** In "My Sister, My Sitter", when Lisa tries to call the 911 operator [[ItMakesSenseInContext after Bart knocks himself unconscious]], the latter dismisses her call (due to Bart's multiple prank calls on him beforehand) and asks her, "How dumb do you think we are?". To say he ''is'' dumb would be an understatement.

** In "My Sister, My Sitter", when Lisa tries to call Chief Wiggum [[ItMakesSenseInContext after Bart knocks himself unconscious]], the latter dismisses her call (due to Bart's multiple prank calls on him beforehand) and asks her, "How dumb do you think we are?".

* In Elliot Rodger's infamous manifesto, he complains about how women like "obnoxious brutes" and other "bad" men and ignore him, who he calls "the perfect gentlemen", completely unaware that (judging from the manifesto) he comes across as an [[SmugSnake arrogant prick who's contempt for everyone else is palpable]] and who [[PsychopathicManchild throws a temper tantrum and even physically attacks people when he doesn't get what he wants (such as girls not throwing themselves at him) or gets jealous when he sees a couple kissing or the like)]].

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:

* This is a classic from fairy tales (e.g. Grimms False Princess who happily declares her own death sentence this way) and surely has its own Aarne-Thompson number.

* ''Series/Psych'': In one episode, Shawn and Gus are hanging at a playground in an attempt to covertly interview some nannies. After a while, Buzz shows up and awkwardly informs them that the police got a call about “two creepy dudes” loitering at the playground. It takes them a minute to get the hint.

--->'''Tony Stark:''' {{Divide and conquer}} is great, but he knows he has to take us out to win, right? That's what he wants. He wants to beat us, he wants to be seen doing it. He wants an audience. [...] Yeah. [Stuttgart]'s just previews, this is... this is opening night. And Loki, he's a ''full-tilt diva''. He wants flowers, he wants parades, he wants a monument built to the skies with his name plastered... ''[he suddenly realizes that his own name is written in huge letters on the Stark Tower, and thus realizes that [[spoiler:Loki intends to use it for his EvilPlan]]]'' ...son of a bitch.

Nyarko angrily asks if its brain is short-circuiting...and Mahiro quietly points out that it's acting ''exactly like her'', the AI being an exact copy of Nyarko's own brain patterns. [[HypocriticalHumor At which point she starts praising it.]]

* According to Greg Sestero, he didn't want Creator/TommyWiseau to see the movie ''Film/TheTalentedMrRipley'' by fear he might recognize himself too much in the titular character and be offended. However, Tommy didn't make any parallels with his own life and even used the movie as an inspiration.

His autobiography ''Chuck Amuck'' quotes Schlesinger's reaction to the character as follows: "Jeethus Christh, that'th a funny voithe! Where'd you get that voithe?"

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E12ThePandoricaOpens "The Pandorica Opens"]]: [[spoiler:The Doctor tells us of the legend of the being trapped inside the Pandorica: "A goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it — one day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world." The Doctor doesn't seem to realize that sounds exactly what his enemies would describe him as...]]

* ''Literature/TheBible'' has an instance of this with respect to King David. After David's UriahGambit is successful and Uriah is slain by the Ammonites, God becomes angry at David and sends a message to Nathan the Prophet. Nathan tells David about a rich man that had numerous herds and other possessions. His neighbor was a poor man with one little ewe lamb that he loved dearly. When the rich man wanted to entertain a guest, he was reluctant to kill one of his many lambs. Instead, he killed the poor man's lamb and cooked it for his guest. Upon hearing the story, David becomes furious and declares that the man will surely die and that he will pay fourfold for the lamb because he did this thing and had no pity. Nathan does not pull any punches and tells him [[ThisLoserIsYou "You are the man!"]]
