* In ''Film/{{Inception}}'', the last thing the dying CorruptCorporateExecutive Maurice Fischer says to his son Robert is simply "Disappointed." Robert, a WellDoneSonGuy and the inheritor of his company, naturally assumes this trope, until Cobb and his CaperCrew, as part of a scheme to get him to sell off said company, implant a false memory in his mind where Maurice elaborates:

* In ''Fanfic/HuntersOfJustice'', Ruby expresses this sentiment to Weiss after learning the latter started a BarBrawl while they were in TheWildWest. Unusually, this is PlayedForLaughs, as Ruby had been prepared to give a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her AlcoholicParent (well, uncle) Qrow and BoisterousBruiser sister Yang when she assumed that they started the brawl, and is absolutely incredulous that ''[[ProperLady Weiss]]'' [[NotSoAboveItAll was the one who started the fight]].
* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'':
** Miss April is deeply disappointed when she catches her student Sara snidely declaring that Chloe doesn't ''deserve'' to have anyone looking for her, and that she hopes she ''never'' comes back.

** Much later, after [[spoiler:the Unown incident]] and Chloe starting to have another one of her episodes, ''Lexi'' takes over for her to let [[spoiler:Parker]] know how she's disappointed that he decided to perform something so horrible in her name, and how he essentially sabotaged the confidence she needed to [[spoiler:face the Cage of Flauros.]]
** Sometime after that, Chloe's mother, Talia, ''finally'' puts her foot down after being a passive woman the entire story, letting her daughter know that her constant back-and-forth NeverMyFault diatribes are not going to work anymore, and she either works on herself ''for real'', or she's not going to come home. No ifs or buts.
* In ''Fanfic/ANewProblem'', Alfe imagines Horace saying "We're disappointed in you" and Roba corrects him saying they despise him.
* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': During the journey in the Badlands in the remastered version, Kyril, irritated at the infighting of the GreatEscape group, tells Olga and Chloe, "I am most disappointed."

* ''Fanfic/TemporalAnomaly:'' While she doesn't say it out loud, One's tone of voice expresses this towards Three when it comes to her refusal to properly confront the citizens of Forest Country to give them closure.

Oliver angrily confronts Thea over this, revealing that Robert ''hadn't'' meant to abandon his secret family -- he'd indicated in his will that he wanted Kasumi and Emiko to be taken care of, only for his wife to ignore his wishes, telling the Adachis point-blank that she intended to ensure they spent the rest of their lives living in squalor. Oliver then tells Thea that her callous remark to the reporter proved just how much she has in common with Moria, and that he's ashamed of her cruelty.

[[AC:''VideoGame/AzurLane'']]
* ''Fanfic/ChroniclesOfTheSirenWar'': After Brooklyn witnesses how Thorson treats Fredrick Miles, she remarks that racism in the Union must be quite severe for a man of Thorson's caliber to be so cruel to somebody simply because they happen to be black, suggesting that he should give Fredrick the same chance that he gave his kansen.

-->With immeasurable sadness in her eyes, she said, "I just want you to know... I'm not angry, Soi Fon. I'm disappointed."\\
Soi Fon recoiled as if physically struck. "Wh-what... what was..." She muttered. What had just happened? Unohana had done nothing of note; she'd spoken a few words. They weren't even kido. And yet Soi Fon felt as though a spear of ice had been driven deep into her soul, a deep, crushing chill that permeated her entire being.\\
"I've done so much for you. I work tirelessly, day in and day out, to keep you and your little friends healthy and happy." Unohana said, still sadly. "I do this because I care, Soi, I really do. And to see you respond by treating me like this... it hurts."\\
Soi Fon fell to her knees. "S... stop it..." She muttered. "What are you... what are you doing to... to me..."\\
"Look me in the eyes when I talk to you, young lady." Unohana said firmly. "I want you to understand just how much your selfishness has hurt the people who care about you."\\
"Oh... oh God..." Soi Fon said weakly, tears in her eyes. What was going on? What was this woman doing to her? She hadn't been so much as scratched, but she felt so weak and terrible and... guilty.

