Oh Crap/Western Animation



""... mother.""
 * Looney Tunes examples:
 * This is Wile E. Coyote's standard expression whenever he realizes his plans are about to backfire yet again, which is about every thirty seconds or so. Often accompanied by a Sign bearing a very redundant "Uh-Oh" or similar. Perhaps his foe the Road Runner's single display of personality was performing one of these when Wile makes a genuinely intimidating scheme in "The Solid Tin Coyote".
 * Likewise, Daffy Duck has his "Oh, no, not again" moments, or alternatively:

{{quote|Sam: So long, sucker!  Ah, ha, hah, hah, hah! Ah, hah, hah, hah, hah! Ah, hah... (Notices he's about to land right in the middle of some angry police officers.} Ah huh... Uh uh... (Lands) Oooh!}} "Chucko: Hah! You think I'm scared? I'll be running this dump in a few ye-- (looks up; sees comet coming right at him) Aw, phooey."
 * Most Warner Brothers characters say that or "... mother." See: Sylvester the Cat and even Bugs Bunny.
 * In a lot of cartoons with Yosemite Sam, he thinks he has gotten the better of Bugs, only to realize he's in trouble, and goes from an Evil Gloating to an Evil Laugh and then to an Oh, Crap! rather quickly. For example, in "Hare Lift" when he parachutes out of the plane with his stolen money:
 * Even Bugs Bunny had a couple of moments like this; once in a Mad Scientist Laboratory when he sees the Hyde-like monster behind him, and again when he accidentally takes off in a rocket and looks down to see the Earth falling away below him...
 * Chuck Jones is clearly the undisputed master of the cartoon Oh Crap face.
 * You know Bugs is in serious trouble when his eyes widen and ears fall.
 * "Ach! A gremlin from the Kremlin!"
 * Generally, most 'Toons get this look right before gravity takes a hold of them.
 * Watch Shan Yu's face when he realises what Mulan's seemingly mis-aimed firework has done. Then watch him scream in bloody fury
 * The DCAU is fond of the "Oh, no" variant, and manages to keep it consistently funny, at that. The greatest example possibly comes in Justice League Unlimited, when the time-traveling villain Chronos sends one of the Jokerz back to the time of the dinosaurs for betraying him:

"Kalibak: I just flattened Wonder Woman! You really think you can beat me? Batman: I'm not trying to beat you. I'm trying to stall you. Kalibak: Stall me? For what? (turns to see Superman behind him) Aw-- (punched in the face)"
 * Also, from "Hereafter":

"Circe: Insolent trickster! You dare to strike... (smacked with a table) You dare to strike... (smacked with a chair) You dare to strike... (covered in a tablecloth, yanks it off) QUIT IT! Oh, no... (hit by a piano)"
 * At the very end of "Secret Society", we are treated to a gorilla's Oh Crap face after Grodd attempts to use his psychic attack on Superman, who manages to resist enough to flick Grodd in the nose, sending him flying. A little earlier, Shade had one on as Superman, in the blink of an eye, interposed between his fist and Batman.
 * There's a pretty priceless one early on when Lex Luthor is informed that while humans are mostly unaffected by Kryptonite, studies have shown that it can cause blood poisoning in terrestrial life if the subject is exposed for a long period of time. Lex happens to carry some around in his pocket.
 * Luthor tops himself in the episode "Alive!", part 1 of the series finale. His change of expression from exultant triumph to shock and horror when is just epic.
 * At the end of the episode "This Little Piggy", when Zatanna is magically tossing things at Circe:

"Batman: She's a good friend, a trusted colleague. She's... (Lantern gives him a look; Batman notices) Batman: (eyes slightly wide) ...she's standing Right Behind Me, isn't she? Wonder Woman: Oh, don't let that stop you; please, keep digging."
 * A brief one from the first part of the above-mentioned Chronos episode: Green Lantern and Batman are sitting in the cafeteria discussing their respective love lives; Batman is explaining that Wonder Woman is not his girlfriend.

