** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'': Kindly but strict Mrs. Weasley does this twice over her kids using the flying car without permission. While the first instance is downplayed because the twins and Ron left at night to save Harry from his cruel aunt and uncle, this makes the second instance all the more justified: Harry and Ron left in ''broad daylight'', were spotted by a handful of muggles, nearly got killed by the Whomping Willow, broke Ron's wand, caused the car to get lost in the Forbidden Forest, ''and'' got Ron's father in trouble at work. And it all [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot could have been avoided]] if Harry had just sent Hedwig to Hogwarts to let the school know they couldn't get onto the platform (which Harry admits, to his shame, that he didn't think of until [=McGonagall=] brought it up). Along with getting punished by the school, Mrs. Weasley sends a Howler to Ron over this second instance, so that ''everyone in the Great Hall'' can hear it. [[spoiler: The flying car does end up saving them later in the book, however.]]

** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'': Professor Lupin, one of the kinder teachers Harry and Ron have ever had and an old friend of Harry's father, gives one to Harry and Ron when he discovers Harry has been using the Marauder's Map to sneak out of Hogwarts while alleged murderer Sirius Black is at large, [[spoiler: supposedly]] looking for Harry. Lupin brings up that not only could the Map have aided in capturing Sirius Black the last time he was in the castle had Harry handed it in sooner, but that Harry undervalues his parents' sacrifice by being so reckless. He confiscates the Map, and Harry walks away feeling ashamed. [[spoiler: While Sirius turns out not to be the criminal everyone believes he is, it is only after Lupin confiscates the Map that he discovers the truth about the real murderer, Peter Pettigrew.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': While Della acts as more of a CoolBigSis than a mom to Huey, Dewey, and Louie when she first returns from the moon, nearly losing her family to Louie's scheme in "Timephoon!" causes her to put her foot down and call Louie out for not thinking of the consequences of his actions. When Louie [[ArmorPiercingResponse points out]] that Della is in no position to criticize him since [[LikeParentLikeChild this same behavior]] got Della stuck on the moon all those years ago, Della responds by grounding him until he understands the gravity of the situation.

While the first instance is downplayed because the twins and Ron left at night to save Harry from his cruel aunt and uncle, this makes the second instance all the more justified: Harry and Ron left in ''broad daylight'', were spotted by 12 muggles, nearly got killed by the Whomping Willow, broke Ron's wand, caused the car to get lost in the Forbidden Forest, ''and'' got Ron's father in trouble at work. And it all [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot could have been avoided]] if Harry and Ron had just waited to see if the Weasley parents could return from Platform 9 3/4.

* ''Theatre/InTheHeights'': In "Enough", Camilla spends the second half of the song calling out her daughter Nina for not coming home during the city-wide blackout, as well as hiding that she had dropped out of Stanford for months after losing her scholarship, because they would have helped her more had they known.

It's very common for the parents who deliver these speeches to be shy, non-confrontational, or just extremely devoted to the child in question - until said child pushes them too far. It may even be a plot point that the parent's inability to say "no" to their offspring has actually given rise to [[SpoiledBrat diatribe-worthy behaviour]] in the first place, adding the subtextual need to correct old mistakes to the monologue. However, it's also possible for this to be delivered by a "hard-but-fair" no-nonsense parental figure.

* Within the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fandom, it's not uncommon to encounter spitefics in which Charlie finally calls Bella out on her selfish, self-destructive behaviour and her habit of treating him like dirt - sometimes to the point of just kicking her out of his house. Blog/DasSporking has an archive of them.

* Early in ''Literature/WorldWarZ,'' Saladin Kader recounts that when Israel began offering asylum to Palestinian refugees, he was seventeen and already radicalized - and didn't believe that an imminent ZombieApocalypse was prompting this offer. Though his father attempted to accept this, young Saladin refused, instead boasting that he would instead join a fundamentalist terrorist group, mocking his father for his timidity, even referring to the poor man as "a whore of the yehud". Unknown to him, his normally-sedate father had actually seen the zombies during his work at the local hospital and for once was ''not'' in the mood for Saladin's attitude: slapping the crap out of his son, he made it clear in no uncertain fashion that they were ''all'' going to Jerusalem. As he laughingly recounts, Saladin was left too scared to be his usual brash self, and meekly joined his father in accepting the offer of asylum.

* Throughout the present-day segments of ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse,'' Hugh Crain has been constantly on the defensive whenever his eldest son lashes out, being usually too crushed by his past failings to retaliate against [[ObsessivelyNormal Steve's]] [[TheScully constant scepticism]]; plus, he's more interested in protecting his adult children from the AwfulTruth than winning any kind of debate. However, in the episode "Witness Marks," Hugh finally shuts down Steve's endless dismissals by providing incontrovertible proof that [[EldritchLocation Hill House]] is a very real threat to the family - and refuses to let Steve interrupt him this time. [[spoiler: For good measure, he provides incontrovertible proof that Steve has unknowingly encountered the supernatural before, meaning that the supposedly sane, rational member of the family has been wrong about everything.]] For once, the professional debunker has nothing to say.

* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E16DrBashirIPresume Dr Bashir I Presume]]" actually provides a back-to-back example of CallingTheOldManOut and CallingTheYoungManOut: after being accidentally outed as a genetically-engineered superhuman, Julian Bashir is fully prepared to [[ResignedInDisgrace resign from Starfleet]], resulting in yet another argument with his father - this time over the decision to have Julian genetically altered in the first place. However, when he bitterly accuses his parents of having him altered out of shame for his apparent mental deficiency, his normally-placid mother finally shocks Jules into silence by pointing out that he's never understood their motivations, nor has he ever tried to: they weren't ashamed, but guilty - blaming ''themselves'' for his childhood difficulties. The revelation ''instantly'' defuses the argument.
* Throughout ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E145TheMasks The Masks]]," the dying Jason Foster spends his final hours quietly snarking at his family, always sailing just below the line of flat-out insulting them. However, once it finally becomes clear that they're more interested in getting his inheritance instead of actually connecting with him on any level - or even ''pretending'' to be anything other than utterly hateful people - Jason blasts the entire group with a bitter diatribe targeting their many, many flaws: his daughter's hypochondria and selfishness, his son-in-law's greed, his granddaughter's narcissism, and his grandson's cruelty. [[spoiler: He then dies, leaving them disfigured by the enchanted masks he's had them wear.]]

** The final confrontation with [[spoiler: Andrew Ryan]] quickly transforms into one of these: [[spoiler: Ryan is actually Jack's biological father; furthermore, he has been gradually learning of how you were sold to Frank Fontaine and remoulded into a ManchurianAgent to help him take over Rapture. For this reason, Ryan judges you his "greatest disappointment," and spends most of his final monologue lambasting you for your oblivious compliance with Fontaine's orders, before using your conditioning to commit suicide just to prove a point.]]
* In ''VideoGame/Fallout3,'' James is usually a fairly easy-going parent, but he won't hesitate to deliver a WhatTheHellHero if the player character commits bad-karma actions over the course of the game - most prominently [[MoralEventHorizon nuking Megaton]].

* In ''Film/{{Hereditary}}'', Annie and Peter begin arguing at dinner over Charlie's death, and when he fires off a PrecisionFStrike at her, she [[RantInducingSlight blows up]] at him.

* ''Series/TheCrown2016'' season 4 finale has Queen Elizabeth II scolding her eldest son, Charles, for his behavior, such as his jealousy of his wife Diana and his affair with Camilla, which affected Diana's mental health and the public perception of the Royal Family. When Charles demands a divorce, Elizabeth angrily tells him to fix his marriage with Diana and not either side back down.
