In any Cop Show where the protagonist is a Cowboy Cop especially prone to causing mayhem in the process of catching the bad guys, episodes will often end with their boss dragging them into their office. Da Chief will then proceed to go down the Long List of regulations the Cowboy Cop has bent or broken, capping the list with the one heroic thing they did that will make the boss give them a begrudging congratulations instead of the axe. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Example: "You threatened civilians, wrecked three squad cars, started a public disturbance in a night club, blackmailed a librarian, threw the head of the city council into the lake, destroyed the Hope Diamond, dropped the destroyed diamond shards into a nearby volcano after tripping on your flip-flops' shoelaces, destroyed my yacht's propellors, hit me in the eye with a champagne cork, left a virus on the mint's computer in an attempt to increase speed, unleashed all the inmates from the asylum, set three buildings on fire, knocked four down, locked the mayor in his own building... and saved the President's daughter from terrorists." To President: "Remind me why that last one gets him off the hook?"note To which any President worth his salt would reply, "Because I get to tell your bosses whether you keep your job." Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A common way of subverting What the Hell, Hero?. Having your Hero Insurance up to date helps; alternately the act of heroism is great enough to make up for the collateral damage. If the Lifesaving was impressive enough, you may even score a Promotion, Not Punishment. Compare I Have Just One Thing to Say, Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking, Arson, Murder, and Admiration, Bait-and-Switch Comment, Dramatic Pause, Chew-Out Fake-Out, and possibly Refuge in Audacity. Subtrope of Saved by the Awesome. See also The Extremist Was Right. |

The girls of the bastion in Sound of the Sky violate quite a few military laws in the last few episodes. Harbouring an enemy soldier without informing their superiors, disobeying direct orders, lying to a superior officer, assaulting a superior officer, tying up said superior officer in their illegal distillery, going AWOL and attacking friendly units (although in fairness, they were attacked first). All in all, it's a good thing they're friends with Rio, who is princess of Helvetia and third wife to the Roman Emperor by that point. | |

The trope appears rank-and-file in Kingdom Hearts II. Most of the quote from Mulan remains intact, although Sora interrupts before he can get to the part about the palace with "We get the picture." Incidentally, the palace isn't even damaged in this game, due to Shan-Yu getting his ass kicked first. | |

This is practically the whole reason for Cuddy's existence in House. Except she's less threatening and more yappy, like a small dog. However, she is a well-developed character in her own right, even if House goes behind her back and rarely takes her seriously. House always manages to avoid getting fired when he does crazy, irresponsible stuff to patients. He cures 90% of his patients so he gets away with it with nothing more than this trope. It's actually revealed at one point that the hospital basically has a "House is getting sued for doing insane crap again" fund. The revelation of the fund is this trope in a nutshell. |

Happens frequently in Psych, though it's more about him solving murders that the police either wouldn't have been able to solve or would taken a longer to do it. Unfortunately, as of the season 7 finale, the constant use of this has caught up to the department and the chief herself is forced to take a suspension to cover for her two top detectives and the Psych guys. |

In Honor Harrington, a subplot involves an enlisted man drawing the unfortunate attention of a sadistic bully, then taking martial arts to make sure that if there's another confrontation, he at least gets out alive. Then the bully nearly kills a friend by sabotaging their equipment, so he finds the bully and suckers them into a fight, winning easily and causing no small amount of damage. He goes in front of the captain, expecting to be kicked out of the service at best, gets the dressing down... and is docked some pay. In "Let's Go to Prague", a short story set in the universe, two Manticoran Marines on a lark decide to take leave on an enemy planet, accidentally get involved with an intelligence operation, and screw up the carefully laid plans of the officer in charge, brazen and bull their way through to save the day, and not only get forgiven, one of them gets the girl (namely the intel officer). Then they get home and discover that Honor has negated their intel gold mine by turning out to be not dead and breaking out of prison with 800,000 other people, so no one cares. In Storm from the Shadows, Admiral Khumalo meets with Captain Terekhov to discuss Terekhov's actions in the climax of the previous book. He gives his own Accentuating the Negative summary of said actions, which included stealing a freighter, commandeering half of Khumalo's forces, launching a preemptive strike against a star nation that was not only a) officially at peace with the Star Kingdom of Manticore but b) a client state of the Solarian League, and ensuring that Khumalo had no way to countermand Terekhov's orders. The last of which was so Terekhov could be disavowed. Terekhov is pretty much certain that his career is over, only for Khumalo to endorse both his actions and the reasons for doing so. |

