Line 165:
:* In Season Five's "Hammer of the Gods," The Trickster/{{spoiler|[[Archangel Gabriel|Gabriel]]}} gives one of these to {{spoiler|[[Satan|Lucifer]]}}, the season's [[Big Bad]], who refers to humans as "cockroaches" and "flawed, broken abortions." The Trickster tells {{spoiler|Lucifer}} that, although [[Humans Are Flawed]], they try to be better. {{spoiler|Then tops it off with, "And you should check out the Spearmint Rhino."}}
* Hilariously subverted in the comedy series ''[[Hyperdrive]]''. After their disastrous [[First Contact]] with the Queppu, the crew seek to avoid future problems by covertly nuking the planet behind the captain's back while he's busy giving his speech.
* Seeing how wanting to be human is a major part of the show, ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'' has a few, usually from Mitchell, who, despite living through both World Wars, and being attacked by a mob believing he's a peadophile, still has complete belief in human goodness.
* Kind of parodied in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXn1zJa0K8c this scene] from ''[[Misfits]]'', when Nathan gives a ridiculously impassioned rooftop-speech to his brainwashed friends about the glories of hedonistic youth:
{{quote|"She's got you thinking this is how you're supposed to be - ''well it's not!'' We're young! We're supposed to drink too much, we're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out! We were designed to ''party''! This is it. So a few of us - we'll overdose, or go mental - but Charles Darwin said you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, and that's what it's all about, ''breaking eggs!'' And by eggs I do mean getting twatted on a cocktail of Class A's. If you could just see yourselves! It breaks my heart - YOU'RE WEARING CARDIGANS! We had it all...we fucked up bigger and better than any generation before us! [[This Is Sparta|WE WERE SO BEAUTIFUL!"]]}}
