* A story in ''[[Gotham Central]]'' had someone killing teenagers dressed as Robin, but despite Batman's violent interrogations, none of the usual rogues turned out to have any involvement.
* The ''[[Astro City]]'' story "Adventures In Other Worlds" plays this to eleven. When Astra Furst of the First Family goes missing, they hunt down all of their usual super-villain enemies, convinced that one of them has captured her. Each villain's latest scheme gets disrupted, even though none of them are guilty of kidnapping Astra... who, instead, has run away from home to experience elementary school (and learn how to play hopscotch).
* In an issue of the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' spin-off comic, [[The Question]] sets out to discover who was responsible for a bomb smuggled into the Watchtower. Lex Luthor is the lead suspect, but when confronted Luthor points out that if the bomb had gone off as planned, the Justice League would never have known what hit
* ''[[Batman]]'':
** In the year-long [[Story Arc]] "Hush", after having seen his [[Old Friend|old childhood friend]] "Tommy" being supposedly gunned down by the Joker, Bruce is [[Unstoppable Rage|chasing after him in a murderous rage]].

* In the fourth ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie, "On Stranger Tides", Jack Sparrow is believed to be trying to locate a ship to find the Fountain of Youth, as well as recruiting a crew. Turns out, for once, he was not the one who is actually doing it. It was Angelica, a former flame of Sparrow, who was doing it, while disguised as him.
* In ''[[Apollo 13]]'', Fred Haise has been using the cabin repress valve, which causes a sharp banging sound, to mess with the other astronauts. When the oxygen tank explodes and the entire ship starts shaking, he rushes in saying, "That's no repress valve!"

'''Unagi''': "Hm... Not bad. But that isn't my plan. I don't have a plan. I wish I had a plan!" }}
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'':
** In the episode which provides the page quote, the girls are pranked into believing the series regular villains are doing something evil and confront
** In another episode, a hit to the head makes Bubbles believe she is Mojo Jojo, stealing his clothes to match. The other girls instantly assume the latter is responsible, which leads to the priceless line:
{{quote|'''Mojo Jojo:''' "You have got to be kidding. I'm ''wet,'' I'm ''naked,'' your sister is wearing my clothes, and this is all part of some evil plot '''TO RULE THE WORLD AS A SOGGY CHIMP IN MY BIRTHDAY SUIT?!'''"}}