"Vixen: Anyone got a plan? Hawkgirl: Yeah. Try to stay alive. Huntress: Anybody got a good plan?"
 * From the JLU episode Grudge Match. Hawkgirl, Vixen, Black Canary and Huntress, four of the toughest women in the League, have just shrugged off the mind control forcing them to fight each other. They stand ready to face the villain...who brings out a mind-controlled Wonder Woman. Four to one odds and they're still in big trouble.

"Superman: So this boy she likes -- does he have a name? Green Lantern and Green Arrow: (Priceless facial expression, then fade to black.)"
 * This one takes most of the episode "Far From Home" to set up. Supergirl, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern are abducted to the 31th Century by Brainiac 5, who is nearly clobbered by Supergirl before he can explain that he's a good guy, unlike that OTHER Brainiac. The two eventually hit it off. In the last scene, GA and GL are back in the present, and show Superman a farewell video from Supergirl: she's staying in the future because it's more like her lost home, and "Also, I met this guy...." It's a heartwarming moment as Superman realizes that although this is the best for her, he may never see his young cousin again.Then, smirking a little, he turns to the heroes:

"Joker: See, Batsy, I think of everything! Hahahahahahaha-- AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
 * And one from Batman: The Animated Series, in "The Laughing Fish": The Joker jumps into the ocean, completely forgetting about the shark that had recently been released

"Harley: (Weakly) Heh, heh... good call. Help!"
 * Another one in the episode "Almost Got 'im". Several villains have been sitting around playing poker and sharing stories about how they almost killed Batman, but failed. The Joker's story ends with him successfully capturing Catwoman and he reveals her location, and that he's about to head off and finish her. Then Killer Croc says "I don't think so" in Batman's voice, and the Joker's expression in the split second before he's thrown across the room is priceless.
 * Harley Quinn gets one in the same episode; guarding the Death Trap that Catwoman has been placed into when Batman comes calling, when Batman captures her Harley smugly gloats that he can either beat her up or save Catwoman, and can't do both. Unfortunately for her, she's neglected to consider the large circuit breaker the two are standing beside, and when he just shuts the power off her expression and reaction is even more priceless:

"Harvey: There's just one problem. Rupert Thorne: What? Harvey: You're talking to the wrong Harvey."
 * And in "Joker's Favor," regular Gothamite Charlie Collins is driving home after a miserable day at work when some jerk cuts him off on the freeway. Charlie pulls alongside the other driver, rolls down his window, and proceeds to cuss and threaten the other driver... until said driver turns and gives him a BIGGGG smile. Charlie's face is pretty much distilled Oh Crap at that point.
 * Charlie returns the favor by trapping the Joker in an alley with a bomb. Joker is absolutely terrified, thinking he's actually going to die, and cries out for Batman to save him.
 * Don't forget "Fear of Victory," when a bookie's henchman is sent to find out why "Mr. Lucky" never loses, no matter how many bets he places. The henchman follows Lucky to an abandoned horse stall, threatens him, and goes to pull him out of the shadows... only to find out he has just collared the Scarecrow. Things go downhill from there.
 * And of course there's also "Two-Face, Part 1," when Big Bad Harv takes control over Harvey Dent:

"Imperiex:"
 * The scene from the episode of Static Shock where the Joker shows up to cause trouble in Static's neck of the woods. At the end he's been defeated and tries his famous joybuzzer trick on Batman, but Static grabs his hand instead. I love the Oh Crap look he gets when not only was his joybuzzer ineffective, but Static decides to return the favor in his own way. The Joker was very shocked by that turn of events.
 * In Legion of Super-Heroes, when Imperiex realises that by


