- 13 Minutes: Kripo chief Nebe condemns Elser for attempting to assassinate Hitler, and also killing seven bystanders in the bombing, asking him what right he had to kill them. At the same time, he's making a list of patients held in asylums on Hitler's orders, who will later be killed as part of the Aktion T4 "euthanasia" program. Of course, he's only concerned with the lives of able-bodied "Aryan" people. The Communists who condemn Nazi misdeeds suffer from this as well, since the USSR did much the same thing (though in fairness they might not know about all of the atrocities at this point).
- 3 Generations: Dolly is a lesbian who struggles accepting Ray as her straight trans boy grandson and asks why he couldn't be a lesbian rather than undergoing a gender transition. She acts very much like a lot of straight people would toward a gay or lesbian relative, obliviously so. Ironically her daughter Maggie, Ray's mother, accepts him where Dolly doesn't.
- Absolutely Anything: For all that the aliens preach about how destruction is "good" and mercy is "evil" after The Reveal, once Dennis uses his new wish-granting powers to destroy them, the last words one of the aliens utters are "The dog is evil."
- American Nightmare (1983): Hamilton Blake is the head of a charity dedicated to abused and at-risk children, yet has been secretly molesting his own child behind the others' backs.
- ...And Justice for All: Judge Henry T. Fleming is a staunch conservative who thinks punishments should be much harsher than they are, with no sympathy toward convicts (even when they turn out to be innocent). It is revealed he's a rapist himself, not only having no remorse, but casually saying he would like to do the same thing again.
- The Big Lebowski: Pretty much every named character in the film.
- The Dude goes on a long quest involving millionaires, vanished trophy wives, feminist artists and God alone knows what else, long after the rug has ceased to be the issue at hand, but always claims that the only thing he wants is his rug back. And remember, there was nothing wrong with the rug a dry cleaner couldn't fix.
- Walther is a blustering Miles Gloriosus, who backs down almost immediately whenever things get actually dangerous. He also pulls a gun on an opponent who he thinks stepped over the line during a bowling match, while yelling about how he is the only one who cares about the rules.
- The Big Lebowski talks a big game about being a Self-Made Man. The money was his wife's, and the whole kidnapping plot was a scheme to steal some of that money for himself.
- Maude claims to resent sex without love, but is all too willing to mug the Dude for his fluids, and outright states she doesn't want her child's father to be anyone she has to ever meet again.
- The nihilists (who "believes in NUZZINK!") insist that the failure of their plot to steal the Big Lebowski's money is "unfair".
- Jesús Quintana walks away from a meeting with Walther, whose refusal to bowl on the Sabbath has upset the league's scheduling, screaming at the top of his voice about how much he doesn't care about Walther's attempts to psych him out.
- Billy Madison: Although Eric is right that Billy is not fit to run his father's company, in reality, neither is Eric. He is consistently shown to be a Bad Boss, sometimes being just as much of a Manchild as Billy. This is demonstrated at the end when Billy grabs the Smart Ball and chooses Eric's question to be business ethics-related. When Eric can't answer the question, he undergoes a Villainous Breakdown and tries to kill Billy, further proving that he's no better.
- Bit: One of Duke's rules for her vampire coven is to never mind control other vampires. It turns out she's been doing this to her coven for a long time without them knowing.
- Blackbeard's Ghost: Blackbeard's reaction upon discovering an electromagnetic gaff that has been foiling his attempts to *ahem* alter the odds in his companions' favor at roulette."Scurvy CHEAT!"
- Blood of the Tribades: Élisabeth condemns the priests of Bathor for being this, since although they condemn her for "abomination" by having sex with a woman, they're also turned on by this (none of them denies the fact).
- Brewster McCloud: Haskell Weeks brings in a Great Detective from another city to investigate the strangling, mainly to make himself look civic-minded and show off an uninterested Lieutenant Shaft to his bored society friends. Yet, while lecturing Shaft for supposedly relying too much on the local cops, Weeks somehow keeps a straight face while indignantly saying, "I do not admire a man who uses others as a stepping stone to gain his own ends."
- Brief crossing: Alice meets Thomas, a teenager, on ship. The whole film she lectures him on how men use and abuse women in relationships. Later she has sex with him and takes his virginity, criticizing men during the act. In the end she ditches him (after swearing that she wouldn't) and drives off with her loving husband (who she claimed was divorcing her) and her son (whom she denied having), leaving him heartbroken.
