== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* This is Chiri's reaction in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei (Manga)-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'' when the rest of the class reacts to her treating "juicing her sister" as something completely natural.
 
== [[Film]] ==
* The Big Bad Wolf says this when ''[[Shrek (Animation)|Shrek]]'' finds him sleeping in his (Shrek's) bed in the first movie.
** And [[Call Back|again]] in the second movie when Prince Charming finds him in Fiona's bed.
* When [[Big Bad|Gideon]] [[Kick the Dog|kicks Ramona down a flight of stairs]] in the climax of ''[[Scott Pilgrim Versus the World]]'', Scott and Knives give him an appalled look and he responds with this. Then they beat him to a pulp.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Monstrous Regiment|Monstrous Regiment]]'', Jackrum gets defensive after laying out the bouncer in the camp [[The Oldest Profession|seamstresses']] tent.
{{quote| '''Jackrum''': What? What! He was coming in here with his club!<br />
'''Polly''': ''[knowingly]'' And why was he doing that, Sarge?<br />
Line 34:
'''[[[Beat]]], as Sinclair and Garibaldi wordlessly walk away.''' <br />
'''Ivanova''': What? Look, somebody's gotta have some damn perspective around here! Boom. Sooner or later. '''BOOM!''' }}
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': In one case, used to lampshade that [[The Fool|Xander]] was the one to know some key bit of information.
{{quote| '''Xander:''' What, I can't have information sometimes?<br />
'''Giles:''' It's just somewhat unprecedented. }}
* Norm Peterson did this at least once on ''[[Cheers (TV)|Cheers]]''.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In the ''Meet the Spy'' video for ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'', the BLU Soldier delivers one of these after shooting {{spoiler|the BLU Spy}}.
{{quote| '''Soldier:''' What? It was obvious, he's the RED Spy!}}
* ''[[Mass Effect (Franchise)|Mass Effect]]'''s Kaidan, when having his infamous [[Covert Pervert]] moment. "It does sound like something that you'd find on an extranet fetish site. ''[beat]'' ...''[[Defensive What|what]]''?"
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* Tedd of ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'' frequently finds the need to use these. [http://egscomics.com/?date=2008-04-23 Here] and [http://egscomics.com/?date=2008-04-25 here] are good examples. Catalina Bobcat gets one [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-01-07 here], oddly enough Susan seems to be a cause of these.
* Black Mage in ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' does this a lot, whenever he's caught doing something awful.
* As does Fuzzy in ''[[Sam and Fuzzy (Webcomic)|Sam and Fuzzy]]''. Probably goes with [[Sociopathic Hero]] territory.
* Belkar Bitterleaf from ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'' also does this quite a bit, especially when caught doing or saying something entirely in-character for him, like murdering an innocent gnome for his pack mule. Definitively a [[Sociopathic Hero]] trait.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In the premiere episode of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', this is Pinkie Pie's reply to the others' stares after she eats a cupcake smothered in [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce|hot sauce.]]
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'', when Phantom Limb tranquilizes Brock for insulting Dr. Girlfriend.
{{quote| "What? I'm a supervillain."}}
* ''[[Robot Chicken (Animation)|Robot Chicken]]'' lists the top ten things co-headwriter Doug Goldstein could have done with the $12,000 he blew on his timeshare. One example is putting a dollar in $12,000 g-strings. When he is seen doing just that with a male dancer, he gives a defensive what before explaining he ran out of chicks.
