Villainous Breakdown/Western Animation

"Lex: And they're all going to burn... BUUUUURN!!!"
 * President Lex Luthor seems to be suffering from one of these at the beginning of the Justice Lords arc in Justice League. As the alternate-dimension League close in on him, he's cryptically mumbling "They couldn't see the beauty! No imagination! It could have been so perfect!" We never learn exactly what Luthor was up to prior to this, but the way normally cool-headed Lex seems to be coming apart indicates it was an outcome he obviously didn't plan for.
 * It's hinted heavily that his actions involved trying to start some kind of Nuclear War. So yeah... he's pretty damn crazy by this point. Also,

"Azula: Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player."
 * Azula is one of the best examples of this trope. She becomes progressively more unhinged throughout the Grand Finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender, kicked off by . She really starts going nuts when, goes even farther when she fires her servants out of paranoia when she thinks they are plotting against her and , and climaxes after . Her last scene . Word of God has stated that.
 * Ozai himself undergoes this. At the start of his battle with Aang, he's smug and confident. But after Aang finally achieves the Avatar State and proceeds to kick his ass all over the place, Ozai is visibly terrified and tries to FLEE. After, Ozai is simply a wretched shell who speaks in a monotone, "don't give a shit about life anymore" voice.
 * Before Azula, Long Feng was a relatively Dangerously Genre Savvy Manipulative Bastard who had the Earth King and Kingdom mostly under his thumb. After Azula crushes him via a Hannibal Lecture/"The Reason You Suck" Speech stating that power is BORN, not EARNED, the once proud Evil Chancellor collapses to his knees and dejectedly declares, "You have beaten me at my own game."

""It's impossible, I tell you! Impossible! My trap was perfect! How did he do it? I must know! SOMEBODY TELL ME! IT'S NOT FAIR! THERE WAS NO WAY, I TELL YOU, NO WAY HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT! SOMEBODY TELL ME! DO YOU HEAR ME?! SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW HE DID IT! I HAVE TO KNOW! I HAVE TO KNOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!""
 * Aku, the evil shapeshifting demon/wizard, does this in episode 13 of Samurai Jack in which he tries to convince the children of the world that Jack is the true villain and Aku is actually a hero. He does this through telling modified Fairy Tale where Jack is the bad guy. After being interrupted and contradicted a bunch of times during the fairytales by some terrified witless children, he starts to completely mix up fairy tales in increasingly hysterical, convoluted (and incredibly hilarious) ways. Finally, it ends with him shouting "THE END!" and swirling away.
 * In The Spectacular Spider-Man, when the Master Planner's (alias ) master plan falls apart, and he is briefly overwhelmed by information to boot, his reaction is relatively subtle. Rather than visibly lose his composure, his voice becomes frighteningly quiet and deranged (if his eyes were visible, they would probably be bulging) as he does everything in his power to sentence Spider-Man to his doom.
 * Magnacat in Monster Allergy gets this after becoming bankrupt.
 * Moog Magister when he destroys the fair and the presents due to unable to get the monsters.
 * Batman: The Animated Series:
 * Riddler gets one after Batman escapes from what was supposed to be his last Death Trap, then tricks Riddler into revealing what he did without upholding his end of the deal of telling Riddler how he managed to escape, in essence ruining Riddler's already failed attempt at reform. The episode ends with him screaming wildly in his cell in Arkham:

"I HAVE TO HAVE IT! I HAVE TO! AAAAAAARRRRRGH! AAAAAAAAAH!"
 * The usually chillingly calm but unstable Two-Face has a complete mental breakdown at the end of his introductory two-parter when the coin he flips to make his decisions for him gets lost among a pile of other coins that Batman pours out. (This is also how Batman tricks Two-Face into falling to "a watery grave" in Batman Forever.)


 * Two-Face's split personality disorder eventually forces him to assume a 3rd personality as a vigilante who wishes to rid Gotham of all the corruption caused by his own alter ego. Eventually the two personalities forget they're one and the same and Two-Face, after being arrested, could be heard putting himself on trial in Arkham.

