* Adam Dodd of ''Roleplay/{{Survival of the Fittest}}'' receives a horrified reaction from his friends after he shoots a comatose member of his group in the head. Needless to say, just about everybody there called him out on it.
** During the final two, the other finalist Jack O'Connor brutally called him out on all of his murders throughout the game.
* In ''RolePlay/WeAreOurAvatars'', this is the default reaction of the saner members of the Group (i.e. everyone else) whenever [[VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} Caim]] [[BloodKnight goes slaughter-happy]]. This is PlayedForLaughs, as Caim is usually portrayed as an unsympathetic {{Jerkass}}.
** There was this one time [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Osaka]] accidentally shot Irene in the foot (with a very powerful gun, to boot) and everyone called her out on it.

* In ''WebAnimation/DeadFantasy'' V, Hitomi wordlessly delivers one to Hayate [[spoiler:after he sics an army of {{Ninja}}s on Tifa. It can be interpreted either she saw it as a cheap way to dispose of a WorthyOpponent, or she was appalled by the extent of the injuries they inflicted.]]
* ''WebAnimation/DorklyOriginals'':
** "Link's Wish" has [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] defeating Ganon and using the Triforce to grant his wish of... a pizza dinosaur. The Triforce is utterly dumbfounded and flies off, while Zelda berates Link for leaving Hyrule in ruins before she's eaten by the dinosaur.
** "Luke won't forgive Anakin": After ''Franchise/StarWars: Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', Luke (and Leia) won't forgive Anakin for the atrocities he committed just because he killed the Emperor. This is confusing not only to him, but Obi-Wan and Yoda as well.
* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
** After Agent Washington [[spoiler:shoots Agent South in the Head]] he and the A.I. Delta are called out by Church to be "some cold motherfuckers". It takes half an episode for Church and Caboose to stop trying to calm him down with a very annoying "just calm down...we are all your friends...lower your weapon" way of speaking.
--->'''Wash:''' Stop talking to me like that, I'm not insane. Now if you'll excuse me, [[ItMakesSenseInContext I have blow up this dead body.]]
** The Reds and Blues really let Church and Carolina have it when they plan to [[RevengeBeforeReason throw everything they have at the Director]], [[WeHaveReserves even using the Reds and Blues as cannon fodder]]. It only hits home when the Reds and Blues, including Washington, walk out on them.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In Volume 7, Ironwood is being seen by both the citizens of Mantle and at least some of the heroes as increasingly dictatorial and unreasonable in his decision-making process and the human suffering he's willing to overlook for the sake of achieving the "greater good". When he responds to Robyn's increasing attacks on the construction supplies being diverted from Mantle to Amity Tower, he contemplates the possibility of enforcing martial law on Mantle but a frustrated Nora quickly challenges it. When he tries to defend it by saying everyone must make sacrifices, Nora angrily notes that Mantle is bearing the burden alone. He backs down as a result. [[spoiler:Over time, he becomes less willing to back down until he finally crosses the line into true villainy at the end of Volume 7.]]
* ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'': In Season 3, Episode 1 - The Fun-Raiser, David and Gwen steal Quartermaster's hook as a pity ploy to raise funds for the camp [[spoiler:(since all of Cameron Campbell's assets are frozen). They get their comeuppance at the end of the episode.]]
* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', the Emperor, upon learning that the Custodes have done pretty much nothing for the better part of ten thousand years, promptly orders them to go out and help the Imperium, seeing how they have the best gear in the galaxy. [[{{Stripperific}} They do so minus the gear.]]
* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adW46gsMTXM video]] from ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded'' has ComicBook/IronMan called out for his actions in the first movie by Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}}. Tony gets to fire back by lampshading CardBoardPrison and JokerImmunity.
* In ''WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom'', Twilight, and pretty much the audience's reaction to [[spoiler:Rainbow Dash completely destroying Ponyville.]]
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Koden and some of the others call [[AmbiguouslyEvil Alex]] out on his...less than noble choices.
* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': The others really call out Vampire Lord on his actions in his fight against Keela during the fighting tournament.
* ''WebAnimation/ManiManiPeople'': In the bonus clip of this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW1d9axjtwc story]], Keita brags to Moroboshi and Niko that he gave Ritsuko and Haru pills that turn men into women and the events that happened after. They called him out for it, since he could've ruined both of their lives.
* In the Marvel Funko Short "Spellbound", ComicBook/IronMan is able to rescue ComicBook/SpiderMan from ComicBook/{{Loki}}'s spell by taking away his staff. Spidey decides to get revenge with the staff by... making his act like a chicken. Spidey laughs at Loki, but Iron Man shakes his head disappointingly and asks for the staff back, [[HeelRealization making Spidey hang his head in shame]].

