* Miko does this in chapter 72 of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', ignoring Ishigami when he tells her that her habit of enforcing the rules by ordering everyone around will cause people to stop listening to her, only to immediately agree with Fujiwara's assessment when she says the same thing. Naturally, Ishigami lampshades this.

* From ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'':
-->'''George Michael''': You know, I can see why your mom likes it. It is a really nice tree...\\
'''Maeby''': We've got to get it torn down.\\
'''George Michael''': ...That must die. Stupid tree.
* Larry Tate from ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'' does this quite often. Darrin, or someone else will present an idea for an advert that he thinks is stupid, until the client says he likes it, to which Larry agrees.
* In ''Series/CornerGas'', Wanda asks Brent to babysit her son Tanner, and Brent refuses since Tanner is well-known as an EnfantTerrible who traumatizes every babysitter that's gone up against him. In a later scene, after Wanda complains that she still can't find a babysitter, Lacey mentions that [[PickUpBabesWithBabes she finds men who like kids attractive]], and Brent immediately offers to babysit Tanner.



* The variation occurs in ''{{Series/Firefly}}'' in "Heart of Gold".

* In ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'', the second season's finale has 2 plotlines: Frank finds out that his kids aren't his, and Mac and Charlie try to become buddies with Mac's father in prison. When Frank finds out about his kids, he wants to hurt the real father. He devises a plan to follow his kids around until they come into contact with their bio dad, and then attack. Mac and Charlie say that plan is garbage. But when they talk to Mac's father in prison, he suggests ''the exact same thing'', and they say it's brilliant.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' opens with Leela inviting Bender and Fry to a poker game. Bender is reluctant, claiming he only plays with suckers. Fry then says he'll play, to which Bender enthusiastically says he will too.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' episode "Desperada", Adrien is caught in a GroundhogDayLoop. He's heartbroken when his crush laughs at a joke [[LovingAShadow she dismissed]] when it was his caped alter ego telling it (in the previous loop). Although it should be noted that Chat Noir, unlike his "real identity", has a history of not taking things seriously enough, so Ladybug might well feel she ''has'' to be sterner with him.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'': When Eep is about to dive into water, Grug warns her it could be dangerous, which she dismisses because he says that about everything, but when Guy tells her to be careful, she immediately listens without protest. Justified since Grug's overprotective nature makes it hard to tell whether he is right about something being dangerous while Guy being more adventurous and open-minded gives his warning more weight.

* Played with a bit in ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', Grif saves Sarge's Life by giving him CPR when he is shot in the head. Sarge initially thanks Simmons for this, but immediately berates Grif on the foolishness of giving CPR for a head wound.
