* The first person we see Harry Dresden of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' show genuine respect to is his mentor, Ebenezar [=McCoy=]. Other characters are surprised to hear Harry call him "Sir." Much of this is because Ebenezar was a father-figure to him, but he is also one of the most powerful wizards around, becoming a member of the Senior Council the first time the readers are introduced to him.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' of FanFic/RealityChecksNyxverse, Twilight Sparkle's father Night Light, during a tirade against an especially annoying reporter, delivers a BadassBoast listing all the accomplishments of his son and daughter and the various special ponies ''they'' are involved with, and finishes up with this trope.
-->The Elements of Harmony swap Hearthwarming gifts with us. The fruits of my loins are forces of nature, boy. My daughter juggles ursa minors for a pastime, makes Nightmare Moon sit in the corner when she's naughty, and turned a Chaos god into a birdbath. She and her friends destroyed the Grand Galloping Gala and Princess Celestia ''applauded.'' My son slaps armies out of the sky by snogging his wife. My daughter-in-law sits on a THRONE and held the sky up for three days by sheer force of will. And every one of them calls me '''SIR!'''
