Line 11:
Contrast [[Ungrateful Bastard]].

Line 42:
'''Spock''': Oh yes, you humans have that emotional need to express gratitude. "You're welcome", I believe is the correct response. }}
* 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 [[Mc Coy]], 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 [[Squick|squicked]] out by his possession of a sex doll in her likeness, but after tromping all over his attempt to justify it, she follows up with:
{{quote| "That ... thing, it ... it wasn't even real. What you did, for me, and Dawn ... that was real. I won't forget it."}}
Line 67:
* Strangely enough, an ''inversion'' shows up in ''[[Mega Man X]]: [[Video Game Remake|Maverick Hunter X]]''. After the intro stage where Zero saves X, Zero starts to walk away, but X stops him to say thanks. Zero ''ignores him'', apparently uncomfortable with the implication, and literally jets off. Jerk much?
** Not really. In the conversation preceding the above, it's implied that Zero is more frustrated at X's [[Wide Eyed Idealism]] screwing things up than he is at Vile going Maverick.
* ''[[Tales of Hearts (Video Game)|Tales of Hearts]]''. Hisui's been at odds with Shing the entire game, owing to a solid string of misunderstandings involving Shing and his sister Kohak. When Shing pulls a dangerous [[Big Damn Heroes]] and saves Kohak atop a rumbling mountain, Hisui berates him, but [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious|calls him "Shing you idiot!" in the process]]. When Shing points this out, Hisui cracks: "S-so what about it? ..but I guess it's true that you did save Kohak. I'll say it once: Tha, thanks."
* Seifer does this in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'' when he gives his trophy to Sora after the latter saved his life. He follows it up by saying he'll win it back.
** Don't forget Auron. Sora even asks him to be grateful, to which he answers [[Crowning Moment of Funny|"thanks for meddling"]].
