* In ''Manga/BlackClover'', right after it appears that [[SatanicArchetype Lucifero's]] manifestation has been stopped and everyone relaxes thinking the crisis has been averted, the Supreme Devil Adrammelech casually tells everyone that it isn't, and that Lucifero managed to manifest with only 50% of his full power. Lucifero then demonstrates why [[TheDreaded he is to be feared]], and uses his [[GravityMaster Gravity Magic]] to force everyone into the ground before [[ItsPersonal making a beeline for Asta]].

* In one episode of ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'', the miserable rabbit [[ButtMonkey Mesousa]] has a time bomb [[ForTheEvulz placed on him by an adorable and polite "Jinx in Training" who wants him to be unhappy]].

Phase one is complete, clean the car, which moves us right along to phase two, clean you two."
* In ''Film/StarTrek2009'', the crew gets this one and a half times. First, they destroy Nero's ship... but then before they can even think about celebrating, the Enterprise starts getting sucked into the black hole! Once they've freed themselves from THAT unpleasant demise, the Crew doesn't celebrate. Instead, they share a collective sigh of relief. In the commentary, director JJ Abrams said he was trying to avoid having the crew cheer or anything like that. He wanted to avoid "Woo Hoo we kicked ass!" and instead go for "Holy shit did we just do that? I need to catch my breath!"

* This is [[spoiler:White]]'s undoing in ''Film/{{Exam}}''. He looks at the camera after the clock has run out to say that he should win because he was the one moving things while [[spoiler:Blonde]], the only other one left, did nothing and mostly lurked in the background. However, [[spoiler:the clock was messed with and he broke a rule by trying to talk with the ones holding the exam]].

* Subverted in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Fear Itself". The fight's over, everybody's back home and stuffing their faces with chocolate when Giles, reading up on the Monster Of The Week they'd just killed, suddenly exclaims,

Well, for whatever reason may be, the heroes have survived, but now have somehow been separated during the quest. Friends, Family, or just people that are happy to see each other. When they finally meet back up, they take a moment to celebrate their reunion, but it must be cut short. They are quickly reminded that they have no time to spare and must continue on with their goal.

* Subverted during the Land of Waves arc in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''. All seems (relatively) good with Zabuza taking out [[BigBad Gatō]] and coming to terms that he really cared about [[MoralityPet Haku]] plus Sasuke survived his injuries from his battle with the latter. Too bad Gatō's remaining thugs call to the heroes' attention that with their boss dead, they're going to raid the village just to break even. Fortunately, they don't get that far before [[BigDamnHeroes Inari]] [[TheCalvary and the newly-inspired civilians]] come along to save the day and make the thugs retreat...with a little aiding bluff from Naruto and Kakashi.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''; [[spoiler: when Link defeats [[FinalBoss Ganondorf]] here, Link is victorious, right? Wrong. The villain [[TakingYouWithMe tries to take him]] ''[[TakingYouWithMe and]]'' [[TakingYouWithMe Zelda with him]], [[CollapsingLair by using his final spell to slowly collapse the castle]], giving the player only [[RaceAgainstTheClock a limited amount of time]] to get himself and Zelda out of there before they're crushed, in what could likely be called the "EscortMission from PlatformHell". Even then, Link and Zelda's celebration is cut short, because Ganondorf is NotQuiteDead; cue OhCrap from Link and the ''true'' FinalBoss. ]]
