* Lone Star in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', being a combination of Han Solo and Luke in ''Star Wars''.

::[[spoiler: Ultimately {{subverted|Trope}}, as he [[KeepTheReward turns down the million spacebucks he was promised]] and keep only $248 for food, gas, and tolls. Though it helped that his creditor ate himself to death.]]

* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'': PlayedWith. The Golden Guard is not a loyal follower of All For One, seeing him as just as monstrous as his EvilUncle, but secretly works with The Underdark as TheMole to one day overthrow Belos and liberate the Boiling Isles from him before the [[FinalSolution Day of Unity]]. Perry Porter is starting to suspect Hunter has no real loyalty to them.

* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', The 2nd Databook states that while Akaza is completely loyal to Muzan, the elite Upper-3 demon doesn't personally like him or any of his fellow Upper Ranks, nor personally cares about Muzan's goals, Akaza is loyal for loyalty's sake, almost in a professional manner; he is a demon with no recollection of his past life but Akaza's diligence as a warrior seemly was too deeply imprinted on him, so even as a malicious demon Akaza respectively follows his demonic master without question because that's what a dutiful warrior does. [[spoiler:When Akaza finds his humanity again during his final fight, all that loyalty goes straight back his beloved human family trying to reach his heart from beyond the grave, nurturing enough willpower to directly break Muzan's influence over his mind]].

* ''Fanfic/ShadowsOverMeridian'': While Jade might be helping Phobos, it's only to [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe repay Raythor for his kindness to her]] by aiding the man he's sworn his loyalty to, as indicated by her conditions to Phobos for her aid. Her ultimate goal is still finding a way home to her family.

** On Fishman Island, Hyouzou openly states he is assisting Hody Jones for the money and doesn't care at all about the uprising Hody is instigating.
*** Same arc, Vander Decken doesn't care about Hody's regime change, he just wants to marry Shirahoshi. Wadatsumi is even less invested, he's just obeying his Captain.

* ''Film/ThePatriot'': The name of the film obviously doesn't apply to the main character, who refuses to help either side until his son gets captured by the cartoonishly evil Colonel Tavington.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Grandpa Marsh summons the AARP in one episode and they [[WhenEldersAttack take over South Park]]. But when the AARP leader explains his plan to take over the rest of the US and kill everyone under the age of 65, Marvin [[YoureInsane call out the leader on his possible senility]], since all they wanted were their drivers' licenses back. [[EveryoneHasStandards He certainly didn't want things to go that far]] (and already had misgivings [[ShootTheHostages about killing their hostages]]).

* ''Series/YesMinister'': Sir Humphrey, the king of ObstructiveBureaucrats, explains to Bernard in one episode how he (and implicitly the entire Civil Service) has to maintain neutrality, since if he were to instead follow the ever-changing winds of politics, he'd have gone mad.

* In ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'', this is why [[WildCard Bio Hunter Silva]] declines to work with [[BigBad Doctor Man]] -- Silva was programmed by the [[GreaterScopeVillain Anti-Bio Union]] to hunt down and eliminate anything with Bio Particles, meaning the Biomen and the Bio Robo. But he's not interested at all in working with Gear to conquer Earth, and more than once he simply lets the Biomen go and stop Gear's plans; he simply doesn't ''care'' about humanity or Earth, only about following his programming, so he frequently opts to wait until he can kill the Biomen on his own terms.
