* In an episode of ''KingOfTheHill" Boomhauer's brother is getting hitched, and quickly proves unfaithful and resorts to all sorts of sleazy antics, Boomhauer constantly attempts to stop and scold his brother, [[MadeOutToBeAJerkass but is constantly manipulated to look like the culprit himself]], leading to a long drawn chewing out from Hank, complete with the cliched booming of "BUT NOTHING!!!" whenever he tries to [[TheUnintelligible babble]] an explanation. Oddly subverted when Hank later confronts Boomhauer over what's going on and gets the truth, though even as he is apologizing to Boomhauer he won't let him get a word in.
* ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'': The pig cops in the 1972 movie have a conversation like this in the synagogue. One of them desparately tries to inform the other that he saw Fritz, but the other keeps slapping him to make him shut up out of respect for his Jewish faith.
* TheSimpsons: When Bart tells a dirty joke to Reverend Lovejoy, his wife and daughter while visiting them at home he is thrown out of the house. As Bart starts stuttering "but, but, but...", trying to explain himself, Helen Lovejoy thinks he is repeatedly saying the word "butt" and asks him to "make it stop!".

* Almost every arc of ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' runs on this trope.

* When Huey, Dewey and Louie first tried to join the Junior Woodchucks - according to a DonRosa story, they were outright rejected for calling Elvira Duck "Grandma", as they usually do because the Senior Woodchucks assumed they were rude kids who call old ladies like that. One of the boys tried to explain but got a "No Buts" and only got allowed back when Elvira explained she's technically their ''great-grandmother''.

* The reason why [[spoiler:Yamane]] hates [[HaruhiSuzumiya Kyon's]] guts. [[spoiler:From [[StalkerWithACrush Yamane]]'s [=PoV=] ]], the events surrounding Asakura's murder attempt against Kyon looked a lot like a LoveConfession going ''[[QuestionableConsent wrong]]''. For Yamane, it happened like this: Ryouko leaves a note in Kyon's shoe locker, she walks into empty classroom and some time later Kyon follows suit, nobody else enters the room until eventually Taniguchi opens the door and promptly runs away while apologizing profusely (and yelling "take your time!" in the dub), Yamane leaves and misses Kyon and Nagato leaving the classroom and the next day their homeroom teacher announces that Asakura moved overseas with Kyon looking not one bit surprised at the news.

* ''FanFic/TheStalkingZukoSeries'' after being confronted by his therapist, Dr. Wang, Jet begrudgingly admits to himself that "Lee" is probably firebender since he has seen Lee's physical prowess and never saw him firebending. Then Jet realizes that he seen Lee's uncle Mushi warm up his tea without any means to, make gallons of tea without any firewood and able to be naked in the middle of early spring. Jet concludes that Lee never responded to his accusations because he's not a firebender and to protect his uncle from scrutiny.

* In chapter 15 of the ''Manga/LoveHina'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7180762/1/Contract-Labor Contract Labor]]'', Motoko overhears Kitsune talking to Haruka over the phone about an incident involving Keitaro, Naru, and the police. Given her AllMenArePerverts mentality, Motoko automatically jumps to conclusions and assumes that Keitaro had assaulted Naru; Motoko attacks Keitaro as soon as they return home from the police station, only discovering after the damage is done that Keitaro actually saved Naru from being kidnapped and possibly gang-raped. As a result, Motoko kicks off [[HumiliationConga a series of events]] that result in her not only being evicted from the Hinata House, but all but disowned by her family completely.

----

* ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'': Whenever Dona Florinda is sure Don Ramon hurt or tried to hurt her son, she'll certainly slap him and never allows him to explain. She's lucky he WouldntHitAGirl.

May facilitate an OopsIDidItAgain plot or result in Type A of WhyDidntYouJustSaySo. Should the culprit finally realise the truth, and [[BreakTheHaughty possibly be humbled enough]] [[JerkassRealization to listen this time round]], the victim may call out IWarnedYou (or more specifically "I Tried To Warn You").

* ''Series/FullHouse'': D.J. was trying to take a beer can away from two boys at a school dance when her uncle Jesse catches her in the hallway and wrongfully accuses her, until the two boys who were drinking confess to Jesse and he apologizes to D.J. Slightly different in the respect that D.J. did get to tell her side of the story, but even after answering every one of Jesse's questions, he still didn't believe her and didn't even consider the possibility she was telling the truth.
** Though this is mainly due to the fact that prior to that, she had been caught lying about other things. So it didn't help that DJ's track record on telling the truth wasn't squeaky clean when this happened.

* ''ElChavoDelOcho'': Whenever Dona Florinda is sure Don Ramon hurt or tried to hurt her son, she'll certainly slap him and never allows him to explain. She's lucky he WouldntHitAGirl.

* ''DannyPhantom'', "Splitting Images": MonsterOfTheWeek (not really a monster, but who cares?) Poindexter believes Danny to be a bully after Danny dealt Dash (an actual bully) some much-needed humiliation, and, yep, won't even let Danny explain himself. Once the initial confrontation is over, it's just taken for granted that Danny apparently was wrong, in an {{Anvilicious}} "With great power ComesGreatResponsibility" {{Aesop}}. One that he [[BrokenAesop seems to forget]] on several occasions and has even has to visually re-learn within the first MadeForTVMovie.

* ''{{Hitch}}.'' The title character's love interest Sara has a friend who slept with a guy who dumped her the morning after. On the way out the door, he makes an offhand comment, "Date doctor my ass." Sara makes it her mission to find the date doctor and expose him, blaming him for enabling the scumbag to use her friend. [[spoiler: When she finds out it's none other than Hitch, the guy she's been seeing and whom she likes, she trashes him and his completely innocent client in her gossip column. This effectively [[DisproportionateRetribution ruins his reputation and livelihood.]]]] The kicker? [[spoiler: He hadn't even worked with the jerk who dropped his name, and Sara hadn't bothered to find out the truth.]] And then Hitch [[TheUnfairSex ''takes her back.'']]

* FritzTheCat: The pig cops in the 1972 movie have a conversation like this in the synagogue. One of them desparately tries to inform the other that he saw Fritz, but the other keeps slapping him to make him shut up out of respect for his Jewish faith.

* This is the basic schtick of [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Foghorn Leghorn]]. He goes on and on without letting the other characters get a word in edgewise, then complains how they never listen to a word he says. On at least one or two occasions, the other characters will usually [[BigShutUp yell at him to shut up]] and hit him on the head with a stick to knock him out.

* This is the basic schtick of [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Foghorn Leghorn]]. He goes on and on without letting the other characters get a word in edgewise, then complains how they never listen to a word he says.

* ''HarryPotter'': Sirius Black spent years in Azkaban Prison because everyone who didn't know Peter Pettigrew was a Death Eater assumed Sirius betrayed the Potters and killed Peter Pettigrew and several muggles. It was eventually revealed Peter faked his death and framed Sirius with everything.

** She is eventually called out on it after Marcy asks her if Charlie Brown really ''did'' invite her, Franklin, and Marcy over for Thanksgiving Dinner, however.
