** Gus points this out in the Season 4 finale after DaChief points out on Shawn's theory of [[spoiler:Mary Lightly being Mr. Yin]] being outlandish ([[spoiler:though she has a point; Mary was actually a RedHerring set up by the real Mr. Yin]]), saying their track record speaks for themselves. The Chief, though still skeptical, concedes the point.

** No matter how many times Buffy saved Sunnydale High from not just vampires, but bug people, evil robots, invisible people, fish monsters, nightmares come alive, ghosts, reanimated corpses, werewolves, and ancient evil abominations, most of the school populace treated her as a CoolLoser at best. However, this was subverted toward the end of the third season at the prom, where the entire graduating class gave their thanks to Buffy for saving them multiple times. And this was right after saving them from some hellhounds, too.

** Corrado "Junior" Soprano is the most senior member of the [=DiMeo=] family, but he constantly gets passed over for the position of acting boss in favor of men decades his junior, including his own nephew Tony. Though respected by the Mafia back in New York, the Mafia in New Jersey dislikes him and all of its captains declare for Tony in case Junior tries to contest his bid to leadership. Even after Tony relents and allows Junior to be the boss without a fight, the captains still consider Tony the real leader and try to give him the final say on everything, while merely [[AuthorityInNameOnly paying lip service to Junior]]. In fact, Junior only has any authority at all because Tony backs him out of love; on one occasion, the captains ignore Junior's order and look to Tony instead, to which Tony responds by reiterating his uncle's order to save his face.

** In season 1, Christopher Moltisanti is a young Mafia associate who pulls his weight and is often trusted with important tasks, but that doesn't stop him from being treated like an errand boy by the bigshots because he isn't a made guy. Chris deeply resents this and often takes it out on those around him, which gives him a reputation for immaturity that isn't helping his disrespected status. Also, Chris is [[PintsizedPowerhouse pretty skinny]] and [[TheNapoleon short]] for a Mafia thug, so a lot of civilians [[UnderestimatingBadassery don't believe he's a mob guy]] and [[BerserkButton openly disrespect him]]. By Season 2, this problem improves somewhat since he's running his own joint and has his own crew, though that comes with its own sets of problems since his crew only obeys him due to the reputation of his boss, not him.