Played with in The Inheritance Cycle. Roran disobeys his commanding officer and stages a mutiny, and while it does work, and likely saves hundreds of lives from both the Empire and the Varden, Nasuada orders him whipped to make sure that no one with less tactical knowledge and luck gets a similar idea. What Roran does earn from his lifesaving – and the fact that he's Eragon's brother – is getting to be whipped rather than publicly executed or exiled, and then finally a promotion to Captain, where there's no one left for him to disobey but Nasuada herself (who has no qualms about punishing him for that regardless of what happens). | |

The backstory for two of the characters in The Tar-Aiym Krang was that they faked a malfunction aboard their ship in order to attack AAnn forces which were about to invade and enslave/depopulate a world the Commonwealth wasn't officially bound to protect. At their court martial: Ensigns Bran Tse-Mallory and Truzenzuzex were ordered stripped of all rank and dismissed from the service. As a preliminary, however, they were to be awarded the Church Order of Merit, one star cluster. This was done. Unofficially, each was also presented with a scroll on which those citizens of the colony planet known as Goodhunting had inscribed their names and thanks... all two hundred and ninety-five thousand of them. |

A surprisingly straight example in Airplane!, where Rex Kramer tells Ted after he saves the plane that "that was probably the worst landing in the history of this airport. But some of us, particularly me, would like to buy you a drink." Like most non-joke lines in Airplane!, it was taken directly from its predecessor, the uncomedic disaster movie Zero Hour. | |

RWBY: Professor Goodwitch scolds Ruby for fighting so recklessly and endangering lives in the process, culminating in her saying Ruby should be sent home with a pat on the back... she then averts the trope by returning to her focus on punishment and concluding that Ruby should also be sent home with a slap on the wrist, emphasising her statement by whipping the table near Ruby's hand. | |

Harry Potter At the end of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry and Ron get this speech from Dumbledore. At first, it seems that they might actually get expelled, but they get bonus house points for Gryffindor instead, and they win the House Cup. The original book simply has Dumbledore admit, after reminding them of the consequences of their actions under normal circumstances, that sometimes even he makes promises on which he can't follow through (or, as he put it, "the best of us must sometimes eat our words"). The film adaptation has a similar exchange which more closely follows the spirit of this trope: Harry goes through this all the time; when the adults and faculty of the school refuse to listen to him, he invariably winds up needing to save the day himself, often breaking a ton of rules in the process. He might get punished along the way, but never suffers at the end of the book. The earliest example is probably when he, Ron, and Hermione defeated a giant Troll loose in the school halfway through Book 1. As Harry stopped listening to the teachers so much in the later books (and the teachers likewise realized it's a good idea to pay attention when Harry says someone wants him dead), the series started to move away from this. Pretty heavily lampshaded, too, especially by Snape. Verges on Jerkass Has a Point. |

In the The Dresden Files, one of his enemies took up dark magic — the corrupting, addictive force that fuels most illegal magic — to save lives. She wants to destroy death, so while she's assisting a massive necromancy ritual that will kill many people, she also saves random civilians from dying. Harry tries to convert her back to the light side and gives this trope as part of his pitch. | |

Tower of God: At the end of the Untrustworthy Room arc, Augusgus chews Mule Love out for acting independently to get revenge, conducting an unauthorized test and thus indirectly causing a Regular's death. Furthermore, he criticizes him for not being even able to kill another Regular (as a Ranker, Love should outclass any Regular) and giving him great publicity that way. But he still can see the right side of the matter and is glad that first of all, the Regular in question didn't die and even got the team mates he needed through that test. If this sounds a little wonky, that's justified: Augusgus is actually a sleeper agent for the same criminal organization that employed the Regular and killed Mule's parents, and Mule's independent action contributed greatly to their plans. | |

In Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, Watch Commander Sam Vimes gets this from Lord Vetinari at the end of Feet of Clay. note Had they been anyone other than themselves, it might have helped his case that the people he threatened or assaulted were involved in an assassination attempt against Vetinari. However, Vetinari was fully aware of the attempt, was never in any real danger, and seems to have gone along with things with the explicit intention of providing Vimes an excuse to be Vimes at people Vetinari believed could use a good Vimesing. Inverted in Monstrous Regiment; in spite of all the things they've personally done to end the war with a reasonably victory-flavored outcome for Borogravia, the country's political leaders are a hair's breadth away from giving the protagonists what amounts to a consolation prize and quietly forgetting anything of the sort happened, just because said protagonists are women (in a country where Straw Misogyny is part of the religious doctrine). It takes the intervention of Sergeant Jackrum, who is well-known, well-respected, and above all knows things about half the ruling council that would get them hanged (namely, they're women too), to turn this around. |

Pretty much the modus operandi of The Powerpuff Girls. Collateral damage is usually expected when they battle aliens or criminals, but the people of Townsville seem to be good with it. Subverted however, when the girls temporarily move to Citiesville and get chewed out by the mayor for causing over 3 million dollars in property damage by blowing up a bridge to stop a couple of criminals who stole $400. | |

Done at the end of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Kirk and the crew have their Long List of offences read out, then thanks to 'extenuating circumstances' (like Saving the World) they are all dropped except one, which only applied to Kirk. For that one, they demote him from Desk Jockey Admiral to The Captain — or, in other words, quite deliberately tossed him in the Briar Patch. | |

The ending of Fallout: New Vegas can do this depending on the player's actions, juxtaposing the number of people helped versus the number of people ended by The Courier. This can end up Crossing the Line Twice when a homicidal Courier may leave a carpet of bodies (or body parts) behind them as they murder their way through almost every group they meet, but nonetheless ends up, say, saving Hoover Dam in the end and being rewarded with a medal. | |

While the scene itself doesn't often come up, the nature of the beast informs the plots and resolutions of several Vorkosigan Saga novels: The Warrior's Apprentice: Miles commits fraud by misrepresenting land he mortgages, bends or breaks Betan law a couple other times and leans on his family name to protect him, smuggles and fights and deceives his way into command of a mercenary outfit, and ends up on trial for treason because he raised a private army. But he gives up that army to the Emperor as a deniable intelligence asset for Barrayar and comes out smelling like roses. The Vor Game: Miles repeatedly disobeys orders, sometimes in situations warranted (criminal orders by an abusive commander) and other times less so (perfectly legal orders, but which Miles feels are wrong for the situation), and generally deceives and cheats all around, leading up to saving the young Emperor, who briefly ran away from his responsibilities in a fit of depression, and narrowly averting a war among the powers of the Hegen Hub of which Cetaganda was ready to take advantage. Memory: Miles averts his trend of pulling these off terribly at the start of the book when he has a seizure mid-mission and accidentally fires off his plasma arc, slicing off the legs of the man he and the Dendarii were sent to rescue — seizures which Miles had known about but covered up rather than admit to, and lied about in his report. Simon sums up Miles's whole career in ImpSec in a painful inversion where Miles did everything unconventionally but right for so long and then this last act all but invalidates everything else. Captain Vorpatril's Alliance: Late in the book, Ivan gets involved in a scheme by his new wife's family, to plunder a cache of Occupation-era riches and artifacts in a sealed bunker hidden under ImpSec Headquarters. Excavation destabilizes the ground under Headquarters, and when the tunnels are flooded, the whole of Headquarters visibly sinks into the ground. Ivan's involvement should have probably gotten him court-martialed for keeping things secret, but at the same time, if he wasn't involved, then the bunker may well not have been recovered so that Barrayar got control of everything inside instead of Ivan's Jacksonian in-laws. For his sins, Ivan is assigned off-world, which he turns into a years-long tropical honeymoon with his wife, Tej. |

