Suddenly, the titanothere backs up and flees, and Jake crows victory - just before noticing the thanator behind him. His pinned-eared Oh, Crap!

Done in several Looney Tunes episodes. In one case, there was a variation where Sylvester is being chased by a Bully Bulldog named Spike and his little Hero-Worshipper Chester.
Spike tries several times to beat up on Sylvester, but keeps getting mauled by an escaped puma. The variant is that neither Sylvester or Spike ever see the puma, and both are convinced that Sylvester is responsible.
When Sylvester tries to menace both dogs at once, now far away from where the puma is hiding little Chester cleans his clock. Another variant with the same characters: He repeatedly mauls the bulldog while in Hyde form, then switches back to his normal, Jekyll form. Eventually Sylvester becomes convinced that he can scare the dogs while in normal form.
