CG allows you to consistently animate complicated images (like Instant Runes) and moving objects with regularity and ease. Computer-rendered animation was embraced by many animators because it allows for good animation sequences without totally sacrificing the budget or scheduling for the rest of the scenes in a show.
Unfortunately, this means a Computer-Generated image stands out considerably compared to that of the traditional animation style. Techniques in digital inking (such as Cel Shading) can alleviate this. After all most traditional animation uses digital technology these days too, particularly for the inking and painting. Compare for example, almost any anime series made in 2000s to ones in the early '90s, those brighter colors and flashy effects newer shows have? Digital. The gradual disappearance of this trope can thus be largely chalked up to the fact that Technology Marches On. The limitations of early computer rendering technology and an overall lack of experience in the field by most animators are what led to the most egregious of the examples listed, though some can be chalked up to production companies that just resorted to CG to speed things up regardless of how well it worked.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The ironic problem though is that CG models look too perfect. It moves too smoothly and creates a jarring 3D effect in an otherwise 2D universe. If done well you won't even notice the computer generated models against the traditional styled animation, you may never know. Disney has been using it since the '80s in small amounts, and you probably never noticed, at least as a kid. This trope is for when you do.
Sometimes, of course, Conspicuous CG is deliberate—a character is in deliberately obvious CG as a style choice, such as the mythical beast, the Hydra from Disney's Hercules, which allowed for more heads, and the flames of Hades' head, and Rule of Cool meant nobody cared. Sometimes, it's a form of Painting the Medium to indicate that the thing is fundamentally different. Sometimes it's blended, like in Treasure Planet. But when it's used as a cheap shortcut, it just clashes horribly.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })This trope is only for animated works with obvious CG. For when CG is conspicuous within a live-action work (or for other, practical bad effects), see Special Effect Failure. See also Uncanny Valley, Serkis Folk, Cel Shading. Often crops up in games with a Sprite/Polygon Mix.
For when everything is CGI, see All-CGI Cartoon. Voluntarily switching between CG and another animation style is Medium Blending.

Adventure Time has very briefly used Adobe Flash in only two episodes, which were merely for tweening to make things move faster and better, first in "Belly of the Beast", when the lava comes into the monster's belly and everything is shaking. The lava and the bears trembling and screaming were animated in Flash too. The other episode to use Flash for one scene was Power Animal, which was used for Jake's dancing.

Blue Submarine No. 6 was one of the first anime to use CG extensively. It looks less visually jarring than pretty much any other Gonzo series, due to the widespread use of blur filters to simulate DOF and that almost anything that isn't a character is CG.

In the various Digimon series, the Ultimate and Mega digivolution transformation sequences of two of however-so-many heroes will have a CGI Transformation Sequence, usually the main hero and The Lancer. All the other characters, without exception, will have traditionally animated digivolutions. It got most ridiculous in Digimon Tamers note where there are three main heroes and just two of them get the CG treatment, leaving out just one and Digimon Data Squadnote where all four main heroes get the CG treatment for all their digivolutions... until Burst Mode comes along, and only two of them get as usual. Digimon Fusion finally brought this usage of the trope to a rest - all fusion and digivolution sequences are traditionally animated - and overall does a better job in avoiding it, with it only noticeably appearing in the first episode.
The effect is invoked for the D-Reaper in Tamers and the Spirits in Frontier.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
A few giant vehicles and objects are rendered with CG, but it's mostly used for animating big, powerful duel monsters, which are often hand-drawn when still, or when 2D elements (such as the humanoid characters) are in the frame. But considering Xyz monsters are supposed to be extra-dimensional, and many of them look fairly creepy or bizarre already (such as Heraldry Crest and the Xyz Gimmick Puppets), the somewhat jarring look of their extravagant motion sometimes works.

Appears in the 2004 animated series for Area88, where the planes are all rendered as intricately detailed, cel-shaded CGI models. As the planes themselves are usually shown dogfighting each other, this isn't quite the limitation it would otherwise be in terms of effects, but there are more than a few instances where CGI and traditional animation mix. This leads to somewhat jarring visual results, most notably when the view zooms in on a pilot in the cockpit. The vivid character models stand out against the often matte rendering textures for the CGI planes.

Later ones are pretty noticeable too, sometimes though being a style choice. Take Hercules: in earlier works, the Hydra had been drawn with 3, 6 and 9 heads; with good CGI Disney managed 21 heads, but attempted to hide it with cel-shading. It's still pretty obvious. In contrast, the flames on Hades' head are CGI, but this is a style choice and no effort is made to hide it.

