* In ''[[The Owl House]]'' Emperor Belos led Lilith to believe that if she got Eda to join the emperor's coven, that he would free Eda from her curse. Eventually Emperor Belos and Lilith capture Eda, and even then Eda continues to refuse to join the coven. Emperor Belos then tells Lilith he never intended to free Eda from the curse or let Eda join the coven and called Lilith stupid for believing him, which secured Lilith betraying him. He might have retained Lilith's loyalty if he was "Hey, I offered Eda to join the coven and, even after she was captured, continued to refuse."
* In ''[[Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths]]'' {{spoiler|Batman strands Owlman on an Earth without any life, with a bomb about to explode in front of him. He is presented with the option to abort the countdown or get out of the dimension thanks to a spare portal device, but instead says "It doesn't matter" and waits for it to blow him up. In this case it's because of his belief that an infinite number of universes make all choice meaningless, because no matter what he does, the other him will make a different choice.}}
* The [[Evil Chancellor]] Long Feng in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Had he simply directed them to the nearest general outside the city after explaining the whole "No talking about the war here" thing and sent them on their way, they would have been out of his hair right there and he'd still be [[The Man Behind the Man]]. But instead, {{spoiler|he tried to play Big Brother and threaten them about Appa, and thus made an enemy out of Aang, eventually leading to his arrest, then losing even the Dai Li to Azula in an attempt to break out and take over.}}

* Dr. Doofenschirmtz from [[Phineas and Ferb]] is one of the worst examples, as illustrated in the episode "Candace Gets Busted" where a building is blocking his view of the theater. He remarks that he could just move his chair, but decides to build a machine to zap the building out of the way.
** If the [[True Colors]] of Smile Away are a secret from parents, why would you show the victimized kids getting tortured beyond compare on a daytime TV show?
