** Piccolo himself has a moment during the Cell Saga when he gives Goku a WhatTheHellHero speech over his decision to throw Gohan into battle with Cell, pointing out that Gohan doesn't share Goku's BloodKnight attitude and is JustAKid, while Piccolo himself did just that during the Saiyan Saga, putting Gohan through TrainingFromHell for a year and angrily chewing him out for failing to follow through with a team attack on Nappa, whereas Krillin had to point out to Piccolo that Gohan was only five, had never been in a real battle before then, and shouldn't even be fighting in the first place. Nonetheless, Piccolo makes a ''very'' valid point, especially since Goku [[PoorCommunicationKills never once bothered to tell anyone about his plan to beat Cell until the minute he throws Gohan into the ring]]. Gohan may have been the only one strong enough to beat Cell, but he isn't mentally ready for the responsibility, doesn't even want to fight in the first place, and finds no pleasure in being beaten senseless by Cell while his father simply stands there and watches it happen; Goku immediately has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.

* ''Manga/MiraiNikki'': Despite having been forced to kill people in self-defense, Yuki is horrified by [[{{Yandere}} Yuno's]] murderous nature.

Even so, Yuki is as scared of Yuno as anyone else in the setting and is rightly disturbed by Yuno's [[AxCrazy tendency to kill people when it's not nessecary to their survival.]]

* Played with in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "No Second Prances" Twilight Sparkle encourages her ex-[[BigBad bad guy]]-turned-student Starlight Glimmer to make a new friend, but quickly backpedals on it when Starlight ends up befriending the rather sketchy [[JerkAss Trixie]], who Twilight has a rocky history with. Twilight is naturally worried that Starlight will fall prey to ToxicFriendInfluence and she has a point, except she was perfectly willing to [[EasilyForgiven easily forgive]] Starlight Glimmer for far worse crimes beyond what Trixie ever did, and even told Starlight that all Friendships are important to talk her into a HeelFaceTurn, but she is still very distrustful and begrudging of Trixie. Starlight even [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out on this]]. Twilight is proven to be correct to an extent when Trixie [[OpenMouthInsertFoot inadvertantly reveals]] that she only became friends with Starlight just to show Twilight up, causing her friendship with Starlight to break apart, causing a heartbroken Trixie (who really did want to be Starlight's friend) to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realize how badly she messed up]]. Twilight herself also realizes her own hypocrisy and aspires to make things up between the three of them.

If there's anything people agree on, it's that being a {{Hypocrite}} is bad. The most negative of spotlights are trained on those who do not practice what they preach. A StrawHypocrite is very easy to create and remains a common choice of antagonist, particularly in an AuthorTract. If someone is a hypocrite, they are assumed to be rightly contemptible and completely wrong.

If only things were that simple.

Even if a person is a hypocrite, they can still be right about something. If Bob TheAlcoholic criticizes Tom for [[DrowningMySorrows drinking away his pain,]] he still raises the point that Tom could find a better way of solving his issues. If high school dropout Alice chastises Sammy for failing college, she could then say that Sammy shouldn't lose sight of her future.

Also see HypocrisyNod. This trope may also be related to NotSoDifferent and BrutalHonesty.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': In the dub, Yami Yugi criticizes [[FillerVillain Johnny Steps]] for not coming up with a valid theme for his deck. Although Yami himself uses many different monster types in his deck, Johnny is indeed focused more on the aesthetics of his cards and forfeits the match shortly after Yami destroys his flagship monster.