 * That Dark Circle guy's face when he is classic.
 * Both main characters of Invader Zim have been on the receiving end on this trope on several occasions, the most obvious example being when Dib sees the massive water balloon about to crush the city (and him) in "The Wettening". Even secondary characters aren't immune, with the Tallests (along with their entire crew) displaying classic Oh Crap expressions as their ship, being controlled by Zim, is about to crash into a sun.
 * During the finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender, goes into serious Oh Crap mode when . The asskicking that ensues is nothing less than epic, and starts with.
 * gets a somewhat more subdued Oh Crap expression earlier in the same fight, when
 * Jet gets a slow-motion zoom-in shot of this nature when.
 * This is Aang's reaction when he just barely manages to save himself from getting skewered with a throwing star in his first battle with Mai.
 * Sokka also gets several, one notable example of which is his expression in Episode 2, when the Fire Nation boat is about to mow him down.
 * The look on Zuko's face when he realizes that his sister is about to wipe the floor with him at the start of Book 2 really says it all.
 * Also in the Book 1 episode The Storm. During a flashback, younger Zuko does this when he realizes that his own father is about to burn the royal crap out of him.
 * Actually, Zuko gets a lot of these... practically once an episode during Book 1.
 * One particularly epic one came in chapter 18 when Zhao . Zuko instantly realizes that Zhao just put two and two together and the look on his face just screams this trope.
 * In the Day Of Black Sun, we get a close-up of Aang's face panning out to reveal an equally shocked Sokka.
 * The characters and viewers get one towards the end of that two-parter with the reveal not only that the Mechanist's air balloon had been mass-produced by the Fire Nation, but that they'd gone and invented airships.
 * Zhao  That is all.
 * A little bit before then, Zhao realizes he's in deep shit when, and Iroh retaliates.
 * Azula herself gets one in the Grand Finale... when
 * Katara gets one of these towards the end of Season 2, when she discovers Zuko in Ba Sing Se, goes to the palace to report him, and  Not your lucky day, Katara.
 * After taking down a bunch of Fire Navy ships at the North Pole, Aang looks out a bit farther to sea and realizes he still has a few hundred left to go...
 * Really, we have a couple of these in every single episode. Someone should go through, watch the whole series again, and make a whole another page for it. Any volunteers?
 * Sure, this troper can get on it. This show kinda needs one.
 * Crowning one goes to the opening of season 2, where Azula and her elite guard almost tricked Zuko and Iroh onto the Fire Nation boat. When the captain uttered "we're taking the prisoners home", not only does he get an Oh Crap face, but so does Azula, Iroh and Zuko. 4 for the price of 1!
 * Iroh doesn't really give an Oh Crap face as he suspected this kind of treachery. His face was more of a "Time to kick ass" face.
 * And Azula's wasn't really an Oh Crap face either. It was more of a "you idiot!" face, as she was looking directly at the captain.
 * The Earthbender general in "The Avatar State" gets one when he realizes that Aang in the Avatar State is not too happy with him.
 * One more for Azula (as the show's resident Magnificent Bastard, she doesn't get too many herself), during the season two finale when Aang collapses the rock formation she's clinging to. Particularly notable as the only time we ever hear her gasp in fear.
 * gets two moments in The Puppetmaster; once when Katara breaks free from her control, and again just before Katara floors her with a powerful waterbending attack.
 * From the first season, the episode that introduces Hei Bai has two, both involving Roku's dragon. The first, of course, is when Aang sees the dragon heading towards him, and realizes that he can't bend in the Spirit World, and the second is when the dragon banks up and flies towards the ceiling in Roku's temple. Seeing that the dragon never did intend to hurt him, though, each of these instances would probably count more as a subversion.
 * Oh man, when Avatar Roku manifests before the traitorous fire Temple Sages, he ain't happy about the way they've been treating his reincarnated self. The poor sages don't even stop to think, no - they just shit their pants and RUN.
 * The Legend of Korra is shaping up to have just as many of these moments as its predecessor. For example, in "Welcome to Republic City", three mob members try to attack Korra. When she effortlessly redirects a water bending attack and freezes the guy's face, his expression becomes stuck as this. By the end, with Korra besting them with three elements, that's all they can express.
 * In the second episode, Korra participates in a pro-bending tournament. Tenzin hears about this, and comes to retrieve her. Korra gets knocked off the platform during the tournament, and as she swims to the edge, Tenzin is standing not five feet from where she pulls herself up. She tries brushing it off casually, with only slight amounts of success.
 * In "When Extremes Meet", this is Korra's priceless reaction to Ikki revealing to Asami, Mako's girlfriend, that Korra loves Mako
 * In the same episode, Korra gives one when she realizes and in the next episode Tarrlok gets one when
 * Transformers Animated:
 * The look of pure abject horror on Optimus Prime's face when the restored Megatron (whom he'd thought dead since the first episode) bursts out of Sumdac Tower is priceless. This is a 'bot who understands exactly how completely and utterly screwed he is.
 * The Elite Guard get a big one when, after insisting for the entire episode that there are no Decepticons on Earth, they face off with Starscream, who is more than willing to show the lot of them a taste of what Optimus has been up against.
 * Ultra Magnus has a pretty good one. After telling the Autobots to stand back, he presumably intended to deal with the situation. As soon as he turns around, Starscream has recovered and is pointing his weapons right in Magnus's face. *blast!*
 * He just couldn't deal with that now.
 * The Decepticons get their own when the Autobot ship transforms.
 * And again in

