* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' examples:
** This is [[
** Likewise, Daffy Duck has his "Oh, no, not again" moments, or alternatively:
{{quote|''"... mother."''}}
*** Most [[Warner Brothers]] characters say that or "... mother." See: Sylvester the Cat and even [[Bugs Bunny]].
** In a lot of cartoons with Yosemite Sam, he thinks he has gotten the better of Bugs, only to realize he's in trouble, and goes from an [[Evil Gloating]] to an [[Evil Laugh]] and then to an [[Oh, Crap!]] rather quickly. For example, in "Hare Lift" when he parachutes out of the plane with his stolen money:
{{quote|'''Sam:''' [[So Long, Suckers!| So long, sucker!]] [[Evil Laugh| Ah, ha, hah, hah, hah!]] Ah, hah, hah, hah, hah! Ah, hah... ''(Notices he's about to land right in the middle of some angry police officers.}'' Ah huh... Uh uh... ''(Lands)'' [[Oh Crap| Oooh]]!}}
** Even Bugs Bunny had a couple of moments like this; once in a [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]] when he sees the Hyde-like monster behind him, and again when he accidentally takes off in a rocket and looks down to see the Earth falling away below him...
*** [[Chuck Jones]] is clearly the undisputed master of the cartoon Oh Crap face.
Line 20:
** Also, from "Hereafter":
{{quote|'''Kalibak:''' I just flattened Wonder Woman! You really think you can beat me?
'''Batman:''' [[My Defense Need Not Protect Me Forever|I'm not trying]] to ''beat'' you. I'm trying to ''stall'' you.
'''Kalibak:''' Stall me? For what? ''(turns to see Superman behind him)'' Aw-- ''(punched in the face)'' }}
** At the very end of "Secret Society", we are treated to a gorilla's [[Oh Crap]] face after Grodd attempts to use his psychic attack on Superman, who manages to resist enough to [[Finger-Poke of Doom|flick Grodd in the nose, sending him flying]]. A little earlier, Shade had one on as Superman, in the blink of an eye, interposed between his fist and Batman.
Line 34:
** From the JLU episode ''Grudge Match''. Hawkgirl, Vixen, Black Canary and Huntress, four of the toughest women in the League, have just shrugged off the mind control forcing them to fight each other. They stand ready to face the villain...who brings out a mind-controlled [[Wonder Woman]]. Four to one odds and they're still in big trouble.
{{quote|'''Vixen:''' Anyone got a plan?
'''Hawkgirl:''' Yeah. [[Try Not to Die|Try to stay alive]].
'''Huntress:''' Anybody got a ''good'' plan? }}
** This one takes most of the episode "Far From Home" to set up. Supergirl, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern are abducted to the 31th Century by Brainiac 5, who is nearly clobbered by Supergirl before he can explain that he's a ''good'' guy, unlike that OTHER Brainiac. The two eventually hit it off.
{{quote|'''Superman:''' So this boy she likes -- does he have a name?
'''Green Lantern and Green Arrow''': ([[Crowning Moment of Funny|Priceless facial expression, then fade to black]].) }}
Line 76:
** Crowning one goes to the opening of season 2, where Azula and her elite guard almost tricked Zuko and Iroh onto the Fire Nation boat. When the captain uttered "we're taking the prisoners home", not only does he get an Oh Crap face, but so does Azula, Iroh and Zuko. 4 for the price of 1!
*** Iroh doesn't really give an [[Oh Crap]] face as he suspected this kind of treachery. His face was more of a "Time to kick ass" face.
*** And Azula's wasn't really an [[Oh Crap]] face either. It was more of a "[[You Have Failed Me...|you idiot!]]" face, as she was looking directly at the captain.
** The Earthbender general in "The Avatar State" gets one when he realizes that Aang in the Avatar State is not too happy with him.
** One more for Azula (as the show's resident [[Magnificent Bastard]], she doesn't get too many herself), during the season two finale when Aang collapses the rock formation she's clinging to. Particularly notable as the only time we ever hear her ''gasp in fear''.
Line 131:
** "And now a word from our new sponsor...'''PERCODAN?!?''' AW CRAP!"
* All Good Guys present in Realix (and quite some fans too) had this reaction when [[Winx Club|Bloom]] ignored Sky and continued to give [[Big Bad|Darkar]] the Ultimate Power.
* Megabyte from ''[[
** Later that same episode, {{spoiler|after Matrix defeats him, and [[Cruel Mercy|refuses to kill him]], Megabyte prepares to escape Mainframe ''anyway'' by using a portal to the Supercomputer. Then Mouse hacks the portal to send him to the Web, instead.}} His reaction when his last gambit fails says it all.
* Played for ''raucous'' laughs in an episode of ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]''. One of his new jobs in a long string of job hunting results is him working at what is for all intents and purposes a ''phone sex'' setup (this series got ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|a lot]]'' under the radar). Of course, when he and the person on the other line recognize one another's voices...
Line 189:
* Invoked numerous times on ''[[Sealab 2021]]'', but especially notable during Quinn's [[Mushroom Samba]] episode with the seal,Stinky Pete, being chased by a shark.
{{quote|'''Stinky Pete:''' Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, OH CRAP ON A CRAP CRACKER!!}}
* Used repeatedly by the Urpneys (especially Frizz) in ''[[The Dreamstone]]'', usually when a plan goes horribly wrong or [[Bad Boss|Zordrak]] goes into one of his [[Unstoppable Rage|epic tantrums]] [[You Have Failed Me...|as a result]].
** Played with in the episode "Electric Eggs", after the Urpneys bump into Rufus and Amberley, expecting the worst, only for the latter to perform this trope as well and run for it.
* Flint has this look in the ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' episode "The Gamesmaster" when the Gamesmaster stands up from his chair and is revealed to be over ten feet tall.
Line 202:
* In the pilot episode of ''Star Wars:Rebels'', ISB Agent Kallus has the titular small rag-tag band of Rebels pinned down by his detachment of stormtroopers as they're trying to rescue some Wookie slaves. Their escape ship is being driven off by TIE fighters, they're surrounded and pinned down, and they've got nowhere to go. Kallus starts smiling as Kanan deliberately leaves cover to walk straight into the fire of a dozen blasters, apparently trying to commit suicide by stormtrooper... and stops smiling as he realizes that somehow, Kanan is dodging every blaster bolt that comes at him. [[The Reveal|And then Kanan ignites his lightsaber.]] The heretofore absolutely unflappable Kallus immediate ''takes a step back in fear and stutters'', and his expression is ''priceless''.
{{quote|'''Agent Kallus:''' All troopers! Focus your fire on... (gulps) ... on the ''Jedi''.}}
** And given a wonderful call back in the season 2 opener, when the entire Rebel team finds out who the latest Imperial operative sent out to capture them is. Specifically, that it's '''Darth Vader'''. But the real Oh Crap moment doesn't come until after they've already had the tar beaten out of them in a very short and one-sided fight, that is interrupted when Sabine uses a demolition charge to drop an entire AT-ST walker on top of Vader. Just as they're sighing in relief... the flaming wreckage of the scout walker suddenly lurches upward, to reveal that Vader has been levitating the entire mass using the Force, that it never even touched him, and that now he's ''pissed''. As the red lightsaber re-ignites our heroes immediately turn and flee in abject terror, and who can blame them?
