* In ''[[Saiyuki]]'''s "Kami-sama" arc, Sanzo attempts to break a barrier that he thought was created by will power by shooting at it, on the "rationale" that the bullets are infused with ''his'' will power, and thus the two will cancel out...yeah, no. Instead, the bullets ricochet back and everyone dives for cover, with Hakkai yelling, "What are you DOING, Sanzo??"
* These exact words are used in ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' when the Tendos, particularly [[Beware the Nice Ones|Kasumi]], [[What the Hell, Hero?|call Genma out]] for taking his son to the cursed training ground of Jusenkyo. To the annoyance of some readers, though, this is only in the very first chapter of the manga, and nobody so much as raises an eyebrow when Genma later reveals he taught Ranma the [[Harmful to Minors|Nekoken]] because he was too lazy to read the next page, [[Now You Tell Me|which warned]] that the technique [[Sanity Has Advantages|invariably drove trainees insane]] and was [[Useless Useful Spell|too stupid to use, anyway]]. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Although]], it's entirely possible that people stopped asking this of him because they realized [[What an Idiot!|it just wouldn't do any damned good.]]
* Yuna Roma Seiran gets this from the ORB military officers in ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', for hiding war criminal Lord Djibril in ORB and denying it, then acting all surprised when ZAFT sees through his obvious lies and invades in full force. Apparently, he thought that since ORB had successfully hidden [[Cool Ship|the Archangel]] from them two years ago, but not even in anime do politics bend to the [[Rule of Cool]]...
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'', Kaname tends to yell this whenever Sousuke does something insane. More often than not, he proceeds to explain the ridiculously complicated terrorist plot that he foiled to justify his actions. Sometimes the plot is even real.
