* During Makoto's ''Help Me!!'' segment in ''[[VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND]]'', Kokonoe demands that Makoto [[ACupAngst explain her shelf]], to which she responds "You want me to explain furniture?" While this would be a typical response from a {{ditz}} and fit this trope under normal circumstances, the look on her face suggested she ''knew'' what Kokonoe was talking about, and she missed the point on purpose.

* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEchoesShadowsOfValentia'', Jesse tells Celica that she'd ''probably'' be okay if she only went after one of Grieth's commanders (Deen or Sonya) instead of both of them. Boey asks what would happen if the other one [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge swore revenge and came after them]] instead of running off. Jesse admits that, yeah, they'd probably be dead. (Mind, this is just after they freed him from a cell because he tried to save a girl from Grieth's men by himself on top of that.) Boey comments that [[SarcasmMode it's amazing that Jesse has survived as a mercenary for so long]], and Jesse proceeds to take that remark as flattery instead of the insult it is.
