Cleaned up some examples


* Bowler Hat Guy in ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' is an incompetent example. Turns out, the Bowler Hat itself is a better villain.

to:

* The Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon has a few examples, though most deviate from the template in one way or another:
** Mr. Winkie the scheming bartender from ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'' was smug and untrustworthy, had a curly mustache on his face, and wore a purple tuxedo with necktie.
** [[WilyWalrus The Walrus]] in ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' has many Dastardly Whiplash-esque traits: wearing a top hat and a shabby tuxedo, carrying a cane, twirling his mustache and smoking a cigar, and coming up with an elaborate plan to lure some oysters into becoming lunch for him and The Carpenter (and then eating all the oysters by himself while the Carpenter is preparing to cook them).
** Captain Hook in ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' is basically what would happen if [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces Dick Dastardly]] swapped racing for piracy.
** Ratigan from ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' is a cackling criminal mastermind in a black suit and top-hat with a gold cane and black and red cape, similar to a vampire in some appearance. He is openly and enthusiastically evil, comes up with a convoluted plan to kill the hero, and he abuses and kills his henchmen at the slightest provocation.
** Dr. Facilier in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', out of homage to [[BorrowinSamedi a certain voodoo god]], is a skinny guy in a dark purple tuxedo and top-hat, but his mustache is too short and thin to be twirled.

Changed a spelling error, and expanded my Adventure Time examples.


* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' has one-shot villain, the Pie King. He is thin, with a handlebar moustache, pointy nose and a very flamboyant personality. Also, unlike the shows more complex villain, such as Ludo and Toffee, this guy is extremely one-dimensional, with all his evil acts being motivated purely by greed.
* The Ice King from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]]. During the first few seasons, he was a stereotypical cartoon villain, [[DamselInDistress kidnapping helpless women]] [[AbductionIsLove in order to force them to marry him]], amongst other crazy schemes. However [[spoiler: We soon learn that he used to be a normal man, and both is appearance and insane personality was due to being cursed by the crown]].
** His DistaffCounterpart, [[spoiler: and AuthorAvatar]] the Ice Queen, is a rare female example, [[DistressedDude who kidnaps men]].

* The Ice King from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]]. Whilst he has a full beard rather then a simple moustache, he has other physical traits, such as a long nose, slightly hunched posture and (DependingOnTheArtist) is LeanAndMean. During the first few seasons, he was a stereotypical cartoon villain, [[DamselInDistress kidnapping helpless women]] [[AbductionIsLove in order to force them to marry him]], amongst other crazy schemes. [[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat He even once cheated in a wizard battle, by useing weapons, despite the fact he can already make weapons out of ice]]. However [[spoiler: We soon learn that he used to be a normal man, and both is appearance and insane personality was due to being cursed by the crown]].
** His DistaffCounterpart, [[spoiler: and AuthorAvatar]] the Ice Queen, is a rare female example, [[DistressedDude who kidnaps men]]. She has a voice that sounds somewhat like a feminine version of Dick Dastardly, and her long eyebrows serve as a suitable substitute for the iconic moustache.

Subtrope of CardCarryingVillain and ObviouslyEvil; one of the more likely characters to play into EvilIsHammy. (If the character doesn't have the specific ''appearance'' of a Dastardly Whiplash, it's probably one of those tropes instead.) If it's treated as [[CaptainObviousReveal a surprise twist]] that he's a villain, that's an overlap with ObviousJudas.

* Professor Hinkle, the self-styled Evil Magician of ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman'' has the antiquated costume (though he loses the top hat), the handlebar moustache, the exaggerated mannerisms, and the general incompetence associated with this trope. The fact that he is voiced by Billy [=DeWolfe=] (see Live-Action Film, above) demonstrates the provenance of the character.