Afterwards, she fears that the other students were disappointed by her lack of control. Kokichi using this incident to paint her as an untrustworthy, unhinged maniac certainly doesn't help matters.

[[AC:''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'']]
* PlayedWith in ''Fanfic/LoverOfTheSacrificialBride'': While Karlheinz is disappointed that none of his sons and in-laws have treated Yui well enough for her to fall in love with one of them, this is entirely because of how invested he is in his Adam and Eve Project.

[[AC:''Franchise/DragonBall'']]

Ironically, Roshi himself was the one who suggested he make that wish in the first place, though he wasn't really paying attention to what his student was asking, too distracted by his '[[DirtyOldMan movies]]'.

[[AC:''Franchise/FateSeries'']]

* ''Fanfic/LosingHim'': After learning his daughter Rita and the rest of her family kicked Lincoln out of their house due to their belief that he was bad luck, Albert tells them all that he's deeply disappointed in them.

He also admits that he lost a lot of trust and respect for his daughters.
** While her husband is discussing matters with Dr. Lopez, Rita asks how they handled the Sister Fight Protocol; while initially believing that the fight must have been over something serious, she's [[DisappointedByTheMotive disappointed to learn]] it all started over a dress.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* ''[[Fanfic/TheLamentSeriesChaoticNeutral Chloe's Lament]]'': After sincerely believing that his ChildhoodFriend was simply misunderstood by her classmates and spending so much time defending her, Adrien is horrified to realize just how little regard she holds for others, to the point that she legitimately doesn't see anything wrong with the notion of {{Mind Control}}ling everyone to serve as her personal slaves. Chloé notices that he keeps giving her incredibly disappointed looks, but struggles to understand ''why'', even when he [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech spells it out for her]] and declares that [[PostSupportRegret he regrets everything he did to defend her from their classmates]].
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30374208 He Can Only Blame Himself]]'': After Adrien cheats on Marinette with Lila, Gabriel promptly fires hers from his company. Fortunately, Adrien's aunt Amelie promptly snaps her up to work for ''her'' as a costume designer for Graham Films. At a film premiere, a reporter asks Amelie if she'd like to say anything to her nephew, just in case he's watching:
-->'''Amelie:''' ''(looking into the camera)'' There is only one thing I can think to say and it is something he deserves to hear. I'm very disappointed in you, young man.
* ''Fanfic/TheKarmaOfLies'':
** After his father is exposed as Hawkmoth, Adrien tries to argue for a lighter sentence, claiming that most of his terrorist acts 'don't count' because Ladybug used her [[WorldHealingWave Miraculous Cure]] to repair the damage. His bodyguard fixes him with a deeply disappointed stare upon hearing this.
** Ladybug's disappointment in her after her stint as Miracle Queen proves to be the reality check Chloé needed to kickstart her CharacterDevelopment, as she [[HeelRealization finally realizes what a]] SpoiledBrat she was and starts making serious effort to change her ways.
* ''Fanfic/KarmasABitch'': Marinette admits that she didn't tell Adrien about how Lila had threatened her because she assumed he'd pull this tactic on her, shaming her for ''daring'' to disagree about how to handle the BitchInSheepsClothing. Once he learns the truth, Adrien reassures her that he'd much rather know when she's hurting than have her pretending to be fine just to avoid an argument.
* In ''Fanfic/LadyBugOut'', [[MisplacedKindergartenTeacher Ms. Bustier]] attempts to talk Marinette into deleting the titular blog behind Ladybug's back (unaware that she ''is'' Ladybug). When Marinette refuses and calls her out on her bully-coddling, Bustier attempts to shame her by saying this. It promptly blows up in her face as most of her class proceeds to back Marinette up, [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out]] for her underhanded tactics.
