* In the Japanese mini-series ''The Days'', the workers struggling to repair the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant are pumping sea water into the reactor area to cool it down. Their boss in Tokyo orders them to stop because the Prime Minister's office hasn't approved this measure yet, and it looks embarrassing that they've jumped the gun. During a video conference the station master tries to object over this frivolity when they have a reactor that's creeping towards meltdown, but his boss barks at him that this is an order. So the station master orders his own team to stop on camera, but it's then revealed that this is an act and [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight they're continuing to pump sea water regardless]].

* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': The inversion is deliberately invoked by Lieutenant Reece in "Punk Is Dead" when a murder suspect is already under investigation by the FBI, DEA, and others, so she's been ordered to keep all her detectives away from him. Reece quietly points out to Henry that since he works for the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, she doesn't actually have the authority to tell ''him'' what to do. She even adds some specific information on where the suspect can be found, then reminds Henry no one from her department can go with him.

* ''WebSite/SFDebris'' mocks the overuse of this line in his review of the [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]] episode "Unimatrix Zero":
--->'''Chakotay:''' Open it. That's an order.\\

* Mostly used in ''Film/Midway2019'' to end discussion when a subordinate is trying to argue ICanStillFight. Said almost word for word from Admiral Nimitz to Admiral Halsey.
** At one point McCluskey has to override Best when Best wants to keep arguing tactics even as men are climbing into their planes for a mission. Best is proven to be right in the long run (though it was a moot point on that particular mission, they didn't even find the Japanese), but the time for discussion was past.
* In ''Film/IndependenceDay'': Capt. Steve Hiller yells this at his subordinate and best friend Jimmy, who has taken his air mask off in the middle of a dogfight with alien fighters. Jimmy is too far gone in gasping panic to obey, and it quickly becomes a moot point when the aliens shoot him down.

* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''. The cyborg girls are brainwashed to obey the commands of the Social Welfare Agency. When Claes balks at picking up a weapon because her former handler had wanted her to avoid violence, Dr. Bellesario tells her to think about the fact that she's refusing to obey an order. Claes then feels so ill she stops resisting, but is still unable to shoot someone later on.
