* In ''[[Kitchen Princess]]'', the director of the school Najika attends tells her to deliberately lose a competition between her and Seiya Mizuno (an up-and-coming young chef), promising to [[Saving the Orphanage|save the orphanage]] she grew up in from being torn down if she does.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'''s Battle City Finals, when {{spoiler|Odion posing as Marik}} duels Joey, he at one point is poised to win the duel, before {{spoiler|the real [[Big Bad|Marik]]}} orders him to use his (fake copy of) The Winged Dragon of Ra. {{spoiler|Odion}} reluctantly complies. This does not end well.

Line 83:
* Subverted in ''[[King of the Hill]]'', Season 12, ''Suite Smells of Excess''. Hank was told to give misleading orders to a rival football team, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, so that his football team, Texas Longhorns, would win. Hank was reluctant at first, but then went on with it when he remembered that it was to help Texas. {{spoiler|The rival football team won anyways.}}
** He also did it because his son, Bobby, started liking football and he wanted him to continue liking football. Plus, he already broke a lot of laws (buying tickets from a scalper and taking over a retired Nebraska football player's VIP suite) trying to get Bobby to like football so he had nothing to lose.
* Seen in the ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|Simpsons]]'' episode where Lisa is in a spelling bee. The organizer tells her to throw her word that could win her the bee (with the promise of a fully paid college education and a hot plate), because the governing body wants to use her [[Adorkable|adorably geeky]] rival in advertising. In a bout of defiance, she exposes the con, then proceeds to lose anyway.