Slayers: The Next and Try seasons have small bits of CGI incorporated into their openings (the titles for both, an explosion for Next, and a map of the world in Try), but the seasons themselves are all traditionally animated. However, in Revolution and Evolution-R, well-made but horribly noticeable CG is done for some of the spells, water, hallways, and a slew of out-of-place 3D objects for the opening songs.
Before Revolution and Evolution-R was Slayers Premium. Unlike the former, Premium was made when CGI in general, let alone combined with 2D artwork, was still stodgy, yet it's thrown in for a third of the film. The octopi's palace sticks out, as do the octopi's jars, the ocean, and the monster's signature spell.

Dragon Quest VII normally looks like a slightly upgraded Dragon Quest VI with the enemies animating when taking an action. However; many of the backgrounds look out of place, and several of the spells resemble this, Ultra Hit especially. This becomes a bit style-breaking. This is part of the reason that the game looks rather, well, dated.

Winx Club uses CG for, say, school buildings and vehicles. In the second season, most of the scenery is CG-rendered, often very poorly, not to speak of many lame light effects used for magic attacks. Or just see the effect of the rocks falling in the water, in the last episode of that season, and cringe. Or, worst still, some painful CG hair on a masked motorcycle rider. Thankfully, the third season toned down this excess of CG, and many backgrounds look much better.

Both seasons of Rage of Bahamut: Genesis use extensive CG for larger monsters such as the titular dragon Bahamut, but also soldiers in armour and objects. Although anime sometimes uses a little CGI for crowds of people in the background, the CGI here is often displayed in full view, sometimes with CGI soldiers standing next to those animated in 2D.

Justice League:
The league's Space Plane the Javelin and the latter duplicates thereof are entirely CG, which are very jarring.
In Unlimited episode "The Doomsday Sanction", there is a much reviled Special Effects Failure of the Batplane racing to intercept a Nuke over the ocean — all in low-grade CG.
"Dark Heart" contains some truly terrible CGI helicopters.
In "Fearful Symmetry", a CG surgical robot attacks Supergirl. The claw is supposed to grab her arm, but it's about half a second behind her arm movement. You can tell the editors cried a lot over that scene.
One of the most jarring CGI vehicles is the Spy Smasher's plane in a black and white Cold Open flashback meant to be reminiscent of a 1940s adventure serial.

An episode of Naruto has some rather conspicuous CG mountains in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning. This probably has something to do with the fact that a large part of the area is destroyed during the events of the the battle.
Hinata's hair during her fight with Pain.
Long before that, one technique which Orochimaru uses that makes hundreds of snakes with swords in their mouths is in very conspicuous CG.

Averted to the highest degree in Guilty Gear Xrd. Despite having 3D models instead of 2D sprites, Arc System Works went to great lengths to make them look like traditional 2D sprite work, to the point of using limited frames of animation without any noticeable tweening. Of course, the effect is so good that it the game just about plays the trope straight with the backgrounds, which can look somewhat conspicuously 3D compared to the characters.

Eternal Darkness has a couple moments where, instead of fully rendering out a scene, the game will instead use a texture map to depict something that won't be seen past a certain cutscene. The biggest example is right in the introduction, when Alex is brought to identify the corpse of her grandfather Edward; both the view of his corpse and the close-up of his family ring are extremely obvious texture maps.

In RWBY, after the animation transition from Poser to Maya. This happened to Yang's Cool Bike Bumblebee, with some of its textures and modeling making it look more like it was ported directly from the earlier seasons with few changes.
Incidentally, averting this was part of the reason for Yang not using her visually-distinctive Semblence for a few seasons. After the switch, the animators had issues making it look good in Maya, so Yang was written to be trying to rely less on the ability until they could get the look right.

Happens in the various Zoids anime series as well, with varying degrees of success. Oddly, the least successful and most jarring integration occurred in the last series, Zoids: Genesis. Generally forgivable as the CG Zoids and animated humans are rarely in the same non-cockpit shot. Given the size difference between them, the Zoids are usually in the background when humans are at the fore, or vice versa. And the Zoids looked cool.

While later episodes use cel-shading, the cars in early episodes of Initial D stand out extremely oddly from the background, especially as the frame rate used for the CG is much higher than that of the 2D animation. This gimmick is so well-known, parodies of it often reproduce this exactly, even if the show is otherwise traditionally animated. However, in this case, it's actually somewhat necessary, as the task of drawing realistically animated and detailed race scenes would very likely break the time restraints (not to mention the budget) of a television anime. Doesn't make it any less jarring, though.

Ōban Star-Racers is sort of an aversion to this. Racing scenes are rendered in cartoon-style 3D, while all other scenes are drawn in a fairly traditional 2D anime style. However, the 3D and 2D animations are made so close in appearance and often mixed in the same scenes so well that it often takes watching an episode twice to spot the difference in many instances.

