight speech, only for Dexter to sheepishly admit that this Dynomutt wasn't ''his'' Dynomutt, that he wasn't "cool". Blue Falcon tells Dexter off for thinking that, just because Dynomutt was clumsy and stupid doesn't mean he wasn't "cool".
* Played for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''. When it's revealed that, not only did Ronnie Raymond break up with Killer Frost via text message, but he made her pay for all their dates, he gets one from Jason Rusch.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' has Doug's father admonish him after learning that he had he got into a fight. Granted, it was mostly because Skeeter wouldn't stop talking about it and blew the entire incident way out of proportion.
* The very first short of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', "Stimpy's Invention", has Ren calling Stimpy a "sick little monkey" when the Happy Helmet is slapped onto his head. Anything else is drowned out when Stimpy activates it.

* Splinter of ''Westernanimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' is usually the first to call out any of the turtles whenever they screw up on a mission. While calling them out, he usually resorts to disciplining them, [[HumiliationConga humiliating them in lessons made in particular for them]], and even making their missions harder for them all as punishment should any of them go against his word.
** One example shows how short-tempered this incarnation of Splinter is when Leo decides to give his leadership position to Raph when the latter wouldn't stop running his mouth off.
--->'''Leonardo''': (...) I've had to make every other decision and I'm tired of it! Those guys have no idea what kind of pressure I'm under and all they do is complain. Is it too much to ask for a simple "Thank you?"\\
'''Splinter''': Of course it is! Leadership is not about being appreciated, it is about responsibility. It doesn't matter that the burden is heavy, It matters that you carry it. Now go find your brothers!
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** In "Summerween", Mabel is plenty mad at Dipper when [[SkewedPriorities his obsession with being "cool" and "adult"]] in front of [[PrecociousCrush Wendy]] causes him to lose all the candy the twins and Mabel's friends were collecting for the Summerween Trickster, putting all their lives in danger.
** In "Boyz Crazy", Dipper reveals that Robbie not only stole the song he supposedly "wrote" for Wendy, but it had subliminal messages in it, and she angrily breaks up with him. Immediately asks her to hang out, only for a distraught Wendy to lay into ''him'', too, for being so thoughtless.
** Dipper gets called out again in "Dreamscaperers" for not wanting to save Grunkle Stan's mind from the invading [[DreamWalker Bill Ciper]] due to Grunkle Stan's memories showing that he believes Dipper to be worthless and wants to get rid of him.

-->'''Chas:''' Look at you! Don't you see what you've done?! While you were insulting each other and bringing up every petty difference from your past, you've forgotten about your children, the most important thing in your insignificant lives! You ought to be ashamed!
** Also, in "[[Recap/RugratsS3E15NakedTommyTommyAndTheSecretClub Naked Tommy]]", Betty gives one to Didi for trying to make her listen to her crackpot idol's advice after finding that Tommy's nudist phase had rubbed off on her twins.

* In ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'', Dawson shouts at Basil for indulging in moping while the world is in danger.
-->"Dash it all, Basil, the Queen's in danger, Olivia's counting on us, we're about to be horribly splatted, and all you can do is lie there feeling sorry for yourself! I know you can save us. But if you've given up, then why don't we just set it off now and be done with it?!"

* WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood: During a fight Robin (then Jason Todd) brutally attacks and shatters the collarbone of one of the criminals they were apprehending when said criminal tried to shoot him. Jason and Batman argue about this later, Batman feeling that he over-stepped while Jason justifies it under the fact that the guy was a drug-dealing pimp. Though Jason does concede to Batman's point when he points out that the man is in shock and they can't get any information from him. Jason admits it was a stupid thing to do, but isn't sorry for the damage.
** Red Hood gives one to Batman at the end of the film, though with a twist. When Batman apologizes for letting [[spoiler:Jason die, Jason accuses him of being blinded by guilt and an antiquated sense of morality. However, he doesn't hold a grudge against Batman for failing to save him, but he's furious that the Joker is still alive]].
* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. In the timeframe of the movie, Bullfighting was the biggest sport, and the great matadors were roughly equivalent to modern day sports heroes. Manolo [[spoiler: refusing outright to kill the bull]] not only had the spectators react with dismay, the entire town turned on him, such that General Posada invited the whole town, including people he hates, to Maria's welcome back party -- except Manolo.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' is constantly called out on his horrible acts by other characters.
** It seems to run in the family. His mother, Malory, also gets plenty of these, especially after she [[spoiler:starts a drug cartel]] in Season 5.
** Cyril has also gotten a few, mostly over his tendency to randomly shoot at anything in sight whenever he's nervous. From "Space Race":
-->'''Lana''': Way to go! You just shot two guys who were just minding their own damn business, and oh yeah, the only person who knew how to ''fly'' this damn thing!
** In "Stage 2", Brett makes fun of Archer for being a man with breast cancer. Archer then beats the shit out of him.
** In "El Secuestro", Pam does this to the entire cast regarding how little they cared when she got kidnapped.