* The ''Website/SCPFoundation'' is known for its BlackAndGrayMorality, being pragmatists at best and {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s at worst. On one occasion they're called out on their callous nature by the creator of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3108 SCP-3108]], a modified Nerf dart gun than can {{nerf}} objects. After he's informed that they tested it on people, he's horrified that they "turned his joke into a torture device" and is so disgusted he ends the interview early and demands the researcher leaves his cell.

* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog''. The VillainProtagonist is the one to call the hero Captain Hammer out on his idiocy. Captain Hammer had almost flattened Penny by disrupting Dr. Horrible's remote control on the van and proceeding to grandstand. Unfortunately for Horrible, Captain Hammer is just the kind of narcissist that lets this slide off his back and blame him for everything, and even more unfortunately, such is the universe that Horrible is a VillainBallMagnet.
* [[http://lparchive.org/Planescape-Torment/Update%2092/ This]] LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' has the Nameless One JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, corrupted by the game's TomeOfEldritchLore. Only to eventually reveal to the book that he was an evil bastard all along, just before destroying it.
* A comparatively minor example: In WebVideo/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife, Joy eventually calls Chris out for mocking Dash one time too many.
* [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] pet peeve is heroes who don't act like heroes. E.G., Frank Miller's All Star Batman and Robin, Neutro Number 1 and Superman at Earth's End.
** Linkara finally gets this himself in Catwoman, Guardian of Gotham #2.
* By seasons two and three of ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'', Jay is regular getting chewed out for his GenreBlindness, stalking, and focus on filming everything and putting it on Website/YouTube instead of helping people.
* In ''WebVideo/StrangeAeons'', Arron gets chewed out by Nick for filming his most private moments and putting them on his channel.
* In the "Cannon Ball Run" episode of Creator/AchievementHunter's ''[[LetsPlay/AchievementHunterGrandTheftAutoSeries Let's Play]] VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'', [[Creator/GavinFree Gavin]] had continuously messed up Team Lads' attempts to win in a round of "Cops n' Crooks", prompting Michael to ask what's going through his brain. When Gavin gives him the reasoning - that he was actively losing because they just kept on winning and thus [[VictoryIsBoring he felt it wasn't fun]] - it pissed Michael off enough that he temporarily tossed him off of Team Lads.
** In "Ryan's Heist" (''Let's Play VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV''), Michael chews out Ryan for killing Geoff (though that was an accident) and trying to kill Ray (that one wasn't).
* This is a common form of diss in the ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'':
** In "Bill Gates vs. UsefulNotes/SteveJobs":
-->'''Bill Gates''': Well Steve, you steal all the credit for work that other people do. Did your fat beard Wozniak write these raps for you too?
** In "UsefulNotes/BarackObama vs. Mitt Romney":
-->'''Romney''': You're [[{{Pun}} all Barack and no bite]]! Been no change and we're all still hoping... that you'll ''shut your mouth'', but like Guantanamo Bay they're both open.
** In "Franchise/{{Batman}} vs. Franchise/SherlockHolmes":
-->'''Batman''': You're not smart! You're selfish; you endanger everyone's life!
** Done by both sides in "[[Literature/TheBible Moses]] vs. SantaClaus":
--->'''Santa''': You been a naughty boy! You brought a plague of frogs! You best arrest yourself, you broke ''[[HypocriticalHumour Your own law]]''! Or was there something in [[ThouShallNotKill Rule 6]] I didn't understand? My list says "killed Egyptian dude, buried him in sand".
*** Later:

** "UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan vs. UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli":

*** And in the same battle:

** In "Creator/StephenKing vs. Creator/EdgarAllanPoe":
-->'''Stephen King''': ''Literature/MasqueOfTheRedDeath''? Barely blood-curdling. ''Literature/ThePitAndThePendulum''? Not even unnerving. Perving on your first cousin when she's 13 years old? Now ''that's'' disturbing.
** In "UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington vs. William Wallace", Wallace twice calls out Washington for owning slaves.
** In "Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} vs. Series/{{Mythbusters}}":
-->'''Mythbusters''': You built a laser grid with no safety switch, and [[JerkassHasAPoint Walter Peck was right]], that's some shady shit!

