Line 57:
* Played with in a ''[[3rd Rock from the Sun]]'' episode where Harry and Tommy return someone's lost wallet. When they realize that they didn't get a reward, they spend the whole episode bugging the guy and dropping obvious hints. Finally, he gives in... and they immediately tell him to [[Keep the Reward]].
* Pretty much the story of Sam's life as the title character in the show ''[[Reaper]]''.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'s'' third season episode "The Zeppo" is a classic--theclassic—the entire episode revolves around this trope with sidekick-like-character Xander being ignored by the more powerful characters as they focus on preventing an apocalypse. However, he ends up saving the day by preventing the high school (location of the Hellmouth) from being blown up. Nobody ever found out about that. It should also be noted that Buffy, Willow, and Giles were all in the high school library (the precise location of the Hellmouth) at the time.
* Lampshaded to great effect in ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. Claire Bennett, with her regenerative powers, saves a man from a burning train. However, fellow cheerleader [[Alpha Bitch|Jackie Wilcox]] claims credit for it and is treated like a town hero. Of course, this is subverted mightily in later episodes.....
* [[Father Ted]]. Ted uncovers a betting scandal revolving around the 'King of the Sheep' contest. As he walks out of the tent where the contest is being held, Dougal remarks 'One thing though, Ted. If Chris has been disqualified, does that mean we don't get the money you bet on him?'
Line 87:
** What happens at the end of the ''Zelda'' games is almost never explored in great detail, so we often don't actually ''know'' what exactly happens after the credits roll. The old ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'' [[The Legend of Zelda (manga)|manga]] actually had a [[Bittersweet Ending]] {{spoiler|where Link was made Captain of the Palace Guard for his heroics- which unfortunately meant that he was forever [[Star-Crossed Lovers|kept from Zelda (who he was in love with) because of the difference in their ranks]].}}
** At least in Twilight Princess we see Link getting recognized for his exploits. Strangers recognize him in the town market after the [[Escort Mission]], and congratulate him for his bravery. The Gorons can't stop offering to aid your quest after you complete Death Mountain. [[La Résistance]] is in awe of your courage.
** Hard to say where [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker's]] Link falls in this-- atthis—at the very least, he wound up setting the dress code for New Hyrule's knights ([[Hilarious in Hindsight]], as he was the first Link to ''[[Clothes Make the Legend|dislike the tunic]]''). The [[Implied Love Interest|Te]][[Portmanteau Couple Name|Link]] [[Shipping|shippers]] would like to believe that he went on to {{spoiler|become the first king of New Hyrule}}, though.
* In ''[[Command & Conquer|Red Alert II]]'', General Vladimir gets the vacation and hero recognition after the player (a.k.a. Comrade General) won the previous campaign.
** Fortunately, Comrade Yuri understands our pain and is determined to help us win Premier Romanov's favor.
