* In the version of ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' by Creator/TeamFourStar, Alucard is a {{Jerkass}} SociopathicHero BloodKnight who is basically the logical result of what would happen if you gave the biggest {{Troll}} on the Internet unstoppable superpowers. So when he's involved in an incident with the police in Brazil, Integra's first assumption is that it's his fault and she calls bullshit when Alucard protests that he was just minding his own business until the police turned up and started shooting. Alucard is being entirely honest -- he hadn't done a ''thing'' (yet) to get his door kicked in by SWAT. They were actually bribed by the villains into attacking him. It probably didn't help that he greeted them with YourMom, though.

Fortunately for the Sith, while he was indeed behind the bombing he had nothing to do with Halth's stunt and could prove he hadn't talked to him in months, and in fact he's privately offended by the idea someone suspects him of being ''this'' sloppy.

'''Alucard:''' Okay... first, I was minding my own business--\\
'''Integra:''' ''[furiously slams her hand on the desk]'' '''BULLSHIT!'''\\
'''Alucard:''' I was!\\
'''Integra:''' And exactly what happened whilst you were "minding your own business"?!\\
'''Alucard:''' [[JiveTurkey So I was just chillaxin' in my room like a baller]], and then all of a sudden these schmucks kick in my door, one of them yelled out "Get on your knees!" And I responded with 'I'm not your mother last night!' ''[{{beat}}]'' And they took exception to that.\\
'''SWAT:''' ''[[[ScreamingWarrior Scream]] as they [[MoreDakka open fire at full auto]] until Alucard looks like Swiss cheese]''
* In the ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' version of ''Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan'', Goku initially assumes Cell destroyed the South Galaxy after King Kai tells him about what happened. But as it turns out, Cell didn't know the South Galaxy even ''existed''. (Goku quickly tries to get him to forget that he heard it.)