"Owen: Oh crap oh crap oh crap! (the bear puts Owen's head in its mouth, still sleeping) Owen: (whispering) Oh crap... (the bear wakes up) Crap infinity..."
 * Also from the 80s movie. Galvatron's expression when Unicron begins to transform is about the purest expression of this trope as I've ever seen.
 * Happened to Butt-head in Beavis and Butthead's Butt-O-Ween special. But, being Butt-head, his facial expression remains static, and his reaction amounts to "Uhh, uh-oh."
 * Done often in Total Drama Island. For example, when Owen has to get a key from a sleeping bear:

"Inventor: If she's wearing Moodulator #1, then where is the second one? Drakken: The second one?... Uh-oh..."
 * Also done whenever the season's Magnificent Bastard thinks that he/she is about to be voted off.
 * In the end of Kim Possible -- Sitch In Time we don't see Shego's face while she is witnessing Ron's sudden Crowning Moment Of Awesome, but the fact that she actually begins to flee from him tells a great deal.
 * Drakken also has an "Oh, crap!" moment when he realizes Shego must also be wearing a Moodulator like Kim, which he just locked into "an irreversible frenzy of rage":

"Buck: Oh hell, this ain't gonna be good."
 * And Ron had one shortly before, after the inventor informed him that Kim was now locked in an "irreversible frenzy of rage...so I hope she's not mad at anyone." Ron had just given her the 'let's just be friends' talk.
 * When gloating about having defeated Kim, Drakken looks up from his knees to see... one very pissed off Kim. So scared is he that he only reacts after she punches him across the room.
 * And Kim's not invulnerable either. She has this reaction upon meeting Oliver, the 7 foot tall by 4 foot broad boyfriend of Vivian.
 * "Oh snap."
 * Buck Strickland's immediate reaction in King of the Hill to Peggy bursting into the bar he's holed up in after driving Hank to embarrass himself out of a job.

"Grandfather: Not even a... (looks up) gi-huge-ic flaming moonbase? (cue Oh Crap face)"
 * Towards the end of The Movie of Codename: Kids Next Door, the Big Bad is bragging about how nothing can stop him.

"Banker: Sorry, I'm not allowed to divulge information about that customer's secret illegal account. (hangs up) ... Oh Crap, I shouldn't have said it was a customer. Oh Crap! I shouldn't have said it was a secret. Oh Crap! I certainly shouldn't have said it was illegal!... Oh, it's too hot today."
 * Of course, it turns out he was right but it still counts.
 * Darkwing Duck: This reaction usually followed the mighty midnight mallard's confident heroic banter right before he got pummeled. It never lasts long; in mere seconds, he's back to scheming and scrambling for the means to thwart evil.
 * In The Simpsons, where Krusty gets arrested for tax evasion, we see one side of a telephone conversation with his banker in the Cayman Islands.

"Comic Book Guy: But Aquaman, you can't marry a woman without gills! You're from two different worlds! (looks up and sees missile) ... Oh, I've wasted my life."
 * In a "Treehouse of Horror" spoof of the Omega Man, Comic Book Guy does this as a nuclear missile hits him dead on in the face.

