Big No/Western Animation

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Used in the Teen Titans episode "Birthmark" by Raven when Slade shows her a vision of a destroyed world that she's going to create. Also used by Raven in the same episode when she refuses for a final time the party the others have planned for her birthday and destroys everything with her powers.
  • The Penguins of Madagascar are in love with this trope. Most come from Skipper.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants:

Patrick: Maybe it's just because you're ugly.
SpongeBob: Ugly?! (sticks finger in mouth, slides it across his eyebrows) You gotta be kiddin' meh.
Patrick: Let us try the reflection test. (holds up a mirror in front of SpongeBob)
SpongeBob: (to reflection) Hi! (SpongeBob's reflection grabs a hammer and breaks itself after smelling SpongeBob's breath)
Patrick: Uuuuuuglyyyyyyy....
SpongeBob: OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

(Homer gives a running dive with an unenthusiastic Big No)
Instructor: Well, your lunge was good, but I just couldn't believe your 'NOOOOOO'! You gotta sell it! Remember, your 'NOOOOOO' is what gets you paid! Now drop and give me 20!
Homer: NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Instructor: Better.

    • Used straight in episode "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", when Barney discovers he holds the black pickled egg that means he's today's designated driver.

Barney: (after noticing the others have normal eggs and slowly seeing he got the black one) NOOOOOO! (crushes the egg in his hand and holds his head)
Homer: (coming up to him) You got the black one.

    • Also used straight by Bart in "Black Widower".
    • Seymour Skinner does three in a row in the episode "Bart's Comet", each with increased intensity; firstly, when he discovers that Bart has managed to discover a comet, something Skinner has dreamed of for years, when he briefly left Bart in charge of his telescope whilst trying to capture a less-than-complementary hot-air-balloon depicting Skinner with a giant rear that Bart earlier released ("Noooo!"). Then, he realises that in his earlier grief he's released the hot-air-balloon, letting it float free to humiliate him further ("Noooo!"). Then, a paperboy drops the morning paper in front of him, with a headline reading "PREZ SEZ: SCHOOL IS FOR LOSERS": ("NOOOOOOOOOOOO!").
    • Skinner pulls a similiar one season 4's "Duffless".
    • Done yet again in "Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words". Homer makes Lisa so angry that she tells him that she's going to use Marge's maiden name (Bouvier) instead of Simpson. Homer drops to his knees and screams "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Then another girl walks buy and asks if he wants to buy some Band Candy. Homer's reply: "YEEEEEEEEEEEES!"
    • And then there's the episode where the Flanders's get Bart, Lisa, and Maggie as foster children.

Ned: Do you reject Satan, and all his empty promises?
Homer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (skin burns on contact with holy water)

    • "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?":

Lisa: Dad, no! [The poisoned eclair] is going to kill you!
Homer: Eh, I've had a good run. (prepares to take a bite)
Lisa: No! (thinks) It's low-fat!
Homer: NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (throws eclair)

    • And parodied yet again in an episode where Grandpa is a Sprawl-Mart greeter, and gets knocked onto an out-of-control shopping buggy.

Grandpa: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-- (cut to show that he's headed for a stack of lawn gnomes) --OOOOOOMES!

    • In "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", Chief Wiggum lets out one that gets twisted into a wolf-type howl at the moon.
    • In the beginning of the episode where Bart made a new friend who was the daughter of Wolfcastle, Marge threw the Olympic Torch to the police and the police helicopter crashed and...

Policeman 1: Are you okay?
Policeman 2: Yeah, im ok...(looks at extinguished Olympic Torch)"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

    • In the "138th Episode Spectacular", alternate clips are shown including another ending as to who shot Mr. Burns. When he fingers Smithers as the culprit, Smithers gives a big no then adds, "Wait a minute. Yes."
    • Played for Laughs in the episode where Marge gets a job at the Power Plant. Smithers is finished cleaning the unirals until...

(Homer bursts in)
Homer: Oh, man! I really gotta-- (unzips fly)
Smithers: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

  • Many in Futurama. In particular, being a parody of melodramatic acting, Calculon the robotic soap-opera star is prone to do this sort of thing a lot.
    • "Bend Her" has two in one episode. Calculon is being interviewed on a talk show with Coilette as another guest (who is Bender who changed his robotic sex and invented his own country to win multiple fembot Olympic medals). When asked to set the audience up for the clip they are about to show from a new episode, Calculon responds "No, I think it's self-explanatory." The clip shows Calculon screaming "NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" (while a Pirate inexplicably cooks burgers on a barbecue behind him). After the clip, Calculon nonchalantly replies, "Funny story: The script called for me to say 'yes' but I gave it a little twist." Afterwards, "Coilette" ends up engaged to Calculon but has to call the wedding off before the sex change becomes permanent. After... she fakes her death of at what would have been her wedding to Calculon...

Dr. Zoidberg: (in the middle of eating and nonchalantly) I'm a doctor. He's dead.

Calculon: No! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO! N! O! O! O!

    • Done again by Calculon in "That's Lobstertainment!", when Harold Zoid (Zoidberg's over-the-hill celebrity uncle) is trying to make a movie that will guarantee him an Oscar.
    • In "Mars University", Gunther the genius monkey decides to get a degree in business with his now only decent intelligence. causing Professor Farnsworth to shout a big no.
    • In "Love and Rocket", Bender dumps the crazy Planet Express ship while she, and the main cast inside her, are being chased by a large fleet from Omicron Persei 8. Cue big, shrieking no.
    • "When Aliens Attack": Fry gets one off after a ship from Omicron Persei 8 blows up his sand castle, immediately after the Omnicronians blew up many world monuments gathered in the same part of New New York.
    • And Fry again in Into the Wild Green Yonder when Bender gives him back his game (he was playing Tetris) and Bender tell him he missed up the "L" formation he was making with the blocks.
    • Fry again in "Fry and the Slurm Factory", when Leela dumps the trough of pure Slurm he'd been eating from into the sewers.
    • Fry again in the episode "Time Keeps On Slippin'" when his love letter to Leela ends up being destroyed.
    • Fry yet again in "Benderama" when the "disfigured" giant, pushed over the edge by having his mother insulted and his therapist putting him on hold, defeats the giant nano-Bender facsimile and sends him crashing to the ground.
    • Bender in the episode Lethal Inspection when he learns he wasn't built with a back-up unit
    • In "Benderama", during an episode of the Show Within a Show "The Scary Door". A scientist builds a robot that does everything for him, including shouting "NOOOO!" when the irony of the Karmic Twist Ending sinks in.
    • In "The Duh-Vinci Code" when Fry accidentally destroys The Professor's Beard of Leonardo Da Vinchi only for him to find a hidden scroll in it a second later.

Professor: No! Noooooo! But possibly yes.

    • Played with by Bender in "Silence of the Clamps" where, after delivering a Big No as he witnesses Calculon getting clamped into a misshapen mess in front of the Robot Mafia, describes the scene in hilariously full detail in front of the chief of police, complete with imitation of said Big No. When required to testify before a grand jury, he repeats his bit-by-bit exposition of the Robot Mafia's act, only to have the Big No reproduction interrupted by the prosecutor. He asks to let him finish, then lets out a brief "o" representing the end of the Big No, then says that he is, in fact, finished.
  • In a Robot Chicken sketch involving Archie and his friends dealing with deaths plaguing everyone, Moose lets out a Big Duh when Ms. Grundy is crushed by a car.
    • In the Star Wars Robot Chicken Special (3rd one), Vader slips on something, and falls. His hand gets stuck in the toilet, and the toilet flushes. Cue the: "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
  • Jackie Chan Adventures:
    • Shendu yells this after ending up possessing Valmont, instead of Jackie, which was what he intended. Almost all of the Demon Sorcerers scream this when they are banished back to the Netherworld through their portals. When they banish the Earth Demon, Jade hangs a lantern on it: "Here comes my favourite part. "NOOO!""
    • Uncle is also fond of the Chinese version "Iyaaaa!" -- usually just before smacking Jackie around the head for doing something stupid.
  • Parodied throughout the Drawn Together episode "Terms of Endearment", in which Captain Hero screams "Nnnooooooo!!" at least 7 or 8 times. At one point (as the camera pulls back... and back... and then back some more, to reveal just how big a problem he's facing) Hero screams the Big No three times in a row, with dramatic pauses in between.
  • Often used by Swat Kats villains such as Dark Kat and The Pastmaster when the heroes defeat them.
  • Done straight on a fairly regular basis in ReBoot. Bob, being shot into the Web at the end of season two, Enzo, after learning about Bob's fate, Dot in "Game Over" when it appeared that Enzo had been nullified (that scene, coupled with Megabyte's calm laughter, still gives this editor chills), and said twice by Megabyte in two episodes toward the end. This YTMND does a rather good job of pointing out just how often this trope is played.
    • Lampshaded in the musical recap at the end of the third season:

Singer: But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
He threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed,
and Bob was hosed,
and all that he could say was-
Actor Bob: Noooo!

