* ''Series/BreakingBad'': In "[[Recap/BreakingBadS2E5Breakage Breakage]]", the hospital secretary gives Walt a pin saying "hope is the best medicine" after another round of chemotherapy. However, this is right after giving Walt an incredibly expensive hospital bill (just for ''that'' session and ''with'' a discount) and the fact Walt's cancer is terminal, so it unintentionally comes off as extremely insulting. Walt tosses the pin in the trash the moment he's out the door, since he has absolutely nothing to be hopeful about.

* John Walker in ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' means well, has respect for Sam and Bucky and genuinely wants to live up to Steve Roger's legacy but in his efforts to prove that, Walker ends up making several remarks that rub Sam and Bucky the wrong way, such as when Walker claims in an interview he and Steve were practically brothers, despite never meeting Steve.

* In ''Series/TheOrville'' Isaac, based on Data detailed below, is an android possessing no emotion or empathy and often says things that upset his crewmates without understanding why. In later seasons he becomes slightly more aware but still rude by most standards, although by that point people understand there's no malice. It doesn't help that he is objectively superior in almost every way to everyone else on the ship, and has no problem just stating that out loud.

** His mom is this in another way. Mrs. Cooper is the type of stereotypical Born Again Christian that would be likely to tell someone YouAreACreditToYourRace or use an outdated, racist term (Leonard eventually has to make her a list of what she can't say). That said, she's so sweet and comforting (unlike her [[InsufferableGenius son]]) that you ''know'' she doesn't mean anything by it; it's just a side effect of being born and raised in east Texas.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'': {{Subverted}} in "[[Recap/CastleS7E7OnceUponATimeInTheWest Once Upon a Time in the West]]". Castle and Beckett, dressed as cowboys while staying at a dude ranch, go to the neighboring First Nations reservation to see if they know anything about the BodyOfTheWeek. A native rancher stops them at the gate and grouches at them about their costumes, given the history of the West. Castle and Beckett get OhCrap looks... and then the rancher grins: [[TheGadfly he just wanted to mess with them a bit]], and invites them inside.

* Series/TheWheelOfTime gives us the first meeting between Elayne Trakand, Daughter-Heir of Andor, raised in luxury as crown princess of one of the biggest and wealthiest countries on the planet, and Egwene al'Vere, a peasant-born novice and her next-door neighbour in the White Tower. Elayne, not realising she is looking at every material possession Egwene has in the world, questions why her room is "full of rubbish"... and then instantly realises her mistake and tries to recover by complimenting the craftsmanship of a blanket (which Egwene probably made herself). It's a good introduction to [[SpoiledSweet her character]].

* In ''Series/TheGoodDoctor'', the titular character Shaun was an [[IdiotSavant autistic savant]] who was skilled at treating patients, but because of his disorder [[BunnyEarsLawyer his bedside manner needed some work]] which he actively strives towards improving. On one occasion when dealing with a [[UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} trans woman]] patient he initially refused to acknowledge their dysphoria and continually referred to them as male (not helped by the fact that they had testicular cancer), which he later apologizes for. This is PlayedForDrama in the second season, as after he offends a mother by directly telling her that medication she took during pregnancy could've caused her child's illness PoliticallyIncorrectVillain [[DrJerk Dr. Han]] uses it as an excuse to transfer him.

* In ''Series/{{Black Snow|2022}}'', one of the snippets from the time capsule video shows Chloe Walcott saying that Ashford should have been named after her family, because their mill drove the economy for the region and therefore Ashford would not exist without her family. Isabel Baker, who is descended from people who were enslaved in that mill, can be seen glaring at her.

* In ''Series/{{Bridgerton}}'', Eloise's behaviour towards her best[=/=]OnlyFriend Penelope is often this. The basic issue is that, while Eloise and Penelope are both outcasts, Eloise is the only one who is an outcast by choice. Eloise, as the second daughter of a prominent family, is a fairly desirable catch in the marriage market yet takes pride in deliberately not participating in the social scene; meanwhile, Penelope desperately wants the social acceptance, [[AcceptableFeminineGoalsAndTraits romance and marriage]] but is unlikely to get it due to her family's lower station than the Bridgertons, as well as being awkward and overweight. Basically, Eloise has everything Penelope wants and can't have at her fingertips and makes a great show of not taking it. This is obviously very upsetting to Penelope, but Eloise is oblivious because she assumes Penelope feels the same way she does.
** A good example of this would be during the first party that they attend together. Multiple handsome young men ask Eloise to dance, and the AlphaBitch offers her a place in the GirlPosse, all right in front of Penelope and without even acknowledging her. Eloise dismissively brushes them all off, while Penelope's distraught expression just screams "what about me!?".
