* ''WesternAnimation/JaneAndTheDragon'': Both straight and subverted with Jane Turnkey. One episode shows she can't even perform scales without screeching like a sickly cat. Yet that's her singing the show's theme song.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', Jazz's singing is yet another misuse of the term tone deaf. But not as severe as Tucker who ''abuses'' this trope.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', the episode "Sonic's Song" has Robotnik singing horribly off-key. Considering his voice actor is famed Blues musician Long John Baldry, this qualifies as a meta-joke.

Misery (while awake) does sing in the top-of-her-lungs, randomly-pitched shrieking wail that exemplifies this trope, but it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], as she appears to actually ''be'' [[OurBansheesAreLouder a banshee.]] They still produced a ''Ruby Gloom'' image single in Japan, though, with a professional singer portraying Ruby. All three eventually develop into fine singers, so their early stumbles can be dismissed as rookie mistakes. Or the No-Talent Ball. Whichever.
* Clash from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' is a groupie who really wants to be a part of The Misfits but can't actually sing or play instruments. "One Jem Too Many" has her masquerading as Jem to ruin her reputation. Her disguise was perfect until she was challenged by Jem to sing. People outright threw tomatoes at her.
* Happened in ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' when Francine attempted to play the drums while singing. What ensues resembles nothing so much as a sick eagle wrestling a cat in a tumble dryer. In the end, it turns out she can sing just fine; she just can't do both at once. In another episode, she sings "There's-Nothing-to-Do-Today Day" in an ImagineSpot. Cut back to the real world, she tries to reprise the song and it comes out... a little off, but believably so.
** Arthur himself also reveals be his in ''Elwood City Turns 100!'', so much that Francine actually tries to help him (with little-to-no success).
* In an episode of ''Disney's WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', Doug and the gang discover that Patti is a terrible singer when she tries to perform her entry in the "Bluffington anthem" contest. They spent the rest of the episode trying to stop her from performing it at the contest without actually letting her know she can't sing. Sadly, this casually disregards a few episodes of the original series in which Patti sings passably. Of course, given the reception of the Disney version, we might [[FanonDisContinuity disregard the retcon]].
** In one of the Nick episodes, Doug, Skeeter and Porkchop heard Mr. Dink howling in agony. They run to his house to find a video of Mr. Dink singing rather horribly.
-->'''Mr. Dink:''' I made it this morning. Do you like it?\\
'''Skeeter:''' Like it? We thought you were dying!\\
'''Mr. Dink:''' ''(stops the tape)'' What was that, Skeeter?\\
'''Doug:''' He said we were ''dying'' to hear your song.\\
'''Mrs. Dink:''' Right you are the first time, boys.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', Coop uses his mediocre singing [[MakeMeWannaShout as a weapon]], "The Jammer". To specify, it's the one weapon Megas has that Coop considers cruel to use and has more safety measures preventing its activation than Megas' NUKES!!! Although Coop's singing isn't all that terrible, more flat than horribly off-key. The extreme sonic amplification is what makes it devasating.
* [[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Huckleberry Hound]] ("Oh m'darlin', oh m'darlin', oh m'daaaaaaaaaaaarlin' what's her naaaaaaaaaaaaaaame...") and WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw are both examples, since they were voiced by Creator/DawsButler, who could sing rather well.
** WesternAnimation/YakkyDoodle was as well. An episode even revolved around his lack of ability to sing.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'': "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! (Glass shatters) I'M A FRIENDLY ARMADILOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M A GENTLE PUSSY WILLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
* Henry on ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'', especially if you compare it to June's singing (which is angelic, even if she's kinda devilish).
* Invoked by Creator/SethMacFarlane as the plot demands on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. One of the characters he voices can be a stellar singer in one episode and totally amateur the next. Seth has perfect pitch in real life and is freakishly good at staying just out of tune enough to sound believably bad; see episode "The King is Dead" featuring Brian (fantastic) and Peter (awful) back to back. Even better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI3IHahHQIg the actual episode version of Peter's ''I Need a Jew'' (off-key and mediocre)]] vs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5ODzIylqKg a live performance (perfect)]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In "The Show Stoppers," Scootaloo's singing voice is so horribly off-key it helps her team unintentionally win an award for best comedic act in a talent show. She does a rather better job in "One Bad Apple".
** Pinkie Pie, whose talent for singing random songs out of nowhere is legendary, throws pitch and meter out the window when she sings about Zecora in "Bridle Gossip".
** Sweetie Belle, normally the best singer of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, screeches her way through a campfire song in "Sleepless in Ponyville". Justified in that she's singing a G-rated version of "99 bottles of beer", which is supposed to be sung as terribly as possible.