* ''Fanfic/LeaveForMendeleiev'': After Chloé is publicly exposed and humiliated for attempting to [[StealingTheCredit steal one of Marinette's designs]], Adrien attempts to guilt-trip Marinette and Nino for being obviously happy at her suffering consequences for once by glaring and chiding them in this fashion. It doesn't work.
* ''Fanfic/LongCon'':
** Ms. Bustier ''loves'' to employ passive-aggressive tactics against her students, implying that she'll be ''deeply'' disappointed in them if they don't do what she wants. For instance, when Bustier asks Lila if she'll accept Marinette's apology, she uses a tone that Marinette recognizes as a warning, making clear that she fully expects Lila to accept... or else.
** Max's mother expresses this after he reveals to her everything that's been happening at school. Including the napkin incident, as she scolds her son, saying that he should have been smart enough to realize that said napkin wasn't capable of inflicting an EyeScream on anyone.
* ''[[Fanfic/MarinetteDupainChengsSpitePlaylist Marinette Dupain-Cheng's Spite Playlist: Remix]]'':
** Marinette ''expects'' Adrien to pull this card after she transfers out of their school, since he'd told her to 'take the high road' and just ignore Lila's antics. Instead, Adrien apologizes to her, having realized that his advice wasn't the support she'd needed... or that he'd promised her.
** Chloé pulls this when she tries to guilt-trip Marinette into helping her take down Lila, regaling her with all the ways the ManipulativeBitch is exploiting their classmates. When Marinette doesn't cave, Chloé sneers that she thought she'd care more about her friends.
** Later, Adrien worries that Marinette will be disappointed if she learns that he's cooperating with Chloé to deal with Lila. This proves doubly ironic; not only is this part of his efforts to [[GrewASpine grow a spine]] and make up for his past mistakes, but he's unaware that [[spoiler:Marinette is cooperating with them as Ladybug]].
* ''Fanfic/TheOneToMakeItStay'':
** After Alya accidentally ditches her babysitting duties, her older sister Nora is utterly ''furious'' with her. By contrast, her mother is much quieter and calmer, explaining why she's disappointed not just by this incident, but by how [[SkewedPriorities skewed Alya's priorities]] have become in general. While Alya has been incredibly stubborn up to this point, rejecting the idea that [[NeverMyFault she could be responsible for any of her problems]], this marks a turning point, as she finds herself more frustrated by how she ''can't'' blame them for being upset.
** Eventually, Alya admits to Ladybug that her fear of this was a major motivation behind how she was acting. In essence, she didn't want to admit her actions were wrong, or that [[spoiler:Lila wasn't who she believed her to be]], because acknowledging that would mean facing the idea that she'd disappointed everyone who trusted her. The irony of how this has only made matters worse [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone isn't lost on her]].
* ''Fanfic/OfPatienceAndPettiness'':
** Ladybug uses this on both Lila and Alya at the same time after the former is akumatized into Volpina again, chastising her for falsely claiming that they were friends and chiding the reporter for providing an easy platform for her lies by posting them on the Ladyblog.
** Adrien ''attempts'' to guilt-trip Marinette and the rest of his classmates by expressing how deeply disappointed he is that she [[LiarRevealed exposed Lila's deception]] to everyone. This completely blows up in his face, as none of the others knew that he ''already knew'' about her true nature, and don't appreciate his high-handed moralizing.
* ''Fanfic/SinsOfThePast'':
