* In ''Film/SupportYourLocalSheriff'' a brawl breaks out as James Garner's character is trying to get some lunch. He says "Hold it!". Everyone freezes. He steps out of range, carefully taking his plate of overpriced food with him, then tells them to "Go ahead on!" He calmly eats as they brawl, discouraging the one man who tries to attack him with a warning glance, and helpfully handing another combatant a two-by-four.
** Later in the same film, he pulls the same trick during a gunfight.

** In "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson" Springfield's [[TheMafia Sicilian mobsters]] are [[MobWar being fought by]] the {{Yakuza}} gangsters brought over from Japan. While everyone else is fighting, however, one tiny Yakuza member in a white suit is standing perfectly still as the fight rages around him. When Marge pulls Homer away from the fight, he complains, "But Marge, that little guy hasn't done anything yet. Look at him. He's going to do something soon, and you know it's going to be good!" Sure enough, as soon as Homer can no longer see the fight, the Yakuza springs into action. We see him later through a window doing backflips.
** When Hank Skorpio's lair is attacked by the Army, Homer seems completely oblivious and simply walks away through the raging battle. He's more concerned about quitting his day job than the grenade that landed at his feet.
* In the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny short ''Racketeer Rabbit'', Bugs - whose rabbit hole is located underneath a house occupied by a pair of mobsters - sleepily climbs up into the living room and walks to the kitchen and back for a glass of water, ignoring a shootout that the crooks are engaging in with a rival gang.
--> '''Bugs:''' ''(ducking his head beneath a hail of machine-gun fire)'' Low bridge!

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': In [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE25TheClockKing "The Clock King"]], the eponymous villain can easily walk into the ClockworksArea of the ClockTower without showing vertigo, while Batman slips and fails. He even can do it when the ClockTower [[CollapsingLair collapses]].

* In the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, Darkseid is usually shown in this manner. After, for instance, he knocks someone through a wall, he will come casually strolling through the hole that was made, usually with his hands clasped behind his back. This is also his signature fighting style in ''VideoGame/Injustice2''.
* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': Commonly done by Rick, not through blind luck, but through the safety provided by his force fields and other gadgets. One example is in [[Recap/RickAndMortyS4E2TheOldManAndTheSeat The Old Man And The Seat]], where he walks through an active battlefield looking for information about a sandwich delivery.

* Occurs in [[http://www.ryanestrada.com/2008/10/16/comics/aki-alliance/ondine-trout-page-66/ this]] ''Webcomic/AkiAlliance'' strip when Aki starts up a fight and simply walks around.

* Early in ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' before TheReveal of [[spoiler: Vash's bizarre biology]], this is his defining quality. He can casually and instinctually avoid any amount of gunfire, even when it's directed specifically at him. Once he even danced down the street wearing headphones while a gang unloaded at him. When one commented how skilled he was at dodging another replied that "the idiot doesn't even know he's being shot at".

* In ''[[Comicbook/XMen Uncanny X-Men]]'' #141, ComicBook/KittyPryde underwent her first Danger Room session. She had to get past a gauntlet of deadly traps to reach a designated area and turn off the simulation. She simply closed her eyes and walked forward, phasing all the way. This scene is notable for being the very first recorded instance of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} laughing.

* The classic ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" has Cyrano Jones enjoying some quality time with the liquor synthesizer while Humans and Klingons are happily beating each other with the furniture. Then holding a drink well above his head so it doesn't get spilled, he waltzes through the brawlers until he gets to the door, whereupon it's snatched out of his hand by the bartender who's just entered having fetched a squad of {{redshirt}}s. Only slightly abashed, Cyrano removes another full glass from his pocket and drinks that instead.

* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}''. In "God Johnson", Lucifer gets the [[GoAmongMadPeople inmates of a mental hospital]] to start a riot [[WeNeedADistraction so he and God Johnson can break out of there]]. The scene is combined with LyricalDissonance as they stride through the chaos to "In A Blackout" by Hamilton Leithauser, dodging hurled objects and clearly enjoying themselves.
* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess:'' In a GroundhogDayLoop episode, Xena spends the second-to-last loop carefully measuring and calculating what she has to do to break the cycle, while all around her a massive brawl consumes the town she's trying to save.

* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' gave us Fortune who, through some AppliedPhlebotinum caused bullets to bend around her and grenade to defuse near her body. That coupled with her huge [[MagneticWeapons railgun]] made her practically impossible to defeat.

* In the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' two part episode [[Recap/FarscapeS03E21IntoTheLionsDenWolfInSheepsClothing Into The Lions Den]], Scorpius wanders through the corridors of his exploding Command Carrier in a state of shock, drifting unharmed past hordes of evacuees, exploding energy conduits, and bursting watertanks. For dramatic effect, apocalyptic choirs are singing in the background, cementing this moment as Scorpius' great VillainousBreakdown.