-->'''Malory''': What-
-->'''Kremenski''': [[EvenEvilHasStandards THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!]]
** Ray gives one to the whole cast in "Baby Shower" for how inconsiderately they behaved towards Lana.
*** In the same episode, Archer gives one to Cyril after hearing one too many insults directed at Lana's donor baby.
-->[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Cyril, quit pouting, accept the fact that Lana was so far out of your league that impregnating her would've basically been interspecies breeding, and]] ''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech get on with your life!]]''
** Ray gets one from both Archer and Lana after they find out that he had been [[spoiler:faking paralysis]] the entire season.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Gumball and Darwin give and receive their fair share of these.
** From "The Limit":
--->'''Darwin''': We should make cardboard cutouts of ourselves, set the car on fire, and throw it off a cliff to teach mom a lesson!\\
''[Gumball and Anais silently stare at him, horrified]''\\
'''Gumball''': I have a better, less ''horrific'' idea.
*** Later in the same episode, Nicole declares that Richard has "[[BerserkButton pushed her past the limit]]" by actively encouraging the kids to shoplift.
** In "The Saint", after Gumball sells Alan's parents into slavery:
--->'''Gumball''': Is it possible [[{{Understatement}} I've gone too far?]]\\
'''Darwin''': No, no, no. You went too far ''ages'' ago. Now, you're going to prison.
** A non-Watterson example in "The Law", when the Donut Sheriff lets [[RichBitch Felicity Parham]] off with a warning even though she's clearly still dangerous.
-->'''Gumball''': Are you ''nuts''? That woman is an absolute menace to society!
** "The Sidekick": After Darwin is put in charge, he asks Gumball for advice on what to do to get back at Tobias. Gumball says to do something petty like take something he likes. Cut to:
--->'''Gumball''': YOU KIDNAPPED HIS MOM?!\\
'''Darwin''': You said to take something he likes!\\
'''Gumball''': Some''thing''! Not some''one''!
** In "The Nobody", [[spoiler:Rob]] calls out Gumball and Darwin for ignoring him when he got trapped in the void in "The Void".
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has a few, but the most noteworthy might be the season six finale, where Mordecai interrupts Muscle Man's wedding to give a speech about ''his own'' love life. Everyone, including the often callous Rigby, call him out on the horrible timing.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Born Again Krabs," Squidward gives Mr. Krabs a scathing speech to this effect after he sells [=SpongeBob's=] soul to the Flying Dutchman for pocket change (a whole 62 cents), despite the fact that [=SpongeBob=] willingly put his life on the line in order to save Krabs from being taken by the Dutchman.
-->'''Squidward''': He stuck up for you, and you ''sold him out''. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!
* Nick Wilde, one of the two protagonists in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'', gives a solid calling out to Chief Bogo for demanding that Judy Hopps surrender her badge due to her failing to solve a missing mammal case [[RaceAgainstTheClock within the allocated time]] by reminding him that she still has 10 hours left. He also points out that Bogo gave Judy, an inexperienced rookie cop, an ImpossibleTask of solving a case ''by herself'' with virtually no resources despite her more experienced co-workers struggling on the same case.
** He also gives one in the form of {{Armor Piercing Question}}s to Judy after she says her thoughts that [[spoiler: the carnivores are reverting to their savage ways]] at the conference.
* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', Steven delivers one to Lapis Lazuli, who had been... ''indisposed'' throughout [[spoiler:Peridot's]] entire [[HeelFaceTurn redemption arc]] and spends the entire episode furious at said character for bringing her back to Earth. While he acknowledges that Lapis [[TraumaCongaLine had indeed gone through a lot]], he points out that [[spoiler:Peridot]] did so as well, is making a huge effort to be a better person, is probably just as terrified as Lapis at the idea of being stuck on an unfamiliar planet, and has spent the entire episode trying to be amicable towards someone who clearly hates her.
** Garnet gives a huge one to [[spoiler: Pearl]] when she finds out that the latter has been [[spoiler: repeatedly fixing the communication hub just to continue fusing with Garnet, due to the PowerHigh she gets when they form Sardonyx]]. Garnet is ''extremely'' '''''furious''''' with [[spoiler: Pearl]] for her actions, that they don't speak for a long while, and it takes a few episodes for them to finally patch things up.
* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': In "Rick Potion #9", Morty has Rick concoct a love potion so he can woo Jessica, a girl he has a crush on. Because Jessica has the flu, she ends up transmitting the effects of the potion to the entire school and within a few hours, the entire world wants to have sex with Morty (though not any of Morty's family as the potion doesn't work on people with his DNA). [[spoiler:Rick's attempts to reverse the issue eventually end up with the entire planet being irreversably mutated into shambling Cronenberg-esque horrors and Rick and Morty end up abandoning it to live in an alternate universe where they died]]. Morty asks Rick about why he did this, and Rick tears Morty a new one, pointing out that what Morty was trying to do to Jessica was ''date rape''. ''[[JerkassHasAPoint And he's right]]''.
