* On ''CriminalMinds'', Elle manages to accidentally insult the team's antisocial Boy Genius, Reid, while profiling an Unsub:
-->'''Elle:''' I say student. You need self-confidence to lecture in front of a classroom full of 30 college
-->kids. Arsonists are socially incompetent. This guy doesn’t go on dates, doesn’t go to parties, doesn’t feel
-->comfortable in front of groups....
-->'''Reid:''' (gives Elle a strange look)
-->'''Elle:''' And of course he's a total psychopath.
-->'''Reid:''' Of course.

-->''Varric'': I swear I will find that son of a bitch (sorry mother) and I will KILL HIM.

* A weird case in ''JusticeLeague'' happened in an early episode when Hawkgirl, Superman, Martian Manhunter and the Flash are travelling through space to see why Green Lantern would surrender so readily to the Manhunters.

-->'''Ripley:''' I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.\\
[Snip argument between Ripley and Burke]\\
'''Ripley:''' Well, I believe Corporal Hicks has authority here. This operation is under military jurisdiction. Hicks is next in chain of command. Am I right, Corporal?\\
'''Hicks:''' Yeah. Yeah, that's right.\\
'''Burke:''' Look, Ripley, this is a multimillion-dollar installation, OK? He can't make that decision. He's just a grunt. [To Hicks] No offense.\\
'''Hicks:''' None taken. [Snip] I say we take off...nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

* Another example can be found in ''YoungJustice'', in which one character (Wally aka Kid Flash in this continuity) makes several disparaging remarks about aliens. Cue to Superboy (Kryptonian) and Miss Martian (obviously a Martian) standing there.
