* ''MightyMax'' episode "Norman's Conquest"

* It doesnt actually happen, but in an early episode of ''SouthPark'', "Tom's Rhinoplasty", Mr Garrison decides to undergo a cosmetic nose surgery (the nose job he picks will make him look like a young DavidHasselhoff). The surgeon warns him about the risks of the operation first.

* ''SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode “Chocolate with Nuts”

** In the ''FanboyAndChumChum'' episode "The Janitor Strikes Back", after the two manage to get permission to chew gum in school from the janitor.

* ''ScottPilgrim''

* ''MalcolmInTheMiddle'' episode "Watching the Baby"

* ''TheWestWing'' episode "The Lame Duck Congress"

* ''{{Bones}}'' episode "The Witch in the Wardrobe"

* ''OneTreeHill'' episode "The Desperate Kingdom of Love"

* ''{{NCIS}}'' episode "Enigma"

* ''DocMartin'' episode "In Loco"

* The TropeNamer is the magnificent ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' season six episode "In the Pale Moonlight", which is one of the most controversial, polarizing episodes in the entire franchise's history. Detractors of ''Deep Space Nine'' absolutely hated it because it was savagely dark. Fans of ''Deep Space Nine'' consider it one of the best, if not ''the'' best episode of the entire series, ''for exactly the same reasons''. The Federation and their Klingon allies are losing the war against the Dominion and their Cardassian allies, and the only other great power in the Alpha Quadrant, the Romulans, have so far remained neutral. Sisko realizes the only hope for victory is to convince the Romulans to join the war on the side of the Federation. With the help of [[MagnificentBastard Garak]], he gets a convicted criminal out of a Klingon prison to create an entirely fake record to "prove" to the Romulans that the Dominion is planning to betray them. Sisko even has to pay another criminal using material essential to the creation of bioweapons (no questions asked) in order to obtain an authentic Cardassian data rod to record it on. However, Garak knew that the recording would probably not pass any closer examination, and that Sisko was not ruthless enough to go all the way they needed to reach their goal. So when the Romulan senator Vreenak realized that ''[[MemeticMutation "It's a fake!!!"]]'', Garak had a bomb planted on his ship that would be traced back to the Dominion. Any salvage team that would go through the debris would find the recording, and all its tiny flaws would be attributed to damage caused by the explosion. He also assassinated the man who created the record, just to be sure. Everything went as he had planned, and the Romulans joined the war on the Federation's side. Sisko realizes what happened and confronts Garak with a sucker punch in outrage only to receive an epic HannibalLecture about TheNeedsOfTheMany (millions to trillions of civilian lives and freedom vs. a handful of criminals, foreign agents, and one man's guilty conscious) and how Sisko recruited him for the mission ''because'' Garak would be [[TheUnfettered willing to do whatever it takes]].
-->'''Sisko:''' So this is a ''huge'' victory for "the good guys"! This may even be ''the'' turning point of the entire war. There is even a "welcome to the fight" party tonight in the ward room. So... I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... '''I think I can live with it.''' And if I had to do it all over again, I would. [[TokenEvilTeammate Garak]] was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is [[JerkassHasAPoint a small price to pay]] for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. '''So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I ''can'' live with it... '''\\

* ''{{Cube}}''. Upon reaching the exit:

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', when [[spoiler:Miko]] dies, and is guided to the afterlife. She is told she won't be a restored to Paladin status, but at least her only friend in the world will be able to visit her.

-->'''House:''' If we were all satisfied with what we had what a beautiful world it would be. We'd all slowly starve to death in our own filth but at least we'd be happy. Listen, I need your self worth to hang on this job. For kicking ass to be all that lets you rise above miserable. If waking up in the morning is enough, I don't need you.

* Type 1: Someone is resigned/willing to accept(ing) a negative situation: that he's a failure, that he's acting in an evil manner, that his actions will cause problems, etc.

In other words Type 1 is basically the "negative" version of the trope example: "You've rescued your wife, but the bus full of nuns drove into the swamp and [[MadeOfExplodium exploded]], and she had a heart attack! You are doomed to be single forever!" "... I can live with that."
