* In the ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' episode "Perplexahedron", Azmuth contacts Ben and his team to reprimand them for failing to stop Aggregor from gathering 3 out of the 4 pieces of the Map of Infinity and reminds them of the consequences will be dire if Aggregor reaches the Forge of Creation. Ben isn't interested in hearing any of it because it's not helping them find Aggregor and his words are thus not important. Azmuth looks like he's about to argue, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness only to end up conceding Ben's point]].

* Uttered verbatim by Clark Kent in ''[[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E16To18WorldsFinest The Batman/Superman Movie]]'' (aka the "World's Finest" multi-parter in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'') when he finds a Bat-tracker on his cape after he changes back to Clark Kent to go to bed. As he'd earlier discovered Batman is Bruce Wayne using XRayVision, he now looks out his window and sees Batman some distance away looking at Clark through some binoculars. Batman gives a little wave and departs. Clark can only mutter "Touche" as he breaks the tracker.

* One episode of ''Series/CobraKai'' has Johnny and Daniel trying to teach each other their methodology of karate, with Daniel trying to convince Johnny that the best way to win a fight is, as Mr. Miyagi once said, "no be there." Johnny on the other hand tries to teach Daniel to be more assertive by instigating a fight between them and some hockey players, and then bailing to let Daniel fight them by himself. When Johnny gives "no be there" as his reasoning for taking off, Daniel's reaction is an equal mix of pure frustration and a genuine nod of "well done."

* In ''Anime/Persona5TheAnimation'', [[PlayerCharacter Ren]] and Ryuji meet Ohya, a journalist who eventually becomes one of Ren's Confidants, when Ohya is staking out [[ArcVillain Madarame's]] shack.

Ryuji then points out that Ohya's hardly one to talk, at which point she laughs and admits Ryuji has a point.

* ''Film/TheThreeMusketeers1961'': At the end, the UsefulNotes/CardinalRichelieu sends a sign of the hand to the Musketeers as they show up on time at the call to arms, after also receiving the news of the death of both Milady and Rochefort, meaning their scheme to kill the three Musketeers and D'Artagnan has failed. Judging by his body language, that means he grudgingly admits the Musketeers won this time. But now they're being sent on assignment to the siege of La Rochelle, so they're part of other plans of his anyway.

* In ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'', Seki, an officer in the Self-Defense Force, tries to get Koyemshi to let him and the others investigate [[HumongousMecha Zearth]], saying it has cost many of his countrymen their lives.

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', when the girls are going on a week-long field study, Professor Oobleck tells Ruby to leave her giant backpack behind since he already packed the essentials. When they get to the airport, he tells the team that out in the field they need to obey his instructions ''exactly''...and then he notices Ruby still has her backpack[[note]]This is because her father asked her and Yang to watch the family dog while he was away on business, but they can't just leave him alone in their dorm room for a week straight so she's attempting to smuggle him along[[/note]]. When he asks why she brought it, she responds "You hadn't told us to obey your orders yet, so I didn't". After thinking about it for a second, Oobleck concedes "She's not wrong".
