-->'''Dumbledore:''' Silence! I shall not be spoken to like a child. It was my decision...\\
'''[=McGonagall=]:''' No! It was your ''desire''. You had no ''authority'' to withhold little Harry from Black. The Longbottoms hadn't been attacked yet, nor had Amelia Bones. I personally hope when you're sued for everything that you have for wrongful imprisonment, that you spend the rest of your days wearing a [[BankruptcyBarrel transfigured barrel]].

* The titular character of ''Series/{{Castle}}'' does this CONSTANTLY. He's a big fan of CIA/NSA conspiracies, alien abductions, time travel, and in an episode where a murder victim has a butler, he would dearly love to say "TheButlerDidIt."

* ''Fanfic/LightIlluminatesDarkness'': SlowlySlippingIntoEvil is discussed. When Jasper and Sara are talking about a lead on finding Wade, a drug dealer who was last seen with Sara's sister Selena, Sara wonders how many lives Wade could have ruined. Jasper admits that people like Wade spend so much time being criminals they become numb to the evil they do with every life they ruin.
--> '''Sara:''' Sara's eyes widened. "No way. Do you think it's the same guy? Is the same guy messing with your cousin and my sister? How many lives do you think he's ruined… This Wade character…"
--> '''Jasper:''' "Possibly. I mean, from what I've heard about guys like that… They stop caring who they hurt. It's complicated because they're doing it to support themselves. Still, after a while, it stops being just about that. After a while, it becomes about making as much money as they can, no matter how many people they hurt." Jasper said.
--> '''Sara:''' "Yeah, I suppose you're right." Sara sighed. "It's a shame that there are people out there who end up thinking that way."
--> '''Jasper:''' Jasper sheepishly rubbed at the back of his neck. "I think that's just what the drug trade does to people. It ruins the lives of the addicts, but it also takes away a lot of humanity from the people who get involved in selling it. It ruins their minds, too."
--> '''Sara:''' "That's pretty bleak." Sara stared back at him, astonished by what he was saying. "Still, I can imagine your cousin probably told you a whole lot of stories that taught you this, huh?"
--> '''Jasper:''' "Yeah. Once you've heard the kinds of things people like him have seen, you realize just how destructive that whole criminal underworld is for everyone involved. It's an awful business." Jasper shook his head, then turned to Sara again. "I'm gonna ask him the next time I see him. I'll ask him to tell me more about Wade."

* In a ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' episode PeerPressureMakesYouEvil is discussion. After Cory steals a bottle of whiskey from his father and gets himself and Shawn drunk and arrested, Cory's father refuses to believe that Cory chose to drink on his own and accuses Shawn of pressuring Cory into it. Shawn attempts to play into this trope and 'admits' to cajoling Cory into drinking, to get Cory out of trouble, but Cory rejects his attempt to take the rap and impresses on his parents that he chose to drink all on his own due to his own personal problems, and they can't always shift the blame onto his friends.

Of necessity, almost all criticism involves the twilight realm between ConversationalTroping and Discussing the trope; as a rule, Website/TVTropes errs on the side of calling them "discussed", because the trope is directly relevant to the "plot" at hand, except in the PlayingWithWiki [[note]]The reasoning being that, in the generic PlayingWithWiki setting, a Conversed trope is indistinguishable from a critique[[/note]].
