Go To

  • 101 Dalmatians:
    • It sneaks in a classic example: after the Badduns ram her into the ditch, you see Cruella bursting into tears of rage amid the parts of their wrecked vehicles while Jasper snarls "Ah, shaddap!" The scene then changes to Roger and Anita listening to his song "Cruella De Vil" on the radio. After he turns it off, Anita remarks that the song was his "first big hit" which "made more money than [they] had ever dreamed of."
    • It continues in the first part of the 2003 sequel 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure: Cruella's car's been reassembled, but only just enough to still be considered a car. It barely runs anymore, it leaves a trail of parts behind it as she tries to drive it, and finally what's left of it collapses into a heap on top of her. Just to add the final touch to the conga, the first thing to come over the radio when she gets the car to start is... "Cruella De Vil."
      Cruella: Shut up! [kicks the radio deck)] Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP! [radio cuts out and falls out of the dashboard] *groans* *sobs*
  • Aladdin: In an inversion that never came to be, Jafar would do this to Aladdin in the Cut Song "Humiliate the Boy".
  • At the end of The Aristocats, the evil butler Edgar while attempting to lock Duchess and her kittens in a crate bound for Timbuktu, is attacked by Thomas O'Malley and his alley cat gang, who then proceed to release Duchess and the kittens from the crate, then shove Edgar into the crate instead, before finally pushing the crate out the door just in time for the movers to come pick it up and take it away. He also suffers one of these every time he encounters Napoleon and Lafayette.
  • As seen in the trailer for Despicable Me 3, poor Gru goes through this trying to apprehend Balthazar Bratt. (And the trailer does not show that he's fired afterwards on top of it.)
  • The Emperor's New Groove:
    • Yzma gets dunked in honey, pinata-fied, struck by lightning, headbutted into a table, turned into a kitten, sent falling off the side of a building, slammed into said building on the rebound, crushed by her own "loyal" henchman... and perhaps worst of all, conscripted into a band of ersatz Boy Scouts.
    • Kuzco was turned into a llama, chased by black jaguars and sent through rapids. And then he fell down an Inevitable Waterfall. Since he was still a total jerk at that point, he might qualify for this too.
  • Cobra Commander gets nothing but this trope in G.I. Joe: The Movie. Not only he starts getting it from the very first minutes of the film, where G.I. Joe easily thwarts his attack on the Statue of Liberty and he gets socked in the face by their leader, Duke, but he's not even the main villain on this one!
  • More or less the entirety of Po and Tai Lung's battle at the climax of Kung Fu Panda is a Humiliation Conga for Tai Lung, who initially dismisses the roly-poly Po as a complete joke... and then the Big Bad badass spends the next few moments being sat on, hit in the face with woks, having his devastating nerve attack fail utterly and even suffering the indignity of biting his own tail before his defeat. Given Tai Lung's main flaw being his unbridled arrogance, this doubles as a Break the Haughty for Tai Lung, although some fans thought he was humiliated a little too effectively.
  • In Rise of the Guardians, Pitch Black not only discovers that the hero he killed is revived and so powerful he gets his ass totally whooped, but also he gains his power from the fear of children, whom emboldened by The Guardians are not only not afraid of him, but even start pelting snowballs at him, then realizing he has no power left he becomes scared, which his own minions sense and Heel–Face Turn on him.
  • Robin Hood (1973): The entire film could be seen as this for Prince John. In the first heist that Robin and Little John perform, he is scammed, robbed and stripped of his royal robes, then ends up in a muddy puddle. During the archery tournament, his plan backfires, he's shot in the backside by a child, beaten by a chicken and dubbed "The Phony King of England" (which becomes a song that everyone, even his own henchmen, sing). Finally, his second plan to capture Robin ends with him being thrown out of his bed chamber, charged at by his own guards, then chasing Sir Hiss with a stick while sucking his thumb. And to add the cherry on top, he ends up in prison in the epilogue.
  • Up: In less than a minute, Alpha gets locked into the steering wheel of the Spirit of Adventure by Dug with a conical device looking similar to the Cone of Shame leading to his voice collar getting broken once again and having all his Mooks laugh at his misfortune before finally being dethroned as the alpha dog by the very same dog he tried to maul.
  • Wallace & Gromit, The Wrong Trousers: After catching him, Wallace and Gromit have Feathers paraded into the police station, Shipped in Shackles and towed by the same Techno Trousers he used in the robbery. He then gets imprisoned in a zoo, on display to everyone passing through the entrance. To add insult to injury, said display is shown inside a word balloon that reads "Welcome to the Zoo", spoken by a smiling penguin!