"Megatron: Lugnut! This field test has been a complete failure! Order the clones back to the moon! Lugnut: I am sorry, master. The clones' flight capabilities have been disabled-- Megatron: Then destroy the Autobots! Destroy the city! DESTROY ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ME!!!"
 * In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker,
 * leads Batman into a carnival funhouse. Once he's cornered her in its hall of mirrors, she is understandably startled and then bittersweetly distracted:
 * Batman: Mask of the Phantasm: The ending with the Joker laughing manically while in the clutches of the Phantasm as they slowly smoke-teleport away while everything burns around them.
 * Derek Powers has one spanning season 1 of Batman Beyond after he's turned into Blight... culminating in an enraged psychotic break that brings whole new meaning to "having a meltdown".
 * Danny Phantom
 * In the Season 2 finale, Vlad's most desperate plan to obtain Danny as his son has him building a perfect clone of him with plans to kill the original one after. As if that wasn't crazy in itself, everything was going great until Danny's Opposite Sex Clone does a Heel Face Turn (because Vlad threw off a Rant-Inducing Slight) and teams up with the hero to destroy the clone lab, including the perfect clone. Vlad, once calm and preserved, goes insane, delivers a very emotional Big No, and was downright close to murdering everyone if not for a timely rescue by Danny's friends. It's permanent. Oh so painfully permanent. In season 3 it's shown that Vlad's attitude towards Danny has drastically changed. Vlad used to think that of Danny as a son who needed to be convinced into joining him. After that breakdown, Danny became an all-out enemy, and Vlad wanted nothing more than to destroy him and see him suffer.
 * In his 2nd appearance in the series' 3rd tv movie, the evil ringmaster Freakshow suffered from one when Danny played on his jealousy of ghosts, resulting in him using the powerful Reality Gauntlet to become a ghost himself, which is exactly what Danny wanted so he could use the Fenton Thermos to trap him and save the world.
 * Dark Danny, the jerky, evil version of Danny from a Bad Future, who was usually calm and confident that nothing could prevent the incident that resulted in his existence. However, he received a powerful shock (in more ways than one) when Danny's will to Screw Destiny resulted in him developing one of his strongest powers ten years earlier than in Dark Danny's future.
 * Sykes in Disney's Oliver and Company. While he's mainly calm throughout the movie, in the climactic car chase he pulls down the gear stick so hard it breaks off, and punches his hand through his car's window to get at the heroine.
 * Henry Peter Gyrich of X-Men was always a little unhinged, but after years of being on the losing end of an on-and-off conflict with Professor Xavier, topped off by weeks of (offscreen) struggling with him to ratify the latest anti-mutant bill, he finally cracks in the last episode. This turns out to be the "dangerous" version, as in the space of a minute, he throws his whole reputation out the window to make things go very, very bad.
 * This was deliberately induced in Graydon Creed. Throughout Season 2, he's a Smug Snake bigot, leader of KKK expy "The Friends of Humanity" and displays no emotions beside contempt... until Wolverine shows up and recognizes Creed as the son of Sabretooth. Confronted by an image of his abusive father, Graydon falls to his knees, screaming and weeping about how he's "not like him" and how he's "normal" before grabbing a gun and shooting the hologram, even though he knows it isn't real, howling that it isn't his father. Let's not even think about what Creed endured with Sabretooth as his dad, to provoke such a strong reaction.
 * "YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER! YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!!"
 * In his last appearance in the series, he's lost it, and his fellow FoH members are tired of his failures. They offer him one last chance to redeem himself by . When he messes that up, they punish him by leaving him at Sabretooth's doorstep. The last that is heard of Graydon Creed in the series is his pitiful whimpering as his father grabs him and says "Come to papa..."
 * From the song "Hellfire" and onward, Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame has an extended one, culminating when Quasimodo defies him and rescues Esmerelda.
 * Megatron from Transformers Animated is probably the most Dangerously Genre Savvy incarnation yet. He's manipulative, charismatic, and utterly Badass. But in the series finale "Endgame" he loses his cool when his "ultimate weapons", the "Lugnut" Supremes, are damaged and lose their flight capabilities, thus stuck on Earth.