"Skinner: Surely you realized that by writing your own name in forty-foot letters that you would be be caught. Bart: Maybe it was one of the other Barts, sir. Skinner: THERE ARE NO OTHER BARTS!!! Bart: Uh oh."
 * Pretty much every time Homer says "D'oh!", it could be translated as "Oh Crap".
 * Most of the time, it's just a stand in for damn it.
 * Troy McClure gets a literal "Oh Crap" moment when, during an infomercial for Dr. Nick's Juice Loosener, he tries on Dr Nick's Tanning Cream/Laxative.
 * Bart Simpson has one of these moments after he burns his name into forty-foot long letters on Springfield Elementary School's athletic field with grass killer. An enraged Principal Skinner roars Bart's name after seeing it, and Bart gulps both audibly and nervously. He then has another moment when Skinner is yelling at him in his office:

"Rocko: (monotonic, unenthusiastic) Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby... Mrs. Bighead: ... Rocko? Rocko: ... Mrs. Bighead?! (both slam the receivers down on their respective phones)"
 * Near the end of "Marge vs. The Monorail", Smug Snake Lyle Lanly loses his smug expression and freaks out when he realizes that his plane to Tahiti is making a stop at North Haverbrook, the last town he ruined with his monorail scam. His panic is justified -- moments after the plane lands, an angry mob of North Haberbrook's remaining inhabitants attacks it.
 * In "Marge in Chains", Otto sunbathing on a rooftop, just as he realizes he's about to be hit by a dollop of vomit infected with the dreaded Osaka Flu falling from Arnie Pie's helicopter. Shown from the perspective of said dollop.
 * "And now a word from our new sponsor...PERCODAN?!? AW CRAP!"
 * All Good Guys present in Realix (and quite some fans too) had this reaction when Bloom ignored Sky and continued to give Darkar the Ultimate Power.
 * Megabyte from ReBoot is not only a stoic and sophisticated Chessmaster and master manipulator, but also the most physically-powerful program in Mainframe. His memories of Enzo Matrix are of a brash, overconfident, hyperactive little boy. So when the now grown up Future Badass calling himself Matrix falls for his goading, tries to beat him up personally, lands one, and leaves a fist-sized dent in his chest... it's one of the best facial expressions in the series.
 * Later that same episode,  His reaction when his last gambit fails says it all.
 * Played for raucous laughs in an episode of Rocko's Modern Life. One of his new jobs in a long string of job hunting results is him working at what is for all intents and purposes a phone sex setup (this series got a lot under the radar). Of course, when he and the person on the other line recognize one another's voices...

"Leonardo: He's back.... The... Shredder... (passes out)"
 * The Earthworm Jim cartoon gave many of these moments to its villains, particularly to Psycrow, as in: "...You're gonna hit me really hard now, aren'cha?" But special mention has to go to the Oh Crap moment they work in to a musical number.
 * Used by heroes and villains alike at various points in Barbie and the Diamond Castle, but Vain Sorceress Lydia ends up with one of these looks permanently etched on her face when she's turned to stone.
 * It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it, but Slade of Teen Titans got a really good one in the episode "The Prophecy". Particularly sweet, because up until that point, Slade had been the stoic, quiet, chessmaster villain. Then Raven shows up and gives him a good old-fashioned ass kicking.
 * Of course, Slade himself tends to generate these moments too, especially during Season 4 The Titans got a collective Oh Crap look when they first saw him.
 * Slade also gets a very quick one in "Betrayal" after he shoots Beast Boy. When he looks up after briefly taunting Terra, he briefly goes (one-) wide-eyed to find himself facing one very ticked off giant green bear.
 * Doctor Light gets a classic one. After gloating and preparing to make his getaway, Raven shows up behind him, in full scare the crap out of you mode, with that immortal line "Remember me?" Light's face goes white, and he calmly asks to go to jail.
 * Several times during the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, especially involving The Shredder.
 * One of the biggest ones is when Leonardo is sent crashing through the window of April's apartment, nearly dead. In rage, Raphael is about to leave to find out who was responsible and make them pay, when Leonardo struggles to talk and stops him from leaving. His last words before losing consciousness??