** In "Eastern Philosophers vs. Western Philosophers", Creator/{{Confucius}} calls out Friedrich Nietzsche on [[NiceJobBreakingItHero his inadvertent contribution to the rise of the Third Reich.]] Later, Creator/{{Voltaire}} gets one from [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{Socrates}}]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Socrates]]''': I won't be taught camaraderie by a frog who rigged the lottery! You make a mockery of ethics, so keep your fat nose in your coffee!
** In "Creator/JimHenson vs. Creator/StanLee":
-->'''Jim''': Let me mention, I'm impressed by all the vision that it took/For you to sign your name...\\
'''[[Series/TheMuppetShow Kermit the Frog]]''': On all of Jack Kirby's comic books!
** In their clash, Frederick Douglass spends near his entire rap calling Thomas Jefferson a {{Hypocrite}} for actively partaking in the African-American slave trade after fighting a war of liberation. Jefferson has no real comeback for it.
* The Courier in WebVideo/CouriersMindRiseOfNewVegas, practically makes it one of his many missions to do this to any character, that remotely makes him mad and/or does something [[TooDumbToLive incredibly stupid.]] [[JerkassHasAPoint Not that he's usually wrong.]]
* In "A New Planet & Antimatter!" by WebVideo/MatthewSantoro, Matthew dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter calls him out for being mean to his clone, Hugo.
* In "WebVideo/DeadpoolTheMusical 2," [[HeroicComedicSociopath Deadpool]] kills dozens of {{mooks}} in a warehouse decorated with anti-mutant posters before locating [[DefiantCaptive mutant prisoner Jubilee]], who is tied to a chair wearing a power-dampening collar. He fully expects her to applaud his heroics as he frees her, but she calls him out instead and triggers his {{heel realization}}:
--> '''Jubilee:''' "Don't think saving me is going to win you any points with the X-Men. You're not a superhero, you're an actual murderer."
* At the end of ''WebVideo/{{Dream}}'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kygSV5CJkO8 "2 Hunters" video,]] Sapnap has nothing but anger towards George after [[spoiler:he kills Sapnap eventually leading to Dream's victory]]. He only gets more annoyed at George when he realizes in the bonus video that [[spoiler:George killing him is the only reason Dream won in the first place, having used Sapnap's Ender Pearls to save himself from the void]].
* ''WebVideo/TitlePending'': In Episode 1 Alyssa requests to replace the duo's friends with new actors and in Episode 2 they hold auditions. In Episode 3 Caelan, Gordon and Caleb bring it up how messed up it is without letting Bayden speak up.
* ''WebVideo/SMPEarth'': [=TimeDeo=] to Tommy during the Internet Protocol Crisis:
--> '''Deo''': So you leaked the IP and you expect him [[=JoshA20=]] to save you?
* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Episode 78 of Campaign 3 is almost entirely dedicated to Bells Hells tearing Ashton a new one for [[spoiler:trying to absorb the shard of Rau'shan]] in the previous episode despite being warned not to, and coming within a hair's breadth of killing himself in the process. The fact that he ''lied'' to the other Hells to prevent them from intervening until it was too late completely shattered their trust in him, and the mission they were about to embark on had to be delayed until the group was able to properly process what happened.

