* ''Series/OddSquad'':
** An subversion of sorts occurs in "The Perfect Score" when Tommy Twosie asks Olympia, who is searching for his roommate Freeze Ray Ray, to pick up some milk at the grocery store. Surprisingly, in spite of her anger and drive to find Freeze Ray Ray, she agrees.
** In "Flawed Squad", Jamie Jam mentions taking her nephews to the town museum next Saturday.
** In "Happy Halfiversary", Mr. Lightning is shown exiting a barber shop, having just gotten a haircut. A later episode, "Total Zeroes", would reveal that he goes to Zumba class with Crazy Eights (formerly known as Sister Zero).
** In "Box Trot", due to not having their odd powers anymore, both Star Wipe and Monsieur Papier-Mache have gotten jobs to support themselves. Star Wipe, having had the ability to shoot stars from her headpiece to attack her enemies, is a party decorator, while Monsieur Papier-Mache, being an ArtAttacker, has become a DJ. When they perform a HeelFaceTurn along with the Form-Changer and Lady Bread, they keep their jobs, at the Mobile Unit's suggestion.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' did this with new BigBad Lilith in the Season 3 finale, ''No Rest For The Wicked''. It's hours until [[spoiler:Dean's DealWithTheDevil comes due and he goes to Hell]]. To prevent this, the brothers are planning to go after Lilith, who they are told is enjoying downtime. At which point, we cut to Lilith...having a birthday party. Admittedly, this birthday party involved terrorizing and murdering the family of the little girl she'd [[DemonicPossession possessed]] (this is ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', after all), and was being repeated every day, but it was still a birthday party.

** Also ordering various meals through the food replicator. He explains that while his taste buds were shaped by the dominion leaders to perceive only one specific taste (a native type of nut from their homeworld) in order to keep them humble, he loved experiencing various types of textures and crunchiness in alien cuisine.
** Invoked in "Defiant" when Gul Dukat laments to Sisko he'd ''rather'' be doing this. Before he got called to deal with the Maquis stealing the Defiant to attack Cardassian ships, he was about to head back home so he could go to [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his son's]] eleventh birthday party.
** Also used in "In Purgatory's Shadow" When the captured crew find that Dr. Bashir has been replaced by a Changeling, they wonder what kind of evil scheme he's getting up to... As we cut to him bringing Dax and O'Brien sandwiches.

* [[Creator/JeffreyCombs Weyoun]] of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' gets a few of these moments. There's one where he is analyzing (or trying to analyze) a painting, and asks Major Kira (a good guy who is under an occupation force that is under his command) what she thinks of it...genuinely, with no sinister undertones whatsoever. There's also a clip from the final montage of the fabulous episode "In The Cards" showing Weyoun thoroughly enjoying the crack-pot "Cellular Regeneration And Entertainment Chamber".
