Curb Stomp Battle/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

 

* ''[[Exo Squad]]'', whenever there are significant numbers of Neo Warriors, victory tends to lean in their favor against the Exoframes used by Exofleet due to their durability and regeneration. Hell, right after [[La Résistance|the Australian Resistance]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomps]] the occupying Neo Sapien forces in Australia, they are in turn curbstomped by the Neo Warrior Counter Attack. Then there is the Third Battle for Venus where General Shiva, under Phaeton's Orders, tries to invade Venus or destroy the ''[[Cool Starship|Resolute II]]'' again. Despite destroying several frigates, the Neo Sapien Fleet is completely overwhelmed, Shiva dies, the Flagship is destroyed, and several carriers, battleships, and carriers are destroyed by Marsh's flanking maneuver. What's left-which isn't much, limps back to Earth, leaving the way open for invasion.

** Considering Megatron has every advantage from a physical standpoint, the only way to beat him is trickery, which Rattrap got plenty of.

** Silverbolt in the episode Crossing The Rubicon delivers one to Tarantulas after getting his [[Berserk Button]] smashed with a sledgehammer.

'''Starscream:''' Whoa, big guns... '''[[Oh Crap|SLAAAAG]]!''' }}

** It looked like it might go somewhere when Starscream suddenly grows huge by the power of the [[MacGuffin]], but Primus ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|turns some moons into maces]]'' and effortlessly slams Starscream into an asteroid.

*** Meh, didn't happen to Scourge quite as often as you make it out to be. Also, there can be no forgetting Megatron vs. Metroplex. Metroplex literally stomps on Megatron, effortlessly dodges an attack on his legs, and then brings his giant axe down on Megatron's ugly head so hard Megatron ends up in the bottom of a small crater in the floor.

**** The ''next'' floor, that is. He was pounded straight through the floor they were standing on and left a small crater in the floor ''below.''

** He pretty much decimates the entire Justice League, casually. And even moved the planet, the ''planet'' Oa to another dimension because he didn't feel like going around it.

* In the [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Kim Possible]]'' [[Berserk Button|Mystical Monkey Power]] Ron manages to Curb Stomp the extremely powerful [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]].

** Red X, in his first appearance in the series as his own character, effectively curb stomps the ''Teen Titans'' the first time he fights them. ''All of them''. At the ''same time''. With the exception of Robin, they don't fare much better against him for the rest of the episode.

*** He does it again in "Revved Up" when he takes on nine supervillains in their tricked-out, weaponized vehicles and destroys every single one of those vehicles. In [[Beyond the Impossible|forty seconds]]. In ''style''. And not with his own motorcycle, either. That was destroyed, so he [[Crazy Awesome|jumps from vehicle to vehicle instead]] while they're moving at speeds in excess of 100 mph and takes them out that way.

** Later, after discovering the secret behind the Dragon Scroll, Tai Lung furiously attacks Po with the forbidden technique (which can instantly incapacitate anyone). What was the effect of this action? Laughter. Panda thought he was being tickled, then after kicking Tai Long's butt few times in a comical fashion, he uses the ''Wuxi Finger Hold'' technique. Which is considered too powerful to be taught, but [[The Chosen One|he]] does it anyway.

** The best part? {{spoiler|Master Shifu didn't teach it to him. ''[[Ass Pull|He figured it out''.]]}}

** Mace Windu has another such battle, in the original Clone Wars mini-episodes, when he goes to planet Dantooine, and his entire army is slaughtered by a CIS superweapon. His response? Beat the enemy robots to death ''with his bare hands'' and then destroy the superweapon singlehandedly. At one point he delivers a series of punches to some battledroids so outrageous, I swear, his fists looked like they were on fire. [[But Now I Must Go|And then, he drinks some water a little boy gave him and leapt off a mountain into the distance.]] [[Beyond the Impossible|Yes.]]

*** Makes you wonder how a little electroshock and a fall could kill him.

* In the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Stanley's Cup," The South Park Peewee Hockey team ends up playing the Detroit Red Wings. [[This Is Gonna Suck|This doesn't]] end well.

* ''[[Winx Club]]'' season 3 uses this both for good and bad: Enchantix Bloom had one with the Trix, while Enchantix Stella had one against Chimera. The Bloom battle was awesome ([[Seasonal Rot|well, by this season's standards]]), the Stella battle, not so much.

