* When Shamisen the calico cat suddenly speaks (with with the voice of an old philosopher) in ''[[HaruhiSuzumiya The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Itsuki is first surprised that it's a male calico. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Kyon, of course.

** Not to mention the scene where the lead, a male model, reads a magazine with his picture on the front. The title reads, 'A Model Idiot.' Not getting the insult, the main character reads it as 'A Model, Idiot.'

-->'''Scootaloo:'''"Argh! These namby-pamby stories aren't getting us any closer to our cutie marks! They're all about 'finding out who you are' and boring stuff like that!"

* The ''{{Cracked}}'' article on [[http://www.cracked.com/article_17278_6-incredible-real-world-supervillain-lairs.html Incredible Real-World Supervillain Lairs]] has a deliberate CompletelyMissingThePoint under Number 2:

* [[http://www.cracked.com/article_19333_5-video-game-adaptations-that-missed-point-movie.html This Cracked article]] lists off several video game adaptations of films that not only ignored their source material's message, but outright contradicted them.

* When ''HerzogZwei'', one of the early {{Trope Maker}}s of the RealTimeStrategy genre (predating ''DuneII''), was released in 1990, several reviewers went into it expecting a traditional top-down shooter (Technosoft had created the ''ThunderForce'' series, after all) and rated it as one, that is to say, horribly.

** In another episode, Maurice takes over as king while Julien is sick, becomes mad with power after eating rotten lichee nuts, and threatens to take over the entire zoo. After hearing about this, Julien's reaction is, "I cannot believe what I am hearing. Maurice ''ate my lichee nuts!''"

-->Italy: [excited] I heard that too, we should go buy one!

** Also, slightly better case, in ''GurrenLagannTheSatire'': After Kamina's death, Simon had trouble dealing with it, leading Kittan to attempt to encourage Simon by saying "He avenged himself! How many people can say they did that?" to which Simon replies "Not Bro, 'cause he's dead", after which Kittan outright says "YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT!"

* [[Idiot Hero America]] and [[The Ditz Italy]] from ''{{Axis Powers Hetalia}}'':

* America and Italy from ''{{Axis Powers Hetalia}}'':

* America and Italy from ''Axis Powers Hetalia'':
-->"America: Somebody told me that my elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor, but I don't even have an elevator!
-->Italy: [excited] I heard that too, we should go buy one!"

Italy: [excited] I heard that too, we should go buy one!"

* An episode of ''{{That Mitchell and Webb Look}}'' featured David Mitchell complaining about the {{tearjerker}} ending of ''{{Blackadder}} Goes Forth'' saying that he didn't get the joke of just a few people running over a field and getting shot; judging from the audience reaction, it obviously fell flat in the studio.

:: How does one accidentally give a reporter underwear?
** She went to an event which the reporter was also attending. Unfortunately, being a hugely busy aide, she tried to save time when dressing that morning by wearing the same pair of pants she'd worn the previous day, grabbing them off her bedroom floor. She didn't notice that her panties from the previous day were still stuck in the leg of the pants and they worked their way free and onto the floor when she walked away from the reporter. The reporter sent them back to her in a package to her desk at work, where she was suitably mortified.

* Jimmy Carr, after his delayed reaction to the audience after this joke:

--> '''Vaarsuvius''':As the size of the explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero. ''({{Beat|Panel}})'' [[AndThatWouldBeWrong And that would be wrong]].

** How can you possibly forget this one at the end of the movie? As Lloyd and Harry are on the road out of Colorado on foot, a bus pulls up filled with hot bikini girls and... Look, just read the exchange:

** What about Cordy in "The Wish" who, when she first sees Xander and Willow in the Wishverse after being told they were dead, and is given quite a few hints that the two of them are now vampires, gives us:

* OzzyOsbourne's "Suicide Solution" [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch was accused of being a song carrying pro-suicide messages]], [[TheAlcoholic while the lyrics were written about alcoholism]], in the wake of the death of his friend [[{{ACDC}} Bon Scott]].
** "Crazy Train" is also seen as a song about violence, drugs or something else. It's actually a song which calls the people to "Learn how to love and forget how to hate."
*** The [[http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/10/08/2010-10-08_ozzy_osbourne_to_westboro_church_get_off_my_crazy_train.html Westboro Baptist Church]] completely missed the point in 2010 by rewriting the lyrics to "Crazy Train" and transforming the song's message of love into a message of hate and evil in an anti-gay protest, which triggered Ozzy's BerserkButton.
** "Mr. Crowley" is often used by MoralGuardians to prove that Ozzy is an admirer of AleisterCrowley, or in union with Satan or something, but in reality, Ozzy didn't even know the [[ItsPronouncedTroPAY correct pronunciation]] of Crowley's name (It rhymes with "lowly"), and the song seems to more be calling him out as a fraud for "fool[ing] all the people with magic" and "uncovering things that were sacred".

* An exchange in the twelfth ''{{Dragonball}}'' [[TheMovie movie]] is an example of this:

'''Note:''' When someone misses a point in RealLife, it is almost never PlayedForLaughs and often relies on personal interpretation which results in heated arguments. As such, '''NoRealLifeExamplesPlease.'''