-->'''Rick:''' Me irresponsible!? All I wanted you to do was hand me a screwdriver, Morty! You're the one who wanted me to buckle down and make a roofie juice serum, so you could roofie the poor girl at your school! You kidding me, Morty!? You're going to try and take the high road on this one? You're a creep, Morty!
* In the ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' episode "Here to Help", it's revealed that [[spoiler:Moon Butterfly]] was the one who helped Mina build a new Solarian army in order to overthrow Queen Eclipsa. They claim that this was to prevent Mina from doing something even worse, but Star rightfully points out that [[spoiler: a) there was no way Mina would have accomplished anything as destructive as a super-powered, nigh-immortal military force on her own]] and [[spoiler: b) Mina is a genocidal psychopath who she can't possibly control]]. Star is proven right when Mina betrays [[spoiler:Moon]] the following episode and proves powerless to stop her.
* On ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', all the other characters are this to Jet whenever he does something really dumb. For example, this line from ''Satellite Selfie''
-->'''Sydney:''' Jet, where in the world did you get the idea to put rutabaga and garlic into a cookie?!?
* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'': Professor X gets one of these from his students after it was revealed that their principal was actually Mystique. Earlier in the episode, he and Logan had a conversation about it with Logan wondering why he doesn't just tell them the truth. Charles responds with the fact that they are supposed to respect their principal, but how does he tell the them that the respectful figure and their enemy are one and the same, clearly having struggled with revealing it to them for a while. The final scene of the episode "Turn of the Rogue" has the students surprised by the fact and even saying it was the same as lying to them.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In "Let's Play Danger Island Survivor", Kaeloo forces her friends to participate on a really lame game show called "Danger Island Survivor". Everyone complains about this, and in the end, Mr. Cat snaps and ends up getting mad at Kaeloo, pointing out how stupid it is. Kaeloo gets really mad and beats him up just for expressing his opinion (which was in fact everyone else's opinion but hers). Stumpy and Quack Quack are both disgusted by her actions, and they and Mr. Cat kick her out of Smileyland (the ResetButton ensures that she's allowed back in by the next episode).
* ''WesternAnimation/IsleOfDogs'':
** Ironically, it's the hero of our story (Chief) who is giving such a speech to another hero (Spots), the one they've been searching for. He calls out Spots for [[spoiler:essentially wanting to give up his duty as Atari's guard dog because he has a new duty as the leader of the Aboriginal dogs, and he is going to be a father]]. And this is after what Atari went through to find his beloved dog, something none of the Megasaki residents even bothered to try.
-->'''Chief''': You [[LiteralMetaphor son of a bitch]]! If we don't drown, I'm gonna strangle you myself. I don't care how many exploding teeth you try to spit out at me. Do you have ''any'' idea what that little pilot just went through to try to rescue you?! How DARE you!
** Once taken in by the aboriginal dog tribe, Spots asks if they're going to eat him due to hearing that they're cannibals. Their leader Gordo is offended that Spots believes it ("Who told you that dirty lie?") and tells him that [[spoiler:they ate only one dog due to starvation, and they felt guilty for even doing it]]. However, Gordo is polite enough to let Spots stay with his tribe, and [[NiceGuy Spots]] apologizes for offending the aboriginal dogs.
** On a milder note, Rex is not happy with Chief's way of doing things and calls him out several times. One notable moment is when Atari tells the dogs to sit. They all sit, but Chief doesn't.
-->'''Rex''': Chief! Sit!
-->'''Chief''': I don't sit.
-->'''Rex''': You're disobedient! SIT!
-->'''Chief''': [[LittleNo No]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' episode "Fleeced to Meet You" has a sketch where the superhero Completely Powerful Guy avoids going after criminals his sidekick Wonderful Boy informs are on the loose by claiming to be completely vulnerable to the various villains' attacks and not wanting to risk getting hurt by them. Wonderful Boy responds to Completely Powerful Guy's excuses by irately pointing out that he's acting less like a hero and more like a pathetic coward.
* ''WesternAnimation/Superbook2011'': Chris gets this quite a bit across the series--from Joy, from his mother Phoebe, from Jesus Himself--for his acts of selfishness, his overly entitled attitude, and his reckless behavior in general. One of the more heartbreaking ones comes from Joy in "Peter's Denial," while she's in the middle of a HeroicBSOD over Chris having just casually pretended not to know her, his best friend of several years, just so he can try to impress and hang out with some cool kids who think Joy's a geek for being president of the chess club.
--> '''Joy:''' Chris...how could you do that?
--> '''Chris:''' Joy, those guys don't think the chess club is very cool, and you know how much I wanna--
--> '''Joy:''' And that makes it okay to pretend you don't ''(voice cracks)'' ...know me?
--> '''Chris:''' Joy...you know I'm your friend.
--> '''Joy:''' I ''thought'' I knew.
* The ''WesternAnimation/BumpInTheNight'' ChristmasEpisode "Twas the Night Before Bumpy" has two instants of Mr. Bumpy being called out on being unscrupulous by his best friend Squishington.

