History WhatTheHellHero / WesternAnimation

'''Classmate:''' But she's just a little girl.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'': In "Arthur's Big Hit", Arthur punches D.W. after she touches his model airplane though he told her not to touch it. Needless to say, his friends and family are upset about it.

* 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.
** Connie gives one to Steven after he [[spoiler:returns from having given himself up to Homeworld in order to save her and some other humans they were trying to abduct]], upset with him for seemingly giving up on their belief that they would face any dangers together. While Steven did have a point at the time since [[spoiler:the Gems that they were fighting were able to overpower them easily]], it was insensitive of him to act like [[spoiler:being taken into space to his potential death]] was nothing, because it was clearly distressing for her.

--->'''Gumball''': YOU KIDNAPPED HIS MOM?!\\
'''Darwin''': You said to take something he likes!\\
'''Gumball''': Some''thing''! Not some''one''!

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "[[Recap/RugratsS2E10ReptarOnIceFamilyFeud Family Feud]]", when the babies run off and Chas is the only one who notices while the Pickles and [=DeVilles=] are busy arguing over petty little things, he flips out and reads them the riot act for it.

--->'''Gumball''': Is it possible [[{{Understatement}} I've gone too far?]]\\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In "Let's Play Danger Island Survivor", Kaeloo forces her friends to participate in 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).

** 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':

* 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.

[[AC:Animated Film]]
* ''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.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/ABugsLife A Bug's Life]]'', Flik the ant, desperate to make up for his blundering, decides to ally the colony with stronger insects to drive off the villainous grasshoppers. It's only after he's brought them back and introduced them as the colony's saviors that he realizes that it was a misunderstanding, and they're actually circus performers. Rather than be exposed as a blunderer yet again, Flik wheedles the circus bugs into keeping up the charade and works behind the scenes, formulating their battle plan. When the circus bugs' original boss shows up and Flik's dishonesty is revealed, the Queen angrily orders them to leave.
-->'''Queen:''' I never thought I'd see the day when an ant would put ''himself'' before the rest of his colony! The point is, Flik, you lied to us!
** And, her daughter, Princess Atta pulls no punches when she banishes Flik:
--> '''Atta:''' You lied, Flik. You lied to her! You lied to the colony! You lied to '''me'''! And like an idiot, I believed you. (...) I want you to leave, Flik. And this time, don't come back.
* In ''WesternAnimation/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/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]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': Santa gives Jack a hefty chewing-out when he comes to apologize. In the original poem, he's much more understanding (possibly because he didn't have an evil, sapient burlap sack full of insects gloating about how it intended to turn him into stew and eat him).
* Nick Wilde, one of the two protagonists in ''WesternAnimation/{{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.
* {{Downplayed|Trope}} and PlayedForLaughs in ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess''. After Derek’s “What else is there?” flub leads to Odette calling off the wedding, Lord Rogers proceeds to give him an earful on just how badly he screwed up.
-->'''Rogers:''' ''"What else is there?"''? She says, "Is beauty all that matters?", and ''you'' say, '''''"What else is there?"'''''!?\\
'''Derek:''' It was ''dumb'', I know!\\
'''Rogers:''' [[DeadpanSnarker You should write a book;]] ''[[DeadpanSnarker How to Offend Women in Five Syllables or Less.]]''

* ''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.

* 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.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/ABugsLife A Bug's Life]]'', Flik the ant, desperate to make up for his blundering, decides to ally the colony with stronger insects to drive off the villainous grasshoppers. It's only after he's brought them back and introduced them as the colony's saviors that he realizes that it was a misunderstanding, and they're actually circus performers. Rather than be exposed as a blunderer yet again, Flik wheedles the circus bugs into keeping up the charade and works behind-the-scenes, formulating their battle plan. When the circus bugs' original boss shows up and Flik's dishonesty is revealed, the Queen angrily orders them to leave.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' one episode has 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.

** 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''.

-->'''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''.

** 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.

* WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble: Black Panther calls out the Avengers for being [[EasilyCondemned so closed minded that they won't even try to give him the benefit of the doubt]] after [[spoiler:he was framed for killing Captain America]] and thus he has decided that Wakanda is now off limits to all outsiders including the Avengers.

