{{quote|*Player awakens {{spoiler|on a ship and looks up to see the plane burning on top of the mast}}*
'''Flintlocke''': [his head popping into view, and looking down at the player] What? Like ''you'' could have done any better! }}
*:* Hilariously done during the Fireland Invasion scenario with Ricket, a young goblin hired as an explosives expert. (The term is used loosely.) TheIn the first quest involving her, has hershe barely missmisses the player by crashing a shoddily built vehicle right in front of you, then shaking off the shock by saying the prototype needs work.
*:* There's also a running gag about the Draenei, that any time they're piloting a vehicle they'll crash it. This is likely because their capital, the Exodar, is a magic interstellar space-ship that they crashed into Azeroth. The Oshu'gun, the ship that got them from Argus to Draenor, crashed as well. Neither was actually their fault (the Oshu'gun crashed as a result of the Naaru pilot becoming corrupte and the Exodar had been sabotaged by blood elves) but the meme stuck.

*** The Oshu'gun, the ship that got them from Argus to Draenor, crashed as well. Neither was the fault of the draenei (the Oshu'gun was from their naaru pilots darkening and the Exodar was sabotaged by blood elves) but the meme stuck.
* The hero of ''[[Grandia (video game)|Grandia]] III'' has designed, built and crashed over a dozen planes before the game even starts. After his personal hero builds him a new plane, he stops crashing. Maybe it was just that he couldn't design a plane that would stay in the air.
* James Vega from ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' gets this reputation after he intentionally crashes his shuttle into ''another'' shuttle to prevent {{spoiler|Dr. Eva from escaping with the plans for the Prothean device}}. ''Nobody'' will let him forget it. He can end up crashing ''again'' if he's the one to take over the skycar controls when Shepard {{spoiler|abandons the control panel to shoot at Kai Leng}} during {{spoiler|the Citadel coup}}—although ''that one'' is [[Drives Like Crazy|Shepard's fault]].
