Examples of Oh, Crap! in web animation.

• 13 Cards:
  • Clones Clean Up The House
    • Felix's reaction when he realized he put bath soap in the washer as opposed to laundry detergent
    • Romeo's and Felix's response when Fëdor goes to wash his hands, as they forgot to turn off the washer.
  • Clones Make A Comic: Brolly walks into the living room to find it empty aside from Dante and Kuromaku, and delightedly turns on the TV to watch cartoons. He panics when he finds the others behind him, screams, and curls up.
  • Clones In The Soup
    • Waru's reaction when he realizes that the other clones are going to make him eat the soup.
  • Clones Order Pizza
    • Kuromaku realizes a bit too late that Waru is planning on locking him out on the balcony, and has a moment of panic as he bolts to the door in an attempt to get there before Waru can close it.
    • Felix and Romeo react this way when Fëdor (who works as a pizza delivery boy) happens to be the one assigned to deliver the clones' pizza, since they knew he wouldn't approve of them spending his money on pizza.
• Arenas: The first Cacodemon in "Chosen by the Vadrigar"'s green eye opens as far as it can upon hearing Doom revving the chainsaw. Hard to think a demon which is basically just a red ball of flesh would be capable of expressing this, but it does.
• ATTACK on MIKA:
  • Kasumi has this reaction after realizing she blew up at Ren in front of her parents.
  • Both Kuzumi and her father have this reaction after meeting the Chairman of the Shingeki Organization, the group that Kuzumi's father pretended to be a member of and whose house he had unknowingly vandalized.
• Dayum: In “Types of People at the Beach Portrayed by Minecraft”, when Grant sees the tsunami, he says, “Wait, that’s not just a wave…. THAT’S A TSUNAMI!”.
• In The Demented Cartoon Movie!, characters often say this if they have time to realize things are about to go disastrously wrong. And things go wrong (read: explode) a lot. For example, an underwater diver recites the trope by name upon realizing that the "Bubble Fish" he has been tracking is actually Zeeky H. Bomb.
• DEATH BATTLE! usually has combatants display reactions of this kind when their opponent gets the upper hand and/or of course they're about to be killed by said opponent.
  • When Jinx gets hit with Joker Venom by Harley Quinn, her Acquired Poison Immunity saves her from literally dying of laughter but the Venom does trigger her psychosis, causing her to go into fits of maniacal giggling as she tries, no begs Harley to run away before fully going crazy.
  Jinx: (coughs as she's sprayed in Joker Venom) Smells like... (inhales) home. (hallucinates visions of Vi in the mirrors and her own insane laughter, punching them before giggling herself) G-get back... (laughter gets worse as Harley can be seen sneaking up behind her on the shattered mirror before Jinx grabs the camera) I'm CRAZY! (releases the camera as she devolves into full-on Laughing Mad as Harley joins in) I'VE GOT A DOCTOR'S NOTE FOR IT! (shoots wildly at the camera with Pow-Pow as the hallucinations and laughter hit their peak)
• Dreamscape: It happens pretty often.
  • In Episode 1, Dylan when he runs into Ethan, and Anjren when Vampire Lord is taken over by the Possessor Ghost.
  • In Episode 2, Keela has a silent Oh, Crap! moment when Kaila reveals her true form.
  • In Episode 3, the group has this reaction when Keela goes into her Superpowered Evil Side.
  • In Episode 6, Dylan has a moment when Melissa uses The Dark Arts to prepare him and the others to fight Melinda.
  • In Episode 7, Dylan and Betty react like this when Melinda vaporizes Pita. Those two and Pita also react like this when Melinda becomes Ghost Melinda. It happens with Keela when Kaila reveals she is going to acquire a Mechelly of her own.
• DSBT InsaniT:
  • In the first episode, Koden and Asia have a moment when they realize Lisa and Sand Snake are going to crash Koden's party.
  • Happens to Koden again in 'The Camping Webisode' when he finds out Killer Monster's name.
• Epithet Erased:
  • Mera responds to Sylvie suddenly turning into a giant Scottish minotaur with an understated, "That's...new."
  • Giovanni's Banzai Blasters are so intimidated by Percy drawing her "real-ass goddamn sword" that Dark Star has to pop out from behind Giovanni twice to convey how little they want to be here.
    Giovanni: Whoa! Is that a real-ass sword?
    Spike: Holy crap!
    Dark Star: We don't mess around with no real-ass goddamn swords.
    Crusher: That's out of our pay grade.
    Another Dark Star: Uh-uh. We're done.
  • The second Ramsey hears Zora's whistling, he goes from smugly grinning and trying to drink out of his pinecone to standing bolt upright and looking like he's about to crap himself. He spends much of the ensuing conversation visibly trembling.
• Etra chan saw it!:
  • Hiiragi has this expression when he is confronted by all three of his girlfriends: Akane, Yuzuriha, and Azami.
