'''You'd Expect:''' For Big Bird to get someone else who knows Snuffy to stay and watch over him so he does not leave.\\
'''Instead:''' He never bothers to do this and right when the adults come, Snuffy's gone. It's only by the time of the Season 17 premiere does Gordon suggest this advice, which in turn helps Big Bird succeed at last with Elmo's help.\\
'''Alternatively You'd Expect:''' Snuffy to shout or holler at the adults to get them to turn around when he passes by.\\

* ''Series/SechsAufEinenStreich'':
** In ''Prinzessin Maleen'', probably to avoid being too sympathetic in the audience's eyes, Walpurga brings her downfall on herself by several bouts of utter idiocy:
*** She needs to get married to inherit her wealth. However, she plans to kill her future husband Konrad because she has no wish to be tied to a poor Landgraf.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Her to do so gradually to avoid suspicion.\\
'''Instead''': She plans to kill him right on the wedding day.
*** Afraid of being found out to be ugly before the marriage is finalized, she sends Maleen as her stand-in to the wedding ceremony. However, Konrad grows suspicious when Walpurga doesn't remember what "she" said on her way to the church and doesn't have the gift he gave "her". Mind: when Walpurga reveals her face, he is only briefly startled before talking to her normally.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Walpurga to confess at once that she switched places with a maid for fear of her own face repulsing him and the guests. She can see that Konrad doesn't mind her ugliness and will be sympathetic towards her. Of course, their marriage will still be dissolved once Konrad finds out the maid is his fiancee whom he thought dead, but they'll surely help Walpurga with her own inheritance troubles or at least treat her with respect.\\
'''Instead''': Walpurga blurts out increasingly unconvincing lies and tries to have Maleen executed for stealing and to get Konrad poisoned. She is found out and banished and loses all her possessions.
** In ''Das Märchen von den zwölf Monaten'', The Frost Prince allies himself with February to bring down the rest of the twelve months and Queen Klara who keeps the calendar going. They are gradually poisoning the queen, and only a few hours remain until the calendar goes haywire for good. The last ingredient in a medicine that can cure Klara has to be provided by February (the last winter snow).\\
'''You'd Expect''': The Prince to treat February with respect and kindness ''at least'' until the calendar has safely collapsed.\\
'''Instead''': When there is still time to prepare Queen Klara's medicine, the Prince gloats that he doesn't plan to share his power and that February will be just his servant. That becomes the last push towards February's HeelFaceTurn, and he helps prepare the medicine; Klara is cured and defeats the Prince.

* In the third season of ''Series/SearchParty'', Dory and Drew are on trial for murdering Dory's StalkerWithACrush Keith, something which they're very much guilty of. District Attorney Danziger presents a confession that was CaughtOnTape and which Dory tried to destroy in the season premiere, but due to the damage that Dory caused, half of the courtroom thinks she's saying she "murdered" Keith, and the other half thinks she's claiming to have "pancaked" (supposedly a sex act involving pancakes) Keith.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Danziger to point out that Dory tried to destroy the tape after she was arrested for murder, and that there's no logical reason why she'd have gone to such lengths to destroy a taped confession of her performing a weird sex act on someone.\\
'''Instead:''' She makes a largely baseless ([[AccidentalTruth but correct]]) accusation that Dory murdered her former downstairs neighbor, who recorded the tape in question. Dory's lawyer immediately objects, and the judge gets annoyed enough that he rules the tape inadmissible, all but destroying Danziger's case.
