* There's an episode of ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' where Ray ends up in a rivalry against Peggy, the obnoxious den mother of the [[ScoutOut Frontier Girls]] troop that Ray's daughter is a member of (to elaborate, Peggy has a history of bullying the other scouts' parents--to the point where they're terrified of her--in order to get choice spots to sell cookies, thus guaranteeing that she herself will win the top prizes). Ray is apparently the first parent to stand up to her, and she reacts by trying to pull his sales table away from him in public and push him onto the ground. Ray's wife Debra shows up and tells Peggy to back off. At first one is inclined to think that Debra, who usually bullies and physically abuses Ray a lot herself, is going to finally redeem herself... but then as soon as Peggy is out of sight, Debra goes back to bullying Ray, and starts sneering at him (and in later episodes such as "A Date for Peter", she uses the events of this episode to make fun of him in public). Apparently, she doesn't really object to Ray being bullied... she merely objects to ''someone else'' bullying him, because she apparently views him as being her property (emphasized when she tells Peggy "if you've got a problem, you bring it up with me" as if Ray isn't his own person, and is merely just one of her possessions).

* Very common among Brazilians, who generally make fun of and complain about their country all the time, but are famously not welcoming when foreigners do it. A TV ad played with this -- two Brazilians are having a conversation about their country's shortcomings, but when an Argentinian joyins in and agrees with them, they switch to saying "What are you talking about? This country's wonderful, man, there's nothing to complain about" and give him a DeathGlare.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In "[[Recap/SouthParkS8E10PreSchool Pre-School]]", Shelley agrees to protect Stan and his friends from Trent Boyette, saying, "No juvenile hall turd is going to kill you. That's my job."

** In "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E25Overclockwise Overclockwise]]", [[EvilMatriarch Mom]] says, "What?! No one rips off my kids but me!"

* In ''ComicStrip/{{Blondie}}'', nobody except Dagwood's MeanBoss Mr. Dithers is allowed to yell at, kick, fire, or otherwise abuse Dagwood, period. Dithers has been known to resort to violence to enforce that rule.

* According to Music/AliceCooper in [[https://soundcloud.com/wlvq-mornings/alice-cooper this]] interview, both Music/JohnLennon and Music/PaulMcCartney held this attitude towards each other following the break-up of Music/TheBeatles. While Lennon's vitriol to his former bandmate and writing partner could be legendary (for one example, his particularly vicious example of TheDissTrack "How Do You Sleep At Night?"), according to Cooper -- who was drinking buddies with Lennon -- anyone else who dared insult [=McCartney=] in Lennon's hearing would quickly face his wrath, as the former Beatle would be willing to "take a swing" at them. [=McCartney=] was similarly loyal to Lennon despite a willingness to take (somewhat milder) pot-shots, though his disdain would be expressed less violently; he would simply get up and leave the room.

* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' the AntiHero protagonist Guts early on the Black Swordsman arc declares that he loathes the weak and anyone [[TheSocialDarwinist who can’t protect themselves deserve to die]]. Cut to the Conviction Arc where Guts is dropping everything to protect his insane and defenceless lover Casca who’s largely weak and cannot look after herself. Besides Casca, Guts also goes out of his way to protect the likes of Theresia, Jill, Farnese, Isidro and Schierke most of whom are physically quite weak. So for someone who vocally hates the defenceless, he certain saves and protects a lot of them.
