** This one in particular sadly was TruthOnTelevision back in the day. Many principals punished kids in this way: The bully for beating a kid, and the other kid for receiving the beating!

* In ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', someone put a "Kick Me" sign on George [=McFly=]'s back. As he walks down a hallway, half of the students are kicking him and the other half are laughing at him. Principal Strickland chews out George for the whole thing.

** In "Once, in St. Olaf," Sophia goes to the hospital for a hernia operation...and is promptly abandoned on an elevator for hours. To recap: an octogenarian woman recovering from surgery is left without food, water, or anyone ''knowing where she was'' for ''hours.'' The legality of the situation is briefly touched upon in the episode--two businesspeople inadvertently enter the elevator and express shock at Sophia's predicament, though they don't offer any help beyond saying they'll tell someone about the situation. That arguably makes it worse: the businesspeople, along with an orderly, apparently alert staff, but no one makes a serious effort to find her, and Dorothy and Blanche only stumble upon Sophia by complete accident. A lawsuit for gross negligence would be the absolute minimum that Dorothy and Sophia could bring down on the hospital, but future episodes never mention it.

* No one in the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series seems to be particularly concerned by [[UnconventionalCourtroomTactics things like]] Manfred von Karma overriding the judge, his daughter Franziska attacking everyone in sight with her whip, or Godot throwing his coffee cup across the room to land on the defense's head.

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': PlayedForLaughs. No one in the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series seems to be particularly concerned by [[UnconventionalCourtroomTactics things like]] all the UnconventionalCourtroomTactics, especially when they're at the expense of the ButtMonkey defense attorney. Examples include [[AmoralAttorney Manfred von Karma overriding the judge, judge]], his daughter Franziska [[WhipOfDominance attacking everyone in sight with her whip, whip to get her way]], or Godot [[FoodSlap throwing his coffee cup across the room room]] to land on the defense's head.

** Eric Cartman has beaten up multiple students, harassed a bunch of them into committing suicide, infected Kyle with [=AIDS=] out of spite, amputated a fellow classmate for no good reason, spread toxic propaganda, sabotaged multiple serious presentations, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking gets lackluster grades]] among other things, and yet he has ''never'' faced expulsion. Granted, [[AdultsAreUseless most of the staff are already too inept to deal with anything anyway]].

** It's amazing Cartman has never been expelled from South Park Elementary, given he had dismembered a student for calling him chubby, purposely infected Kyle with [=HIV=], bullied numerous students to suicide, etc. To be fair, considering how inept most of the school staff are, this is fairly explainable.
