* Done to great comedic effect in the ''Series/RedDwarf'' episode "Tikka To Ride". Lister's irresponsible use of time travel to try and recover the ship's lost curry supplies results in them inadvertently preventing the Kennedy assassination and setting off a chain of events that results in humanity being wiped out by nuclear war. To SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, they get the version of JFK from the alternate timeline, who was impeached, disgraced and imprisoned when it was revealed that he shared a mistress with a mob boss; to travel back to 1963 and assassinate himself. The plan works, Kennedy thanks the crew for giving him the chance to redeem his legacy and walks away, fading from existence as reverent music plays. After a moment Lister declares "Oh smeg. I forgot to ask him if he knew any curry houses in Dallas." Rimmer and the Cat then very calmly begin beating him up for having learned nothing.

** '''Series/{{Arrow}}'': In Season 3 Episode 9 "The Climb", Oliver must face Ra's Al Ghul in a duel to the death using swords. The fight begins with Ra's unarmed while Oliver has two blades. Ra's dominates the fight, taking one of Oliver's blades during the battle. Oliver seems outmatched when music of worry starts to play as our hero is held to a standstill at the end of a sword at around 40:43... suddenly at 40:48 Oliver uses his remaining sword to parry Ra's blade and mount an offensive. The music of concern gives way to optimistic music. Oliver is mounting his comeback and the song has almost gone full-on Arrow theme music.... which is abruptly stopped when at 40:53 Ra's uses his bare hand to stop Oliver's sword mid-swing. Ra's punches him in the throat, slices his abdomen, monologues, stabs him through the chest, and kicks him off the side of a mountain. [[spoiler: [[OurHeroIsDead Oliver dies from his injuries]].]]

** "A Day In May" gives us two typically comical storylines featuring Frasier helping Lana sell a house, Niles gets jealous of Daphne's friendship with an attractive man, and Roz's daughter being sick in Frasier's car. This all contrasts with Martin's storyline which sees him attending the parole hearing of the man who [[CareerEndingInjury shot him in the hip]] during a robbery. Martin's scenes are played without comedy and end with the man's parole being denied while his mother can only watch in tears.