"Terrorsaur: Blast those Maximals! They destroyed my power! But at least I got rid of Megatron. Megatron: Well, well, look... who's... back! Terrorsaur: (tiny voice) Help!"
 * The look of fear and shock on everyone's faces afterwards is amazingly effective.
 * Beast Wars, "Power Surge": Terrorsaur has lost his stash of Super Empowering energon and made his way back to the Predacon base:

"Nathan Explosion: (with requisite expression) Oh shi-- we nearly died!"
 * Metalocalypse, "DethHealth": Nathan Explosion gets one of these in this episode. The usual mayhem goes down at a Dethklok show, with much of the debris nearly missing crushing the band:

"(Both read the industrial glue Never Comes Unstuck) Brian: Oh... Stewie: Crap."
 * The guys' reactions when Offdensen angrily confronts them about booking a gig in Syria definitely qualifies. Considering that it's the closest Offdensen has ever gotten to completely losing his composure, even some of the fans had Oh Crap reactions to it.
 * In Futurama, one of Bender's more common expressions is "I'm/We're boned!", for more or less these kinds of situations. He gets himself into trouble a lot. Another Catch Phrase of his is "Cheese it!", also for these kinds of situations.
 * The Samurai Known As Jack spends a good portion of episode 2 like this, having been flung into the dystopian future where he's falling between skyscrapers and getting hit by flying cars and nothing makes seeeeense. Poor guy.
 * Aku gets an absolutely hilarious one when Jack's sword doesn't harm Jack.
 * His flaming eyebrows snuff out!
 * The Penguins of Madagascar are no strangers to this facial expression. They even get one during the opening sequence.
 * Lucius on Jimmy Two-Shoes gets a particularly good one when he sees an embarrassing old home movie playing for all of Miseryville to see.
 * He gets a great blink-and-you'll-miss-it Oh Crap face in "There Will Be Snow" when Sammy flattens him while wearing a giant mechanical suit.
 * The characters of Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy got three in quick succession in the last ten minutes of the Grand Finale Movie:
 * Dr. Venture of The Venture Brothers pretty much whenever he screws up or pisses someone off.
 * Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: The other three Rangers have busted into the Queen's Asteroid Palace (which they've done before) to rescue their captain. Around the corner comes a Slaverlord, a high-end class of Mook they've shot down dozens of times before...Guns up, they're about to open fire. The Slaverlord's form then takes on Zach's form and they realize they didn't get there in time.
 * Another good one was in "Aces and Apes." The Rangers are chasing Lazarus Slade, who is a marginally competent member of their Rogues Gallery...but then they see that Slade has a partner. Said partner is The Scarecrow, arguably their nastiest opponent.
 * On Drawn Together, Xainder has these a lot, more often than not due to Captain Hero.
 * D-list bad guy the Mandrill gets a great example of this during the beginning of episode 3 of Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes. After robbing a bank he is confronted by...the Wasp. He's less than impressed. Then Iron Man shows up. Still confident. Then Thor, Giant-Man, and the Hulk show up. His spectacular oh crap face is followed by a wise choice to surrender.
 * Another great example comes when the Avengers must stop Kang from taking over New York. When Hawkeye and Hulk encounter some of Kang's robots on a bridge, Hawkeye tells the Hulk to go rest while he fights them solo. The robots then, leaving Hawkeye shocked.
 * Five Avengers react like this after Ultron's beam apparently causes.
 * Count Duckula has one of these at the start of each episode in the Expository Theme Tune. Igor really should have checked the label first...
 * In G.I. Joe: Renegades James McCullen, after trying to play hardball with Cobra Industries, gets an epic one after Adam DeCobrey reveals his true identity as Cobra Commander.
 * And in an earlier one, Scrap-Iron gets an awesome one in slow-motion when a mech-suit equipped, Unstoppable Rage-fueled  sends a missile he fired right back at him.
 * Thomas the Tank Engine uses this a lot. Each engine model has a scared face that's absolutely perfect for this. Commonly seen when an engine's train becomes a runaway. A good one would be in "Old Iron". James is cruising along light engine (due to some naughty boys climbing into his cab and playing with his controls), enjoying himself. Then he notices he's going faster and faster, and realizes his cab is empty. "What shall I do? I can't stop! HELP! HELP!"
 * Diesel 10's arrival and some of his actions in The Movie produce this reaction as well as This Is Gonna Suck.
 * Dan Phantom gets one in the Danny Phantom episode "The Ultimate Enemy", when he's sent flying into a petrol tanker.
 * In the Ben 10 episode "Ben 10,000 Returns", when
 * In the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers episode "Seer No Evil", Monterrey Jack has one when he realizes that he, Gadget, and Dale are in a trunk, which is the last of the fortune teller's predictions that ends with Chip's death.
 * Family Guy episode "Stuck Together, Torn Apart",. Brian and Stewie share this moment after getting their hands stuck together:

"Meg: What did he give you? Peter: Oh you haven't heard? Stewie: CRAAAAAAAAAAP!!!"
 * Also uttered by Peter when realizing that he is to fight Ernie the Giant Chicken for the third time.
 * Brian and Stewie when they find out the present Jesus gave Peter was.

