E) A character tries to warn another character of something several times, but they don't listen. Then, when that thing happens, Person B turns to Person A and says, " Why didn't you tell me?"

Sounds hilarious already, doesn't it?

* Mr. Whipple in the Charmin commercials. He spends half a minute warning women not to squeeze the Charmin. Then later on, he is seen squeezing said Charmin himself.
* Kotex ads feature a woman talking sarcastically about how other tampon commercials are helpful, while proving them to be just the opposite.
--> '''Woman''': And they use that blue liquid stuff so I'm like, 'Oh, that's what it's supposed to look like.'

* In ''Goldfish Warning'' episode 9, Wapiko protests the school dresscode of mandatory school uniform while wearing a school uniform. She's one of the few students who was already coming to school in uniform every day.
* From ''Anime/CodeGeass'':
--> '''Rivalz''': I've had it with your {{emo}} routine!
--> '''Suzaku''': Wha- {{emo}}?
--> '''Rivalz''', ''(five minutes later)'': [[{{Wangst}} Gaah!]] '''''[[{{Wangst}} MY LIFE IS OVER]]''''' [[{{Wangst}} and he's worried about dinner?!]]
* [[MadScientist Mayuri Kurotsuchi]] [[JerkAss deliberately]] {{invoke|dTrope}}s this in [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v34/c303/11.html Chapter 303]] (Episode 198) of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' by calling Ishida a ''fiend'' (or reprobate, or heathen, or whatever the translation is) after revealing that he had been violating his privacy for quite some time.
** Earlier than that, in [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v26/c229/20.html Chapter 229]] (Episode 138), Yumichika and Rangiku complain about their respective Zanpakutō's personalities being infuriating. Yumichika hates that Fuji Kujaku is a narcissist (and Rangiku lampshades it by pointing out that they're the same), and Rangiku hates that Haineko is "selfish, moody, lazy, and stupid" (and Yumichika lampshades it).
* Much of the humor in ''Manga/TheTyrantFallsInLove'' comes from Souichi loudly proclaiming that he would love nothing more than to see all homosexuals drop dead and definitely isn't one of those homos himself...to Morinaga, his gay [[SempaiKohai kohai]] who's openly smitten with him. The real hypocrisy in all this? Souichi has let Morinaga ''have sex with him'' multiple times, despite [[ArmorPiercingSlap ample evidence]] that he could easily leave Morinaga a bloody heap on the ground before getting that far with him. The very fact that Souichi, a violent homophobe, hasn't killed, run away from, or even tried to straighten out Morinaga speaks volumes by itself, and that's ''before'' you consider his open declaration that he can [[IfItsYouItsOkay tolerate sex only with Morinaga]]...
* ''Manga/DeathNote'':
** There's a scene where Light's sister, Sayu, catches him reading a dirty magazine (it's a long story...) and Sayu says, "Hey, isn't that a dirty book?" Then, she [[HoYay picks it up and begins reading it, while smiling.]]
** Any scene like this:
--> '''[[MagnificentBastard Light]]''': ''(shaking fist)'' Damn, damn you [[SecretIdentity Kira!]] You bastard!
** Also: "I'm evil? IllKillYou!"
** And:
--> '''L''': I hate it when people's cellphones go off when I'm talking. I find it very distracting... ''(ring)'' Excuse me, I have to get this.
** [[StalkingIsLove "Mr. Stalker?"]] (says Misa a.k.a. the creepy stalker girl.) It should be noted, however, that in this case she had no memory of using the Death Note, and as such no memory of stalking; as a well-known model, however, she is subject to being targeted by stalkers.
** "Exploiting another person's feelings like that is unforgivable!" - Light the ManipulativeBastard, though like the above example he lacked his memories of being Kira, so he had his morals straight when he said it. Though that may only make it more ironic...
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** In chapter 347, Konohamaru performs a variation of the Sexy Jutsu with two naked girls holding each other suggestively. Sakura punches Konohamaru for being a pervert and after Naruto tries to explain that it would serve as a distraction, she says "You're the only idiots who'd fall for a jutsu like that!". Konohamaru then decides to try the same jutsu again, but this time with shadow clones of [[{{Bishonen}} Sai and Sasuke]]. [[YaoiFangirl Guess Sakura's reaction.]] Unfortunately, this was made instantly uncomfortable when the [[UnfortunateImplications later part of this scene]] [[DoubleStandard wasn't in the anime.]]
** There is another incident soon after Sai joins Team 7. When he insults Naruto, Naruto picks up a fight with him. Sakura lectures Naruto about importance of teamwork and asks him to ignore Sai's comments. A moment later, Sai insults Sakura. Guess what follows.
** Another one is when Suigetsu comments that he's the only normal member of Taka- right before going on a rant about how he's compelled to cut things apart.
* In the second chapter of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' [[HighSchoolAU Guren Gakuenhen]], Yoko goes ballistic on Simon because Nia is in his room "...wearing such exposing clothes..." (a long sleeved shirt). Yoko is wearing [[{{Stripperiffic}} her usual attire]].
** This happens in the main series, too. During the BeachEpisode, Yoko is complaining about wearing a bikini. Never mind the fact that Yoko wears ''more'' with the bikini than with her normal clothes (Bikini top and short shorts).
* ''Manga/OnePiece''--
** In an early episode, Buggy the Clown shows that his Devil Fruit power makes him a "Splitting Man". Luffy says that Buggy is a freak...and then an arrow points to him that says "RubberMan".
** Luffy does this quite often due to his naïveté/obtuseness - One such example is where Kidd and Law demonstrated their magnetic and space-warping powers respectively, while Luffy showed off Gear Third, and a post-Gear Third shrunken Luffy remarked that the other two have weird powers.
** Also, when Garp reprimands Luffy for falling asleep during a lecture--right after falling asleep during his own lecture.
** Zoro has done this several times with the running gag of commenting how his crewmates have gotten lost, when he himself has the worst sense of direction.
** Absalom's devil fruit ability of invisibility is used to peep at and molest a bathing Nami. Sanji's fury at him burns even hotter, however, because Absalom possessing that ability means ''Sanji can't get that ability to do the same peeping'' which he had dreamed of since youth! The stupefied zombie priest presiding exclaims "You're one to talk!" at both of them several times as they accuse one another of perversity.
** On the subject of Thriller Bark, Oars said the Straw Hats were like demons at one point. Considering how absurdly powerful they are, and how ruthless they can be, it wouldn't be all that surprising...if it didn't come from someone who looks like [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v49/c473/6.html this.]]
** Genzo complaining the fact that Nami is in a two piece on her wanted poster, which he says will attract more perverts than bounty hunters, despite the fact he has an enlarged one covering the wall in his house.
** [[ImplacableMan Admiral]] [[NighInvulnerability Kizaru]] [[LightTheWay calling]] the supernovas "Scary Monsters".
** In one of the most recent chapters, we have Monet, [[TheDragon Dragon]] to the arc's BigBad, who has a tendency to call people cold. One example is directed at Zoro when he just sits back and lets [[spoiler:Tashigi]] fight her alone. And with the personalities of the others she gave that name to, there's only one reason it's hypocritical: Monet [[AnIcePerson ate the Snow-Snow Fruit]].
* While watching a news report on a rogue Anaconda, ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'''s Nagi Sanzenin remarks, "I don't know why people keep such large and dangerous animals as pets"... while petting her large and dangerous pet tiger.
* In ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'', George starts lecturing Chibodee about the irresponsibility of keeping a bottle of whisky in the cockpit of his Gundam and finishes by GivingHimThePointerFinger... with a bottle of champagne. Chibodee points this out immediately and they both start laughing.
* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' has a scene in which [[SexyPriest Father Remington]] makes a comment that members of the mob should "behave themselves"--while looking over his shoulder to flirt with some smitten teenage nuns. Sister Kate ''immediately'' calls him out on it by saying "You should, too!"
* Inami of ''Manga/{{Working}}'' DoesNotLikeMen because she thinks they're violent and carry dangerous weapons-- the same character, who later shows that she's the show's main source of violence comedy, says this while hiding behind Yachiyo, who's been carrying a katana since she was in grade school.
* Cisqua from ''Manga/ElementalGelade'' helps bring down a gladiator ring / betting parlor, and also helps free a large amount of enslaved Edel Raids, and gets a huge sum of money as a reward. She yells at Coud for throwing his last match, thus proving that she was exploiting Edel Raids for personal gain, a big no-no in Arc Aile. [[RightBehindMe With the dispatcher right behind her]]. He confiscates the reward money.
* In ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'', Mr. Bo-Jiggler (a fusion of [=Bo-BoBo=] and Jelly Jiggler) spends his entire fight talking about the importance of peace and how he hates fighting, all the while brutally beating up his enemies.
* From ''Manga/LuckyStar'', Kagami teases Konata and Tsukasa for doing something so cliche and childish as talking into a fan (to hear their voices distorted.) Their dad, working nearby, informs everyone that Kagami is no exception.
* In the dub of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', Gatomon complains about one of her henchmen: "What's that big-eared freak trying to do?". This coming from the cat Digimon with the huge ears, though to be fair she was talking about the appropriately named Mammothmon.
* In ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', Ranka Lee enters the [[BeautyContest Miss Macross competition]] and suffers a case of ACupAngst as several other contestants bully their way past her with copious amounts of {{Gainaxing}}. Ranka's best friend Nanase tries to reassure her by telling her that size doesn't matter and cue Nanase's own {{Gainaxing}} because she's ''the most well-endowed woman on the entire show''. More so than those contestants even.
* Keima in ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'' does this on occasion. For example, claiming during the Sumire arc that he doesn't care for indiscriminate enthusiasts while surrounded by a mountain of eroges, or during the Yui arc claiming it's troublesome if Yui stands out by not acting like him while buying ''more'' eroges [[spoiler: when he's supposed to be acting like ''Yui'']].
* Early in the manga of ''VideoGame/SakuraTaisen'', Sumire comes across Iris and Sakura listening at General Yoneda's door as Ogami, who doesn't yet know about their special mission, yells at him about the need to take action. Sumire says, "Oh, you're eavesdropping. Please ... you two have some of the most distasteful little hobbies. It's quite shocking!" Then she puts ''her'' ear to the door and asks the other two, "Who is it?"
* At the pool in ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'', Fuuka pushes Jumbo in after he makes unflattering remarks about her. When he struggles, she points out to Koiwai that he can't swim. Koiwai replies that there's nothing wrong with it, so Fuuka pushes him in and learns he can't swim either. As she's laughing, Yotsuba pushes ''her'' in...
-->'''Koiwai:''' So. You can't swim, either.
-->'''Fuuka:''' Right. I'm sorry.
* Tomo in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' will always make a huge deal out of it any time someone makes a mistake or gets an answer wrong, taunting them to no end. However she herself is so stupid and ignorant that everyone else has long given up trying to convince her that she had ever been wrong about anything. In one Christmas episode, she never shuts up about ridiculing the facts that some of her friends believe that [[IfJesusThenAliens reindeer exist]].
* From episode 18 of ''Anime/StarDriver''. When Takuto finds an old photo album, which contains a picture of Wakko and Keito playing idol, Keito calls Wakko childish for still wanting to be an idol. One GilliganCut later, we find Keito singing a peppy little J-pop song, alone, at a karaoke bar. And Takuto just happened to [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown be delivering a drink to the room she's in]]
* In the CookingDuel of ''Anime/MaiHime'', Nao mocks Natsuki for being stupid because she is unable to properly break an egg, and then fails to break one herself.
* In ''Anime/PuniPuniPoemi'':
-->'''Poemi:''' What was that, you afro bastard?
-->''''Producer':''' Hey, watch your fucking language!
* America in the ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia 2011'' Bloodbath:
--> "Can't you guys be less noisy at other peoples' houses?"
** Germany in the dub: "Stereotypes are for brainless dummkopfs." Considering that the entire show is built on mocking stereotypes ...
* Ritsuko in the anime version of ''[[Anime/TheIdolmaster THE iDOLM@STER]]'' tell the girls to fight off the heat with their minds, while she is with both feet inside a bucket full of water.
* Subverted in ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''. It first seems laughably absurd that Shizuo Heiwajima, a man with the well-earned title of "Ikebukuro's God of Destruction", would claim to absolutely ''hate'' violence. However, it later becomes clear that Shizuo's own inclinations towards violence (which is implied to be the product of a rage disorder that he feels utterly helpless in managing) and the way it's destroyed his life is the very reason he hates it.
* Commonly used in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys''.
** The intro to Episode 1 showed a LateForSchool scene for the main trio--Tadakuni, Yoshitake and Hidenori. Tadakuni was eating toast per this trope's tradition, and then he saw Yoshitake eating ''curry'', and then Hidenori opined Yoshitake should have eaten toast--despite eating ''noodles'' himself.
*** The anime's BookEnds segment doubles this up, by having Yoshitake and Hidenori taking ''Brazilian barbecue'' and ''fondue'' respectively, while keeping Hidenori's line.
** In ''High School Boys and ThePowerOfFriendship'', Hidenori denied stealing Mei's lingerie while wearing her bra.
** In ''High School Boys and [[SchoolFestival Culture Festival]] (3)'', Ikushima ''put on the air'' about boys liking to put on the air. Her DistaffCounterpart Yoshitake is GenreSavvy enough to keep himself slient.
** In ''High School Boys and Assertiveness'', the Literature Girl commented it's shameless for a girl to flirt a guy in the open. Takahiro reminded that by the time everybody knew she chased down Hidenori (who studies in another school) to the next town, in ''High School Boys and Run''.
* In the BeachEpisode of ''[[VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Rei]]'', when Mion, Rika, Rena, and Satoko see Takano in a bikini, one comments that her breasts were huge. Mion then says that there should be a law against women with large breasts. This coming from the girl who often does a MarshmallowHell on Keichi.
* In ''Manga/SailorMoon'', [[GenkiGirl Minako Aino]] spends a whole episode [[YourCheatingHeart going out on dates with two men.]] When it turns out [[spoiler: they were two members of the QuirkyMinibossSquad in disguise ''and'' they knew it all along but pretended not to so they could capture her]], Minako tells them "H-how dare you lie to me?!". [[LampshadeHanging They promptly say that she has no right to say that.]]
* From the second season of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', Vita chastises Nanoha for bringing a weapon while trying to negotiate, after she beat the crap out of Nanoha in their first encounter.
--> '''Vita:''' You know, we have a saying in Velka. "If you're an emissary of peace, don't carry a spear." Even though you say you want to talk, you come armed, ''idiot''!
--> '''Nanoha:''' ...The girl who came at me fighting without even a warning is saying that to me?!
--> '''Zafira:''' And that's not a saying. [[OrphanedPunchline It's the punch line to a joke.]]
--> '''Vita:''' Shut up! Who cares about those minor details!
* One of the extra panels for ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' features Hiromu Arakawa's cow avatar telling the reader to not spend all their time reading manga. Edward Elric [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou punches her]] because he "doesn't wanna hear that from someone who draws manga for a living".
* One of the early ''{{Franchise/Anpanman}}'' edutainment [=OVAs=] involves Tendonman getting upset because his friends are taking an afternoon nap, and won't play with him when he wants to. He sees the naps as a worthless waste of time. After failing to wake them up, he's forced to wait for them to wake up, getting bored fairly quickly. Finally, when they wake up, and he's ready to play...he ends up falling asleep mid-game, his energy completely drained from waiting, and now his friends end up playing without him.
* Benny in ''Manga/BlackLagoon''.
-->"It's dangerous to [answer the phone] while driving, so let's do it at the hotel."
-->-- '''Benny''', ''while driving and [[spoiler: having sex]].''
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': In the ''Best Wishes'' arc, Cilan's rival Burgundy makes a comment to the effect of Trip being a SoreLoser because of his [[SmallNameBigEgo ego]]. This coming from the girl who spends the rest of that tournament in a bitter bad mood because she'd lost. There's also a bit of a duel with this trope between her and [[VitriolicBestBuds Iris's rival Georgia]] (who also has this as pretty much the basis of her rivalry with Iris).
* ''Manga/MutekiKanbanMusume'': All the core cast is guilty: a character criticizes another character for some fault that is an established part of their own characterization, or just before or after exhibiting that particular fault themselves. There is almost always an immediate lampshading:
--> '''Miki:''' ''Joining in the middle of the game, trying to influence the outcome… ThisIsUnforgivable.''
--> '''Junior baseball players:''' ''Didn’t you just do that too?''
* Munakata Kei of ''Manga/MedakaBox'' has an unfortunate compulsion to kill anything at the slightest provocation with something akin to TranquilFury. In his introduction he claims he would never kill without a reason and gets offended when someone accuses him as such. He then goes into a list of reasons he would want to kill someone with one of the reasons being ''no reason at all.''
* In ''Anime/TamakoMarket'', Anko demands that others refer to her as "An"... while [[ThirdPersonPerson referring to herself as "Anko"]] in the same sentence. Her father [[LampshadeHanging calls her out on this]], while the TalkingBird's compliance with her request actually causes her to freak out.
* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', a less humorous example happens when Sayaka refuses to work with [[spoiler:Homura in a previous timeline]], accusing her of being in league with "that Kyouko creep" and trying to cause strife among the group. Madoka then says "Sayaka-chan, what you're saying is causing actual strife." [[spoiler: When Sayaka turns into a witch, Kyoko was already in their team, and assuming to her reaction afterwards, both, Sayaka and Kyoko, ''were'' friends at that time.]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* In the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse:
** Creator/CarlBarks's comic story "Only a Poor Old Man" had Uncle Scrooge lecturing WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck on how he'd be more secure if he had wealth. While making sure a mouse didn't eat his dollar bills.
** DonRosa's "Gyro's First Invention" has Scrooge lecturing Gyro Gearloose on the dangers of overvaluing his first invention: "What sentimental rubbish is that?! You can't base your whole career on such a small achievement! You won't get far in life with such a warped sense of proportions!" -- all while carefully restoring his NumberOneDime to its pedestal.
** That's a recurring joke, too. In another Don Rosa comic ("The Treasury of Croesus"), Scrooge uncovers the money bin of king Croesus, who had left a room for his first coin. A historian comments: "Who would have guessed someone would be crazy enough to consider a single coin his greatest treasure?" Scrooge isn't amused.
** Another Don Rosa's story features the running gag of the three nephews complaining that everyone but Donald consider them identical in looks and actions... While saying the very same words and making the same actions at the same time. To be fair, there ''are'' some differences, but they are so tiny that only they themselves and Donald (who in the story is revealed to have a very good sight and a near-impossible ability to check for details) can see them.
* In an early issue of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'', [[TheFlash Impulse]], who acts without forethought ''or'' afterthought ''100% of the time'', said "Boy, don't you hate it when people go off and do whatever they feel like?" after {{Superboy}} headed out to confront a villain alone.
* In an early issue of ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational'', in a discussion of [[Franchise/GreenLantern Guy Gardner]]:
--> '''BlueBeetle''': ...You think maybe it's too late to petition for a new Green Lantern? Hey Bats -- maybe ''you'' could wear the ring...
--> '''Franchise/{{Batman}}''': It would only get in my way.
--> '''Blue Beetle''': ...Yeah... besides, who'd ever buy a Super-Hero called the "Green Batman"? I mean, that's as bad as--
--> '''Batman''': The '''''Blue Beetle'''''?
--> '''Blue Beetle''': Well... um... ah...
* Early on in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' Rorschach, shown as the biggest wingnut of the lot, laments the sad mental condition of his former retired superhero colleagues.
* One ''Les Pretend'' strip in ''TheBeano'' had Les's dad discussing the daft things Les pretended to be with his friends, and them all laughing about it. It was at the end of this strip that we first learnt Les's dad and his friends are all {{Elvis Impersonator}}s.
* In ''Comicbook/{{Asterix}} and the Normans'', Asterix and Obelix are ordered by Chief Vitalstatistix to see what a group of Norman invaders are doing in Gaul. On their return, Obelix reports to the chief that the Normans all "had such funny names, [[ThemeNaming all ending in -af]], like [[PunnyName Nescaf, Decaf and Autograf]]!" Vitalstatistix is highly amused, and says to the other Gaulish villagers: "Ha ha! Did you hear that, Cacofonix, Geriatrix, Operatix, Acoustix, Polyphonix and Harmonix?"
* While [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] and {{Lois|Lane}} were debating how to explain his absence during [[DeathIsCheap his death]] (don't ask, long story), Clark suggested several [[ClarkKenting extremely stupid]] explanations, including rip tides and alien abductions. When Lois asked him what idiots would buy such pathetic excuses, he said: "You did".
** The scene in ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', when Clark leapt off a building (he was depowered at the time, which is ''another'' long story) to get an interview with a new superhero. Lois wasn't happy about it. Clark [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] that she used to do the same thing and could "write the book on it".
* In an issue of ''Comicbook/GlobalFrequency'' a man claiming to be a magician (as in a proper one) is brought in, and claims that magic is a 'psychological discipline'. One of the people he's working with, a parapsychologist, makes a sneering comment about this. The magician is amused by the parapsychologist's superiority, pointing out that it's not as if her field is part of the rational orthodoxy. The parapsychologist is less amused by this.
* Occurs fairly frequently in ''Webcomic/DorkTower'', either when the characters are complaining about a behavior they also embody, or when they're LeaningOnTheFourthWall about John Kovalic's writing or art.
* In one panel of ''Comicbook/GothamCitySirens'', Batman makes a teeth-baringly horrific face while telling Riddler "You're not helping people by scaring them."
* In [[http://pics.livejournal.com/uadlika/pic/00075z0y an issue]] of ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', [[KidHero Misfit]] tells [[Comicbook/NewGods Big Barda]] she can't stand watching BlackCanary's adopted daughter. She goes on a rant about how little girls are annoying. Barda agrees with that statement.
* In ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'' comic book story (and AnimatedAdaptation) "King Smurf", the title character admonishes his captain of the guard Hefty Smurf for failing to have a sense of humor when dealing with Jokey playing one of his usual "surprise" jokes on him. Then after King Smurf pardons Jokey, he becomes the victim of Jokey's prank and immediately has the prankster sent to prison.
* A holiday special based on the ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' universe has comic book shop owners Steve-Dave and Walt head to the Quick-Stop because that's the only open store and Steve-Dave needs to pick up some scotch tape to wrap up some last-minute gifts. As he proceeds to berate Dante for charging what he feels is an outrageous price for the tape, another costumer recognizes him and asks if he has any issues of a new title that just came out, to which Steve-Dave replies that it'll cost him $20.
* In one ''SupermanBatman'' story, Superman and Batman get [[LetsYouAndHimFight forced into a fight]] with a superhero team called the Maximums. When it is revealed that the Maximums' Comicbook/IncredibleHulk {{Expy}} is a little girl in her true form, Batman is furious and yells, "[[WhatTheHellHero You brought a]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero child]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero into this conflict!?]]" Superman shoots Batman a look, knowing full well about Batman's many child sidekicks.