- Bumblebee: When Charlie arrives home with Bubblebee, Sally tells her she should not be doing stuff without her consent. The next morning, Sally herself takes Bumblebee for a ride without Charlie's consent.
- Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022): Sweet Pete wants to exact revenge because he was forgotten by the film industry. However, his revenge is ruining the lives of hundreds of toons who had nothing to do with it.
- In Cinderella (2015), part of Lady Tremaine's resentment towards Ella is that Ella's father was still in love with his first wife. However during her Motive Rant, Tremaine makes it clear that she preferred her first husband, describing him as the one she married for love.
- Christmas with the Kranks: When the Kranks finally cave and try to set up their Christmas celebrations, all of the neighbors give them a hard time over it, acting like the wounded party after harassing them continuously for weeks. Special mention goes to Vic, who has to talk the community into helping them while calling Luther "a spoiled, selfish little baby."
- The Circle (2017): Eamon says all knowledge must be shared, secrets are lies, and even people's entire lives should become transparent. Meanwhile, he keeps lots of knowledge secret himself. Mae exposes him publicly near the end.
- Clown Kill: The supervisor chews out and then fires the janitor for constantly sexually harassing Jenny. After he leaves, we learn there's a female under the supervisor's desk, and he makes her give him a blowjob.
- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Koba, even though he attempted to kill Caesar and murdered several apes, including Ash, tries to convince Caesar to spare him by saying "Ape Shall Never Kill Ape".
- Die Another Day: North Korean Colonel Moon, having Majored in Western Hypocrisy, fits this rather well. He sees Western culture as being beneath him. He also loves Western sports cars, his chief ally is his British girlfriend, and he changed his whole appearance to a Caucasian magnate to further his plot.
- Divergent:
- In Divergent, when Tris shoots Peter to get information, Marcus asks "did you have to shoot him?" — which is very hypocritical coming from the abusive father.
- In The Divergent Series: Insurgent, this is highlighted with Evelyn too. She claims that she fled Marcus because he was cruel and abusive, getting a very cold look from Tris because she still abandoned her son.
- In Doctor in Love, Sir Lancelot is quick to complain about Lady Spratt's driving, but once he's behind the wheel, he becomes a reckless menace.
- Equilibrium: Vice Council DuPont rules over the totalitarian Libria by forcing all citizens to take emotion-supressing drugs and destroying artwork in case it stimulates unnecessary emotion. When Preston raids his office at the climax of the film, it's lavishly decorated with art that didn't get incinerated, and DuPont states outright that he is a sense offender as a last ditch appeal to avoid his execution by Preston. Although since the original Father is stated to be dead, it is unknown whether he was a hypocrite or not
- The Family Plan: Dan's son Kyle angrily calls him a hypocrite for trying to stop him play violent video games, because it turns out that Dan is a trained assassin who's killed people.
- Five Nights at Freddy's (2023):
- When the animatronics break out of his control, Afton starts angrily belittling them, calling them "wretched, rotten little beasts" and reminding them of the "nasty things" they've become. Not a second after, he reminds them that he "created" them (aka, made them into "nasty things") and treats it like a reason they should be grateful to him.
- For all her arguments about Mike being an unfit parental figure for Abby, Aunt Jane isn't exactly much better herself since she only wants custody of Abby to receive government funding rather than actually wanting to take proper care of her. The fact that she simply watches TV instead of checking up on Abby while Mike is at work speaks volumes.
- Fools' Parade: Doc Council taunts Cottrill for sweating (insinuating that he’s a weak or untrustworthy man while claiming it isn’t too hot outside) while visibly sweating himself. He and Grindstaff also agree that criminals like the convicts don't deserve the $25,000 moments after casually discussing their own complicity in embezzlement and murder.
- James Bond himself in For Your Eyes Only: He tries to prevent Melina from avenging her parents, despite the fact that he had just killed the guy who murdered his wife in the cold open.
- Four Lions: The Lions all think of themselves as champions of Islam, but none of them seem particularly religious or motivated. Hassan admits he only visits mosque once in a blue moon, and Barry outright tells him that going to mosque once a year is once a year too often, since he sees everyone in there as sellouts and spies anyway. Waj is The Ditz and doesn't understand the difference between facing Mecca and facing east to pray - it has to be pointed out to him that when he's in Pakistan, he needs to pray west to be doing it correctly. Omar is Culturally Religious and laughs off the Actual Pacifist arguments of his deeply conservative Muslim brother Ahmed. And then Faisal, the most devout of all the group, is just following his dementia-addled father's instructions (and he probably isn't of sound mind either).