  • The X-Men animated series:
    • A wonderful Big No can be found in episode 4 of season 2, "One Man's Worth part 1". The first occurrence is when Bishop shouts it as Professor X is assassinated in the '50s before he can found the X-Men, followed quickly by an epic Big No from Prof. X when he vanishes from the present. The episode ends with a repeat of the opening scene -- but this time, it's in slow motion for the last few lines of dialogue, including Bishop's Big No. Behold.
    • Also there's a Big No from Apocalypse at the end of the four part "Beyond Good and Evil".
    • As well as one from Wolverine in "Out of the Past: Part 2" when Yuriko was touched by the M'Kraan Spirit Drinker.
    • In addition, there's one from Cyclops in "Reunion, Part 1" when Sinister and his gang kidnaps Jean.
  • Another Big No scene sadly fails in X-Men: Evolution, when Nightcrawler reacts too slow to stop an angry Rogue from pushing Mystique's petrified body off a cliff and has to see it shatter into a thousand shards right in front of him, shortly after finding out that Mystique was his mother. Again, the scene would have been so much better without the slow-motion yell. When recapping that episode in the introductions to later ones, they put the "NOOOO" back at normal speed. It's much more effective.
  • Transformers
    • Optimus Primal gets quite a few in Beast Wars, most notably in the cliffhanger of the first season finale, and when the Axalon is destroyed in season 3.
      • Inverted with Megatron, as he usually says "Yesssssssssssssss."
      • Last episode of Beast Machines. Megatron's final word? "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
    • And in Armada, Optimus Prime gets one of these when Smokescreen dies.
    • Parodied in the "Bee in the City" script reading of Transformers Animated, with David Kaye using his Beast Wars Megatron voice (to enthusiastic approval from the crowd). Upon his defeat, he vows to return, ending with a Big Yes "YEEESSS!"
    • In Animated, the Autobots discuss having to leave, and Bulkhead wonders how Sari (human sidekick) will take it. Bumblebee says she's a big girl and can handle it. Cut to Sari screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! at the top of her lungs.
    • Not to mention the episode "Nature Calling" when Prowl smashes Bumblebee's only battery, rendering him unable to see movies in the middle of nature. His "NOOOO!" was truly epic.
  • In The Spectacular Spider-Man, the Sandman gets one of these after seeing the results of his Transformation Trauma into a living sand being.
  • Littlefoot gets one of these in The Land Before Time IX: Journey to Big Water, as he watches Mo lead the swimming sharptooth away.
  • Used in American Dad by either Stan, Francine or Hayley when they believe Steve and Roger were killed by a lightning-struck treehouse. Rather effective due to how strangled and broken it sounded. Steve also gets a particularly good one.
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender
    • There's a slow-motion one from Zuko in the Grand Finale when Taking the Bullet for Katara. Cue "must run in the family" jokes...
    • It really does; Iroh has a (much less dramatic) one when he sees June get hit with her Shirshu's paralyzing tongue.
    • There's also one in the desert episode, right before Aang creates a giant mushroom cloud.
    • Parodied in the Who Would Want to Watch Us?}}? episode when Actress Aang lets out a nice 9 second "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as she "dies".
    • Katara has one in the Puppetmaster when Hama nearly forces Sokka and Aang to kill each other using Bloodbending.
  • Danny Phantom
    • When Danny's family and friends (and teacher) are about to be blown up to their doom in an alternate timeline, Danny cries one out, complete with slow motion movement.
    • Vlad later gets one in another episode when his perfect clone is destroyed by Danny and his Opposite Gender Clone. For just one word, it's brilliantly acted.
  • In one episode of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 series, Baxter Stockman lets out a big "WHY?" after Bishop brought him back from the brink of death (as a result of the events in "Insane in the Membrane"), which robbed him of finally resting in peace after everything he lived through in the series. It...comes across a bit narm-y.
  • Kim Possible
    • In "Stop Team Go", after using hundreds of mooks to destroy the gurken jar, Dr. Drakken puts the jar under a big laser beam, and he fires it. The result was a big crater on the floor, and the jar was unharmed. Cue Big No.
    • In another episode, upon learning that her very annoying younger twins have been skipped ahead and are now in the same high-school as her, Kim lets out a big no powerful enough to knock letters of the school sign out front, while she's indoors.
  • The Powerpuff Girls
    • "Daylight Savings": "PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
    • Captain Righteous and Lefty confront the Ministry of Pain in "Fallen Arches". The Captain lets out a big no as he runs towards Lefty who just hurt his hip. However, he hasn't reached his sidekick yet so he shouts it again.
  • Parodied in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Boo Boo Kitty", when Space Ghost's pet cat, actually a large balloon, slowly drifts towards a large safety pin. He screams NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, runs out of breath, inhales, and starts again. After the balloon deflates, he promptly ignores the others when they suggest he could have easily saved Boo Boo Kitty from its untimely death.
  • Played for laughs in Metalocalypse, where Big Nos are Nathan's catchphrase, and he lets them out quite regularly. They are usually accompanied by the camera flying down Nathan's throat. One example comes when Nathan lets out a NOOOOOOOOOO! upon Nick Ibsen revealing Dethklok's parents.