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Haruhi rants about how she hates it when light novels go beyond 10 novels, or when her manga and stories are ongoing in ''FanFic/KyonBigDamnHero''. In the source material, [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya Haruhi]], the author's at the 10th novel, and it's just the start of the characters' second year in high school. The author also takes the opportunity to prove, and launch a TakeThat against one of the theories in [[WMG/KyonBigDamnHero the WMG]]. Though, considering the prodigious length of the fic, it's entirely possible the rant was actually intended as self-depreciating humor.... And on closer examination, it seems Haruhi's only problem with series in [[WMG/KyonBigDamnHero the WMG]] is that she's not patient enough to wait for the next volume.
** Also, Taniguchi mentions how he finds [[LuckyStar Konata's]] voice creepy to Haruhi. Haruhi and Konata are both voiced by AyaHirano.
* The dreaded ''FanFic/MyImmortal'' has [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Ebony/Enoby/Evony]] claiming not only to be a YaoiFangirl, but to oppose homophobia. However, when she suspects Draco has cheated on her with Harry/Vampire, she promptly accuses him of having AIDS (or, as she spells it, "[=AIDs=]"). Also, she tries to insult uncomplimentary reviewers by calling them "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment gay fags]]".
** And as far as the AIDS accusation goes, she regularly drinks human blood.
* [[FanFic/ZeroShock "Can.]] [[TheStoic You.]] [[{{Tsundere}} Just. Stop. It.]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis With. The. One. Word. Sentences?"]]
* In ''FanFic/WinterWar'', Ise Nanao describes Aizen as "Something of a control obsessive. The sort of person who has to have everything exactly as planned, precisely as organised, every detail under their control... why are you looking at me like that?"
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", Rarity tells Applejack that it's rude to stare, then goes right back to her binoculars so she doesn't miss any part of Twilight and Fluttershy's first date. It's specifically noted in the narration that she's oblivious to the hypocrisy.
* In the ''Manga/DeathNote'' [[CrackPairing Mello/Light]] SlashFic "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6943231/1/Blonde_Ambitions Blonde Ambitions]]" [[StepfordSmiler Light]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Yagami]] a.k.a. [[YoungConqueror Kira]] [[AGodAmI the God of the New World]] tells Mello all about his [[{{Yandere}} ex-girlfriend]]:
-->'''Light:''' She's a model you know, and as a celebrity [[StepfordSmiler she had her persona to maintain. She always played cheerful and bubbly but she was, well, out of her freakin' mind...]] She was delusional! I could even tell her how much I despised her but she'd pretend not to hear. She had very selective hearing and she thought that [[ItsAllAboutMe the world revolved around her.]] I swear she must have imagined herself to be the heroine of some stupid bodice-ripper romance novel! She was selfish. She didn't care a thing about justice! Only her own happiness! Misa-Misa always got what she wanted and never took no for an answer.
* [[MrViceGuy Ensei]] once commented on [[MrViceGuy Adelle's]] {{Greed}}, right before going to the buffet to steal the next day's dinner in ''FanFic/TheTaintedGrimoire.''
* In the ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' story "Fanfic/NotQuiteHeroes", the humor is [[LampshadeHanging highlighted]] by [[DeadpanSnarker in-character mockery]]:
-->"Shego! How can you take this so calmly? The sanctity of my laboratory has been violated. My invention has been stolen. This is horrible," said Drakken. He waved his arms around as he ranted.\\
"So you mean, just like we always break into other peoples' labs and steal their inventions? Or is this different in some way I'm not seeing?" asked Shego curiously.\\
"It is different! It's different because... because this time it's happened to me," said Drakken.

* ''FanFic/TurnaboutStorm:''
** [=Titular=] ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' Phoenix does this when he and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight]] are talking about [[PosthumousCharacter the murder victim]] [[TheAce Ace Swift]].
-->'''Twilight:''' But with [''Ace's''] streak of success he gained a few skeptics, thinking that all his victories were a result of cheating and other dubious methods.
-->'''Phoenix:''' I'd probably think the same if I saw someone winning at everything they do. [[HypocrisyNod *cough*]]
** Pinkie Pie explodes in laughter after seeing Phoenix wear the [[PinkIsForSissies Equestrian Attorney Badge]], calling it the most ridiculously girly thing she's ever seen. You know... besides the [[PinkIsForGirls pink]] [[AllGirlsLikePonies pony]].
* From ''Fanfic/AllYouNeedIsLove'':
-->'''Light:''' [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude You are on the same wave length as cult fanatics and celebrities as far as naming children are concerned.]] You named [[spoiler: [[LukeYouAreMyFather my son…]]]] Duck…
-->'''Naomi:''' You named [[spoiler: your son]] curtain.
-->'''Light:''' Naomi, don't interrupt.
* From ''Fanfic/NoHoper'', a ''Manga/DeathNote'' and ''TheHouseOfNight'' crossover, there's this exchange between [[AGodAmI Light]] and his new [[CatsAreMean talking]] {{cat|sAreSnarkers}} {{Familiar}} when he's trying to think of a name for her:
-->'''[[spoiler: Cleo]]:''' I just think names are stupid. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny All you need to know is that you are a can-opener,]] and I am [[AGodAmI the Great-I-Am!]]
-->'''Light:''' Well, you deserve a name, you know, one that doesn't invoke cries of 'blasphemy'.
* In ''FanFic/ThatEpicPlan'' Light gets annoyed when Beyond gets to staring at himself in the bathroom mirror.
-->'''Light:''' Vanity is a mortal sin, you know.
-->'''Beyond:''' Is that so, ''[[AGodAmI god?]]''
* In ''[[Fanfic/{{Xenophilia}} The Xenophile's Guide to Equestria]]'', Twilight tells Princess Celestia that Applejack is talking about a pool on the outcome of Rainbow and Lero's friendship, and describes it as, "a terrible thing to do to a friend. As such I’ve put myself down for no more than three bits on the spread."
* In the story ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/38472/Fluffershy Fluffershy]], Rainbow Dash finds out that the rest of the Mane Six are watching a porn movie because Fluttershy is on the box cover and calls them perverts. Rarity points out that Rainbow just admitted to owning three copies of the same movie (VHS, DVD and Special Edition DVD).
* In ''FanFic/BrillianceTarnished'' Light makes disparaging comments about his sister for sleeping around when he's doing the same with Misa and L.
* In ''Fanfic/ThePrayerWarriors'' during "Battle with the Witches", while Michael is infiltrating [[HarryPotter Hogwarts]], he meets Ginny on the train and finds her "[[CovertPervert pretty hot]]", but forces those thoughts out of his mind. When she pats him on the back, he tenses up, enraged that she would touch a man out of wedlock.
* In ''Fanfic/ThoseWhoStandForNothingFallForAnything'' there's the instance where Light mocks B for being distrusting:
-->'''Light:''' I walk from one room to another with intent, hoping to find locked drawers and secrets. B had locked his bedroom door, which is to be expected from such a distrusting little shit. I found a spare set of keys in L's desk though, so it didn't do him much good to underestimate me. If I was B, I would have taken better precautions. I was excellent at chemistry and physics at school and dabbled in pyrotechnic devices.

