* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'':
** It has Him, who is a clear [[Expy]] of the [[Satan]], who is the embodiment of everything evil, be [[Camp Gay]]. Make of that what you will.
** A disturbingly creepy [[Black Comedy Rape|running gag]] in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'' is that villain Mojo Jojo is [[Prison Rape|raped]] when he goes to prison by fellow inmates. The first example was the ending of "Cootie Gras", where in a large inmate glares meaningfully at Mojo as Mojo displays a worried look, while the narrator significantly says [[Double Standard Rape (Male On Male)|"Love is in the air! Can't you just feel it?"]]
** A similar scene happens in "Monkey See Doggy Two", only as Mojo is turned into a dog and sent to the pound, with another Dog. Most recently, the 10th anniversary/final episode special "Powerpuff Girls Rule!" had one last shout-out to this running gag, as a fellow prisoner embraces Mojo much to Mojo's dismay.
* ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'':
** The episode "Amazonian Women In The Mood" has Fry, Zapp and Kif sentenced to death by [[Unusual Euphemism|snu-snu]]. The snu-snu part is encouraging, but the death part is less so. However, Fry and Zapp are exhausted after several women, to the point where Fry pleads with an Amazonian woman "Can't we just cuddle?" and even Zapp, a large, womanising git is requesting a breather. That's right, Fry and Zapp got raped by women about 12 feet tall. And it was [[Played for Laughs]].
** Just to increase the show's count of [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]], the episode "In-a-Gadda-da-Leela" ends with {{spoiler|Leela raping Zapp}}. ([[Aliens Made Them Do It]]; neither of them wanted to.)
* ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'':
** "You May Now Kiss...":
Line 102:
** The episode "Lisa the Drama Queen" has a particularly [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: "[[Crapsack World|The real world is supposed to suck, deal with it, and any form of escapism or fantasy is wrong]]." As was mentioned elsewhere, some anvils need to be [[Unfortunate Implications|left in the blacksmith shop]].
** The episode "The Monkey Suit" in which Lisa fights against Ned Flanders in the evolutionism/creationism debate can be seen to fall into this category. Not only does it present a very [[Hollywood Science]] view of the evolution debate, but it portrays every Christian character as being arrogant, [[Straw Hypocrite|close-minded fanatics with no capacity to even acknowledge other people's views]]. Also when [[Hollywood Atheist|Lisa]] holds the secret evolution lessons, the people there are her, Martin and Database ([[My Friends and Zoidberg|Milhouse is there too, but he doesn't count]]) - in other words, the "smart" people, implying that one cannot be clever if one believes in creationism.
** One episode had Marge at home alone with Maggie, who she purposely wakes up so she can comfort her and feel needed. Some creepy, [
* Averted with ''[[The Smurfs]]'' [[Animated Adaptation]] of the comic book story "The Black Smurfs" when the production company decided to recolor the infected Smurfs as purple.
* In an episode of ''[[Wakfu (Animation)|Wakfu]]'' Sadlygrove gets kidnapped by a quartet of princesses who were cursed; for being bitchy and shallow, they were turned various varieties of ugly, and would remain so until they inspired a man to give one of them a genuine kiss. Any man that kissed them under duress would be turned into a frog, and also the curse wouldn't be broken. Their tower is ''full of frogs''. The [[Beauty Equals Goodness|least deformed]] of the four eventually has an attack of conscience and lets Grovy go before the other three can force him to kiss them like they did the others, and, moved by the honor he sees in her heart, he blows her a kiss, which is totally good enough for the curse. Then they go right back to the behavior that got them cursed in the first place. So...once a shallow bitch, always a shallow bitch?
* The ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents (Animation)|The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' episode "Twistory" has Timmy accidentally alter history causing the US to remain a British colony. Not too bad. But, then the episode portrays nearly ''everyone'' as being stereotypically British with over-the-top [[British Accents|Cockney accents]], poor hygene, and somehow being stuck in the 1700s. When you combine that with the stereotype that [[Eagle Land|American's think they are the reason anything good has happened in (relatively) modern history]], the episode can get rather awkward. (Incidentally, this episode is almost ''never'' shown in reruns.)
* ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' had a similar episode involving Mad Mod turning Jump City British. Of course, it was dissuaded a bit by Cyborg saying [[Lampshade Hanging|"Man, I bet REAL British people hate that guy!"]] and the fact that the episode was one big [[Shout
* G1 ''[[My Little Pony]]'' had a pony named "Gypsy". She's an orange mare with tambourines for her Cutie Mark who never appeared in the cartoons. However her British description is rather stereotypical: ''Gypsy entertains the ponies with her dances - twirling around as she taps out of the rhythm on her tambourine. As she runs past, her ribbon leaves a colorful trail for all to see.''
** There's a G3 pony called "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nwt0llw9uQ Fiesta Flair]" who premiered in the cartoon. She has a (sort of?) Mexican accent, a Spanish-themed name, plays maracas in the cartoon, and her a maraca themed Cutie Mark. Due to the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of all this Hasbro never released her toy.
