* ''[[El Chavo Deldel Ocho]]'': Whenever Dona Florinda is sure Don Ramon hurt or tried to hurt her son, she'll certainly slap him and never allows him to explain. She's lucky he [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]].

== [[MangaAnime]] and [[AnimeManga]] ==

* ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2½]]'' pretty much lives on this trope, with Akane barging in with fist flying and Ranma ([[No Social Skills|social retard that he is]]) usually too tongue-tied to do more than stammer out a "[[I Can Explain|Let me explain]]" before [[Megaton Punch|going sub-orbital]]. Maybe one time out of ten is the incident that draws Akane's ire actually Ranma's fault. (Although, to be fair, there's much less of that in the manga)

* ''[[Guild Wars]]'' plays with this on multiple levels. The Charr in the first game are presented as an [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]] race of invading fire-worshiping hellcats who live to destroy and enslave, and like to eat their human prisoners, and that slaughtering and torturing the Charr is not at all a bad thing. Both the characters in-game and the players were lead to believe this was the truth. Cue ''[[Guild Wars 2]]'' revealing that all that was only propaganda from the human kingdoms - the Charr are far more complex, never ate people, and the invasion was their struggle to reclaim their occupied homeland.

* ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'': Daisy's berating [[Donald Duck]] for (for example) dancing with her neighbor (the neighbor literally dragged Donald into it), while he's supposed to be building a brick wall at her house.

* ''[[All Grown Up!]]!'', "Brother, Can You Spare The Time?": Dil appears on a talk show, "What's Your Tragedy?", about Tommy abandoning him upon winning an award in filmmaking, prompting booing and jeers from the audience when Tommy shows up to explain his side (basically, that it's not the case at all).

* In the Sadie Hawkins dance episode of ''[[As Told Byby Ginger]]'', Darren thinks Ginger is jealous because Courtney invited him to the dance while Ginger is going solo (Ginger's actually trying to tell him that Courtney meant to invite his older brother Will).

==== It doesn't even have to be an argument, as long one character won't stop talking long enough to hear out the truth ====

=== [[MangaAnime]] and [[AnimeManga]] ===

* Almost every arc of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' runs on this trope.

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Sousuke seems to have this going for him whenever anyone gets too direct about trying to convince him that someone has feelings for him. Many times, while they're in the process of trying to explain to him ''why'' someone is acting strange around him, he'll end up interrupting them before they get too direct, coming to his own outlandish conclusion as to the reason why. Most people just sigh and shake their head. This tends to happen the most in relation to Tessa.

* In ''[[Tsukigasa (Manga)|Tsukigasa]]'', the facts everyone knows are that Azuma cut off Kuroe's arm and Kuroe ran away and joined a band of robbers. Everyone has their own idea of what actually happened and why it happened, many of which are misinformed because they are unwilling to just put it all out in the open. Eventually all the pieces are dragged out one by one and things get resolved but it takes awhile.

=== [[Western Animation]] ===

* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', "Arnold & Lila": Lila won't stop talking long enough to allow Arnold time to say he didn't write "Arnold and Lila" on some wall. Helga had scrawled "Lila" in place of you-know-who to hide her dirty laundry... only to create this other dirty laundry.

* ''[[All Grown Up!]]!'', "It's Cupid, Stupid": Nicole won't stop being excited over Tommy long enough for Tommy to tell about Chuckie wanting to ask her out to a Valentine's dance ([[Imaginary Love Triangle]]).
