Sorry I Fell on Your Fist: Difference between revisions

** Also Ritsu Sohma. The two of them occasionally get in to apologizing contests.

* ''[[Scrapped Princess]]''... the title character does this quite often. Apologizing to her older siblings for always having to protect her, wondering if the world would be better off without her, etc. And, of course, she's never really done anything wrong - apparently, she threatens the continued existence of the world simply by ''living''. And, apparently, {{spoiler|by dying}}. Girl just can't catch a break.

* ''[[Baccano!]]!'''s Jacuzzi Splot is prone to this due to his tendency to be a [[Martyr Without a Cause]]. On the low scale, he'll [[Apologizes a Lot|apologize for pretty much anything]], up to and including being shoved. At the other side of the spectrum, he's blamed himself personally for the death of three men he encountered the day before -- not because he killed them, but because his gang took them down (against his protests) while they were trying to murder ''him''.

* Keitaro of ''[[Love Hina]]'' has been known to do this at times.

'''Crow (as Polonius)''' Oh right, it's ''my'' fault you killed me! }}

* In the first episode of the third series of ''[[Black Books]]'' Manny has fallen out with Bernard after an argument that led to his hand being shut in a sandwich toaster and as a result, Manny is now working in their competitor, Goliath Books. When things go wrong with his new job, Manny comes home crying to Bernard that "It's my fault you toasted my hand!"

* [[Desperate Housewives]]: Gabby finds evidence suggesting her soon-to-be ex husband, Carlos, could be on the verge of getting a very well-paying job. She decides she's going to woo him back so she can take him for even more money. They sleep together. He then reveals that he planted the fake evidence with the full knowledge that she'd steal it, read it, and then try to rob him blind. Outraged that she's been proven beyond all reasonable doubt to be a lying, manipulative, whorish bitch, she pushes Carlos out of the upstairs window. He survives with no damage lasting beyond the end of the episode. The closing narration ''still'' tries to suggest that [[Designated Villain|Carlos]] was in the wrong, and that he feels guilty for being so cruel to [[Designated Hero|Gabby]].

* [[Downton Abbey]]: Daisy often apologizes for Mrs. Patmore's mistakes.
