Now every now and then in a certain animated film or a show there is a character that would snap at a certain person and he or she would usually either snap, rant/vent or even both. So in both animated films and tv shows what do u know that has a character that snaps or even rants? I only know 3...The internet cartoon series Neurotically Yours has been known for Foamy doing a rant on a particular topic. There was that family guy episode which had quagmire ranting on why he hated brain, and Duckman has ranted every now and then{and they are in my own view the best rants}
Snaps and ranting/vents in animation

No thread about cartoons rants is complete without Rocko's rant from "Rocko's Happy Sack":
"You cheap little rodder! I've been run over by customers, made to drag around a gimp shopping cart, threatened by your Gestapo security guards, beaten by a very large woman, I was attacked by wild lobsters, had me head set on fire, my dog wrapped in plastic, nearly starved to death, and I still beat the 12 o' clock deadline! So if you don't change that total back to $1.50, I will do something NOT NICE!!!!"
That's one of my favorite instances of a character losing it ever. It makes me laugh every time because I identify with it so well.

One example of a character snapping that I liked was done by The Brain of Pinky and the Brain in the half hour episode "Hoop Schemes". Brain and Pinky are witnessing the public appearance of a basketball superstar named Jellyhead Johnson, who is playing up to the crowd of fans who came to see him perform his signature move, "The Jellyhead Jump".
Jellyhead: (to the crowd) Do you want to see me do the Jellyhead Jump?
Fans: Yeah!
Jellyhead: Do you want to see me do the Jellyhead Jump??
Fans: YEAH!!
Jellyhead: Do you want to see me do the Jellyhead Jump??
Brain: YES, ALREADY! Do the doggone Jellyhead Jump!!
Jellyhead: (to the crowd) Do you want to see me do the Jellyhead Jump?
Fans: Yeah!
Jellyhead: Do you want to see me do the Jellyhead Jump??
Fans: YEAH!!
Jellyhead: Do you want to see me do the Jellyhead Jump??
Brain: YES, ALREADY! Do the doggone Jellyhead Jump!!
My favorite character rant happened towards the end of Beavis and Butt-head Do America.
Butt-head: Settle down, Beavis.
Beavis: No! I wont settle down! Not this time! Damn it, this always happens! I think I'm gonna score and then I never score! It's not fair! We've traveled umm..uh..uhhh..a hundred miles 'cause we thought we were gonna score, but now it's not gonna happen! Damn it!
Bus Driver: Hey buddy, sit down!
Beavis: Shut up, asswipe! I'm sick and tired of this! We're never gonna score! It's just not gonna happen! We're just gonna get old like these people, but they've probably scored!
Bus Driver: Hey, I'm warning you! Sit down!
Beavis: It's like this chick's a slut! And look at this guy! He's old, but he's probably scored a million times!
Old Guy: Ohh yeah.
Beavis: But not us! We're never gonna score! WE'RE NEVER GONNA SCORE! WE'RE NEVER GONNA SCORE!!!!
Great stuff. The emotional music makes it perfect.
And, of course, there's Quagmire's anti-Brian rant from "Jerome is the New Black":
"[FONT=Verdana, Arial]You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife, the man who pays for your food and rescued you from certain death and that is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury you defecate all over his yard, and you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing and you always say "oh I'll catch you later" but later never comes! And what really bothers me is you pretend that you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is date bimbos, and yeah I date women for their bodies but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and lecture them with some 7th grade interpretation about how Holden Caulfield is some profound intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat and that's why you like him so much. He's you! God, you're pretentious. And you delude yourself by saying you're some great writer even though you're terrible. You know, I should have known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. She would've known there was no "a" in the word definite. And you know what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda on how we should "legalize pot man", how big business is crushing the underclass and homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America, well what have you done to help? I worked down at the soup kitchen Brian, and I've never seen you down there! You want to help, GRAB A LADLE! And by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ. Oh wait, you don't believe in Jesus Christ or any religion for that matter because "religion is for idiots!" Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed college twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father. How is that son of yours you never see? But you know what, I could forgive all of that, ALL OF IT...if you weren't such a bore! That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big sad alcoholic bore![/FONT]

One of the best rants in animation history is Sven Hoek, when Ren comes home to find his possessions and house in shambles, and threatens Stimpy and Sven with grievous bodily harm.
"Oh, what I'm going to do to you. I'm so ANGRY! First, I'm gonna tear your lips out. That's what I'm gonna do. And THEN, I'm gonnna g-g-GOUGE your eyes. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do."
"We don't like this, Ren."
"Ja, you scaring us"
"Good. You scared, huh? Next, I'm gonna TEAR your arms out of the sockets. And you wanna know what else? I'm gonna hit ya, and you're gonna fall. And I'm gonna look down, and I'm gonna laugh."
What makes this the best is how well its acted out; Sven and Sven are TERRIFIED by Ren, and there's no suggestion that Ren's bluffing.