* 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 [[ForcedTransformation 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:

** 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.

* One ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' has Dexter help rebuild [[WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder 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".
* 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.

** 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. They even accuse Scrooge of being so cheap that he didn't even bother to try and find their mom, not knowing that in fact, Scrooge almost went backrupt trying to find Della and only stopped his search when his board members forced him to.

** In the 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.
** Similarly in another episode, Peter has his identity stolen by James Woods. James Woods impersonates Peter and claims the house, the family, and everything else belongs to him and calls the cops on Peter to kick him out. Joe appears after the call and you would think that he would arrest James Woods since Joe knew Peter for years or at least ask Peter for his identification to clear up the mess. What happens that Joe follows the law instead and declares James Woods is telling the truth, prompting Joe to kick Peter out. Lois calls Joe out on this bullshit, but he doesn't listen due to him holding the IdiotBall.
** Brian doesn't try to hide the fact he is willing to do anything for a drink or to sleep with a woman, but in the episode "Be Careful What You Fish For", Brian dates Emily, Stewie's preschool teacher who is far from qualified from looking after toddlers. Emily lets the kids do what they want and doesn't bother trying to keep the place clean or safe, which creates horrible conditions that Stewie tells Brian about and Brian was going to have words with Emily until he saw how hot she was. Stewie calls Brian out for his actions and after his arm got pulled of his socket by Emily and when Stewie tries to tell Lois, Brian attempts to shut Stewie up just to be able to keep dating Emily. Only when Brian finds out Emily already has a boyfriend does he decide to call the cops on her for the preschool's conditions.
** Quagmire gives a giant one to Brian, detailing pretty much every single flaw that he had. To put all of the flaws in as few words as possible, Brian is pretentious, a complete hypocrite, dishonest, a lazy moocher and sexually promiscuous (which also leads back to the hypocrite part too).

* In ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'', Harley grabs a gun and shoots a criminal named Carl with it, but the blast does nothing. When his partner, Kev, figures out that Harley shot him with a "Cancer Ray", Carl responds with a hurt "Harley, you gave me ''cancer''?!" Even Harley is horrified as she drops the gun, asks who'd build such a stupid thing and apologize when Carl decides to leave and spend time with his family.

** "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:

* ''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).

* 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.

** Buttercup gets a tongue-lashing from Bubbles, Blossom and Ms. Keane in "Paste Makes Waste" after she bullied Elmer.

* ''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]]''.

** 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.
* Peter gets a lot of those in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', but among the biggest are the one he gets for running away to make pictures of Lizard and publish them in Bugle, instead of helping everybody finding the cure for his state, then gets one from Eddie for not calling the cops but taking pictures of Spider-Man stealing alien lifeform and again for not visiting Aunt May in hospital (of course Eddie doesn't know about Peter's SecretIdentity).

** Jonah gets one from captain Stacy, when he cheers on Mysterio's mechanical gremlins beating Spider-Man.

-->'''Squidward''': He stuck up for you, and you ''sold him out''. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

-->'''Mr. Krabs''': All this brawlin' is over a toy?! You shouldn't let a little trinkle of it between yous! You should be ashamed of yourselves.

--> '''Mr. Krabs:''' You had to kill him. The boy cries you a sweater of tears...and you kill him. How are you gonna live with yourself?

* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E08PathOfTheJedi , "Path of the Jedi"]]: Yoda chides Ezra on wanting revenge against the Empire, asking if that's what he was taught was the Jedi way.

* ''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.

*** "Antisocial Pathologies" sees [[spoiler:Jeff figure out what's going on and calls out them, and informs the Outsiders. Beast Boy then joins in in calling them out, especially upon learning that Kaldur took a dive in "First Impressions" to make the Outsiders look good and the staged incident in "Elder Wisdom". Jeff is then livid upon learning that Kaldur and Bruce aren't sorry and Barbara points out to Gar that while the Outsiders are publicly a separate team, really, they're still part of the League. 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 formed 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.]]

