{{quote|''I am not a vindictive man, but I felt, as anybody would have felt in my place, that if fellows like young Tuppy are allowed to get away with it the whole fabric of Society and Civilization must inevitably crumble.''}}
* Since ''[[Mommie Dearest]]'' is about growing up with an abusive mother, a lot of the things that set Joan off come off this way, including the infamous wire hanger scene from the film adaptation.
* ''[[The Best Christmas Pageant Ever]]''. The Herdman siblings aren't exactly nice kids, but right off the bat, the Narrator's claim that they are "the worst children in the history of the world" seems rather unfair, seeing as the worst crime they are known to commit is shoplifting. The narrator also sees their smoking, drinking, and cussing as reasons for her label - unpleasant vices, yes, but not habits that can truly make them the worst. When you learn their past of [[Parental Abandonment]] and see how they realize the darker aspects of the Nativity story (Mary and Joseph are fugitives because a king wants her child murdered; the Wise Men bring gold and incense when anyone who truly cares would have brought food) they not only come off as sympathetic, [[Jerkass Has a Point| but much wiser than anyone else in the cast.]]

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' did the fourth kind quite a few times, satirizing the way British culture used to encourage the first kind. The page quote comes from their restaurant sketch, combining this with [[My Greatest Failure]].
* In the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode The Package, Jerry is interrogated by Newman for mail fraud... and let's just say Newman relishes in the thought of catching and fining Jerry, even if there wasn't much actual fraud going on. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|He still gets fined, though.]]

* On a couple of episodes of [[Sports Night]], Bobbi Bernstein substitutes for Casey as anchor, which Dan has a problem with, since she claims he slept with her in Spain, and then never called. He swears not only has he never slept with her, he never even knew her back then, he's never been to Spain, and he wouldn't treat a woman like that. Whoever he tells this story to has the same response; "Oh, Dan. You never called?"
** Averted when he finds out that he had been to Spain and slept with Bobbi, he was just so drunk on the trip he forgot about it. Bobbi was also going by Roberta at the time and he didn't connect Bobbi with the name.
== [[Music]] ==
* The video to John Waite's "Missing You" uses type 3 because this is about his girlfriend suddenly leaving him for no reason. At one point, he ''breaks a phone booth phone'' out of anger and heartbreak.
* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s "Don't Download This Song" mocks type 1 of the [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]] message (making it a type 4).
{{quote|''Cuz you start out stealing songs,''
''Then you're robbing liquor stores,''
''And selling crack, and running over schoolkids with your car!'' }}
** Also by "Weird Al", the narrators of "Young, Dumb and Ugly" [[Poke the Poodle|treat their ''own'' actions like this]].
{{quote|''We got a reputation round these parts,''
''We only leave a ten per cent tip -''
''Sometimes we don't return our shopping carts,''
''Stay out of our way and don't you give us no lip''
'''Cos we're young - dumb and ug-ly ...'' }}
* [[They Might Be Giants|"Why did you grow a beard?]] Why did you grow a beard? I can't leave you alone for five minutes! What the Christ! What the Devil! Why did you grow a beard?!"
* Crime Spree by MC Frontalot. Front acts like a criminal mastermind, even though his crimes are petty at best.
