* In an episode of TheMindyProject, Mindy is going through a lengthy and argumentative questionnaire with her love interest/frenemy Dr. Castelllano (who is recently divorced because his wife had an affair). When he checks that she isn't planning to have kids because she's not married or in a serious relationship, Mindy says this.
-->'''Mindy:''' Yeah, but when I do get married, I'm gonna stay married, unlike you."
Danny's response is to list a terrible hypothetical life Mindy is going to have, step by step. He never says what she says he's upset by what he's said-because he doesn't have to.

* In ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', it's not uncommon for Joel, Mike and/or the Bots to do something a little over the top and get chided for it. A well known one was in ''[[Series/GeminiMan Riding With Death]]'' where Mike and Tom get tired of Crow's DoubleEntendre quips and even apologizing for a ''very'' racist scene in ''Film/TheWildWorldOfBatwoman''

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' episode "The Hyena and the Mighty", Adam is trying to give a report on an oil spill and how it harmed wildlife, but the titular hyena's laughing and Jake's mockery of the situation do not make him happy. For frame of reference, Adam's report mentions that millions of animals died in the spill; but Jake is joining the hyena's laughter by mocking the animals for being dirty. Adam's expression is a good representation of this trope.

* In one scene in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', Chihiro is trying to refill a bathing vat for the stink-spirit and having an ''very'' hard time doing so (which is hardly a surprise). Yubaba, who is watching from a balcony, can't help but laugh a little, but the toad-like bathhouse worker next to her who's also watching comments that he does ''not'' think it's very funny.

* At the beginning of ''Film/StarTrekGenerations,'' the officers are having a promotion party for Worf on the holodeck, where they're on an 18th-century naval ship. They make Worf walk to the end of the plank and jump for his new rank insignia, then Riker orders the computer to "remove the plank." The plank disappears, dropping Worf into the sea, and Riker jokes that he meant to say, "retract". After Crusher attempts to explain the humor to Data, he pushes her overboard.

* In one scene from Creator/StephenKing's novel ''{{Christine}}'', a bunch of high school hoods are cruising and drinking beers after a school basketball game, and complaining that their team lost. At one point, one of the hoods complements the athleticism of the school's basketball star (in one of those "The rest of the team sucks, but this one guy is a good player" sorts of ways), who just happens to be black. The leader of the gang sneers, retorting, "I hate that fucking spade." This prompts one of the newer gang members to make a racial joke, to which the rest of the gang reacts with this. Specifically, the gang leader says, "I said I hated ''that'' spade. I got no problem with the rest of them..." and threatens to toss the "fucking bigot" out of his car at high speed. The new guy shuts up quickly.

* ''TheTalk'' did a discussion about [[http://www.ocregister.com/articles/penis-308294-gelman-victim.html Cathrine Becker]] and how she drugged her husband, cut off his penis and threw it down the garbage disposal all because he wanted a divorce. The Talk's host women, especially Sharron Osborne, found it "fabulous" and couldn't stop laughing to the mutilation of this man. A lot of people did not find this funny. [[http://www.manwomanmyth.com/men/how-did-those-men-respond-to-laughter-at-a-severed-penis/ This article says what the men ''would'' have done in an ideal world]]. [[DoubleStandard As opposed to this one]].
** They even apologized for laughing about it in the next weeks episode. However due to the fact they still couldn't stop laughing about it and only apologized for Osbourne's actions (who took several minutes to stop laughing to say this with a straight face), this did not help their case.

* In ''Film/TheHobbit'', Kili joked about orcs to a nervous Bilbo. Thorin immediately sternly lectures him on taking the matter so lightly. It's understandable why Thorin doesn't think it's something to be joked about because orcs had overrun the dwarf kingdom Moria and killed many dwarves, including Thorin's grandfather, which Thorin had witnessed firsthand.
