* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]'', the Flim Flam Brothers win the contest with Applejack by producing far more barrels of cider than she and the rest of the Mane 6. {{spoiler|In the process, they not only manage to alienate the town with their [[Jerkass]] behavior, but also had to shut off the quality assurance of their machine to win. The resulting cider is so unappetizing that nopony is willing to buy or take for free. Faced with an angry mob, they have no choice but to pack up and leave.}}
* In one episode of ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]'', the villain is a demoness trying to perform a ritual that will rescue her father, the dreaded Kordoth the Conqueror, a legendary warlord who was banished to the spirit world centuries ago for unspecified crimes. June fails to halt the ritual and Kordoth is freed, but he's hardly a threat anymore; he's ''really'' let himself go during the interim, having grown obese and sluggish from eating donuts.
* ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]''; the "Tablet of Time" two-parter was this for the Kingpin. In his goal to obtain the Tablet, his wife was kidnapped, and though she is rescued unharmed, she decides to leave him at the end, despite his pleas. The Kingpin winds up with the Tablet, which he had wanted in the first place, but he orders Hammerhead to get rid of it. "The sight of it sickens me," he growls.
