* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Heaven's Feel: Played for drama (and technically after the fact). [[spoiler:After berating Shirou the entire route and the two before it for being too soft to kill, Tohsaka realizes she is too as she can't bring herself to stab Sakura and is nearly killed instead. 'I guess I can't get mad at Shirou anymore.']]

* PlayedForLaughs during ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhnQsk3G_2c Ghostbusters 2016 - It's As Bad As I Remember]]'' by WebVideo/TheCriticalDrinker when he acknowledges his own tendency to use fart jokes after criticizing the movie for its use of them:

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'': General Wade Eiling uses a [[StupidJetpackHitler Nazi]] SuperSoldier serum to turn into a HulkMashUp in order to defeat Franchise/{{Superman}} as a show of America's strength. Instead he runs into seven [[BadassNormal human Leaguers]] with various trick weapons and completely wipes the floor with them, all the while ranting about how superpowered beings are dangerous. He's eventually called on being the only one present with actual superpowers, and acknowledges that he's become the very thing he seeks to destroy. He then retreats and is never heard from again.
-->'''Eiling:''' All right, I've become what I hate, I'll give you that. But in the long run, you'll see I was right. You'll see you need the likes of me to protect you from them [superhumans].
** [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries After previously establishing]] [[BerserkButton how he takes]] DontExplainTheJoke as SeriousBusiness, the Joker visibly expresses annoyance in having to explain the joke himself.
--->'''Joker:''' The good news is that the Bat is getting warm. (''{{beat}}'') '''Getting warm''', I said. (''{{beat}}'') He's next to a volcano! [[note]]A fake volcano inside a Las Vegas casino.[[/note]](''the camera crew finally responds with obviously fake and insincere laughter'') That's enough, nobody likes a brown-nose.

-->'''Sam:''' So, you're a '''dog''', eh?
-->'''Thpot:''' Sure and '''you're''' a perfectly normal '''detective'''.
-->'''Sam:''' That's right.
-->'''Thpot:''' And a '''cartoonist'''.
-->'''Sam:''' Yes.
-->'''Thpot:''' And not at all an '''ape'''.
-->'''Sam:''' ...fair point.

---> '''Nerd:'''The Simpsons is a show that's been running for a long long time! It was great back then but it's gone on way too long and it needs to stop!
---> '''{{Beat}}'''
---> '''Nerd:''' Okay, onto AVGN episode 180-something.

--> '''James:''' Blu-rays? You can just forget about them!
--> '''({{Beat}})'''
--> '''James:''' Unless you wanna buy the Angry Nerd Blu-Rays!

--> The humor feels like it came from the mind of a five-year-old! "This is funny because the lady's being puked on! This is funny because fart jokes!"
--> (Cuts to the farting clip from ''Film/NotAnotherTeenMovie'' he practically uses OncePerEpisode)
--> It's only funny when I do it!

---> '''Danny:''' "When I was a kid this was the hardest--" NO ONE FUCKING CARES!
---> '''Arin:''' Y'know, when I was a kid this level was really fucking hard, dude.
---> '''Danny:''' Even though we're on a show that does exactly that all the goddamned time!
---> '''Arin:'''Nobody cares about your stupid life! Dan, how was your day?
---> '''Danny:''' Pretty good, thank you.
---> '''Arin:''' Good. I'm glad. I'm glad we could share that moment with fans.

* '''ComicBook/Hellblazer:''' In some of his moments of self-reflection, as much as he loathes to admit it, for all John's raging against supernatural and mundane forces using people for their own ends, he isn't much better. Despite how often it ends terribly for those John drags into his schemes and how bad it may make feel, he doesn't blink to involve and manipulate innocent people into his plans, be it something grand like protecting free will or as simple as saving his own hide.

Despite how often it ends terribly for those John drags into his schemes and how bad it may make feel, he doesn't blink to involve and manipulate innocent people into his plans, be it something grand like protecting free will or as simple as saving his own hide.

* '''ComicBook/Hellblazer:''' In some of his moments of self awarness, as much as he loathes to admit it, for all John's raging against supernatural and mundane forces use people for their own ends, he isn't much better. Despite how often it ends badly for those John drags into his schemes and how bad it may make feel, he doesn't blink to involve and manipulate good and innocent people into his plans, be it something grand like protecting free will or as simple as saving his own hide.

* ''Film/Fahrenheit451'': The movie version played this straight by having an announcer read the opening credits instead of putting them on-screen. In a very stylish moment, at the end when Montag is among the Book People, words appear on the screen for the first time to say ''The End''.
* In ''Film/{{Network}}'' Howard Beale tells a passionate speech against television, while on television. At the end he says: "turn off your television sets. Turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off! Turn them off right in the middle of the sentence I'm speaking to you now! TURN THEM OFF!"

* In ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', Hope mocks Scott for referring to Captain America as "Cap" (''"what, are you two best friends now?"''). When she finally meets Captain America in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', she too reflexively calls him "Cap", causing her to share a embarrassed grin with Scott.

* In ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', as Helen "Elastigirl" Parr is waiting around on her Elasticycle for criminals and listening to a police scanner, she recalls how in [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles the previous film]], she got on her husband's case for using a police scanner and thwarting crimes, wryly noting to Winston and Evelyn, "I am such a hypocrite."

* In ''Literature/MushokuTenseiJoblessReincarnation'', Rudeus is disgusted to learn that his father Paul not only had an affair with the family maid Lilia (admittedly, Lilia seduced him, but that doesn't excuse Paul for giving in to his lust), but had also sexually assaulted Lilia in the past. However, Rudeus is the reincarnation of a 34-year-old {{NEET}} who [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbated to child pornography]] and apparently peeped on his young niece, so he realizes that he's not the best person to judge Paul.

-->-- '''Sideshow Bob''', ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming"

* In ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'' Momonga is angry enough with [[spoiler:Clementine]] for torturing [[spoiler:Ninya]] to death that he deliberately takes his time destroying her ego before slowly [[CruelAndUnusualDeath crushing her to death]]. This is despite his earlier claims that he didn't care and would have killed them himself if needed, saying he'd be a hypocrite if he blamed her for their deaths.

* In ''LightNovel/MushokuTenseiJoblessReincarnation'', Rudeus is disgusted to learn that his father Paul not only had an affair with the family maid Lilia (admittedly, Lilia seduced him, but that doesn't excuse Paul for giving in to his lust), but had also sexually assaulted Lilia in the past. However, Rudeus is the reincarnation of a 34-year-old {{NEET}} who [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbated to child pornography]] and apparently peeped on his young niece, so he realizes that he's not the best person to judge Paul.

* YaoiGenre ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'' has second in command of Tanagura, Raoul telling Iason, the top ruling Blondy, he's a hypocrite for strictly enforcing laws yet breaking a few laws himself for his [[SexSlave Pet]]. Iason doesn't deny it as a means to shrug off and end the conversation.

--> "The court also focused quite a bit on the affair with Cemortan, even though it basically had nothing to do with the tragedy and was fairly incidental. To be fair, we did that too, [[RuleOfFunny we thought it was funny]], but they turned it into a media circus and the claims about her '[[DistractedByTheSexy distracting the captain]]', as far as we can tell, are just untrue. "

* The first ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' has a small one in Forte's route. Tact doesn't want to send her to what could possibly be a suicide mission (destroy an enemy attack satellite to clear the path for the Elsior). She replies that "The Tact I know wouldn't put his personal feelings above the mission", only to immediately acknowledge that ''she'' volunteered for the mission out of personal feelings, namely that she wants to protect the man she fell in love with.