* A classic version would be Chief Inspector Renault's "I am shocked, SHOCKED! to find gambling going on in this establishment!!" before pocketing his roulette winnings in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''; in this case the juxtaposition is used to illustrate how flimsy a justification there is for shutting down Rick's.
* MeanGirls has Regina George, who [[HollywoodPudgy gained weight]] told to "Watch where you're going, fatass!" by a very tall and fat girl.
* Takes a dark turn in ''Film/{{Crash}}'': Ludacris' character Anthony is insulted by the sight of a white woman clinging to her husband's arm as she passes him and his friend and proceeds to go on a brief rant about how, being surrounded by over-caffeinated white people and trigger-happy cops who will think the worst of them even though they don't appear the slightest bit intimidating, he and Peter should have more reason to be afraid than anyone else. Why aren't they? Peter replies that it could be because they have guns. Anthony agrees, and the two proceed to carjack the couple.
* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', where Wallace and Scott is waiting outside Knives school:
-->'''Wallace:'''I hate you. Even I would think twice before dating a 17-year old.
-->[...]
-->'''Knives:''' ''(upon learning that Wallace is gay)'' Do you want to know who in my class is gay?
-->'''Wallace:''' Yes. Does he wear glasses?
* ''Film/HarryPotter'',
** In a deleted scene from the first available on the DVD:
-->'''Hermione''': And ''what'', may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up on the final exam?\\
'''Ron''': Copy off you!\\
'''Hermione''': No you won't! Besides, according to Professor [=McGonagall=], we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.\\
'''Ron''': That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us!
** Professor [[PunnyName Umbridge]] is a living embodiment of this, in a disturbing sort of way..."here, write ([[spoiler: into your flesh]]) the phrase 'I Must Not Tell Lies' over and over while I spew a continuous stream of lies and misleading propaganda!"
* ''Film/AustinPowers'': Austin is collecting some of his things from a clerk, the clerk gives him a penis enlarger. Austin denies it is his and claims he would never need such a thing. "This sort of thing isn't my bag, baby!" The clerk then proceeds to hand him things like his receipt of purchase and a photograph of him endorsing the enlarger. And [[OverlyLongGag his writing the book on the subject]]: ''Swedish-Made Penis Enlarger Pumps and Me: This Sort of Thing ''Is'' My Bag, Baby, By Austin Powers''.
** ''Film/AustinPowers in Goldmember''. The eponymous villain is the Dutchman Johann "Goldmember" Van Der Smut.
-->'''Nigel Powers''': There are two kinds of people that I can't stand: People who are intolerant of other peoples' cultures... and the ''[[AcceptableTargets Dutch]]''.
* In ''MissPettigrewLivesForADay'', the frequently adulterous Delysia and another equally adulterous friend are complaining about the friend's fiancee breaking it off after only suspecting her of having an affair:
-->'''Delysia''': Men are so untrusting. I can't think why.
* A film version of ''Literature/OliverTwist'' has the Work House's owners stuffing their faces full of rich food while whining about how the poor people are so greedy, with their talk of wanting more than one bowl of porridge and a bit of dry bread! How dare they!
** Similar scenes (with varying degrees of subtlety) can be found in most media dealing with the rich-vs-poor dynamic.
* ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'': "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP3jA9UEwkE Cuddle? What a fag.]]"
* "[[Film/DrStrangelove Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!]]"
* In Hitchcock's ''Film/RearWindow'', Stella (Thelma Ritter) spends most of the film helping Jeff (Creator/JimmyStewart) and Lisa (Creator/GraceKelly) prove that neighbor Raymond Burr, who they've been snooping on from afar, has murdered his wife. In the film's penultimate scene, after a cop asks Ritter if she'll help them dig up the body, she replies: "No thanks, I don't want any part of her!" (This might also be a DoubleEntendre, since the implication is that the body has been dismembered and possibly decapitated.)
* ''Film/ThePresidentsAnalyst'': A self-described "liberal" character mentions that his next-door neighbors are "real right-wingers, American flag up every day. Real fascists. Ought to be gassed!"
* ''Film/DeathRace'': The warden of the prison (Joan Allen) has a guard beat JasonStatham's character for saying the word "ass." She does this because, for her, "language is an issue." Later in the film, she says the phrase, "Okay cocksucker. Fuck with me, and we'll see who shits on the sidewalk."
* Rather subtly used in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''. In the opening interview segments, each of the supers voiced opinions that they went on to contradict in the film itself:
** Mr Incredible expresses annoyance that "No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again," and says that he'd like to settle down and start a family. But when the SuperRegistrationAct is passed, Bob Parr has a harder time than anyone adjusting to civilian life, and is constantly itching to jump back into action.
** And, naturally, the inverse applies to his wife, Helen, aka Elastigirl, who said that she wasn't about to settle down and leave the saving the world to the men; she adjusts to everyday life quite nicely.
** This also applies nicely to Lucius Best, better known as Frozone. His (we can only assume) long-term marriage to the offscreen holy terror known as Honey seems to be the last thing his younger self would have gone for, if this quote is any indication:
---> "Super-ladies? They're always trying to tell you their secret identities (they think it'll strengthen the relationship.) I say 'Girl, I don't even wanna know about your mild-mannered alter-ego or anything like that.' I mean, if you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's just fine with me. I'm good... I'm good."
* ''Film/DuckSoup''. After [[MotorMouth rattling off jokes]] to Mrs. Teasdale:
-->'''Groucho''': You know you haven't stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle."
* Sally's to-do list, in ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'''s [[TheFilmOfTheBook Film Of The Book]]:
--> 1. make a to-do list;
--> 2. Practice colouring;
--> 3. Research graduate schools.
--> 4. be spontaneous...
** The Russian AnimatedAdaptation comes with this:
--> '''Cat''': And here we have a talking fish...
--> '''Fish''': Don't be idiots! Cats and fishes don't talk!
* ''Yellowbeard''. Tommy Chong does his best scenery chewing as "El Nebuloso", then says:
-->El Nebuloso: Anyone caught overacting, I will personally scare to death!
* ''[[Film/BobRoberts But they complain and complain and complain...]]''
* When Indy first meets Mutt in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'', he approves of Mutt's leaving school in order to find his own way in the world. Once he learns that [[LukeIAmYourFather Mutt is his son]], practically the first words out of his mouth are "You're going back to school!"
** Indy also raises an amused eyebrow when he learns [[MythologyGag Mutt chose to]] [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade name himself after a dog]]...
* In the Tony Hancock film ''Film/TheRebel'', Hancock has escaped from his office job to try and make it as an artist in Paris. He complains that everyone in his office dressed identically in pinstripe suits......to a group of identically dressed goth types who react with horror to the idea of a place where everyone dresses the same.
* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. Jack's crew steals the ''Pearl'' in the final battle. The event is witnessed by two pirates, Rigetti and Pintel.
-->'''Ragetti''': Our ship's sailing away! Is it supposed to be doing that?\\
'''Pintel''': They're stealing our ship!\\
'''Ragetti''': '''''...BLOODY PIRATES!'''''
* ''Film/OutCold'':
-->'''Luke''': Guys! A little sensitivity here. God! Can't you see this is a dejected man? Well, Rick get your dejected head out of your ass.
* A small (and possibly justified) one in ''Film/MaryPoppins''. Mrs. Banks comes home from a suffragette rally and sings a song about how the suffragettes are fighting against men for women's rights then immediately tells the maid to hide the sashes since Mr. Banks doesn't approve of them.
* ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'': "Don't you know I would never say the word fuck?! I would never fucking ever fucking say that! Ever!"
* WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck on WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': "This is the last time I work with someone with a thpeech impediment."
* Used to hilarious effect in the first ''Film/TheNakedGun'' movie. After Officer Nordberg (O.J. Simpson) narrowly survives an attempt on his life, Frank Drebin (LeslieNielsen) assures Nordberg's wife that the men responsible for the attack will be brought to justice.
-->'''Lt. Drebin''': Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will rest one minute until he's behind bars. (Turning, to his partner Ed) Now, let's grab a bite to eat.
* And in the second ''Film/TheNakedGun'' movie. Drebin and his boss Ed Hocken are making police inquiries in a sex shop:
-->'''Drebin''': We're looking for Hector Savage. Where is he?
-->'''Woman behind the counter''': Why should I tell you, copper?
-->'''Drebin''': Because I'm the last line of defense between sleaze like this and the decent people of this town.
-->'''Male shop assistant emerging from the stockroom''': Oh, hi, Frank. Say, we finally got that model D83 Swedish sure-grip suck machine that you ordered.
* ''Film/TheRoom'': "I cannot tell you, it's confidential. Anyway, [[LeftFielder how's your sex life?]]" As with everything else in this movie, it's very unclear if it was meant to be funny.
* ''Film/SisterAct'', when the three main nuns are having a midnight snack of ice cream in the kitchen with Mary Clarence.
-->'''Mary Clarence''': I know we shouldn't be doing this.
-->'''Mary Lazarus''': It's a sin, a wicked indulgence. ''(looks in the cartons in disappointment)'' Didn't they have any butter pecan?
* In the film of ''ThePrincessDiaries'' Clarice gives Mia a Genovian ornament. Mia says "don't worry, I will take good care of it"...exactly as she is haphazardly stuffing it into her school bag.
* In the movie ''BridgetJones's Diary'', Bridget has been receiving a series of flirty e-mail messages from her HandsomeLech boss Daniel Cleaver talking about her skirt, and she replies by pretending to take offense. Daniel sends her one final message:
-->Mortified to have caused offense. Will avoid all non-P.C. overtones in future. Deeply apologetic.\\
P.S. Like your tits in that top.
* In the first ''Film/WaynesWorld'', the two main characters say that it's wrong to [[ProductPlacement sell out]]...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjB6r-HDDI0 while eating Pizza Hut pizza, Doritos, and covered in Reebok clothes.]]
* In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' the film proper (after the prologue) introduces us to Indiana as a college professor. Every bit of his lecture to the college class is contradicted later in his search for the grail. "Maps never lead to buried treasure, x never marks the spot."
* In ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', an unscrupulous gum salesman incites a near-riot among Dante's customers by accusing him of being [[HitlerAteSugar equivalent to the Nazis because, like them, he's 'only following orders' by selling cigarettes]]. When he's exposed, one of the customers who was previously stirred into self-righteous outrage by this slinks up to the counter and sheepishly asks to buy... a pack of cigarettes.
* In ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', during Mother Gothel's VillainSong she sings the line "Skip the ''drama''/stay with mama", whilst coming down some candle-lined stairs in an elaborate fashion.
* In ''[[Film/BillAndTed Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure!]]'', when Bill and Ted get drafted into Billy the Kid's poker game, Bill gently admonishes Ted to "have a poker face, like me". Not ten seconds later he looks at his cards and exclaims "Woah, three Aces, dude!"
* In ''Film/MysteryTeam'', Jason, Duncan, and Charlie are attempting to prove to Kelly that they're adult and professional enough to solve her parents' murder:
-->'''Jason:''' We are mature and legitimate detectives.
-->'''Kelly:''' What the hell is that smell?
-->'''Duncan:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext I drank dog urine]].
* In ''Film/{{Clue}}'', this is the basis for a RunningGag: whenever one of the other guests's crimes or indiscretions is revealed, Mrs. Peacock is not at all shy at loudly expressing her moral disapproval. Meanwhile, she spends her days working as a bagman for her husband, a politician who takes bribes in exchange for awarding defense contracts. This is especially pronounced with TheReveal that [[spoiler:Colonel Mustard was a war profiteer and Miss Scarlet bribed a police officer to keep her brothel open]].
* ''Film/JudgeDredd''. Fergie's and Dredd's discussion while on the transport to the Aspen Penal Colony.
-->'''Herman Ferguson:''' Dredd? What are you doing here?
-->'''Judge Dredd:''' I was convicted of a crime. Wrongly.
-->'''Herman:''' ''(laughs)'' That's kinda weird! What are the odds? Two wrongly convicted guys sitting right next to each other?
-->'''Dredd:''' You received the sentence the law required.
-->'''Herman:''' Five years? Just for saving my own ass? That was a mistake!
-->'''Dredd:''' The law doesn't... make mistakes.
-->'''Herman:''' Really? Then how do you explain what happened to you?
-->''(Dredd pauses)''
-->'''Herman:''' You can't, can you? Great. Mr. I-am-the-law can't. So maybe this is some kind of typo. Maybe it's a glitch. Or maybe it's ''poetic justice''.
-->''([[ArmorPiercingQuestion Dredd looks at him in shock]])''
* In ''Film/DontBeAMenaceToSouthCentralWhileDrinkingYourJuiceInTheHood'', AngryBlackMan Preach lambasts Ashtray and Loc Dog for using "nigger" [[NWordPrivileges in their vernacular]], arguing that it demeans their entire race. Immediately after this he asks them to remind him that he still needs to pick up his laundry from "that chink motherfucker up the street".
* ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'': "Ssssay, you oughtta do ssssomething about that sssspeech impediment, ssssonny."
* Whilst inside the theater in the first ''Film/ScaryMovie'', Brenda warns the rest of the audience not to talk during the movie, while merrily doing so herself. Her behaviour is so obnoxious that they resort to murdering her so they can enjoy the remainder of the presentation.
* In ''The Comedy of Terrors'', after Creator/VincentPrice's undertaker character learns that the widow of a man he killed in order to bring business to his funeral home has taken her husband's money and split for Europe without paying for the funeral services, he looks skyward and laments "Is there no morality left in this world?"
* In ''Film/TheWoman'', after the feral woman bites off Chris' finger, he yells at her to tell her that what she did was uncivilized. Coming from the man who's ''keeping a feral woman locked in his cellar''.
* In ''Film/TheTrumanShow'', at the end of an interview, the interviewer thanks Christof for his time, noting how he values his privacy, which is, in fact the one thing (besides honesty) he has denied Truman his whole life.
** In the 'behind the scenes' clips, the actors and producers stress how the appeal of the show is how 'real' Truman and everything around him is, when even a surface glance at Truman's life reveals it to be almost entirely artificial, engineered and programmed. In fact, throughout the movie whenever Truman expresses his true self and doesn't follow the choices the producers have preconditioned him to make things fall apart very quickly and chaos results.
* In ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', Violet comments "Spitting's a dirty habit!" with her finger up her nose. Immediately lampshaded by Willy: "I know a worse one."
* ''Film/SherlockHolmes'' has a scene in which Holmes advises Watson to 'save your bullets', moments before he fires his own revolver at a wall multiple times in an attempt to subdue the villain.
-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Watson:]]''' [[LampshadeHanging What was that about saving bullets?]]
** In the sequel, Holmes accuses Watson of showing poor manners towards Simza after she offers them hospitality; Watson takes umbrage with being lectured on manners by the man who threw his fiancee out of a speeding train and into a lake.
* In ''Film/TheAvengers'', [[ItsAllAboutMe Tony Stark]] ridicules [[AGodAmI Loki]] for being a 'full tilt diva'. He notices it himself mid-sentence.
* In {{Spaceballs}}, while they're escaping from the prison complex, Vespa is tossed a gun, but says that [[DoesNotLikeGuns she hates guns]]. Then [[BerserkButton her hair is singed by stray blaster fire]]. She then proceeds to gun down all of the mooks trying to stop them.
* In ''Film/JackTheGiantSlayer'' Wicke asks Roderick, [[spoiler: after just pushing a soldier to his death]], "Why do people always bother screaming before they die?". Ironically, [[spoiler: a giant grabs him moments later, and he screams until said giant bites his head off.]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* From Darren Shan's ''Lord Loss'', we have the following gem, courtesy of Grubbs' mother in the first chapter:
-->''"How long has he been smoking? That's what I want to know!"''
-->...
--> ''"A few months maybe. But only a couple a day."''
--> ''"If he says a couple, he means at least five or six," Mum snorts.''
--> ''"No, I don't!" I shout. "I mean a couple!"''
--> ''"Don't raise your voice to me!" Mum roars back.''
* In ''The Wide Window'', the third installment in ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', Captain Sham says, "There ain't nothin' better than good grammar!" Guess what's so hypocritical about that.
* The book of ''Film/LayerCake'' combines this with the UnreliableNarrator idea when the protagonist, a London drug dealer, expresses self-consciousness that himself and his AffablyEvil (and AxCrazy) associates are perceived by outsiders as dangerous criminals (he thinks of himself as a businessman).
* Used for a quick in-joke in the ''Literature/{{Little House|OnThePrairie}}'' series, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder (paraphrased slightly):
-->'''Mary''': I am planning to write a book someday. But I also planned to teach school, and you're doing it for me! Perhaps you will write the book!
-->'''[[AuthorAvatar Laura]]''': I, write a book? I'm going to be an old maid schoolteacher! Write your own book!
* One of the {{Running Gag}}s of JamesHerriot's [[UnreliableNarrator semi-autobiographical]] series of memoirs was his boss Siegfried Farnon's habit of advising James (and others) to take a certain course of action -- only to turn around and advise them against it a short time later, or do the exact opposite himself. Sometimes ''in the same scene''. At one point he notes that James has been dillydallying about courting Helen, and bullies James into proposing; after Helen accepts, Farnon promptly berates James for rushing into marriage. The kicker is that when confronted, Siegfried feigns complete amnesia re: the previous conversations, then gently, maddeningly, chides the other for getting so upset. On more than one occasion Herriot describes wanting to hit him when this "saintly look" comes over his face.
* In the Young Adult novel ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprout_%28novel%29 Sprout]]'', the eponymous character shares a heartwarming first kiss (In a tree no less) with his best friend, Ty. After they kiss for a few minutes, Sprout makes a comment about homosexuality to which Ty responds by frowning and saying "I'm ''not'' gay." Before kissing him again.
* Mocked in one of Scott (''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'') Adams' parody textbooks, when he points out that someone in a book he read used twelve words, two languages, and two brackets to say "don't be wordy". He goes on to point out that it ''does'' sound quite smart, even though someone who spoke [[PretentiousLatinMotto that language]] probably believed you could cure leprosy by eating mud.
* ''Creator/DaveBarry Slept Here'':
-->In fact, the book you are now reading was written on a personal computer, which is why it is devoid of the "typos" that were so common in the days of old-fashioned wersp oidop gfegkog pl;gpp$R$%!%.
* Sergeant Jackrum from ''Discworld/MonstrousRegiment'' is in the habit of saying [[CatchPhrase "Upon my oath, I am not a (adjective) man!"]] and immediately proving it untrue - e.g., "Upon my oath, I am not a violent man!" followed by him punching someone. [[spoiler: As it turns out, it's not actually hypocrisy, only [[ExactWords misdirection]] -- Sergeant Jackrum is indeed not a violent ''[[SweetPollyOliver man]]''.]]
** It's almost not hypocritical anyway -- the way he uses the line implies, "...but now you've forced me to do this."
** In ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', Sergeant Colon spent the entire book as TheClavin, telling Nobby LittleKnownFacts about Klatch, the ocean and, at one point, tattoos. When someone ''else'' in a crowd started expounding on donkeys and minarets, he muttered "There's always a know-all". Nobby agreed.
*** In the same book, a conversation between Colon and Nobby about Klatchians relies heavily on this. For example, Colon says "They don't know how to do an honest day's work!" and Nobby points out that Mr. Goriff, the owner of the Klatchian take-away, nearly never closes it. (Colon himself is rather lazy and dim, and would rather "guard" [[note]]That's 'guard' as in 'make sure it doesn't escape' rather than 'protect from harm'.[[/note]] a ''bridge'' than do anything difficult or dangerous.)
** Back in ''Discworld/GuardsGuards'', Colon was already doing this:
-->'''Colon''': All this business about lords and kings, it's against basic human dignity. We're all equal. It makes me sick.
-->'''Nobby''': Never heard you talk like this before, Fred.
-->'''Colon''': That's Sergeant Colon to you, Nobby.
*** And he repeats the above line in, again, ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'', after Vimes has a word with him about calling Goriff a "raghead", and he tells Nobby ''he's'' never minded what people call him.
* In ''Literature/AmericanPsycho'', Patrick Bateman and some other guys are appalled that the only thing their dates can seem to talk about is clothes (furs, specifically), when they talk about much more important things... like business suits.
* There is a poem in Russian called ''The Chatterer'', about a girl complaining that someone made it up that she was one, and the truth is, she has no time at all to chatter... over forty lines follow of her explaining why.
* Hypocritical one-liners are a staple of Jack Handey's books: "If any man says he hates war more than I do, he better have a knife, that's all I have to say."
* Creator/JaneAusten frequently indulges in these:
** The DeadpanSnarker narrator of ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' more than once describes the GrumpyBear Elizabeth as naturally inclined to be happy. "But it was her business to be satisfied -- and certainly her temper to be happy"... less than a page after sharing her philosophy that happiness requires disappointment: "By carrying with me one ceaseless source of regret in my sister's absence, I may reasonably hope to have all my expectations of pleasure realised. A scheme of which every part promises delight can never be successful; and general disappointment is only warded off by the defence of some little peculiar vexation."
*** It's not just the narrator either; Mrs. Bennet is very fond of retroactively trying to rewrite history to make it look as if she's always in the right (particularly with regard to prospective / not-so-prospective sons-in-law), which fools no one. Wickham, for his part, takes pains to stress that he takes no pleasure in revealing the 'truth' of his history with Mr. Darcy... while taking every possible opportunity to reiterate the 'truth' of his history with Mr. Darcy.
** "Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery. I quit such odious subjects as soon as I can, impatient to restore everybody, not greatly in fault themselves, to tolerable comfort, and to have done with all the rest." This statement comes from ''Literature/MansfieldPark'', her token DarkerAndEdgier novel that dwells on guilt and misery and denies the heroine tolerable comfort longer than any of her other novels.
* Joan Hess uses this a lot in her ''Maggody'' comedy/mystery series, most often when locals boast of being the soul of discretion, swearing not to blab some secret they've been entrusted with, then ''immediately'' pass it on to a third party.
** Brother Verber, whose internal monologue suggests he's honestly convinced his forays to strip clubs and porn theaters are for "research" into potential moral threats, can act out this trope all by himself.
* At one point in ''The Last Camel Died at Noon'', AmeliaPeabody Emerson pats herself on the back for nagging her husband into a certain course of action. When it goes badly a few pages later, she notes that if he'd listened to her, he would never have taken that course. Apparently, she forgot to [[{{Retcon}} edit]] the relevant portion of her journal.
* In ''Literature/GreatExpectations'', Pip attends a very bad amateur production of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''. At the point where the actor playing Hamlet speaks the line "[[MilkingTheGiantCow Don't saw the air thus]]", a heckler points out that the actor is doing exactly the same thing.
* In ''Literature/CatchTwentyTwo'', Chief White Halfoat decries racism thus:
-->''It's a terrible thing to treat a decent Native American like a <string of racial epithets>.''
* In the Literature/SherlockHolmes story ''The Man with the Twisted Lip'', we learn that Holmes holds people smoking opium in quite a low esteem. Him being a cocaine addict doesn't change this. This was, however, a typical stance back then -- cocaine and heroin were OK for upper class if not overdone, while opium was a low man's drug.
* The eponymous thousand-year-old Djinni Bartimaeus from ''Literature/TheBartimaeusTrilogy'' is absolutely prone to this, and he generally sums up his own traits here in his thoughts about his fellow Djinni:
-->"To be fair, a few of them were all right. Nimshik had a spent a good while in Canaan and had interesting points to make about the local tribal politics; Menes, a youngish djinni, listened attentively to my words of wisdom; even Chosroes grilled a mean imp. But the rest were sorry wastes of essence. Beyzer being boastful, Tivoc sarcastic, and Xoxen full of false modesty, which in my humble opinion are three immediately tiresome traits."
** Bartimaeus actually has a bit of a right to be as boastful as he was, however, and for that reason he strikes some as a clever CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass.
** Although there are quite a lot who know that he's more of a ChaoticNeutral in practically the purest sense.
* See the entry of BrevityIsWit for the full version of the verse by Shakespeare, which is ''anything'' but brief about talking about brevity (then again, when has Shakespeare done anything that wasn't in the form of SesquipedalianLoquaciousness?). Polonius was supposed to be a dottering windbag, so it's intentional.
* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', hypocritical humor tends to follow this format:
-->"Ah, well, people can be a bit stupid abou' their pets," said Hagrid wisely. Behind him, Buckbeak spat a few ferret bones onto Hagrid's pillow.
** Lampshaded in the second book: when Ron is rescuing Harry by a magic car, he chastises Harry for (allegedly[[note]]it was actually Dobby[[/note]]) using magic outside school. Harry wryly replies, "bit rich coming from you."
** In the very first book, Vernon believes that wizards will be unable to deliver Harry's letter if he nails the mail slot shut because: "'These people's minds work in strange ways, Petunia, they're not like you and me,' said Uncle Vernon, trying to knock in a nail with the piece of fruitcake Aunt Petunia had just brought him."
* In ''Literature/TheDevilsDictionary'', Ambrose Bierce provides this definition for 'Platitude':
-->'''Platitude,''' ''n.'' The fundamental element and special glory of popular literature. A thought that snores in words that smoke. The wisdom of a million fools in the diction of a dullard. A fossil sentiment in artificial rock. A moral without the fable. All that is mortal of a departed truth. A demi-tasse of milk-and morality. The Pope's-nose of a featherless peacock. A jelly-fish withering on the shore of the sea of thought. The cackle surviving the egg. A desiccated epigram.
* In ''Literature/TheMonsterAtTheEndOfThisBook'', Grover spends the entire book being afraid of the monster. At the end, after learning that [[spoiler:he himself is the monster]], he turns around and berates the reader for having been so terrified when there was nothing to be afraid of.
* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' does this from time to time, most frequently if Nynaeve is the perspective character, or is being remarked about by another character. Particularly, she tends to complain of people being unreasonably violent, and then propose to hit them until they stop it.
* ''Literature/DonQuixote:'' When Don Quixote reads some pages of the Second Part of ''Don Quixote of La Mancha'' (an unauthorized {{Fanfiction}}), he claims there are obvious errors from the author, the most important is that he errs on the name of Sancho’s wife… Cervantes, the original author, [[SeriesContinuityError give her five different names in his two parts of the novels.]]
* There's an Aesop's fable that uses this to make its point: a mother crab is watching her son scuttling back and forth sideways along the beach, and then scolds him for it, demanding he walk properly back and forth like everyone else. When the son asks her to show him how, she attempts it, and, being a crab, can only walk sideways herself. The actual lesson varies according to the version; most often the mother realizes she's being a hypocrite and the moral is "don't be a hypocrite", or the mother finds some way to justify her sideways walking and the moral is "that which someone despises in others, they are quick to excuse in themselves".
* ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'': Tom talking about being a superior "Nordic" despite his last name being ''Buchanan''.
** Tom again, UpToEleven, long time after he has cheated Daisy, discovers she could cheat him with Gatsby:
--> ''"I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let [[NouveauRiche Mr. Nobody from Nowhere]] make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out... Nowadays people begin by sneering at family life and family institutions and next [[UpToEleven they'll throw everything overboard and]] [[UnfortunateImplications have intermarriage between black and white."]]''
--> ''Flushed with his impassioned gibberish he saw himself standing alone on the last barrier of civilization.''
* In JohnCWright's ''[[Literature/CountToTheEschaton The Hermetic Millennia]]'', Lady Ivinia talks of how, as a Chimera woman, it is her place to be silent and obey, and how she is meek and gentle, in the same long speech where she effectively orders the men to deal with the enemy they face, and commit suicide if they fail.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/ThirtyRock'' has one in its signature meta-joke style, where Liz and Jack are discussing ''America's Kidz Got Singing'', a singing competition show NBC is airing:
-->'''Jack:''' "Kidz" is a hit the whole family can watch together, not your usual sitcom crap full of gratuitous vulgarity and pratfalls.\\
(''man in the background slips and falls'')\\
'''Man:''' Ohh, my penis!
** Another episode has Liz writing a TV movie Jack is producing, which ends with this exchange:
-->'''Liz:''' Hey, when this movie airs, can my name be the first credit that comes up at the end?\\
'''Jack:''' This is a group process Lemon, don't be an egomaniac.\\
(''camera pans to a TV that says "Executive Producer Lorne Michaels"'')
* Siegfried from ''Series/AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall'' has a bad habit of blaming his mistakes on other people, as well as criticizing them for faults he also possesses. And he does it so sanctimoniously.
-->'''James''': You know the one thing I can't stand about your brother, Tris? It's when he gets patient with you. He gets this saintly look on his face and you know that any moment now he's going to forgive you. For something ''he's'' just done.
* Ms. Hushbaum, the Loud Librarian from ''Series/AllThat''?
* On ''Series/{{Amen}}'', after Reverend Gregory has fainted, effectively ending his and Thelma's wedding. Thelma is freaking out, shaking him and demanding that he wake up.
--> '''Deacon Frye''': "Thelma, calm down! I know you're disappointed, but we have to call off the wedding! So what if I'm out $10,000. ''$10,000!'' (Grabs Reuben and starts shaking him the same way Thelma was) Wake up! Wake up! How could you do this to me!"
--> (Minister grabs the Deacon)
--> '''Minister:''' "Ernest, pull yourself together man! Money isn't everything!"
--> '''Deacon:''' "I'm glad to hear you say that, because if there's no wedding, you don't get paid!"
--> '''Minister:''' (grabs Reuben and starts shaking him) "Wake up! Wake up!"
* ''Series/{{Angel}}''. A RunningGag with Doyle's character.
-->'''Doyle''': It's not all about fighting and gadgets and such. It's about reaching out to people, showing them that there's love and hope still left in the world....
--> '''Homeless Woman''': (interrupting) Hey, spare change?
--> '''Doyle''': Get a job, you lazy sow!
* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' is the king of this. Among countless other examples:
-->'''Michael''': Some people are just impossible to have a conversation with.
-->'''Lucille''': If that's a veiled attempt to insult me, I didn't hear it, and I won't respond to it.
** The examples from this show could fit a whole page.
* In the ''Series/BabylonFive'' episode "The Geometry of Shadows", technomage Elric refutes Londo's false denial about pestering Elric for an audience by producing a recording of Vir delivering just such a request. Londo complains, "Recording a conversation -- a very low thing to do." as the screen cuts to a shot of the hidden camera Londo had just planted in Sheridan's office.
** Elric calls him on it. Explosively.
* 60's ''Series/{{Batman}}'', having just encountered The Green Hornet in a window
-->'''Robin''' (whispering): Gosh Batman, what do they dress like that for?
* In the ''{{Series/Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}'' episode "Earshot" Wesley points out that since Buffy can hear everyone's thoughts, it would take mental discipline to not broadcast their thoughts to Buffy. Within seconds, Wesley thinks about Cordelia in a highly inappropriate way. Buffy smirks at Wesley, and he excuses himself from the room in embarrassment.
** The same episode has this:
--> '''Xander''': Hogan Martin thinks he's sooooo hot. Like we should all be awed by him cuz he can put a ball in the net.
--> '''Hogan''': Hey, Xander.
--> '''Xander''': He said my name. He knows my name.
** In the MusicalEpisode "Once More With Feeling" Spike's song is all about how he wishes Buffy would get away from him as his unrequited feelings for her are tearing him up. When Buffy flees at the end of the song, Spike calls out pitiably, "So, you're not staying then?"
** In "A New Man" Giles is turned into a demon, but declares that he won't start acting like a monster just because he looks like one. Then he sees Professor Walsh, who pissed him off earlier in the episode, and chases her down the street roaring loudly.
** Giles also comes out with the following in "Primeval"
--> Xander, just because this is never going to work there's no need to be negative.
** When the mayor is showing Faith around her apartment:
-->Faith: Thanks, Sugar Daddy.
--> Mayor Wilkins: Now, Faith, I don't find that sort of thing amusing. I'm a family man. Now, let's kill your little friend.
* In ''Series/{{Castle}}'', this trope is used often and well, typically with ''some'' other character around to lampshade it.
** Martha can often be relied upon to provide humour of this nature; such as, the night before one of Rick's book launches:
-->'''Martha''': ''[chuckling]'' You really are something, you know? You always think everything's about you. ''[Hands him a stack of leaflets]]'' Here.
-->'''Castle''': What are these?
-->'''Martha''': Oh, they're fliers for my play. I thought you could hand them out when you were signing books tomorrow.
** In a later episode, both Castle and Beckett have gone out on separate dates and ended up at the same very exclusive restaurant. They spent the entire time preoccupied with the BodyOfTheWeek and had a tendency to slip away from their supposed dates to confer about the case with each other. Finally, they bailed entirely and the dates hooked up with one another. At the end of the episode, as Castle and Beckett go out to grab a bite to eat at a burger joint, they swap notes on their dates earlier that evening, remarking that they seemed 'boring' and 'a little self-absorbed':
---> '''Castle''': Some people just don't know how to behave on a date.
---> '''Beckett''': ''Especially'' on a first date.
** Martha walks in on Castle and Alexis playing poker.
--->'''Martha''': I am shocked that there is gambling in this house! Deal me in.
-->Note that this is also a ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' (as quoted at the top of this page).
** In another episode, Castle tries to talk to Alexis, who just interrupted movie night with her dad because her boyfriend wants to talk to her: "I mean, think about what kind of signal you're sending if you're the one always rearranging your schedule at the other one's every beck and call. I mean, if you just drop everything the very moment that..." At which point Beckett calls him, and he drops everything.
** In "The Squab and the Quail", a billionaire playboy is threatened with murder. He pulls strings with the commissioner to get Beckett assigned as his bodyguard rather than a uniformed police officer. Castle complains, "I just can't believe that the department is forcing her to hang around with some womanizing rich guy against her will!" Ryan and Esposito share a look; this is the entire premise of the series, and ''Castle'' is usually the womanizing rich guy in question.
* One of the most popular types of joke on the sitcom ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. Examples:
-->'''Norm''': Woody you can't go sneaking out nights on someone you love! Woody you have to believe that truth-"
-->'''Carla''': "Norm your wife Vera's on the phone!"
-->'''Norm''': "I'm not here.(back to Woody)- and honesty are the cornerstones of a relationship!"
** In another episode the guys see recurring FrenchJerk Henri walk into the bar:
--->'''Barfly 1''': Hey isn't that that French guy who's trying to steal Woody's girlfriend?
--->'''Cliff''': Yeah, what a slimebag.
--->'''Barfly 2''': The man's got the morals of a snake.
--->'''Norm''': Can't believe he'd show his face in here.
--->'''Henri''': (smiles and waves) Hello fellows!
--->'''Norm and the others''': (very cheerfully) Hey Henri! How you doin'?
* ''Series/{{Community}}'': After Senor Chang has ordered the class to 'turn on' Britta, resulting in her being pelted with paper.
-->'''Britta:''' "Ow! Real mature." ''[She leaves]''\\
'''Senor Chang''': ''[Childishly]'' "That's right, we ''are'' mature! ''Too'' mature to sit in a class with a cheating lying poop-face!"\\
''[Britta has long since left the room]''
** Also when they're all panicking about Britta's psych test showing one of them is a potential murderer (turns out it's all of them except Abed):
---> '''Annie:''' Stay back psychos! Or I'll slit your throats and bathe in your blood!
** And probably the best example yet, the opening scene of season 3:
--->''[[IWantSong We're gonna have more fun and be less weird / Than the first two years combiiiiiiined!]]''
** In general, Britta and Shirley tend to generate this kind of humor most frequently (although the others certainly aren't immune to it), Britta because she's a SoapboxSadie GranolaGirl who's not nearly as committed to her causes as she likes others to think she is, and Shirley because she's TheFundamentalist who thinks that she's the group's conscience without quite realising her own flaws.
* On ''Series/CornerGas'', in which the following exchange occurs:
-->'''Oscar''': (''to Emma'') Your son is turning the gas station into a movie theatre!
-->'''Brent''': Keep in mind that Dad does have a tendency to overstate these things.
-->'''Oscar''': I've never overstated a single thing in the history of the planet!
** And:
--->'''Karen''': She seems quick to judge. I noticed that right away about her.
* ''Series/{{CSI}}'': A crime scene clean-up guy who's working on Nick and Warrick's scene has just got through pontificating about respect for the dead when they find an unexpected second body shoved in a video game cabinet. The first words out of his mouth? "Holy mackerel, bitch in a box!"
* Private Frazer in ''Series/DadsArmy'' is quite fond of loudly expressing one bitterly-held and often contentious viewpoint, only to immediately switch to loudly expressing its exact opposite when it no longer becomes prudent to hold the first viewpoint.
* In the second episode of ''Series/{{Dexter}}'''s third season, Dexter is trying to track down the address of a recent murder victim; his searches take him to a sorority house during a party. When he asks two of the girl's sisters if they know her, they dismissively state that she's a "total ho bag". Then they ask Dexter if he's got any drugs. "We put out."
* ''Series/DrakeAndJosh'': In the episode "Driver's License", Drake and Josh talk about they being now mature, just before fighting over the "purple controller" and tackle each other down.
* Sally on ''Series/DropTheDeadDonkey'' is often guilty of this, to the point where her colleagues made a montage of her saying "I'm not one to complain, but..."
** And she responded to this by turning to George and saying...
** In another episode, Helen finally tells her mother she's gay. Her mother responds that she knows, and it's probably hereditary because she had some same-sex relationships herself. Helen spends the rest of the episode outraged that her mother has been keeping this from her for years.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': [[DeadpanSnarker Wash]] pulls one of these off early in "Bushwhacked''.
-->'''Zoe:''' Proximity alert. Must be coming up on something.
-->'''Wash:''' Oh my god. What can it be? We're doomed! WHO'S FLYING THIS THING?
-->[[{{Beat}} *beat*]]
-->'''Wash:''' Oh. Right. That'd be me.
* The ''Cheers'' SpinOff ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' also uses this a lot.
-->'''Roz''': Frasier's a good guy, he's smart, he's sweet, and way too good for you. Why don't you just leave, nobody here likes you anyway.\\
'''Julia''': Frasier seems to.\\
'''Roz''': Well he's an idiot.
** In the ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' episode where the ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' regulars show up, the lazy bar-fly Norm hits it off with Marty. When time comes for them to part company, Marty invites Norm to catch up if ever Norm's in Seattle:
---> '''Marty''': It's only six hours flying time from Boston to Seattle.
--->'''Norm''': Six hours...you know sittin' there in one place, never movin'. That's, that's just not me, you know?
** There's also a bit where it looks like Frasier is going to be compelled to tell the truth about Niles' feelings for Daphne at Niles' divorce deposition, thus ruining his chance of getting anything in the settlement ''and'' exposing his feelings for Daphne. Martin urges him to just lie, but Frasier feels his ethics forbid this. After the resulting argument, Frasier storms out, and Martin sneers about how Frasier buckles under pressure, and how "some of us [i.e. him] can deal with a tough situation head on, and others just need an escape'... whilst he's pouring himself a stiff drink and Niles has retreated to his 'safe place' under the piano.
** From "Shrink Rap":
--->'''Frasier''': I am so tired of your exaggeration! You always make things sound 50,000 times worse than they really are!
** ''Frasier'' runs on this trope, in both it's one-liner and more subtle forms. The very premise of the show is a form of this trope — a brilliant psychiatrist who is always giving people advice on how to fix their problems, but [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes can't figure out his own neuroses or relationships to save his life]].
* In ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'', Daniel tells Kim he's "just trying to be rational" about why Lindsay's parents would disapprove of her. Kim does not appreciate it.
--> '''Kim''': Are you calling me irrational? Because I'll tear your head off, Daniel. I'll tear it off and throw it over that fence.
* Paris from ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' was annoyed with the fact that she couldn't find a soup kitchen to volunteer in on Thanksgiving because they were all overflowing with volunteers. "Who are all these jackasses who volunteered anyway? They can't all be students like me. They're not all putting it on a college application. I get something out of it and these other people don't get a thing. Talk about selfish!"
* The basic concept of Michelle in ''Grownups''; a nutritionist who constantly eats junk food.
* On the 1970s-90s country music/comedy series ''HeeHaw'', the recurring ''Gossip Girls'' sketch started with the actresses claiming that they never spread gossip in the following lyrics: "Now, we're not ones to go 'round spreadin' rumors, Why, really we're just not the gossipy kind, No, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip, So you'd better be sure and listen close the first time!"
* ''Series/{{House}}'': When Greg House puts speed in Wilson's coffee to test if Wilson is on anti-depressants, Wilson is rather livid. Later in that episode comes the revelation that Wilson has been [[NotSoAboveItAll dosing House with anti-depressants]]. In fairness to Wilson, he may have actually been angry at House for deliberately putting him at risk of dangerous medication interactions- but ''that'' becomes HypocriticalHumor when he follows up his rant with "give me a Vicodin before I have a stroke."
** On multiple occasions, House has criticized someone for doing drugs immediately before popping a Vicodin pill.
* On ''Series/HomeImprovement'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzXiNhGHTic Wilson's reaction to Jill telling him that Tim is getting an honorary Ph.D.]] (Wilson had worked his butt off to earn his Ph.D. the normal way, and Jill was in the process of doing the same.)
-->'''Wilson:''' I've never been a proponent of the symbolic gesture, but Tim is your husband, and he is my neighbor. We should be happy.
-->'''Jill:''' ''(sigh)'' You're right.
-->''{{beat}}''
-->'''Wilson:''' ''A '''Ph.D.'''?! '''TIM'''?!''
* The FramingDevice of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' is an older Ted telling his children how he met his current wife, and so far he's been telling this story for six seasons to his eternally bored looking kids. One of his stories has Ted finding out that he can't stand his new girlfriend anymore because she just won't shut up.
-->'''Ted''': So, kids, Kathy couldn't stop talking. Can you imagine how awful that is?
-->'''Kids''': ...
** In "Okay Awesome," after Lily tracks Marshall down to a club he ditched their boring wine-tasting party to go to, we get this conversation:
--->'''Lily''': He just left! In the middle of our own party! You don't ''do'' that.
--->'''Robin''': ...
--->'''Lily''': Unless, of course, you're chasing after somebody who's already done it, and then...and then I think it's okay. *trails off*
** In "Belly Full of Turkey," Robin mocks Ted by pointing out that America is the world's leader in handgun violence. However, Ted DoesntLikeGuns while Robin owns several of them, subscribes to ''Guns and Ammo'', and goes to the firing range when she needs to blow off steam. In addition, she's actually ''threatened people with guns'' at least twice that we've seen (Gael's friends and a pair of thieves who tried to steal her TV) and suggested that Marshall do the same when he's afraid his boss will fire him.
** Robin's therapist tells her he's moving to Alaska. Turns out he had to stop seeing her because he was attracted to her.
--->'''Robin:''' [offended] So you dumped me as a patient so you could ''ask me out''?
--->'''Therapist:''' I'm not asking you out!
--->'''Robin:''' [disappointed] You're not asking me out?
* ''Series/ICarly'': Many of the episodes use this a lot. Each character even has at least one of these.
** While Gibby walks out of the studio:
--->'''Carly''': Poor kid. It must feel bad to love someone who doesn't love you back.
--->'''Freddie''': (turns to stare at Carly)
--->'''Carly''': Sorry.
** When the gang is cleaning up the mess of the police stakeout:
--->'''Sam''': Some people just have no manners. (throws an empty soda can on the floor for Freddie to pick up)
** After Spencer's high-powered sculpture destroyed their longest webcast World Record attempt:
--->'''Spencer''': Hey guys, don't make me look guilty, like it was all my fault.
--->'''Carly, Sam, Freddie''': (ALL stare at Spencer)
--->'''Spencer''': Oh yeah.
** When discussing the Dingo Channel:
--->'''Spencer''': Aw, I hate that channel! They always make adults look like buffoons!
--->'''Carly''': You forgot to wear pants.
--->'''Spencer''': Oh my God.
* In a recurring ''Series/InLivingColor'' skit, Kim Wayans played an inner city woman named Miss Benita Buttrel, who would often decry the gossip surrounding several figures in her neighborhood...and then proceed to bury them under rumor and slander in the ugliest way possible. Nearly every time she was finished talking about someone, she would then add on, "But I ain't one to gossip, ''so you didn't hear that from me''."
* This was half of Maya's repertoire in ''Series/JustShootMe'', aside from [[SoapboxSadie shrill activism]]. Oddly enough, there were other times where they didn't seem to be playing it as a gag, she just was... hypocritical. (For instance, deriding Elliot for his nerdy looks back in high school.) In fact there were times where this seemed to be a FamilyUnfriendlyAesop, implying that others were being ''unreasonable'' in asking her to stop berating someone over their looks or social status, or for her to apologize for doing so.
** Jack was also prone to it, especially where Maya is concerned. He tries to make her break up with a much older boyfriend in one episode, despite being married to one of Maya's high school friends.
* In ''LarkRiseToCandleford'', Dorcas Lane has a tendency to describe whatever vice / indulgence she's about to enjoy -- fine food, fine baths, clothes, etc -- as "my one weakness."
* Robbie is one of the most active people in ''LazyTown'' due to his schemes...despite said schemes revolving around making the tow's citizens lazy and unhealthy. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in one of the episodes where Sportacus points out how active the villain really is.
* ''Series/{{Mash}}'', in its first couple of seasons, would often show [[StrawHypocrite Majors Burns and Houlihan]] spying on and expressing disgust at the sexual dalliances of the other characters... which would get the Majors so horny they'd immediately start fooling around themselves.
** In a lesser example from a later season, Hawkeye and B.J. start riffing on famous Shakespearean phrases ("Friends, Romans and Countrymen, lend me your ears, I promise to return them.") Winchester counters with a straight reading of the ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' line, "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hawkeye replies, "Man, if there's one thing I hate it's someone who butchers Shakespeare."
** Another instance:
--->'''Klinger:''' It was all just a misunderstanding; I would never try to bribe an officer! ''(pause)'' Ten bucks to forget the whole thing.
** Another example:
--->'''Frank''': The way I see it, unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free.
* In the ''Series/{{Monk}}'' episode "Mr. Monk and the Leper". When Monk overreacts to shaking hands with a leper (who turns out to have been a phony), Natalie has to talk him out of lighting his hand on fire. But later, Natalie makes out with Dr. Polanski, an expert on leprosy, who knows the disease well because it turns out he had the disease. Natalie's reaction is to drink a stream of hot water directly out of the faucet and tell Julie to fill a bathtub with Listerine, which is lampshaded when Monk notices Natalie drinking a bottle of mouthwash:
-->'''Adrian Monk:''' Are you drinking that?\\
'''Natalie Teeger:''' Mmm-hmm.\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Where’s the woman who’s been lecturing me all week about compassion and tolerance? \\
'''Natalie Teeger:''' Okay, you know what? It’s not funny! You didn’t have your tongue down his throat!\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' I shook hands with one. That’s bad enough.\\
'''Natalie Teeger:''' Your leper wasn’t even a real leper! My leper was the real deal!\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' I thought he was real! That’s what counts. You know the old saying, “There is no heart so black as the black, black heart of the Phony Leper”?\\
'''Natalie Teeger:''' No, I never heard that one!
** Also, in "Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse," taking its cue from one of the examples under the "Other" folder, Randy cites his astrological sign - a Pisces - as the reason he isn't superstitious.
** In "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," Monk has witnessed a gang shooting and is in WitnessProtection under Agent Grooms. On their way to the safehouse, they stop at the general store to stock up on supplies, and Agent Grooms tells the others they can stretch their legs so long as they don't do anything to draw attention to themselves.....while wearing a very conspicuous three-piece suit. [[LampshadeHanging Natalie even lampshades it]].
* The number of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketches using HypocriticalHumor would probably fill a page all on its own.
--> Dear Sir, I object strongly to the letters on your programme. They are clearly not written by the general public and are merely included for a cheap laugh. Yours sincerely etc., William Knickers.
** "I! WOULD PUT A TAX! ON ALL PEOPLE! WHO'D STAND! IN WATER! [[LampshadeHanging WHOA!"]]
** This little gem from the Argument Clinic sketch.
-->'''Mr Barnard:''' Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
-->'''Man:''' Yes, but that's not just saying "No it isn't."
-->'''Mr. Barnard:''' Yes it is!
-->'''Man:''' No it isn't!
*** This one's a bit of a subversion though, as the man ''doesn't'' just say "No it isn't," - the moment the laughter dies down he gives an actual argument.
*** He only does this ''after'' he notices what he just said.
*** But then, the only reason he had time to stop and notice it instead of just pressing on with his argument was because he had to pause for laughter.
* Kate in ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' complained about Tony's porn obsession but looked at porn sites herself off-work and moaned about sexual objectification of women just before finding a bunch of shirtless men being photographed highly attractive. We'll put the Wet T-Shirt contest in her college days as something that occurred when drunk.
* Played straight in the ''Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses'' episode "Little Problems". Del is asked to make a contribution for his younger brother's wedding, and doesn't want to pay out too much money. Once he realizes that the bride's father only means a contribution of ideas and opinions, he attempts to get out of his earlier suggestion of using the old pub for the reception and back to a country club. When Alan anxiously asks, "But surely you don't like all that type of thing, do you?", Del replies, "Oh, I hate it. I hate it, Alan. I mean, those sorts of people only do things for effect," as he is served a massive cocktail, complete with fruit and umbrellas.
* ''Series/{{Psych}}'' gets about as hypocritical as is possible in the Season 4 pilot, when Shawn is discussing his powers with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext Canadian police officer]]:
-->'''Shawn''': You've seen ''Series/TheMentalist'', right?
-->'''Rob''': Yes.
-->'''Shawn''': It's like that.
-->'''Gus''': Except that guy's a fake.
-->'''Shawn''': Right. If I was a fake psychic, it would be eerily similar.
-->'''Gus''': Exactly the same.
-->'''Shawn''': [[TakeThat A virtual carbon copy.]]
* More like humor based off of hypocrisy, but in ''Series/RedDwarf'', Rimmer finds out Lister is using illegal learning drugs to study for his Chef's Exam. Rimmer demands names, places, and dates. "Arnold Rimmer, his locker, this morning."
* In the April 14 2000 episode of ''RoyalCanadianAirFarce'', Vera asks her friends at the donut shop if they got their Lotto 649 tickets for the week. Charlie gets upset and says that lotteries are a tax on the stupid, people have a better chance of getting hit by a bus than winning, and lotteries are for "lazy unmotivated people who don't want to do an honest day's work." Al asks how many tickets he bought, and Charlie replies, "The usual, six."
** In the March 31 2000 episode, John Morgan is on a commuter train and two of his fellow passengers start having loud conversations on their cell phones. He picks up an imaginary phone and starts having a pretend conversation about how he's "sitting in the middle of a couple of cell phone A-holes" and how obnoxious it is to talk on a cell phone in public. After the "cell phone A-holes" get up and leave, though, Morgan takes out an actual cell phone and makes a call of his own.
* In ''Series/SamanthaWho'', Samantha is relating an incident to her ex boyfriend, breaking off to ask him to 'Please put down the baloney, I'm trying to tell you how I don't need attention from men anymore!'
* Extremely common in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' episodes. E.g.: Elliot makes a crack about Dr Cox's god complex. Dr Cox claims he has no idea what she's talking about, only to demand a random extra kiss his ring. In another episode, JD complains about a former patient following him around like she has no other friends; immediately after Turk goes to see his wife and JD says "I'll go with you." "[[LampshadeHanging Of course]]."
* The first episode of season 2 of ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' gives us this:
--> '''Mrs. Hudson''': ...Family is all we have in the end, Mycroft Holmes.
--> '''Mycroft''': Oh, shut up, Mrs. Hudson!
--> '''Sherlock and John''': ''[In unison, outraged]'' MYCROFT!
--> '''Mycroft''': Apologies.
--> '''Mrs. Hudson''': Thank you.
--> '''Sherlock''': ''[To Mrs. Hudson]'' Though do, in fact, shut up.
* ''Series/SixFeetUnder'': Bordering between this and NWordPrivileges:
-->'''Gabe''': ''(to a hipster that bumped into him)'' Faggot!
-->'''Claire''': Hey, shut up! My brother is a faggot.
* From ''Series/SlingsAndArrows'':
-->'''Anna''': I was asking about pot. You know, marijuana.\\
'''Maria''': I know what pot is. So, you assume I'm a pothead, as well as a lesbian? Because all stage managers are pot-smoking lesbians, right?\\
'''Anna''': No! \\
'''Maria''': Well, I'm sorry to disappoint 'cha, but... I'm all out. This process has been hard on my stash, and my guy's out of town 'till Tuesday. Sorry.
* In ''{{Smallville}}'', when Chloe notices minor earthquakes around town...
-->'''Chloe''': [[ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex I thought you said you couldn't...]]
-->'''Lana''': [[LightningCanDoAnything Normally, we couldn't, but...]]
-->'''Clark''': You guys talk about this?!
-->'''Lana''': What? It's just [[PlatonicLifePartners Chloe]].
** Chloe is nice enough not to mention that Clark spent a sizable amount of time complaining to Chloe about his sex life in an earlier season.
* Done subtly and hilariously in one episode of ''Series/SpinCity''. Having invited a gangsta rapper to the mayor's office over the matter of his lyrics, Carter says, "And remember, no gangsta stereotypes!" The rapper arrives and reaches into his coat for a business card... and Carter screams "GUN!" and dives behind a desk. Later on, when the rapper reaches into his pocket for something else, Carter does it ''again''.
* Possibly unintentional example: In an episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheadults look like buffoons!%told "Your old titles mean nothing here, Captain."
* ''Series/StrangersWithCandy'': "There's only one thing I hate more than racists, and that's spics!"
* Done rather [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesomely]] by ''Sheldon'' of all people, during ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' episode "The Nerdvanna Annihilation". After Penny derides Leonard for his toy collection, driving him into such a depression that he gives them all away, Sheldon marches over to her apartment [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFaDGg1ySgE gives her]] a well-deserved TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
-->'''Penny''': What the hell's going on?
-->'''Sheldon''': (With genuine anger) You ''hypocrite''!
-->'''Penny''': What?
-->'''Sheldon''': Little Miss "grown-ups don't play with toys"! If I went into that apartment right now, would I not find BeanieBabies? Are you not an accumulator of Franchise/{{Care Bears}} and Franchise/{{My Little Pon|y}}ies? And who is that Japanese feline frolicking on your shorts? Hello, HelloKitty!
** Of course, [[InsufferableGenius Sheldon]] is most often on the "hypocrite" side of these:
--->*someone knocks on the door*
--->'''Leonard''': Want to get that?
--->'''Sheldon''': Not particularly.
--->'''Leonard''': Could you get that?
--->'''Sheldon''': I suppose I could, if I were asked.
--->'''Leonard''': Would you please get that?
--->'''Sheldon''': Well, of course. *gets up to answer the door* Why do you have to make things so complicated?
* In an episode of ''Series/TheColbertReport'', Creator/StephenColbert briefly shared a story about how he once found one of his teenage staff members out back smoking with his friends while wearing an anti-smoking T-shirt. When questioned, he replied that he "thought it was funny."
** In another episode, Stephen, distraught over the loss of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, looks up the FiveStagesOfGrief. "Stage One... Denial. I've ''never'' had that."
** Frankly, Stephen Colbert's whole point of existence is HypocriticalHumor, ever since he was an anchor on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', which also frequently points out TruthInTelevision examples.
* In ''Series/TheDailyShow'', Jon Stewart criticized the 2010 British election debates, saying: "Your moderator is named Alastair Stewart! What kind of last name is Stewart?"
** Bonus joke if you know Stewart [[StageNames wasn't Jon's original last name]].
** Also pointed out and derided via an "epithet ticker" when UsefulNotes/SarahPalin defended Dr. Laura Shlesinger's career (a hasty retirement after using the N-word) in a Website/{{Tw|itter}}eet - mere months after calling for Rahm Emanuel's job for using the word "retard"... which, incidentally, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny was up five points]].
*** Actually averted in Palin's case: Emanuel used 'retard' as an intentional and malicious insult, while Dr. Laura was quoting, and railing against, the numerous African-American rappers and pop culture icons who use the n-word prolifically. The caller [[JustIgnoreIt ignored her entire argument]], and took offense with her use of the n-word, even though [[ComicallyMissingThePoint it was okay for the original speaker to do so]].
*** Except it was the ''media'' controversy that focused on the N-Word - as ''Series/TheDailyShow'' pointed out, the rest of Dr. Laura's discussion with the caller (summarized as "Lighten up about racist jokes your husband's friends make or get out of the relationship") showed a huge amount of callousness. However, it still fits hypocritical humor since the pundits on the show were debating which one was worst while using said terms.
** Oh beautiful, oblivious hypocrisy! Jason Jones tries to convince a Democrat to stop pointing the finger, [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-september-19-2012/finger-pointing-blame-game but the message won't get through.]]
* Mimi from ''Series/TheDrewCareyShow'' constantly makes fun of Drew's weight, calling him names like 'pig', despite the fact that she's noticably bigger than he is.
* On ''TheGeorgeLopezShow'', after Benny and George have argued with a racist:
-->'''Benny''': That's just like white people, taking one group and saying they're all the same!
* This bit from ''Series/TheMuppetShow''. Rather than watch the show, StatlerAndWaldorf opt to watch television through a set installed in the box, and upon flipping through the channels, find...
-->'''Statler''': What is THAT?!
-->'''Waldorf''': Looks like two ancient old guys sitting in a theatre box watching television!
-->'''Statler''': That's crazy! [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs No one would watch junk like that]]!
** On a ''Tales from the Vet'' section of ''Series/MuppetsTonight'' Dr. Van Neuter warns the guests not to overdo it on the eggnog at the Christmas party. HilarityEnsues when he [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsBIjhBBPx8 doesn't follow his own advice...]]
** Another episode, in a Muppet Labs segment, had Dr Bunsen Honeydew describe his assistant Beaker as a "short stubbly person". Beaker is actually ''taller'' than Bunsen.
** And ''then'' there's Miss Piggy, who will tie Kermit into a knot for even looking at another woman in one episode, then go out of her way to hit on any male guest star in the next.
* From ''Series/TheThickOfIt'':
-->'''Malcolm''': Oh, and that's an incredibly homophobic headline you're running with, you massive poof.
* ''Series/TheWestWing'' sometimes PlayedForLaughs the fact that much of the US population engages in this. At one point they quoted two opinion polls that demonstrated at least 14% of Americans think contributions to the UN are too high, and at the same time think it shouldn't be cut.
** This is actually very easily duplicated, and is not as much a matter of hypocrisy as it is the result of asking leading questions. It's TruthInTelevision, as many polls are designed to get certain results to be used as propaganda.
** Then there's the sixth season's Democratic convention negotiations.
-->'''Leo''': This is the week when pull this party together and show the American people we can lead with integrity and maturity. Okay, the speaking order. Rock, Paper, Scissors on three.
* Rick from ''Series/TheYoungOnes'', at the top of his lungs: '''''"I AM NOT GETTING AGGRESSIVE!!!!"'''''
* On ''Series/TopGear'', after their homebuilt electric car has received a scathing review from ''Autocar'' magazine, the three presenters complain that the critics were too hard on their vehicle and that it will hurt their sales... and what do people who review cars for a living know, anyway?
* Kathy Griffin, describing how disappointed her Catholic mother was with her Emmy award speech: "Kathryn, why'd ya have ta tell Jesus to suck it, gawddamnit? I can't even show my face at church, fer Christ's sake! Damn, Kathryn, don't be so rude!"
* As the late, great, Creator/GeorgeCarlin put it, "So I say live and let live. That's my motto: Live and let live. Anyone who can't go along with that, take 'em outside and shoot the motherfucker. It's a simple philosophy, but it's always worked in our family."
* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'':
** In ''Wi-Fi in the Sky'', when Trina asks the dad to don't let his son kick her seat, but he doesn't care.
--->'''Trina''': Some people are so crude!
--->'''Tori''': [Picks up the trash Trina put on her table some moments ago] I know!
* One episode of ''Series/WillAndGrace'' has Jack develop an addiction to coffee while dating someone from a coffeehouse, and then ends up trying to squeeze coffee out of the used filters from a coffee-maker after said boyfriend quits. Karen then proceeds to lecture him about dealing with the problem... [[ImmuneToDrugs while washing down a pill with a martini]].
-->'''Karen''': Ok, ok, it's over. Now, listen to me. (gets out a pill) The first thing you have to do is admit that you have a problem. (swirls the pill in her martini) Because if you can't even recognize the signs... (drops the wet pill into her mouth) Then you are really in sorry shape. (washes down the pill)Oh, mmm! (to the martini glass) Why are you so good to me?
** Also, when discussing Karen dumping [[Series/ThirtyRock Jack Donaghy]]:
--->'''Karen''': Well, you know me. If there's one thing I cannot do, it is hurt another person's feelings.
--->'''Jack''': That is so true, Karen. You do have a kind heart.
--->'''Karen''': ''(pause)'' I'm sorry, honey. I don't what it is, but your faggy little voice is just going right through me today.
** And then when discussing the incompetent Middle Eastern woman Grace has hired:
--->'''Grace''': You know what? You're never going to understand. I mean, the fact is, I'm tolerant. And you are...well, maybe a little bit racist.
--->'''Karen''': How dare you call me a racist! A homophobe? Maybe. Distrustful of Spaniards? Who isn't? But nobody calls me a racist. And you can ask anyone I own.
* ''The Ferguson Theory'' (a BBC Scotland sketch show starring Creator/CraigFerguson before he moved to the US) had a sketch in which a character criticised evidence of racism in the British government, before concluding "But what do you expect from the bloody English?"
* From ''Series/WhatILikeAboutYou'':
--> '''Val:''' I can be spontaneous. Right now I'm going to come up with a list of spontaneous things to do. I'm gonna need some graph paper.
* Music/TaylorSwift wrote a musical monologue when she hosted ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' (November 7, 2009). The song consists of her talking about stuff she likes, the [[{{Jerkass}} douchebags]] in her life, who she may or may not be dating now, but she ends each verse with "I'm not gonna talk about X in my monologue."
* One of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Everett Kenny Everett's]] running characters was 'Mr Angry of Mayfair', a city gent who would usefully appear to complain about the filth on TV, only to reveal at the end that he was dressed in women's underwear.
* ''Series/{{Life On Mars|2006}}'': While on a drug-related case with Sam, Gene admits that his brother was an addict and that he could never understand why. Sam mentions that addiction is usually a sign of something missing at home.
--> '''Gene''': Yeah, but me and 'im were brought up exactly the same. I'm not addicted. ''(Takes a drink from his hip-flask)''.
* From ''Series/YesMinister'': "In politics you have to learn to say things with tact and finesse, you berk."
* In the ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode "The Jimmy", Jerry asked Kramer "Do you really feel the need to use a lot of obscenities at the dentist's office?" It's interesting because Jerry once used a [[Franchise/StarTrek colorful metaphor]] to describe how good his yogurt was.
** In another episode, George complains about being set up on a blind date with a bald woman. [[DontExplainTheJoke George is bald.]]
* ''Series/TheWeirdAlShow'' episode 11, in reference to another in-universe show host parodying him:
-->'''[[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Al]]''': How awful! How heartless! How could anyone sink so low as to do a PARODY of another human being??
* In his debut episode of ''Series/TheFlash'', the Trickster is about to chainsaw a woman in half in front of an "audience" of mannequins.
-->'''Megan Lockhart''': Go to hell!
-->'''Trickster''': Watch your language--this is a family show!
-->''(The Flash runs in and pushes her out of the way at superspeed)''
-->'''Trickster''': ... the hell are ''you''?
* On ''McLeodsDaughters'', Claire chastises Jodie for believing that she's been cursed for tearing up a chain letter, saying that there is no justification for superstition. She immediately proceeds to knock a container of salt and throws it over her shoulder.
* On an episode of ''Radio/HelloCheeky'', Denis addresses the camera.
-->'''Denis:''' Hi, fans. It's me again -- Mr. Lovable. ''(turns to other band members)'' Will you shut up when I'm talking?!
* ''The 5 Mrs. Buchanans'' : In the episode ''"Heart of the Matter?"'' Roy agrees not to play in an alumni football game because his wife, Alex, believes he will get hurt. When Mother Buchanan (the family's domineering matriarch) finds out, she is furious. She insists that Roy play in the game to uphold the Buchanan family tradition. When Roy mentions that Alex doesn't want him to, Mother Buchanan tells him, ''"Roy Buchanan, I did not raise you to be dictated to by some overbearing woman."''
* ''Series/GimmeABreak'': When Nell's sister, Loretta, got married, it was announced that their mother would move to California to live with Nell, something that Nell desperately DID NOT WANT. In one scene, Nell tried to talk Chief Kanisky out of letting her mother live with them, by asking him, ''"Do you know what it would be like to have some pushy, loud-mouthed, know-it-all black lady move into your house and take over?!"'' After a pause, the Chief replied, ''"Yeah."''
* ''Series/StargateSG1'' gives us a relatively subtle example with a Chinese ambassador attending a meeting at Stargate Command. During a recess, he disapproves of the US' secrecy concerning the Stargate, then says with absolutely ''no irony'', "The Chinese government does not believe in keeping secrets from its people." Nobody comments on that, save for a disbelieving glance from the Russian general standing right behind him.
* Movie critic Richard Roeper, jokingly. Watch out for the end of his The Greatest Movie Ever Sold [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY7hhbl7v18 review]], right after saying "I mean, come on, some of us still have our integrity!"
* In the first time presenting a show on commericial television Andrew Denton pretends to ring up the head of the network to complain about how often the ad breaks are. He was formally on the Australian government-run ABC which has no ad breaks. We only hear his part of the conversion and it ends like this:
'''Andrew Denton''' They make how much money?
<turns to camera>''' And we'll be back after these important messages'''
* Creator/DisneyChannel. Every single Live Action television series and every episode of that series. Almost every single joke cracked in it will be Hypocritical Humor.
* In episode of the [[Made in Canada]] a.k.a. "The industry" Richard Strong tells the star of their most popular show to get hiar replacement surgury in Mexico, where it's much cheaper. Cut to a report of him dying of post-operative infection "I begged him not to get those hair implants.".

