Line 35:
* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' has fun with it, and gave the trope its original name "Turning The Other Cheek": Buttercup tells Bubbles that they shouldn't be "turning the other cheek" on an offer from a league of superheroes, and that offer has a twist: They're not asking the PPG to join (as the PPG has been trying to do, and were rejected simply for being girls) as Bubbles expected (and she was planning on rejecting the offer of course), ''they're'' asking to join the PPG.
** Also done in the episode with the flying squirrel: Blossom and Buttercup are initially pleased that Bubbles has talked the squirrel into rejoining, but are then flabbergasted to hear that Bubbles is willing to let the squirrel stay in the forest.
* ''[[The Buzz on Maggie]]'', with Rayna and Maggie. [https://web.archive.org/web/20090328161758/http://psc.disney.go.com/disneychannel/buzzonmaggie/characters/index.html Click on Rayna at this page to see her make her offer], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20071010110616/http://psc.disney.go.com/disneychannel/buzzonmaggie/videos/video3/index.html see her un-offer it in this video]. Ouch!
* ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'', "Love Struck!" features a romantic variant on it. Timmy has been pining for Trixie Tang for the longest time (since season 1's "A Wish Too Far!"). At the end of this story, Tang asks Timmy to be his Valentine, which is what he's always wanted. It looks as if Timmy will accept, but then he suddenly sees Tootie (who he learned earlier in the episode is who he's supposed to be with) crying over a photo of himself on a bench. He says he knows he'll be kicking himself for this, but he actually rejects Tang's offer and asks Tootie instead.
* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Flanders sells his possessions when he needs money in ''When Flanders Failed''. Homer wants to buy Ned's new grill cheap; Ned is reluctant but eventually agrees. At this point, Homer says he will only pay that price now if Ned throws in several other items.
