* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' gives us "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E74DeathsHeadRevisited Death's-Head Revisited]]", in which a Nazi officer revisits a concentration camp seventeen years after the war. He runs across a former inmate, and a battle of wills begins. It's not until the end that the officer remembers that he ''killed'' the inmate in question the night the Allies liberated the camp -- the implication being that he'd killed so many people that he simply ''forgot'' until then.

* ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'': Played for laughs in the final episode of the second series, which includes a rare example of the BigBad being on the receiving end of this trope. Prince Ludwig seems surprised that Blackadder, Melchett and Queenie do not remember him, and then proceeds to remind them of a time each of them had met him -- examples which vary from obscure to downright ridiculous (/depraved. [[YouDoNotWantToKnow Looking at you, Melchett]]).

* ''Series/{{Underground}}'': In the episode "Firefly" John Hawkes says to his wife, "the worst day of that man's life was just another Tuesday in the office for me" (as a lawyer, he oversaw an estate sale where his slave's family was sold off). Subverted in a sense because this isn't a villain being indifferent to his victims' suffering but a cause of shame, guilt and also a motivation to do good for him.