[[folder:Music]]
* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u1sX5IQ088 The Dumb Song]]'' by Psychostick
* On Music/TomLehrer's ''That Was The Year That Was'', before the "National Brotherhood Week" song:
-->'''Lehrer''': I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another, and I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings and ''I'' '''''hate''''' ''people like that!''
** His inflections do make it clear that he's {{lampshade|Hanging}}ing the trope, though.
** For that matter, the whole joke of the song is based around the idea that a country with all the racial problems of America would set aside a week for brotherhood and tolerance -- as the song says, "Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!"
*** Or indeed, as he notes in the other part of the opening monologue: "This year, on the first day of the week Malcolm X was killed, which should give you an idea of how effective the whole thing is."
* ''AudioPlay/StanFrebergPresentsTheUnitedStatesOfAmerica, Part 1'' did the same joke in "Take An Indian To Lunch":
-->Let's give in and all do the brotherhood bit\\
Just make sure we don't make a habit of it\\
Take an Indian to dine this week\\
Show him we don't drawn the line this week\\
We know ev'ryone can't be\\
As American as we\\
(After all, we came over on the Mayflower!)
* Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, "Thou Shalt Always Kill":
-->Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music.\\
Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music.\\
Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music.\\
Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music.
* Music/{{Korn}}'s "Y'All Want A Single" is a TakeThat against the music industry. The music video is filled with protesting captions ("One Corporation Owns The 5 Major Video Channels In The U.S./ Is That OK?"; "Hit Songs On TOP 40 Are Often REPEATED Over 100 Times A Week", )... two of which resemble the song itself("90% Of All Songs Get To "The Hook" Within 20 Seconds./ 98% Of All # 1 Singles Are Less Than 3 Minutes and 30 Seconds Long."- the song is 3:17, and hits the hook at 0:17...), and the following one makes an... appropriate comment ("Does This Seem Like A Formula To You?"). Whether it's serious or humorous, it's up to you.
** They wrote the song after [[ExecutiveMeddling the record company asked them for a marketable single late in the production of the album]], so yes, there's some humor there.
* Music/RoyZimmerman's ''To Be A Liberal'', possibly referencing Lehrer:
-->And at yoga today\\
I got bent out of shape\\
'Cos the guy doing bow-pulling pulls next to me\\
Was intolerant\\
Which I hate
* Music/WeirdAlYankovic did this beautifully in "Amish Paradise."
-->Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?\\
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art!
** Another example from him is "Achy Breaky Song", which uses the same tune as the song it's complaining about.
** As well, "[[DigitalPiracyIsEvil Don't Download This Song]]" deserves mention. The song itself doesn't seem that hypocritical, aside from the massive irony coming from the insane amounts of SlipperySlopeFallacy. Where does the hypocritical humor come in? Weird Al made the song [[DigitalPiracyIsOkay available for download]] on his Myspace page a few weeks before the release of the song.
* Monty Python's song "Never Be Rude to an Arab" starts off advising the listener to be racially tolerant, but informs you which races you should be tolerant to using racially abusive slurs.
* In the [[EvolvingMusic original version]] of [[Music/HelloProject Morning Musume's]] Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari Takahashi Ai denies the claim that she still has her strong Fukui accent. She does so in Fukui-ben.
* In one verse of Ben Folds Five's "Uncle Walter", the title character gives "a 50 minute lecture" about the dangers of smoking marijuana with "tobacco juice rolling off his chin".
* In ALL CAPS BAND's song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svFd7GxkVvo "Slushie in the Face"]], Luke sings that "cool kids don't sing."
* Mclusky's "Fuck This Band":
-->Fuck this band
-->'Cause they swear too much
-->It's an obvious ploy
-->And irresponsible
* Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZEKp9Mp9Io "Peace and Quiet"]]: a hymn to the joys of calm and silence, and decrying the noise of the modern world. Which gets steadily louder, and ''louder'', and '''''LOUDER'''''...
* Music/BobDylan winkingly sings "you're sick of all this repetition" in the middle of the very repetitiously-structured [[http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/queen-jane-approximately "Queen Jane Approximately"]]
* Music/GogolBordello's "Illumination" features the line "Of course there is no us and them / but them they do not think the same..."
* ''Jesus He Knows Me'' by Music/{{Genesis}} is about an unscrupulous televangelist. The hypocrisy is even more obvious in the video.
-->I believe in the family with my ever loving wife beside me
-->but she don't know about my girlfriend or the man I met last night
-->...
-->Won't find me practising what I'm preaching, won't find me making no sacrifice
-->But I can get you a pocketful of miracles, if you promise to be good, try to be nice
-->God will take good care of you, just do as I say, don't do as I do
* A meta example could be those artists who insist that the authorities crack down on piracy so nobody steals their songs about being a wild outlaw who has no time for the police and sticks it to the man.
* In "The Return of Sathington Willoughby" by Primus, there's a line about how "Paranoia is a disease unto itself." This is immediately followed up with a warning that "The person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution."
* Tool's "Hooker with a Penis":
-->I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s, and a
-->Dope Beastie T, nipple rings, new tattoos
-->That claimed that he was OGT,
-->back from '92, the first EP.
-->And in between sips of Coke he told me
-->That he thought we were selling out
-->Laying down, sucking up to the man.
* ''Knorkator's'' "Kinderlied" (children song) is about the exploitation of the children of celebrities. It's sung by the song writers young son. [[SelfDeprecation Played for laughs]] by making their fathers sound like washed up musicians who have lost all their dignity and not yet realized that nobody cares for them anymore.
* The Green Bay Packers fan-song "Da Bears Still Suck" makes fun of the Chicago Bears for (among other things), having only won a single Super Bowl, This despite the fact that at the time the song was recorded, the Packers themselves had only a single Vince Lombardi trophy.
** [[FridgeLogic ...Wait, did one go missing or something?]] They ''did'' win the first ''two'' Super Bowls.
* [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Simon & Garfunkel's]] "A Simple Desultory Phillipic" has this gem of a verse.
-->He's so unhip when you say Dylan
-->He thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas
-->Whoever he was.
-->The man ain't got no culture
* Celldweller's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd6udWA6a-M The Lucky One]]" has the line "Lucky for me I don't believe in luck."
* Chris de Burgh's song "Patrica the stripper" has the police arrested the title character, then cheering and crying out for more when she later strips in the courtroom.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Newspaper Comics]]
* A standard comic strip tactic, as it makes for a quick and neat four-panel gag:
** In an old ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' [[http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2000-11-10/ comic]]:
--->'''PointyHairedBoss''': (handing back a paper to Alice) Thanks, hun.\\
'''[[StrawFeminist Alice]]''': Hon!? YOU SEXIST # @$! I SHALL BURN DOWN YOUR VILLAGE AND MAKE SLAVES OF YOUR CHILDREN!\\
'''PHB''': It's short for 'Attila the Hun'. Everyone calls you that.\\
'''Alice''': That seems a bit harsh.
** Also, in yet another Dilbert strip, PHB is reading the newspaper comics section and remarks, "Hee hee! Look at the hair on that guy!"
*** For bonus points, it's implied he's reading ''Dilbert'' itself.
* About 2/3rds of the punchlines in ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'' use this, by way of demonstrating how (theoretically) adorably flawed the characters are. Happens a lot to ''ComicStrip/{{Cathy}}'', too.
* Occurs a number of times in ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes''. In one example, Calvin [[CharacterFilibuster rants for three panels]] about people who complain too much. Hobbes replies "Maybe they're not very self-aware", to which Calvin replies "Boy, that's ''another'' thing that gets on my nerves!".
** Another example is when they discuss Calvin's Saturday morning habits. Then Hobbes ask to Calvin if he doesn't fear that so much violence (in TV) desensitizes him to which Calvin replies something like "Nah, I'd like to shoot the idiots who think this stuff affects me".
** Yet another, in one strip Calvin relates to Hobbes how his grandfather hates comics these days because they're just talking heads... while their characters don't change a bit the whole strip.
** Still another (Watterson loved this gag):
--->'''Calvin''': You know why birds don't write their memoirs? Because birds don't lead epic lives, that's why! Who'd want to read what a bird does? Nobody, that's who!
--->(BeatPanel)
--->'''Calvin''': This is changing the subject, but have you ever noticed how somebody can say something totally loony and not be aware of it? What are you supposed to do, just let it slide??
--->'''Hobbes''': Sometimes, if you wait, he'll top himself.
--->'''Calvin''': I say just punch 'im then and there!
** There's another incident that twists this trope slightly. Calvin is arguing with his parents about having to sit at the dinner table instead of eating in front of the TV. His father says that this is the one time where all distractions can be put aside and they can just enjoy each other's company...right before the phone rings and the mom leaves to talk. Calvin sort of lampshades this trope by saying, "Go on, Dad. I believe you were saying something funny."
* In ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'', when Garfield watches TV: " Only an idiot would watch a show this bad. ''(switches channel)'' It was a rerun anyway."
** A similar 1979 strip has Garfield slapping Jon - hard - to force him to change the channel because Garfield doesn't like violence on TV.
** In another strip, Garfield kicks Jon. Jon attempts to get his own back by spraying Garfield with a hose, but Garfield appreciated it because it was a hot day. Jon then kicks Garfield back....so Garfield ties Jon up violently with the hose.
** One strip has Jon getting into an argument with his failed date and she tells him how immature he's acting. Jon yells back "I am not immature!"; once she leaves he proceeds to sit back and suck his thumb.
* The old strip ''They'll Do It Every Time'' was all about lampshading everyday hypocrisy. A typical strip, for example, might show a parent admonishing a child not to speak at the table in the first panel, then show the same parent loudly holding forth among other adults at a dinner party in the second panel.
* ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus'' had one strip with the mum admonishing Billy "I've told you a million times not to exaggerate".
* ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'':
** More than once: A group of officers gathered to judge a breach of the dress code criticise it while wearing an array of pretty random clothes themselves. Also other similar cases. Perhaps more often, it's done the other way around, with three parties, not getting as far as the trope: A tries to complain about B's behaviour X to their superior C, but it turns out C is doing X himself.
** Another one used in several variants: A criticises B for their hobby or obsession or habit, only to return to their own room/bunk, where they have a similar collection of things/arrangement going on set around another theme. For example, Corporal Yo notes Sarge's huge collection of food-related electronics before returning to his own room full of different electronics. Or Sarge says it's weird of Beetle to collect comics, only to have someone else point out his own shelf full of beer cans.
** General Halftrack's "Have you gone mad! I'm an airplane!" (He'd been hypnotised.)