Added DiffLines:
[[folder:Theatre]]
* Two major ones in ''Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix'':
** When Adams and Jefferson want to keep the anti-slavery clause in the Declaration, Rutledge of South Carolina launches into "Molasses to Rum," an absolutely damning song where he points out that New Englanders are the primary carriers of slaves from Africa to North America and it's absolutely hypocritical of them to blame the whole thing on the South. Then he walks out with the entire Southern delegation.
** Shortly after this, Franklin tells John that the anti-slavery clause must go, and Adams insults him. Franklin sharply corrects Adams's SurroundedByIdiots attitude, pointing out that the other congressmen are as proud and accomplished as Adams and they, like he, were given the trust and responsibility for their own colonies.
* In ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon'', Elder Price has a "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" after walking out on Elder Cunningham. He gets tormented by visions of {{Satan}}, his minions and a few historical figures whose heinous offenses are compared with his breaking Rule 72, but what really burns is the part where UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} calls him a dick.
* Theatre/DearEvanHansen has Good For You, basically an entire song of this, when the conflict is coming to a head. It is sung after Heidi discovers that Evan has been at the Murphy's all the time, Alana starts seeing gaps in Evan's lies, and Jared feels that Evan is only using him.
* Most of the reactions to Hamilton's affair in ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' fall under this. In ''We Know'', Hamilton's explanation of why Jefferson, Madison, and Burr think he is embezzling government money (namely, to pay blackmail to the husband of the woman he has cheated with) is met with a moment of stunned silence, followed by a "My God..." from Jefferson. Angelica, meanwhile, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rips into him]] in ''The Reynolds Pamphlet''. This is even longer in the cut song ''Congratulations'', where she claims that he's "invented a new kind of stupid". In both songs, she says that despite everything they've had together, she's siding with Eliza and tells him, "God, I hope you're satisfied", echoing their earlier words that the both of them will never be satisfied.
* Similarly, in ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}},'' when Hamlet switches a letter ordering his own execution with one ordering the deaths of its bearers (who happen to be his erstwhile schoolmates Rosencrantz and Guildenstern), his friend Horatio calls him on it. Hamlet, however, brushes it off with a glib, "They are not near my conscience," which Horatio seems to accept.
* In ''Theatre/HenryV'', the king goes [[KingIncognito incognito]] before the battle of Agincourt and mingles with his common soldiers. Unsurprisingly, they don't have a lot of cheerful, positive things to say about the next day's battle, since they are vastly outnumbered by fresh French soldiers, and they are not thrilled about the king that led them there. Henry (still pretending to be a regular dude) takes some offense and formally challenges one of the men. After the battle, he (now fully visible as king) calls the guy out, and the guy tells him if he got angry at his soldiers' honestly expressed thoughts, it's his own fault for dressing up like a commoner to fool them in the first place.
* Fairy tale conglomeration/parody ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' is ''made'' of this trope. The entire first act highlights the amorality of various fairy tale favorites in their quests to find 'happily ever after', with a character occasionally calling another out on it. It all comes to a head in the second act, which is dedicated entirely to the various characters dealing with the ramifications of their cutthroat methods. The song 'Your Fault' is a half example of this, tempered from a true 'what the hell' by the fact that the characters are simply scrambling to keep the blame off themselves, which ends in the unanimous decision to blame the Witch. Her response is of course a verbal spanking of epic proportions in 'The Last Midnight' for, aside from their amorality to begin with, wasting time finding blame when they should instead be dealing with the damn problem.
** Though the audience may find themselves thinking the Witch has [[{{Hypocrite}} very little room to talk]], what with her abuse of her adopted daughter Rapunzel (even if it's ironically [[MyBelovedSmother rooted in love]]), which comes up as way worse than, at least, Cinderella wanting to escape her unhappy home life. (Cinderella's only amoral action, in fact, is participating in blaming the Witch with the others.)
* In ''Theatre/KnightsOfTheSquareTable'', Sir Galahad calls out Merlin for not using his teleportation ability to get them to the deserted island in the first place, but only using it to get them off the island and back to the kingdom. [[spoiler:This happens before Sir Galahad realizes Merlin was the real villain.]]
* In ''Theatre/MissSaigon'', John blasts Chris and his wife Ellen for their decision to leave his son behind in Bangkok, assuring themselves that everything will be fine because of the financial support that they will send. Ignoring the fact that the child will face considerable prejudice because of his mixed race--and already has, given that his mother's cousin ''tried to kill him''--and heavily implying that the real reason behind their decision is to maintain their comfortable life in America without a permanent reminder of the fact that Chris had a WartimeRomance before meeting his wife.
* Wagner's ''Parsifal'' actually ''introduces'' its eponymous hero this way, with him being reprimanded for senselessly killing a swan. Of course, he's TheFool and has a lot to learn -- he doesn't even know his name at this point.
* In ''Theatre/PokemonLive'', there's a comical version. Brock gets the group lost when he chucks away the map to Viridian City to deliberately talk to a pretty girl and ask for directions. Needless to say, Misty is not happy.
* In the climactic scene of Noah Smith's stage version of ''Theatre/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'', Helen calls Utterson out for seeming more concerned about Jekyll's safety than about his potential future victims if he's left unchecked.
* At the climax of Shakespeare's ''Theatre/TheTempest'', Prospero is actually talked out of his revenge plot when his servant Ariel describes the distress of his captured enemies. Prospero realizes that if Ariel, a spirit of the air, can feel pity for these men, then he as their fellow human being should be compassionate as well.
* In Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TitusAndronicus'', the title character kills his youngest son, Mutius, in the first scene for very little reason and with amazingly little fanfare -- no dying speech, no nothing. He is called out by his remaining sons.
* In Theatre/{{Wicked}}, Elphaba calls out Glinda for using her sister's death as a trap to have her arrested. Though Glinda ''didn't'' intend to for Nessa to die in order to lure Elphaba, she did suggest using Nessa as a way to get to Elphaba.
-->'''Elphaba:''' I can't believe you would sink this low! To use my sister's ''death'' as a trap to capture me?!
** Glinda gets to deliver one to Elphaba at the end, when Elphaba is holding Dorothy hostage
-->'''Glinda:''' I know you don't want to hear it, but somebody has to say it! You are out of control!