** Near the end of the special, Mr. Bumpy tries to keep the last present to himself after stealing Santa's presents and accidentally [[SubbingForSanta delivering the gifts to everyone in Santa's place]] and brushes off Squishington's complaints of how Bumpy promised to get him the feet he wanted so he could tap dance and hasn't delivered on his promise in spite of their harrowing adventure at the North Pole. Squishington responds by calling Bumpy's conduct "uncool", which makes Bumpy realize how selfish he's been being and persuades him to give the last present to his friend in hopes of making amends. Squishington forgives his friend when the present turns out to be a tap-dancing noisemaker, enabling him to tap dance without feet.

** In "The Secret(s) of Castle [=McDuck=]," Huey and Louie are not quite happy when they find out that Dewey has been keeping his search for Della, their mother, a secret from them. While Huey is furious at what Dewey did, Louie can only sit down in the fetal poistion, looking like he's about to cry, and tell Dewey that what he did was "not okay."
** In "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser,'' Huey, Dewey, and Louie all call out Scrooge when he reveals the truth about Della.

*** In the same episode, Mrs. Beakley calls out Scrooge after he snaps at Webby and tells her that she's not family.

*** While Della is scolding Louie, telling him that what he did was reckless and how he almost put the whole family in danger, Louie replies with a spiteful "I wonder who I got that from," indicating that he still hasn't forgiven Della for the whole Spear of Selene incident. While most of the other characters are shocked after hearing this, Mrs. Beakley is downright furious that Louie would say something like that to his own mother and is about to give him a piece of her mind, but Della stops her.

** In "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck," Huey and Louie are not quite happy when they find out that Dewey has been keeping his search for Della, their mother, a secret from them.

* Happens a bit in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', in particular the episode "Clash". ComicBook/LexLuthor has, in an [[PetTheDog attempt at genuine charity]], built a self-sustaining city for the homeless. Superman sees a device underground with a timer and sets out to destroy it, despite Lex's attempts to convince him that he's mistaken. Captain Marvel wisely disagrees and thinks they should call an expert in to see what the device really is. [[LetsYouAndHimFight Mayhem ensues]]. In the end the fight [[NiceJobBreakingItHero destroys the city]], and the device is revealed to be a kryptonite-powered generator. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that this was a BatmanGambit by Lex Luthor to discredift Superman, by manipulating [[ParanoiaGambit Superman's distrust of Luthor]].]] The whole fiasco made Captain Marvel verbally tear the [[TheMagnificentSevenSamurai Original Seven]] a new one before resigning:

*** "Antisocial Pathologies" sees [[spoiler:Jeff figure out what's going on and calls out them, and informs the Outsiders.

Barbara then calls out Bruce on being SecretlySelfish upon the fact that the Anti-Light consists of people who are used to deferring to him (Dick, Tim, and Barbara herself being his proteges, and Kaldur and M'gann from the Team being forms during his tenure as Justice League leader) and the one person who isn't, Diana, is in space, where all she can do is criticize the lot of them.]]
