* An epic case in ''Series/{{Vikings}}''. King Ecbert from the English kingdom of Wessex has formed an alliance with the Norse led by Ragnar, and gives them land to farm and settle on in England. However, Ecbert's son Aethelwolf and many of the nobles loudly grumble about the idea of just letting the practicing pagans live among them. Then behind Ecbert's back Aethelwolf and these unhappy nobles lead a force that utterly wipes out the Norse settlement. Ecbert furiously denounces them all and arrests the nobles for treason, and promises Aethelwolf that he won't escape punishment either. The king and the prince take their argument behind closed doors with only the two of them present... and immediately start celebrating how well their scheme to eliminate the Norse and the disobedient nobles went.

* ''LetsPlay/MikeBurnFire'': Acknowledged by Zach in one of his many stories about life in the Army where his sergeants played a 'game' with a rubber stress ball shaped like a grenade. Soldiers who heard a sergeant yell 'frag out' were expected to [[JumpingOnAGrenade fall on the fake grenade if they were nearest to it]]. Except that one time, when Zach was nearest to the door when a sergeant threw the fake grenade, he simply [[CuttingTheKnot kicked it back outside]]... prompting a sergeant to yell "WHO DID THAT." Zach confessed and was told to get into the sergeant's office, where he expected to be punished with a presumably absurdly large number of push-ups while being yelled at. Instead, the sergeant immediately went back into a normal tone of voice and acknowledged that, in a combat situation, Zach's choice was technically the most correct choice, but the purpose of the grenade drill was mostly to encourage compliance with prior instructions and being willing to take one for the team. Zach was let off with little more than a warning, though the sergeant said that he was going to yell Zack out of his office in order to keep up the charade of being a DrillSergeantNasty.

So, he tries to start by negotiating with a customer on paying for a magazine subscription. When said customer refuses, Dan snaps and '''''threatens him with physical violence''''' if he doesn't pay, much to the utter shock of the other clients in the room. His boss heard it all, and brought him to her office, and Dan is sure that he is finally fired. But he is quite surprised to hear her actually ''congratulate'' him for this, because she was impressed with the way he scares customers into paying. So, she gives him his ''own room on the first day'' in which he can work in, which involves yelling at customers via telephone.