"Gaston: I'll have Belle for my wife!! Make no mistake about that!"
 * The Megatron of Transformers Armada has the "catatonia" kind of breakdown after Optimus Prime's death. Without a Worthy Opponent to challenge him, he's so despondent that he can hardly be bothered to do anything anymore.
 * In the miniseries G.I. Joe: Resolute, Cobra Commander is a little... "off" to start with, but by the end of the series, he hacks a roomful of his own men apart and paints a cobra symbol on the wall in blood because one guy had the nerve to tell him that the death ray was not fully charged at the time.
 * South Park
 * The guy-with-no-life Jenkins in "Make Love, Not Warcraft" does the "shutting down" version when his character is finally killed in World of Warcraft. We don't get to see what he does after those first few seconds, as he's only ever shown in-game and in brief flashes sitting in front of his computer, almost reacting to what happens there. Being defeated makes him... flinch.
 * When Cartman learns that he murdered his own father he simply stares in empty shock and doesn't even resist when Scott rams his head into a chili bowl. It being Cartman, the cause of his BSOD is
 * In "Cartmanland", Cartman starts going downhill when he has to keep letting more and more people into the park he bought with his inheritance money in order to hire the people he needs to keep it going, eventually just selling it back to the original owner. Then, officials take the money he made due to tax evasion and a lawsuit from when Kenny died earlier on, and it's revealed that he owes several thousand dollars more and the original owner refuses to sell the park back to him, leading him to break down in tears and a litany of swearing. Also, in "Human Centipad", when Cartman didn't get his way, he blamed God, who struck him with a bolt of lightning. Cartman ended up in the hospital, bandaged and crying.
 * In "Christian Rock Hard", Cartman learns that Christian record companies use different certifications for their sales, meaning that Cartman technically hasn't won his bet with Kyle by making a platinum-selling album. Cartman flies into a rage, smashes his band's myrrh album and screams blasphemous obscenities in front of a horrified crowd of Christian rock fans.
 * Butters AKA Professor Chaos has this in "The Simpsons Already Did It" where, after watching every Simpsons episode to make sure one of his plans won't be a ripoff of an episode and leaving to inact it, he hears a commercial of Bart doing the same thing. He then hallucinates of every place and person looking all like Simpsons characters. He gets better when he learns that the ideas the Simpsons used were used before the Simpsons too.
 * Exo Squad's Big Bad Phaeton loses it after he contracts automutation syndrome in the aftermath of a battle with J.T. Marsh. He becomes more enamored with doomsday weapon projects, abandons all subtlety, and resorts to grandiose speeches and rants as everything falls apart for the Commonwealth due to his increasingly irrational command decisions. One of the more justified examples since the automutation syndrome is gradually liquefying him. That can't be good for one's sanity.
 * Though it doesn't occur in the movie, the Broadway version of The Lion King has a Villain Song sung by Scar which is about him slowly going insane from paranoia and arrogance while being king. It's called The Madness Of King Scar.
 * Does nervously backing into a corner while frantically trying to explain to your former Mooks that are about to kill you that you didn't mean to pin all the blame on them count as a form of breakdown?
 * The original ending that was ultimately cut has him throw Simba off Pride Rock (though Simba survives) and Scar, after being revealed to everyone and losing everything, goes Laughing Mad, not even trying to escape as the fires around Pride Rock cover it and burn him to death.
 * At the start of The Venture Brothers season 4, Phantom Limb shows up utterly batshit crazy, with a "Revenge Society" consisting of a toaster, a coffee mug, and a black patent leather Ferragamo pump.
 * To top it all off The pump belonged to his ex, Dr. Girlfriend was was by then.
 * He gets better after, returning to his season two personality and style. He then starts staffing the Revenge Society with actual supervillains (and some D-list would-be fillers)
 * On My Life as a Teenage Robot, Vexus falls from power in The Movie. The next time she's seen, she's gone insane, planning to blow up the asteroid she's trapped on and escape in a ship made out of a coffee can.
 * Beauty and the Beast: Gaston increasingly goes from being a Jerkass Stalker with a Crush into a murderous Yandere through the course of the movie. It's especially evident after Belle keeps refusing him.

"Hades: This is... this is impossible! Pain and Panic: Hades: [flaming] EEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, AAAAAAAAAGH!!! HERCULES, STOP!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, YOU CAN'T-- [Herc punches his face inwards] Fine. Okay. [his face pops out again] Okay, well, maybe I deserved that."
 * In The Princess and the Frog, Dr. Facilier loses his cool a few times when it looks like his plans aren't going to pan out (and he won't be able to pay off his "debt" to his "Friends on the Other Side"). He loses it completely at the end of the film, when
 * Hilariously subverted in Disney's Hercules after :