[[folder:Radio]]
* Digger, a caller on the Australian football radio show ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coodabeen_Champions The Coodabeen Champions]]'', had the CatchPhrase "I never complain about umpires, but...", before immediately launching into a rant about how the umpires had "crucified" his team.
* In one episode of ''Radio/ImSorryIllReadThatAgain'', the wildly incomprehensible caricature of sports commentator Eddie Waring is speaking to a German with a mild accent.
-->'''Eddie:''' [[FunetikAksent Hah-ar, well, 'e's certainly gorra' fonny accent--]]I'm sure you could understan' what 'e was sayin', and if you can't, well, you'll jus' hafta barra scradley scrive, ya know!
* In the surrealish sitcom ''At Home With The Hardys'', Kit and Jeremy are having an argument.
-->'''Kit:''' Oh my god--you are ''such'' a hypochondriac!
-->'''Jeremy:''' I am not a hypochondriac, and stop shouting at me, you're making me ill!
* Sandi Toksvig making jokes about Andy Hamilton's height on ''TheNewsQuiz''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Religion]]
* Literature/TheBible - Numbers 12:3 goes, ''Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth''. And who wrote Numbers? That's right. (Justified, in that the Biblical concept of humility is attributing all success to God rather than your own abilities.)
** Double Justified, given how resistant he was to being a prophet and leader multiple times (which gave him vast power), and also the power he initially lost as part of the life he had in the ruling family, to then be a serf, it actually fit his history. If nothing else, 40 years of migration, in a desert, with ungrateful people, all depending on God, and knowing you'll die before even reaching your goal after all that, will humble someone a bit.
** Also, there's the simple fact that the word "humble" has multiple meanings. It is often used to mean someone who has a low, or at least not high, opinion of himself. But it can also refer to the material circumstances in which someone lives, as in the phrases "be it ever so humble, there's no place like home" or "humble abode." The Bible may simply be referring to the fact that Moses lived in humble circumstances, because he had not used his position to enrich himself, or otherwise enjoy the perks that usually come with power. And there are still other meanings of "humble" besides that.
* The parable of the pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18 is a straight example of this trope. The pharisee loudly praises himself for not being like that filthy tax collector over there while the tax collector doesn't even dare to lift his eyes to heaven and simply prays, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Stand-Up Comedy]]
* In one of his stand-up routines Irish comedian Ed Byrne noted that there was an increasing strain of anti-immigration rhetoric entering Irish society ... before pointing out that, given the prominent history of Irish immigration to other countries, the Irish might not have much of a leg to stand on about this:
-->'''Ed Byrne:''' You cheeky bastards! What kind of brass balls do you have, as an Irish person, to complain about immigration? We've been populating the globe ever since we worked out how to get into a boat!
* Russell himself, from ''Series/RussellHowardsGoodNews''.
--> '''Russell:''' (After a clip of someone accidently break their arm) What twat breaks his arm like that?
--> Que Russell looking down at his broken wrist and hand.
* From Creator/WoodyAllen's stand-up routines. "My ex-wife was childish. See if you don't think this is childish. She'd come into the bathroom when I was having a bath, and sink my ships"

