History SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/BraceFace'': In "Miami Vices", Sharon, sick of her mother's rules, decides to spend a few days with her dad in Miami, who is much more laid back and permissive. However, when Sharon gets drunk at a party and makes a fool of herself, he isn't happy and gives her a lecture about how she could have been taken advantage of in her state. Just because a parent is permissive doesn't mean they're going to be okay with their child doing something absolutely reckless like getting drunk at 13.

* ''WesternAnimation/CleopatraInSpace'': In the first episode, Cleo grabs a laser gun displayed on the wall to try and defend herself against an assassin robot. Since she's from a time period where guns are nonexistent, she has no idea how to operate it and quickly discards it in favor of a bo-staff (a weapon she does know how to use).

* ''WesternAnimation/ElliottFromEarth'' shows that [[KneeFoldFallOfDefeat falling straight on top of your knees while despairing]] hurts like hell.

** In the episode "Fool's Goal", Manny's local soccer team usually comes in dead last because Manny's father tries to play fair and square, even though all the other teams obviously don't. When his Grandpapi takes over coaching and encourages cheating, the team makes it into the finals with the opposing team being headed by one of their villains. However, Manny's father eventually finds out and Manny is guilted into trying to make the winning goal normally... which he utterly fails at and loses the game for the team. The crowd chases Manny and his Dad out of the stadium for the loss. When Rodolfo asks Manny if it felt good to play fair, Manny promptly states that if this was the result, it wasn't worth it. [[ScrewTheRulesTheyBrokeThemFirst It's not exactly cheating if the other team does it, moral high ground or not.]]

** In "Backflip Bill", when Bill does his gymnastics floor routine, it looks quite impressive until he messed up the landing at the end. And despite everybody applauding his performance, he gets sixth place. He also mentions at the end that now that he fulfilled his childhood dream he's going to retire from gymnastics due to his body being sore since he only restarted gymnastics recently and his body isn't as flexible as it was.

*** A BrickJoke also plays in the episode. During "After the Party", while [=BoJack=] was driving with Wanda, he accidentally hits a deer on the road, thus busting up his car. So in the next episode, when [=BoJack=] was taking his car with Kelsey, Kelsey asks if he ever got his car repaired, as [=BoJack=] answers not, [[PuffOfLogic to which the car breaks down in the middle of the road.]]

** In "Fish Out Of Water", the episode takes place underwater as [=BoJack=] has to attend in an underwater film festival. As [=BoJack=] is underwater, he is faced with underwater physics:
*** Since he's underwater he can't really speak, without taking off his helmet
*** Since he's underwater, he can't drink his flask, as the alcohol floats away
*** Since he's underwater, he can't smoke, because he can't put in a cigarette with his helmet on, and he can't ignite his lighter
*** But, since he's underwater, he doesn't have to worry about gravity, as he fell out of a building, he would just float adrift, and swim away
*** Unfortunately, since he's underwater he can't write anything. As he sends a message to Kelsey, she can't read it as the ink slurred and washed away

** Huey is established in the series as being well-trained in martial arts. However, the fact remains that he's still a 10-year-old boy, and he usually ends up losing to opponents that have more experience and training than him or in the case of Stinkmeaner, supernatural abilities.

** In "The Garden Party", while the Freemans attend a party full of rich white people, Huey attempts to tell "the truth" (Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11). However, no one believes him because he's just a kid, he has no solid evidence, and everything he says is just his own opinions; also, Huey and Robert believe that if he told people the "the truth", [[GoMadFromTheRevelation chaos would ensue among white people]]. That doesn't happen either; just because '''one''' person says something, especially when it's a conspiracy theorist's opinion, it doesn't mean that everyone is going to instantly believe said person.
** In "Ballin'", it not only references but also deconstructs the whole concept of ''Film/TheMightyDucks''. What happens when you have a team that has little to no athletic talent? They ended up losing every game they've played in an embarrassing yet hilarious fashion, and the "miracle moment" is given to a team that is more polished athletically.

** In "The Fried Chicken Flu", Kernel's Fried Chicken, a KFC parody, does a food promotion to introduce a new fried chicken recipe. However, ''so'' many people come to try it, there are numerous long lines, people begin getting pissed about waiting so long, and worse [[spoiler:several KFC restaurants run out of chicken]]. Then, HilarityEnsues when people start rioting.

** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS21E3AWifeChangingExperience A Wife-Changing Experience]]", Joe accidentally sees Lois naked, which reignites the passion in his marriage with Bonnie. Lois quickly gets addicted to the ego boost, and when Joe calls off any further incidents, realizing it's unhealthy, she tries getting her rush elsewhere by dressing up as a nurse and giving spongebaths at a Veterans Home. Which promptly leads to her being arrested, having gone from consensual voyeurism to what is basically sexual harassment, and her desperate sobbing about being a "desirable woman" is not an actual justification. In the same episode, Peter tries getting the attention of other women in the neighborhood to get back at Lois, but unlike his wife, who's a reasonably attractive middle-aged woman, Peter is a FatSlob and his attempts are met with disgust and horror more than anything else. He ends up in the same police van as Lois after impersonating a Chippendales dancer.

* ''WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel'': In the episode "La Sombreona", the titular villains drains the fun out of people out of grief at losing all five of her lazy, fun loving husbands to tiger attacks. Abuela attempts to reform her by staging a massive dance party so she can finally have fun. However, this not only fails but gives her more targets. She even says point-blank that you can't cure years of trauma with 15 minutes of fun.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse2021'':
** Felines primarily rely on their claws for hunting and fighting. As such, Cringer is unable to do both very well after he was declawed until Duncan makes him metal prosthetics.
** The {{Jawbreaker}} trope is normally treated as a fatal injury in fiction, but for Kronis, it's just a painful inconvenience. Likewise, as a wanted criminal hiding in a remote location, he can't get medical treatment for his injury and has to compensate with a self-made mechanical brace.

* ''WesternAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'':
** "The Cave of Vinca": Rosemary aims at the traber queen using a dangerous tactic. Not only killing the boss monster make the critters even angrier, she gets injured and passes out on the next floor, spending most of the episode being carried by Thyme.

** "Rated Cricket": Cricket wants to see a PG-13 rated movie, ''Kiss of Death''. But he only sees the poster for the movie, and assumes it's some sort of a thriller; once he actually gets to see the flick, he realizes the movie is a teen horror/romance drama, and he's uncomfortable by what it shows.
** In "Coffee Quest", Chip, having tracked Cricket and Gloria to the latter's apartment, loudly threatens them to come out. This results in one of Gloria's neighbors yelling at him to shut up (and throwing a boot at him), since it's the middle of the night, and he has work in the morning.

** In "The Menu", Richard learns about a secret menu item in Joyful Burger, and Richard is urged to eat it. So with the help of his sons, they learn how to get it, by eating a Joyful Burger from every spot in the world. But for every burger that Richard eats, he gains more weight, becomes more slower, and struggles more to finish his food. In fact, he nearly gets a heart attack. But then once he finally eats every burger, he reaches to the final counter, and is awarded the secret burger, the M'Guffin, but once he starts to eat it, [[ShaggyDogStory he struggles to eat, because after stuffing himself with so many burgers all day, he has no room left for the burger.]]

** Since Gumball has no 8-Bit Experience as Ocho, he isn't skilled in doing his abilities. As he tries to use the Komachi Code himself, he ends up causing a glitch.

*** And he would chase the kids through the theatre.

** In "The Grades", Ms. Simian, the teacher of Gumball's Class, finds out that Gumball failed on of his tests in Kindergarten, so his GPA is void. So she sends Gumball back to Kindergarten. But later, Mr Brown, the principal of the school notices her that by demoting Gumball back to Kindergarten she is one student short of her quota, and will be fired by Friday if she does not get him back.
** In "The Pact", when running for Ms Simian to snitch on Principal Brown, he tries to stop him by lowering in a gate in the hallway, so Gumball attempts to perform the "closing gate slide stunt". But due to his cartoonishly large head, he just ends up rolling in a circle.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeFionnaAndCake'', Fionna and Simon fashion a pair of makeshift stakes and use them to try to kill a vampire. However, when they shove the stakes into the vampire's chest and back, rather than the usual pop-culture outcome of it instantly impaling the vampire and killing them in a single stroke, they fail to even pierce the vampire's clothing and mostly just annoy it. As it turns out, shoving a piece of wood deep into someone's chest cavity while they're fighting back is actually really difficult.

* WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel: In the episode "La Sombreona", the titular villains drains the fun out of people out of grief at losing all five of her lazy, fun loving husbands to tiger attacks. Abuela attempts to reform her by staging a massive dance party so she can finally have fun. However, this not only fails but gives her more targets.

--->'''Darwin:''' (screams with high-pitch) It burns!
