* On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Ned Flanders saves Homer's life by dragging him out of a house fire. Homer, grateful, but also puzzled, asks Ned why he would save his like that, and Ned answers that Homer would do the same for him. Cue an ImagineSpot of Ned trapped in a house fire and screaming for help while Homer merely looks on and laughs at his misfortune. Homer confirms anyway.

* G'Kar and Londo in ''Series/BabylonFive'':

* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': In "Deja Q", the [[BroughtDownToNormal temporarily depowered]] Q is saved by Data when some of the beings Q has [[JerkassGod antagonized]] comes looking for revenge. This actually punctures Q's usual arrogance as he guiltily admits that he would ''not'' have done the same for Data.
* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''
** In "Change of Heart", Worf abandons his mission to carry his wife Jadzia to medical care, an act which will seriously damage his career in Starfleet.
--->'''Jadzia:''' I don't know what to say.
--->'''Worf:''' You could say, "Thank you for saving my life."
--->'''Jadzia:''' Thank you for saving my life.
--->'''Worf:''' And you could say, "I would do the same for you, Worf."
--->'''Jadzia:''' Well, I'd have to think about that. My career is very important to me, you know.
** "Soldiers of the Empire"
--->'''Martok:''' Your actions on the Rotarran, at the time I thought they were disloyal, but I have come to realise that your intention was to remind me of my duty as a soldier of the Empire and as a warrior. For that I am grateful.
--->'''Worf:''' You did the same for me once.
** In "The Maquis", Sisko says this when Dukat thanks him for the rescue. It's unclear to what degree either of them believes that.
* ''Series/DueSouth''

* G'Kar and Londo on ''Series/BabylonFive'':

-->"You would have done the same."
-->"Yes, but I'm a better person."

--> "You would've done the same for me. In fact, you have."

* ''/WebVideo/TheHire''. Inverted in "Ambush". After the pursuing robbers crash their van in a ball of fiery flame, the Driver says they'll call Highway Patrol from the next town to report the 'accident'. He notes dryly that they wouldn't have done the same if the situation had been reversed.

[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant This is]] ''[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not]]'' a villain saying that TheHero [[NotSoDifferentRemark would have done the same if the hero had been in the villain's place]]. [[EnemyMine Well.]] [[FoeYay Usually.]]
