** A more [[YourMilageMayVary heart-wrenching]] example occurs in the [[SeriesFauxNale last episode]][[RedLinkClub]]. [[spoiler:A running subplot in the episodes leading up to the final is Cox's inability to admit to missing JD. In the end, JD leaves, Cox say nothing, apparently because he was a teacher, albeit a good one, and JD was just another student. Of course, he is near-immediately tricked into singing JD's praises in a low-key ZanyScheme, which still manages to be a kind of [[HoYay totally platonic]] ''[[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther aw, look, they really do respect each other]]'' moment.]]

** Years later, when Wilfrid Mott was mistaken for Ten's father, he says that he isn't, but would be proud if he was.

* AvatarTheLastAirbender: When Zuko returns to the Fire Nation his father tells him he's proud of him and why. It's a creepy scene.

* In LoisMcMasterBujold's ''The Warrior's Apprentice'', Miles says he wants to make his life "an offering fit to lay at my father's feet":

* ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Throughout the episode "Final Mission," [[TheWesley Wesley]] has been struggling to get water and save the life of his mentor/father-figure Jean-Luc Picard. Near the end, when it looks as if he has failed (Picard [[IGotBetter got]] [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready better]]) Picard tells him:

->''"You are nearly there," said James. "Very close. We are ... [[TearJerker so proud of you]]."''

* ''Scrubs'': After spending endless hours tormenting JD, Dr Cox tells him he's proud of him when JD's father dies (as they watch sports on the TV together with JD's brother, no less).

* In ''IronMan2'', it comes in a slightly different form. It's more accurately ''confidence'' that the hero will eventually make him proud, but it's really the same thing. Tony Stark recalls that his father was "cold and calculating," and that he "never told me he loved me, much less liked me" (paraphrased). Thus, when Nick Fury tells him that his dad always believed he would carry on his legacy and take the arc reactor to the next level, Tony scoffed at the notion. Later, while going through his old man's stuff, he stumbles upon a [[VideoWills recording his father left]] that was meant only for him. In it, he reveals that all of his life's work had always been for Tony. He also states that he is confident his son would change the future where he could not, and leaves him with [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming this final message]],

* The ending theme of ''R-Type Final'' is actually ''called'' "Proud Of You", and includes the words as GratuitousEnglish lyrics. (Unfortunately, Fresh Games butchered the game's finale and replaced the song with a generic techno piece.)

* Rather horribly subverted in ''DeathNote'', as Soichiro Yagami finally confirms [[spoiler:on his deathbed]] that his son Light isn't the mass-murderer Kira. [[spoiler:[[ItWasHisSled He is.]]]]

Normally this is said only by people who have reason to be proud: his parents, [[{{Mentors}} his mentor]], the TeamDad, AFatherToHisMen, etc. This is usually done for a young hero, whose skills might have been in doubt, and had unquestionably been formed by the person saying it. It may happen very early in the story, as proof that he is ready for the call, but is more common at the end to validate his CharacterDevelopment.