** 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.

** In the 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.

** ''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:

* When Charlie Brown becomes the leader of the boys' and girls' merged teams in ''WesternAnimation/RaceForYourLifeCharlieBrown'', Lucy and Peppermint Patty are quick to criticize him. Charlie saves the gang off a water wheel when they become stuck and Lucy [[UngratefulBastard even yells at him for that, of all things]].

*** Later in the same episode, Nicole declares that Richard has "[[BerserkButton pushed her past the limit]]" by actively encouraging the kids to shoplift.

* 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.

* When Charlie Brown becomes the leader of the boys' and girls' merged teams in ''WesternAnimation/RaceForYourLifeCharlieBrown'', Lucy and Peppermint Patty are quick to criticize him. Charlie saves the gang off a water wheel when they become stuck and Lucy even yells at him for that.

* ''WesternAnimation/IronMan''

* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'': In "[[Recap/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeastsS1E06Ratland Ratland]]", although she can't speak, Mandu gets the message across to Wolf by growling that she is not pleased that Wolf is keeping the clue to Kipo's family's whereabouts hidden from her. Wolf brushes her off.

* 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.

* 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.

** 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 "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]].

* WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble: Black Panther calls out the Avengers for being [[EasilyCondemned so closed minded that they won't even try to give him the benefit of the doubt]] after [[spoiler: he was framed for killing Captain America]] and thus he has decided that Wakanda is now off limits to all outsiders including the Avengers.

** In "[[Recap/BojackHorsemanS5E10HeadInTheClouds Head in the Clouds]]," Diane takes [=BoJack=] to task for [[spoiler: taking Sarah Lynn on the bender that killed her, almost sleeping with a seventeen-year-old girl, and using ''Philbert'' as a way to justify his own shitty behavior]].
** The episode "[[Recap/BojackHorsemanS6E12XeroxOfAXerox Xerox of a Xerox]]" sees [=BoJack=] get called out on his pattern of taking advantage of women less powerful than him, especially Sarah Lynn, [[spoiler: and it's revealed he waited seventeen minutes to call for help when she was dying in order to cover his tracks.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' "Wishology" trilogy, Timmy calls out Jorgen and Turbo Thunder for [[spoiler: automatically assuming the Darkness was evil because it "looked scary"]].

** 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:

** Happens twice in "A Better World" -- 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 ''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 they're betrayed by Mina the following episode and prove powerless to stop 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.
** Connie gives one to Steven after he [[spoiler:returns from having given himself up to Homeworld in order to save her and some other humans they were trying to abduct]], upset with him for seemingly giving up on their belief that they would face any dangers together. While Steven did have a point at the time since [[spoiler: the Gems that they were fighting were able to overpower them easily]], it was insensitive of him to act like [[spoiler:being taken into space to his potential death]] was nothing, because it was clearly distressing for her.

*** 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.

** In "Satisfaction" [[spoiler: the original Roy]] ''tears'' into Green Arrow for [[spoiler:letting him be captured and not doing more to save him (his own clone had to save him instead)]]. Ollie is ''crushed'' by this and considers himself a terrible mentor.
** In "Darkest", Wally calls Nightwing out for [[spoiler:allowing Mount Justice to be destroyed and having Aqualad capture Beast Boy, Impulse, and Blue Beetle in exchange for information on the Light]]. More generally, any time Dick does something rude or inconsiderate or too freakin' dangerous, Wally will point it out. This is such a regular aspect of their relationship that Dick deliberately leaves Wally behind in the episode "Performance," because he didn't want Wally to question his objectivity, given the personal nature of the mission he was leading. In Season 3, after [[spoiler:Wally has been dead for two years]], Will Harper [[spoiler: (the clone of Roy Harper)]] points out that Dick seriously relied on Wally to do this for him and help him keep things in perspective.
** In "Before the Dawn", [[spoiler: Artemis gives one to M'Gann after the latter [[MindRape Mind Rapes]] Aqualad in a coma. Interestingly Artemis' tone is more hurt than anything else and her ''speech'' is just simply "M'Gann, what have you done?"]] This results in a [[HeroicBSOD HBSD]] for poor M'Gann since [[spoiler: she found out Aqualad was a [[FakeDefector fake traitor]]...but only after putting him in the coma.]]

*** "Princes All", has the inciting incident 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.

* 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.