Done in Cross Ange for the Para-Mail units, the DRAGONs and the Mana effects to varying degrees of success.
Episode 25 has a poorly animated Hilda model in the background of one scene. It'd be excusable, as the characters are usually rendered in CG for mecha sequences... if it weren't for the model's relative prominence during the scene in question.
Inverted for the Visual Novel based on the series. Most of the characters are fully-CGI models (which fail in their own ways), while others are simple 2D cutouts. This gets pretty ugly when both mediums are actually shown together.

Attack on Titan: The blood splatter and several 3D maneuver gear scenes are done in CG.
When the Colossal Titan swipes the top of the Wall in Episode 5, the effect is in very obvious CGI. It eventually becomes full CGI in almost all of its appearances in Season 2.
In Episode 5, when the soldiers are running and jumping through the city, all the houses are obviously made with CGI.
The bell that rings when the Survey Corps rides out is very conspicuously 3D.
Due to the immense size of Rod Reiss's Titan form, it's also done in CGI except for some closeups of its "face", hands and guts.
It was better when one figures out that most of the CG animation was mostly produced by WIT Studio's subsidiary studio, Production I.Gnote Who in turn, outsourced it to MADBOX.

The later seasons (8 and up) of Red vs. Blue occasionally fall victim to this trope. Animation is used for scenes that aren't possible with the limitations of the Halo game engine. While it typically blends very smoothly, with the animation closely matching Halo 3's style, there are a few points where it's just... off. Obviously any time something is done on-screen that can't be done in-game, the CG is noticeable, but a few scenes are even more noticeable. One particularly noticeable one is the very first CG scene, when Wash is run over by the Warthog. Another is the climatic battle at the end of season 10, where due to the enormous number of Texbots in the background, the shots simply look wrong in comparison to the machinima segments. Such problems were resolved (more or less) in seasons 9 and 10 by having the prequel segments be entirely CG, removing the need to match game lighting and models. And some turned out pretty fantastic, too, like the space battle and the crashing ship in season 10—a lot of people have compared them to real videogame cutscenes!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold uses Conspicuous CG for automobiles and planes, though it still looks better than what's used in Justice League. The 2D drawing style being close to circa-1970 comics style could be part of what makes it Conspicuous, as then anything 3D stands out as being Conspicuously Modern.

The monsters appearing in the film adaptation of King of Thorn are almost always CG-modeled, whilst the main characters are mostly hand-drawn (with some CG added for the action scenes).

Shows up rather painfully in the FMV intros of both Persona 2 games. The only hand-animated parts of the FMVs are the characters, which wouldn't be so bad, but a horribly-rendered Apollo (Tatsuya's ultimate Persona) appears at the end of both. In Eternal Punishment's opening, the rest of the cast's Personas appear, and they're all traditionally animated, along with the creepy looking 3D Apollo. The intro videos for their remakes on the PSP avert this entirely.
Tartarus in the FMVs of Persona 3 is CG'd, although it actually looks less conspicuous than it does in The Movie adaptation that came out a few years later. This can be blamed that the FMV cutscenes for the game are very Off-Model and rather poor, so more focus is drawn to that.

In 1999's ∀ Gundam, it was very conspicuous. That said, it was generally pretty light within the show. The main two examples are a CGI asteroid colony (which looks strange next to all the 2D ships and mobile suits) and the Eye Catch. The Moonlight Butterfly is also computer-animated, but given the nature of the weapon an unsettling out-of-place look isn't unwarranted.

The full-color re-edition of the manga Space Adventure Cobra makes heavy use of CG imagery for backgrounds, vehicles and monsters. Those updated elements are the work of the original author, Buichi Terasawa, and are certainly gorgeous — going easily into Scenery Porn.

Ghost in the Shell:
Subverted, oddly enough, in the original movie, where all the CG looks perfectly fine, despite how it was one of the earliest uses of mass CG in anime (literally the first time for the studio behind it) and just how experimental and varied it was as a result. As in, they clearly had a lot of fun with.
The CG blends in very well in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, notably the robotic Tachikoma. However, the Title Sequence of season 1 is 100% CGI, and looks very different from the rest of the series.
On the other hand, the theatrical film Ghost in the Shell Two: Innocence, which is in an Alternate Continuity from the series, uses almost 100% CGI backgrounds. The CGI is quite breathtakingly gorgeous in places, to the extent that it's a shame they had to obscure it with all that crummy cel animation. It's also an interesting, probably unintentional metaphor for some of the elements of the series, the blending of the new and old.

The openings of the first three Jojos Bizarre Adventure TV series are fully CGI, which causes some color discrepancies between the CG models and the hand-drawn animation.
The opening for Stardust Crusaders's second half has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Iggy done up in 2D animation.
Some of the backgrounds turn into CGI for more complicated panning shots while leaving the characters hand-drawn. Polnareff's first encounter with DIO is a particularly glaring example.
Several of the visual effects also look rather CGI-ish.

