* ''Series/MarcoPolo'' this is the opening hook. The very first scene is Marco's Dad finally arriving home after many many years away. Almost the very next thing is Marco's Dad deciding to go on another trip to China, and telling teenage Marco he can't come. Marco stows away on the ship. Dad once again tries to get Marco back home when the priests get cold feet and want to leave, but he switches clothes with one of the guides and stays.[[spoilers: the irony is that when he's in China, he finds out that his Dad is an asshole and ends up basically causing his death]].

* ''WesternAnimation/CiaoAlberto'': Since working and living with Massimo, Alberto shows a willing attitude to help him with the business, only for him to make mistake after mistake by trying too hard to show Massimo that he's a good "employee".

* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': Of a darker turn. One of the corpo grunts shoots an unarmed civilian who might, if you squint, have been acting in a threatening manner. Despite the blatant corruption and lack of respect the corpos have for the locals, the sergeant immediately confiscates his weapon and orders him to retrieve the shuttle, which will get him out of the area quickly. His tone makes it clear that they are going to have a talk about this later.

* ''Series/AdamTwelve'': One of television's trope codifiers. During the first season and a half, this describes Officer James Reed, one of the top recruits from the Los Angeles Police Academy. He had an outstanding tour of duty during his academy days riding along with various officers and learning the ropes, but now it's for real and he's got a lot to learn. He'd sometimes act before he thought. More than once he wanted to become involved in a murder investigation but had to be reigned in. Sometimes, he'd speak up when his opinion wasn't necessarily wanted. By the time January 1970 – midway through Season 2 – rolled around, Reed had largely put that raw eagerness behind him and he was becoming a seasoned officer, and late in the run, as a training officer he'd have to deal with several young cadets of his own.
