** The whole process of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification denazification]] consisted of delivering carefully-worded Reason You Suck Speeches to the entire German population, through the media and propaganda posters. The Allied authorities in all sectors pounded it into the Germans that they were ''all'' responsible for what happened during the war, ''including'' the Holocaust, and that they had better repent and shape up! The plan seems to have worked, since most Germans regard NoSwastikas and the atrocities of WorldWarII as ''extremely'' SeriousBusiness, and are wiling to say, to this day, that their country as a whole were the bad guys in the war. In Japan, where this didn't happen as much, well...you heard about that business with the Yasukuni Shrine, right? Right?

* Burt Cooper puts down Pete Campell in a rather epic way on MadMen.
--> ''"I want you to be very clear about this: You were fired. I wanted you out. Cooper wanted you out. And you would be, if it weren't for this man. [motions to Don] He thought you deserved another chance. That's right. He fought for you. You are here because of Don Draper's largess. Now, I know that your generation went to college instead of serving, so I'll illuminate you. This man is your commanding officer. '''You live and die in his shadow.''' Understood?"''

** Another great one that [[SubvertedAesop turns]] what appears to be a message of bigotry in to one of tolerance-- One episode is almost entirely spent deconstructing the beliefs of Mormons, and Stan ''angrily'' makes his dislike for Mormonism known to a Mormon family who invited the Marshes over for dinner, and it appears for a moment that he's being portrayed as a hero. [[SubvertedTrope The next day, he is confronted by the boy who invited them over]].
-->'''Gary:''' Maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up. But I have a great life and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don’t care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the Church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that’s stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls.

-->The fate of a world isn't determined by its best examples, but by its worst. It takes a few to destroy the many, especially when even the best of you can be dragged down into the mire. Judging from your example, brother against brother, friend against friend, you people have such a potential for violence, sheer, unvarnished wickedness, I've got every confidence you'll destroy yourself before you build your first inter-stellar engine. We've got nothing to fear from you.

So, not only has BigBad stolen the money, seduced your girlfriend/boyfriend, killed your mentor, ''and'' framed you for it. Now, you must be [[TrashTalk mocked mercilessly]] before he kills you. This is where he lists all the reasons you are a poor excuse for a hero and you never had a prayer of stopping him; you don't have the skills/weapons/powers to challenge him to begin with, you fight for [[GoodIsOldFashioned outdated ideals]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking your costume is ugly]].

* {{In Bruges}} provides a great example of this when Ralph Fiennes' meets Eirik, the character that attempted to mug Colin Farrell earlier in the film
-->'''Eirik''': I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say.
-->'''Harry''': Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault.
-->'''Eirik''': What?
-->'''Harry''': I mean basically if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks and you allow your gun to be taken off you and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah really it's all your fault for being such a poof, so why don't you stop wingeing and cheer the fuck up.
-->'''Yuri''': Eirek - I really wouldn't respond.
-->'''Eirik''': I thought you wanted the guy dead?

*** [[YourMileageMayVary Your Mileage May Vary]]. Following orders without thinking about them is never a good thing, especially if said orders involve things like [[SociopathicSoldier shooting civilains]] and [[GodwinsLaw gassing Jews]]. It's also human nature to think of people who break children's spirits as assholes, especially if the whole point of it is not to turn them into better people, but just to make them shut up and obey orders.