Macross has used CG ever since Plus, largely to help flesh out the increasingly complicated transformations of its trademark variable fighters.
Macross Plus was, as stated, the first to use CG — the most conspicuous would be the sequences where you see what the YF-21 is inputting to Bowman's brain and the space fold tunnel. Being the first, the CGI is kept minimal, with the mecha themselves still being hand drawn most of the time.
Macross 7 uses non-cel shaded CGI in the opening at several points (most noticeable with the zoom-out at the beginning). The show itself has none, and renders everything (including mecha, like Plus before it) through more traditional methods.
Macross Zero was the first to use CGI for mecha outright, leading to some very clashing animation.
Macross Frontier uses cel-shaded CG for the mecha, spacecraft, and their requisite battle sequences. If they hand-drew the mechas, the transformation sequence of a single episode would probably drain the budget for the whole season...
Macross Delta's CGI is a mix between Zero's and Frontier's styles.

Pretty Cure:
The transformation sequences in Futari wa Pretty Cure, the Queen of Light, and the Dark King have 3D CG which looks rather odd, since everything else is traditional animation.
The Transformation Sequence for everything after Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GO!GO! bounce back and forth from CG and normal cels — the CG being the transformation device and the normal cel-based animation for everything else.
A horrible case of this, though, comes from Pretty Cure All Stars DX 2, which is a "Super Sentai" Stance pulled off in CG. The fight between Cure Blossom and Cure Marine against Bottom bounces between CG and cel.

There are three Minotaurs in one episode of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? which are quite blatantly CGI. It's easily noticeable since it's a big deal every time a Minotaur shows up beforehand and a normally animated one was on-screen not 10 seconds earlier.

Perfecting a deliberate blend between the two mediums was pretty much the whole point of Treasure Planet, although the Space Whales are still a pretty blatant case of this trope. All technology is CGI while the characters and more 'dated' mechanisms (like B.E.N) are traditionally animated.

Chowder uses a lot of Medium Blending, mostly Stop Motion and puppets, so the one time it uses CG is jarring — and is meant to be. The baby minotaur in "The Deadly Maze" is considered terrifying in-universe.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, art directors at first attempted drawing the Fire Nation tanks by hand, but the design turned out to be so complex that CG had to be brought in.
Later designs for the evil flotilla of zeppelins in the finale are also largely CG. Unfortunately, in some wide shots, the CG suffers from an obvious low frame rate as compared to both the hand-drawn characters in the shot and the moving background paintings, causing them to visibly jump back and forth as the scene zooms out.
Aang chasing the Hei Bai into the forest has the one time CG is used for a human character, namely Aang.
The turning portions of the doors in the Air Temples (the ones that "unlock" via airbending) are obviously CG.

Cel-shaded versions of the robots are used in Transformers Energon and Transformers Cybertron, except in places in Energon where fine movements and great detail were required, which is when they went with normal animation. Human characters are animated normally, effectively "hiding" the CG artifacts as affectations of mechanical lifeforms, but this results in the robot characters' chronic inability to facially emote.
Cybertron foregoes the cel-shading entirely, making it all the more obvious. Though the animation (especially facially) itself is vastly improved by comparison.
Before that, Transformers: Robots in Disguise also utilized CG animation for several shots of the robots during the Japanese opening. While less jarring over there thanks to being very little in the way of interaction between the two mediums, the toy-like accuracy put on the 3D models makes the battle between Optimus and Megatron look very stiff compared to the rest of the sequence. The dub also adds some overlays that clearly don't fit with the animation it's attatched to.

"Out to Launch", the first "outer space" episode of Phineas and Ferb features this in spades. Dr. Doofenshmirtz's giant robot in particular will switch between traditional cel animation and 3D animation between cuts.
"The Chronicles of Meap", for Meap's spaceship and for Balloony/Collin (the latter of which falls somewhat in the Uncanny Valley)
The Christmas Episode, for Santa's sleigh.
"Cheer Up Candace", for the Mix-and-Mingler Machine and for when everyone is ejected there (a particularly egregious example)
In fact, in later episodes, CG is used extensively for moving vehicles and other such things.

