** Ahzek Ahriman casts the Rubric of Ahriman, a powerful spell to permanently save himself and the rest of the Thousand Sons legion from the Flesh Change, the Flesh Change being a horrible genetic condition that causes a bad case of [[BodyHorror rapid and violent mutations]] in those affected. It works a little too well and all the legionaries have been turned to dust, and by proxy have been cured by having no flesh to change in the first place. Ahriman is now on a quest to find the Black Library, which contains the [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow forbidden knowledge]] there that will allow him to reverse this. Let's just say that Ahriman learned to {{Be Careful What You Wish For}}, especially when his boss is a [[GodofEvil malevolent god of change and trickery]] who probably contributed to the end result for shits and giggles.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', [[DiabolicalMastermind Megamind]] sets out to create himself a new SuperHero ArchEnemy, giving [[FlyingBrick Metro Man's]] powers to another character and then, when this less-than-heroic superhero is not so keen to fight, provoking him by insulting him in various ways. While the "creating a hero" part GoesHorriblyWrong, the "creating an enemy" part works all right -- only this time, the invincible guy after Megamind [[EvilerThanThou is not going to settle]] for just putting him in the CardboardPrison.

A SubTrope of LiteralGenie, putting it in the scientific category as opposed to BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor, which is when what the character wanted falls in their lap through coincidence or magic rather than their own planning and hard work. A Supertrope to TheGenieInTheMachine, where the machine does ''exactly'' what you told it to. Since {{Love Potion}}s never work, any one that "works as intended" will usually end up in this category. Often overlaps with DangerousForbiddenTechnique. Compare SpringtimeForHitler, WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong, NiceJobBreakingItHero, HoistByHisOwnPetard. DidntThinkThisThrough often follows the realization of this trope. May become a GameBreaker. A form of {{invisibility|Cloak}} that the creators now can't find because it's invisible could be considered UselessUsefulStealth. Sometimes goes hand in hand with ALessonLearnedTooWell.

* In ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf: Joys of Seasons'' episode 96, Wolffy is separated from his wife Wolnie when she gets sick with the flu and has to be quarantined. Wolffy, not happy with this prospect, seeks to make himself sick to be with his sweetheart, and finally falls ill after consuming a virus of his own creation. Problem is, by the time he's made it into quarantine, Wolnie has already recovered, meaning the two are still separated.

** Calvin didn't want to clean his room, so he made an identical clone of himself and ordered the clone to clean his room. Naturally, the clone didn't want to clean Calvin's room either, so he ran off to cause mischief, knowing the original Calvin would be blamed. Later in the story, Calvin's clone gets a hold of the duplicator and starts cloning himself, with [[HilarityEnsues predictable results]].

* ''WesternAnimation/AstroBoy'': The President wants to put the evil red orb inside the war machine to make it more aggressive and violent. Well, it ''worked''...

* In ''WebOriginal/ElfslayerChronicles'', the DM established that in her world, HumansAreBastards and you CantArgueWithElves. This backfired on her when a player annoyed by the elf posturing decided that his character, a human, would ''not'' be an exception to the rule and therefore [[OffTheRails have no reason to play along with the DM's plot of helping the elves]]. Oh, and he would also be a total MagnificentBastard who used the elements the DM introduced to turn the campaign into a XanatosGambit of getting away with sabotaging the party's mission via murdering the guy who they were supposed to escort back home to stop a war.

* During ''[[WebVideo/YogscastMinecraftSeries Cornerstone]]'', Smiffy of LetsPlay/HatFilms attempts to troll LetsPlay/{{Sjin}}, LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} and LetsPlay/HannahRutherford by posing as a Creeper. They panic and then kill him.
