** EverybodyLives and KillEmAll

** Kreia is just as disdainful of ForTheEvulz actions, very unusually so as she is a [[spoiler: PoisonousFriend, BigBad and a MagnificentBastard]] herself.

* The animated ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' reverses the "male predator = vampire" expectation in an early episode when a fat, lecherous man hires a prostitute and feels her up in while leering at her. The viewer is cringing for the inevitable DisposableSexWorker scene when Alucard reveals himself and calls out the vampire... who is the prostitute. (Though [[TheVamp dangerously sexy women]] are also a trope, so...)

** CriticalResearchFailure and ShownTheirWork

* ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' inverts AFormYouAreComfortableWith. The One Below All uses avatars to avoid breaking mortal minds because it wants them to suffer instead. It most often is shown using David Banner, specifically because it unnerves the Devil Hulk. For others it uses a NightmareFace.

* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' inverts TigerVersusDragon. Among the 12 talismans based upon the Chinese Zodiac, the tiger talisman possesses the power of [[LiteralSplitPersonality balance]] and the dragon talisman possesses the power of [[PlayingWithFire combustion]]. The episodes in which the two talismans were found, "The Tiger And The Pussycat" and "Bullies", respectively deal with this. In "The Tiger", the last episode in the "Talismans" arc, Jackie accidentally gets split into Yin and Yang, the latter of which sides while the Dark Hand tries to forcibly take the talismans in Section 13's possession. In "Bullies", after Captain Black is injured by Valmont wielding the dragon talisman, Jackie struggles to control his BerserkButton (somebody mentioning Black's injuries and/or Valmont).

* The 2003 ''WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner'' cartoon "WesternAnimation/TheWhizzardOfOw" inverts ''BinomiumRidiculus''. Unlike other cartoons in the series which give the protagonists faux-Latin scientific names, this one uses the ''actual'' scientific names:

* UsefulNotes/JamesBuchanan knew upon leaving office that he was unpopular, and that he was blamed by many for the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar national crisis]] that was starting. Buchanan said at the time [[VindicatedByHistory "history will vindicate me"]]. No such luck, as he's still considered one of the worst American Presidents, 150 years after leaving office.

** TastesLikeDiabetes and TooBleakStoppedCaring

* [[NubileSavage Krystal]] from ''Franchise/StarFox'' inverts DigitalBikini. When she first appeared, her pubic area (which her [[DangerouslyShortSkirt impressively short loincloth]] fails to cover) was rendered as a [[BarbieDollAnatomy completely featureless]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20190420031948/https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/1ec06389-f4ab-497e-a62f-e26f580ff146/dcdwg1h-2e838433-d9ee-43b2-97ba-0db87673525f.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzFlYzA2Mzg5LWY0YWItNDk3ZS1hNjJmLWUyNmY1ODBmZjE0NlwvZGNkd2cxaC0yZTgzODQzMy1kOWVlLTQzYjItOTdiYS0wZGI4NzY3MzUyNWYuanBnIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.kftPPYmtciq_xj4K7Ob2SW5npLpWxDD-W1KYLKp-qMo white patch]] that somewhat resembles panties. ''Videogame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' replaced the simple white texture with ''[[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D1NEb5AXcAATaog.jpg detailed]] [[https://i.imgur.com//OffoMLh.jpg labia]].''

* ''[[VideoGame/BatenKaitos Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean]]'' inverts the VendorTrash trope. A certain item from a random drawer in [[KleptomaniacHero someone's house]] (called the Small Debt) actually ''removes'' money from your wallet if you sell it. Holding on to it will cause it to evolve into [[FromBadToWorse Large Debt]], which removes more money from your inventory if sold, and finally into the [[OhCrap Snowballing Debt]], which removes a tremendous amount of money. Fortunately, you don't have to sell it, and the game shows the price of selling it clearly.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsZYjDo-ky0 reverse fanfiction tropes]] by WebVideo/ColeyDoesThings is, as the title would imply, all about Inverted Tropes. ThereIsOnlyOneBed becomes '''There Are Too Many Beds''', HanahakiDisease becomes '''Ikahanah Disease''' (causes those who are in a reciprocal relationship to eat flowers), and more.

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': [[spoiler:Nadeshiko]] inverts the OccidentalOtaku trope. As a child, she was raised to be a YamatoNadeshiko, but hated being forced into such a restrictive lifestyle. Then she discovered an American movie, and became so enamored with the freedoms American children were allowed compared to her own upbringing that she developed an obsession with America, to the point of dying her hair blonde and calling herself [[spoiler:"Naddy"]].