Lost Universe uses CG for some of the scenes involving the spaceships, with fairly good results (though sometimes the frame rate of the CG sequences is very low, giving quite a jarring effect. Other times they're smooth as silk). What's unusual is that the ships are just as often rendered with normal cel-animation, which is... not as cool-looking.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Yuya and his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon are done in CG when they go in for a finishing move. The first few times are quite jarring because of how Off-Model Yuya is, but later episodes fix this somewhat. Notably, Yuya and Odd-Eyes are the only ones to be CG; Shun is not depicted in CG when he rides his Raidraptor monsters. The four Dimension Dragons and their evolutions (including Supreme King Z-ARC), Jack's Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, and Reiji's Armageddon monsters are the only other examples of this trope.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. King Dedede and Escargoon switch from being cel-shaded CG'd to being animated regularly, and Kirby is (almost) never shown any other way. It isn't too noticeable with Kirby, but Dedede and Escargoon seem to lose the ability to emote in any way beyond "mouth open/mouth closed", and have somewhat smoother shading and occasional visible polygons. This sometimes happens with other characters as well, though this gets less frequent as the series goes on. And, of course, various machines and vehicles, as well as various things that are particularly large (the monster transporter, Dedede's tank and car, the Halberd, thousands of marching Waddle Dees, etc.) are almost always CG'd. The CG is also of a noticeably different frame rate from the rest of the animation at times. According to an interview, this was done to get smoother animation (and more frames of it) without overworking the animators.
Dyna Blade, the giant armor-covered god-bird, is completely CGI in all of her appearances. She is also rendered pretty realistically compared to the rest of the CGI, with gradual shading, more muted colors and highlights. Though a bit jarring seeing her with the other CGI and hand-drawn portions, it does lend her an otherworldly feel.
One late episode is about a mother and baby whale. Jarringly, the mother is rendered in CG and the baby isn't.

The BattleTech animated series used CGI when the mech pilots turned on "Enhanced Vison" for battle scenes. It's stylized with wireframe terrain and outlines around the mechs, but the jump between the two is extremely jarring and its usage is inconsistent; the rare conventionally animated battles are (relatively) decently animated.

The Spectacular Spider-Man
The series has highly simplified, bright, flat character and background designs, so when fully CGI black helicopters show up, it's rather jarring.
The worst example is a large Christmas tree in the second season episode "Reinforcement". It topples over after being set on fire and somehow manages to clip through the 2D background elements in the same scene, while moving extremely unconvincingly for an object of its size.

A very jarring example of this is Dragon Quest IX: in the overworld, most NPCs are 2D sprites, while plot-relevant characters are 3D models. Made more obvious with Erinn, Patty and Sellma, who actually switch back and forth between the two graphic styles if they're relevant to the plot or just NPCs you talk to for multiplayer stuff.

Shadowrun Returns: Characters and effects are rendered in 3D animation "on-the-fly" as opposed to using pre-rendered sprites like Fallout. The backgrounds are standard 2D artwork. The advantage here is there is no need to store animation frames for all the possible weapon/armour/implant combos in all the required actions and poses. It also allows implants to be represented easily by re-texturing parts of the character.

Beast Machines utilizes a different, much more simplified design style, which makes all the Flashbacks to Beast Wars and the occasionally reappearing old designs stand out. They actually re-textured the main cast's beast modes for the pilot episode, so while their buildup looks outdated, their textures match the new style.

Dragon Ball Super uses CGI for most characters' Battle Aura rather than hand drawing it like in the old days. Although most auras blend in quite nicely, some tend to noticeably stick out, such as Jiren's full power form.
Even before this, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods and Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ also used CGI for their climatic fight scenes. To say these were jarring compared to the surrounding 2D animation would be an Understatement.
Similarly, the climatic fights in Dragon Ball Super: Broly are clearly not only done in CGI, but blatantly use the character model from Dragon Ball Fighter Z.

Macross Plus was, as stated, the first to use CG — the most conspicuous would be the sequences where you see what the YF-21 is inputting to Bowman's brain and the space fold tunnel. Being the first, the CGI is kept minimal, with the mecha themselves still being hand drawn most of the time.

For the most part, Kekkaishi is an example of the right way to mix computer graphics and hand-drawn animation. The barriers and Instant Runes are done so well that you could watch the whole series without realizing how they were done. But then you see a car moving and it all goes to hell. Automobile animation is still the kryptonite of CG.

Lupin III:
In Return Of The Magician, the animators didn't even try to make the CG of Pycal's home or the crystals mesh with the surrounding animation. It could've been a deliberate choice, because the crystals are supposed to come from another world.
Used again, in Green vs. Red, for the "Ice Cube" MacGuffin. It stands out a little, but since the rest of the animation in the special is so over the top, not as much as it could have.
Seven Days Rhapsody has the Goddess's Teardrop animated in CG; it doesn't even try to blend in and looks ridiclously 3D and shiny compared to the rest of the standard animation.
Lupin III: Princess of the Breeze has CG for all of the aircraft.
Gravestone of Daisuke Jigen uses CG for crowds and even flags waving in the breeze. The quality of the 2D animation however makes a lot up for that.
The Goodbye Partner special utilizes it for closeups of Girl of the Week Alisa Cartright playing piano, making her arms look feakishly long when both mediums are shown together in one shot.

