"YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo!" moments in WesternAnimation.
----
* A variation of this happens in the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' episode “Homecoming”. Rose, who was earlier revealed to have been kidnapped at birth by The Huntsman, is then blackmailed by him into betraying Jake by stealing the last three crystal skulls, with the promise of the location (and safety) of her birth parents.
-->'''The Huntsman:''' Excellent work, Huntsgirl.\\
'''Rose:''' I gave you your skulls, now tell me where my parents are!\\
'''The Huntsman:''' Not until my plan is complete.\\
'''Rose:''' ''What?'' But you ''promised''!\\
'''The Huntsman:''' And ''you'' promised your allegiance!
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': In "Reunion", Captain Grime's forces surround the Frogs. He suggests the Frogs' champion, Anne, duel his champion, Sasha. If Anne wins, they will go free. When Anne wins, Grime immediately reneges and orders his forces to attack.
* From the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "Ascension":
-->'''Batman''': "Enough. Turn it off. That thing's gonna kill him."\\
'''Paxton Powers''': "You want this as much as I do."\\
'''Batman''': "No. I wouldn't have agreed to this. You said you were gonna help him."\\
'''Paxton Powers''': "ILied."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10 Ultimate Alien}}'' has the episode "Simian Says" in which Mizaru mutates the entire Arachnachimmian species into [=DNAliens=] (courtesy of Simian accidentally infecting Muzaru with a Xenocyte). He captures a remaining unaffected family to force Ben and his friends out of hiding. Ben and company reveal themselves in the process, but Mizaru transforms the remaining family into [=DNAliens=] anyway.
-->'''Ben:''' We had a deal!\\
'''Mizaru:''' What possible reason would I have to keeping a bargain with you, Ben Tennyson?
** Another example, Aggregor promises to spare Galapagos if he betrays his fellow escaped prisoners by leading them into a trap, only to [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves betray him afterwards.]] However, Galapagos had [[GenreSavvy fully anticipated this]] and was [[BatmanGambit plotting against Aggregor all along.]]
--->'''Galapagos:''' You promised to release me if I helped you capture the others.\\
'''Aggregor:''' [[ILied I lied.]]\\
'''Galapagos:''' What a coincidence. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner I lied too.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', "Reality Trip": Freakshow takes the ThreeAmigos' families hostage to blackmail them into bringing him three powerful {{Mineral MacGuffin}}s. Not only does Freakshow seize them before Danny has a chance to use them to doublecross him, but he doublecrosses them.
-->'''Danny''': We had a deal!\\
'''Freakshow''': [[ExactWords The deal was]], "[[FalseReassurance if you want to see your parents alive again]]." Well, here they are, alive... ''for now!''
* In the origin story of ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}!'', Gutierrez promises to let Dexter Douglas's family go free if he's given the code that will allow him to become a "Freakazoid." When Roddy complies, Gutierrez thanks him and orders his guards to eliminate Roddy, Dexter, and the family. Roddy doesn't even get to say the whole phrase (But you said-) before Gutierrez cuts him off with "ILied."
* In the Season 1 finale of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', [[spoiler:a variation of this happens between Lilith and Emperor Belos, after the former has captured Eda, on the promise that Belos would heal Eda’s curse.

-->[[spoiler:'''Lilith:''' ''(nervously smiles)'' Taking her to the healing ceremony?\\
'''Emperor Belos:''' [[WhamLine I will not be healing her]].]]
-->'''Lilith:''' But you ''promised'' me...\\
'''Emperor Belos:''' Don’t be so naive, Lilith. This is the Titan’s will.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' starts with Morty asking Rick for the dragon he promised him, but Rick only said that to get Morty to come with him on another dangerous adventure, and has ''no'' interest in actually getting him a dragon. It isn't until Beth intervenes that Rick makes good on his promise.
* Used in the ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' episode, "Make Way For Miss Nettle", where Miss Nettle promises to free the fairies from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', whom she captured earlier, in exchange for Sofia handing over a powerful spellbook. As she's about to fly off with the book, Sofia reminds her to free the fairies.
-->'''Miss Nettle''': Oh no, I can't do that. If I let them out now, they'd just come after me.\\
'''Sofia''': But we had a deal!\\
'''Miss Nettle''': Oh, all right. I'll let them out of their bubble ''after'' I've learned every spell in their book and become the most powerful fairy in the world!
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground'' had Knuckles helping Dr. Robotnik to capture the hedgehogs, on the condition that he not roboticize them afterward. He's rather outraged when Robotnik goes back on his word.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "Fun With Veal", Cartman gets the job of negotiating with the FBI over the 23 stolen calves (which are treated exactly like a hostage situation). He offers the FBI negotiator one calf in return for weapons and ammunition. Stan and Kyle are uncertain about this, but when he gets them, he quickly finds a reason not to hand over any calves, and keeps bargaining for more.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosSuperShow'':
** From the episode "Pirates of Koopa":
-->'''Princess Toadstool:''' You said you wouldn't harm my friends if I came willingly!\\
'''King Koopa:''' Would Blackbeard Koopa lie? ''(winks at the camera)'' Besides, you didn't come willingly!
** In an earlier episode, "The Great Gladiator Gig", Koopa claimed that if Mario and Luigi defeat his champion, Tryclyde, they will go free. Unfortunately, after the Mario Bros. beat Tryclyde, Bowser then orders to have the lions released to eat the Mario Bros.
-->'''King Koopa:''' Bruteus, release the lions!\\
'''Princess Toadstool:''' But you promised!\\
'''King Koopa:''' One of the nicest things [[CardCarryingVillain about being evil is]], you get to lie a lot.
