'''Toph:''' I'm just saying that considering his messed up family and how he was raised, he could have turned out a lot worse.
'''Katara:''' You're right, Toph. Let's go find him and give him a medal. The "Not-As-Much-Of-A-Jerk-As-You-Could-Have-Been Award"! }}
* In ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'', after [[Anti-Villain|Lance]] saves an elderly lady (out of genuine decency) from a train wreck Wanda caused and the lady richly rewards the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood begins to do "good deeds"
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had a plot similar to that, where Homer and some of his friends become firefighters and get so many thank-you gifts that they come to expect it. They steal from [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Mr. Burns]] when he refuses to reward them, then just start robbing places as a matter of course.
** Similar to the above, Homer once saved Mr Burns' life by allowing Bart to be a donor during a blood transfusion, only to send Burns an abusive letter when the only reward the family got was a thank you note.