Fate/Zero uses CG to animate Berserker, intentionally making him as alien-looking and out-of-place as he is described in the novel. CGI is also used for cars, backgrounds, the opening and ending themes and the next episode preview. In other words, anything that's not an organic creature or humannote though there are the worms in episode one, and Saber does go CGI for a couple of scenes in episodes 23 and 24. This also is coupled with a wavering quality of either the animation, integration, or both.

Used extensively (and expensively) in Futurama.
It's more prevalent in the earlier seasons, especially when used on Bender. For someone who's a robot, these are the only instances in which he actually... looks robotic.
The 3D camera movement effects make it especially noticeable.

Although most cel-shaded video game aim to emulate the look of animated cartoons, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker actually emphasizes the 3D aspect of cel-shading by removing the black outlines found in other cel-shaded games and by using more realistic effects such as heat distortion and softer lighting gradients. The result is an unprecedented artstyle that is not only gorgeous, but also has aged extremely well, making this example one of the rare times that Conspicuous CG is actually a good thing.

The Fairly OddParents!:
Most of Abra Catastrophe was done this way, as was the TV world in Channel Chasers.
An early season one episode has a Matrix parody, as does Wishology, covered below. Both times the CGI is so blatant it had to have been intentional.
Wishology features a lot of CGI, particularly the Eliminators. It's a little jarring to some, as the Eliminators almost look like they're from a completely different show.

Courage the Cowardly Dog:
The show is notable in its use of this trope for horror. Some of the most terrifying characters in the show are modeled with CG.
The best known example is the "Perfect Trumpet Thingy" from "Perfect" (considered the scariest thing on the show and is the page picture of the Courage the Cowardly Dog Nightmare Fuel page).

Backyard Sports used CG model characters beginning with Backyard Baseball 2001 during the aerial views. Unfortunately, they forgot to make the crowds CG too, not to mention the kids become hand-drawn again in the closeups, such as with batting or doing penalty kicks.

Before that, Transformers: Robots in Disguise also utilized CG animation for several shots of the robots during the Japanese opening. While less jarring over there thanks to being very little in the way of interaction between the two mediums, the toy-like accuracy put on the 3D models makes the battle between Optimus and Megatron look very stiff compared to the rest of the sequence. The dub also adds some overlays that clearly don't fit with the animation it's attatched to.

Invader Zim, mostly for space sequences and the like.
According to the commentary on the DVDs, the CG was so expensive that the mere addition of walnuts to the "Room With A Moose" episode blew a severe part of the budget. However, this may be an exaggeration. Not only that, but they didn't even ask for CG walnuts; they just got them.
Not to mention the very CG "Nano-Zim," an episode where nearly all the scenes taking place inside Dib's body are CG, complete with fighting CG nanobot mechs. This episode seems to be the most well-known example of using up so much of the budget.

In Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, CG is used when the rabbits are floating about in the giant vacuum thing. It stands out more, as it is CG shown against stop-motion clay animation. The bunnies themselves are deliberately animated to look like claymation, but they float smoothly around in the air tunnel and that gives away the fact that they're CG.

A small handful of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes use CG scenery, usually blending it with the 2-D pretty well. At times, it sticks out:
"Jellyfish Jam"; the first episode to use CG, for a panning shot from SpongeBob's house to Squidward's house.
"The Fry Cook Games"; the exterior shots of the Fast Food Coliseum are CGI, allowing the camera to move but unfortunately not hiding itself very well.
"No Free Rides"; several times through the entire boat-stealing sequence, the ground below is CG, most notably when the street signs are shown moving towards the screen.
"The Sponge Who Could Fly"; the "lost episode" begins with SpongeBob walking in place while CG ground scrolls beneath him, passing an occasional 2D rock or coral.
"The Best Day Ever"; during the opening number, SpongeBob is running along the sides of his pineapple house. Not only is it 3D, it appears to be a perfect sphere.
"Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm" - the scene where Spongebob and Sandy are running from the worm uses very obvious CG on the coral/trees.
"Atlantis SquarePantis": the inside of the bus that takes the gang to Atlantis is rendered in CG.
"House Fancy": the House Fancy TV show opening is done in CG.
"The Monster Who Came to Bikini Bottom": the scene where the monster smashes people's houses uses obvious 3D models of SpongeBob's pineapple and Patrick's rock.
"Mooncation": the moon landscape is rendered entirely in CG.
"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV": It has SpongeBob slowly denting into the metal wall rendered in CG from the outside, before it switches to the standard 2-D painted background of the hole in the metal wall.