** Sweetie Belle tries to conduct Scootaloo and Apple Bloom in "On Your Marks" and grows annoyed that neither of them can carry a tune. In what could be seen as an animated take on GameplayAndStorySegregation, about a minute later Apple Bloom is given a solo song and pulls it off perfectly.
* Leela is such a bad singer on ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' that when she tried to sing Whitney Houston, she convinced the Omicronions that Earth was launching a surprise attack. Katey Sagal, as mentioned earlier, is a very good singer.
* Invoked by the producers of ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' with the character Bloberta Puppington who was played by Britta Phillips ([[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} a Truly Outrageous! woman]]) known for her powerful vocals, she was directed to sing loud and off-key when it came to Bloberta's enthusiasm for singing even though she couldn't sing.
* The ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' episode "The Crimson Binome" has Bob singing along wordlessly and horrendously off-key to his music player. It's hilariously dreadful.
* Eddie in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdz}}'' sings so badly that his entire class begs him to stop. As does his family after he breaks some dishes.
* Girl racer Ninki in Creator/TheBBC's pre-school show ''Kerwhizz'' sometimes breaks horribly into song, causing her canine companion Pip to howl in agony.
* Angelica from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' is inconsistent about this. It's justified seeing that most kids at age three don't really know how to sing well yet. However, it's revealed in ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' when she's not tone deaf for the sake of comedy or the plot, her singing voice is actually decent.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePebblesAndBammBammShow'', Bamm-Bamm had a thoroughly awful singing voice -- unless he was taking a shower, in which case his voice suddenly and inexplicably became gorgeous. Chances are, Jay North voiced ''both'' versions of Bamm-Bamm's singing voice. You can imagine the exaggerated bad notes of the "bad" voice....
** That episode was basically a {{recycled|Script}} episode of its [[SpinOff parent show]], ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''. In the episode "[[http://www.avclub.com/article/flintstone-canaries-gave-barney-chance-croon-tune-234764 The Flintstone Canaries]]", Fred forms a barbershop quartet with Barney (and two other guys), but soon discovers that Barney can only sing well while taking a bath.

* Whenever Elmyra in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' sings, it usually sounds very goofy and childlike. Cree Summer is actually a very good singer and has released an album. Unlike Elmyra's, her singing much more mature and perhaps menacing.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''. Made even funnier considering his voice is basically an Music/ElvisPresley [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed impersonation.]]
* A ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight'' short has Nell having such a bad singing voice, that it puts the audience to sleep, giving Snidely the idea of making her a "star" so he can pickpocket the sleeping listeners.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E17LaunchpadsFirstCrash Launchpad's First Crash]]", Launchpad plays his harmonica, and Scrooge says the sound is "torture". This leads to a {{Flashback}} story of the time they first met, where he's able to use it to confuse some giant bat monsters who use echolocation to fly in the dark.
** Regarding the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' reboot, in what's probably a predictable move, Donald's nigh [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] voice isn't any better when he sings...which is ''exactly'' what they needed to kill a [[ManEatingPlant duck-eating plant]]. Still, that doesn't stop [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros Jose and Panchito]] from side-eyeing Donald while he sings.
-->'''Huey:''' Uncle Donald, your voice is terrible! ''Keep singing!''
* Sticks on ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', depicted by her cacophonous nonsensical singing in "Sleeping Giant". Knuckles compares it to bagpipes being eaten by a woodchipper. Amy's singing is only slightly more tolerable, particularly in "The Sidekick".
* Kahn Souphanousinphone on ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' sings '80s pop songs in horribly off-key fashion every chance he gets. There's even an episode where he becomes a karaoke star, much to his father-in-law's dismay.
* In Episode 89 of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', almost the entire cast of characters is shown to be wonderful singers... but most other episodes show them singing horribly off-key.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' has Timmy having a singing voice so bad, he can't even be in the school's play. He then uses Cosmo and Wanda's help to have a voice like Chip Skylark--[[GoneHorriblyRight with disastrous results]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' has Stimpy portrayed as this in the Games Animations-era episode "Hermit Ren", where he butchers Kumbaya, despite having previously appeared on the "You Eediot" music CD where he sings quite well.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBeatles'' episode "I'll Be Back," three outlaws try to steal the boys' thunder and are immediately pelted off the stage with rotten fruit and vegetables. Their "singing" was actually a Beatles recording of "Ticket To Ride" distorted on purpose.
* In one ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' short, Shannon sings a commercial {{Jingle}} for Boxmore. [[StylisticSuck She sounds just as bad as you would expect a teenage girl with zero vocal training to sound]]. Her actor, Creator/KariWahlgren, can sing perfectly well, but is quite good at sounding believably out of tune.
* ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'': In "Duped", the shape-shifting criminal Marvin Roper/Replikon fancies himself an awesome singer and tries to break into the music business, but everyone agrees he sucks.
----
* As seen in the ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Hidden Talent", hitting high notes is one of the few things Kim ''can't'' do. (However, her voice actress Christy Carlton Romano is -- like many Disney Channel stars -- a trained professional singer.)
** Though otherwise, she's a fantastic singer.
* ''WesternAnimation/JaneAndTheDragon'': Both straight and subverted with Jane Turnkey. One episode shows she can't even perform scales without screeching like a sickly cat. Yet that's her singing the show's theme song.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', Jazz's singing is yet another misuse of the term tone deaf. But not as severe as Tucker who ''abuses'' this trope.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', the episode "Sonic's Song" has Robotnik singing horribly off-key. Considering his voice actor is famed Blues musician Long John Baldry, this qualifies as a meta-joke.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': Carl and Sheen. Compared to Sheen's singing, Carl's is angelic. No really, Sheen's singing voice is really horrible. However, in ''Attack of the Twonkies'', Sheen's singing voice proved useful in stopping the horrible beasts the eponymous creatures turn into from exposure to music. His singing merely put his Twonkie to sleep because it was so bad that the Twonkies couldn't even register it as music. In the end, as reward for helping save the town, Sheen gets the solo for the school play, and finally gets to perform his singing...from inside ''a soundproof glass booth.''
* In ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', the Scotsman's bagpipe-playing is ''really'' bad. This actually comes in useful in "The Scottsman Saves Jack" when his playing proves an efficient counter for the Sirens' enchanting singing. In addition, the Siren's singing can't hypnotize the Scotsman because he thinks it is ugly and he can't stand it.
* Peewit (from ''ComicBook/JohanAndPeewit'', Harmony Smurf, and Sassette in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs''.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' episode "Unsung Heroes", Ruby and Iris sing in off-key, off-rhythm shouts that, although still not totally realistic, are not as overdone as some examples of this trope. Misery (while awake) does sing in the top-of-her-lungs, randomly-pitched shrieking wail that exemplifies this trope, but it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], as she appears to actually ''be'' [[OurBansheesAreLouder a banshee.]] They still produced a ''Ruby Gloom'' image single in Japan, though, with a professional singer portraying Ruby. All three eventually develop into fine singers, so their early stumbles can be dismissed as rookie mistakes. Or the No-Talent Ball. Whichever.
* Clash from ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' is a groupie who really wants to be a part of The Misfits but can't actually sing or play instruments. "One Jem Too Many" has her masquerading as Jem to ruin her reputation. Her disguise was perfect until she was challenged by Jem to sing. People outright threw tomatoes at her.
* Happened in ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' when Francine attempted to play the drums while singing. What ensues resembles nothing so much as a sick eagle wrestling a cat in a tumble dryer. In the end, it turns out she can sing just fine; she just can't do both at once. In another episode, she sings "There's-Nothing-to-Do-Today Day" in an ImagineSpot. Cut back to the real world, she tries to reprise the song and it comes out... a little off, but believably so.
** Arthur himself also reveals be his in ''Elwood City Turns 100!'', so much that Francine actually tries to help him (with little-to-no success).
* In an episode of ''Disney's WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', Doug and the gang discover that Patti is a terrible singer when she tries to perform her entry in the "Bluffington anthem" contest. They spent the rest of the episode trying to stop her from performing it at the contest without actually letting her know she can't sing. Sadly, this casually disregards a few episodes of the original series in which Patti sings passably. Of course, given the reception of the Disney version, we might [[FanonDisContinuity disregard the retcon]].
** In one of the Nick episodes, Doug, Skeeter and Porkchop heard Mr. Dink howling in agony. They run to his house to find a video of Mr. Dink singing rather horribly.
-->'''Mr. Dink:''' I made it this morning. Do you like it?\\
'''Skeeter:''' Like it? We thought you were dying!\\
'''Mr. Dink:''' ''(stops the tape)'' What was that, Skeeter?\\
'''Doug:''' He said we were ''dying'' to hear your song.\\
'''Mrs. Dink:''' Right you are the first time, boys.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', Coop uses his mediocre singing [[MakeMeWannaShout as a weapon]], "The Jammer". To specify, it's the one weapon Megas has that Coop considers cruel to use and has more safety measures preventing its activation than Megas' NUKES!!! Although Coop's singing isn't all that terrible, more flat than horribly off-key. The extreme sonic amplification is what makes it devasating.
* [[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Huckleberry Hound]] ("Oh m'darlin', oh m'darlin', oh m'daaaaaaaaaaaarlin' what's her naaaaaaaaaaaaaaame...") and WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw are both examples, since they were voiced by Creator/DawsButler, who could sing rather well.