  • Tokusa and his friend group manage to escape Akane's rampage in an izakaya and her boyfriend, Tachibana, apologizes for the trouble. However, just as Tachibana is telling them that they're all good people, Akane slams the front door open while babbling gibberish. This causes everyone else (Tachibana included) to freak out and make a run for Kuroki's car.
• GoAnimate:
  • This would usually happen to a character just before he or she gets busted for their mischief.
  • A victim of a troublemaker will have this reaction when being put on the receiving end of a troublemaker's wrath.
• Happy Tree Friends is a total definition of this trope. Nearly every episode has it's Oh Crap moments (save for just a few). In the fanimation "All Work and No Belay", before Lumpy falls and rolls into a big snowball, he notices what will happen and holds up a sign saying "HELP?".
• While hololive idols tend to express shock in their own ways, one of the most prominent Oh Crap faces is from -Justice-'s Elizabeth Rose Bloodflame, who ditches her usual queenly demeanor and replaces it with Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises along with a distraught expression.
• If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device: In "Heroes of the 41st Millennium - Commissar Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM", when Cain is given a minute alone in his office, he physically deflates from his fake Humble Hero persona and rants at himself for constantly building up his reputation instead of admitting to everyone that he's just a lucky idiot who happens to bumble into the right place at the right time. When Jurgen interrupts him to let him know a commander wishes to award him for his "bravery", Cain tells Jurgen to let the commander in, only for Jurgen to reply that the commander was already waiting for Cain. Cue a Space Marine popping up from behind the door to Cain's office, with Cain becoming understandably terrified that he's finally been caught in his lies. Said Space Marine turns out to be Marneus Calgar, who in an unexpected turn of events calms Cain down and addresses him as "mood kindred". Cain quickly realizes that Calgar is also "a piece of shit" like him, which Calgar fully admits as the two embrace each other and start crying, taking comfort in the fact that they've finally found someone who understands the pain they constantly endure.
• In Lumaya Legends: Run From Royalty, poor princess Suith looks absolutely terrified when her father, Alamor, attempts to murder her by incinerating her with his fire breath while her brother, Reel, seemingly leaves her to die to take her place. Fortunately, Reel ends up turning against their father to save his sister.
• After explaining the backstory, the various narrators of LORE in a Minute send the focus game's protagonist off with a "Have fun!". Their reaction is a very upset This Is Gonna Suck-type face.
• In the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic version of the song Don't Mine At Night, a parody of the Katy Perry tune "Last Friday Night", the main character declares that zombies want to eat him and the character he's singing to. Then, because he's singing this while standing beside said zombies, he follows up with a "WaitWHAT?!".
• In this episode of Overly Sarcastic Productions' take on Journey to the West, at 9:58, the demon who's been annoying them all episode gets a very clear "well shit" facial expression when the lotus platform he's sitting on reverts to its true form, namely, "a metric f***ton of swords".
• The Pink Corruption
  • Cyan when he gets a vision of Dub in season one, episode 1.
  • Cube, Cintagon and Quintagon have a shocked expression and become unresponsive when they meet Pyrare for the first time in season 1, episodes 4, 5 and 8.
  • Cube when he witnesses Acrilimus devour his hero, Cyan in season 1, episode 8.
• Red vs. Blue
  • Tex gets this moment when Donut lobs a plasma grenade over an incredible distance, square into the cockpit of the tank she was driving.
  • Everyone is one the receiving end of this at least once, although their reaction is less "oh crap" and more "son of a bitch!"
  • In Recreation Episode 12, Donut is cleaning up Blue Base when he's approached by what he thinks is a new Blue soldier (it's actually the previous season's Big Bad, Meta.) Donut, being Donut, tries to strike up a friendly conversation with it, evading its attempts to kill him by near misses. Simmons then arrives, Donut tells him about the new soldier, which leads to this:
    Simmons: What? They sent another team member? Why would they do that? That doesn’t make any sense— (sees that it's Meta) OH, FUCK!!! (starts to run away) Welcometotheneighborhood! Seeyoulater!
  • Red vs. Blue: Revelation, Chapter 3:
    Washington: Do I hear a...
    (Grif drives a Warthog jeep through the wall)
    Washington: CAR?!?
  • Revelations Episode 10 is filled with a ton of them from Grif, Sarge, Simmons and Tucker while they're all in the middle of being on the receiving end of a brutal Curb-Stomp Battle at the hands of Tex.
  • When The Meta attaches the memory unit containing the recently captured Tex to his armor.
  • The Meta is the living personification of this trope. He even has his own Theme music which makes the Imperial March, Jaws theme and "Psycho" Strings look tame in comparison. And now try this. If you thought the last one was pants-wettingly terrifying, then this one makes the previous link sound like a frolic in a happy meadow. The Oh, Crap! factor doubles down in subsequent seasons as we see the process that took him from "just" an exceptional supersoldier to an unstoppable force of evil.
