* {{Disgaea 2}} has [[WhiteDwarfStarlet White Dwarf Star]] Axel try to rekindle his fame by fighting Adell and "rescuing" Rozalin, who he believes Adell has kidnapped, and having it filmed by the crew of his poorly rated travel show. Although he loses the fight ([[CurbStompBattle badly]]), the director is sure they can edit the footage into an epic scene...or could if the zombie cameraman hadn't left on the lens cap.

** Annoyingly, she could still have taken that picture. With the lens cap on, there would have been no light - meaning no exposure. Being that the while movie is 40's retro technology, that was probably a manual camera. If she didn't advance the film, she could have taken the cap off and shot that frame again.

A character takes a picture with a camera, and the photo develops, revealing that the picture taker had his/her finger(s) on the lens or left the lens cap on, obscuring the intended target of the photo. Bonus points if the camera in question is a SLR camera, because the viewfinder uses a mirror and prism to show ''the exact view through the lens,'' requiring a truly monumental level of stupidity.