- In fact, there's also how the Lions denounce western culture as spiritually empty and obsessed with escapism, technology and nonsense, but the Lions enjoy and repeatedly reference pop music, Xbox video games, Disney films, and the Alton Towers theme park. Waj even makes a Rambo reference while he's firing off a Kalashnikov at a Pakistani jihadist training camp (for extra credits, when the trainer finally loses it with their incompetence and sends them home, he compares Waj to Mr. Bean).
- Fury (2014) has a scene where the protagonists capture a German corporal wearing an American G.I.'s jacket, presumably a Battle Trophy — they bully him and eventually execute him. They do this as American soldiers around them can be seen looting German dead. There's also the SS Lieutenant who orders children who refused to fight the invading Americans to be hanged for "cowardice", only to surrender without a fight to the Americans himself — they execute him too.
- Gran Torino: As a lot of Racist Grandpas, Walt regards himself as a man who knows plenty about life and death, and who is abused by those (other races) surrounding him. Everyone else thinks is a Grumpy Old Man Jaded Washout Cranky Neighbor. The movie shows his Character Development from this to a realistic assessment of his qualities and weakness.
- Guyana: Crime of the Century: During a night, Johnson is told about a man and a woman having extramarital sex beneath some bushes, and goes directly to the scene to call them out for it and then expose them in front of the commune's population (and do so with them still naked, for further shaming); the man even tries to tell Johnson that they were going to ask him to officiate their wedding the next day, but Johnson doesn't buy it. This is the same James Johnson who has had affairs with a woman other than his wife (Anna Kazan), even sleeping with her recurringly.
- Hail Satan?: Satanists note that while the Catholic Church in Boston protests at their having a black mass (a ritual mocking Catholic mass) privately, they are guilty of far worse, having covered up mass child sexual abuse. Further, they're repeatedly accused of being a hate group by Christians who clearly despise the Satanists for existing.
- A History of Violence: Tom Stahl displays hypocrisy twice in a matter of seconds. First he calls his son out on curb stomping two bullies after he himself shot two men dead (granted, they had it coming a lot more than the bullies). Then, when his son points out his hypocrisy, he slaps him — this being seconds after telling him "in this family we don't hit people".
- Horrible Bosses: Harken accuses Nick, Dale and Kurt of being criminals even though he killed Pellit and tried to frame them for the murder.
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas!: As the Grinch points out during his "The Reason You Suck" Speech, the Whos claim Christmas is all about the gifts, yet they throw away all their gifts, not even a week after having them.Grinch: You know what happens to your gifts? They all come to me. In your garbage. You see what I'm saying? In your garbage!
- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1:
- The Capitol condemns the violence of the rebels, while conveniently overlooking how Districts 12 and 13 were utterly destroyed and how the other Districts have been dominated and forced to send their children to be slaughtered for generations.
- When Boggs explains to Katniss that the reason why District 13 hasn't used its arsenal of weapons against the Capitol is that they fear the resulting conflict would cost more lives than the human race can afford to spare, Katniss shoots back that when Peeta made the same argument he was called a traitor.
- Hypocrites is about how all the members of a local church congregation are, well, hypocrites. A politician who campaigns on the slogan "My Platform Is Honesty" is shown taking payoffs. A man and woman getting engaged are shown to be a cheater and a Gold Digger, respectively. The young people on the beach who get all shocked over the sight of a nude woman are shown cavorting in skimpy (for 1915) swimsuits.
- Island of Death: Serial killers Christopher and Celia claim to be on a mission to weed out those they regard as perverted, even though they themselves are engaged in some genuinely perverse behavior themselves, namely incest and sexual sadism. Meanwhile, their victims' only "crimes" are expressing natural sexual desires and/or not being straight.
- Judgment at Nuremberg: The defendants' lawyer Rolfe repeatedly accuses the American authorities of this, explicitly and otherwise. In the case of a man supposedly sterilized for being a Communist, Rolfe shows that he probably is mentally disabled (the Nazis passed a law to sterilize them), although political retaliation likely played a role too. He had earlier noted their sterilization law was based on the American one, subtly asking "How do you condemn something which your country does too?" These laws were still on the books in the US too, when the film was released. After the film on the Holocaust, he also claims it's hypocritical that Americans condemned this when talking with Janning in relation to the atomic bombings of Japan.