* Two major ones in ''Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix'':
** When Adams and Jefferson want to keep the anti-slavery clause in the Declaration, Rutledge of South Carolina launches into "Molasses to Rum," an absolutely damning song where he points out that New Englanders are the primary carriers of slaves from Africa to North America and it's absolutely hypocritical of them to blame the whole thing on the South. Then he walks out with the entire Southern delegation.
** Shortly after this, Franklin tells John that the anti-slavery clause must go, and Adams insults him. Franklin sharply corrects Adams's SurroundedByIdiots attitude, pointing out that the other congressmen are as proud and accomplished as Adams and they, like he, were given the trust and responsibility for their own colonies.
* In ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon'', Elder Price has a "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" after walking out on Elder Cunningham. He gets tormented by visions of {{Satan}}, his minions and a few historical figures whose heinous offenses are compared with his breaking Rule 72, but what really burns is the part where UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} calls him a dick.
* Theatre/DearEvanHansen has Good For You, basically an entire song of this, when the conflict is coming to a head. It is sung after Heidi discovers that Evan has been at the Murphy's all the time, Alana starts seeing gaps in Evan's lies, and Jared feels that Evan is only using him.
* Most of the reactions to Hamilton's affair in ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' fall under this. In ''We Know'', Hamilton's explanation of why Jefferson, Madison, and Burr think he is embezzling government money (namely, to pay blackmail to the husband of the woman he has cheated with) is met with a moment of stunned silence, followed by a "My God..." from Jefferson. Angelica, meanwhile, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech rips into him]] in ''The Reynolds Pamphlet''. This is even longer in the cut song ''Congratulations'', where she claims that he's "invented a new kind of stupid". In both songs, she says that despite everything they've had together, she's siding with Eliza and tells him, "God, I hope you're satisfied", echoing their earlier words that the both of them will never be satisfied.
* Similarly, in ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}},'' when Hamlet switches a letter ordering his own execution with one ordering the deaths of its bearers (who happen to be his erstwhile schoolmates Rosencrantz and Guildenstern), his friend Horatio calls him on it. Hamlet, however, brushes it off with a glib, "They are not near my conscience," which Horatio seems to accept.
* In ''Theatre/HenryV'', the king goes [[KingIncognito incognito]] before the battle of Agincourt and mingles with his common soldiers. Unsurprisingly, they don't have a lot of cheerful, positive things to say about the next day's battle, since they are vastly outnumbered by fresh French soldiers, and they are not thrilled about the king that led them there. Henry (still pretending to be a regular dude) takes some offense and formally challenges one of the men. After the battle, he (now fully visible as king) calls the guy out, and the guy tells him if he got angry at his soldiers' honestly expressed thoughts, it's his own fault for dressing up like a commoner to fool them in the first place.

