Line 149:
*** This reaction was somewhat helped by the fact that Karen Gillian (Amy's actress) was under the impression Matt Smith (the Doctor) would only give her a stage-bite for the camera. He didn't. He actually bit her.
** In "The Mind of Evil", the Doctor is saved at the last moment from being shot by Mailer, the Master's current henchman. The Doctor responds with the classic line: "Brigadier! Do you think for once you could manage to arrive *before* the nick of time?"
** In "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S3
* ''[[Misfits]]''
** Nathan complains after Super Hoodie saved him from the clutches of the Virtue Organisation, not because he didn't want to be rescued, but because he objected to being dropped unceremoniously on the floor afterwards (which ''anyone'' would be tempted to do after five seconds in Nathan's company).
Line 155:
* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' briefly mentioned that Trix (the "original" Lorelai Gilmore) was rescued from her house during a harsh winter, but rather than gratefull she was displeased that the rescueing team stained her carpet with snow.
* [[Damsel Scrappy|Kate]], pictured above, from the third season of BBC's ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' was the show's [[Designated Victim]] and [[Token Girl]]. Constantly getting captured, injured or wandering into trouble, Kate's defining attribute was her inexplicable ungratefulness whenever the outlaws ''dared'' to rescue her from torture, rape and/or death. Her attitute problem was probably the result of the writers attempting to make her a [[Plucky Girl]] that didn't ''need'' the help of any big strong men to save her, a trait that was completely undermined by the fact that she was a rather bitchy [[Faux Action Girl]] who was utterly incapable of doing it herself.
* On an early episode of ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'', a small electrical fire breaks out in the OR. Trapper John takes a basin of water and throws it on the fire, extinguishing it. When Hot Lips rightly points out that he couldn't have easily known whether there was water or sanitizing alcohol in the basin (both would have been in the OR at the same time, and the latter [[Captain Obvious|would have caused the fire to have grown exponentially]]) and was taking a serious risk by grabbing the first basin in reach, he retorts by quipping "Maybe you'd like it better with the fire?"
* Being, as she says, a good person, Emma of ''[[Once Upon a Time (TV series)|Once Upon a Time]]'' doesn't hesitate to rescue Regina's ass from a fire, even though Regina fully expected to be left behind. No sooner are they safe (and in front of the press) than does Regina start yelling at Emma for not being considerate of her hurt ankle.
