* Parodied in a ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' sketch entitled ''[[Twelve Angry Men|Twelve Angry]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_People:Little People|Little People]]''. A [[Rogue Juror]] insists they not convict a boy of murder because one of the witnesses must have been mistaken about her testimony, since she normally wears glasses and wouldn't have them on when she woke up and allegedly saw the crime (an obvious reference to ''[[Twelve Angry Men]]''). A dog on the jury points out that there is incontrovertible DNA evidence at the scene of the crime pointing to the boy. The [[Rogue Juror]] replies by saying- "why are we listening to you? You're a *BLEEP* ing dog!"
* Done rather frustratingly in ''[[Captain Planet and The Planeteers (Animation)|Captain Planet and The Planeteers]]'' with Wheeler, who gets dismissed as an idiot [[Dumbass Has a Point|even when he has a point]]. In at least one episode the others brought him around to their way of thinking, then arbitrarily switched sides and he was considered wrong again.
** The episode "The Numbers Game" takes this to bizarre levels---at the beginning of the episode he opines that people shouldn't have children they can't afford to support, and the others call him out for being unsympathetic to poor people. Then he goes to sleep and has a dream where he and Linka are married with a whole bunch of kids, which leads to a horribly wasteful world since [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|having more than two kids is bad for the environment]], and his dream-friends chew him out ''again'' for being so irresponsible. He then wakes up and tells Linka that if they get married one day, he only wants two kids at most. The episode sets it up as if he learned a lesson... but by the show's own standards, ''he'' was right the whole time!