Escape Velocity Override has Admiral McPherson do something like this in one of the UE missions — he angrily berates you for following on a rash, unsanctioned mission risking the untested needle-type missile jammer and says if you were one of his officers he'd have to have you court-martialed... and then he gladly notes that you aren't one of his officers and therefore not subject to the chain of command, so he can instead praise you for the success of the mission and proclaim the test of the needle jammer an obvious success (it's implied the actual UE officers who decided on the mission will be facing problems, though). | |

In The Sage's Disciple, this could be considered Team Caster's MO. They have either assisted with or directly committed two cases of arson, one case of manslaughter, two cases of breaking and entering, four cases of kidnapping, one case of extortion, and more cases of theft than one can count. However, along their "crime spree", they succeeded in rescuing Sakura and preventing Shinji from being manipulated by his grandfather, and coercing Kariya to work with them. Because of this, the death toll is significantly reduced from canon, the manslaughter victim being Ryuunosuke Uryuu and the only other death being Kiritsugu Emiya, which was definitely a case of self-defense. While Crow did signficantly rough up Kayneth, both he and Sola-Ui are ultimately able to leave Fuyuki alive. | |

In one of the books in the X-Wing Series, Aaron Allson's Wraith Squadron, a couple of the pilots get one of these after pulling off a brilliantly executed plan, drawing off a Star Destroyer with just two X-Wings and two A-Wings, saving an entire evacuation convoy, including one last transport that had trouble getting off the ground. But they went against procedure by broadcasting unencrypted towards the enemy they'd fooled, taunting him. Wedge says that they should split the difference and hammer a medal into each of their skulls. | |

Beregond from the Lord of the Rings books. During the siege of Minas Tirith, he deserted his post and killed the porter with the keys to the Silent Street, as well as two members of the Guard. However, he only did this to protect Faramir from a premature funeral pyre, and only slew the others because they would not listen to him and attempted to kill him first. After the crowning of King Elessar, Beregond is brought before the new King. King Elessar spares him from execution because of the circumstances, but discharges Beregond from the Guard and orders him out of Minas Tirith... so that he may be reassigned to Faramir's newly-formed personal Guard in Ithilien as its captain. | |

Several episodes in various incarnations of Star Trek. Typically, the Captain will give their subordinate a full dressing down, dismiss them... then stop them at the door and remark, "Nice job out there." A notable subversion occurred in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, where Lieutenant Tom Paris acted against the captain's wishes in order to do the Right Thing... and got chewed up and demoted to Ensign for his troubles. This stuck for several episodes, and was worth a small ceremony when he was reinstated. Played straight and mostly for laughs in the Voyager episode "Survival Instinct". Janeway dresses down Paris and Kim for getting involved in a brawl that appears to have been a game that got out of control and confines them to quarters. As they're on the way out: TNG's Worf vs. a gamey old man who orders the away team to — essentially — git off his lawn. Go on, git. ("The Survivors") Also notable is Data during the Klingon civil war, who, while given temporary command of a starship, disobeys orders and exposes the Romulans as they cross the border. Data himself, being completely logical, states to Picard that ends do not justify the means and expects to be reprimanded. Picard is the one who claims that Data did the right thing. |

Death in Paradise: In "A Murder in Portrait", Ruby stops a fleeing suspect by dumping a trailer load of coconuts on hill, causing the suspect to swerve his scooter and crash. It is later revealed that coconuts continued down the hill and crashed through a wedding, resulting in an extremely irate bride. Ruby is called on the carpet by the Commissioner, who is also her uncle. He starts off by by telling her that what she did was reckless, but then goes on to say that a good police officer needs to be able to think on their feet, and that her actions resulted in the capture of the suspect, and that lead to the evidence which ultimately cracked the case, so as far as he is concerned, she did the right thing. | |

In one episode of M*A*S*H, after becoming incredibly frustrated with some new regulations, Hawkeye drives to Seoul and manages to bluff his way into the meeting room where negotiations with North Korea are being held, and give the ambassadors a pep talk. Later, a messenger from the general who was at the meeting shows up at the 4077th to deliver a message: If the general ever saw him again, he'd have him arrested and court martialed. However, the messenger adds that the general also wished he was a "crazy surgeon who had the guts" to do something like that. | |