Pokémon:
All the movies have made use of CG, with varying amounts of success. Poké Balls began to be animated using CG during the Johto era, and other CG effects began to be used more often in the main series from the start of the Battle Frontier saga.
There are times in which certain Pokémon are shown in CGI. In the 11th movie, there is a Mamoswine stampede that makes the Mamoswine look like they are made out of clay. In an early Diamond and Pearl episode, Combee appear in this style, looking really out of place (nevermind that Combee are cartoony insect-like Pokémon). In Black and White, Klink and its evolutions are always in CG, like the Unown swarm in the 3rd movie. Plenty of attacks in the Diamond and Pearl series of the anime also have a tendency to clash with the animation, although Pikachu's entire tail turning into a CG object when using Iron Tail in the Best Wishes seasons is probably more noticeable.
In a late Best Wishes episode, Jessie and James partecipate to a Pokémon Sumo competition with Meowth wearing a Golem costume, which is blatantly cel-shaded CG as shown by the way the head wobbles.

Sonic X, of course, was produced on a shoestring budget, but even for its day (2003), the CG is pathetic. A 14-year-old with hex editor could do better. Almost every explosion is computer-rendered, for better or for worse, and whenever Sonic spin-dashes, he's always computer-rendered for no other reason than to make it look cool. The one time he isn't rendered is probably the coolest spin-dash in the whole show.
It was better when one figures out that the 3DCG animation was mostly produced by TMS' subsidiary studio, ufotable.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
The show surprisingly uses CGI to animate the Timberwolves in the episode "Spike at Your Service". While there may be an off-chance that this was used intentionally to make them look strange, it's nonetheless quite jarring since they last appeared in "Family Appreciation Day" Flash-animated like everything else and the animators had already proven they could pull off convincing 3D effects without CGI before.

Tekkonkinkreet's CGI similarly succeeds in avoiding this trope by incorporating traditional elements. Cityscape textures rendered in 3D are hand-drawn, and the cel shading works remarkably well with the simplistic art style of characters, especially when applied to vehicles. Even though moving vehicles tend to be cel shaded, the bits of shading look handmade, and static vehicles are either rendered with irregular lines or are simply drawn from scratch.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
One episode has the realistic guns on one of Bandit Keith's monsters replaced with futuristic lasers for the English dub. However, the lasers are done in CGI, which jar dramatically with the monster's hand-drawn body.
The backs and fronts of the detailed playing cards are all CGI.
The dice used in Dungeon Dice Monsters, too, in the dub.
When the Nesbitt of the Big Five destroys one of Tristan's monsters, his Machine King's arm has a ridiculous amount of CG.
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions uses it quite well, given its budget, but invokes this and Uncanny Valley for Aigami's unusual Cubic monsters.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
The stark contrast in between the Conspicuous CG Riding Duel segments and the rest of the series.
The monsters tend to somehow be more two-dimensional in the CGI than in the handmade drawings.
The fifth opening makes it even ridiculous when, at the beginning, we see the six dragons of the main characters: Stardust Dragon, Red Demon's Dragon, Black Feather Dragon and Black Rose Dragon are CGI, but Ancient Fairy Dragon and Power Tool Dragon are animated in 2D.
Season 0 tends to utilize this more frequently.
The CGI swimsuits put on Alexis/Asuka and her friends in the 4Kids version of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, to give the impression they're not in a onsen but in a pool. A pool with steam all around, apparently...
The crappy CGI shirt that was used to cover Yami's collarbone and shoulders.
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL
A few giant vehicles and objects are rendered with CG, but it's mostly used for animating big, powerful duel monsters, which are often hand-drawn when still, or when 2D elements (such as the humanoid characters) are in the frame. But considering Xyz monsters are supposed to be extra-dimensional, and many of them look fairly creepy or bizarre already (such as Heraldry Crest and the Xyz Gimmick Puppets), the somewhat jarring look of their extravagant motion sometimes works.
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V
Yuya and his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon are done in CG when they go in for a finishing move. The first few times are quite jarring because of how Off-Model Yuya is, but later episodes fix this somewhat. Notably, Yuya and Odd-Eyes are the only ones to be CG; Shun is not depicted in CG when he rides his Raidraptor monsters. The four Dimension Dragons and their evolutions (including Supreme King Z-ARC), Jack's Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, and Reiji's Armageddon monsters are the only other examples of this trope.
Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
The code Talkers, Firewall Dragon, and many of Varis's powerful dragonsnote Topologic Bomber Dragon, Cracking Dragon, Borreload Dragon, Topologic Trisbaena, Borrelsword Dragon, Borrelguard Dragon, and Topologic Gumblar Dragon, are all in CGI.

In The Adventures of Lomax, although the game is almost entirely in 2D, there are a few elements that are, for some reason, made in 3D, and due to their low level of detail it's rather noticeable. The most egregious examples are obstacles that attempt to use 3D perspective, usually only creating confusion about whether they're currently in a position where they can hit you or not.

