* ''Fanfic/FeralnetteAUBigFatBreak'': Lila learns why this rule is in place during the ''Birds of a Feather'' arc. During the events of "[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E24Ladybug Ladybug]]", she successfully got Marinette expelled, then [[KarmaHoudini evaded any serious punishment]] even after the deception was revealed to [[AdultsAreUseless Principal Damocles and Ms. Bustier]]. When Marinette opts to [[TakingTheHeat take the heat]] in [[spoiler:Alya's place]], Lila [[JustBetweenYouAndMe gloats about how]] she'll get her expelled ''for good'' this time. However, she's shocked to learn that [[spoiler:''Chloe'' of all people]] secretly took steps to ensure such a scheme wouldn't work; Principal Damocles calmly informs both girls that expulsion is not an option because [[spoiler:Chloe says Marinette is tutoring her, and will [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections bring her father's wrath]] down upon the school if he kicks her out again]].

* ''Fanfic/DinosaurAPrehistoricParkAdventure'' has a heroic example in ''Extinction Lasts Forever''. When [[spoiler:Diablo breaks out]], Irwin tries to attack him the same way he did Matilda. Unfortunately, he forgot that the staff had added a shock collar to prevent this kind of incident from happening again.

[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
* In ''Fanfic/ThePowerOfSeven'', Voldemort notes that he's breaking this rule, with one critical adjustment: [[spoiler:using real bait in Demelza]]. Ultimately, this change [[spoiler:doesn't help; Harry and his bondmates not only confirm that the bait is real this time around, but construct a more detailed plan than the one they'd used the first time round]].

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'']]
* ''Fanfic/ReactingToTheLoudHouse'' uses this to [[AdaptationalExplanation help explain]] Lynn's behavior in "No Such Luck". Lynn had gone on a winning streak by using the exact same tactics for every game. When her opponents caught on and adjusted accordingly, she started losing, leading her to start trying different "rituals" in order to win again.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* {{Averted}} in ''Fanfic/WinterStorm''. Queen Chrysalis does her research before enacting another plan that hinges on the same scheme of [[spoiler:kidnapping and impersonating a princess]], learning from the mistakes she'd made the first time around. As a result, it works perfectly.

[[AC:''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'']]
* ''Fanfic/TheSwordOfJusticeAndTheShieldOfTime'' [[PlayingWith plays with this]]. [[{{Seers}} Oriko's powers]] warn her that Homura is a major threat to her plans due to her time traveling abilities, so she resolves to take her down first this time around. However, during her battle with [[spoiler:Oktavia]], Oriko has another vision of the future that convinces her to alter her plans completely.

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''Fanfic/CodeLyokoEG'': While researching XANA's past schemes, Sunset discovers that this is one of its weaknesses, and explains as much to the rest of the Warriors in Chapter 25:
-->'''Sunset:''' Think about it. XANA had a perfect plan keeping Fluttershy out of the towers when he possessed the bees. If he combined that with, let's say, that time in the gymnasium, he would have won easily, but he didn't. He never combines multiple attacks from past records, nor does he actually learn. He's just trying multiple things until he finds something that works.

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Batman}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/CatTales'' [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on this practice; all of the RoguesGallery have struggled with 'Writer's Block' from time to time, having trouble coming up with new crimes that follow their signature themes.

[[AC:''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'']]
* PlayedWith in ''[[Fanfic/Swing123andgarfieldodiesCalvinverse The Calvinverse]]'': Holographic Retro started off attempting to fulfill his human counterpart's goal of re-creating the Imaginator. Once Electro explained how stupid that idea was during their VillainTeamUp, Holographic Retro [[TheStarscream abandoned that idea and started following his own agenda]].

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'']]
* [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the ''Fanfic/FacingTheFutureSeries'' where Technus tried to repeat his plan of taking control of the Cybertron satellite. As he stated, "A good idea is a good idea". Granted, this is one time where it would've succeeded this time as Danny couldn't use the same method he stopped him with the first time.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]
* [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in Season 2 of ''Fanfic/TheNewAdventuresOfInvaderZim'', where Nyx proves her loyalty to Zim by presenting him with a datafile relating to one of his earlier plans, which makes him realize that he can modify the plan and make it work this time. What exactly that plan is, however, is currently unknown.

[[AC:''Franchise/MegaMan'']]
* In ''Fanfic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'', this is played straight most of the time, but averted in episode 11 where Wily decides to repeat a semi-successful plan in the hopes of hurting Mega more.
