(Fenris' two main complaints against mages are the risk of demon possession and the temptation to use blood magic -- neither of which apply to him. So, not a hypocrite.) |

* Andre Drazen in ''[[24]]'' tells Ira Gaines "when plan A fails, you move onto plan B. You don't do plan A recycled". What is the Drazens' plan for assassinating David Palmer later on if not "plan A recycled"?
* The Cylons in ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' have the distinction of being one of ''many'' "alien"/Robot races in Sci Fi who engage in [[Cultural Posturing]] over their [[Can't Argue with Elves|superiority to humanity]] while ''engaged in genocide''. They got called on it a few times too, with their assertions of humans deserving extinction for being flawed, sinful and evil being refuted with "you call us evil? You committed genocide on my race!" (paraphrased). To their credit, the hypocrisy of their endeavor hits them around the end of season 2, culminating in a disastrous military occupation to "make amends" over their crimes. {{spoiler|It helps to understand the situation that it was not their creators' intent to do so, but the result of a [[Psycho Prototype]] getting control of things}}. That said, in BSG [[Humans Are
** The Cylons are hypocrites in an even worse manner, actually. Cylons rebelled against man to punish them for their enslavement and the crimes committed against them. The humanoid Cylons {{spoiler|promptly ''improved'' their ability to enslave Centurions and even went so far as to ''lobotomize'' their own brethren to keep them under control}}.
* Serena on ''[[Gossip Girl]]''. Standing there saying "My entire life I've been bending over backwards to avoid hurting your feelings!" to Blair when two years before she'd slept with her boyfriend and then abandoned her without a single word for ''a year'' while Blair's parents went through a public, traumatic divorce. And before that, Serena regularly showed up at Blair's house wasted and had to be taken care of by her.

* In ''[[Mega Man Battle Network|Megaman Battle Network 4]]'', Duo seeks to destroy the earth because [[Humans Are
* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' - Saber, who is basically female Shirou with less delusions, as a heroic example. ''Archer'' is the one to call her out on her treatment of Shirou's ideal by pointing out that her wish is the same as his only 'more so.' Tohsaka also realizes she cannot really lecture Shirou anymore when she finds herself making the same kinds of choices and is unable {{spoiler|to kill Sakura, despite the cold pragmatic value that doing so would have.}}
* Francis McReary from ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'' the Deputy Police Commissioner of [[Vice City|Liberty City]], who honestly believes that his status and position automatically make him a morally just person and acquits him of any crimes that he commits. You quickly see past this facade when he orders you to gun down people by the dozens in order to hide his corruption and more importantly, when he {{spoiler|orders you to gun down his own brother to save his career}}.
