* ''Series/TheInbetweeners'': Given how much time all four characters spend holding the IdiotBall, there's plenty to choose from. The best (or worst) example is in the Warwick episode. Simon and Tara are at the point in their relationship where they want to have sex, but can't do so in either of their parents' homes. Therefore, they plan to go and visit her sister who's at university (in Warwick) and have sex at her place. Upon hearing Simon doesn't really have a "plan", the other boys opt to tag along to help him out.\\

* ''Series/TheInbetweeners'': Given how much time all four characters spend holding the IdiotBall, there's plenty to choose from. The best (or worst) examples include the following:
** In the work experience episode, Will and Neil's experience placements get mixed up, leading Will to work in a garage while Neil gets a placement at a newspaper's that Will specifically applied for. Mr Gilbert claims that he can't amend the mix-up (although it is suggested he might've been willing to correct it if not for his dislike of Will and the latter's general snottiness) and Will is sent to the garage.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Will would suck it up and make the most of his opportunity, after all, experience in a field different to what you were hoping to go into is better than no experience and he might even learn some new skills. Or failing that, he would at least make an effort to get along with his colleagues.\\
'''Instead''': He immediately tells his supervisor and his colleagues that he's "too clever" to work at a "place like this", which rubs them up the wrong way and causes them to resort to playing pranks on him, from an innocuous snipe hunt to being stripped to his underwear and being chucked in a pond.
** Will's Dilemma features a double
example with Will and Simon. During the episode, Simon mentions to Will that he and Tara arranged a double date with him and one of her friends, Kerry, at Waterside, which Will is immediately skeptical of having not agreed to it.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Simon to explain that Kerry's dad passed away recently and that Tara had arranged it as a way to cheer her up, that way Will would at least be understanding even if he wasn't fully on board with it.\\
'''Instead''': He just vaguely mentions Kerry's "been having a tough time", but doesn't hesitate to mention that she has a knack for giving out blowjobs to her former partners, which leads to Will choosing between whether to dubiously receive a blowjob from a girl he doesn't find attractive.\\
'''Later On''': Will ultimately decides not to pursue the blowjob and dumps Kerry while at Neil's birthday party, which she doesn't take well and Tara explains the situation to Will.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Will, upon realising this, to be sympathetic and explain if he had known Kerry's dad had died, he would've handled things differently.\\
'''Instead''': He just adds fuel to the fire but saying the dead dad isn't "relevant" to why he broke up with her and that it didn't make Kerry entitled to a relationship Will never consented to. [[JerkassHasAPoint While he's not technically wrong]], his extreme insensitivity on the matter causes all the other guests to turn against him and he is promptly kicked out of Neil's house as a result.\\
'''For Added Bonus''': Will comes across Simon later on and calls him out on his SkewedPriorities
in mentioning the potential blowjob rather than the dead dad.
** In
the Warwick episode. Simon and Tara are at the point in their relationship where they want to have sex, but can't do so in either of their parents' homes. Therefore, they plan to go and visit her sister who's at university (in Warwick) and have sex at her place.

** In "Elevator Kiss", Kid Danger ends up kissing Bianca while rescuing her from a rogue elevator in the Nakatomi Tower, and since she doesn't know both Henry and Kid Danger are one and the same, Henry begins assuming Bianca cheated on him and gets angry at her during a game night.\\
'''You'd Expect''': When Bianca starts telling about the elevator rescue, for Henry to shout something like, "You kissed Kid Danger!" to her face.\\
'''Instead''': He keeps going "And?" while Bianca goes on, [[CannotSpitItOut but she does not bring up the kiss]]. Thus Henry had to stage a rescue at the school and attempts to kiss Bianca again as Kid Danger, and that is when she brings up the kiss was a mistake and was meant for Henry.

** "Cave the Date":
*** Because Charlotte's kitchen was set on fire and there's a hawk in the Hart house, Ray converts the Man Cave into a secret underground restaurant so Charlotte can have a private dinner with Jack Swagger. Piper, who is acting as the pianist, takes a selfie of her with Jack in the background.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Piper to keep the photo private or share it with just Henry, Ray, Charlotte, Jasper, or Schwoz.\\
'''Instead''': She posts the photo online, attracting the attention of various tourists who become aware of Jack and the restaurant.
*** After Jasper tells the team what happened, Ray is angry over Piper causing unwanted guests to crash the party and demands her presence.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Ray to poke his head out of the soundproof curtain and summon Piper, or pull Piper into the kitchen himself.\\
'''Instead''': He repeatedly screams Piper's name without opening the curtain, thus she does not hear him. Henry tries to tell him the curtain is soundproof, but he doesn't listen. [[KarmaHoudini Piper is never punished afterwards.]]

** "Ox Pox": Piper eats one of Schwoz's cookies with comodium acetate in it, resulting in her getting Ox Pox, and she must be cured otherwise things will get worse.\\
'''You'd Expect''': For Ray and Henry to use the Time Jerker's time machine to go back in time and prevent Piper from eating the cookie.\\
'''Instead''': While they do use the time machine, they instead use it to go to 1709 Prudhoe Bay to obtain an extinct bird whose feathers are needed to make the cure. Ray ends up lost and nearly frozen, and Schwoz accidentally brings back Ray from 50 years in the future until Henry saves him.


Added DiffLines:

** "Sick & Wired": Henry is bedridden with a cold for three days, but Ray assumes Henry is just PlayingSick to avoid coming to work.\\
'''You'd Expect''': For Ray to go to the Hart house with his Truth Fingers invention from "Birthday Girl Down" to use on Henry to see if he's truly sick.\\
'''Instead''': He never thinks of this and has Schwoz install cameras in Henry's room to spy on him, and later attaches a wire to Jasper to trick Henry into admitting he's not really sick, in addition to trapping [[OnlySaneMan Charlotte]] in the tubes so she doesn't intervene.
