** Minor example involves Kaiba in Battle City. After Yugi defeats Strings, Marik gloats, telling Yugi that his plans involve targeting his friends. Yugi then runs to find them, ignoring the challenge that Kaiba made. Kaiba grumbles that refusing a challenge is a violation of Battle City rules. The problem is, Kaiba himself did that when he prematurely cancelled the duel that Jonouchi challenged him to in order to rush to this very battle (meaning it was likely only an hour earlier, despite being about three episodes ago). Apparently, cancelling on account of an emergency is only a good reason when it's ''his'' emergency.
** Another example involving Kaiba came during his duel with Gozaburo during the Virtual Nightmare Arc. Kaiba gave a brief TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in which he told Gozaburo that his deck was focusing too much on a single monster, and little synergy. (Kaiba was giving him too much credit; Gozaburo's strategy was ''nothing'' except "summon Exodia Necross and attack with it", trying to draw on Kaiba's fear of Exodia.) Unfortunately, this was sort of a BrokenAesop coming from Kaiba, who spent all of Battle City before this point (and much of it afterwards) relying mostly on [[PhysicalGod Obelisk the Tormentor]], modeling his deck on ways to summon the God Card quicker. Even without Obelisk, Kaiba's all about his Blue Eyes White Dragons.

* [[TheRival Suzaku Kururugi]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' preaches [[InternalReformist non-violence and systematic change]], all the while serving in the very army causing the tyranny. It's a lot worse in the second season, where his primary plan to obtain Japan's freedom is to deprive ''everyone else'' of their freedom (if necessary) just so he can get a high-enough standing to claim Japan as his own.
** [[TheChessmaster Lelouch vi Britannia]], the main character, is a hypocrite, too, but the big difference between him and Suzaku is that [[HypocrisyNod he holds no illusions about that fact]].

However, it's later revealed that he was also born a poor rural boy - and unlike him, Nello's efforts to work hard didn't pay off.

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'':
** Shikimi bashes other girls for using men to take them out on expensive dates; not long after that she outright extorts her date out of his hard-earned money in order to buy herself a really expensive dress. She also views herself as "more desirable" than Kiritaka’s mother, who she refers to as a "[[SlutShaming used auntie]]" over the video of his mother in a heavily edited porno. This coming from the same bitch who shamelessly [[HoneyTrap seduces other men into a badger scam]].
** Iijima calls out and cruelly mocks the people Shikimi lures into her HoneyTrap for [[ReallySeventeenYearsOld unknowingly attempting to have sex with a minor]]. Meanwhile, he has full knowledge of Shikimi's age and he is ''still'' shown touching and kissing her inappropriately while telling her that he loves her (the implication being that he is attempting to get into her pants or has already done so).
** After concluding that Kowase and Shikimi are dead, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes a grief-stricken Kinugawa]] decides that the only thing he can do is avenge them by murdering their killer. He says this to Maria, [[DramaticIrony who secretly wants him dead for killing her son]].

* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'':
** Yuri Briar, Yor's younger brother, is an officer with Ostania's [[SecretPolice SSS]], whose job is to catch spies, traitors and other criminals. Yuri despises liars, but lies about his actual job, even to his sister, brother-in-law and niece, and feels justified in telling any and all lies for Yor's sake. When he learns that his niece lied while bragging about her recent cruise trip, he says, "Yeah, liars are trash", all the while mentally justifying his own lies (unaware that his niece can read his mind). There's also the moment earlier on when Yuri requested Yor and Loid kiss to prove they’re actually in love — then ''immediately freaks out'' and goes to intervene when Yor does go to kiss Loid after some LiquidCourage.

* PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBhiq8uTj_U this]] ''Anime/{{K}}'' radio drama. Kuroh starts rambling about how wonderful Ichigen-sama is and Fushimi Saruhiko interrupts him with Shiro's [[RunningGag well-known "Creepy!"]]. Saruhiko is not exactly [[StalkerWithACrush one]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy to]] [[AxCrazy talk]]. On that Kuroh and Kamamoto agree.



** Fiona Frost a.k.a Nightfall, Loid’s spy colleague is a firmly PlayedForLaughs case. She's (seemingly) a ConsummateProfessional who chides Loid for letting his cover family distract him and "make him soft" while priding herself for not letting emotions impede her. Not true at all, because as revealed by Anya, [[BeneathTheMask beneath]] her IceQueen persona Fiona is a highly unprofessional gooey [[DoggedNiceGuy lovesick]] woman who is constantly distracted in her work by her intense love for Loid. Her criticism towards Yor as Loid's wife (triggered mainly by severe jealousy), that she's clumsy and dim, applies to Fiona herself [[LoveMakesYouDumb as she loses it]] when Loid shows her affection, so she's really no different from Yor, just much better at hiding her emotions.
