Team Rocket Wins: Difference between revisions

** On a lighter note, he also won in two episodes, one where the robot he sent lost the showdown, but he stole all the monk's Sheng Gong Wu (in the "shake the heroes out of their comfort zone" model), and another where Omi actually loses due to misusing a shen gong wu, and the episode has a downer ending. Despite being an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]], hes had several [[Near Villain Victory|Near Villain Victories]] as well.

* One ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short (the made-for-TV short "Soup Or Sonic") has [[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner|Wile E. Coyote catching the Roadrunner]]. Of course, the coyote has shrunk down to a comically puny size so the Roadrunner is '''much''' bigger than him. Wile E. [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this by]] [[No Fourth Wall|pointing out to the audience that he has absolutely no clue what to do next.]]

** A bumper on ''The Road Runner Show'' (CBS, 1966-68; ABC, 1971-72) had the coyote diverting the Road Runner's attention by drawing a portrait of the two, the coyote in the drawing with a rifle in hand. The coyote grabs the Road Runner's neck only to have the coyote drawing blast him in the ass with the rifle.

** Also Elmer Fudd defeated Bugs at his own game in ''Rabbit Rampage'' (a semi remake of ''[[Duck Amuck]]'') as well as in ''Hare Brush'' (albeit due to something of a personality exchange, with an insane Elmer "turning" into Bugs). He also finally "killed da wabbit" in ''What's Opera Doc'' ([[My God, What Have I Done?|though didn't really find victory all that satisfying]]).

* Four [[Popeye]] cartoons have Bluto/Brutus winning, but it was all precipiated by Popeye himself:

** In ''Hospitaliky'' (1937) and ''For Better Or Nurse'' (1945), Popeye and Bluto are both jockeying to severely injure themselves so they can get close to nurse Olive at the hospital. Popeye ends up force-feeding his spinach to Bluto, who delivers the necessary punishment to send Popeye to the hopsital. ''I Bin Sculped'' (1961) has Popeye and Brutus vying to be Olive's model for a statue depicting a tired, beat-up specimen. Again, Popeye gives Brutus his spinach. He does so again in ''Round The World In 80 Days'' (1960) as a means to win a global race (Brutus socks Popeye on the chin and it sends Popeye circumnavigating the globe to the race's finish).

'''Popeye:''' Oh, yeah? Well, ''one'' of us is goin' to the hospital...(''takes out spinach'') and it '''''ain't you!!''''' }}

** Brutus actually comes up smelling like a rose at the end of ''The Day The Ball Went Over'' (1960) without even laying a finger on Popeye, whose nitroglycerine-laced ping-pong ball explodes on him when he intended to have it explode on Brutus.