[[folder:Theatre]]
* The song "Class" in ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}'', sung by Velma and the Matron, decries the degradation of society's values while being chock full of swearing, insults, and references to bodily functions. The characters singing it are a murderess and a corrupt prison warden no less.
** And they follow up the song with reading a fellow inmates private diary.
* In ''Theatre/TrialByJury'', the Usher instructs the Jury on the "stern judicial frame of mind" necessary for conducting an impartial trial:
-->Oh, listen to the plaintiff's case:\\
Observe the features of her face -\\
The broken-hearted bride.\\
Condole with her distress of mind:\\
From bias free of every kind\\
This trial must be tried!\\
...\\
And when amid the plaintiff's shrieks\\
The ruffianly defendant speaks\\
Upon the other side;\\
What ''he'' may say you needn't mind-\\
From bias free of every kind\\
This trial must be tried!
** For that matter, the Learned Judge declares himself "ready to try this breach of promise of marriage" immediately after gloating that he owed his successful career to committing a breach of promise of marriage.
* King Gama in ''Theatre/PrincessIda'':
-->If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am:\\
I'm a genuine philanthropist, all other kinds are sham.\\
Each little fault of temper and each social defect\\
In my erring fellow-creatures, I endeavour to correct.\\
To all their little weaknesses I open people's eyes;\\
And little plans to snub the self-sufficient I devise;\\
I love my fellow creatures, I do all the good I can ;\\
Yet ev'rybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!\\
And I can't think why!
* The bigoted Senator Rawkins in ''Theatre/FiniansRainbow'' grumbles that his family has had trouble with immigrants ever since they came to America, and also says that he's been so busy defending the United States Constitution that he hasn't the time to read it.
* In ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', when Romeo offers the Nurse money for being a go-between, her line is "Nay, sir; not a penny." Many stagings have her take the proffered money as she says this.
* Speaking of Shakespeare, the tragedy ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' gives us the famous line "Brevity is the soul of wit" which is spoken by Polonius... as he rambles on and on and on just to hear himself talk.
** In fact, Polonius's entire speech is an example of this trope, with virtually every bit of fatherly advice being something he himself fails at. Hamlet calls him on this multiple times in his bizarre doubletalk.
* In ''Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice'', this is a running gag, with Launcelot Gobbo saying things like "To be brief", "Tears exhibit my tongue", and "I have ne'er a tongue in my head"...only to go off on an extended ramble each time. Solanio is also guilty, following the common Shakespeare gag of failing to get to the point:
--> '''Solanio:''' But it is true, without any slips of prolixity, or crossing the plain highway of talk, that the good Antonio, the honest Antonio--oh, that I had a word good enough to keep his name company...
* This is the trope on which run most of Molière's plays, so much so that "Theatre/{{Tartuffe}}" has become another word for "{{hypocrite}}" in French.
** ''Theatre/TheMiser'' has [[TheScrooge the greedy Harpagon]], upon hearing a request for payment, complain about how everyone around him are obsessed with money.
* ''Theatre/KnickerbockerHoliday'' makes a RunningGag out of the corruption and hypocrisy of politicians, but Stuyvesant in his NewEraSpeech is particularly blatant about it. He denounces the council as the most "preposterous, muddle-headed, asinine, crooked, double-dealing, venal, vicious, fat-headed group of men" ever in charge of a country, then immediately pauses to politely shake hands with one council member. At the end, he tells the people of New Amsterdam they will be consulted in all future political decisions, then dismisses them to talk with the council.
* In ''{{Theatre/Pygmalion}}'', Henry Higgins, after bein told by his maid not to swear in front of Eliza, retorts:
---> I never swear. I detest this habit. What the devil do you mean?
* Lampshaded in the 2012 all-female Chalmers{{spex}}, a rich businessman's daughter, Cristal Hilton, wants to invest in an invention, and can make the choice between the cinematoscope (made by the Brothers Lumiére) or the kinetoscope (Thomas Edison). (To all the historians currently grinding their teeth -- remember, [[YouFailHistoryForever artistic license]] and RuleOfFunny.) Since her sister is on good terms with the Lumiére brothers, she invests in the cinematoscope. Then, when she and her sister wind up on bad terms, she shifts sides to the kinetoscope out of spite -- then, when they make up again, she promises to invest in the cinematoscope.
-->'''Cristal:''' Oh, and, yeah, Tommy-boy...I just wanted to say I'm investing in the cinematoscope after all.
-->'''Edison:''' What!?
-->'''Cristal:''' No hard feelings, right?
-->'''Edison:''' Ms. Hilton, I must protest--to shift sides like that is unethical, it's immoral, it's very, very ''dishonest''!
-->'''Cristal:''' Yeah, but, like--I shifted to your side before, didn't I?
-->'''Edison:''' That was different! That was to my advantage!
* In the second act of ''Theatre/WaitingForGodot'', Vladimir tells Estragon that they should just stop talking and act...and spends the next page repeating this instruction.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* From ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'':
-->'''Khelgar Ironfist''': Prejudiced? I'm not prejudiced! By the Nine Hells, I even travel with a back-stabbing tiefling of all things, and [[YouKnowWhatTheySayAboutX you know how her kind are]]!
* ''Videogame/TeamFortress2'''s [[TheMedic Medic]] has an unlockable weapon called the [[BlatantLies Solemn Vow]] it's a bust of Hippocrates which you beat people to death with (with "Do No Harm" labelled on it no less).
** Really, plenty of the teams' domination lines are like this as well.
* On the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros. Brawl'' website, Sakurai posted how he would not post shots of female characters' underpants. Then on the Japanese screenshots list, there's a picture of [[PantyShot Peach's dress falling over her head, her panties in clear view]]. (that was probably the localizer talking, but it's still funny)
* While most likely a developer oversight, when [[spoiler:you are captured]] in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'', you can lie and say you don't care about Carth/Bastila [[spoiler:during a torture session]] but the [[spoiler:torturer]] will claim it is an obvious farce because you traveled half way across the galaxy with them. [[spoiler:Considering he was the mentor of one of the people he is torturing]]...
** ''KOTOR II'' has this meta-example from its own endgame:
---> [[spoiler:'''Sion:''' You... seek to erode my will. You will not succeed.\\
''[You have eroded Sion's will, reducing his Will saves, Constitution, and Wisdom.]'']]
* An unintentional example comes from ''VideoGame/{{Oddworld}}: Munch's Oddyssy'', part of a series where corporations are the ultimate, world-destroying evil... [[ProductPlacement except for delicious, life-restoring Sobe!]]
** OWI said in the manual that they did a thorough investigation of Sobe's history of human rights and such before "proudly" advertising for them in-game.
* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' example: In the "South of the Border" zone, one of the encounters is a cock-fight. You can bet on the favorite, bet on the other one, or walk away. If you choose to walk away, you get this text:
-->This flagrant display of cruelty to living creatures disgusts you. You decide to head back to the Icy Peak and eviscerate some more Yetis.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 2|SonsOfLiberty}}'', [[MagnificentBastard Revolver]] [[GambitRoulette Ocelot]] had the balls to accuse [[DeathSeeker Fortune]] of being a LargeHam. If you'll remember how he was throughout the entire series...
* In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]] dismisses [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] as "just another sadist with a god complex. Like THAT's anything special!" Being the story's MetaGuy as well as an honorary "sadist with god complex" himself, Kefka seems fully aware of (and amused by) this hypocrisy.
** Also in Dissidia, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Quistis]] is the ingame tutor for equippable items, and stresses its importance. When you realise that her origin game ''doesn't'' make use of equipment outside of weapon upgrades...
* In ''VideoGame/BioShock2's'' Multiplayer mode, noticeably overweight bourbon magnate Buck Raleigh sometimes has this to say while researching a fallen enemy: "Gotta be ''fit'' to survive down here, friend!"
* A cute example of this trope can be found in ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheUnwoundFuture''. Both Layton's apprentice Luke and his adopted daughter Flora strongly dislike being away from him; Luke feels it's his duty to always watch Layton's back, while Flora has separation anxiety. At one point in the game, Layton disappears for a brief period.
-->'''Luke:''' I hope we find the Professor soon...
-->'''Flora:''' Poor thing! You're just lost without him, aren't you, Luke?
-->'''Luke:''' You're a fine one to talk!
* There's this little gem from ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'':
-->'''Signpost:''' Preserve our beautiful scenery! Please refrain from posting signs.
* Edge from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' claims that in order to develop the kind of speed he possesses, it is necessary to run 10km every morning. However, he admits that he himself does not practice running at all.
* This hilarious conversation from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', between two random [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy krogan]]:
-->'''Krogan 1:''' C-Sec won't let you into the Presidium?
-->'''Krogan 2:''' No, they say I'm a "risk."
-->'''Krogan 1:''' They say that about all krogan.
-->'''Krogan 2:''' Damn turians. We should kill them all.
** "You humans are all racist!"
** '''Ken:''' We can't complain. I just wish it didn't take so long to recalibrate the FBA couplings.
-->'''Gabby:''' Kenneth, you're complaining.
** '''Ken:''' I won't bore you with the tech, but there's an array of attenuators built into the ship's primary backup systems -
-->'''Gabby:''' Kenneth, you're boring the Commander with tech.
* Creator/BioWare put another hypocritical gem in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': [[WellIntentionedExtremist Anders]], who is fanatically devoted to [[FantasticRacism freedom for mages]], says of the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Qunari]]: "Qunari give me the creeps. How could anyone be that fanatically devoted to an abstract ideal?"
* In the LadyLand level in ''VideoGame/OverlordRaisingHell'' Gnarl makes a comment about how ladies should StayInTheKitchen only to follow it up with an IsThisThingStillOn moment revealing that while you're out being evil he is apparently making [[SpotOfTea tea and biscuits]] for your mistress.
* There's an instance of this that's fairly easy to miss, early on in ''VisualNovel/{{Apollo Justice|AceAttorney}}''. The defendant in the first trial remarks " As I expected. Your eyes and ears are as sharp as your hair." to Apollo... but, if you recall, [[spoiler: the defendant is Phoenix, who's rather legendary in the court for having spiky hair.]]
** He probably meant it as a compliment, [[spoiler:given how proud he was of his own hair.]]
** From ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Trials & Tribulations]]'':
--->'''Franziska:''' Listen, Phoenix Wright! It's impertinent to call people by their full name!
--->'''Phoenix:''' I was only copying you.
** Also in a relatively serious moment, when after discussing how [[spoiler:Matt Engarde is indeed guilty and is blackmailing Phoenix]], Edgeworth says people deserve a "proper defense."
-->'''Phoenix''': "Proper defense?" But what exactly is that? Is it where a lawyer forcibly and blindly gets an acquittal through shouting and trickery?
-->'''Edgeworth''': ...*sigh* [[LampshadeHanging Ironic that you of all people should say such a thing. Isn't that exactly how you have fought for your clients up until now]]?
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' series, SelfDemonstrating/{{GLaDOS}} often tells you that you're adopted and fat. Once [[spoiler:Wheatley performs his FaceHeelTurn]] in the second game, he says the same thing, but [=GLaDOS=] responds with this:
-->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' And?
-->'''[[spoiler:Wheatley]]:''' What?
-->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' What, exactly, is wrong with being adopted?
-->'''[[spoiler:Wheatley]]:''' W-what's wrong with being adopted? Ummm... lack of parents--
-->'''[=GLaDOS=]:''' ''[Whispering]'' For the record, you ''are'' adopted, [[AndThatsTerrible and that's terrible]]. Just work with me. ''[Normal voice]'' Also, look at her, you moron, she's not fat.
** When you reunite with [=GLaDOS=] she calls you a monster for killing her, even though she's the [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal same silicon sadist]] who tried to kill YOU in the first game.
* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'': Saddler mentions that "[[AmericaSavesTheDay the American prevailing]]" is a cliché that only happens in movies. He then says that he is going to awaken Leon from his "world of clichés", before [[OneWingedAngel turning into a giant monster]] [[GoForTheEye with obvious weak points]].
* ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'': "I guess even kids can become heroes in Japan. That must be one crazy country." Well, then, [[VideoGame/DeadRising Frank]], how about your own country?
* In ''VideoGame/UltimaVI'', you have to determine who is the most humble person in New Magincia (which has humility as its Hat) in order to receive the Rune of Humility. Practically everyone will boast about their humility and list the luxuries they've given up and the lowly and humble tasks they've taken up, to prove how exceptionally humble they are. The one exception is the fisherman, who doesn't care about it but is fairly sure he's not particularly humble. You can probably work out the rest.
* In ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsHitAndRun'':
-->'''Comic Book Guy''': Videogames, [[SelfDeprecation what a waste of money]]. Now to go online and bid $1,000 on Itchy & Scratchy corn-cob holders! A terrific, terrific expense.
* Quite common in the ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'' series. For instance, in ''Postal 2'', the first hate group you come across is "Parents for Decency", a group of parents who are opposed to violent video games. They attempt to stop the creation of such games by storming the Running With Scissors offices with guns, after that point they will open fire on the player without provocation, and much later in the game you can find a group of them playing arcade games in the mall.
* In the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' [=RPG=]s, Red, Blue, Yellow, Leaf Green and Fire Red, there are [[ConsoleCameo SNESs]] situated beside [=TV=]s in the Celadon Department Store. When you examine one of them the text reads "An RPG! There's no time for that!"
* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', there are a few examples.
** Kenji says "as expected of blind people" in reference to Lilly. Hisao then asks if it includes Kenji, and Kenji points out that he's only legally blind.
** An exchange with Misha and Shizune's father, Jigoro.
-->'''Jigoro''': And another thing, you do not have to be so loud. I do not like being shouted at.
-->'''Misha''': What? Shouting~? I'm not shouting~!
-->''Hisao briefly notes how hypocritical Jigoro is being''
-->'''Misha''': Ow~! My ears hurt~!
-->'''Jigoro''': WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?
** Jigoro also scolds Hisao for making assumptions about him, yet he constantly makes assumptions of Hisao being, for instance, a glue-huffing delinquent.
** In Act 1, Shizune scolds Rin for sleeping on the tables of the art room. In Shizune's route, she and Hisao ''have sex'' in the Student Council room.
* This exchange from ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'', during Glottis's introduction:
-->'''Glottis:''' It's not just a job, it's what I was created to do! If I get any farther away from a car than this, I'll get sick and die! It's like I'm not happy unless I'm breathing in the thick, black, nauseating fumes!
-->'''[[DeadpanSnarker Manny]]:''' [=*takes a very long drag of his cigarette*=] I can't imagine...
* [[VideoGame/FatalFury Mai Shiranui]] eventually started to incorporate this a lot in her spinoff appearances like ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' and ''VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum''
** She sometimes comments negatively on other female characters' choice of revealing outfits, as well on Joe (and Hwa Jai) for wearing only boxers. When she is criticized for (or reminded of) her extremely {{Stripperiffic}} outfit, she says that her case is different as hers is "traditional garb passed down from [her] ancestors!"; however, the fact that she is ocassionally seen wearing something very revealing outside of the ring doesn't help her case.
** Related to her HighlyVisibleNinja status, she has this quote against [[VideoGame/WorldHeroes Hanzo and Fuuma]]: "You pseudo-ninja! A true ninja's a shadow, stoic and... Uh, well, bite my tongue!"
** Andy Bogard also had one in KOF '96: "In fighting, concentration is... uh... hmmm... gee, I forgot."
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* Strong Bad of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' is a GrammarNazi... which doesn't stop the fact that his grammar and spelling isn't perfect either. He has also said that he "doesn't wear underwear"... which has been proven wrong [[ComedicUnderwearExposure numerous times]].
** Also, in ''VideoGame/StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople: 8-Bit is Enough'', Strong Bad says that [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames "licensed games are never good"]], despite the fact that [=SBCG4AP=] ''is'' a licensed game.
*** In ''Baddest of the Bands'', Marzipan complains about people who ruin the environment... as she tosses litter on the ground.
** In [=SBEmail=] "webcomic", he talks about webcomics that is based on reader input, which he decries as a cop-out, despite his series being just that.
* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles'' Episode 49: "Roaming Charges", this exchange occurs between Tucker and Donut:
--> '''Donut:''' (about Tucker's sword) "Wow, I've never found anything that cool in a hole, [[AccidentalInnuendo and I've explored just about every hole you can think of]]!"
--> '''Tucker:''' "Hey, dude, do me a favor: don't talk like that when I'm [[ADateWithRosiePalms playing with my thing]]."
* [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] did this at the end of his review of ''VideoGame/SilentHillHomecoming''. His rant was even copied and used after the credits of his videos for quite a while as advertising.
--> Fans are clingy complaining dipshits who will never ever be grateful for any concession you make. The moment you shut out their shrill tremulous voices the happier you'll be. Incidentally, why not buy a Zero Punctuation T-shirt?
** Another example of his blatant hypocrisy: In his review of ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', he calls out companies who "get paid to do a job [they] didn't do," and says that they deserve to get sued. As he is going through this rant, he shows that his contract with the Escapist is to "Review Actual Games That Exist," and he himself is breaking that contract.
** Yahtzee uses this throughout his entire series, such as calling out "self-important bearded tosser who read too much into things" and then admitting that he's the biggest one of them all.
** His review of ''[[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Uncharted: Drake's Fortune]]'' focuses largely on the game's UnfortunateImplications. Then during the closing credits he points out, "Note the irony in decrying racism while drawing Asians with slitty eyes".
** His review of ''Super Mario 3D Land'' becomes this when, due to rage over Mario, he decides to review ''Rayman Origins'' instead. His first order of business is to talk about how no one could care about characters whose heads and appendages are disconnected from their bodies... while adding stick limbs to his own, similarly designed characters.

* A couple times in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' it's been pointed out that, while Riff is quick to attack Aylee, Sam, and Gwynn for being possible dangers to humanity, his own MadScientist experiments probably have a better chance of annihilating the human race than anything. As shown in [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080630 this]] strip:
-->'''Riff''': I hope Gwynn learned "Gwynn shouldn't mess with powers beyond her control!" ''(the device in his hands starts beeping)'' Uh-oh. You guys might want to jump up and run away, there may not be time to get a safe distance from the radioactive ... ''(the beeping dies down)'' ... never mind, it fixed itself!
** Kiki the utterly scatterbrained ferret, whose specialty is ComicallyMissingThePoint, sometimes (though rarely, because she tends to be too nice) voices the opinion that other characters, including resident schemers Dr. Schlock and Bun-bun, are "not very smart" or "get confused easily".
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' rather frequently milks this for humor.
** When Schlock, intending to blackmail the clowns at a circus where he's on security detail to get them to cut him in on their illicit brewery, discovers that [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-06-15 his boss]] has already done so (since Schlock outed them several strips prior).
-->'''Security Chef Zysk''': I'd fire you for it, but I'm too drunk to pronounce hippo-whatever.

** General Xinchub [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-03-08 seems to do it on purpose]].
** Also, a conversation with a genetically engineered elephant complaining about not fitting in with humans or elephants falls into this when a character whose main feature is his gigantic nose walks by:
-->'''Corporal Chisulo''': I get so tired of jeers like 'Hey, fatso' or 'Remember me?' or 'Check out the nose on that guy.'
-->'''Aardman''': ''Ahem''.
-->'''Corporal Chisulo''': Whoa! Monkey aardvark!
** Also, [[TheFunInFuneral the "funeral party"]] in ''Royal Flush'':
-->'''Elf''': Captain, I don't care how much you hate somebody... It's just ''wrong'' to bring cake and champagne to their funeral.
-->'''Captain Tagon''': (still happy-dancing) Somebody assassinated King Xinchub last night.
--> (BeatPanel)
-->'''Elf''': I'll fab some party hats, and maybe some of those noisemaker thingies.
** ...and [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-09-21 it's wrong and too macabre]] to watch for lulz how a 'Chub's clone is carved up.
** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-11-18 Kevyn]] decries the use of antimatter grenades. He had a good argument why this doesn't apply to him and [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-05-31 his epaulets]]:
-->'''Kevyn''': The pot is smarter than [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-11-09 the kettle]]. The kettle, in this case, is not "black." It is a diffuse cloud of radioactive meat-vapor.
** Also with a [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-08-31 follow-up]]:
-->'''Kevyn''': You're carrying a poison bomb in your ''mouth?'' Are you crazy?

* ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'' used this several times, e.g. in [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/421 this strip]].
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', either Gil is pretending to do this to fool Tarvek, or [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110429 he's going on about how he doesn't go on about his games to his enemy]]. To his rival/enemy.
** In [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100528 this strip]] Old Man Death begs his granddaughter not to hit him with an expensive sausage because it's too valuable. Guess what he uses as an improvised weapon in the next strip?
** Earlier, Gil castigates Agatha for her poor bedside manner in telling Tarvek that they will [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090819 kill him to cure his lethal illness]]... then he proceeds to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090821 go into detail]].
* At the end of the "Love and Space" arc in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Voluptua announces she will clear Galatea of all the charges against her if Bob can just get her to ''shut up.'' Zippobic chuckles ruefully in the background, as his main problem with Voluptua is her endless speechmaking.
* Done in the 'Victorians' strip (third one down) [[http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=266 here]], in ''Webcomic/HarkAVagrant''.
* In ''Webcomic/AMiracleOfScience'', one of the background characters [[http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos162.html here]] says "no one who is in favor of eugenics should be allowed to reproduce".
* There are a few examples in ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'', but the one that stands out the most is when Angelika complains about being fireblasted and then countering with a magic attack that's [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0093.html virtually unavoidable.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' parodies the ''ComicStrip/MaryWorth'' "[[NewMediaAreEvil Twitter is bad]]" storyline by having Mary complain that you can't convey meaningful information in such a limited format ... over the course of [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-12/08-this-is-so-babies/justabunchofsentence/ a week's worth of two-panel strips]].
** And also with Amber and Ethan [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-12/08-this-is-so-babies/uncanny/ discussing art styles]].
* ''Webcomic/FontesRants'':

* ''Webcomic/AmazingSuperPowers'' had a lot of fun of this [[http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/hc/12072008/ here]] (for those who didn't see ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' yet, that's where the images and long-winded rant style came there).

* [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/05/28/0063-zero-tolerance/ This]] ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' strip has the principal lighting up a cigarette while explaining why drugs--like [[ComicallyMissingThePoint insulin and aspirin]]--are not allowed in school.

