History Main / YoureJustJealous

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' gives us this piece of dialogue between Harley Quinn and [=DA=] Janet [=VanDorne=] in the episode "Trial":

* Unintentional example from "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibb15n_QNwE Rock Star]]" by Prima J., heard in ''[[Film/{{Bratz}} Bratz The Movie]]''.

* Unintentional example from ''[[Film/{{Bratz}} Bratz The Movie]]'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibb15n_QNwE Rock Star]] by Prima J.

* In ''WebComic/ScarletLady'', this is [[ItsAllAboutMe Chloé's]] default excuse for anyone saying or doing anything against her. Classmates complaining about her being a SpoiledBrat and bully? They're just jealous. Akuma rampaging through the city? Jealous. Magically animated objects coming to life and attacking her? Yup, they're just DrivenByEnvy too.
In ''Fanfic/StarOfWonderStarOfNight'', Hime responds this way to Nagisa commenting on her snobbishness.

* ''Series/TheSexTrip'': Jess refuses to believe Eddie's warnings about Matt because she interprets them as being based in jealousy, specifically believing that "Edna" had lied about [[MistakenForGay not being a lesbian]].

* ''Fanfic/{{I See What You Do Behind Closed Doors|MiraculousLadybug}}'': After learning that Marinette was [[CassandraTruth telling the truth]] about [[BitchInSheepsClothing Lila]], most of her classmates attempt to convince her that it was ''her fault'' they assumed this about her, since [[EveryoneCanSeeIt they all knew]] about her crush on Adrien. Unamused, Marinette reminds them that she helped her rival Kagami land a date with Adrien, then tears into Kim when he ''continues'' to stick to this excuse. She then [[RejectedApology rejects their apologies]]; while she could have forgiven them for falling for Lila's TooGoodToBeTrue claims, the fact that they're blaming ''her'' rather than [[NeverMyFault admitting fault]] makes her uninclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

-->My friends are getting kinda worried,\\
They think I'm turning into some kind of freak\\
But they're just jealous 'cause I've seen ''Porky's''\\

* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' this comes up whenever Akane gets a dangerous powerup. For example:
** Relatively early on, she ate a bowl of "super soba," which increased her strength to godlike levels, with her lording said strength over Ranma. The problem though is that the super soba is only meant to be consumed by men. The side effect of a woman eating super soba? Increase testosterone production that would have eventually given her a full beard. When Ranma tried explaining this to her, she [[IgnoredExpert completely ignored him]] and claimed he was just jealous... until she sprouted whiskers. She couldn't devour the antidote fast enough.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' gives us two examples, with the same pony on different sides of it: In "Griffon the Brush-Off," when Pinkie Pie denounces Gilda as a {{jerkass}}, Twilight Sparkle attributes it to jealousy over Rainbow Dash wanting to catch up with an old friend. Then, in "A Canterlot Wedding: Part 1," when Twilight Sparkle thinks something is up with Princess Cadence, just about ''everyone''[[spoiler:—up to and including ''Princess Celestia''—]]accuses ''her'' of being overly possessive of [[CoolBigBro her brother]]. [[spoiler:In both cases, the "jealous" pony was [[CassandraTruth right all along]]: Gilda really ''was'' horrible to everyone [[PetTheDog except Rainbow Dash]]; and Cadence really ''was'' evil... because she'd been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor.]]
* Scooby-Doo tells Shaggy he's just jealous of when he knocks Scooby's crush on actress Creator/SandyDuncan in ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'' episode "Sandy Duncan's Jekyll And Hyde".

* In ''Film/{{Belle}}'', Elizabeth pulls this on Dido when Dido tries to tell her about James assaulting her.

* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': In "Cuckoo for Coco Cards", Mac and Coco accuse Bloo of being jealous when his attempts to upstage her during a field trip end up scaring Mac's classmates away.

* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' did this when J.D. was dating someone Elliot didn't approve of. Of course, Elliot was justified in her suspicion but afterward, she admitted she was actually jealous.

*** And they did it again when JD sided with Dr. Cox in his disdain for Elliot clocking out at 5 as a private practice doctor. JD gives no hint whatsoever that he actually ''is'' jealous, and by all indications agrees with Cox just because ''he agrees with Cox'' of his own free will. Until Elliot basically blackmails him into "admitting" he was jealous by having Keith beat him up and wasting the time he would have spent talking to his then-girlfriend. And, again, she's treated as 100% in the right.

** Chloe also accuses Marinette of being jealous of the fact that Ladybug chose ''her'' to be Queen Bee, in order to dismiss her observations about how Ladybug wouldn't be happy with how she's continued bullying and belittling others. [[spoiler:This incident convinces her that Chloe hasn't changed at all, and leads to her stripping her of the Bee entirely.]]

* Fiona tries to use this on Shrek in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', but it doesn't work so well.