One of my favorites is when Mac completely snaps at Goo in the episode of Fosters "Go Goo Go"
"I don't like you!!! Don't you get it!? Nobody likes you! You're annoying and weird and you talk to much and Bloo's name is not Chester, Mr. Herriman is not a badger, that's not how you play checkers, and poultry doesn't come from bananas, it comes from NUTS! Which you don't need to eat more of because you ARE nuts! You're chock full of nuts! You're so nuts you drive me nuts! Get it? Get it get it get it get it get it get it get it do ya get it!? Everyone thinks you're a nuisance and they all want you to just GO HOME!!!"
Also a Goofy Movie
Goofy: You dropped your hat. (Max has had enough)
Max: GUH! This is the stupidest vacation! You drag from home and jam me in this dumb car to drive a million miles away, and see some stupid (throws hat out the window) RAT SHOW!

For an example of how good Duckman was at ranting, here's one from "A Room With A Bellvue," spoken to two psychiatrists.
And when you think about it, isn't that exactly the point? Parking. And driving. And shopping. And eating. And working. Somewhere, somehow, they're different now, none of 'am are the same, they all got chewed up and spit back out, and they don't taste like living anymore! Don't you see what it's like in this deranged Waring Blender of a world?! Every day is an agonizing ordeal, like balancing a pot of scalding water on your head while people whip your legs and butt... You never forget your senior prom... YOU think I'm "sick"? Well the only disease I've got is "Modern Life," a schnutbusting gauntlet of inefficiency and misery that's one long parade of let-downs, put-downs, trickle downs, shutouts, freezeouts, sell-outs, numbnuts, nincompoops and nimrods, all making every day as much fun as waxing a flaming Pontiac with your tongue, where even if you do luck into the possibility of some fleeting pleasure, like, say, if some nymphomaniac telephone operators with the muscle control of Romanian mat-slappers agree to a little Strip Air Hockey, it'll be over before it starts 'cuz some vowel-lacking, feta-reeking cab-jockey slams his Checker up your hatchback and the cab is owned by some pinata spanker from a Santeria cult in Xoacalpa who starts shaking chicken bones at you and gives you a boil on your neck so big all it needs is Michael Jordan's autograph to make it complete, and even with all this, with ALL THIS, I still drag my sorry butt off the Sealy every morning and stick my face in the reaping machine for one more day, knowing when it's time to flash the cosmic card key at those Pearly Gates, I won't be in the coffin anyway 'cuz some underhanded undertaker sold my heart, pancreas and other assorted Good 'N' Plenty to that same Santeria cult so does anybody really wonder why anybody is hanging onto sanity by the atoms on the tips of their fingernails while Life dirty-dances on their digits, and is it really any wonder that I seem DERANGED???!!
*speechless look on psychatrists' faces*
But...heh-heh... that's probably nothing you haven't heard a hundred times before...

OMG! That's first thing that came to my mind when I saw this thread! I remember anticipating this moment whenever this episode would come on throughout the years! 
I don't remember the title of this Spongebob episode. But it's the episode when Spongebob and Patrick becomes parents to a..I can't remember what it is right now. But anyways, when Spongebob yells "overtime!" through his teeth, after Patrick explains why he can't help with the baby, I always get a kick out of it. It's short and simple, but I love it.
I've always loved when Jubilee gets pissed at Juggernaut during the X-Men (90's) episode, "The Unstoppable Juggernaut." When Juggernaut called her a little girl or something like that after she blast him from a buildings roof while he holds Wolverine. She gets pissed and let it rip. She tears up the ground and makes Juggernaut stumble and let go of Wolverine. I love it! I love those moments when Jubilee get's her time to shine. They usually made her seem so weak.

