* ''Series/{{Fallout|2024}}'': Knight Titus spends most of his onscreen time belittling his newly-minted squire, Maximus. Following an attack by a [[BearsAreBadNews Yao Guai]], Titus is left bleeding from mortal wounds and in desperate need of a stimpak, which Maximus has on-hand. Titus proceeds to [[UngratefulBastard continue browbeating Maximus for taking so long to save him from the Yao Guai]] -- even though Titus had power armor and a {{BFG}} while all Maximus had was a pack of supplies and a small pistol that he had just used to kill the Yao Guai -- and threatens to have Maximus executed for his alleged incompitence. Maximus, now seeing Knight Titus for who he truly was -- a DirtyCoward who stained the reputation of the Brotherhood of Steel -- decides to not treat Titus's wounds and let him bleed out, then steal his power armor.

** Jackie Aprile Jr., Dino Zerilli, Carlo Renzi, and Matush Giamona all plan to rob a low-stakes mafia poker game, but all of them end up getting cold feet at the last moment. Their solution? "Let's do it before the crank wears off." Furthermore, the reason they had this idea at all was due to a story from Ralph about how Tony and Jackie pulled the same stunt when they were younger, but only got away with it because Tony's father, Johnny, and Jackie's older brother, Richie, both already respected capos, stood up for them. Apparently, Jackie and the others forgot that, unlike Tony and Jackie, they didn't have anyone to defend them in the aftermath.

Even at Jackie's funeral, Junior, Tony, and Jackie's own sister don't mince words about what an utter moron he always was.
--->'''Junior:''' Kid was always a dumb fuck though, wasn't he? Didn't he almost drown in three inches of water?\\
'''Tony:''' The penguin exhibit. Jack tried to lay off Jackie's problems through a learning disorder, but... stupidity ''would'' be a learning disorder, wouldn't it?



** Vito is outed as being gay, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance something considered a grave and especially heinous betrayal]] in the Italian Mafia, that even Vito's former colleagues are demanding his head on a spit. He flees the area to avoid persecution, but grows bored of his civilian life within weeks and returns to beg Tony to let him back into the crime family, hoping that all the other organized crime members of the region just forgot he got caught giving a man a blowjob. Predictably, [[HomophobicHateCrime they don't]].

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E1TheTombOfTheCybermen "The Tomb of the Cybermen"]]: Kaftan and Klieg, the human villains of the episode, decide to free a small army of Cybermen from cold storage, intending to use them to conquer Earth.
