== Other Examples ==
* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]/[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]'' crossover, Billy's dad Harold says his lucky pants are immune to lasers, supernatural energy, and mustard.
* In an episode of the ''New [[Woody Woodpecker]] Show'', Woody's car stalls near a conveniently placed bowling alley in the desert, run by none other than Buzz Buzzard, who offers a prize to who can beat him. Of course, being Buzz Buzzard who he is, he rigs the match completely so that he'll end up winning with a 300 score to keep with his reputation as "Champion" of the place. Turns out that, after he flees, Woody finds out his long list of offenses to the law, which includes "unlawful toenail clipping". But there's more: upon seeing this, he immediately calls the police on the phone and starts listing his offenses, to which the cop pays no mind whatsoever. Only when he mentions: "but Officer, he parked in a no-parking zone!" do the cops decide to flock in on him and arrest him (he was trying to escape [[What an Idiot!|in Woody's ]]''[[What an Idiot!|stalled car'']]'').
* An episode of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' has Robin and Cyborg getting angry and insulting each other. Cyborg's is: "You're rude, bossy, and you have no taste in music!"
** There's also Killer Moth's ultimatum to the city, which is that he'll unleash his army of mutant moth monsters if they don't declare him ruler, and the Teen Titans surrender. And Robin takes this lovely young woman (his extremely spoiled daughter) to the prom.

* Coop of ''[[Megas XLR]]'' was fond of this method. [[Once an Episode]], he'd confront the [[Monster of the Week]], and deliver a long monologue with the format of the quote given below. Often things were included in the list that weren't the villain's fault, which were usually also things Coop himself had done.
{{quote|'''Coop:''' All right you intergalactic snots! You busted up my car show!

Line 254 ⟶ 258:
'''Dale:''' And four, well… You haven’t done anything really crummy for a while, so we figured you were due!}}
* In an episode of ''[[Justice League Action]]'', Lex Luthor steals [[Artifact of Doom|the Occulus]] from Olympus, giving him, "Power! Strength! And ''lovely'' hair!"
* In an episode of ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]'', Dojo (a dragon) is deeply offended when Clay [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|compares him to a dinosaur]] (despite the dinosaur in question [[Talking Animal|being able to talk]]), stating, "''We'' breathe fire, fly, and chew with our mouths closed!"
 
* In the ''[[Animaniacs]]'' episode "Spell-Bound" (which was, incidentally, the first half-hour episode starring Pinky and the Brain exclusively) there are no less than three examples:
** The first case is where the Brain is reading the table of contents of Merlin’s spell book: “Tabby cat turned into duck, tadpoles, magic uses of, Tahoe, how to win at blackjack…” After reading that last one, he thinks about it for a couple of seconds, and then says, “Nah.”
** Second, the first four ingredients for the “Take Over the World Spell” (the one he was looking for) are: six lizard legs, two eyes of newt, two hedgehog spleens, and one half-eaten gingerbread cookie that’s been left on the counter overnight.
** Getting the ''final'' ingredient, a red dragon toenail clipping, is the main plot. While traveling through the Enchanted Forest to the Murky Mountain to get it, the pair comes across a signpost pointing to the "Glade of Woe", the "Chasm of Despair" and the "Pit of Barbecue"; in regards to the last one, the Brain says, "Perhaps later."