- The Jungle Book has Shere Khan saying that he helps protect the jungle, yet he hunts for sport, threatens the life of a child, and murders Akela for defiance, all human-like traits. He also speaks highly of the jungle law and calls out the wolf pack for adopting Mowgli, but he truly holds little regard for the law and shamelessly breaks it whenever it suits him.
- Kelly's Heroes: A comedic example occurs when Captain Maitland sternly admonishes his platoon about the consequences of looting in World War II France while brazenly making off with a salvaged yacht. The irony is lost on him but not on his men.
- Kick-Ass 2: Katie is furious at Dave's alleged cheating (which he wasn't), despite the fact that she has been cheating on him for some time.
- Knives Out: The Thrombey family is this.
- They all tell Marta that they will take care of her like she is one of the family but when she is named sole inheritor, they quickly turn on her and demand that she respects the real family.
- All the other Thrombey members are elated to find out that Ransom has been cut from Harlan's will, saying it was the best thing to happen to him. They quickly start singing a different tune when they find out that none of them are in the will. Ransom is quick to point this out.
- Linda, Walt, and Joni all believe themselves to be self-made and repeatedly say it to others but the reality is that all of them depend and rely on Harlan's money.
- Linda often boasts about the virtues of being a Self-Made Man, but she is the first one to accuse Marta of having slept their way into getting the inheritance.
- Joni justifies discrediting and ruining Marta to her daughter by claiming that they need to protect "their" inheritance, but out of the Thrombey family, Joni is the least entitled to anything (being that she is not an actual blood family member).
- Meg is noted to be more left-wing than her family and claims to reject everything they stand for, but she bows to pressure from them once they are all cut out of Harlan's will. She also disdains Ransom for being a "trust fund prick" even though Meg is as spoiled as him and is completely reliant on Harlan's money.
- In the black-and-white drama La Ferme des Sept Péchés, the few characters who defend Paul-Louis Courier point out that he stood up for the oppressed in both writing and action, as shown when he rescues the village idiot from a gang of bullies. Every other testimony, however, show him behaving like a tyrannical landlord, whether by pointing a gun at poor villagers picking up dead wood in "his" forest, or brutally throwing out a beggar looking for work on his farm.
- Law Abiding Citizen:
- Clyde is enraged that Prosecutor Nick willingly made a deal that helped a killer, thereby subverting the ideals of the justice system. Before the events of the film, however, Clyde made his living willingly helping professional killers to do their work outside the justice system.
- At the beginning of the movie, Nick tries to justify cutting a deal with Clarence Darby by claiming the justice system is imperfect. As film goes out of its way to demonstrate, that very mentality is why the justice system is so imperfect.
- Legally Blonde: The head of a fitness company is on trial for her husband's murder. She has a solid alibi, but to reveal it would still destroy her: at the time of the murder she was out getting liposuction.
- Liar Liar: Given the opportunity to tell Miranda what he really thinks of her, Fletcher doesn't call her petty and vindictive for trying to get him in trouble with the firm's senior partners, nor a sexual predator for dangling the prospect of promotion in front of a subordinate in exchange for sex. Nope, he, who we are told was routinely unfaithful to his wife, and later sexually harassed a woman because he can't stop staring at her large breasts, calls Miranda a slut.
- Little Big Man has Mrs. Pendrake, the wife of a fire-and-brimstone preacher who adopts Jack Crabb and tries to see to his moral and spiritual instruction. After he catches her having sex with a shopkeeper in town, he swears off religion for good and joins up with Snake Oil Salesman Mr. Merriweather. As Crabb puts it in his narration, "After Mrs. Pendrake, his honesty was downright refreshing." Later in the film he discovers that she has become a prostitute following the death of her husband...but apparently hasn't changed her way of thinking. As she complains to Jack, "This life is not only wicked and sinful, it isn't even any fun. If I was married and could come here once or twice a week, it might be fun." She also admits that when Jack was living with her and the Reverend, she would watch him sleeping and be tempted to wake him up. "I wish that I had," she says. "It would have been deliciously wicked." Apparently Mrs. Pendrake is the kind of person who genuinely believes that certain activities are immoral... and gets off on them for precisely that reason.