** WesternAnimation/YakkyDoodle was as well. An episode even revolved around his lack of ability to sing.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'': "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! (Glass shatters) I'M A FRIENDLY ARMADILOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M A GENTLE PUSSY WILLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"
* Henry on ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'', especially if you compare it to June's singing (which is angelic, even if she's kinda devilish).
* Invoked by Creator/SethMacFarlane as the plot demands on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. One of the characters he voices can be a stellar singer in one episode and totally amateur the next. Seth has perfect pitch in real life and is freakishly good at staying just out of tune enough to sound believably bad; see episode "The King is Dead" featuring Brian (fantastic) and Peter (awful) back to back. Even better [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI3IHahHQIg the actual episode version of Peter's ''I Need a Jew'' (off-key and mediocre)]] vs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5ODzIylqKg a live performance (perfect)]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In "The Show Stoppers," Scootaloo's singing voice is so horribly off-key it helps her team unintentionally win an award for best comedic act in a talent show. She does a rather better job in "One Bad Apple".
** Pinkie Pie, whose talent for singing random songs out of nowhere is legendary, throws pitch and meter out the window when she sings about Zecora in "Bridle Gossip".
** Sweetie Belle, normally the best singer of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, screeches her way through a campfire song in "Sleepless in Ponyville". Justified in that she's singing a G-rated version of "99 bottles of beer", which is supposed to be sung as terribly as possible.
** Sweetie Belle tries to conduct Scootaloo and Apple Bloom in "On Your Marks" and grows annoyed that neither of them can carry a tune. In what could be seen as an animated take on GameplayAndStorySegregation, about a minute later Apple Bloom is given a solo song and pulls it off perfectly.
* Leela is such a bad singer on ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' that when she tried to sing Whitney Houston, she convinced the Omicronions that Earth was launching a surprise attack. Katey Sagal, as mentioned earlier, is a very good singer.
* Invoked by the producers of ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' with the character Bloberta Puppington who was played by Britta Phillips ([[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} a Truly Outrageous! woman]]) known for her powerful vocals, she was directed to sing loud and off-key when it came to Bloberta's enthusiasm for singing even though she couldn't sing.
* The ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' episode "The Crimson Binome" has Bob singing along wordlessly and horrendously off-key to his music player. It's hilariously dreadful.
* Eddie in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdz}}'' sings so badly that his entire class begs him to stop. As does his family after he breaks some dishes.
* Girl racer Ninki in Creator/TheBBC's pre-school show ''Kerwhizz'' sometimes breaks horribly into song, causing her canine companion Pip to howl in agony.
* Angelica from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' is inconsistent about this. It's justified seeing that most kids at age three don't really know how to sing well yet. However, it's revealed in ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' when she's not tone deaf for the sake of comedy or the plot, her singing voice is actually decent.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePebblesAndBammBammShow'', Bamm-Bamm had a thoroughly awful singing voice -- unless he was taking a shower, in which case his voice suddenly and inexplicably became gorgeous. Chances are, Jay North voiced ''both'' versions of Bamm-Bamm's singing voice. You can imagine the exaggerated bad notes of the "bad" voice....
** That episode was basically a {{recycled|Script}} episode of its [[SpinOff parent show]], ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''. In the episode "[[http://www.avclub.com/article/flintstone-canaries-gave-barney-chance-croon-tune-234764 The Flintstone Canaries]]", Fred forms a barbershop quartet with Barney (and two other guys), but soon discovers that Barney can only sing well while taking a bath. Like father, like son?? (Wait a minute, wasn't Bamm-Bamm adopted?)
* Whenever Elmyra in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' sings, it usually sounds very goofy and childlike. Cree Summer is actually a very good singer and has released an album. Unlike Elmyra's, her singing much more mature and perhaps menacing.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''. Made even funnier considering his voice is basically an Music/ElvisPresley [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed impersonation.]]
* A ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight'' short has Nell having such a bad singing voice, that it puts the audience to sleep, giving Snidely the idea of making her a "star" so he can pickpocket the sleeping listeners.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E17LaunchpadsFirstCrash Launchpad's First Crash]]", Launchpad plays his harmonica, and Scrooge says the sound is "torture". This leads to a {{Flashback}} story of the time they first met, where he's able to use it to confuse some giant bat monsters who use echolocation to fly in the dark.
** Regarding the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' reboot, in what's probably a predictable move, Donald's nigh [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] voice isn't any better when he sings...which is ''exactly'' what they needed to kill a [[ManEatingPlant duck-eating plant]]. Still, that doesn't stop [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros Jose and Panchito]] from side-eyeing Donald while he sings.
-->'''Huey:''' Uncle Donald, your voice is terrible! ''Keep singing!''
