* There are a few instances of this in ''{{Survival of the Fittest}}''. A notable example is that of Seth Mattlock rescuing Bryan Calvert and Tory Johnson from a player - pulling it off in the true spirit of the trope: just in the nick of time. Amusingly, this is because he ''waited'' before pulling off the save, although he was, admittedly, trying to get the best possible shot on the bad guy. [[spoiler:It also turns into an unintentional HeroicSacrifice.]]

* Almost every time a new character is introduced in ''DeadFantasy'', said character is intervening to aid someone else in a fight. In fact, very few fights have had a clear winner, since every time someone's on the verge of defeat, someone else has come to save them. So far, Rikku, Hitomi, Tifa, Rinoa, [[spoiler:Cloud]], and [[spoiler:Ryu Hayabusa]] have pulled BigDamnHeroes moments.

** Later in the same entry, [[spoiler:Jay hears screaming from Jessica's room and opens the door to run right into the Operator. He supposedly tries tackling the Operator with a quasi-muffled shout of "LEAVE US ALONE!" It backfires horribly, and as a result he loses all memory of the events in the seven month span between April and November 2010.

* ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief'' has had a few of these moments in the series:
** During the show's 5th Season Finale, when [[BigBad Trent Donnovich]] [[FiveBadBand and his staff]] have the Arbiter (and Chief) and Claire cornered and ready to ban his account [[spoiler:after Arbiter and Chief had ruined Trent's Wedding to expose Trent's affair]], who of all people arrives to save them but [[UglyCute Greg the Spider]], who frags them all without the least bit of trouble before exiting, [[TheVoiceless all without saying a word]].
** Just about any time Arbiter and Master Chief go up against any/all the members of [[FourTemperamentEnsemble Chaos Theosis]] throughout Season 6.
*** One rather anti-climactic (but still PlayedForLaughs) variant in particular occurs when Chief rescues Arbiter from [[DarkActionGirl Kylie]] [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu and surprisingly fragbans her]] in short order.
** Arbiter and Chief last stand against Eugene and his Troll Clan during the last episodes of [[DarkerAndEdgier Season 7]].
