Line 337:
* In one episode of ''[[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', Sonic is made sheriff of an old-western town and is set up to participate in a shoot-out with some of Robotnik's robots. However, Sonic reveals that he's a real poor shot - he can't even hit the broad side of a barn! It takes some quick maneuvering for the hedgehog to take out his foes.
* Lampshaded in an episode of ''[[American Dad]]'' where three [[Triads And Tongs|Chinese Mafia]] members fail to hit Stan. One remarks on how unlikely it is that they'd all miss, and another says that not killing people is his New Year's Resolution.
* Heroic example: In an episode of ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters]]'', Jake's attempt to use the Dematerializer on a dragon melting the Arctic results in an [[Epic Fail]] because, as he claims, he misses. The dragon is the size of a mountain, as Eddie quickly mentions; exactly how Jake could miss isn't clear, as it happens offscreen, but it was obviously a [[Plot Tunnel]] to make the heroes' job harder.
* ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' was a series where both the good guys ''and'' bad guys seemed to have lousy aim, [[Never Say "Die"|at least against living opponents]]; the whole idea of the [[Mecha-Mooks| B.A.T.S.]] (which could be gunned down without any moral issues) being introduced may have been to make the heroes look more competent.
** Speaking of Mecha-Mooks, one episode has Flint use the bad aim of a group of them to insult Cobra Commander, asking the villain if he programmed them himself. Later, Flint is able to fight back efficiently after stealing one of their weapons, proving that the rifles themselves aren't the problem.