"Stinky Pete: Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, OH CRAP ON A CRAP CRACKER!!"
 * Invoked numerous times on Sealab 2021, but especially notable during Quinn's Mushroom Samba episode with the seal,Stinky Pete, being chased by a shark.

"Agent Kallus: All troopers! Focus your fire on... (gulps) ... on the Jedi."
 * Used repeatedly by the Urpneys (especially Frizz) in The Dreamstone, usually when a plan goes horribly wrong or Zordrak goes into one of his epic tantrums as a result.
 * Played with in the episode "Electric Eggs", after the Urpneys bump into Rufus and Amberley, expecting the worst, only for the latter to perform this trope as well and run for it.
 * Flint has this look in the G.I. Joe episode "The Gamesmaster" when the Gamesmaster stands up from his chair and is revealed to be over ten feet tall.
 * In the Mickey Mouse short The Pointer, when Mickey turns around and realizes that whom he thought was Pluto is actually a bear. While looking right into the bear's jaw.
 * In Jumanji the Animated Series Ibsen has quite a few of these, his response is often a small, weak "Oh dear" or some variation.
 * In Gargoyles, The normally unflappable Owen gets one when Anastasia Reynard says that she's remarried her first husband. Why this is is a mystery until both their true natures have been brought to light.
 * In South Park episode 6x11, the owner of the city wok does this absolutely according to the book: He gives a big speech, realises something's wrong, sees the fuse, follows it with his eyes, says "Oh Crap" and gets blown away, together with part of his wall.
 * In South Park episode 6x11, the owner of the city wok does this absolutely according to the book: He gives a big speech, realises something's wrong, sees the fuse, follows it with his eyes, says "Oh Crap" and gets blown away, together with part of his wall.
 * In episode 22 of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic "A Bird in the Hoof", Twilight's expression when she sees Princess Celestia's royal guards at Fluttershy's doorstep after Fluttershy kidnapped Celestia's pet bird Philemena is a perfect example of this. Earlier in "Dragonshy" everypony reacted this way when they realized just how big and angry a full-grown dragon gets when somepony interrupts his nap.
 * In part 2 of "The Return of Harmony", barely has time to let out a Big No as
 * At the end of the second Season Finale,
 * In the pilot episode of Star Wars:Rebels, ISB Agent Kallus has the titular small rag-tag band of Rebels pinned down by his detachment of stormtroopers as they're trying to rescue some Wookie slaves. Their escape ship is being driven off by TIE fighters, they're surrounded and pinned down, and they've got nowhere to go. Kallus starts smiling as Kanan deliberately leaves cover to walk straight into the fire of a dozen blasters, apparently trying to commit suicide by stormtrooper... and stops smiling as he realizes that somehow, Kanan is dodging every blaster bolt that comes at him. And then Kanan ignites his lightsaber. The heretofore absolutely unflappable Kallus immediate takes a step back in fear and stutters, and his expression is priceless.


 * And given a wonderful call back in the season 2 opener, when the entire Rebel team finds out who the latest Imperial operative sent out to capture them is. Specifically, that it's Darth Vader. But the real Oh Crap moment doesn't come until after they've already had the tar beaten out of them in a very short and one-sided fight, that is interrupted when Sabine uses a demolition charge to drop an entire AT-ST walker on top of Vader. Just as they're sighing in relief... the flaming wreckage of the scout walker suddenly lurches upward, to reveal that Vader has been levitating the entire mass using the Force, that it never even touched him, and that now he's pissed. As the red lightsaber re-ignites our heroes immediately turn and flee in abject terror, and who can blame them?


 * Back to
