Line 599:
* ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' has the organization MECH attempt to steal a nuclear device from "an unarmed civilian truck". The Autobots [[Curb Stomp Battle|trash]] the attacking cars, without bothering to transform.
* An episode of ''[[Futurama]]'' had Bender constantly harrassing a thin robot sitting in front of him at the movies. Finally he has enough and challenges him to "fisticuffs". Bender laughs...[[Oh Crap|until he transforms into a much scarier form]]. Turns out he was a professional robot fighter.
* ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' has several:
**
** Jervis Tech's first appearance in "Mad as a Hatter". He hadn't quite become the Mad Hatter yet, but when escorting his date Alice through the park, two muggers accosted them, and he quickly used his mind control devices on them. After doing so, he ordered them to "go jump in the river". They took it literally, climbing to the top of a bridge to do so.
** Joker ends up begging Batman to save him from some particularly crazy/tricky victims of his crimes in "Beware the Creeper" and "Joker's Favor".
** Speaking of which, "Joker's Favor" starts out with one of these moments. Normal Joe Charlie Collins has had a bad day, and so when a car cuts him off on the freeway, It's [[The Last Straw]] and he begins to yell at the other driver- until he gets a close look and sees that the other driver is ''The Joker''.

* In ''[[Invader Zim]],'' Iggins learns the hard way why it is ''not'' a good idea to withhold the Game Slave 2 from [[Creepy Child|Gaz.]] How? She follows him all the way to his house, writes "the game is mine" on the bathroom mirror, appears in the door, steals all the batteries in the house to keep him from getting to the save point on the game, causes the elevator to malfunction ''when he's still in it,'' and finally throws him down said elevator shaft.
* In a [[Distant Finale|future episode]] of ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'' Jimbo, Dolf, and Kerney try to mug Lisa and Milhouse, who are now married. Unfortunately for them, Milhouse is now a zombie for some reason, and not having to breathe means no more cowardly bouts of asthma attacks. He defends Lisa and has the three for lunch - [[Brain Food|literally.]]