* ''Webcomic/RivalAngels'' sees best friends Sabrina and Sun taking in a movie after work, having snuck in their own food and booze. While waiting for the commercials and previews to end, Sabrina falls asleep and starts softly snoring. Sun turns to her and...
-->'''Sun:''' '''QUIT SNORING!! YOU'RE GOING TO GET US CAUGHT!'''
* Webcomic/NotInventedHere: This exchange;
-->'''Owen:''' You're both abrasive, know-it all loudmouths who like yelling and making people wrong.\\
'''Fang:''' *''yelling''* '''''You're wrong and I'll prove it!'''''
* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', uu expresses his hatred for the comic's tendency for long, meandering chatlogs... in the form of a long, meandering chatlog. Naturally, when this is pointed out, he shifts the blame, claiming this as an example of how "[=YOu PEOPLE SuCK ME INTO YOuR BuLLSHIT=]".
** Also happens early on when [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Rose]] assures the readers of her GameFAQs walkthrough that she won't waste their time with PurpleProse...in a spectacularly overly-dramatic, purplish way.
** This exchange between Jane and Dirk's auto-responder is a perfect example:
-->'''TT:''' Everyone needs to get into the game sooner than expected. There is a new unaccounted for variable.\\
'''TT:''' Particularly for Roxy and Dirk.\\
'''GG:''' What is it?\\
'''TT:''' They are probably going to die if they don't join the game very soon.\\
'''GG:''' Shucks!!!!!\\
'''TT:''' Hey, I'm upset about it too, but let's watch the fucking language.
** And then there's this example referencing Jake's AntiquatedLinguistics:
-->'''GT:''' Nor am I a quaint man of the past. [[IResembleThatRemark Pardon me but do i SOUND like some trollycar bellwether toiling in the heart of the mustache belt from the ruff n tumble year of nineteen aught nine???]]
-->'''TT:''' ...
-->'''TT:''' He said unironically.
** Karkat Vantas takes a turn when he spends an entire memo chewing out John and Dave for flirting with troll girls over Pesterchum...then, shortly afterward, his attempt to rip into Jade is interrupted by his own future self showing up to {{white knight|ing}} for her, in a fashion loaded with ShipTease.
--->?TG: ahahahahah oh god\\
?TG: dude i cant believe you were just getting on our case about hitting on the troll girls\\
?TG: and then literally the very next memo you are slobbering all over jade\\
?TG: thats just perfect hahahaha
** Jake gets another, much more elaborate one later on when he sends a long, rambling monologue to Jane... all about how Dirk is too needy, has no idea how to interact with other people due to growing up on his own, and is self-centered enough to keep sending him long, rambling monologues instead of actual conversations. [[ExaggeratedTrope And he has no self-awareness whatsoever!]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Katamari}}'' opens with the Prince accidentally breaking a lamp and his father lecturing him about it. This is, of course, the same KingOfAllCosmos who has destroyed the heavens several times.
-->'''King of All Cosmos:''' We cannot imagine being so reckless around something so precious.
* ''Webcomic/{{Weregeek}}'' had fun with [[http://www.weregeek.com/2012/01/09/ goths and cartoons]] on Dustin's date with a PerkyGoth girl:
-->'''Dustin''': You didn't watch cartoons?
-->'''Ravenia''': Some, but I don't remember much. [[AnimationAgeGhetto Animation is for kids]].
-->'''Dustin''': Um... You ''do'' realize that you're ''wearing'' Lydia's outfit from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} cartoon''?
-->'''Ravenia''': Hey, that's different! It's a Goth classic... like "''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''" or "''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''"!
-->'''Dustin''': Those are ''also'' animated cartoons.
* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'', when Cerise finally managed to catch her minute of glory in Artemis Academy:
-->'''Melissa''': (ThoughtBubble) Cerise... you backstabbed Winters, the only nice person we've met here, just to get popular. How dare you... ''How dare you think of this before me!''
* ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'' gets a couple of those with [[FieryRedhead Cinna]] and [[ProperLady Muneca]].
** Cinna is obsessed with hot men, and would read personal ads in hopes of finding a date.
--->'''Cinna:''' More of those boring and desperate guys. They're no good.
** Muneca wears [[GorgeousPeriodDress Victorian-era dresses]] all the time.
--->'''Daryl:''' Yeah, there are some oriental attires you can try. I can write my to my brother and ask for some catalogues.
--->'''Muneca:''' Perhaps, but I hear that they’re restrictive.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''WebVideo/EchoChamber'' uses this frequently.
** After an episode featuring a TerribleIntervieweesMontage, [[DeadpanSnarker Dana]] claims that {{Terrible Interviewees Montage}}s "are never funny".
** In PsychoExGirlfriend, every claim [[InsufferableGenius Tom]] makes about the trope is contradicted by the events that happen around him.
* Trollvorlord of the ''Blog/{{Bronyism}}'' blog series loudly protests the use of internet slang such as "{{Troll}}" and "{{Meme}}", but uses the terms "pl0x" and "Swag" all the time.
* ''Literature/TalesOfMU'' uses this, both to underscore the UnreliableNarrator (who denies any interest in her classmates' chests and then mentions being so shocked that she looks up and meets their eyes) and to poke fun at the informal writing style, as when Mackenzie mentions her campaign letter containing barely any ellipses.
* [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Dr. Horrible]] does this in SarcasmMode (used as an example on the trope's page): "Wow. Sarcasm. That's original!" He seems to figure it out a second later, judging by the pause and the look on his face after.
* ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', on his Super Mecha Death Christ: '''[[ClusterFBomb "FUCKEEEERRRSS!!! FUCKEEERRRSSS!!!"]]''' When the Nerd utters the words "Holy shit," SMDC turns on him with '''"WATCH YOUR FUCKING LANGUAGE!!!"''' Then again, he may have been taking offense to blasphemy rather than vulgarity.
** In his reviews of the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' films, he comments on Corey Feldman's introduction with "Who wears a costume to play video games?" Cut to a clip from his review of Batman games dressed as Batman.
** Seems it may become a regular thing: while taking us on a tour of his game collection, he's outraged at the condition of some of the used games he's picked up, saying that he always takes care of his games. Cut to him drilling a hole through one in the ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'' review.
** The Angry Video Game Nerd's reason for not using VideoGame/GameGenie on ''{{VideoGame/Castlevania III|DraculasCurse}}'':
---> '''AVGN''': ...because I'm going to do this legit. Now where's that extra lives code? ''(pulls out Magazine/NintendoPower's Top Secret Player's Guide)''
* ''WebVideo/TheGuild'' has a more subtle example. Bladezz's sister asks if any of his internet friends are pervs, and Zaboo, who takes StalkerWithACrush to it's creepiest/most hilarious extreme, immediately replies "No, no one's a perv." with a completely straight face.
* WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment: Noah insults the people who cried at Aerith's death in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', and we cut to him weeping at the opera scene from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''.
** Dr. Insano also complains about the protagonist of ''The Dungeonmaster'' using his computer to fire lasers, saying how ridiculous it would be for him to just start shooting lightning out of his hands shouting SCIENCE!. [[WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} Yeah, about that...]]
** In one of Spoony's Vlogs, he claims that ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' references are played out only to make one in his ''very next video''. He gave a HypocrisyNod in the latter's commentary, though.
* Forms the basis of a lot of the humor in ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se8EVtZeZRw Pete the Puppet]]''.
* ''[[http://twitter.com/Ulysses_Perhero/status/1908013087 Women and children board first. I catch a young man trying to board by way of a lifeboat. Unseemly. I throw him off and take his place.]]''.
* ''MrDeity'': "Who uses "an" with a H-word? That's an horrendous idea."
* In WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Captain N|TheGameMaster}}'' he makes a joke about the creators leaving out a background in a few scenes, saying "I mean seriously, what moron would just have a Plain. White. Background. The whole entire time? [{{Beat}}]. He'd be a fucking idiot." No points for guessing what the background of his show is.
** Later on he reviews a Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} sketch with the basis of its humor based entirely on random shouting.
--> "SCREAMING IN EVERY OTHER SENTENCE IS NOT FUNNY! IT IS LOUD AND ANNOYING! AND ANYONE WHO DOES IT SHOULD BE SHOT! ''[gets shot in the forehead]'' UNSHOT! ''[the wound disappears]'' [[RetroactiveWish AND GIVEN A BAG OF MONEY!]] ''[a bag of money appears in his hands to his surprise. A beat...]'' ...how about some lounge music? ''[lounge music plays]'' Yeah!"
** He does this again in his ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' review.
--> "And is there anything more annoying than someone that just screams every other line they say? I MEAN THAT'S REALLY OBNOXIOUS!"
** During one of the infamous {{padding}} sequences in ''[[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture Star Trek The Motionless Picture]]'', NC comments that this is just "watching a bunch of footage and seeing someone comment on it! Who would want to watch that?"
* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick does this quite a lot, as being a hypocrite who is not actually [[KnowNothingKnowItAll as smart]] or as [[NotSoAboveItAll above it all]] as she likes to believe is at the root of her character.
** While reviewing ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'':
-->"Who's going to be interested in [[DistaffCounterpart a female character who is pretty shamelessly a knock-off of her already popular male counterpart?]] ... heh ... " [pouts]
* [[WebVideo/BumReviews Chester A. Bum]] proved that he would never let out the F-bombs or S-smokes and that he was a Mormon in his AVGN vs NC review. Starting from his ''Film/IronMan2'' review, however...
* Website/ScrewAttack: The Top 10 Zombie Games video has Craig complaining about a continuity error, Then the next game on the list is ranked [[spoiler:upside down # 3 with a # 1 voiceover]].
** Craig put Stryker on the Top 10 Worst ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' Characters list, with one of the reasons being that anyone who wears a backwards cap looks stupid.
* One [[FauxtivationalPoster Demotivational Poster]] had a picture of a stick figure saying "Demotivators that say exactly what the picture says aren't funny". The poster said "DEMOTIVATORS THAT SAY EXACTLY WHAT THE PICTURE SAYS: They aren't funny".
* SeanMalstrom: [[http://seanmalstrom.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/email-those-angry-fans/ "Have you ever worked with a genius?]] They are horrible to work with! It is because they think they are right in everything!" [[SarcasmMode Because you've never acted remotely the same, have you, Sean?]]
* One bit of porn in Kristen's Archive starts out decrying the unrealistic fantasies in the other porns: ''It makes me sick to my stomach when I read the stories in this archive, so I wrote one myself.''
* The BinderOfShame depicts a particularly horrifying game master by the name of Biff Bam. Under his house rules for ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'' "real men have no fear" so "the less sanity points you have, the more gay you are". He actually forces the players to act this out; "You failed your sanity roll again [...] now your character not only has a limp wrist which gives him a [[FunetikAksent dexterosity]] modifier, but he also speaks with a lisp. You better be lisping when you talk, got it?" Over the course of the game, he [[HoYay shamed everyone into stripping to the waist because it was hot in the room and the window was stuck, and enforced his rulings by physically wrestling complainers into submission.]]
* As [[Webcomic/{{Pawn}} Fredrik K.T.Andersson]] [[http://andersson.elfwood.com/Censoring-for-Dummies.3532623.html once]] described CensorBox:
--> How can I show this filth to my friends?!
--> [[CaptainObvious Um... don't?]]
--> '''Nay!''' For it is too good not to show, but too nude to let me do it without fear nor shame!
* TheGamingPixie wraps up her (already FanService-y) [[http://www.gamingpixie.com/122/all-videos/gamereviews/holiday-game-review-metroid/ Metroid review]] by ranting on the best ending's "gratuitous fanservice" for putting Samus in a bikini. Guess what she ends up wearing?
* WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows on Music/LadyGaga: "What kind of person makes some creepy weird video of themselves where you can't see their eyes? That's just crazy!" (Hiding his face is Todd's gimmick.)
** Todd has been stalking WebVideo/ObscurusLupa, despite her continued (and vocal) objections. However, his response to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick repeatedly asking him for a date?
--> "Some people just can't take a Goddamn hint!"
* In an episode of WebVideo/EpicMealTime, Harley calls the audience perverts for wanting to watch a little girl eat the Massive Meat Log—then the reverse angle shows him and all of his friends doing the exact same thing.
* In WebVideo/SuburbanKnights, the BigBad is completely against technology. Saying you are okay with the 21st century in front of his face is generally a good way to die. However, he does own a smartphone. He specifically states that at least he isn't a hypocrite, and it immediately becomes clear that he doesn't actually know what the word means.
* In episode six of ''TheJokerBlogs'', Scarecrow and Joker sit next to each other in the Arkham cafeteria for a while before a ticked-off Joker orders "Mr. Potato Head" to leave.
--> '''Joker''': ''(muttering after him)'' Freak.
* [[WebVideo/WarningReadersAdvisory Derek the Bard]] complains about nerds being around in his Con Bravo video.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vMUvgce_5s This]] Downfall parody on Youtube has [[WebVideo/HitlerRants Hitler ranting]] about how unoriginal it is to make Downfall parodies.
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' does this during the 3D movie. The first thing Yuusei says when he meets another protagonist is "What is wrong with his/your hair?" Which is a good question, but Yuusei [[https://www.google.com/search?q=yuusei&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=Vq8-T_HaGsjy0gGHvNmoBw&biw=1211&bih=643&sei=Y68-T9b-L6H10gGsmo3oBw looks like this]].
** Done earlier when Bandit Keith and Kemo meet:
--->'''Keith''': I've won ten star chips.. [[VerbalTic in America!]]
--->'''Kemo''': [[VerbalTic My hair]] is inviting you to enter the castle!
--->'''Keith''': Don't mind if I do! ''[thinking]'' Man, that guy sure likes talking about his hair.
--->'''Kemo''': ''[thinking]'' Man, that guy sure likes talking about America.
** In Evil Council 5, there's this TakeThat at piracy apologists:
--->'''Steve Luna''': On the Moon, we have evolved beyond stealing! That's why I illegally downloaded ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'': I wanted to see if it was worth paying full price. 60 hours later, I decided that it wasn't.
* {{Subverted|Trope}} in [[http://www.deviantart.com/#/d4pxln1 this comic]] (see its description if you can't figure out why subverted).
* [[http://www.cracked.com/article_18680_political-cartoons-lowest-form-communication.html This]] Website/{{Cracked}}.com illustrates its subject by the way of SelfDemonstratingArticle parody. The hilariously {{anvilicious}} cartoons [[ViewersAreMorons treating the viewers as morons]], "[[InternetColdReader mind reading]]" and spelling out the assumed strawman points and [[ExpoLabel label everything]]. So it shows examples of these, then treats the readers as morons, guessing and spelling out the assumed points reduced to strawmanship and {{anvilicious}}ly comments on what's where and who's what in each case ''[[UpToEleven even more]]''. The point of the article, obviously, ends up perfectly illustrated. By the way, [[RecursiveReality the entry you just read was]] an ExpoLabel...
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYCitKWZ5JE This]] episode of ''WebAnimation/BamanPiderman'' sees Baman at one point accuse Squid of doing nothing but be lazy. It then cuts to a shot of Baman and Piderman lying on the floor doing nothing but reach for a jar of peanut butter.
* In the ''WebVideo/PittsburghDad'' episode "Little League":
-->'''Pittsburgh Dad''': Hey Simmons, quit that trash-talkin'. I remember when we were in high school, you struck out in kickball. Loser!
* "[[http://shirtoid.com/29347/lucky-stars/ Thank my lucky stars I’m not superstitious!]]"
* In ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKPTS4TV'' when Light calls out Near for acting immature:
-->'''Light:''' What are you, ten?
-->'''Near:''' I'm twelve!
** Light insists he's not out to cheat on Misa or have a threesome with Misa and Kiyomi because it's against his morals [[KnightTemplar "...and believe me, I know a lot about morals."]] In the very next scene when [[TransparentCloset Light gets desperate to prove he's straight]] he suggests to Kiyomi that they have threesome with Misa.
** Gevanni ([[spoiler: Raye Penber]]) has this to say to a dying [[AssholeVictim criminal]] [[BystanderSyndrome in his death thoes]] while loudly talking on his cell phone in public:
-->'''Gevanni:''' Are you kidding me?! Dude! I'm on the phone! You're being extremely rude! SHUT UP!
* In the ''Podcast/HouseToAstonish'' 2012 "Homie" awards, Al Kennedy complains about Creator/BrianMichaelBendis's ''All -New Comicbook/XMen'', because Emma Frost's speech patterns have changed so drastically it's like she's being written with a different accent. This is in between the winners being anounced by big name US comic book professionals [[RunningGag with British regional accents]].
* There's a couple instances of this in ''[[WebVideo/DeathNoteAbridgedDogface701 Death Note Abridged (Dogface701)]]'':
-->'''Ryuk:''' Hey Light, there's this big, ugly, scary lookin' guy following you.
-->'''Light:''' Ryuk, for the last time I know you're there!
-->'''Ryuk:''' [[IResembleThatRemark No, not me!]]
** And:
--> '''Light''' (to Ryuk): [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial At least men]] [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday don't think I'm sexy.]]
--> '''Aizawa:''' [[EvenTheGuysWantHim I'm not gay but that Light Yagami is one fine piece of ass.]]
* In ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'', "Now With a Sound Effect", the characters demonstrate MediumAwareness to comment on the improved video quality and lip-synching. Twilight Sparkle's line about the lip-synching plays over a video clip where her mouth isn't moving at all.
* [[http://mayanna.deviantart.com/art/Death-Note-Standards-367584656 This]] ''Manga/DeathNote'' fancomic in which Light speaks out against sexual objectification while 1) demeaning Misa and 2) allowing L to do the very thing he scolds Misa for.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Butch Hartman and his fellow creators of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' set the standard of this trope for kids' cartoons. Invariably, it found its way into ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''.
** ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' could even be considered a meta-example; significant amounts of humor come from the use of outdated slang by adults, making the unintended examples of TotallyRadical an example of this trope.
** Also, a lot of its humor came from making fun of television cliches... and then they added Poof. Those twits.
** ''The Fairly [=OddParents=]'' had a (probably) unintentional example during the "Channel Chasers" episode in which they had a scene mocking ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' also giving it a not-so subtle TakeThat with "Is every adult in this show an idiot?". After all we all know how intelligent the adults can be in this show.
** ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' retains crewmembers who worked on both shows, and naturally the trope.
** ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'', which was created by Butch Hartman, uses this as well. Particularly in the episode "Doomies" in a scene involving the [[ShapeShifting Chameleon]]. As he's disguised as a parking meter to steal all of petropolis' money, a bear puts in a subway token instead of change. Chameleon's response? "Hey! That was a subway token! Honestly, this town is filled with crooks."
* One Nicktoon that makes use of it is ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre''. Quite frankly, finding a cartoon or live-action show on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} that doesn't use it on a frequent basis is a challenge in itself.
** Same goes for the preppy, sitcom-saturated Creator/DisneyChannel.
* Fully described and illustrated via live-action footage by ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'': This situation is most relevant in the episode "Lucky Strike", in where Ms. Li accuses Daria of telling her Mom on her and forcing the Principal on firing one of the substitute teachers in the legal fashion. Ms. Li did make Daria into the 2nd substitute teacher replacement by the way.
--> '''Ms. Li''': "If someone asked me to teach a class, I'd be honored. Besides, we wouldn't be in this fix if it weren't for your mother.
--> '''Daria''': "Yeah, hire one pedophile and she gets all bent out of shape. Besides, I'm not thinking of me. I'm thinking of the children".
* Used extensively on ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', in conjunction with its successive amounts of racial jabs. For example, after foiling the Board of Education's evil plan to make black people fail their SAT tests by producing grape-flavored, mentholated pencils (itself a parody of a well-known conspiracy theory), Foxxy proclaims that there is [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough no way anyone would be stupid enough]] to eat such a thing. However, after taking a whiff, she decides to help herself to a little nibble. Next thing you know, she has her mouth stuffed with a box load of the damn things.
* Commonly used (along with every other broad humour trope known to man) in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
** In the early WesternAnimation/BugsBunny short "Elmer's Pet Rabbit", Bugs Bunny says he'll ''chomp'' starve before he ''chomp chomp'' eats the carrots and ''chomp'' lettuce that's ''chomp chomp chomp'' been put out for him. "You'll ''chomp'' be sorry then!"
** In the short "A Fractured Leghorn", WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn, having been told to shut up by another character, agrees to do so, adding that "I'm not one that has to keep talkin'...some fellas just have to keep their mouths flappin', but not me..." He continues holding forth in this manner, even stopping the picture from [[IrisOut irising out]] in the process.
*** In "Bugs and Thugs", Bugs does the same thing as a stalling tactic, prompting Rocky to snap, "Shut up shuttin' up!" (Also used in the Bugs-Yosemite Sam cartoon "The Fair-Haired Hare".)
** "A Pest in the House" has WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck as a hotel bellhop who repeatedly awakens a tired, ill-tempered guest, leading to said guest repeatedly coming down to the lobby and punching desk clerk Elmer Fudd in the nose. At one point Elmer comes up to the man's room himself to muffle a whistling heat register, and Daffy gives him a dressing-down that gets louder and louder, as the sleeping man begins to stir and Elmer begs him to be quiet:
--->'''Daffy''': So! A fine kettle of fish! Here I work myself down to the skin and bones trying to keep this guy asleep, and what do ''you'' do? Blow whistles! Just when I've got things so quiet you could hear a pin drop, you bust in here and bust out with a whistle, and you snafu the whole works! How in the name of all that's reasonable do you expect a guy to get his slumber, when a goof like you goes around making noises like a one-man Fourth of July celebration? He needs PEACE, and QUI-YEEETT! IT'S POSITIVELY OUTRAGEOUS!!!
** The three WesternAnimation/PepeLePew cartoons that end with Pepe being chased by the painted cat ("For Scentimental Reasons," "Little Beau pepe," and "Really Scent"). The first two actually have lines of Pepe begging the painted cat to control herself.
** In a Road Runner tv show pilot, one kid admits he likes imagining he's the Road Runner. The other kid tells him that daydreaming is "a bad habit" - as they stare goggle-eyed and unmoving in front of the tv set.
* Creator/TexAvery's short "Rock-a-Bye Bear" has a hibernating bear repeatedly yelling at Spike the dog to be quiet, in the loudest voice imaginable.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' alike have used this more times that it's possible to keep track. Just expect it to be used [[RuleOfThree thrice]] per episode on average.
--> '''Fry (when told alcohol makes people stupid)''': "No I'm... doesn't."
--> '''Robot Devil''': "Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters ''announce'' how they feel! ThatMakesMeFeelAngry!"
** Also
-->'''Fry''': "Is he genetically engineered?"
-->'''Professor''': "Oh please, [[WhatWeNowKnowToBeTrue that's preposterous science fiction mumbo jumbo]]. Guenther's intelligence actually lies in his electronium hat, which harnesses the power of sunspots to produce cognitive radiation."
** And...
-->"I am The Man With No Name...Zapp Brannigan at your service!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
** Lampshaded in "Homer The Vigilante": the captured GentlemanThief makes a charming speech and the townspeople want to release him, however...
-->'''Wiggum''': Oh, sorry folks. [sarcastic] Gee, I really hate to spoil this little love-in, but Mr. Malloy broke the law. And when you break the law, you gotta go to jail.
-->'''Quimby''': Uh, that reminds me, er, here's your monthly kickback.
-->'''Wiggum''': ''[Utterly dumbfounded]'' You just...you couldn't have picked a worse time!
** In "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", Comic Book Guy makes a big deal about not cutting in line, and there is to be only one signed photo per customer. He then pushes his way to the front of the line, and hands over four photos to be signed.
*** In the same episode, one of the Simpsons comments that television shows only introduce new characters when the format gets tired and they need something new to draw in the fans... cue Roy, the Simpson's new lodger, being introduced.
** In another episode when Barney decides to give up alcohol, Moe suggest that Homer be the new Barney, and Homer says something along the lines of "When will you guys ever learn I am nothing like Barney [[IResembleThatRemark (lets out a belch exactly like Barney's signature belch)]]." (They're alike, since they're both voiced by DanCastellaneta.)
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Bart in "A Star is Burns."
---> '''TV''': We now return to "WesternAnimation/TheJetsonsMeetTheFlintstones."
---> '''Bart''': Uh oh. I smell another cheap cartoon crossover. (Jay Sherman from ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'' enters)
** "Kamp Krusty"
-->'''Homer''': Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.
** "Lisa's Sax"
-->'''Homer''': Bart, son? You want to play catch?
-->'''Bart''': No.
-->'''Homer''': When a boy doesn't want to play catch with his old man, something is seriously wrong!
-->'''Abe''': I'll play catch with you, son!
-->'''Homer''': Get the hell out!
-->'''Abe''': I'm gone.
*** Also from that episode Homer and Bart watch a made for tv movie about the life of Krusty The Clown. Homer laughs and comments "What a bad father", while Maggie walks by holding a power drill.
** "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)":
-->'''Bum''': Got any spare change, man?
-->'''Abe''': Yes! And you're not getting a penny of it! ''(continues walking)'' Everybody wants something for nothing. ''(walks into a Social Security office)'' I'm old! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
** An early episode has Homer complaining about the government combining Washington and Lincoln's birthdays into one holiday and ripping off the working man. Marge tells him he's late for work and he shrugs "So? Someone'll punch in for me."
** Homer again: "... and I'm not easily impressed - [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny wow! A BLUE CAR!]]"
** When [[MagicalNanny Shary Bobbins]] explains she is practically perfect in every way, Homer claims he is as well. [[FatSlob He then drinks milk straight from the carton, scratches his butt, and belches]].
** In the episode where Homer boxes, the ring is set up at Moe's and Barney delivers this little beauty. "You won't get ME in the ring! Boxing causes brain damage." (Starts chugging on can of varnish.)
*** A similar gag, occurring while the family are on vacation, has Homer denying that beer kills brain cells - and then saying: "Now, let's go back to that...[[BuffySpeak building-thingy...where our beds and TV...is]]."
** In one episode Homer berates Bart for being immature when suddenly he hears the ice cream truck and he pushes through a crowd of kids shouting "Me first, me first!".
** "The Monkey Suit"
-->'''Homer:''' I'm always open to new ideas...ONIONS?!? IN THE PEAS?!? ''WHAT THE HELL?!?!?'' ''(throws plate at the wall)''
** In "Homer Defined", when Milhouse says that he can't see Bart anymore because his mom says he's a bad influence on him, Bart shouts "'Bad influence' my ass!".
** One episode has the entire town turn against the Simpson family and kicks them out of town, saying that the town is going broke cleaning up after the messes that Bart and Homer always create in their shenanigans. However, the town itself has taken part in lots of shady actions that cost everyone money.
** A meta-example was down twice. One episode had Bart and Milhouse watch ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', complaining that the kids' voices were done by grownups, with Bart wondering how they managed to keep it fresh after all this time. This joke was reused in a later episode where Bart said the same thing about the Pokemon anime. ''The Simpsons'', ''South Park'', and Pokemon are all [[LongRunners long running shows]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' does this a few times.
** In the episode "The Passion of the Jew", members of Kyle's synagogue are protesting Creator/MelGibson's ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist''. "It turns Jews into stereotypes," says a guy with an extremely stereotyped "Jewish" accent.
** In the "Casa Bonita" episode:
--->'''Kyle''': You're not my friend. All you ever do is call me names and rip on me for being Jewish.
--->'''Cartman''': Kyle... when have I ever ripped on you for being a Jew. *cue {{overly long|Gag}} ClipShow montage* Okay except maybe for that one time...
** Another Kyle example: "The Entity" has Kyle meet his ''very'' Jewish cousin from Connecticut (who is also named "Kyle") and [[StopBeingStereotypical constantly be embarrassed by him because the cousin is stereotypically whiny, neurotic, and bad at sports]]. [[BoomerangBigot "I'm Jewish, and he's making]] ''[[BoomerangBigot me]]'' [[BoomerangBigot hate Jews!"]] he complains to Stan. Then Stan points out that by resenting his cousin's Jewishness, Kyle is himself becoming a stereotype - that of the self-hating Jew. This only horrifies Kyle more!
** In "A Very Crappy Christmas", they're watching a Charlie Brown special and Stan complains about the style: "How come everyone in cartoons has such big heads?"
** Gerald and Sheila are extremely tolerant of gay people, except when they think their son is turning gay.
** In the movie Cartman makes a comment about how the animation in Terrance in Phillip is crappy. Then it shows the boys "walking" (In the typical animation of ''South Park'', where they bounce up and down) away.
** Randy Marsh provides several examples such as telling his father he won't treat him like a child and then telling him he needs to apologize to Mr. Police Officer and complaining about the economy failing due to people spending their money on luxuries while using an expensive Margaritaville-brand mixer.
** In "The Tale of Scrotie Mcboogerballs the boys write a disgusting story but claim that Butters wrote it so they don't get blamed. When people like the story they tell Butters that he shouldn't take credit for something he didn't write while he thinks he did indeed write it.
-->'''Butters''': Let me tell you somethin', fellers! You always take advantage of me, and after reading ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'', I've learned you're nothing but phonies! I'm not letting you trick me this time! So the four of you can just suck on my wiener!
-->'''Cartman''': [After Butters walks away] That inconsiderate jerk!
** In "It Hits The Fan" when people freely use the word "shit."
-->'''Cartman''': Wow, this is gonna be great! A whole new word!
-->'''Kyle''': It's NOT NEW! I'm gonna look "shit" up in the encyclopedia and prove it!
-->'''Cartman''': Don't mind Kyle, everyone, he's just got a little sand in his vagina.
-->'''Kyle''': THERE'S NO SAND IN MY VAGINA!!
-->'''Ms. Choksondik''': Boys, watch your language! Shit!
** The "Death Camp of Tolerance" is built around this trope, with the most brutal lampshade hung on the parents seeing a guy smoking outside the "Museum of Tolerance" and taunting him, ''led'' by the woman who'd just finished giving a speech about how you need to respect the opinions and lifestyles of others.
** In "Butterballs" the head of the anti-bullying campaign bullies people in order to get his way (which may or may not be the point of the episode).
** Our formal introduction to the Goth kids in "Raisins":
-->'''Goth Kid''': If you wanna be one of the nonconformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do.
** In TheMovie, the boys watch [[ReallyGetsAround Cartman's mom]] in a German porno film and Kyle remarks "Your mom sucks, Cartman." Well, seeing what his own mother does here, it's clearly throwing stones in a glass house.
*** In the same movie, when Brooke Shields mentioned she once farted on the set of ''Blue Lagoon'', Terrence slaps her and shouts "The fuck's wrong with you!?".
* ''ComicStrip/TheBoondocks'' makes frequent use of it, right from the very first episode:
--> '''Granddad''': Y'all need to start appreciating your granddaddy! I went and spent your inheritance on this beautiful house in this neighborhood! And all I ask you to do is act like you got some class...
--> '''Riley''': Ay, what's "class"?
--> '''Huey''': It means don't act like niggas.
--> '''Granddad''': See! That's what I'm talking about right there! We don't use the n-word in this house!
--> '''Huey''': Granddad, you said the word nigga 47 times yesterday. I counted.
--> '''Granddad''': Nigga, hush!
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', Dethklok, unsatisfied with the sound of their latest song, complain to their producer, saying that, as musicians, they have very sensitive hearing. As they explain this to him, it becomes apparent that they can't quite distinguish each other's voices from one another.
** From the opening scene of the first episode: Their chef offers them a bottle of wine, to which Nathan replies "We never drink before a show. NEVER." Except the other 4 are already drinking, and Nathan joins them.
** The members of Dethklok all agree "Pickles really has a [drinking] problem." True, but this is said while each of them is nursing like twenty beers.
** Then there was the instance where they were doing some remodeling at Mordhaus and Nathan complains that he can't think because of all that racket—[[LoudOfWar and so he drowns out the sounds of sawing and jackhammering with some]] Music/HeavyMetal music which sounds almost exactly the same. "There, that's better."
* One example could be found in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' episode: "Cold-Blooded". The Warden and Jared investigate a serial killer's grip on the inmates, the Warden sends an unwilling Jared undercover as an inmate. When Jared come face to with the serial killer, he slips on the floor and impales his head into his own knife. After Jared confirms that he's dead, the Warden then angrily accuses Jared of killing him personally. Then the Warden abandons the mission altogether.
* Used and somewhat {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''. The Brain has just discovered Pinky's vast collection of Cher memorabilia...
-->'''Brain''': Pinky, do you know what "obsession" is?\\
'''Pinky''': [[AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering A Calvin Klein marketing scam?]]\\
'''Brain''': [[TakeThat Well, yes.]] However, I am referring to an unnatural fixation with a singular goal, something we have no time for in our quest to TakeOverTheWorld!\\
'''Pinky''': Oh, I love it when you're ironic, Brain!
* Mojo Jojo in ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Los Dos Mojos": "I do not talk like that! The way I communicate is much different! I do not constantly reiterate, repeat, recite the same thing over and over again! I am clear! Concise! To the point..."
** Hypocritical humor is one of its staple comedies. Regular offenders include the Mayor, the Professor, and the Girls themselves.
* The ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "[[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs The Ember Island Players]]" provided the perfect set up for tons upon tons of HypocriticalHumor: "How could you say that?"
** ...Except for Toph. The entire first half of the episode is clearly setting up a HypocriticalHumor moment for her, since she found everyone else's (fairly insulting) portrayals to be spot on and was laughing her ''ass'' off at everyone's reactions to the actors' performances- except that when the actor who plays her turns out to be a huge, well-muscled guy, she declares that she couldn't have cast it better herself.
** There's also a scene in the episode "City of Walls and Secrets" where Toph criticizes the rest of the Gaang's lack of proper manners while picking her nose and belching. When called on it, she points out she was taught high class manners and ''chooses'' to ignore them.
** In "The Waterbending Scroll" when the pirates' ship gets stolen by the Gaang, Zuko finds it hilarious. When the pirates steal ''his'' ship in turn, he is far less amused.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': Megatron broadcasts a speech to all Decepticons, talking about unity and freeing themselves from Autobot tyranny -- while blasting Starscream repeatedly (admittedly, Starscream ''was'' trying to kill him).
** In one instant of the G1 cartoon series, Megatron allies the Decepticons with another villainous group, who decide to betray them later on. Cue Starscream yelling 'TRAITORS!!' Cue immense laughter at the irony.
** In another G1 episode, Starscream allies with Shockwave, but then betrays him as soon as he can. Later, Shockwave returns the favour, only for Starscream bemoan the incident as they were "partners".
* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB''; the first part of a segment is Bessie's dog, Happy, getting treatment from a vet for a skinned knee. After the usual kicking and screaming, they head next door for the doctor to treat Bessie's skinned knee. Turns out that she's just in time for a booster shot. After fighting much worse than her dog did, she finally gets the shot while trying to escape through the sink. After the shot, she launches into the usual "See Happy, that didn't hurt a -- okay, yeah, that ''hurts''..."
* You can find Hypocritical Humor right in the opening song of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. As any longtime viewer of the show knows, it has all of the things they're complaining about ("violence in movies and sex on TV") and none of the things they're praising ("good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely").
** In "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air", Cleveland criticises the ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' cutaways for being stupid and irrelevant, even though stupid and irrelevant cutaways make up a good amount of any ''Family Guy'' episode (which they lampshade a moment later with a cutaway of Hitler juggling fish while on a unicycle).
*** However, the cutaway later gets worked into the show properly, and Peter points out the subversion, saying "See? We had a plan for that all along."
** The first ''Star Wars'' [[MayTheFarceBeWithYou parody episode]] includes Peter as Han Solo[=/=]Creator/HarrisonFord, introducing himself as the "only actor whose career wasn't destroyed by this movie." This despite the fact that CarrieFisher was voicing a recurring character in other episodes, and Creator/MarkHamill (who reportedly took offense to that line) has been a somewhat prolific and acclaimed voice actor at least since TheNineties.
*** [[FridgeBrilliance That could just be]] a very subtle and GeniusBonus form of SelfDeprecation, another form of humor ''Family Guy'' revels in.
** The Thanksgiving episode where Brian asks Ida Quagmire how she's feels about Kevin Swanson's [[spoiler: desertion from the army]] saying "she's the only one who understands what it is truly like." We get this little gem.
--> '''Ida''': No, Brian, I do not understand Kevin's choice and I do not support it.\\
'''Brian''': Okay, well that's just some dumb drag queen.
** In the episode "He's Too Sexy for his Fat", Lois is furious that Peter is going to great lengths to make himself handsome instead of accepting who he is while he pushes Chris away (Chris is trying to lose weight), but Lois quickly gives in to her horny temptations as she stares at Peter's sexy and chiseled ass. Brian calls her out on it, which causes Lois to ask if she is a bad person. Brain simply says that yes she is. This gets dropped quickly when Peter's jerkass levels shoot up and becomes more narcissistic.
** When Peter gets a vasectomy and stops having sex with Lois, Lois gains a ton of weight to fill the void of not having sex. Peter takes notice and starts making fun of Lois being fat. Lois calls Peter out on being such a hypocrite since he was always obese, but Peter being Peter says "Lois, men aren't fat. [[InsaneTrollLogic Only fat women are fat]]!"
** In "Mother Tucker" Tom Tucker dates Thelma and acts as Peter's dad. In the end he realizes that he can't make Jake share his father with him and tells Tom to spend time with his real son. Peter concludes that he learned something about parenting and then tells Chris to leave him alone.
** In "Halloween On Spooner Street", Lois gets angry at Chris because his Creator/BillCosby costume uses blackface, which she deems racist. She then tells him to go put on the Indian headdress she made for him.
** In "Quagmire's Dad", Brian is complaining that no one is asking him about his time at the seminar he was just at. When Meg asks him just that, Brian turns her away.
* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode "Flash and Substance", four of Flash's RoguesGallery meet in a BadGuyBar and Mirror Master makes a comment about how they are the hardest men in town... At which point their {{drink order}}s are revealed as, respectively, an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Palmer_(drink) Arnold Palmer]], a Cherry Coke, a ''decaf soy latte'', and a glass of milk (Captain Cold's ulcer had been acting up), turning what would otherwise be a good example of FrothyMugsOfWater into a stellar example of this trope.
*** This of course, ignores the bonus pun about Mirror Master's use of vernacular; mirrors are generally not hard at all.
** In the same episode, [[CloudCuckoolander Trickster]] prefaces his plan to kill Flash by saying it's "nothing as stupid as a giant boomerang," a direct jab at Captain Boomerang's just-failed plan. Instead it involves four hundred greased cases of fake dog vomit, and Plan B involves [[NoodleImplements fifty thousand rotten eggs and a chainsaw]].
** In another episode, Flash and ElongatedMan were complaining about not being taken seriously by everyone else. While playing [[BlandNameProduct Brawlin' Bots]].
* A lot of humor on the show ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' relies on this trope. But special mention has to go to a little scene in Too Young. The earl of Lemongrab is watching his butler scream in agony after a drop of spicy serum lands in his eye. Lemongrab, who has NoIndoorVoice, bangs the table, and SHRIEKS: "STOP SCREAMING!! WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?!"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is made of this trope, usually coming from Dr. Venture or Brock Samson. When Brock ("Super Kill Guy") is feeling down about killing a Mook, the solution: more killing.
--> Dr. Venture (as his sons interrupt as he is talking with his [[YouCanNotGraspTheTrueForm supposed]] [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith father]]): ''Boys, Quiet! I'm trying to have a family moment here!''
** Rusty making clones or zombies provokes HypocriticalHumor from necromancer-in-residence Dr. Orpheus. At one point, he spent half an episode trying to bring Hank and Dean BackFromTheDead, then freaked out when [[spoiler:Rusty did it by activating their clones.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' makes use of this liberally as with most animated shows.
-->'''Stan''': There are still a few voters who doubt I'd be a trustworthy leader. So let's lock our alien back in that mechanical teat sucker and make more brain washing potato salad!
** Another examples is where Steve and the gang try to get his now morbidly obese neighbor out of bed after his wife died, after the event his friend Barry states "fat people make me sick!"; this is ironic considering he is probably the fattest student in their school.
*** Another instance, where Stan brings in Whitney Houston to sing Francine's favorite song, having to bribe her with crack: she sings "they can't take away my dignity", and then immediately faceplants trying to grab said crack.
*** "Do I look like I'm made of money?" Said while Stan is wearing a money suit.
* From the Humbug in the Creator/ChuckJones adaption of ''Literature/ThePhantomTollbooth'': "If there's one thing I can't abide, it's a hypocrite!"
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', Hugh Test is berating his daughters for having invented something as potentially dangerous as an alchemy machine - while he's gleefully using said machine to turn the cutlery and the contents of his toolbox into gold.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' a ShapeShifting alien impersonates Dale and the others need to SpotTheImposter. Dale then exposes the alien by showing him his favorite food, upon which the alien forgets everything, loses the disguise, and runs for the food. Upon seeing this, Monty comments: "Disgusting the way some people lose control". This is coming from a character whose RunningGag is being addicted to cheese, which oftentimes gets him and others into trouble ("Mind Your Cheese and Q's" best illustrates this).
** This similar scenario also happened on the episode "Chocolate Chips" where Dale smells chocolate and goes into the same cheese-attack style trance that Monty does (with Monty saying the same thing about how he hates it when other people lose control of themselves over food).
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' does this all the time, most of the time focusing around Patrick's lack of intelligence.
-->'''Patrick:''' Are you going to listen to a big dummy, or are you going to listen to ''me''?
-->'''Spongebob:''' [[LampshadeHanging Err....]]
** Another entertaining one involves them getting an invitation from a land dweller but the ink runs. They comment that whoever sent this obviously [[WaterIsAir has no clue about how life under the ocean works]]. Then they promptly throw the note into a burning fire.
* A running gag in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' is that Dot always makes disparaging comments to her brothers' HelloNurse routine... when she's every bit as bad as Yakko (maybe worse) when an attractive man walks by.
* ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} once starred in an adaptation of "Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves", in which Bluto portrayed the leader of the thieves. At one point, Bluto is snacking on his dinner while Wimpy snatches some chicken from one of his plates. Upon seeing it's missing, Bluto shrieks, "Hey!! There must be thieves around here!"
* From ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'':
-->'''Roberta''': I need to update my Facebook page with these slammin' pictures of me in my new bikini.
-->'''Cleveland''': Facebook is a joke. You know who is my "friend" on Facebook? Margaret Cho. A woman I have not met, nor wish to ever meet, is somehow a friend of mine. Puh-lease! I also don't need your stupid status updates. "Ooh, Betsy Sherman is exited to watch ''Series/{{Heroes}}''!" Go suck an egg, Betsy!
-->You know what? I need to Twitter that! [''Takes out phone''] "Go... suck... an egg... Betsy.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' has [[TheCaligula Lucius]] telling his son "There's just some things you can't make happen." Immediately afterward he has the mountain outside his window moved to the left, and then ''orders the destruction of one of the [[AlienSky three suns]]'' because three is too many.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAbracadabraDoo'' Daphne asks Velma why she doesn't hang out with her sister more often and she replies that she finds her too nerdy and that she over analyzes everything, after she says that she notices a powder on the floor mistaking it for a clue and Daphne replies that its for her feet.
* Memorably in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'', SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker dumps a random reporter into the same vat of chemicals that he was dumped in. After that reporter becomes TheCreeper, he tracks the Joker down and starts harassing the poor guy, and starts hitting on Harley Quinn like there's no tomorrow. Hypocritical for two reasons. One, the Creeper's one-sided crush is ''exactly'' like Harley Quinn's crush on the Joker. Two, eventually, the Joker is on his knees begging Batman to put him in Arkham because, in the Joker's words, "HE'S A LUNATIC!" That's right. The Joker called someone a lunatic.
** The latter also happens in the earlier episode "Joker's Favor." When faced with an explosives-wielding Charlie Collins who seems poised to give him an utterly inglorious death, the Joker exclaims "You're crazy!" Charlie replies, "I had a good teacher!"
* On ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', after Hank's been MistakenForRacist, the church congregation tries to tell Hank that bigotry and intolerance is wrong by singing around a cross on Hank's lawn.
** In another episode Hank and Peggy argue about Bobby's strange behavior and that he will never fully grow up because of Peggy's constant babying him, at the end of the argument she says "I do not baby him!", a couple seconds later she turns to Bobby and says in baby talk "Who wants a hot fudge sundae?!".
** In "To Kill A Ladybird" Hank and Bobby visit a pet store to get medicine for Ladybird, Bobby wants to get a frisby for Bandit a raccoon he "adopted" as a pet, Hank makes Bobby put it back saying how much the store overprices those things then moments later asks a clerk how much it would cost to put Ladybird's picture on a coffee mug.
** Heck, much of the humor from Hank's character is built around hypocritical humor, namely in how he'll approve of something if it involves Ladybird, propane, beer, or football that he would never, ever approve of otherwise.
* ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'':
-->'''Belle''': I have to get home to help my father.\\
'''[=LeFou=]''': That crazy old loon, he needs all the help he can get!\\
''[Gaston laughs heartily]''\\
'''Belle''': Don't talk about my father that way!\\
'''Gaston''': Yeah, don't talk about her father that way! ''[hits [=LeFou=] on the head]''
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "Circus Angelicus" Chuckie mentions the reasons why clowns are scary, "They have these big scary glasses, big funny teeth, and big scary red hair that sticks out everywhere", he is describing himself.
** Angelica often mocks the babies for being immature, usually followed by her showing she's just as immature, if not moreso.
* Subtle example from ''Rescue at Midnight Castle'', the first of the WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials. Firefly (a {{pegasus}} pony) uses the following alternative to the word "bullshit": "Ponyfeathers."
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Lesson Zero", Rarity calls Twilight a "drama queen" when she finds out Twilight is worried about not sending her friendship report to Princess Celestia on time... while lying on a ''fainting couch'' Rarity had magically summoned because she forgot the plates for a picnic.
** ...which is immediately lampshaded when everyone gives her an odd look, causing her to hastily add, [[HypocrisyNod "...relatively speaking."]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode, "Ren's Toothache", right after Ren's teeth had rotted to non-existence and putrid fumes pouring out from his mouth, four flies start complaining about the god-awful smell... after they were driven away from eating at Stimpy's litter box earlier!
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'':
--> '''Benson''': Rule #47: NO YELLING!
* On ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb,'' there was a sign in the park advertising a 4K run for charity: "Help us to put an end to signs in the park."
** In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'', after Candace mentions the possibility of a "mysterious force" being responsible for Phineas and Ferb's contraptions disappearing, Stacy denies it with this:
--> '''Stacy''': I'm still not buying it; I am a woman of science...at least that's what my horoscope said.
* Grouchy Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAndTheMagicFlute'' song "Just Like Their Names": "I don't act like my name!"
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' Johnny learns he has to repeat the fourth grade, he says "I don't want to be stuck in a room with a bunch of whiny, immature brats" while throwing a childish temper tantrum.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' the gang is playing a kickball game against a rival school, at one point T.J.'s kick gets caught by one of the rival teammates, Mikey says "That's not fair that kid is really really big" said kid is about as tall and fat as him.
* WesternAnimation/DanVs has this little gem. Chris and Dan are working at a mall, and Chris sees Elise doing some Christmas shopping, so he decides to spy on her.
--> '''Chris''': I'm going to go see what [Elise] is getting me for Christmas.
--> '''Dan''': Chris, that's not in the Christmas spirit. Now come and help me annihilate Santa.
* A darker, less humorous version in ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant''; when said giant and Hogarth see a deer they go get a closer look, when two hunters shoot it. The hunters see the giant and exclaim, "IT'S THE MONSTER!", and flee while Hogarth and the [[GentleGiant giant]] sadly mourn the dead deer.
* Happens all the time in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' but one of the most notable [[CerebusSyndrome (comedic)]] examples would have to be the exchange between Clay Puppington and Art Posabule after arguing over the correct version of the Lord's Prayer:
-->'''Mark Posubule''': Forgive your ''debtors''!
-->'''Clay Puppington''': Forgive your ''trespassers''!
-->'''Mark Posubule''': You owe me a bottle of wine!
-->'''Clay Puppington''': ''Get off my property!''
* [[{{WesternAnimation/Archer}} Sterling Archer.]] Bing. Bang. Boom.
** There are ''way'' too many examples to list to give justice, considering hypocrisy encompasses Archer's ENTIRE persona. But here's a good one from season 3's episode, "Space Race: Part 2":
*** Cyril is about to land the shuttle, after piloting all of re-entry, '''with everyone onboard''', ''and'' ironically being the only one qualified to do so, since he was the sole person to get time on the simulator. Archer suddenly tries to grab the stick:
-->'''Everyone''': NO! WHAT THE HELL!!! ''etc.'' \\
'''Lana''': Archer, you had, like, an ''actual'' moment of '''self-awareness''', ''in space!'' So-\\
'''Archer''': '''...So, ''I'' DESERVE TO LAND THE GODDAMN SPACESHIP!'''\\
[Archer proceeds to wrestle the flight controls from Cyril, '''''thus it all goes to FUBAR.''''']\\
'''Archer''': Actually, Cyril...it's all you buddy. You got it.
-->[''You know what happens next.'']\\