"Plankton: (rips off his clothes, revealing a remote control underneath it) It's not worth it! It's just not worth it! (He then retains his sanity) Goodbye everyone, I'll remember you all in therapy! (pushes button and vanishes)"
 * On Jimmy Two-Shoes, Lucius loses his mind when he finds that . The episode ends with him in a padded cell. He's fine the next episode, however.
 * Fantastic Mr. Fox had Farmer Bean do this to a response to Fox's letter. He responds by trashing everything his office in front of his Farmer co-horts and then goes outside to smash more things before getting his next evil scheme.
 * In SpongeBob SquarePants, Squillium experiences this in Band Geeks. After setting Squidward up to fail for shits and giggles, seeing Squidward's band epicly succeed causes him to stare in empty shock before HAVING A HEART ATTACK. Never has a Smug Snake been more brutally taken down.
 * Has another in 'House Fancy', where Squidward's completely destroyed house is considered far fancier than his own and awarded several high honors for being 'artistic'. Squillium's response is to sink to the ground and lay there crying his eyes out.
 * What about Plankton? in the episode the Algae's Always Greener, he loses it when Mr. Krabs kept on saying "And the next day." His reaction?

"Argost: THAT...WAS...MY...MOMENT!"
 * And, in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie he has another one when SpongeBob began freeing the Bikini Bottomites from his mind control helmets. He has a rough time handling it and calls out to Karen to do something, and she was being carried by the crowd. He then commands for King Neptune to kill SpongeBob, but he too is freed from his mind control. He tries to make a run for it, but he is then ran over by the crowd, while he's screaming in agony.
 * While Nox in Wakfu was always pretty crazy, he snaps near the end of episode 26 after  After a Big No and angrily demanding answers from the Eliacube (which he actually believes can talk), Nox almost shuts down. His breakdown is reflected by the fate of his creations: bereft of the Eliacube's Wakfu, all of them shut down and fall apart. The ending credits of episode 26
 * The villainous monster in human clothing V.V Argost had one of these in the final episode of The Secret Saturdays where he makes a planetwide broadcast for the world to yield to him as his army of cryptids are terrorizing the earth, and the Saturdays interrupt him by appearing with their own army. Argost's reaction was quite amusing.

"Shredder: No! I AM THE SHREDDER! I AM INVINCIBLE!!! I....I....NO!!"
 * In the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles incarnation, the episode "Insane In The Membrane" serves as a whole episode Villainous Breakdown for Baxter Stockman. His punishments for his constant failures was Shredder to reduce him to a brain in a jar, so he made himself a new body. Unfortunately, the new body begins to rot when he's in it. What is apparently hours or days later, the now half rotted and green-skinned Stockman begins having hallucinations about his childhood and his mother dying. He is also convinced that April is his mother and for some reason must kill her. So Stockmanstein breaks into her apartment, takes her back to his lab, and yeah more weird stuff involving a cable car.
 * Shredder suffers this moments before being killed in both Same As It Never Was and . Both scenes go about the same way:

"Robotnik to no one in particular: "I hhaattee that hedgehog...I Hate him. HATE HIM. HAAATEE HIIIMMM!! HATE! HATE!! HATE!!! HAAAAAATE!!!!!! ARRRRGAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
 * Robotnik in the Series Finale of Sonic the Hedgehog, as Robotropolis explodes and he flees forever:

"Gothel: "You want me to be the bad guy? Fine — now I'm the bad guy...""
 * That's also a reference to Robotnik's Catch Phrase in The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * Brother Blood from Teen Titans had one that progressed over each of his apperances. In his first apperance, he was usually calm and controlled his students through trickery, fear and rage. By his last apperance, he was reduced to shouting in rage over Cyborg somehow being able to defy his control. It got even worse when Cyborg kicked his butt.
 * Slade's are more subtle, owing to his being The Stoic, but the climaxes of the season one and two finales both have him showing visible emotion (namely, anger) for the first time in those arcs, and when his normal cold-blooded cruelty gets mixed with that rage, the resulting actions push him even further into Nightmare Fuel than he was already.
 * Tangled: : After Rapunzel calls her out, Mother Gothel switches from a selfish My Beloved Smother to a hardcore, homicidal Disney villain.