[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
* Myth/ClassicalMythology: Apollo, the Greek deity of the sun and the arts, once competed in a music competition with a satyr named Marsyas. When Apollo found out that he couldn't beat Marsyas, he challenged the satyr to do an impossible task: play on a flute and sing at the same time. In another version of the story, Apollo turns his lyre upside-down and plays beautifully and demands that Marsyas do the same. When he couldn't do that, Apollo announced himself to be the winner, and ordered the challenger to be skinned alive. In some myths, King Midas called him on his total jackassery (others, he simply voted for the other guy until Apollo did the MovingTheGoalposts bit), but Apollo just gave him donkey ears to shut him up. For the Ancient Greeks, the fault would have been Midas' [[ValuesDissonance for showing disrespect to Apollo]]. A point of the whole story, meanwhile, might have been that you don't enter contests where being flayed alive is the stake and the other guy is a god. And that you shouldn't go around saying you're better than a really powerful deity.
* ''Literature/{{Aeneid}}'': In Book 3, Aeneas and his men stop on an island and prepare for a meal, when a bunch of harpies come down and ruin the foo. So they prepare again, this time concealing weapons: when the harpies return, they attack. But not only are the harpies invulnerable (so the meal is still ruined), once they've flown to safety, one of them, Celaeno, gives a scathing speech, pointing out that the harpies were there first, and it's a little disproportionate to start a battle over some ruined food.
* ''Literature/TheIliad,'': Patroclus calls Achilles for moping over Briseis instead of fighting for Greece. Subverted by [[ButtMonkey Thersites]], who attempts to call out Agamemnon for being a {{Jerkass}} to Achilles, among other failings on his part, but gets beaten down by Odysseus for his arrogance.
* In ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh'', Shamash calls Enkidu out for cursing Shamhat, the sacred prostitute who introduced civilization to Enkidu, because of the grief it eventually cost him with the Bull of Heaven mess. Enkidu relents and instead offers a blessing for Shamhat.
* ''Literature/TheBible'':
** King David, slayer of Goliath, the measure of righteousness by which all other kings of Israel are measured--and adulterer guilty of [[UriahGambit getting a love rival killed]]. God sends Nathan to call him out, and while David repents immediately upon hearing the rebuke, [[LoveRuinsTheRealm the damage has been done]]. In fact, God--via Nathan--tells David a story about a rich man who killed a neighbor's pet sheep for his dinner despite having a large flock of his own (David had several wives at the time). [[ObliviousToHisOwnDescription David is furious and decrees that the rich man should die]], and four sheep of his flock should be given to the wronged neighbor. In a brilliantly delivered TwistEnding, God essentially gets David to call ''himself'' out.
---> '''David:''' As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.\\
'''Nathan:''' Thou art the man!
** Before this, Joab, David's right-hand man whose job it was to get Uriah killed, returns to Israel after it's done and hands David a list of all the ''other'' soldiers who were killed in the pointless attack that killed Uriah.
** In the Literature/BookOfDaniel, King Nebuchadnezzer of Babylon does a lot of stupid things, including threatening his seers with death unless they completed an impossible task and building a giant statue, forcing people to worship it, and attempting to kill 3 of his official who wouldn't, because they were Jewish. Both times, God sorts out the problem, and Nebuchadnezzer appears to have been converted so God lets him off. Then he breaks his promise one day by looking over his kingdom and calling himself God. So Daniel shows up to inform him that his punishment from God is that he will go insane for seven years and think he's an animal, which soon comes to pass.
** The ''Literature/BookOfJob'' has Job asking God why his possessions have been taken away, his children killed and his health afflicted. Job's friends keep trying to convince him that he must have done something to deserve the punishment (of which he could therefore repent), while Job holds the line and maintains his innocence before God. In spite of this, however, Job never really loses faith in God, nor does he directly accuse God of sin. Job's friends grow increasingly accusative as Job defends himself. God counters Job's complaints, not by explaining that Satan bet he could turn Job against God, but by explaining His omniscience causes His methods and actions to seem understandable to mortals. God also tells the friends that unlike Job, they were wrong about Him, and ''they'' are the ones who end up having to repent. Afterwards, God doubles Job's prosperity, giving him twice his prior crops and wealth, as well as more children. Apparently, God considered Job to have had twice as much children, because the first ten were [[{{Heaven}} living with Him]].
** In the ''Literature/BookOfJonah'', after the titular AntiHero reluctantly saves the city of Nineveh he throws a fit because he hated it and wanted to see it destroyed by God instead. God decides to [[ToughLove teach him a lesson]] by growing a plant to give him shade, only to have it wither and die. When Jonah bemoans his misfortune, God scolds him for caring more about a single plant than thousands of people.
** During the Last Supper, Peter says that he will follow Jesus even into death, if need be. Jesus responds that Peter will deny him three times that very day. Flash forward a few hours: while Jesus is on trial, some people recognize Peter as one of his followers. Forgetting all about the earlier conversation, Peter denies the he knows Jesus, with his denials becoming more and more emphatic each time he's asked. Immediately after the third such denial a rooster crows, and Jesus just turns and looks at him. Peter is so shamed by that look that he apparently gives up on Christianity altogether and goes back to his old life as a fisherman. [[TenMinuteRetirement He gets better, though]]; Jesus restores and reinstates Peter in the final chapter of John.
** In The Book of Mark, Jesus gives one to his disciples after they inform him that they commanded a man with the ability to exorcise evil spirits to stop because he was not a follower of Christ and tells them that as he was using his powers to do good deeds, they should see him as an ally and not an enemy.

* On the October 3rd, 2011 episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Monday Night RAW]]'', the wrestlers, the referees and the divas give Triple H the riot act over the fact that they felt that RAW was turning into a chaos-driven show. When it seems that Triple H just isn't listening, they all give a vote of No Confidence. This followed by Jerry "The King" Lawler [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walking out]], followed by the wrestlers, the divas, the officials, the announcers, the cameramen and finally the timekeeper.