- Little Miss Sunshine: The whole pageant. Apparently, it's okay to have preteen girls parade around in bikinis with tons of makeup on, but Olive's "Super Freak" act is going too far. Presumably, it's not okay for "fat" girls.
- The 1975 film adaptation of The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum ends with Tötges' editor delivering a speech at his funeral about how his murder was an attack on democracy and the freedom of the press despite the paper's own blatant disregard for other people's civil liberties.
M-Z
- Immortan Joe of Mad Max: Fury Road has a whole lot of this going on. He proudly talks about being the hypermasculine ideal and is The Social Darwinist to the extreme, yet Joe himself is a Dark Lord on Life Support who is obese and covered in what appear to be tumors. He also beseeches his populace to "not become addicted to water", in demonstrations that involve wasting as much water as possible, and forces a harsh lifestyle on his subjects even though he himself is proud to indulge in all manner of Conspicuous Consumption.
- Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials: Teresa explains to Thomas that they should go back to WCKD to help all those who aren't immune to the flare, yet this is a sacrifice she is unwilling to make herself, having cut a deal with WCKD to exempt herself and her friends.
- Modesta: The friends of the title character's husband. They listen and nod while he insults Modest by calling her a gossip. And then they run off and tell a neighbor, who tells another guy, who tells someone else, and so on. The gossip finally reaches the neighborhood women.
- MonsterVerse:
- Kong: Skull Island: Preston Packard uses Kong killing several of his men as an excuse to hunt down and seek to kill the King of the Primates at all costs, yet he doesn't think anything of the fact he's leading his remaining men to their deaths all to satisfy his own vendetta and refuses to take responsibility for it.
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019):
- The eco-terrorist mole Emma Russell has quite a lot of this. One of her core motivations for seeking to indiscriminately awaken all the Titans as part of a Utopia Justifies the Means is ensuring her son's death in Godzilla's past battle against the MUTOs wasn't "in vain", yet she seems stunningly oblivious to the fact her plan involves forcing millions of other families to lose their sons the exact same way — what makes this even more hypocritical is that when it's her single daughter instead of everybody else's children that's in mortal danger, Emma throws away all her former "few for the many" arguments and her Evil Plan to try and rescue her daughter at all costs. At another point, Emma gets rightfully called out by Alan Jonah for telling him to leave her daughter out of their The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized argument as it's something Emma has absolutely no right to say after she's gotten her daughter involved with a radical Eco-Terrorist paramilitary plot to engineer a worldwide cataclysm.
- Mark Russell also has quite a bit of this about him. He, nursing a Tragic Bigotry against the Titans over his own child's death, hisses "Don't kid yourself" in a Holier Than Thou tone when Serizawa says he believes some of the Titans are benevolent; ignoring that he should logically know better than anyone present that that's actually quite likely since the Titans are essentially giant animals hailing from various primordial species. Mark also scorns his ex-wife Emma putting her Monarch work before her own wellbeing and her family, when Mark is guilty of letting a bottle of alcohol and a weak will ruin his own wellbeing and lead him to turning his back on his remaining family when they needed him.
- Alan Jonah also has shades of this as a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist. He shoots down Emma's attempt to get him to let her go by claiming "man does not control the laws of nature" — which is very rich coming from Jonah, considering his entire mission throughout the film has been to prevent the government's Titan-exterminating plan from ruining the world by indiscriminately releasing all the Titans and expecting he could control them with the ORCA. Jonah also claims one human life doesn't matter and indeed he's perfectly willing to cause billions of deaths (in fact, it's his core motivation as a Misanthrope Supreme), but it's hinted that preserving his own life is at least one of the reasons why he backs down once Emma points a gun at him.
- The Godzilla vs. Kong novelization's Adaptation Expansion on Ren Serizawa's personality and motivations gives him a few cases of this. Ren is derisive of Walter Simmons' egotistical motivations even though he himself displays extreme arrogance and hubris, and Ren thinks the Titans are nothing more than a new kind of animal that humanity needs to master per The Right of a Superior Species but suddenly thinks he's a Physical God of utter perfection when he's hooked up what amounts to an as-yet-untested bucket of bolts. Worst of all, Ren considers Godzilla a monster who deserves to die because thousands of casualties have occurred over time during Godzilla's past battles defending his global domain from hostile Titans, yet it doesn't occur to Ren that his Mecha taking Godzilla's place will be no different, and it seems that to Ren it's unacceptable when Godzilla's battles incur unintentional casualties but it's perfectly okay when Ren and Simmons are callously and knowingly engineering thousands of unnecessary casualties left and right.
