Line 5:
A character is lecturing another character (usually a minor character or guest star) then somehow, either by someone else telling them the truth afterwards or the one they are lecturing breaking down and sobbing out the truth the character realizes that they have been a complete [[Jerkass]].
Can also be when a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] goes too far.
Line 19:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Naruto]]'' When Kakashi has Sasuke tied to a tree pre-time skip and is talking about bonds, Sasuke says something along the lines of "How would you feel", then Kakashi says all his loved ones are already dead. Admittedly Sasuke's ''[[Took a Level in Jerkass|later character]]'' outshines this little moment, still was a accidental Jerkass moment.
* ''[[School Days]]'': Say what you will about Matoko Ito, but he gets hit with his twice in the anime. {{spoiler|Though the second time it happens, he gets hit with a knife in the gut before he can actually make amends.}}
Line 39:
== Literature ==
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' There are MANY in Harry Potter.
** Probably was when Ron was craning his neck to get a look at the Longbottom's beds, then he is told of the Longbottom's ''[[Fate Worse Than Death|Conditon.]]''
** When Hermione is ''[[Soapbox Sadie|lecturing Harry again]]'' about his connection to Voldemort and makes the mistake of saying he likes it. Harry's [[Death Glare]] pretty much shuts her up and has her bending over backwards apologizing.
** The {{spoiler|Magical Maintenance man the trio forced to leave was there to be with his wife when she had to go up against Umbridge and the [[Fantastic Racism|Anti-Muggle trial]],}} cue Jerkass Realization.
** Slughorn is pretty much a vest wearing walking example of this trope.
*** Though his most egregious is most likely the off the cuff way he talks about {{spoiler|Sirius's}} death to Harry when they first met. Though oddly subverted as he never really realized he was being a Jerkass.
** When Hermione criticizes The Quibbler in front of Luna in very Jerkass way, then finds out Luna's the daughter of the Quibbler's Editor, though seeing as how the girl had been reading it when Hermione walked in, it was rather rude regardless.
Line 55:
* ''[[Scrubs]]'' Quite a fan of these moments as well.
** {{spoiler|After JD's father passes away}}, JD gets mad at Cox, Cox narrowly averts this trope by getting mad at JD but immediately feeling like a Jerkass, {{spoiler|as he knows JD's father has died}}. Then Ted joins in the taunting of JD, Ted asks why are they clapping and Dr Cox says, " {{spoiler|His dad died}}, dammit...." Ted then immediately stops clapping. Ted, You're a Jerkass.
** Also is Season 8 when Elliot is shown how depressed Keith is over her treatment of him.
** A rather odd one in where JD has just revealed to the entire waiting room that he received a DUI last night. Cue flashback to a few minutes ago with [[Sassy Black Woman|Nurse Roberts]] saying that a girl involved in an drunk driving accident had made it, but her mother had died.
** Dr. Cox is really annoyed by a quite frankly VERY annoying paramedic, even the audience hates her at this point, then he finally and gloriously goes off on her, telling her to go home to her son that she doesn't shut up about. Then another paramedic give Cox a baseball card from the Ambulance they had just left. Cox then remembers that she said it was her son's favorite card and he never went anywhere without it, also how he'll always be the age his is in her picture to her. If you haven't guessed it yet {{spoiler|Her son was killed after being hit by a car}}, damn...
* ''[[NCIS]]'' When Mcgee's sister is a suspect, Gibbs asks her if she was planning on being a writer like her brother. She says "I plan on being a [[Sarcasm Mode|writer]]". Really, your brother just [[Big Brother Instinct|resigned]] for you cause they wanted to lecture him for protecting you! Yeah, a true You're a Jerk.
Line 83:
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Futurama]]'': When Fry is sent to the future and can't go on his date with Leela, for years she thinks he stood her up. Then she gets the Video Card that fell out of the time machine, many years later. She then realizes she has been mad at him her entire life and it wasn't his fault.
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' In the April Fools Day episode, Spongebob keeps pulling silly and (to Squidward) annoying pranks on everyonem (such as not putting ice in a customer's drink, which Spongebob thinks is hilarious), Squidward then sets up a elaborate, physically painful and rather cruel prank on Spongebob that causes the latter to leave the Krusty Krab in tears, After all the customers leave, Squidward looks around and seems the damage his "harmless" prank did to the Krusty Krab and realizes he went to far.
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'', "Stimpy's Fan Club": Ren becomes jealous of Stimpy getting all the fan mail, so when he finally gets one, he reads it to Stimpy to rub it in his face (even literally rubbing the letter in his face), all the while adding comments on how Stimpy is finished and how he is now the most loved. Then he gets to the end and realizes the letter is from Stimpy himself. Ren, you're a jerkass... and to drive the point home, he briefly turns into a person's ass.
