*** An earlier version of this gag shows up in 1946's "WesternAnimation/RacketeerRabbit", with Rocky (a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Creator/EdwardGRobinson) running away to turn himself in (no cop ever actually shows up).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}'' has Big Daddy sulking in prison over Johnny ditching him in the middle of a bank robbery to get a musical audition, and when Johnny tries to visit him a second time Big Daddy sits it out [[IHaveNoSon refusing to talk to him at all]]. [[spoiler:Seeing Johnny sing on TV however does give Big Daddy a change of heart and he works to escape his cell just long enough to see him one more time]].

** PlayedForHorror the first time Flash uses Ghostfreak. He subjects a bomber to a brutal NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, including [[HighAltitudeInterrogation threatening to drop him from the sky]]. This completely terrifies the criminal, with the narration of the story itself briefly referring to him as Ghostfreak's "victim" before going back to "opponent". The bomb eventually throws himself at Shining's feet giving up, begging him to get him away from that "monster". This all serves as early {{foreshadowing}} to Ghostfreak's true evil nature.

* ''Series/FamilyMatters'': In the episode "Farewell, My Laura", Steve Urkel has a fantasy of being a private investigator looking into a chain of murders (and most of said murders happening [[SuspectExistenceFailure just as he accuses the murdered person of being the murderer]]). Steve eventually discovers that the killer is Laura, and he admits that he has some reluctance about handing her to the police because he thinks she's hot. The very second he finishes the sentence, Laura decides to not chance Steve trying to convince her to be his girlfriend and confesses to the cops.