** When Lila successfully makes it look like [[WoundedGazelleGambit Marinette assaulted her]], several of their classmates tell their former friend they're disappointed that she's sunk so low. One comments that "I thought you were supposed to be our 'Everyday Ladybug'?"
** Adrien follows this up with an even ''nastier'' example. Marinette confides in him about how Lila threatened her, only for him to [[HolierThanThou lecture her]] about how disappointed he is that she's still trying to expose the liar, claiming that she's no better than a bully herself.
** Both of Kamela's parents are deeply ashamed after learning about how she had an altercation with Amicia.
* ''Fanfic/TalesOfKarmicLiesAftermath'': When Majestia learns how Alya conducted herself after Marinette was unmasked as Ladybug -- mainly by [[EntitledBastard acting entitled to exclusive interviews and other perks]] despite having [[FairWeatherFriend abandoned her for Lila]], then throwing a fit upon learning she'd been replaced and outing herself as Rena Rouge -- she doesn't [[WhatTheHellHero call her out]]. She simply expresses her disappointment, which proves to be enough to pierce through Alya's stubborn insistence that [[NeverMyFault she hadn't done anything wrong]] and [[JerkassRealization recognize her mistakes]].
* ''Fanfic/TruthAndConsequences'': Tikki treats Marinette this way after the latter [[DealWithTheDevil makes a deal with Hawk Moth]] in a misguided attempt to protect Adrien.
* ''Fanfic/{{The Wolves in the Woods|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** Ms. Bustier makes clear to Marinette that she's ''deeply'' disappointed by her decision to transfer to St. Catherine's in order to escape the bullying at Francoise Dupont, as she would prefer Marinette to remain there and continue trying to placate her classmates.
** Adrien also tries guilt-tripping Marinette in the same fashion for ''daring'' to try and escape the abuse, declaring that she [[BlamingTheVictim brought it upon herself]] by [[CassandraTruth trying to expose Lila]].
** After she hears Alya threatening Ben, Marlene tells her daughter that she's ashamed of her. She and her husband are even ''more'' disappointed later when they learn that Alya not only organized much of the bullying campaign against Marinette, but [[spoiler:knew all along that Lila was lying]].
** Alix's father also tells her this after learning about [[BarbaricBully the way she was treating]] Marinette. While discussing the matter with him, Mireya notes that she uses this tactic on Amaia as well, and it's never failed her.
* In [[https://nobodyfamousposts.tumblr.com/post/184218659010/i-think-the-worse-way-adrien-could-reject this what-if scenario]], Adrien rejects Marinette's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove because he doesn't like how she's continued trying to expose Lila's [[ManipulativeBitch true nature]] even after he told her that it ''didn't matter'' that she was tricking everyone else so long as the two of them knew the truth. He's especially disappointed that she defended her family's bakery from Lila's MaliciousSlander, insisting that she wasn't hurting anyone by insulting their livelihood and that standing up for them made ''Marinette'' a bully herself.
** In [[https://nobodyfamousposts.tumblr.com/post/734443964533489664/what-if-adrien-rejection-in-felix-culpa this follow-up]], Felix forces Adrien to expose ''his'' true colors to his classmates by making him publicly choose which girl to side with, with Adrien's efforts to TakeAThirdOption only [[NotHelpingYourCase making matters worse]]. Afterwards, Felix gives him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech which {{Avert|edTrope}}s this sentiment:
--->'''Adrien:''' I know I upset you--\\
'''Felix:''' Upset? No, Agreste. 'Upset' is nowhere near an adequate descriptor for what I feel for you right now. What I feel just by looking at you... Disgust, certainly. Anger, definitely. And I wish I could say I was disappointed, but that would require anything you did to actually come as a surprise to me. And you... Well, I had already known you were capable of such cowardice, but at least now everyone else knows it, as well.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39604527 Actions of a Hero]]'' [[PlayedForDrama plays this for Drama]] in its alternative take on Izuku and Katsuki's End of Term Exam. All Might condemns Izuku for "abandoning his teammate" in order to cross the gate and finish the exercise, ignoring how ''Katsuki'' had not only been refusing to work with Izuku, but actively beating the crap out of him. Aizawa also acts disappointed in Izuku's decision, emphasizing how he only ''technically'' passed the exercise.

