Now the idea is that by taking them out for a fun time, it'll cushion the blow and allow the ex significant other to take the BadNewsInAGoodWay. More often than not however the person being dumped will end up causing a scene, usually by breaking down crying in hysterics, which will to those observing outside of the context make the person who's breaking up seem like a bad person.

* ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'':
** The first episode features Princess Carolyn breaking up with Bojack this way at Elefante, though Bojack is more annoyed about it than actually heartbroken when P.C. lists all the reasons why it's not working out between them.
** Later in season 3's "The Best Thing That Ever Happened", Bojack and Princess Carolyn have a more serious falling out at the same restaurant after the latter tries getting him a deal instead of giving him a chance to work with Kelsey again. He fires her, and she initially doesn't take it well.