"Lord Darkar: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! What did you do to it (the Ultimate power)?! Bloom: Sorry, but the Ultimate power's going back where it belongs."
 * That's nothing compared to her later Big No when.
 * At the end of Sleeping Beauty, after Maleficent discovered that Prince Phillip had escaped with the fairies, she goes insane by sending a thicket a thorns as an attempt to stop the heroes from getting to the unconscious Princess Aurora, and when that doesn't work, she lets out her rage completely by turning into a dragon.
 * Steele, the main villain of Balto suffers a rather frightening one in much the same manner as Ratigan's. He finds himself in a position were his only hope for survival is to let Balto take the glory he feels is completely his. He responds by going from a Smug Snake to a feral and insane hound who brutally assaults Balto. When that fails, he messes up Balto's trail while muttering to himself psychotically. Yeah, he recovered, but he managed to make himself scarier than the Grizzly Bear who attacked Balto earlier!
 * Vilgax from Ben 10 suffers one after being thrown into the Null Void and escaping. His previous motivation was steal the Omnitrix to take over the universe, even when he returned the first time that was it. This time he's gets a Twitchy Eye just thinking about what happened to him and is all out for revenge on Ben in addition to obtaining the Omnitrix, even if it results in the destruction of the universe. Ben even offers to surrender the Omnitrix without a fight if he gets the self destruct turned off and prevents the destruction of universe, Vilgax doesn't accept it because he wants revenge on Ben so greatly.
 * In Winx Club, Lord Darkar gets one when Bloom returns to normal via Prince Sky's kind words of "I love you", and returns the Ultimate power back to its rightful place.

"Bob: Only I could have executed such a masterpiece of electoral fraud! And I have the records to prove it! Here, just look at these (pulls out binders and floppy disks) each one a work of Machiavellian art! Judge: But why? Bob: Because you need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside, you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That's why I did this: to protect you from yourselves. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a city to run. Judge: Bailiffs, place the mayor under arrest. Bob: What? Oh yes, all that stuff I did."
 * And in response, he attempts to destroy and take his revenge on Bloom's friends and take Bloom back by spewing flames at the group, which Professor Faragonda and the other teachers deflect by putting up a magical shield around everyone, and he progressively continues spewing the flames at the shield in an attempt to break it and destroy everyone until the fairies unleash their convergence spell involving their Charmix, which allows them to conjure an expanding mass of light that causes Darkar to receive a massive Oh Crap moment and scream "NOOOOO!!! This can't be happening!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" as the mass overwhelms him and sends him back to the chaos that spawned him where he will remain forever, and afterwards causes both Shadowhaunt and Realix to start trembling and collapsing.
 * Baltor also gets one when he realizes that Bloom caused the box he kept all the magic he stole from all over the universe in to start leaking it out and returning said magic to their rightful places. He regains his Villainous Breakdown when Bloom cancels out his elemental clone attack involving the Spell of the Elements cloning four of the Red Fountain specialists by attacking him in his throne room from where she is fighting Prince Sky's clone.
 * Icy undergoes this after Bloom regains her powers. For the whole season she's a smarmy, psychotic Smug Snake; after Bloom gets her powers back she loses her cool, progressively screaming more and more until finally getting knocked out of the sky.
 * The Simpsons had one moment where Sideshow Bob is elected mayor and held trial under the accusation that he rigged the election. Bart and Lisa drive him crazy by insisting that he was to stupid to rig the election and that his running mate, Barlow, was the real mastermind. Bob ultimately digs his own grave:

"Grimes: Extremely high voltage? Well, I don't need safety gloves 'cause I'm Homer Simp- (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)"
 * There's also Russ Cargill in the Movie who, after the dome is destroyed, turns a shotgun on Homer.
 * Frank Grimes. At the end of his episode, Grimes actually goes crazy and starts running around the power plant doing very dangerous things, pretending that he's Homer Simpson, before finally touching several live electric wires and being electrocuted.

""I consider myself an even-tempered man; it takes a heck of a lot to get under my skin. But congratulations - you just won the solid gold kewpie doll!""
 * Gorillaz: Driven by greed and desperation, psychotic bassist Murdoc slowly became more unhinged with the Plastic Beach arc. He rants and raves aimlessly in his radio broadcasts and seems to be loosing his grasp on reality, and he no longer bothers to hide his criminal activity and blatant abuse of his "friend" 2D. The 'villain' term might be a little iffy, as Murdoc's still more of a Heroic Sociopath than anything, but he's definitely got some decay going.
 * Atlantis: The Lost Empire: As Milo ruins his attempt to carry the crystal containing Kida to the surface, Rourke starts attacking him with an axe:

"Daffy: Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers, and gunpowder, and cordite! I'm an elk! Shoot me, go on! It's elk season! I'm a fiddler crab! Why don't you shoot me?! It's fiddler crab season!!!"
 * XANA from Code Lyoko has one at the end of an episode were he's trapped the gang in virtual version of earth with himself assuming the form of Jérémie. When the real Jérémie shows up, XANA has an extremely frightening breakdown because he cannot understand how Jérémie overcame his fear and entered the scanner because its "not logical".
 * In "Mortal Folly", The Lich from Adventure Time starts laughing insanely when Finn is on the verge of destroying him—with a sweater no less.
 * Daffy Duck has one in the Looney Tunes short, "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!" after being shot by Elmer Fudd for the sixth time.

