* The magnificent ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' fic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/963803/1/Go_Not_Gently Go Not Gently] stands back and lets its [[Psycho Prototype|vi]][[Evil Former Friend|ll]][[Driven to Villainy|ai]][[Fallen Hero|n]] deliver an absolutely ''cutting'' speech to an [[She

* In Chapter Three of the novel-length ''[[Daria]]'' [[Fanfic]] ''It's All About Respect'', Sandi Griffin delivers a blistering [[Colony Drop]] version of one of these to Daria, in front of a lunch-room crowd:
{{quote|
'''Daria:''' "You have no right to say that about me."
'''Sandi:''' "I have every right to say it. You make fun of all of us. You think we're idiots, running around doing nothing of any real worth, just acting stupid and wasting time until we're dead while YOU cage yourself up in the dark in libraries and such, doing your living by reading constantly about the people who had the guts to do what you won't -- which is go out and LIVE! You make fun of people like Kevin, and Brittany, and Charles. You make fun of things like the 'Lowdown', the Fashion Club and the football team, and people like Andrea -- hell people like Mack and ME are afraid that someday, you'll notice them and start chopping away at them, hurting their feelings because you don't want to feel good yourself and don't want to know why! You treat us like idiots! Yes, we're not all as smart as you -- and by the way, even though we ARE the idiots, we still outnumber you - and if we wanted, we could stampede over you. But do you know why we don't? Because we don't NOTICE you. You see -- we're having fun. We're out doing things. We fight among ourselves, we do stupid things, we make others notice us, but above everything else… we're living. We're alive - and whether we're in pain, or happy or getting screwed by the system, we're gonna keep going -- but YOU! You're a black hole for happiness -- you're world-class buzzkill! It's kind of like what Billy Thomas said on '[[Ally McBeal]]' -- 'Life is wasted on you, Daria! Life is wasted on you because you'll never enjoy it!' You're worse than a 'misery chick' -- you're Sally Field in 'Soapdish!' '''No matter how many chances you get for happiness, you'll just screw them up because you are the Queen -- of -- MISERY!"''' }}
** Jane gives Daria the OTHER barrel of the coach gun moments later with an equally harsh speech -- and then, in Chapter Five, Daria herself gives one of these to Trent Lane:
{{quote|
'''Daria:''' "You're not doing ANYTHING with, to or for me -- there are better-looking ways to get an STD, and you've probably never heard of antibiotics. What, piss-poor lyrics make you dumb AND deaf? Let me make it simple, so even a non-guitar playing bag of skin, bones and smell like you can understand without you needing your wannabe psychic earth-mother floating around on bong smoke to translate: GET -- AWAY -- FROM -- ME. GO -- THE -- HELL -- AWAY. FUCK -- OFF!" (pauses) "So you are capable of learning. I guess that empty look in your eyes is just for decoration -- well, something about you should be physically appealing to someone someday. Study up on '2+ 2' -- maybe you'll SOMEDAY be able to swing that job collecting tolls on the Jersey Turnpike. It's your kind of career, Trent: money, respect AND intellectual development. Maybe you'll pull down a Nobel Prize for your fundamental breakthroughs in counting loose change." (Trent steps away.) "Smart call, two-ply. Now practice playing the scales -- it'll help you pass the time in the Public Aid Office while you wait for your appointment to get food stamps. Better yet, close your eyes while you're there and count all the fans you'll have when you make it -- my God, are you done already?"
'''Jesse:''' "Daria, c'mon --"
'''Daria:''' "Are YOU trying to develop the concept of speech and evolve?" (shoves something down Jesse's pants) "Here's a twenty; go buy a haircut, a shirt and a vasectomy. That way -- you'll be the perfect man." }}