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms campaign setting
** During the Time of Troubles, [[LawfulNeutral Helm]] was tasked with ensuring that the other gods did not enter a certain portal. When Mystra tried to force her way into the portal, Helm [[LawfulStupid struck her down without even bothering to figure out an alternative]]. The resulting outrage and backlash from the other gods (not to mention ''his own followers'') was so severe that to this day there's lingering resentment over what he did.
*** It's so bad, that the physical side effects of Mystra's death -- the creation of wild magic zones[[note]]places where magic becomes extremely erratic and unpredictable, resulting in bizarre outbursts whenever a spell is attempted[[/note]] and dead magic zones[[note]]places where no magic of any kind functions at all[[/note]] -- are derisively referred to as "Helmlands" in order to remind Helmites of his failure.
** Helm's followers weren't too long in getting their own incident of this when an expedition of one group's led to them discovering TabletopGame/{{Maztica}}... and promptly re-enacting "Conquistadors vs Aztecs". How bad was it? They founded an entire new order of ''paladins'' to try and make up for the damage those Helmites did.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': In the beginning of their guidebook to Hell, a comic shows a tour guide showing the decadent First Age Solar Exalted about the Demon City, only to realize that they don't care at all:
--> Oh, what's the use? Nobody cares anymore. Nobody comes here for the right reasons. You're all either hiding from your responsibilities, or lost in your own little worlds. Why do we bother?
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': after the Gatewatch [[spoiler:kill Ulamog and Kozilek]], Ugin shows up and basically calls them a pack of irresponsible jackasses, giving Jace in particular both barrels for being sanctimonious, deceitful, and arrogant, then tells them that he'd be quite happy if he never saw any of them again.
* In the UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse game ''TabletopGame/MasksANewGeneration'', one character type (the Reformed Villain) has this word-for-word as the name of a special ability. It's about calling out heroes on their own injustices.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': after Angron was beaten back from Armageddon, the Inquisition rounded the surviving local population to be sterilised and placed in forced labour camps to prevent them from spreading first-hand knowledge of Chaos. Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves... didn't like that very much, and has even vowed not to let this kind of thing happen again.
** Logan and Inquisition actually started a civil war, the Months of Shame, over this issue. It stopped only when Bjorn the Fell-Handed delivered another epic WhatTheHellHero speech to both Logan and (surviving) Grey Knights and Inquisitors. Justified, since their little feud caused more casualties than First War of Armageddon due to the fact the Inquisitor responsible went on an Exterminatus rampage in a failed attempt to wipe out every last trace of Armageddon's population, before attacking Fenris and losing his head ([[OffWithHisHead literally]]) at the hands of Logan.
** Under Logan Grimnar, the Space Wolves have started doing this a lot. But his subordinates tend to voice their displeasure with their Boltguns instead. One of the more notable examples, an event called Honor's End, saw hundreds of Marines dead when the Space Wolves were enraged by the Flesh Tearers' butchery of civilians long after the enemy had been routed.
** During the Third War for Armageddon, a group of Orks infiltrated a refugee camp. When the captain in charge of the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Marines Malevolent]] advocated wiping out the camp with artillery to eradicate the Orks, the Chapter Master of the Salamanders very nearly came to blows with him. In fluff, the Salamanders are much more conscious of civilians, and consequently much more careful to avoid civilian casualties, than most other chapters who often see them as "unfortunate, but they got in our way."
** During the Horus Heresy, many of the Thousand Sons - prior to their fall to true damnation - spent a fair chunk of "A Thousand Sons" chewing out the Space Wolves for their thoughtlessly destructive purge of Heliosa and their hypocrisy in using psykers themselves while simultaneously accusing the Thousand Sons of practicing sorcery.
** Eldrad gets chewed out by the rest of the Craftworld Farseers after the events of Death Masque. Not only for stealing the bodies of dead farseers and deceiving his allies so that he could attempt a dangerous ritual. But for trying to personally determine the fate of their people countless times in the past.

Job's friends keep trying to convince him that he must have done something to deserve the punishment (of which he could therefore repent), while Job holds the line and maintains his innocence before God. In spite of this, however, Job never really loses faith in God, nor does he directly accuse God of sin. Job's friends grow increasingly accusative as Job defends himself. God counters Job's complaints, not by explaining that Satan bet he could turn Job against God, but by explaining His omniscience causes His methods and actions to seem understandable to mortals. God also tells the friends that unlike Job, they were wrong about Him, and ''they'' are the ones who end up having to repent. Afterwards, God doubles Job's prosperity, giving him twice his prior crops and wealth, as well as more children. Apparently, God considered Job to have had twice as much children, because the first ten were [[{{Heaven}} living with Him]].
** In the ''Literature/BookOfJonah'', after the titular AntiHero reluctantly saves the city of Nineveh he throws a fit because he hated it and wanted to see it destroyed by God instead. God decides to [[ToughLove teach him a lesson]] by growing a plant to give him shade, only to have it wither and die. When Jonah bemoans his misfortune, God scolds him for caring more about a single plant than thousands of people.
** During the Last Supper, Peter says that he will follow Jesus even into death, if need be. Jesus responds that Peter will deny him three times that very day. Flash forward a few hours: while Jesus is on trial, some people recognize Peter as one of his followers. Forgetting all about the earlier conversation, Peter denies the he knows Jesus, with his denials becoming more and more emphatic each time he's asked. Immediately after the third such denial a rooster crows, and Jesus just turns and looks at him. Peter is so shamed by that look that he apparently gives up on Christianity altogether and goes back to his old life as a fisherman. [[TenMinuteRetirement He gets better, though]]; Jesus restores and reinstates Peter in the final chapter of John.
** In The Book of Mark, Jesus gives one to his disciples after they inform him that they commanded a man with the ability to exorcise evil spirits to stop because he was not a follower of Christ and tells them that as he was using his powers to do good deeds, they should see him as an ally and not an enemy.

