Line 119:
* The [[Backstory]] to ''X-COM: UFO Defense'' has humanity repeatedly trying to contact the alien invaders and being ignored. Although the aliens weren't really bad guys at that point (there were UFO sightings, but relatively few abductions), there wasn't much of a problem other than the diplomatic equivalent of getting the cold shoulder. Then the aliens attacked a city. Let's round up a posse and kick their alien asses!
** In addition, in both ''UFO Defense'' and ''Terror from the Deep'', the aliens will try to convince territorial governments of their good intentions. If they succeed, the government ceases funding X-COM and the aliens actually don't attack them any more. If ''all'' governments sign non-aggression pacts with the aliens, then the aliens ''summarily destroy humanity''. Whoops!
** The [[Play StationPlayStation]] version had this rendered as a cutscene of two world leaders in the UN building, signing a treaty with the aliens, only for a group of aliens (led by a Sectoid with a [[Slasher Smile]] and two [[Elite Mook|Mutons]]) to come through the door and [[Boom! Headshot!|blast the head off one of them]].
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'': "Republican Space Rangers" mocks this trope to hell and back as part of the [[Anvilicious]] satire.
* The trope title is a criminal offence in ''[[Startopia]]'', which will occasionally show up on criminal peeps that enter your station.