* In ''Fanfic/BuildYourselfUpDontLetThemBreakYouDown'', Endeavor privately notes to himself that the principal at Shoto's school is surprisingly good at delivering the "I'm not mad, just disappointed" look -- much more effective than Endeavor's own ''father'' was at it.

* ''Fanfic/YesterdayUponTheStair'':
** PlayedWith during the End of Term Exam. Izuku {{invoke|dTrope}}s and ''[[ExploitedTrope weaponizes]]'' this in order to pass the exam; when All Might confronts him afterwards and starts to lecture him, Izuku throws him off balance by declaring he needed to do something All Might wouldn't anticipate in order to win. All Might is so unsettled by his ArmorPiercingResponse that he starts to realize that something is seriously wrong.
--->'''All Might:''' ''(coldly)'' Midoriya... ''(pauses as he takes in his bloodied, battered state, then continues)'' My boy, it seems you've missed the point of this test.\\
'''Izuku:''' You're disappointed in me. Good.\\
'''All Might:''' Good?\\
'''Izuku:''' Means it worked, didn't it? I can't beat you. Not without help, and--and Bakugou wouldn't help. So I knew I'd have to trick you instead. Or at least I'd have to surprise you. I'd have to do something you wouldn't expect. And you'd never expect me to do anything to disappoint you, right?
** When Toshinori learns that Sir Nighteye has been treating Izuku coldly and callously during his apprenticeship with him, he reacts with disappointment rather than outrage. Nighteye muses that he finds the former much, much worse.

** While Chouji already feels guilty for how he, Sakura and Shino chose to tackle the Forest of Death, he feels even worse about it when Shikamaru calmly admits that after that incident, he doesn't want to work with him on missions anymore, feeling he wouldn't be able to trust him.
** When Inoichi finally learns how Ino was misusing their clan's bloodline techniques to terrorize her teammates, he [[ItsAllMyFault blames himself]] for not teaching her better, lamenting that all his efforts to impress upon her how dangerous their abilities were ultimately amounted to nothing.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "The Console", when Gumball summons allies against the FinalBoss of ''[[TheMostDangerousVideoGame Inverted Paradox: The Enemy Within]]'', one of them is Nicole, whose attack is just a stare of disapproval titled "I'm Not Angry, Just Disappointed".
* In "Arthur the Wrecker" on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', Mrs. Read is "not mad, just disappointed" that Arthur disobeyed her by playing on her computer when she asked him not to. This isn't the only instance of her using this or a similar line in the series.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', Joker has gained reality warping powers and has Batman at his mercy. Harley asks Joker if he's going to take off Batman's mask, and Joker says "And reduce my primal enemy to a mere man? Harley my dear, I'm so disappointed in you! [[VillainSong Where's the fun in that?]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'':
** In a segment of the revived show, the two are watching an episode of ''Series/JerseyShore'' where Snookie talks about how someone saying they're disappointed in you hurts a lot worse than if they were just angry. Beavis disagrees. People say they're disappointed in him all the time, and it doesn't bother him none.
** In one episode the two end up at a feminist meeting, under the impression that they're a bunch of chicks who do it for free. Beavis asks Butt-Head why there aren't more guys there if they do it for free.
--->'''Butt-Head:''' Damn it, Beavis, we've got a room full of chicks here who do it for free, and all you can think about is how come there aren't more guys here?\\
'''Beavis:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Um, yeah, how come?]]\\

