Moments where somebody complains "I Was Beaten by a Girl" in Western Animation.
- Happens in an episode of Adventures of the Gummi Bears in which Princess Calla defeats every man in a tournament before losing to a masked challenger... who turns out to be a girl as well.
- In Aladdin: The Series, Mozenrath implies this, after being defeated by Princess Jasmine, though he doesn't say it. The look on his face as he's trapped inside a giant crystal says everything. Especially after he spends the majority of the episode being a sexist douche.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- This happens in an episode when the Kyoshi Warriors jump and tie up the trio, and it turns out they are all female. Sokka refuses to believe that a "bunch of girls" captured them, and tries to argue that "sneaking up" doesn't count as a fair fight. Confronting them later only confirms that they can, in fact, best him in a fair fight. Not only does he ask them for martial-arts lessons, he ends up dating one of them.
- Later, in “The Ember Island Players” Toph is cast as a huge burly man in the Fire Nation play, likely because the prison wardens she broke free from wouldn’t admit that they lost to a blind 12-year-old girl.
- Blue Eye Samurai. A flashback shows that Mizu put aside her Roaring Rampage of Revenge after her mother married her off to a disgraced samurai. He was a gentle man that she fell in love with, but he wanted to see her demonstrate the sword skills that she learnt. Unfortunately, she wins the subsequent sword fight and he doesn't take it well; it's implied he turned Mizu in for the sizeable reward on her head.
- Inverted in Futurama, Zapp Brannigan is actually happy when he finds out that the guy who just beat him was actually Leela in disguise. Relieved because he was starting to have... feelings for "him".
- In Hey Arnold!, everyone mocks Harold when he loses to Patty at arm-wrestling. After getting to know her, he stops being ashamed and beats up the bullies mocking him. They were mocking him even after he got second place, and the girl who beat him became the city's champion by also defeating several grown men. Really, this plot could have been avoided early in the episode by having her challenge the guys who were mocking him.Harold: So what if I lost to a girl? (grabs both Sid and Stinky) Patty's my friend and a great arm wrestler, and if anybody says anything bad about her, I'll pound 'em! (knocks their heads together and drops them to the ground)
- Imagine the shame of being a muscle-bound henchman who just got your butt handed to you by a cheerleader, even Kim Possible.
- While this could qualify for any male villain beaten by The Powerpuff Girls, this explicitly comes up in "Members Only". The girls are not allowed to join the Association of World Super Men because they're girls despite besting the heroes at all the initiation tests. "Mascumax" then pummels the heroes, but the girls defeat him. He leaves crying that he lost to little girls. The association members state that the girls are now their heroes.
- She-Ra: Princess of Power Skeletor responds like this when She-Ra makes her first appearance, and knocks the stuffing out of him: "A female He-Man! This is the worst day of my life!"
- South Park:
- Cartman gets beaten up by Wendy, which causes Cartman to despair that the other kids won't think he's cool anymore. All the other kids tell him that it's okay...they never thought he was cool to begin with! Of course, this being Cartman, he takes that as meaning they still think he's cool because they're trying to "humor him".
- Stan gets mocked for getting beaten up by his big sister Shelly in the latter's first episode.Mr. Garrison: Stanley, can I talk to you for a minute?
Stan: Okay.
Mr. Garrison: I couldn't help but notice that black eye you have. Are there problems at home?
Stan: Yes...
Mr. Garrison: Oh dear. Here Stanley, sit down, have some cocoa, and tell your friend Mr. Hat all about it.
Mr. Hat: I'm your friend, Mr. Hat, Stan. You can tell me anything. Now, who hits you, is it your father, or your mother?
Stan: Oh, neither. It's my sister.
Mr. Garrison: Your sister?! Oh for Pete's sake, don't be such a little wuss. Stop wasting Mr. Hat's time with pansy little foo-foo problems, and, give me back my cocoa! - Butters himself gets beaten to a bloody pulp by Bebe during "The World-Wide Privacy Tour".
- In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), Shredder, Rocksteady, and Beebop are really upset when Lotus beats them up, especially when she decides to humiliate them further by tarring and feathering them as a finishing move. (Well, throwing them into a pipe that breaks, spilling tar on them; she likely thought up the feather part on a whim.)
- Duncan from Total Drama was demolished by his own girlfriend, despite mentioning early that he wasn't going to let her win.
