* ''WebComic/ScarletLady'': Being placed in charge of the student film in "Horrificator" goes right to Nino's head, and he spends the whole episode trying to [[BadBoss boss everybody around]], changing the script without warning anyone and showing some real ControlFreak tendencies. He even nearly rewards Chloe's blatant sabotage by trying to convince everyone to let her replace Mylene after she drives her away in tears. His behavior makes him a ButtMonkey, and he only learns his lesson after [[spoiler:their film doesn't even make it past the first round, forcing him to honestly assess its poor quality and his equally poor behavior]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has [[Characters/AmphibiaAnneBoonchuy Anne Boonchuy]] undergo this in the episode "Breakout Star", when a case of acne makes her popular among the frog residents of Wartwood. In an interesting variation, her adopted family doesn't resent her for her newfound fame and ego, and instead continues to support her. When Anne's acne clears up, she's humbled by the lengths they go through to help her fake still having it so she can keep her new life. At the end of the episode, she decides to give everything up when she realizes that continuing the charade means they can no longer be a part of her life and apologizes for letting the adoration go to her head.