'''Beast Boy''': I am! I ditched my lying, deceptive user of a power hungry lunatic, and found someone the complete opposite to share my life with! (''laughs'') And you were so pathetic, after getting out of your slavery in Hell with a sliver of honor, to fall right back to where you DIED. A worthless shell, used to bribe assassins with, among others no doubt, to con with, and scheme with. And now you tried to con yourself a life. With your ex no less. As a martyr to the Titans yourself, back from the dead honorably, when you really died crushing yourself by accident in the murderous rage you created from your insanity. You're pathetic Markov....See, that's your main trouble. You hate the truth Tara. You love lies. Lies are your best friend. You can shape lies. You can't shape truth. You can adjust lies by adding more lies. Adding a lie to a truth just makes it look worse. And you know what you'll end up dying with Tara? You and your lies. What a life that was. From nothing to something to nothing again. Hope you like this path, because on this planet, on the road you're on, you're pretty much screwed. Here lies Lying Manipulator. Died alone. }}

* The fan comic "The 3 Little Princesses" has Rosalina giving scathing speeches to Peach and Daisy for their behavior and the mess they put her through during their sleepover. At first, she tries to hold in her anger, but as time passed and {{spoiler|she found the Cosmic Duct tape she needed to fix her ship to get home in Peach's bathroom cabinet}}, she had enough of it. She basically told Peach she was the most obnoxious person she ever met and the way she acted contradicted with how she was suppose to act: a good ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She also lambasted Daisy by saying she has no self-esteem of her own, supposedly rules over Sarasaland (which she described as a kingdom that nobody heard of to the point of doubting its existence), and calling her loud and how she "expresses herself like a Spanish cow."
* From ''War of the Biju: The Fourth Shinobi World War'' we have this tidbit from [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Danzo]] to [[Revenge Before Reason|Sasuke]]:

'''Sasuke''': Did Konoha's higher ups order Itachi to kill the Uchiha?! Answer me!
'''Danzo''': ...does it matter if we did or not? If I say no, you'd call me a liar and try to kill me like several times before. If I replied that we did, you'll get enraged and try to kill me anyway. You let your emotions rule you more than the [[The Rival|Kyubi Jinchuriki]]. }}
* [[The Suite Life On Deck]] story Roommates has Bailey give one to Cody calling him out on his behavior that he displayed in the show after she starts showing interest in Zack. Also keep in mind she is suffering from amnesia.

* In the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] fanfic ''Morality Chain'', Azula interrogates Iroh over his betrayal at Ba Sing Se. Iroh scolds her that the whole war was brought about because of Sozin's legacy having a feud with Avatar Roku and in turn his descendant that it was endangering the overall peace of the world. However, considering, in this story, Zuko's her [[Title Drop|Morality Chain]], she was nothing but supportive to ''both'' of them in their exile (Iroh she was barely civil and only for Zuko's sake), and this action comes across as him betraying the Fire Nation. Zuko takes it especially hard, and the princess is '''not''' happy about this.
{{quote|
'''Iroh''': You have no right to say something like that.
'''Azula''': Don't I? You've been nothing but cruel to Zuko, Uncle. How am I supposed to interpret that?
'''Iroh''': Cruel?
'''Azula''': Oh? What else am I supposed to call it when you've been stringing him along for ''three years'', Uncle! [[The Mole|You never had any intention of letting him capture the Avatar!]] He ''trusted'' you, Uncle! He trusted you, and relied on you, and now you've taken all that trust and thrown it back in his face!
'''Iroh''': Those three years were meant to ''guide'' him-
'''Azula''': And even assuming your nonsense holds any water, you 'guided' him so well that no one was more surprised than Zuko when you turned on us! [[Sarcasm Mode|Excellent work, Uncle.]] You were so incompetent you couldn't even corrupt him properly. You know what, Uncle? As far as I'm concerned, you're no better towards Zuko than Father ever was. At least he was straightforward about things. }}
* The ''Futurama'' fanfic "A Second Chance" has Leela dream about meeting a clone of hers. Said clone then lays into her about her relationship with Fry.

* ''[https://www.wattpad.com/story/132307011-in-the-dark In The Dark]'', Chapter 48, Victoria gets an earful from Emma, who finally snapped after what was happening to Melanie. Emma explains she just want Melanie back after the trauma, but she comes to the conclusion on who is really to blame including herself. {{spoiler| This was likely the motivation for Melanie to overcome the trauma and face the men who nearly killed her.}}