My Hero Academia: While interning with established superheroes, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida are separated from their trainers and manage to incapacitate Hero Killer Stain. While they recover, the chief of police visits them in the hospital and tells them that, since they are not yet licensed superheroes, their use of force was illegal. He then adds that their actions were unquestionably heroic, and since there were few witnesses, they'd be let off with a warning if they stick to the cover story that professional hero Endeavor took down Stain. | |

At the end of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry and Ron get this speech from Dumbledore. At first, it seems that they might actually get expelled, but they get bonus house points for Gryffindor instead, and they win the House Cup. The original book simply has Dumbledore admit, after reminding them of the consequences of their actions under normal circumstances, that sometimes even he makes promises on which he can't follow through (or, as he put it, "the best of us must sometimes eat our words"). The film adaptation has a similar exchange which more closely follows the spirit of this trope: | |

Top Gun does this in reverse. The CO starts out with a quiet "Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing.", letting him know that he acknowledges that Maverick likely saved Cougar's life. He then proceeds to unload on Maverick and Goose for almost destroying their extremely-low-on-fuel aircraft and not following orders. | |

Laharl gives one of these to Etna in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness after she uses him as bait in a plan to one-up her blackmailer, nearly getting him killed in the process. Laharl's justification is not that she performed a heroic deed, but rather for pulling it all off with style. Her diary entry states she was expecting to be killed for betraying him, but she's glad he had the maturity to understand the situation and did what the king would have done. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Davos was a lifelong smuggler who smuggled vital supplies into Storm's End during a seige. He's now Sir Davos Seaworth, and one of Stannis Baratheon's most trusted advisors. Somewhat subverted in that he was punished for his life of crime at the same time, by having one joint of each finger on his left hand removed. But that seems relatively lenient by the standards of Westeros, and it certainly doesn't seem to bother Davos. He'll argue with anyone who suggests it's unfair. | |

In book five of the H.I.V.E. Series, Shelby is nearly expelled for helping Wing escape the HIVE. However, she is let off the hook for helping revive HIVEmind. And because she's one of the main characters. At some point, most all of the characters have either been expelled or nearly expelled. Some characters, three times. |

Now if a civilian's been of special service to the RCPD, they are granted a one-time pardon on certain types of transgressions, as long as those transgressions were necessary to the service and weren't publicized. | |

Sam Tarly in Game of Thrones disobeys a direct order from the Archmaester in order to attempt the highly risky treatment of Jorah Mormont's greyscale. When he finds out, the Archmaester summons Sam to his study, dresses him down for disobedience and risking the infection of countless others - and then compliments him on the perfect execution of a dangerous and meticulous medical procedure. Alas for Sam, he still has to go back to drudge work; his "reward" is not getting expelled from the Citadel. | |

A variation in Fairy Tail. In Master Makarov's first appearance, he admonishes everyone in the guild for various misdeeds (especially Natsu for blowing up several buildings). Just as it looks like he's about to give them all severe punishment, he says something that boils down to "Screw the Council! True Fairy Tail mages don't need to be intimidated by authority!" And the crowd goes wild. They also invert it. When the Magic Council goes over a list of violations by Fairy Tail, including many, many counts of property damage, and associating with the criminal Jellal, not to mention all the things they did before the new council was selected, one of them mentions that the guild did help stop one of the three most dangerous dark guilds around from taking over an ancient magic that would have turned the whole country into a giant magic war zone. The other members then decide that this is ''also'' a violation, because they didn't wait to get permission to save the day (while conveniently ignoring that Fairy Tail was part of a willing coalition with three other guilds to do this and no mention of those guilds getting a violation for being associated). |

Undercover Brother. Da Chief gives the title character a piece of his mind. Considering that almost every one of those dollars of damage was a) caused by Conspiracy Brother and b) done to The Man's property and plans, it's doubtful that the Chief was too upset and just wanted to invoke this trope. | |