- Mosul (2020): For all their talk about fighting for Islam and preaching their moral high ground against foreign "infidels", the Islamic State demonstrate a complete lack for anything resembling religious piety by killing scores of civilians, wanton destruction of Iraq and engaging in sinful vices. A member of the Nineveh Province SWAT team (themselves Muslims) lampshades this when he comes across a large stash of Western pornographic material after clearing a Daesh hideout.Jasem: (disgusted) "Everything about them is empty."
- Perfect Strangers: Every character shows his share of hypocrisy as the messages he receives are made public to the others.
- In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Will tries to convince Elizabeth not to go with Sao Feng's crew by telling her, "Elizabeth, they're pirates." He himself has been a pirate ever since the second act of the first movie.
- Plácido ruthlessly skewers the upper-class snobbery and hypocrisy of the bourgeois in 1961 Spain. A charitable promotion (itself a cynical campaign by a cookware company) urges the upper class to invite the homeless in for dinner on Christmas Eve. Most of them do it, but none because they actually care about the poor and homeless and want to help them. Instead, they all want to be seen as people who care about the poor and homeless and want to help them; it's all about status and looking good in front of the neighbors. And none of them for example are interested in helping truck driver Placido, who isn't obviously a homeless bum, but is in fact quite poor and spends the whole movie trying to get paid for services rendered so he can stop his truck from being repossessed.
- The Princess Diaries: Lily in the first film hates the A-Crowd right up until she realizes Mia's A-Crowd by birth. At first she can't stand Mia's makeover, until she realizes that Mia is a princess, and later gives a list of reasons why Mia shouldn't be a princess, but since she is a princess anyway wouldn't she coming on Lily's show?
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Dr. Frank N. Furter sees no problem with people having random sex with one another... unless it's with Rocky. He cannot stand seeing anyone besides him with Rocky.
- The Shawshank Redemption: Warden Norton in is one of the most hateful and finest examples in cinema. A man who claims to be a man of God but is incredibly corrupt and will resort to murdering his prisoners to get what he wants.
- She's All That: When Zack goes to see Laney at her workplace, she pulls him aside and tells him, that she can't tutor him. Laney had accused Zack of stereotyping her, and assuming that because she's a "dork," she must be smart. As it turned out, Zack wasn't thinking that, and in fact, she had actually been stereotyping him by assuming that because he's the Big Man on Campus, Class President, the best-looking and most popular guy in school, etc., that he must be dumb or a poor student. (To be fair, though, Laney was motivated by a suspicion that Zack had an ulterior motive for wanting to talk to her. And she was actually right about that.)Laney: I'm not smart.Zack: What?Laney: What, you figure I could tutor you or something? You think, "Oh, well, there's Laney Boggs. She's a dork."Zack: Look, Laney -Laney: "She must at least be smart." Well, guess what, I'm not.Zack: Laney, I have the fourth-highest G.P.A. in our class!
- Sonic the Hedgehog (2020): Dr. Robotnik constantly harps on how machines are better than people because machines are efficient and obey him without fail, yet he gets mad at Agent Stone for prioritizing his safety over taking the initiative and chasing after Tom and Sonic when they get away. Additionally, when Robotnik catches Knuckles invading his mech alongside Tails, he remarks that the echidna is disloyal, even though he's the one who betrayed him first.
- Space Jam: A New Legacy: Al-G Rhythm has been using any opportunity he can to cheat at the climatic game, from using the Calvinball style of Dom Ball to directly sabotaging the Tune Squad to prevent them from scoring when he enters the court. Yet he has the nerve to call out LeBron and Dom for cheating to make the final basket.
- Steam (2007): Laurie's ex-husband Tom attacks her for being with a younger man, while he himself is married to a woman many years his junior. She calls him out for the fact, but he insists that it's different as she's a mother (which changes things somehow to him).
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows:
- Raphael is angry at Leonardo for lying to him about the possibility that the ooze could turn the Turtles human... so he lies to April and Casey to get them to help him retrieve the ooze from the police station. Back in the lair, Leonardo calls him out on it once he finds out about it.
- Shredder calls Krang out for betraying him after he brought the Technodrone to Earth, conveniently forgetting that he did the same to Baxter Stockman a moment ago.