"Elmer: I'LL KILL THE WABBIT!!! AWISE, STORM! NORTH WIND BWOW! SOUTH WIND BWOW! TYPHOONS! HUWWICANES! EARTHQUAKES! SMOG!!!!"
 * Elmer Fudd gets one in another Looney Tunes short, "What's Opera, Doc?": when he realizes that he had been duped by Bugs Bunny disguised as Brunehilde, he lets loose with Unstoppable Rage on the rabbit and summons the elements to help do him in.

"Hexidecimal: No! No! I must...I must stop it! Stop it all from going so very wrong! *Snaps fingers, undoes bug and walks off with a sly smile.*"
 * Happens to  at the end of Cars 2 as a result of Mater exposing him as the villain behind the evil plot of the exploding race cars. He then goes crazy for a while before finally being forced to deactivate the Time Bomb he placed on the tow truck (it's voice activated, meaning that only he can turn it off properly) as a final attempt to kill him.
 * Happens in Regular Show to The Warden of the Internet in Go Viral. After she flies into a psychotic rage, tearing herself out of the wall and going on a rampage.
 * In My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Discord snaps when Fluttershy doesn't play along with his twisted mind games. He drops the Faux Affably Evil act and just brainwashes her with a huffy "Arrevederci!"
 * Hexidecimal from Re Boot plays this straight for about all of five seconds, and then immediately subverts it. Her Medusa Bug turns all of Mainframe to stone, and Bob points out that she has made the entire place calm and predictable. As Hex is the poster child of chaotic behavior, this causes her to panic.
 * Hexidecimal from Re Boot plays this straight for about all of five seconds, and then immediately subverts it. Her Medusa Bug turns all of Mainframe to stone, and Bob points out that she has made the entire place calm and predictable. As Hex is the poster child of chaotic behavior, this causes her to panic.

"Big Bad Wolf: By the hair on your chinny-chin-chin, I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!"
 * In Young Justice "Secrets", Harm's sociopathic villain act falls apart The Sword of Beowulf rejects him, and Artemis easily overpowers his clumsy attempts at close combat. He even drops the Third Person Person speech.
 * In Anastasia when Anya smashes Rasputin's Soul Jar he completely loses it as his minions attack him.
 * Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2. "'Fair'?! I'll tell you what's not fair: Spending a lifetime on a dime-store shelf watching every other toy be sold! Well, finally my waiting has paid off, and no hand-me-down cowboy doll is gonna mess it up for me now!"
 * The Big Bad Wolf in Three Little Pigs, after his Fuller Brush Man disguise (or Jewish peddler disguise, depending on where you live in the world) fails.

"Chief: (calmly) Hark...the hills are alive... Max: (sung) With The Sound of Music...(Chief clocks him) Chief: WHO??!! WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS??!!"
 * It also caused him to devolve back into an ordinary wolf.
 * In the Wallace and Gromit cartoon "A Matter of Loaf and Death", Wallace's washed-up bread spokeswoman turned baker-killing love interest, Piella Bakewell, apparently loses it after her plot to kill Wallace is foiled. She tries to fly away in the old Bake-O-Lite balloon, despite her growing too heavy to fly the balloon being the reason she was fired in the first place, and she babbles "They can't drop me, I'm the Bake-O-Lite Girl!" even as she descents into a pit of hungry crocodiles at the zoo, which is followed by the sound of Piella being eaten alive.
 * Aladdin: The moment Jafar starts spewing out those horrific puns.
 * Miss Power has one in The Rise of Miss Power when Word Girl started to use nice words instead of mean ones, and she starts to lose her power. She then begins to stutter that she never loses, and she flees Earth, so that she wouldn't be defeated.
 * Dr. Two-Brains has one in the episode Word Girl and Bobbleboy. This happened when he was surrounded by bobblehead replicas of Word Girl, and starts to lose it at how many Word Girls there were.
 * Yellow Submarine: The Chief Blue Meanie has a breakdown following Max's zinger after the Beatles have sung life back into Pepperland:


 * He'd later go into a spasm and be placated with "nasty medicine."