Going back to the classic era, it's hard to top Daffy losing it in "Duck, Rabbit, Duck", when he has finally been blasted one time too many....
"Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers! And gunpowder! And cordite! I'm an elk! Shoot me! Go on! It's elk season! I'm a fiddler crab! Why don't you shoot me?! It's fiddler crab sesaon!"

I remember the SpongeBob episode where he takes a homeless poor Squidward in - Squidward abuses him for months on end without ever getting a job so SpongeBob freaking runs to the Krusty Krab and chokes the living hell out of Mr. Krabs. "ALL OF THIS OVER A STUPID DIME?!"
Truly, it's SpongeBob's shining moment

Moral Orel was particularly good at this during its final season. It got so theatrical. My personal favorites, both from Clay:
(from "Nature Part 1")
"I hate myself. Why do you quit working on me? She always fools me, Orel. 'I'll make things better, dear! Drink me! Put me inside you! I'm great!' And then she chokes me just like every other whore out there! They're all worthless, kid. Every woman! Don't let 'em getcha! All of 'em wanna getcha! They just grab you and pull you into them! And you're forced to stay in and pull out and stay in and pull out! And then they gut you! And then they grip you right where it counts! And then they start squeezing things out! Things that are like weights around your head! You sit there for the rest of your life with nowhere to go, and no one to be!"
(from "Sacrifice")
"You know... the pain... of you. Day in, day out, being there, with that face, not knowing what to say... not caring anymore. Not even knowing that you'll probably only care about her when it's finally too late. Forgetting about all those desperate years you spent alone, your barren years when no woman would even consider resting her tired head on your shaky little shoulder. And stinking of belly semen. Why even wipe? And then when you finally get one of these, covered in pieces of tail that have been built up as the grand trophy in your nothing life, you try desperately to keep it, not to protect it, but to hoard it! To keep it away from the other wolves and jackals circling your territory! And you realize all too soon that you're not good enough. And maybe there was a jerk-off called Darwin after all. And that you never acknowledged his existence because you knew deep inside that you were really what you feared you were... weak and passive and ultimately broken by the ones who were made the fittest. And that through your weaknesses you built up a poison that poisoned others around you... that you loved... and the only true justice was to let those dominant jackals feed on you... survive off you."
Blew me away. What an amazing show that was.

I love that scene in The Iron Giant where Hogarth gets hopped up on espresso ("This is like...Coffee-Zilla!") and goes into this hyperbolic, jittery rant about bullies in school taking his lunch money and forcing him to do their homework. Eli Marienthal's Howard Hawks-ian line delivery kills me every time.

Dale's rant to the Harmonaholics in the episode where Bill joins the men's chorus!
"This chorus is the feces that is produced when shame eats too much stupidity!"
"This chorus is the feces that is produced when shame eats too much stupidity!"
There is also Emperor Palpatine's over-the-phone rant to Darth Vader after the Death Star has blown up in the Robot Chicken Star Wars special ("What the h*** is an aluminum falcon?"), which was briefly interrupted by one of his employees doing a lunch run and asking the emperor what he wanted.
I can't believe I didn't think of this...and I can't believe that no one else did, either:
"Now, calm down, Nedly-diddly-diddly-diddly-diddly. They did their best-- shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly. Gotta be nice-- hostility-diddly-bility-diddly-- awww, hell-diddly-ding-dong crap! Can't you morons do anything right?!"
The whole scene is a howl. Also, though Ned (literally, I suppose) has the patience of a saint, it's kind of nice to see that even he has his limits.

From X Marks the Ed:
Double D: Are we just about done!?! Please leave in an orderly manner! In all my years, I have never seen such deplorable behavior over one's elevation of the skin!...Not you, Ed.
Not nearly as awesome as some of the others here, but it always stood out to me as one of the few time Double D lost his temper with the kids.

I can't believe that I forgot about this one! This one always gets a chuckle from me. It's Duckman's vent against women in the episode "Exile in Guyville":
"You women are the problem! You say that you're looking for a gentleman, but then you only give it up for the creeps! You say that you want to be taken seriously, but then you're throwing a hissy fit if you're not being told that you look great 25 hours a day! You get to stay home, not go to war, live longer and you can have sex whenever you want it! So I gotta ask, what is your problem?!?"
