Line 19:
* Uryu Ishida and Ichigo Kurosaki from ''[[Bleach]]'' tend to have this kind of interaction often, though they even more frequently hang lampshades on each other's [[Ungrateful Bastard]] moments.
* In ''[[AKB49: Ren'ai Kinshi Jourei|AKB 49 Renai Kinshi Jourei]]'', Okabe, who was initially introduced as a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] trying to sabotage the protagonist Minoru, thanked Minoru grudgingly after he saved her from humiliating herself publicly in one occasion.
* In the 2017 ''[[Little Witch Academia (2017 series)|Little Witch Academia]]'', the [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] Diana Cavendish gives one of those to [[The Hero]] Atsuko "Akko" Kagari for helping her with family matters. When Akko asks Diana to repeat the thank you, Diana refuses. {{quote|'''Diana''': Akko.
'''Akko''': What?
'''Diana''': I just remembered that there was something important that I needed to tell you
'''Akko''': Huh, what is it? I didn't do something wrong again, did I?
'''Diana''': I appreciate everything you've done for me.
'''Akko''': You ''what''!?
'''Akko''': Say it again, come on Diana!
'''Diana''': Don't push it.
'''Akko''': I couldn't hear it with all the wind. One more time!
'''Diana''': No.
'''Akko''': Please, for me.
'''Diana''': Absolutely not.
'''Akko''': You don't have to be embarrassed.

* In the ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' episode "Bread and Circuses" Bones gives Spock a
{{quote|'''McCoy''': Spock, er, I know we've, er, had our disagreements. Er, maybe they're jokes, I don't know. As Jim says, we're not often sure ourselves sometimes. But, er... what I'm trying to say is...
'''Spock''': Doctor, I am seeking a means of escape. Will you please be brief?
Line 43 ⟶ 57:
* There's another one in "Let This Be Your Last Battlefield." One of the aliens of the week is set up as someone who's hotheaded and difficult but ultimately at least somewhat sympathetic. Viewers get a hint of that second half coming when in his first exchange with Kirk and [[McCoy]], after reacting very angrily to their (perfectly accurate) accusation that he had stolen a Federation ship, the alien visibly pulled himself together enough to thank them quite sincerely for rescuing him.
* In ''[[Friends]]'', the episode after Ross and Rachel break up ([[Will They or Won't They?|that is, the first time they broke up]]), Ross helps the others out after they get stuck on the road with no gas, and gets a rather reluctant 'thank you' from Rachel before they go.
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]] to Spike at the end of "Intervention". She's understandably [[
{{quote|"That ... thing, it ... it wasn't even real. What you did, for me, and Dawn ... that was real. I won't forget it."}}
* This happens in ''[[Misfits]]'' when Nathan gets [[Embarrassing Rescue|rescued from a totally ridiculous situation]] by Kelly. He doesn't actually utter the words "thank you", but he mumbles and gestures awkwardly until Kelly asks if he's trying to thank her, and he admits: "I guess I am". Cue awkward silence rife with [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|UST]].
* A subversion occurs ''[[That '70s Show]]'' when Red "thanks" his son Eric for staying at home to help support the family instead of going to college after Red had a heart attack and couldn't work for a while. He expresses it by ordering Eric to go out and mow the lawn, awkwardly adding that the "lawn...thanks you for staying home." Red legitimately appreciates Eric's helping to pay the bills, but he's just extremely uncomfortable expressing his emotions except for when he's angry.

** Don't forget Auron. Sora even asks him to be grateful, to which he answers [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"thanks for meddling"]].
* ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'': You can get Bastila to apologize for her earlier rudeness, but according to the text it sounds like 'pulling teeth'.