Nick Ibsen: You are all going to be reunited with your families.
(a panel opens up, revealing the families of each of the five band members)
Nathan Explosion: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You're going to pay for this!
Nick Ibsen: Pay for what? Journalistic integrity?

    • The bit on flying down the throat comes from the episode "Murdering Outside the Box". When Nathan learns that someone is embezzling from the band, he suddenly goes into the Big No sequence, and from the "down the throat" bit the show goes into the opening.
    • It also happens when Nathan, after having death-growled the entire works of Shakespeare to sell as an audiobook, learns that an extremely-inebriated Pickles "like...TOTALLY forgot to hit record, man." The strain of recording the growled version of "Hamlet" having taken its toll on Nathan's larynx, the Big No was rasped rather than screamed.
  • The Buzz Lightyear of Star Command episode "Plasma Monster" has Booster react this way when Plasma Boy's girlfriend tells him they can still be Just Friends.
  • Ace Lightning: The characters in this mixed media show are based on superhero stereotypes, so this was going to show up sooner or later -- except that it's not one of the CGI characters that do it -- it's a human, in the last episode, when he thinks Ace has been shot.
  • In Street Fighter, Guile gives one when Cammy defected to Shadaloo and gives Bison a big kiss. Note the Soundtrack Dissonance.
  • In Freakazoid! episode "House of Freakazoid", Freakazoid is pressured to pursue a villainess through a sewer, but repeatedly refuses because he hates the smell of poo gas.

Freakazoid: NO! A big N, followed by a little O: no!

  • Parodied in The Fairly OddParents "Wishology: The Exciting Middle Part", which ends with a big "Dagnabit!"
    • Played straight in the Fairly Oddparents: Shadow Showdown video game; Timmy shouts it after his TV breaks in the introduction, and again upon seeing he's missed the Crash Nebula season finale at the end.
    • And parodied in "Pixies Inc", where, after being foiled, the Pixies let out a big no--with no emotion.
  • Cow of Cow and Chicken did it in an episode while jumping to catch a coin. In slo-mo. With the entire world slowed down as well.
  • In the last episode of the third season of The Venture Brothers, Henchman 21 indulges in a Big No when the Monarchmobile explodes with Henchman 24 trapped inside, but is interrupted when 24's severed head hits him in the chest.
  • In Brother Bear, Kenai lets out the distant, bird-disturbing version of a Big No when he discovers he's been transformed into a bear.
  • In Batman Beyond, Derek Powers accidentally inhales a big gulp of his own nerve gas, and in the same second it takes him to realize what has happened to him, makes an appropriately horrified scream to this effect.
  • An episode of Family Guy has Peter be really upset over the loss of his pet parrot.
  • The Donkey Kong Country episode "Buried Treasure" contains this exchange when Klump's video conference interrupts K. Rool's computer game:

Klump: General Klump reporting, King K. Rool sir! Y'read me, your high 'n mightyness?... Looking a little pale there, chief!
K. Rool: NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (smashes the computer)
Klump: (calling on the phone) Chief? You there, chief? Seems we had some sort of interference.

