Once he ''does'' [[TheFarmerAndTheViper wind up victimized]], though, he immediately blurts out that she robbed him, only for Alya to chide him that ''they all know'' Lila doesn't lie. His efforts to convince the police fall flat as well.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' episode "Vindicated," Dib thinks he's managed to convince the school's guidance counselor, Mr. Dwicky, that Zim is an alien who's trying to conquer Earth, but Dwicky tells a colleague that he's just playing along so Dib will eventually feel comfortable enough around him to confess what always has him so on edge and antisocial. Dib feels very hurt once he realizes that Dwicky never really believed him, but then Zim shows up without his disguise because he fell for the trap Dib and Dwicky set up, pretending to be fellow aliens offering him superweapons.

* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'': The WholeFlashbackEpisode revealing Twilight's past and how he became a spy actually reveals that [[spoiler:Franky Franklin]] was the one to instigate it through this trope. [[spoiler:Franky realized that the government can just feed masses the information they want them to have and even manipulate them, so they'd rally behind the war between Ostania and Westalis. With both sides claiming the other was the instigator of the war, Franky decided that fighting without knowing the full picture was simply a dumb idea and deserted from the army.]] Twilight ignored and denied this at first, but after [[spoiler:his childhoodfriends were sent on what basically amounted to a suicide mission]] and wondering if having more intel about the whole thing could have saved lives, Twilight leaves the army to join the intelligence divison.
