* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': The Bros.’s uncles make fun of the [[StylisticSuck poorly-made commercial]] they made for their recently-established plumbing business during the family dinner, as well as using coordinated outfits and white work gloves as a trademark. Then the Bros.’s father then tells Mario he's nuts for leaving a “cushy job” (despite the job in question having been toxic due to a BadBoss) for his “crazy dream” and is dragging Luigi down with him, making Mario insulted enough to storm off from the table. The uncles proceed to give the father {{Disapproving Look}}s along with the rest of the family, showing that even ''they'' knew he went too far with his insensitive comments.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'':

Whether someone is a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} weirdo]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards villain]], pervert, {{jerkass}}, geek, or just ''way'' too nice, deviant from the customs of "normal" society -- one often finds that those things can only go so far. These characters find that when they're in a situation where they would cross a certain line, they don't do it. Or they get disgusted at those who ''do'' cross that line.

** Earlier, when Frollo's philosophy begins to extend to anyone who even ''might'' have the suspicion of harboring gypsies, the citizens begin to become fearful. When the judge burns down a poor miller's home while his children inside just because the family has offered lodging to gypsies before, they outright turn on him and say "Frollo's gone ''mad!''"

->"There are very few principles I have in life. One of them is I don't [[KickTheDog kick dogs]], and the other one is I don't [[WouldntHitAGirl slap women]] in movies."

* Most of the population of Paris were quick to [[ProducePelting abuse]] Quasimodo in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', but they stop when Esmeralda calls Frollo out for his cruelty. Even they were horrified when Judge Frollo ordered Esmeralda to be burned at stake and was willing to burn down all of Paris just to [[{{Yandere}} make her his]].

* Most of the population of Paris were quick to bully and attempt to flog Quasimodo in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', but even they were horrified when Judge Frollo ordered Esmeralda to be burned at stake.

** Earlier, when Frollo's KillEmAll philosophy begins to extend to anyone who even ''might'' have the suspicion of harboring gypsies, the citizens begin to become fearful.

* In ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'', Sweeney goes JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope at the end of Act One and develops a KillEmAll philosophy, saying that he'll slaughter the upper classes for their exploitation of the poor and the lower classes to put them out of their misery. We see that philosophy in action in "Johanna Quartet," where he kills random patrons of his barber shop without a second thought. However, when a man comes in with his young daughter, Sweeney lets him live--he can't bring himself to kill a father (especially because he desperately misses Johanna, his own child).

* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: Something is considered too {{nerd}}y even by other nerds.

* AboveTheInfluence: No matter how desperately they want to knock boots with this person, they would never take advantage of their crush if the person was in a vulnerable state (such as being inebriated).

* DudeNotFunny: Even in works of BlackComedy, jokes about some subjects are considered to be in bad taste, or at least the more distasteful the more demanding the standards of quality and wit to distinguish from mere shock and vulgarity.