Ironically, just saying that part will now have people ''assume'' you're going to be exactly what you said you're not, regardless of what one actually says.
** Good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrgygfwnCJ0
* "Proponents of eugenics shouldn't be allowed to reproduce".
* "All extremists should be killed."
* "all sentences should begin with a capital letter."
* Bobby Kennedy was fond of joking that he would "destroy" anyone who called him ruthless.
* Used brilliantly by Creator/PamelaAnderson on her Roast. "It's great to see ''Wrestling/{{Hulk|Hogan}} here, because every roast needs a DumbBlonde with huge tits".
* "I am the nicest person in the world. And if there is ever anyone nicer than me, I'll kill them and will be the nicest one once again."
* "Why must you always think that I'm ''criticizing'' you?"
* "Those who are against democracy should be denied the right to say that."
* [[AcceptableTargets Redneck]] dating tip: "Don't be sexist or vulgar. Bitches hate that shit."
* "If anyone says he hates war more than I do, he'd better have a knife, that's all I have to say." -Jack Handey
* Saying something while doing the exact opposite of what you're saying.
* There is an anti-homophobia website called ''Homophobia is Gay''.
* BarackObama during his spiel at the 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner: "One senator who has reached across the aisle recently is Marco Rubio, but I don’t know about (running for President in) 2016. I mean, the guy has not even finished a single term in the Senate and he thinks he’s ready to be President. (''laughter'') Kids these days."[[hottip:*:Obama was first elected to the Senate in 2004, then was elected President in 2008. Senate terms are six years.]]

* ''Series/ThirtyRock" has one in its signature meta-joke style, where Liz and Jack are discussing ''America's Kidz Got Singing'', a singing competition show NBC is airing:

* In Hitchcock's ''Film/RearWindow'', Stella (Thelma Ritter) spends most of the film helping Jeff (Creator/JimmyStewart) and Lisa (Creator/GraceKelly) prove that neighbor Raymond Burr, who they've been snooping on from afar, has murdered his wife. In the film's penultimate scene, after a cop asks Ritter if she'll help them dig up the body, she replies: "No thanks, I don't want any part of it!" (This might also be a DoubleEntendre, since the implication is that the body has been dismembered and possibly decapitated.)

* Possibly unintentional example: In an episode of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', Kirk is told "Your old titles mean nothing here, Captain."

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vMUvgce_5s This]] Downfall parody on Youtube has Hitler ranting about how unoriginal it is to make Downfall parodies.

** ''Frasier'' runs on this trope, in both it's one-liner and more subtle forms. The very premise of the show is a form of this trope — a brilliant psychiatrist who is always giving people advice on how to fix their problems, but [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes can't figure out his own neuroses or relationships to save his life]].

* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Homer The Vigilante": the captured GentlemanThief makes a charming speech and the townspeople want to release him, however...

** A meta-example was down twice. One episode had Bart and Milhouse watch SouthPark, complaining that the kids' voices were done by grownups, with Bart wondering how they managed to keep it fresh after all this time. This joke was reused in a later episode where Bart said the same thing about the Pokemon anime. TheSimpsons, SouthPark, and Pokemon are all [[LongRunners long running shows]].
