Line 113:
* No matter how many times [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]] saved Sunnydale High from not just vampires, but bug people, evil robots, invisible people, fish monsters, nightmares come alive, ghosts, reanimated corpses, werewolves, and ancient evil abominations, most of the school populace treated her as a [[Cool Loser]] at best. However, this was subverted toward the end of the third season at the prom, where the entire graduating class gave their thanks to Buffy for saving them multiples times. And this was right after saving them from some hellhounds, too.
* [[Eureka]]'s Sheriff Carter has to solve dozens of life-threatening, town-threatening, and/or ''world''-threatening scenarios before people start taking him seriously.
* [[Spider-Man]]'s lack of respect even extends to the lighthearted shorts on ''[[The Electric Company]]''. On one of them, he's just trying to take the day off at the Mets game when lameass villain The Wall crashes the game and attacks a player, and ''then'' attacks the umpire who tries to kick him out. Spidey manages to intervene and web the villain, only for the same umpire to order him to leave and take the Wall with him, which Spidey meekly does. ("Lucky I didn't slap him with a $50 fine, I can be pretty stupid when I want to be!") Of course, in Spidey's defense, who ''wouldn't'' be intimidated by an angry [[Morgan Freeman]]?
