But villains are supposed to be evil, right? They can get away with doing all sorts of [[KickTheDog nasty things]] the moral guardians wouldn't approve of because they inevitably get [[KarmicDeath what's coming to them]] in [[HappilyEverAfter the end]]. But sometimes the guardians complain anyway, as if the viewers are too dumb to tell who's right and who's wrong (or the guardians might be afraid that EvilIsCool, in the mind of kids who like acting someone cool). It's like they don't ''want'' the bad guys to be evil... and, of course, since most of these moralists believe in BlackAndWhiteMorality, this attitude steers them dangerously close to LogicBomb territory.

* This was one reason why Creator/MarkHamill was cast as the Joker in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. The role was originally going to go to Creator/TimCurry, still one of the patron deities of the MonsterClown for his role in ''Film/IT1990'', but that fell through for two reasons. One was that the laugh threatened to damage Curry's throat, but the other was that Curry was ''too'' creepy for a role in what was ultimately a kids' show.

* In early ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'', before UsefulNotes/{{DVD}}, "Rack, Shack, and Benny" retold a Biblical story of idolatry, replacing chocolate bunnies for the idol. The bag guy, Mr. Nezzer, sang "The Bunny Song", with lyrics about neglecting parents, school, and church. The heroes achieve their moral victory by refusing to sing along--but the song was so ridiculously catchy that RealLife kids started singing it for real. The show responded, first by offering a "New & Improved Bunny Song", as sung by the [[HeelFaceTurn reformed Mr. Nezzer]], in their first sing-along video: the tune was the same, but the words were about getting a stomach ache from eating too many chocolate bunnies. ("I need to eat good food to help me to grow / I'll obey my mama, 'cause she loves me so.") And when his backing singers sang the same lyrics from the old song, Mr. Nezzer scolded them. Then, reprints of "Rack, Shack, and Benny" bowdlerized the villainous version of "The Bunny Song", to make it more focused on neglecting healthy food. Now, the original version of the song is only around at [[UsefulNotes/{{VCR}} VHS]] quality. You can see it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML0Ho2EgvwY here]].
