** In "A Pal for Gary", Mr. Krabs, who post-Flanderization is typically a greedy Jerkass who puts others on the line all for the sake of money, is pretty reasonable; willing to understand [=SpongeBob=]'s dilemma with Gary and even accommodates him to take Gary to work at the end of the episode.
** Post-{{Flanderization}}, Mr. Krabs was usually a CorruptCorporateExecutive with a MoneyFetish. However, in "Little Yellow Book", he's actually pretty reasonable; he doesn't laugh at [=SpongeBob=]'s secrets when Squidward shows everyone his diary and while everyone else becomes abusive and cruel towards him after [=SpongeBob=] runs out crying ([[{{Hypocrite}} despite laughing at [=SpongeBob=]'s secrets before then]]), Mr. Krabs simply tells Squidward to apologize in a calm but firm manner.

** Plankton and Karen usually have an AwfulWeddedLife where she's exasperated by his constant failures and he finds her annoying and naggy. In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS14E6TangoTangleNecroNomNomNomICon Tango Tangle]]", Plankton surprises Karen with a thoughtful birthday gift, and the two of them love dancing together. Notably, this is one of the rare instances where Plankton doesn't need any external motivation to make Karen happy.

** In "Tutor Sauce", the incredibly cheap and stingy Mr. Krabs gives Pearl money for shoes with no hesitation.

* In Episode 7 of ''Fanfic/KedaborysMuppetMania'', [[OriginalCharacter the French Chef]], who is normally very serious and hot-tempered, finally shows a softer side during the final number as she's moved by Kermit's monologue about family. She even temporarily puts aside her heated rivalry with the Swedish Chef, who until then had been a regular pain in her ass, to sing a portion of the closing song together. Of course, by their next appearance in Episode 10, she's right back to her stubborn ways.

May overlap with NotHimself, NiceJobFixingItVillain, and DependingOnTheWriter. If done in a particularly exaggerated manner that in no way befits their normal characterization it is likely an OutOfCharacterMoment.

* [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr.Burns]] from WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons can hold this ball in some episodes. The best example of this was in the episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E7KingSizeHomer "King-Sized Homer"]], where he did everything from leading a calisthenics session, to politely pushing Homer back when Homer slides into his office on an oil slick, to honoring Homer's gambit to be considered disabled, to agreeing to do whatever Homer wants in exchange for saving the plant (which ended with him paying for Homer’s liposuction).

In "[[Recap/SouthParkS12E3MajorBoobage Major Boobage]]", after cats are banned from the town, Cartman selflessly shelters them in his attic. This does get joked on in the ending, where Kyle asks Cartman if he could think of there being any similar time in history where living beings were persecuted by law and forced into hiding to survive on the goodwill of others, and Cartman claims it's not ringing a bell.
