* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' begins this way. Tenchi has repeatedly been warned by his grandfather that he must never, ever, under any circumstances enter the cave behind their ancestral shrine where a demon was supposedly imprisoned. Go on, guess how the first episode opened... Of course, it's later revealed that this was a case of his grandfather being a [[Genre Savvy]] [[Trickster Mentor]], since he knew full well what Tenchi would do and what the likely result would be.
** He pretty openly goads Tenchi tointo opening the shrine, as he tells herhim that he can have the key [[When You Snatch the Pebble|as soon as he's able to take it from him through combat or trickery]], and eventually Tenchi succeeds.
* "[[Utawarerumono|Eruruw]] is not in that direction. You can't go there." *points straight across a field filled with manure* This is why Aruruw is awesome. (She really isn't in that direction, of course, but the guy asking just called her uncute and is rather [[Jerkass|rude]])
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', Rock Lee decides he's successfully used reverse psychology... on the screen assigning matchups for the preliminary fights for the chunin exams.
