** In ''The Beast with a Billion Backs,'' Leela is the only one in the universe to reject Yivo's marriage proposal, with the narrative framing her as overly cynical due to how much of a paradise Yivo's body is. She even comes around at the end, admitting she was just afraid to love again. However, Yivo spent most of the movie forcibly sticking its tentacles down people's necks to brainwash them into bliss, with Leela being the only one to avoid capture; her reveal that this was how Yivo ''[[DoubleStandardRapeSciFi mated]]'' with people understandably disgusts everyone until Yivo gives a half-hearted apology and offers to start over. Leela's skepticism thus makes far more sense than Yivo being EasilyForgiven, especially since she was never captured and brainwashed by the tentacle. This also makes it easier to root for Bender when he jealously attacks Yivo to get Fry back, even if [[RightForTheWrongReasons he was more concerned with wanting Fry to himself again than Fry's actual safety]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'': Skipper pulls one towards himself in "Launchtime". He has a JerkassRealization while being at the mercy of the Moon Cat's "hospitality" and believes he should have been a better neighbor to the Lemurs, but given how invasive and disrespectful the lemurs have been so far of the Penguins's stuff and that they have spent the whole episode taking advantage of their absence to steal their TV, it is hard to blame Skipper for putting limits on their behavior. It is worth mentioning that it becomes an IgnoredAesop at the end, but it is more because of InsaneTrollLogic [[note]] The moon cat wasn't from the moon, so the "moon cat hospitality" doesn't exist.[[/note]] that Skipper realizing he was right all along.

** In "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E6HootysMovingHassle Hooty's Moving Hassle]]", King is understandably annoyed when [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEdaClawthorne Eda Clawthorne]] decides to gamble for the Elixir for what turned out to be a trap, But the corrupt Tibbles was charging more for the elixir than she had in her wallet, she couldn't use her powers due to her curse, meaning the only other choice was to go full Owl Beast.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' has Gwen fall victim to this in "The Chefshank Redemption" from ''Action''. The Killer Grips blackmail her into losing the challenge and ultimately eliminating herself as revenge for how Trent would keep throwing challenges for the aforementioned team. However, Gwen was completely unaware of the fact that Trent was throwing the challenges for his team on purpose in order to keep her safe so she's basically being punished for something that was both out of her hands and not even her fault. Her constant misfortunes throughout the episode that're supposed to be viewed as "Karma" (such as being puked on by Lindsay) but instead come across as needless torture don't help, either.

** In the first revival season, Millie's psychological reports on the other contestants are meant to be shady and holier-than-thou. While doing this behind the other contestants' backs is unethical, the actual points she makes in these reports hold up fairly well, particularly when it comes to Priya's parents. Despite Priya insisting she loves her parents and it's wrong for Millie to report on them, their behavior includes [[AbusiveParents putting Priya through intense athletic gauntlets from a very young age to fulfill their fantasy, suppressing her own desire to be a doctor, and leaving her alone in the woods]] -- behaviors that would not only be taken seriously in a less comedic setting, but likely be ''mandated'' reporting regardless of Priya's personal feelings. Additionally, while her resentful attitude towards her generation is meant to hide an InferioritySuperiorityComplex, the depiction of characters heavily tied to contemporary culture like [[AlphaBitch Julia]] and [[BadInfluencer Chase]] make it hard not to see her point.