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'', Sharon gets caught shoplifting, and when she gets home, she expects her mom to be angry at her, but instead she looks sad and disappointed, but doesn't say anything. Naturally, this just makes Sharon feel even ''worse''.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': After Peter engages in some [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy alcohol-induced mischief]], Lois says that she isn't mad, just disappointed. Still blitzed out of his mind, Peter considers this a good thing.
* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Sera has so far been the only one able to make Adam display anything close to resembling shame when she admonishes his needlessly cruel behavior. Whether this is because he holds her in high regard as a Parental Substitute or just because she's his boss, has yet to be clarified.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': Prince Adam usually receives some variation of this comment once per episode, normally from either his father King Randor or Teela. Both of them clearly love Adam, but they're frustrated since Adam seems to never take his duties as a prince seriously and is rarely around when danger strikes. Their views are understandable since they, unlike the viewer, don't know that Adam is secretly He-Man, who is responsible for saving the world a hundred times over. Furthermore, it's hinted that Adam's apparent lack of responsibility is him needing to relax during quiet moments in-between the various crisises that plague Eternia. Thankfully, there are times where Adam and not He-Man gets the credit he deserves and gets to make his father proud of him, most notably in the He-Man/She-Ra movie "Secret of the Sword".
* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Batman's [[EvilCounterpart Justice Lord]] counterpart is giving Batman a tour of the universe to demonstrate the [[PoliceState peace and security]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist the Justice Lords had created]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** In the episode "Owl's Well That Ends Well", Spike was already on edge from being worried that Owlowiscious would replace him as number 1 assistant, and in turn, take away some of the admiration that went towards him, and when Twilight Sparkle finds out that Spike lied to her about the book he was asked to get, she says he is very disappointed in him.
** Princess Celestia throws this at Twilight Sparkle when she accuses Princess Cadance of being evil with flimsy, easily explained "evidence". This is after having, throughout the episode, expressed anger and resentment towards her brother about not being told about the wedding sooner, causing the whole thing to come off as petty and childish on Twilight's part. Once it turns out that [[spoiler:Twilight was ''correct'' and Cadance has been replaced by a villain, everypony's quick to apologize]].
** In the episode "Every Little Thing She Does", Twilight comes home to find her student, [[TheAtoner Starlight Glimmer]], has resorted to ''mind control'' in an attempt to make her friendship lessons go more smoothly. She tells Starlight that she's less mad than disappointed to find her taking such a huge step backwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': In "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", when Amity and Luz are caught in the Forbidden Stacks by Malphas, the master librarian, he menacingly floats up to them and... cuts to them outside, where he tells Amity how disappointed he is in her (in a much more casual and higher-pitched voice) and takes her staff card away.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** "Marge Be Not Proud", from Season 7: Marge is clearly at the end of her patience with Bart after he had been caught shoplifting a video game from a local discount store, but instead of yelling at or lecturing him, she just shuns him. The clear disappointment Marge has with Bart says far more than any punishment could.
** It happens again in "Bart the Mother", when Bart kills a bird. Even worse in that he was trying to ''miss'', but the sight on the pellet-gun was already off-mark.
** Parodied later, with an inversion of how the trope would normally go. Someone is forced to bring bad news to [[TheDon Fat Tony]], and says that he know Tony will be disappointed. Tony responds that "I am not so much disappointed as I am blinded by rage!"
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "Bossy Boots", this is what Pearl feared would happen with her and Mr. Krabs.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' episode "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E19StormOverRyloth Storm Over Ryloth]]"; Anakin starts his sad lecture of Ahsoka after her refusal to listen to orders right away resulted in heavy losses by telling her he's disappointed in her. As it's clear she's disappointed in herself for the outcome of her actions he's not too harsh, and he acknowledges that part of the reason she didn't immediately follow orders is that he does the same thing but it still sends her deeper into her HeroicBSOD.
** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'':
*** In the tie-in comic "No Sympathy", this is how Agent Kallus reacts when his former student Swain [[HeelFaceDoorSlam attempts to defect]] out of disgust for the Empire's cruelty. Considering that he [[spoiler:would later have a HeelFaceTurn for similar reasons]], this becomes HarsherInHindsight.
*** On that note, in "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E15ThroughImperialEyes Through Imperial Eyes]]", at the end, Colonel Wullf Yularen is extremely disappointed that [[spoiler:Kallus, who was one of his best students]], has become TheMole.