An odd example appears in Beast Wars. In each season, characters like Optimus, Megatron and Cheetor change alongside the technology, while other characters like Rhinox, Inferno, Waspinator and Blackarachnia (until her upgrade) did not. This makes their jagged shapes and low-resolution textures look out of place compared to the others.
Beast Machines utilizes a different, much more simplified design style, which makes all the Flashbacks to Beast Wars and the occasionally reappearing old designs stand out. They actually re-textured the main cast's beast modes for the pilot episode, so while their buildup looks outdated, their textures match the new style.
Transformers: Prime has a bizarre inversion in the episode "Rebellion", where in a couple of scenes, Alpha Trion is depicted as a hand-painted image while Prime himself is his usual CG model.
While the robots and their alt forms in Transformers: Rescue Bots are generally 2D (via Flash), they occasionally switch over to blatantly obvious 3D starting in season 2.
Transformers: Robots in Disguise manages to invert this trope. The majority of the show is 3D CGI, but some parts of it, particularly some of the backgrounds, are 2D. The premiere episode even features a bluebird that is very obviously 2D.

The CG blends in very well in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, notably the robotic Tachikoma. However, the Title Sequence of season 1 is 100% CGI, and looks very different from the rest of the series.

Sailor Moon
Each of the movies includes an exterior shot of the Big Bad's base rendered in CG. Even with a grainy filter added to make it blend in, it's still very noticeable.
The CGI Idiosyncratic Wipes that DiC added into their dub. It looks terrible next to the first season's (not all that great) traditional cel animation.

In the 2008 adaptation of the anime Someday's Dreamers ~Summer Skies~, the backgrounds are so realistic that they might as well be photographs. Unfortunately, they contrast sharply with the much less detailed character designs, accentuating the lower quality of the moving animation.

If you watch an early episode of South Park concurrently with a later one, the CG used for the later episode can be jarring in how obvious it is. Interestingly, every episode except for the original pilot ("Jesus vs. Santa") and "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" is entirely CG animated with 3D software!
There's also the episode that re-uses footage from the first episode. Now that's a sticky situation!
South Park, in its first two seasons, also had a tendency to use "Conspicuous Live-Action Footage": this is because the computers Trey Parker and Matt Stone used didn't yet have the horsepower to render certain scenes in real time, so they would sometimes superimpose animated characters and props over live-action video clips. A good example of this is in "Mecha Streisand." There's a scene in the episode where Chef is driving through the mountains with Leonard Maltin. The characters and their car are superimposed over a live-action video of the Rocky Mountains.
The "Cthulhu Trilogy" of episodes has the eponymous Eldritch Abomination and the other creatures rendered in CG, with a very heavy but intentional contrast with the paper cut-out style of the other characters, to show how utterly alien they are.
In a lot of the later episodes, even the background shots of the suburbs and the town are very clearly 3D.
All inner body shots in "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining" are 3D.
One iteration of the opening (first seen in "Let Go, Let Gov") has the characters (still rendered in their flat, construction paper style) in a fully photoreal, cardboard-looking environment. Which is both impressive and jarring at the same time.

The Arkentools in Erfworld are rendered images superimposed on the drawn art. In this case, it's a deliberate effect intended to make them stand out by looking a bit "otherworldly". In a similar vein, the use of digital brushes is very conspicuous in the scenes with masses of bats.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
The stark contrast in between the Conspicuous CG Riding Duel segments and the rest of the series.
The monsters tend to somehow be more two-dimensional in the CGI than in the handmade drawings.
The fifth opening makes it even ridiculous when, at the beginning, we see the six dragons of the main characters: Stardust Dragon, Red Demon's Dragon, Black Feather Dragon and Black Rose Dragon are CGI, but Ancient Fairy Dragon and Power Tool Dragon are animated in 2D.

SPY Fox in Hold the Mustard uses CG for the main vehicle used in the game. In still images it blends in pretty well, since it's cel-shaded. In motion, though, it moves so smoothly without changing appearance that it's pretty blatant it's just a 3D model.

The Family Guy episode "One if by Clam, Two if by Sea" has a Tron lightcycle sequence done mostly in 3D, like the movie. The reproduction of The A-Team's opening sequence in another episode uses it for vehicle shots. And most of the space battles in the Star Wars spoofs. After it was Un-Cancelled, all vehicles use CG rather than traditional animation. Same with the moving backgrounds when it is shown inside a vehicle, rendering a Wraparound Background in three-dimensional CGI.
The Simpsons surprisingly still averts that; in many cases there are often still flat drawings and animation of vehicles used, along with traditional flat moving backgrounds for shots inside vehicles being driven.

Titan A.E. mostly uses 3D for ships and environments and 2D for characters, playing to the strengths of both mediums without (for the most part) trying to disguise either as the other.
