** Sylvester gets a Crowning Moment in the Chuck Jones cartoon ''The Fraidy Cat''. Porky Pig and his pet Sylvester find themselves in a haunted house, where the mice terrorize Sylvester by throwing knives, bowling balls and other weapons at him and Porky. Porky, of course, is oblivious to the threat, until, fed up with Sylvester's seeming cowardice, heads into the kitchen to confront the source of Sylvester's fears. The mice end up leading him to the executioner's block, and Porky, tied up under a mass of ropes, can only hold a sign saying, "You were right, Sylvester." Sylvester runs to the hills, only to be confronted by his conscience(a pale blue Sylvester standing next to a reader-board). His conscience points out that Porky raised him from a kitten, and then shows a comparative size chart of Sylvester and a mouse, and finally produces a sign reading, "Now get in there and fight! Fight! FIGHT!!!". This starts Sylvester getting riled up, to the point where he runs up to a tree, rips off a limb with his bare hands and brandishes it like a club--before discarding the limb and [[Beyond the Impossible|uprooting the whole tree]] and charging back to the haunted house to kick mouse butt!

* One particular ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' cartoon ("The Million Dollar Cat") that comes to mind went something like this: Tom inherits a vast amount of money, but the inheritance comes with a clause that he will lose all the money if he ever harms a mouse. [[Manipulative Bastard|Jerry decides to be a complete prick about this]]: stealing Tom's money, eating the extravagant food right off of Tom's plate and even ''causing grievous bodily harm'' to the poor housecat, all because he knows Tom can't retaliate. Eventually Tom snaps and beats the crap out of Jerry, [[Stock Aesops|because there are some things more important than money]]. Like the happiness you gain from taking revenge on the little bastard that made your life miserable.

After capturing Birdman, he gets [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] and blasts [[Non Human Sidekick|Avenger]] with a laser before returning to base, heading off (or so he believes at the moment) the one factor that has ruined almost every other villain in the series. The whole episode is arguably the series' Crowning Moment, if such a thing is possible.

Everyone who knew the comic book knew what was coming, and it didn't disappoint: he gruesomely changes into Violator, and ''everything'' about his mannerisms changes. Now he speaks telepathically in a much more formal, darker tone that's almost totally devoid of humor (starting with the ominous line "now begins your training"), while laying down not only Spawn's first defeat in a fight, but a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] at that. And the original HBO broadcast went one step further than the DVD's. Initially, his voice was a constantly shifting [[Voice of the Legion]] with both male and female elements; it practically required closed captioning to make out, but it really, really made Violator feel completely non-human. They switched to a more hissing, decipherable voice in reruns and DVD's that lost a little bit of the effect, but either way, it was the perfect demonstration that Clown's really, really [[Not So Harmless Villain]] after all.

* In the short-lived request-a-cartoon-series, ''JBVO'', [[Johnny Bravo]] actually does a recap of an ENTIRE episode of ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' in fast-forward.
* In the semi-series finale of ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'', Edd had been subjected to not only becoming the most feared boy in his entire school (which well and nearly killed his friendship with Ed), but also suffered the most brutal of beatdowns at the hands of [[Beware the Nice Ones|Jimmy, the resident peace-lover.]] Before the Kanker Sisters were about to give him a "reward" for the fight, Eddy promptly yells [[This Is Sparta|HE'S! HAD! ENOUGH ALREADY!!]] at them, before telling them to beat it. Dumbfounded, ''they leave.''

Except [[Warren Ellis]] got his hands all over it and you know what happens then. So far it's all awesome after awesome, but especially the scenes with Snake Eyes. {{spoiler|After everything else he did during Part 2, the end when Snake Eyes flicks the blood from his blade made me go "OH SHIIIII!" in ecstasy of awesome.}}

* In the 2007 ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Film)|TMNT]]'' film: Leonardo vs. Raphael. The two franchise-long [[Red Oni Blue Oni|rivals]], finally getting into a real [[Battle in The Rain|fight]] where they get to bawl each other out - first with words, then with weapons. And even though the plot [[Plot Driven Breakdown|demanded a particular winner]], both combatants made a good show of it.

** It's possible that this scene blew the budget on Awesome for the whole film, which could be why that quality only shows up in a couple other scenes, in lesser amounts.

* Brain shows his inner [[Trickster Archetype]] in the ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' episode "Brain of the Future" when the two are taken prisoner by a race of humanoid cockroaches. Brain bets the queen he he can hold more in his two arms than her two guards can hold in their combined twelve, and if he's right, she'll let them go. She accepts his challenge, and of course, there's no way he can top the mountain of stuff the guards end up holding... but now that they've got their hands full, he's free to grab the [[MacGuffin]] and escape! [[Batman Gambit|Classic]]! [[Watership Down|El-ahrairah]] and[[Song of the South|Br'er Rabbit]] would be so proud.

* What about the episode of Cyberchase where the Cybersquad gets tricked into going to Tick Tockia because they think Hacker's sent Slider through the portal to the realm in question? Slider manages to pull out a screwdriver and get the floor to fall out from under him without Hacker noticing and then [[It Makes Sense in Context|attempts to stop the giant clock]] to save his friends. Granted he failed at the last bit but it is still AWESOME!

* Is it wrong that this troper cheered inside everytime the [[Harmless Villain|usually pitiful]] [[Villain Protagonist|Urpneys]] actually did something [[Not So Harmless Villain|genuinely competant or fearsome]] in ''[[The Dreamstone]]''? Most notable examples probably include "Albert's Ailment" and "The Spidermobile", where they not only steal the Dreamstone and bring it to Zordrak but manage to foil the heroes attempts to swipe it back.
