* ''WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains'': In "It's Our House Now," a crowd VillainSong sung by several of Disney's villains, [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Lucifer the cat]] and [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tick-Tock the crocodile]] are seen singing with the others - that is, actually moving their mouths to speak, despite the fact that neither of them speaks in their respective films. Tick-Tock is also seen sitting upright like the other villains at one point, as if he was a FunnyAnimal, even though he's more of a NearlyNormalAnimal in the original movie.

** In "If It Smells Like an Ed", the kids laugh at Jimmy after Eddy gives him a {{wedgie}}, even Double D (who isn't the type to laugh at those kinds of immature jokes, let alone Eddy's mean-spirited sense of humor) and Ed (who is one of the sweetest characters). Though to be fair, Double D at least appears to be trying to stifle it.

* ''WesternAnimation/AngelinaBallerina'': PlayedForDrama in "Angelina and Alice". When a group of older kids laugh at Angelina for [[ThePratfall pratfalling]], Alice (Angelina's best friend) laughs too, leaving Angelina in tears.

** In "If It Smells Like an Edd", the kids laugh at Jimmy after Eddy gives him a {{wedgie}}, even Double D (who isn't the type to laugh at those kinds of immature jokes, let alone Eddy's mean-spirited sense of humor) and Ed (who is one of the sweetest characters). Though to be fair, Double D at least appears to be trying to stifle it.

* Usagi is generally [[AllLovingHero kindhearted and empathetic]] (albeit [[IdiotHero dimwitted and airheaded]]), but she sometimes laughs at [[NoRespectGuy Artemis']] expense when the latter is getting mistreated by Luna.

** Ami, Makoto, and Minako are, for the most part, friendly and reasonable individuals, albeit with some minor quirks. However, whenever [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Rei]] or [[MouthyKid Chibi-Usa]] make jokes at [[LoserProtagonist Usagi's]] expense, they tend to either ignore it or join along. This is made even worse in the [=DiC=] dub.

Granted, this could just be Usagi [[InnocentlyInsensitive failing to understand the situation]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "[=SpongeBob=] Meets the Strangler", not only does Squidward show up to ''both'' of [=SpongeBob's=] parties, but he is shown clearly having the time of his life. The same goes for Plankton.

* At the end of a ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' episode called "No Laughing", the students all laugh when the teacher announces that they'll be learning about private parts and [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation]] during sex ed week, including Daria, who's notorious for being a solemn DeadpanSnarker who hates that kind of humor.

* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'', Professor Umbridge is such a SadistTeacher that she soon has all the students feeling rebellious, even Hermione who's usually a stickler for the rules. Lampshaded by Ron, who notes that things must be serious if Hermione is feeling rebellious.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Whenever Charlie Brown loses a baseball game, his whole team will berate him (or insult him at worst), including Linus (who is usually sweet to Charlie Brown).

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfiction ''[[https://www.deviantart.com/fishprom2955/art/Truth-or-Dairy-754099475 Truth or Dairy]]'', all the Loud siblings agree to play Truth or Dare?, even the serious, no-nonsense Lisa.

* ''Film/TeenBeachMovie'': Mack spends a majority of the film trying to get out of the movie, and even sings an entire song about how much she hates being trapped in a musical. Despite this, she participates in "Like Me", cheerfully singing along like the others and not seeming phased by it, at odds with her motivation and characterization. (While she also joins in on "Meant to Be", she also had the ulterior motive of trying to get Tanner and Lela to fall in love. In this scene, no such excuse exists.)

* ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'': In "The Long Haul", Greg says that all the boys in his class read a book series called ''[[ToiletHumour Underpants Bandits]]''. This isn't OOC on its own, but it becomes this trope when he says they'd become illiterate if the teacher banned the books, implying that's all they read. Actually, one of his male classmates, Alex Aruda, is nerdy and it's clear he reads a lot more books than just ''Underpants Bandits''.

* Implied in the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "The Game", wherein an addictive video game-like device is being played by the bulk of the ''Enterprise'' crew, which includes Worf, who usually regards games as a waste of time, so it's unclear how he got hooked to begin with. It's possible someone physically forced him to play it, but the only one stronger than him is Data, who was unconscious.