- They/Them (2022): Sarah claims she's ex-gay, then sexually harasses Kim after baking class. Veronica and Kim both angrily denounce her for this later.
- Timbuktu: The Islamists are occasionally shown to be hypocrites. They have outlawed smoking, but one of their leaders, Abdelkerim, smokes secretly. He tries to hide it from his men, but they all know and don't care. They punish adultery with stoning, yet Abdelkerim has designs on a married woman. They have also outlawed soccer, but several soldiers are shown discussing the World Cup as fans.
- Transcendence:
- RIFT murder countless people whilst espousing the values of human life. In achieving their goal of "unplugging" society they're responsible for killing countless millions more.
- Bree believes that Will isn't human and therefore is a threat to humanity. In the climax, she threatens Max to get Will to upload the virus, even though a machine wouldn't care for the fate of one man. Will then willingly destroys himself to save Max even though he could have saved both his wife and himself, not to mention wiped out all the threats to himself at the same time. In short, Bree ends up using Will's humanity against him when trying to argue that he isn't human.
- Transformers: Age of Extinction: Harold Attinger is the paranoid leader of Cemetery Wind, an organization dedicated to destroying all Transformers, regardless of faction, on Earth to replace them with man-made Transformers which he feels will defend the nation. However, there are two problems that show what a colossal hypocrite he is. First is that he's working with a Transformer, Lockdown, in order to get rid of the Autobots and obtain Transformers technology he needs. Second, he's more than willing to allow innocent people to get killed in the crossfire to achieve his goals and prove the superiority of the man-made Transformers (evidenced when he refused to allow rescue services for the people he's endangered). This, alongside allowing his men to harm Cade's daughter and giving Lockdown the okay to level Beijing to avoid his plans being revealed, his "us or them" rant at Cade Yeager doesn't work since he's allowed many of "us" to die.
- Troy: Menelaus condemns Helen for cheating on him with Paris, even though Menelaus was seen cavorting with servant girls earlier.
- Bill Daggett, the Rabid Sheriff Big Bad of Unforgiven, is a horrendously hypocritical man. He sounds appalled when Villain Protagonist William Munny shoots dead an unarmed Skinny with a shotgun (Skinny definitely deserved it though), calling him a "cowardly son of a bitch". Coming from a fellow who inflicts Police Brutality against unarmed old men while safely surrounded by his deputies, that is a bit rich. Also, he openly calls himself better than English Bob and William Munny - but Bill is shown to be a far more dangerous and violent man than English Bob, and too much of a Knight Templar to have any measure of remorse for his deeds, unlike Munny.
- Where Hands Touch: Lutz says when Leyna asks about the US that black people are hanged and burned there, saying he's seen it in the Hitler Youth meetings. Yet of course the Nazis feel little better about them than any white American racists, with their milder treatment only being because so few black people existed in Germany back then. Not to mention that they did the same to the Jews and others.
- Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. For a toon who claims they are crazy, he is a legitimately crazy toon. In addition, he's acting for the majority of the film, as Knight Templar who despises all humor, but is really a Serial Killer using the law to kill his fellow toons for the fun of it, a former bank robber motivated by Greed and sadism. And having a sadistic sense of humor with a penchant of Black Comedy type murders.
- The Whale:
- Ellie is extremely cruel to Charlie, telling him that he's too disgusting to look at or be around due to his food addiction. She's also a smoker who steals her mother's pills to get high (and drugs Charlie with them).
- Mary is also very unsympathetic towards Charlie, but she is a prescription pill addict and alcoholic who is also, at best, a struggling and overwhelmed mother.
- Thomas preaches the word of God to Charlie and encourages him to repent for his "sin" (his sexuality), but he is estranged from his own church and family due to stealing money and being seemingly addicted to weed, even falling Off the Wagon when he's with Ellie.
- Willy's Wonderland: Sheriff Lund claims that she is sacrificing many people to the animatronics in the hopes that they would stop their killing spree, but she handcuffs the Janitor and tries to feed him to Willy when the Janitor actually takes care of the situation by successfully destroying the other animatronics.
- The Wolf of Wall Street: Jordan Belfort is a crook who leeches money off of clients (or "stooges" as he would call them) who complains when the FBI starts knocking at his door. He accuses Naomi of being a Gold Digger when she asks for a divorce when his ship is sinking, forgetting that he only took her as his mistress and wife because he saw her as a Trophy Wife and cheated on Teresa, the woman who was genuinely loyal to him.