  • In an episode of Flap Jack, The Real Adventurer has the reaction to Bubbie telling him K'Nuckles is not a pregnant woman.
  • Invader Zim just loves to scream. The Big No is his favourite.
    • From the same show we also have the most epic Big No of all time as delivered by a random guy at a park bench who's soda can is being crushed by Mars.
    • And then there's two Big No's in the episode "Zim Eats Waffles".
  • South Park:
    • The episode "Jewbilie" does it four times in a row: First Kyle when Kenny makes a Heroic Sacrifice to stop Haman, then Haman when Moses escapes the conch shell, then anti-semetic Rabbi Garth screams it twice when he realizes his plans have been foiled.
    • The Movie:

Kyle: (long speech) I don't want a fighter. I want my mom.
Soldier: (moved, sniffs) Poor little fella.
Sheila: NOOOOOOOOO! (wrestles rifle out of the general's hands and shoots Terrance and Phillip)

Mormon: We were just about to do a play about how much stealing hurts you deep inside. Come join us. (the Mormons lift Saddam over their heads and carry him off)
Saddam: No! NOOOOOO!

    • "Something You Can Do With Your Finger" parodies the Star Trek: First Contact example above, when Randy prevents Stan from being in his boy band. Incidentally, they actually use the sound clip of Picard's breakdown from the movie for that scene.

Stan: Why can't I be in a boy band?
Randy: (firmly) Because I Said So.
Stan: Cartman said we're going to perform at the mall at three o'clock! My friends are gonna be pissed off at me!
Randy: (still pretty controlled) Let them be pissed off.
Stan: Dad, I don't understand. Just let me do this one thing and then I'll...
Randy: (inexplicably losing it) Noooo! NOOOOOOO! (smashes a glass dresser with his head)

    • In "The Last of the Meheecans", Randy does it again when he's confronted with what happens when Mexican immigrants performing menial labor all decide to move back to their birth country in a fit of nostalgia, using the same Darth Vader soundclip from Revenge of the Sith.
    • In "Marjorine" Linda Stotch lets out several blood-curling screams of "NO" when she thinks her son Butters has committed suicide by jumping off a building. She does it again at his funeral while throwing herself on his casket.
  • Rocko's Modern Life: Rocko and Heffer are on a bus tour of Paris with a bus driver who is determined to keep his passengers on the bus at all costs, so much so that he chases them around the city after they escape. By the time the two board a plane home, the bus driver delivers an epic BIG NO as the two fly off into the sunset.
  • Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Blade lets out a particularly narmtastic one of these in the season four episode, The Vampire Queen. And Spider-Man gives a particularly haunting one upon the death of the Mary Jane Clone.
  • Total Drama Island
    • Owen says a big no when a box of chocolates gets knocked into the water.
    • Also, Alejandro in the finale of the 3rd season gives out a Big No after he is put in a robot suit because he was burned by lava and trampled by most of the contestants. Al lets it out when he asks Chris if the prize money is safe, only to find out it was burned in the volcano. It's hilarious because it parodies the cheesiest moments in Star Wars history (which is seen in the picture above).
  • Phineas and Ferb
  • Parodied in the Musical Episode of Daria. Daria gives a Big No as Kevin accidentally locks the four of them out on the roof.
  • In one episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Robotnik lets out a Big No which is used extremely often in YouTube Poop. This video is also an Overly Long Gag.

Near the end, the duckling realizes that Tom intends to eat him and prepares to take a long walk off a soup spoon into a bubbling pot, "If my nice mommy wants a duck dinner..." Tom utters a Big No as he catches the duckling. A "No!" made all the more impressive by the fact that Tom & Jerry usually don't have speaking voices....

Her Voice of the Legion makes it especially nice.
    • In "Stare Master", Fluttershy's reaction to Applebloom suggesting the Cutie Mark Crusaders try to get coal-mining cutie marks is a very emphatic (especially for her) "NO!"