* ''Series/{{Community}}'': In season 3, the study group adds Todd, a stranger to their Biology lab group. The group is very uncomfortable with this new addition, even though Todd is perfectly nice and helpful. So far so good, but it goes beyond uncomfortable when ''everyone'' in the study group is openly cruel and hateful to Todd, even for people who it is vastly out of character for, like Annie, who was shown to care about her grades to a detriment and would probably be more concerned about the assignment (which Todd was very helpful with) than the group dynamic. Justified in that the point is that the group has become self-obsessed, insular, and toxic, but this point is strange because of how deeply out of character it is for many of the group's members, and how they never showed the group declining to this point, just had them change to acting like a hive mind out of nowhere.
* On ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'', anyone who spends an extended period of time with the Paddy's Pub Gang inevitably starts acting just as selfish, horrible, and sociopathic as them.
* Played for laughs in ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', where London will always join an angry mob if one forms, even if it's against someone she likes. If anyone questions her, she just cites "mob mentality" and then goes back to what she was doing.
* The Series/{{Psych}} Episode "This Episode Sucks" has 2 moments:
** Lassie is so hell bent on finding the woman he met at the beginning of the episode that he goes along with Shawn's hunch that the killer was a vampire. Even Shawn is surprised by his willingness to go along with one of the most ridiculous theories of his psychic career.
** Another one happens with Juliet, who was the only main character to not go along with Shawn's claim. After finding out that one of Marlowe's roommates is called [[AerithAndBob Lucien]], she (simultaneously with Shawn and Gus) ask her "Where's Lucien?". She still doesn't think that a vampire was involved, but she ''did'' find the name weird enough to justify further questioning.

* On ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', [[ThoseTwoGuys Statler and Waldorf]] are usually incredibly sarcastic {{Troll}}s who do nothing but heckle and complain about every act. However, there are a few instances where they're seen singing along in crowd numbers or even taking the stage themselves, especially when the songs are old music hall or vaudevillian standards.
** Similarly, in ''Film/AMuppetFamilyChristmas'', Statler and Waldorf join in the Muppets' annual Christmas Eve Carol Sing without complaint, performing the pensive "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" as a solo and generally enjoying the party.
** [[TheUnintelligible Beaker]] is often seen singing along in music numbers that involve a large number of other Muppets (though, natch, we don't hear his voice).

* In the ending cutscene of ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', Derby Harrington appears among a crowd of students (including the clique leaders) and teachers applauding Jimmy (the player character) for saving the school. This behavior is very uncharacteristic of him, considering how unpleasant he is to Jimmy during the game. He was probably placed there only because he's a clique leader.

** Kenji and Ikuko Tsukino are GoodParents, but whenever [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Shingo]] makes blunt remarks towards Usagi, they usually agree with him.

* One story arc in ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' sees Calvin as the only boy in school who didn't sign up to play baseball during recess. By his own admission, Calvin hates following rules and prefers running around using his imagination, so it's understandable--until [[TheBully Moe]] teases him for it. Calvin thus signs up to play baseball too, knowing full well that he's going to have a miserable time.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': In the Bad-Anon club, when they recite their creed, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]] is shown moving his mouth to speak just like the others. This is despite the fact that, he's not shown speaking at any point of the movie, mostly sticking with grunts or roars.
In the games he comes from, Bowser rarely makes vocal sounds beyond roars or laughs (but he's shows written dialogue on games like ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' or all of the RPGs), with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' being his sole aversion, showing him speaking words.
Some believe Bowser is just mouthing the words in the movie while growling.

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': In the Bad-Anon club, when they recite their creed, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]] is shown moving his mouth to speak just like the others. This is despite the fact that, in the games he comes from, Bowser rarely makes vocal sounds beyond roars or laughs (and doesn't talk at any other point in the movie), though some believe Bowser, due to this, is just mouthing the words while growling.[[note]]Some games give him written dialogue, but ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' is one of the few, if not the only game where he actually ''speaks'' words.[[/note]]

Lots of works involve group actions or reactions. Whether it's an [[TorchesAndPitchforks angry mob]], a CutenessProximity scene, a MassOhCrap, or even everyone laughing ([[EverybodyLaughsEnding maybe at the end]]). But sometimes, scenes like this can leave viewers wondering, "Wait, why is ''that'' character doing that as well?", and that's a Conforming OOC Moment.

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge4ContinentalDrift'': During the "Master of the Seas" musical number, Dobson the boar can be seen singing with the pirates despite [[TheVoiceless never speaking besides a few snorts]] in all his other scenes.
