* Dr. Quinn of ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' tries in vain to avoid this, but especially as the series went on, would eventually succumb.
* Rebecca Cunningham of ''[[Tale Spin]]'', though somewhat [[Women Are Wiser]] and more educated than Baloo, shared his ego and stubbornness as well as lacking the latter's streetwise aspects and thus fell into this trope a frequent amount of times. Sometimes even he could be surprised how [[Cloudcuckoolander|out of her mind]] Rebecca acted at times.

** "The Teachings of Don Jake", the family goes on a camping trip to help Jake with his stressed induced health problems. In the beginning, Daria tells Quinn to get the camera. Daria cracks a joke about the congress asking Jake for 250 billion a year for the military, causing a blood vessel in Jake's eye to burst. At the end of the episode, {{spoiler|Jake's blood vessel in his eye bursts again upon seeing the bill for their rescue after eating wild berries.

* Twilight Sparkle from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' likes to regard herself as the [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Mare]]: her first impression of the citizens of Ponyville is "All the ponies in this town are ''crazy!''" However, Twilight frequently displays lapses in
** In "The Ticket Master", Spike calls the Gala "girly frou-frou nonsense," but once everyone is out of sight, is upset at being the only one without a ticket. Celestia sends down one for him, and he immediately [[Squee]]s, only to be caught by Applejack.

* Heloise on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' regularly rolls her eyes at the antics Jimmy and Beezy cause, and their insane childish activities. However, she has fallen victim to [[Kids Prefer Boxes]] and is shown to be extremely susceptible to a [[Cuteness Proximity]].
* Benson from ''[[Regular Show]]''. One word: {{spoiler|OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!}}
* Elise in ''[[Dan Vs.]]'' tries to avoid getting caught up in Dan's vengeance, and early on tried to keep Chris from getting dragged into it too. Then again, ''in the very first episode'', she shares Dan's hatred of New Mexico (her grudge has lasted ''since childhood'') and takes her revenge even further {{spoiler|he "settles" for ruining the annual hot air balloon event, she hijacks an alien warship, slaughters road-runners, and ''blows up cities''}}. In "Dan Vs. George Washington", she
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' has at least three of those moments:
** The Furious Five should be trained to not be envious - whoever gets chosen as the Dragon Warrior. They obviously are when Po is chosen.
** Master Shifu says that the scroll is for the Dragon Warrior only and that he (Shifu) should not read it - but curiosity gets the best of him when Po says that the dragon scroll is {{spoiler|blank}}.
** Master Oogway is so calm and relaxed and zen that there
* From ''[[The Legend of Korra]],'' Tenzin ''tries'' to be the stoic Airbending master that he really is. The problem is that the universe simply will ''not'' let him stay stoic for long. Whether it's Korra using his mother against him in an argument, or his youngest (baby) son using a potted plant as a restroom, the stoicism is never around for long.
** And let's not forget [[Crowning Moment of Funny|him enjoying watching Korra use basics of airbending in a pro-bending match despite earlier hating the sport and calling it corruption of bending as an art.]]