** The end of "The Siege of the North." Avatar Aang + [[Unstoppable Rage|ripshit pissed]] [[Physical God|La]] vs. the entire Fire Nation invasion force. It ends badly for them.

** Any of the [[Old Master|Order of the White Lotus]] vs anyone else..

** [[Establishing Character Moment|In the very episode that she's introduced,]] [[Disability Superpower|the blind]] and [[Little Miss Badass|12-year old Toph]] beats the ever-loving crap out of seven professional earthbending fighters.

** In their first on-screen battle, Azula defeats Zuko very easily and would have killed him if not for [[Big Damn Heroes|Iroh's intervention]].

* When [[Hanna-Barbera]]'s [[Godzilla]] went up against [[G.I. Joe|COBRA]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsMOPbobHjY&NR=1 A Curbstomp battle with an added dose of PWN].

* On ''[[Family Guy]]'' Meg goes to prison for a few months and comes back a hardened badass who beats the living crap out of Peter and gives him an '''actual''' curb-stomp (or "stairstomp" in this case).

** The best curbstomp in that series has to be when Shazzan dispatches a wizard who controls a powerful fire demon and the demon itself, telling the fire demon to 'go back to the dimension where it came from and take its master with it'. Now, what dimension DO Fire Demons come from? On the flipside, the genie actually once chastises the kids for summoning him to beat a local street magician just to show he could.

* The battle between OSI and the original Sphinx organization of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' lore: Sphinx is simultaneously annihilated and humiliated by an army of ''[[The Village People]]'' impersonators, who appear to have suffered no casualties. In fact, the concept of the [[Curb Stomp Battle]] is parodied by how some of OSI's attacks clearly reference well-known war atrocities.

* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' does this rather well in the episode "The Princess And The Bounty Hunters" After spending almost the entire episode telling how they would individually take down Jack, the said princess advises they join forces to bring him down. After laying out a seemingly perfect trap, they all hide under the snow. They all spring on Jack as he walks by... and he takes them ALL down in less time than a drop a water from a melting icicle can hit the ground.

* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Jimmy becoming a wrestler. As you can imagine, every fight he was in was pretty much this.

** When Superboy is first released in the pilot he (under the control of Cadmus genomes) takes out Kid Flash in a single punch, and after being slightly annoyed by Robin's taser does the same to him. Aqualad is the only one who actually manages to fight him evenly for awhile, although eventually Superboy takes him out too.

** In "Omens Part Two" Thundera's [[Catfolk|Cats]] are laid [[The Siege|siege]] to by [[Lizard Folk|Lizards]]. The Cats have bows and arrows and a bit of sorcery. The Lizards have laser rifles, [[Sticky Bomb|Sticky Bombs]] and ''[[Walking Tank|Walking Tanks]]'' that shoot ''[[Macross Missile Massacre|missiles]]''. The Cats lose their kingdom in ''one night''. They have a [[Hope Spot]] thanks to their [[Church Militant|Clerics]] and the Sword of Omens, but the appearance of [[The Dreaded]] ancient evil Mumm-Ra takes care of both.

** In "Song of the Petalars" the [[Tank Goodness|Thundertank]] takes down four [[Walking Tank|Walking Tanks]] without taking one hit, prompting a full-scare retreat of what remains of the Lizard Army.

** The very first episode is about Yoda utterly owning an entire droid army, then to add insult to the injury, he forces Ventress to retreat, with two casual gestures of his hand.

{{quote| '''King Katuunko''': He's noth worth a hundred droids. He worth a thousand.}}

** Ventess vs the Nightbrothers. Savage was the only to come near to matching her. Then at the end of the episode a transformed Savage executes a Jedi Master, his Padawan, and their clone soldiers without breaking a sweat.

** Anakin curbstomped the Daughter and the Son [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|simultaneously]], when they threatened to kill Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. Those are the guys representing the [[Sibling Yin-Yang|Light and Dark Sides of the Force]] respectively.

** The first one (which isn't seen but heavily implied) between the Huns and the Chinese army. Based on the aftermath Mulan and her friends see, it didn't go very well for the Chinese troops.

** Mulan herself later delivers one to the Hun Army when she uses a rocket to cause an avalanche, destroying nearly all of the Huns in the process.
