Line 52:
* The ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' episode "Jet" revolves around the titular character trying to destroy a dam.
* [[The Smurfs (animation)|The Smurfs]] have a dam protecting their village from flooding. Many stories have the dam breaking or threatening to break, like in Smurfette's initial storyline, where she is actually an agent of Gargamel's trying to flood the village.
* The villain's plot in ''[[Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare|Scooby Doo Camp Scare]]'' involves dynamiting a dam to {{spoiler|get to a [[Buried Treasure]] in a [[Sunken City]].}}
* In the first episode of ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'', the Idea Men hold the city dam for ransom with explosives.
* In the [[Bugs Bunny]] cartoon "Wet Hare", villain Blaque Jacques Shellaque dams the stream that feeds the waterfall Bugs is using [[Waterfall Shower|to shower]]. Bugs keeps destroying the dam and Jacques keeps rebuilding it, until Bugs builds a dam of his own. Jacques blows it up, but Bugs has built a series of dams for him to destroy, leading up to the Grand Cooler Dam. In an inversion of this trope, Jacques' cannon doesn't destroy it; instead, the cannonball bounces back and knocks Jacques into a waiting police wagon.
* Seen in the "Mega X" episode of the ''[[Mega Man (animation)|Mega Man]]'' cartoon.
* ''[[Tom Goes to the Mayor]]'' episode "Bassfest" where the Mayor has the ''wonderful'' idea to hold a concert near a dam. A poorly built dam. Tom realizes that the vibrations from the music will cause it to break and tries to warn everyone or at least have the concert moved. But if you're familarfamiliar with the gist of this show, [[Failure Is the Only Option|you know how well that goes]].
