** The Security Team on the ''Cerritos'' run on this. During their downtime, they're shown engaging in slam poetry, puzzles, charades, and tarot card reading, among others. This really disappoints Boimler as he expects them to be running drills and doing target practice. However, when danger strikes, they're able to take down the threat with minimal effort.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': It is frequently made clear that [[Characters/RickAndMortyJerrySmith Jerry Smith]] could actually accomplish quite a lot in his life if only he could overcome his many insecurities and apply himself more. This is best demonstrated in "Rick Potion #9" where he takes on the mutant apocalypse -- and wins. Jerry seems to do best when lives are on the line, and miserably the rest of the time. In "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez", despite starting simply trying to cower in a hole, he eventually guns his way to rescue his wife while also thinking up how to deal with the monster version of Beth. During "The Wedding Squanchers" when the Galactic Federation attacks the wedding, he picks up a gun to defend his family. That it was a harmless confetti gun should not count for lack of trying.
** When push comes to shove, Jerry is pretty capable and respectable when need be. This is one of Rick's problems with him. Rather than step up to the plate and take charge (as Rick mentioned in "Pickle Rick", he likes doers), he sees Jerry's attempts at being a wimp not as a sign of vulnerability or weakness; but rather one of manipulation to get others to carry his load. If Jerry could just stop acting like a wimp and step up like they both know he could, Rick wouldn't be such a hardass to him.
