All fairness to Sebastian, he also made some reasonable points earlier and later in the movie. He is totally the MVP for the middle of the film.

Line 146:
* In one episode of ''[[Rick and Morty]]'', Rick clearly does ''not'' want to go to Bird-Person and Tammy's wedding, despite being close friends with the groom. (Well, as much as Rick can be friends with anyone.) Rick just doesn't like weddings, claiming they're "funerals with cake". Nonetheless, he and his family attend, and it turns out it would have been better had they stayed away, as Tammy herself (who is secretly an agent of [[The Empire| the Federation]]) is using it as a sting operation to arrest them.
* Iago is the [[Token Evil Teammate]] among the protagonists of ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', not to mention the rudest and most annoying. However, in one episode he opposed vehemently helping or trusting Caliph Kapok, simply because he was known to be a wizard. (Agrabah's experiences with wizards were unpleasant to say the least.) While such a suspicion at first seemed like [[Fantastic Racism| unfair stereotyping]], Iago had a valid point here, because Kapok was as evil as any other wizard they'd known.
* Sebastian from ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' has a few moments of this;
* What's sad about the social worker subplot in ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' is that Cobra Bubbles has a rather accurate picture of Nani's parenting skills when she's taking care of her little sister Lilo. She's barely an adult, trying to pay the bills on a menial job while having no time to grieve. He is sympathetic to the fact that both Nani and Lilo lost their parents, so he gives Nani a lot of opportunities to clean up her act after she and Lilo accidentally make a bad first impression on him. Nevertheless, Lilo's current living situation is not healthy: she's acting out after her parents' death by making voodoo dolls of her "friends" to punish them, locking herself in the house complete with nailing the front door shut, and has an obsession with placating Pudge the fish, whom she believes controls the weather. Nani also left the stove on while going to pick up Lilo, can't cook, and can barely keep up with laundry. Cobra sternly tells Nani none of this is okay; even if Lilo is obviously not being abused, this is not healthy for either her or Nani. Later, when Stitch accidentally gets Nani fired from her job, Cobra tells Nani that she needs a source of income otherwise he can take care of a child. Even Nani, when she fails to get a job and Cobra apologetically schedules a pick-up time for Lilo to go to foster care, agrees with this sentiment. She tells Lilo, while they're spending what they think is their last night as a family, that even if this separation is terrible, it may be better for her sister in the long run. Fortunately, {{spoiler|the Grand Council sponsors the family after Cobra and Lilo prove that she owns Stitch, giving them financial support and guardianship to handle "626"; Cobra accepts this compromise, merely commenting it will be hard to explain at headquarters}}. Stitch also takes over the housekeeping, proving to be a fabulous cook if that birthday cake is any indication.
* In the fourth season of the [[Netflix]] reboot of ''[[Carmen Sandiego]]'', after managing to [[Brainwash]] Carmen, the other leaders of V.I.L.E. are so pleased with how much better off they are with her on their side that they want to give her the empty seat on the council. Carmen's nasty rival Tigress objects to this, believing it is a disaster waiting to happen, but she has no say in the matter. In the [[Series Finale]], after Carmen overcomes the brainwashing and leads Acme right to V.I.L.E.'s front door, Tigress ''does'' get a chance to give them an "I told you so", but it's cold comfort seeing as she's in prison with them.
