History WhatTheHellHero / WesternAnimation

*** "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 upon the fact that the Anti-Light consists of people who are used to deferring to him (Dick, Barbara, and Tim 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.]]

** "Princes All", 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.
** "Triptych" later revealed [[spoiler:that Batman, Wonder Woman, Nightwing, Robin III, Oracle Aquaman II, and Miss Martian were in league together in secret the whole time, trying to circumvent the Light's hold on the UN and the populace. However, Diana isn't fond of keeping their teammates in the dark and attempts to call them out.]]
** "Elder Wisdom" once again sees [[spoiler:Diana call out the "Anti-Light" for staging a battle (Bruce posing as a father of a missing girl, M'gann posing as said daughter, and robots the League seized from years of battle) to make the newly-public Outsiders (as most of the covert ops unit is now going by) look good.]]

** 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 . 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 three, 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 "Satisfaction" [[spoiler:Real!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.

--->'''Darkseid''': You know his pattern, Kal-El, once he finished siphoning the memory banks of my planet...\\
'''Superman''': He will annihilate it. ''Good.''\\

'''Darkseid''': You may not care about what happens to me or my world, but know this: if Brainiac is not stopped, countless more will perish. Think about it. *Leaves*\\
'''Hawkgirl''': What are you saying? You'll let millions die ''just because you don't like this guy!?''\\

---->'''Batman:''' We know he used you. Humiliated you. Brainwashed you. Wound you up like a tin soldier and let you loose on Earth. ''Cry me a river.'' On the outside chance that this isn't one of his schemes, we have to take action. So, I suggest you ''get over it.''

* ''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''. ''And he's right''.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' episode "Pizza Party", 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, immortal military force on her own and b) Mina is a genocidal psychopath who she can't possibly control]]. Star is proven right when Mina betrays [[spoiler:Moon]] and proves powerless to stop her.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "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.

** Also, in "Naked Tommy", Betty gives to Didi for trying to make her listen to her crackpot idol's advice after finding her twins naked.

** One of the best WhatTheHellHero moments was the utterly EPIC speech given to Brian by Quagmire, detailing pretty much every single flaw that Brian 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).

* ''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...

** In the episode "The Doomsday Sanction," where Batman gives one to Superman:

** Also in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode ''Twilight (of the Gods)'' 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.

** 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."]]]]

* ''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.
** On a milder note, Rex is not happy with Chief's way of doing things and calls him out, like not wanting to help Atari at first and getting them injured along the way.
-->'''Rex''': You're disobedient!

** Also in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode ''Twilight (of the Gods)'' Superman has a ''massive'' one due to Darkseid popping up to ask for help to save Apokolyps 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.

-->'''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.

-->'''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.

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

--> '''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."

** The Cutie Mark Crusaders get a few from "Ponyville Confidential", but special mention goes to [[SilentBob Big Macintosh]], who was actually mad enough to chew them out for humiliating him and Applejack.

--->'''Batman:''' We know he used you. Humiliated you. Brainwashed you. Wound you up like a tin soldier and let you loose on Earth. ''Cry me a river.'' On the outside chance that this isn't one of his schemes, we have to take action. So, I suggest you ''get over it.''

--->'''Professor Chang:''' Ah... the [[SarcasmMode ''goooood'' little boy who]] [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame likes dangerous toys.]]

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. They'd be ''so'' proud of you."]] ]]

Mom and Dad?"]] ]]

* ''WesternAnimation/X-MenEvolution'': 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.

** When M'gann apparently kills Mister Twist's pilot the team freaks out before the pilot is revealed to be a non-sentient robot.

--->'''Starfire:''' Whoever Slade is, you are...[[NotSoDifferent similar]]. Slade did not trust you, and you did not trust us.

--->'''Professor Chang:''' Ah... It's the [[SarcasmMode ''goooood'' little boy who]] [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame likes to play with dangerous toys.]]
