* ''Film/Gremlins1984'': Billy rightfully suspects Mrs. Deagle of abusing his dog Barney by stringing the poor thing up with a bunch of Christmas lights, since she had already made threats to do even worse. However, she's not responsible, it was Stripe and the other evil Mogwai.

** A far less humorous example comes in the followup, ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. When Thor and Loki find Odin to take him home, he serenely tells them that he hears his late wife calling to him. Thor angrily tells Loki to lift his enchantment but Loki's look of concern and subtle head shake confirms he's not to blame this time. Then Odin reveals that he had already broken free from Loki's spell.
** Lampshaded when Doctor Strange starts to open a portal beneath Loki's feet and he exclaims "This isn't me".

* In ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'', when [[LethallyStupid Caboose claims that the crash that stranded them on Chorus was not his fault]], no one takes him seriously. But in this case, he really was innocent- it was ''[[EverybodyDidIt everyone else's]]'' fault. [[spoiler: And the crash was actually caused by a tractor beam. The team's antics just ripped the ship in half instead.]]

* On ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}'', Alex ''loves'' to sneak traps and pitfalls into tasks to trip up the contestants. So, during "Exit the caravan exactly 20 minutes after you entered the caravan", when Mae finds a clock on the roof that has moving gears but ''doesn't work'', she and even Greg assume Alex did it deliberately to trip up contestants [[PoisonMushroom "lucky" enough to find and use it]]. Alex points out that this time it was Mother Nature:

This trope may also occur with any character who has a recurring habit. It may or may not lead to EvilVersusEvil or EnemyMine, depending on the story. A villain might be upset that they were blamed and maybe even suffered a beatdown for something they didn't do. Or that a plan of their own got thwarted because of the false accusation that made the hero seek them out. Or that they were accused of [[EvenEvilHasStandards a crime they consider beneath themselves]] or almost denied [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou a triumph they seek for themselves]]. Any of these reasons is enough for them to be pissed at the person who ''really'' did it.

* Early on in ''VisualNovel/ShinraiBrokenBeyondDespair'', Rie Miyamoto, who hosts the Halloween party that serves as the setting of the game, triggers a power outage as part of a planned prank that does not go as planned. When the power goes out again, Rie denies responsibility for this one. Considering that she wasn't anywhere near the circuit breaker when it happened, she's right.