* On the October 3rd, 2011 episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Monday Night RAW]]'', the wrestlers, the referees and the divas give Triple H the riot act over the fact that they felt that RAW was turning into a chaos-driven show. When it seems that Triple H just isn't listening, they all give a vote of No Confidence. This followed by Jerry "The King" Lawler [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walking out]], followed by the wrestlers, the divas, the officials, the announcers, the cameramen and finally the timekeeper.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms campaign setting
** During the Time of Troubles, [[LawfulNeutral Helm]] was tasked with ensuring that the other gods did not enter a certain portal. When Mystra tried to force her way into the portal, Helm [[LawfulStupid struck her down without even bothering to figure out an alternative]]. The resulting outrage and backlash from the other gods (not to mention ''his own followers'') was so severe that to this day there's lingering resentment over what he did.
*** It's so bad, that the physical side effects of Mystra's death -- the creation of wild magic zones[[note]]places where magic becomes extremely erratic and unpredictable, resulting in bizarre outbursts whenever a spell is attempted[[/note]] and dead magic zones[[note]]places where no magic of any kind functions at all[[/note]] -- are derisively referred to as "Helmlands" in order to remind Helmites of his failure.
** Helm's followers weren't too long in getting their own incident of this when an expedition of one group's led to them discovering TabletopGame/{{Maztica}}... and promptly re-enacting "Conquistadors vs Aztecs". How bad was it? They founded an entire new order of ''paladins'' to try and make up for the damage those Helmites did.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': In the beginning of their guidebook to Hell, a comic shows a tour guide showing the decadent First Age Solar Exalted about the Demon City, only to realize that they don't care at all:
--> Oh, what's the use? Nobody cares anymore. Nobody comes here for the right reasons. You're all either hiding from your responsibilities, or lost in your own little worlds. Why do we bother?
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': after the Gatewatch [[spoiler:kill Ulamog and Kozilek]], Ugin shows up and basically calls them a pack of irresponsible jackasses, giving Jace in particular both barrels for being sanctimonious, deceitful, and arrogant, then tells them that he'd be quite happy if he never saw any of them again.
* In the UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse game ''TabletopGame/MasksANewGeneration'', one character type (the Reformed Villain) has this word-for-word as the name of a special ability. It's about calling out heroes on their own injustices.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': after Angron was beaten back from Armageddon, the Inquisition rounded the surviving local population to be sterilised and placed in forced labour camps to prevent them from spreading first-hand knowledge of Chaos. Logan Grimnar of the Space Wolves... didn't like that very much, and has even vowed not to let this kind of thing happen again.
** Logan and Inquisition actually started a civil war, the Months of Shame, over this issue. It stopped only when Bjorn the Fell-Handed delivered another epic WhatTheHellHero speech to both Logan and (surviving) Grey Knights and Inquisitors. Justified, since their little feud caused more casualties than First War of Armageddon due to the fact the Inquisitor responsible went on an Exterminatus rampage in a failed attempt to wipe out every last trace of Armageddon's population, before attacking Fenris and losing his head ([[OffWithHisHead literally]]) at the hands of Logan.
** Under Logan Grimnar, the Space Wolves have started doing this a lot. But his subordinates tend to voice their displeasure with their Boltguns instead. One of the more notable examples, an event called Honor's End, saw hundreds of Marines dead when the Space Wolves were enraged by the Flesh Tearers' butchery of civilians long after the enemy had been routed.
** During the Third War for Armageddon, a group of Orks infiltrated a refugee camp. When the captain in charge of the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Marines Malevolent]] advocated wiping out the camp with artillery to eradicate the Orks, the Chapter Master of the Salamanders very nearly came to blows with him. In fluff, the Salamanders are much more conscious of civilians, and consequently much more careful to avoid civilian casualties, than most other chapters who often see them as "unfortunate, but they got in our way."
** During the Horus Heresy, many of the Thousand Sons - prior to their fall to true damnation - spent a fair chunk of "A Thousand Sons" chewing out the Space Wolves for their thoughtlessly destructive purge of Heliosa and their hypocrisy in using psykers themselves while simultaneously accusing the Thousand Sons of practicing sorcery.
** Eldrad gets chewed out by the rest of the Craftworld Farseers after the events of Death Masque. Not only for stealing the bodies of dead farseers and deceiving his allies so that he could attempt a dangerous ritual. But for trying to personally determine the fate of their people countless times in the past.

Some video games offer dialogue trees or something similar that might allow your character to call someone out for their horrible behavior, which can be immensely satisfying.

If it's a child calling out a parent or vice versa, it's CallingTheOldManOut or CallingTheYoungManOut.

Can also overlap with CowardiceCallout if the hero is being called out on shortcomings that are rooted in fear or a lack of well-placed courage.

The hero may lash out at the reproof if they CantTakeCriticism.
