** Mcnulty gets at least three before the series concludes.
*** McNulty himself also delivers one to Brianna Barksdale, D'Angelo's mother for [[spoiler: convincing her son that the right thing to do was to stay loyal to their violent, drug-dealing organization, in spite of being a father himself and having a twenty year sentence hanging over his head. This would in turn lead to that same violent, drug-dealing organization to decide that D'Angelo was too much of a loose thread and have him killed in spite of his loyalty. The biggest cut into her though is when she asks McNulty why he went to D'Angelo's baby's-mama with this information rather than herself, he replies that he was just trying to find someone that cared about D'Angelo.]]

*** This particular example is given some HypocriticalHumor value later in the same episode when ''Rory'' ends up insisting that he be allowed to stay and help the Doctor face the dangers of that week's villain's plot. Given the guilt-trip he'd explicitly laid on the Doctor for precisely this sort of thing earlier, the Doctor is annoyed at Rory, but there's no time to argue.
**** But that was Rory wanting to save his girlfriend, which he would've done anyway.

** This troper seems to recall Jadzia Dax giving such a speech on Klingons.

** In “Cold Blood” of [[Series/DoctorWho NuWho]], the Doctor delivers one to the woman who tortured an alien to death and tries to destroy their civilization, thereby destroying peace talks and igniting a war between humanity and the alien race. Every interaction he has with her for the rest of the show is essentially him telling her what a horrible person she is.

--> '''Ted:''' You think that this is just about Robin? This is about... You know, I've seen you do some bad stuff. I mean, some really terrible stuff to a lot of different people. I just always thought there had to be a limit.\\
'''Barney:''' I always thought I was the limit.\\

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUDmvhcZNrA Example.]]

** And his first episode, Derek delivers one to Carla, Cox, JD and Turk.

* Also, Buffy gives one to the potentials in the episode "Get it Done". Anya even lampshades it later.

-->'''Jason Cooper:''' Why indeed, Emily, because you're cruel and miserable people! Because none of you '''respond''' to love. Emily responds only to what her petty hungers dictate! Wilfred responds only to things that have weight and bulk and value! He ''feels'' books, he doesn't read them! He ''appraises'' paintings, he doesn't seek out their truth or their beauty! And Paula there lives in a mirror; the world is nothing more to her than a reflection of herself. And her '''brother'''... Humanity to him is a small animal, caught in a trap, to be tormented! His pleasure is the giving of pain, and from this he receives the same sense of fulfillment most human beings get from a kiss or an embrace! You're caricatures, ''all'' of you! Without your masks, you're ''caricatures!''

*** In a truly epic example, the entire femme population of the Glee Club and the Trouble Tones call out this guy who's hitting on Santana in the hopes of "straightening her out" and then proceed to jump into Katy Perry's [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome "I Kissed A Girl."]]

** In "Kissed a Girl", Puck has one to Quinn, after she invites him over to "not watch a movie." He calls her out, saying, paraphrased:

Every interaction he has with her for the rest of the show is essentially him telling her what a horrible person she is.

*** And no one seems to point out that the thousands upon thousands that have died in his wake have saved everyone who ever even thought about existing ever, ever. He may have [[spoiler:personally destroyed Pompeii,]] but the number of those saved is roughly infinity minus one. In other words, [[MessianicArchetype he has personally saved everyone he's ever met, knows, or can meet.]] Of course, the ''villains'' aren't exactly going to be in a hurry to point this out --- it's not called The Reason You're Really Awesome Actually Speech for no reason -- but you'd think that his friends or, heck, ''the Doctor himself'' might have a few pointers to raise in his own defense.

* In ''TheWire'', Detective Moreland gives one of these to Omar, largely in part because TruffautWasRight.

-->'''TheDoctor:''' You're an emotional cripple. I wouldn't waste my time on her, unless I had to use her somehow.

-->'''TheDoctor:''' ...Kill her.

-->'''TheDoctor:''' Do you think I didn't know? The chess set in Lady Peinforte's study. I knew.

-->'''TheDoctor:''' I knew. I knew she carried the evil inside her. Do you think I'd have chosen a social misfit if I hadn't known? She couldn't even pass her chemistry exams at school, and yet she manages to create a time storm in her bedroom. I saw your hand in it from the very beginning.

** A sillier one, directed as [[TheLibby Libby]]-turned-LaughablyEvil vampire gang leader, after her gang gets sick of her ContractualGenreBlindness and turns against her:
