* In the ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' episode "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS4E14Mercy Mercy]]", when Alex says she assumed Munch was pro-euthanasia, he says he is, 'for legal, consenting adults'. Meanwhile, in an episode during the next season ("[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS5E22Painless Painless]]"), he seems to be vehemently against it.

** Also, in "Nagged To Ed", Double D, the same guy who is adamant about good manners, is eating his sandwich (made for him and the other two Eds by the Kankers) like a pig. Both this and the example from "Pop Goes The Ed" also count as EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, as both are from the very first episode of the show, before Edd's NeatFreak tendencies were firmly established.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8835751/6/In-Strange-Waters In Strange Waters]]'', Yukari, who's a big fan of Miho's, says that [[OriginalCharacter Lucius']] [[SenpaiKohai senpai]], Vimy Ridge's highly respected former commander, would likely be accepted into Black Forest Peak or the Nishizumi house. Yukari intends it as a compliment, even if Lucius [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame doesn't take it]] [[BerserkButton as one]], but considering that Miho left Black Forest Peak on bad terms after saving the tank that fell into the water at the cost of losing the match (which is the main reason why Yukari admires her), and has searched for her own way of doing tankery for a long time, Yukari's deep respect for those organizations flies in the face of her personal respect for Miho.

** Many of Catelyn Stark's actions in the books are driven by the fact that her sister Lysa sent her a brief coded message that the Lannisters were responsible for the murder of Jon Arryn, including encouraging Ned to take the position of King's Hand and later kidnapping Tyrion Lannister. For the latter event, she even thinks about how she wants to get more information from her sister. And then, despite spending several ''weeks'' with her sister with little else to do, never asks her about it, and even ponders how odd it is that Lysa changed her story from Cersei being responsible to Tyrion being the killer. She never once says anything like, "You told me the Lannisters were responsible for Jon's death, and war is looking imminent. Please let me know what evidence you have for the Lannisters' involvement for the murder because we are all in dire circumstances." The reason she never says anything like this or asks for more details from Lysa is because that would break the plot, because Lysa ''doesn't have any evidence''. The only reason this makes any sense is that the Lannisters are so untrustworthy and they had the opportunity AND they took control of the kingdom not long after it happened so they also had motive. Most people familiar with courtly politics would just assume something shady happened. [[spoiler:It's just that Lysa, herself, was the killer, not the Lannisters. Lysa would never admit that even if questioned by her sister. Littlefinger, who Lysa is in love, asked her to do it. She is also jealous that Littlefinger is in love with Catelyn. Lysa probably would say it's only a haunch and Catelyn has every reason to distrust and hate the Lannisters since they murdered her husband.]]

* The first [[BonusMaterial DVD Extra]] for ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' has the entire female cast acting like typical tsunderes that hate perversion, hitting Issei when he has perverted moments, either on purpose or by accident. This is in contrast with the main series, where Rias and Akeno are actually very naughty themselves, Asia is shy but doesn't mind Issei being like that, and only Koneko complains about the perversion, but even then she [[TookALevelInJerkass just becomes ruder]] and she ''still'' won't hit him! To put it in perspective, in one episode all the girls but Koneko were cool with ''bathing nude'' with Issei. It's like they picked a generic {{fanservice}} script and put the show's cast on it.

This can be TruthInTelevision; real people will not always behave in the most expected way, and indeed, it is unrealistic to expect a fictional character to behave any more consistently. Depending on the general circumstances, immediate situation, and who is around, the mildest individual can [[BewareTheNiceOnes just snap]]. This is related to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error Fundamental Attribution Error,]] in which people tend to place more of what they expect from someone on their personality than the situation.[[note]]The fundamental attribution error is a flaw in human thinking which causes us to ascribe a person's actions ''entirely'' to personality. If a customer snaps at you while ordering coffee, ''they'' are excused by situational factors: woke up on the wrong side of the bed, fought with their spouse, dog puked on the floor, etc. If, however, you snap back at them while taking their order, it's not because your father verbally humiliated you or you ran out of gas on the drive over or [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality some pissy customer is being rude to YOU]] -- it's because you're a {{jerkass}}, end of story.[[/note]]

* ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'': At the start of the third season, Lewis is oddly blasé about the sudden appearance of the [[MurderWater Water Tentacle]], right down to not believing Cleo when she tries to tell him about it and claiming they know everything there is to know about the Moon Pool by now. This is at odds with him previously being the one who'd insist on in-depth research about any mermaid phenomenon the group would encounter, at times to the mermaid trio's annoyance. He gets another one episode later when Cleo finally gets him to take a look at the new development in the Moon Pool and he pretends to start choking and dying just to mess with her, something one would expect from [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Zane]] or [[{{Jerkass}} Nate]], not [[NiceGuy Lewis]]. Another thing noticeable about this is that Will, a brand-new character, is the one to start investigating the Moon Pool in the way the viewer would expect Lewis to do.

* This trope ruins a BatmanGambit in ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''. When the ''Kronos One'' is attacked in such a way that it looks like the ''Enterprise''-A did it, Chang promises retribution, gets the ship back up and running and prepares to fire a torpedo at the ''Enterprise''. Everyone is in a panic and Kirk doesn't feel right about any of this. Instead, he lower the shields and orders Uhura to signal their surrender, which actually causes her to yelp out "Captain?!" in shock. (Turns out this was the right move on Kirk's part since Chang was deliberately trying to provoke the Federation into starting a war with the Klingon Empire.)

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E10GrampaVsSexualInadequacy Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]" has a scene that was deleted because of this trope. The subplot where the kids try to figure out why the adults were going to bed early originally had Ralph Wiggum of all people explain to the others that the adults were having sex.

* This is what tips off [[BrilliantButLazy Grif]] that something is wrong in Episode 100 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''. The Red team gets possessed (sequentially) by the homicidal {{Body Surf}}ing AI Omega. Usually victims of this possession become extremely violent and megalomanical, and their worst traits are exaggerated further. As the possibly OnlySaneMan of the group, Grif quickly realizes that something is wrong when ProfessionalButtKisser Simmons suddenly starts threatening Sarge with the Warthog's machine gun. Amusingly, this applies to Grif himself when he gets possessed by the rogue AI. However, instead of becoming a petty tyrant like the other Reds, Grif just notes that he briefly feels the impulse to conquer the universe, and quickly recognizes that this out of character for him because that would take ''work''. Instead of fighting it, he reverts to his natural instincts and falls asleep standing up, causing the Omega AI to eject itself from his body ([[BeatTheCurseOutOfHim without getting punched in the face by Tex to accomplish the same thing]]).