  • Season 15, Episode 15: Grif's utter horror when he encounters Locus, who's fortunately not as heartless as he was previously whilst Grif was full-on Cast Away with volleyball stand-ins of his BG friends (excluding Washington and Carolina, due to them not really being there much for them as long as he bonded with during the Blood Gulch Chronicles era) and losing his train of thought mid-sentence, scaring Grif shitless when Locus interupts his mid-sentence stammering.
• Reverse Jurassic Park: Used word-by-word by Mr. Robustus in the fivequel when he realizes that the giant aquarium he is standing in front of just cracked
• RWBY
  • Jaune and Weiss when they both realise that it's a long way down.
  • On a more serious note, Blake gets one when she accidentally outs herself as a former terrorist in front of her team.
  • Neo, who is smugly smirking all the way through her battle with Yang, is stopped short of finishing her by the sudden entrance of a mysterious samurai woman with a huge nodachi and a scary mask. The way her eyes narrow and her face droops suddenly is hilarious.
  • Another comedic version is the look on Team JNPR's collective faces when Nora's slung pie hits Weiss, setting off their epic Food Fight.
  • There's this◊ wonderful face Mercury Black makes when he gets grabbed by Yatsuhashi and realises he's about to get shitkicked.
  • There's also a split-second shot of May Zedong's crestfallen expression in an earlier episode when she realizes that she's about to get pied in the face by a shitton of grenades fired by a supercharged Nora.
  • More heart-rending example. In "Fall", you get to see Team RWBY's horrified reactions to Yang seemingly breaking Mercury's leg in an unprovoked attack and consequently being surrounded by Atlas troops and arrested. Earlier on in the fight, Yang subjects Mercury to a subtle one when she goes Super Saiyan and full-bore charges at him.
  • We also get this wonderful face◊, again from Neo in "Heroes and Monsters", when Ruby defeats her by pressing the button on her parasol, sending the tiny minion flying in the strong winds.
  • In the Volume Three finale, Cinder, who has up until this point been completely confident and in control of everything around her, has a single shocked moment of horrified disbelief, complete with a loud "WHAT?!" when killing Pyrrha causes Ruby to flip out and flood the area with silver light from her eyes.
    • Really, the last several episodes of Volume 3 are an extended Oh, Crap! for most characters, as well as the audience.
  • Ruby has this reaction when Ozpin reveals just how random Beacon's partnering system is. Bear in mind that she's at a military school.
    "The next person you make eye contact with will be your partner for the next four years."
  • Adam of all people has three such moments in Volume 6: When he sees Yang catch his weapon with her robot arm, when Yang takes his sword and throws it over the waterfall of Argus (with a Big "NO!" as his Semblance relies on his weapons), and finally when Blake and Yang stab him with the broken pieces of Gambol Shroud.
• Sekai no Fushigi:
  • Rika does this at her wedding after she told Hayato that she would not have broken up with him if she had known he was rich, since she never told Mr. Iroki that she had been dating Hayato before she chose him.
  • Usoda does this after being confronted by his supervisor, Iwai, at the Land of the Mouse, having told her that he was taking the day off from work after his mother got into a car accident when he actually took the day off to go on a date with his affair partner.
• In TOME, Alpha is quite prone to having these. The crowner goes to when Zetto becomes Demon Zetto and lunges at Alpha.
  Alpha: Oh, SHI-
• The reaction of the 4Kids CEO when he realizes that Julian Robotnik is about to blow him and his company to kingdom come in Sonic Shorts.
  Board Member: That is, without a doubt, the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard. NO ONE likes Sonic X! NO ONE! Are you PURPOSELY trying to piss people off?
  CEO: Yeah, and what are these so-called people gonna do about it? Nah-ne-nah-ne-nah... (bombs appear outside through window) Oh, crud...
• Super Mario Bros. Z loves this trope, and all the characters get a moment of this at one point or another.
  • The best ones probably come from the Axem Rangers Z in Episode 6 when Mecha Sonic shows up and starts wrecking their shit.
  • Luigi, upon realizing that Mecha Sonic is about to Spirit Bomb Death Ball the fucking hell out of their island Frieza-style, releases a single, utterly hilarious scream of sheer terror. It is FANTASTIC.
• Team Service Announcement
  • The RED Team in Objectives when they hear the Administrator announce that the payload is nearly at the final checkpoint. And they're on the other side of the map.
  • The Engineer in Sentry Knockback when the Medic blocks his Sentry's gunfire. He doesn't snap out of it.
  • The RED Engineers in Building Placement when the Demoman destroys all their sentries... just as BLU Team's cart is about to reach the final checkpoint.
• In X-Ray & Vav, the Mad King utters out a defeated "Oh, poopie" when ORF decides to get back at him for turning her bad. By using the modifications he gave her.
