** For ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVolume3'', all of the villains at Villains Pub Hate the High Evolutionary for how utterly cruel and petty he is.

* JustEatGilligan:
** In "How ''Attack of the Clones'' Should Have Ended", when Dooku decides to flee and uses the Force to cause a giant metal cylinder thing to fall towards the wounded Anakin and Obi-Wan, in the hope of distracting Yoda, instead of slowly tossing it aside, like he does in the film, Yoda throws it at Dooku's ship, totaling it, making Dooku unable to escape and results in his arrest, preventing the Clone War from starting.
** In "How ''Revenge of the Sith'' Should Have Ended", when Anakin finds out that Palpatine is in fact, Darth Sidious, the Sith lord behind everything that went wrong, he decides to not stay in place and let Palpatine influence him into possibly going to the dark side. Instead, he decides to call Mace Windu via hologram and tell him to get over the chancellor's office and stop him, instead of just going to Mace in person, after Palpatine has put some influence into Anakin. And thus Palpatine is curbstomped by Mace and his three Jedi companions that accompany him, who are prepared for Palpatine's attack, unlike in the film, and thus, preventing Order 66, Anakin never goes to the Dark Side, he and Padmé manage to deliver Luke and Leia, and everybody lives happily after.
** A villainous example occurs in "How ''The Force Awakens'' Should Have Ended". When Phasma is apprehended by Han, Finn, and Chewie, rather than lowering the shields of Starkiller Base like a DirtyCoward, she takes advantage of being at a control panel and alerts the base to their presence, thus preventing the shield from being lowered.

''How It Should Have Ended'' is an Internet parody series depicting alternate endings for popular movies. It was started by Daniel Baxter and Tommy Watson, featuring Tina Alexander. The episodes are hand drawings given animation, and augmented with special effects and music. Each features an original "ending" that ranges from crazy awesome {{crossover}}s, to ridiculous and funny developments, to deconstructing it by [[KillHimAlready simply shooting the villain]] [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim or the hero]], or [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third, sensible action]]. It also hosts featurettes such as the ''Super Café'' SpinOff, the ''Hero Swap'' crossover spinoff and some comics.

* TheJailbaitWait: In ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989,'' as Prince Eric (18) finds out Ariel is 16 as they are about to get married, he runs away exclaiming "Let's talk again in two years!!" as he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere jumps off the ship]] the wedding is taking place on.

* DisneyDeath: Discussed in "How ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'' Should Have Ended", after Batman points out that quite a few denizens of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse had their deaths become either undone or revealed as fake (never mind the fact that Batman faked his own death in ''[[spoiler:Film/TheDarkKnightRises]]'').[[note]]Specific Marvel-related examples either mentioned or referenced during this scene include [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Nick Fury]], [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Coulson]], [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Tony Stark]], [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld Loki]], and [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Groot]].[[/note]]

* ShaggyDogStory: The first video on Film/AvengersInfinityWar ends with Thor successfully chopping off Thanos' arm and claiming the Infinity Gauntlet himself. Despite smugly declaring himself the ruler of Earth, the last few minutes sees him resurrect Gamora and all of the heroes gathered together in the Super Cafe (alongside Batman and Superman) and congratulating each other over a job well done and trading a lot of genuinely friendly and upbeat conversations. Then [[Film/ThorRagnarok Korg]] starts the jukebox and Thor, caught up in the song, [[BadassFingersnap snaps his fingers]]...''with the hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet,'' cue MassOhCrap, followed by all the villains in the Villain Pub, with the exception of [[spoiler:Loki]] dissolving into dust, along with presumably everyone else in the universe.