In Young Justice, Batman delivers one of these in episode four. Particularly notable for coming from Batman, who in a lot of media is obsessively controlling to the point of being unable to deal with any deviation from his orders, no matter how justified. He scolds the team for not obeying his order to not interfere, and then praises them for reacting well once contact with the enemy inevitably changed the game. | |

His superiors know exactly how it went down and tell him they'd execute him if not for how bad it would look; instead, they pin a medal on him and then give him a reassignment as third in command of the shittiest outpost in the country. | |

Often the case with Jimmy McNulty of The Wire. Described by one of his peers as " a picture postcard of a drunken, self-destructive fuck-up", none of this stops Mcnulty from taking on cold and dead cases and knocking them out the park. May not be saving lives, but he's certainly saving the Homicide Unit's clearance rate when he's not trashing it with vindictive (yet factual!) memos. | |

Reid got a McCloud speech from Hotch in the Criminal Minds episode "Elephant's Memory". When the Un-Sub, a teenager who killed bullies who targeted him, was approaching the police station to retrieve his runaway girlfriend, Reid confronted him and purposely extended his arms and body in such a way to shield him from potential gunfire from his teammates, not wanting the Un-Sub to go down in a hail of bullets since Reid identified with him in a way having been a victim of bullying himself. Hotch mentions at the end of the episode about how he should fire Reid for his actions- since he put himself and his teammates in danger- and "next time (he) will", before telling him at the end that he "did a good job". | |

Commander Blaine gets one of these at the beginning of The Mote in God's Eye for leading his marines in a coup de main against a rebellious planet's shield generator. If he had failed, the admiral would have had no choice other than orbital bombardment, killing most of the population and dooming what remained to a slow death by starvation. In the end, Blaine's action was successful, so he was promoted and given command of a battlecruiser. One character in that series (in fact, I think it's the one delivering this particular chewing-out) says that officers are, instead of following whatever stupid idea comes to mind, supposed to follow The Book, which he then categorizes as "largely a bunch of stupid ideas that worked." |

Parodied in South Park. The boys set up a make-believe detective agency and a police captain, seemingly going along with the gag, agrees to let them "work" as real detectives. He then immediately turns serious and sends them after genuine criminals, namely to bust a drug ring. The boys reluctantly go along, and unintentionally provoke the drug runners, and later some crooked cops, to panic and get themselves killed (repeatedly). The captain reprimands the boys for each of their bloodbath results, but always ends with something like "But dammit, you get the job done!" The boys, for their part, think real police work sucks, and when offered a promotion at the end of the episode, decide to resign and open a make-believe dry cleaners instead. | |

They defy an order from Parker and expose themselves to danger several times over, but their actions (specifically, Clark managing to plant a cell phone on a major player) end up proving critical to resolving the situation. Parker and Ed even discuss the conundrum. Their ultimate decision: give them a quick reprimand and then take them out for pizza. Dean and Clark are stunned. |

Episode 5 of Digimon Savers has a perfect example: Satsuma is furious at the team for disobeying his orders, to the point Kudamon does most of the scolding for him. When it seems like he's going to unload on Masaru and Tohma in particular... he quietly congratulates them for making it back, smiling to Kudamon's confusion. This could be explained by the fact the last time he went to the Digital World it was a disaster. Knowing his team did it successfully gave him hope that Digital Dives could actually work. | |

A notable subversion occurred in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, where Lieutenant Tom Paris acted against the captain's wishes in order to do the Right Thing... and got chewed up and demoted to Ensign for his troubles.

Babylon 5: After the fall of President Clark's regime, the new President Luchenko comments that there was much discussion of whether Sheridan should be given the Medal of Honor for restoring the legitimate government, or taken out and shot for leading a rebellion (and that, logically, she should compromise by doing both). The upshot is that Sheridan and the other rebels are granted amnesty, on condition that he immediately resigns from EarthForce, which he does. In a similar vein, when Garibaldi takes over his fiance's company as the new CEO/Chairman of the Board, he calls a meeting with about eight notorious troublemakers, upstarts, whistleblowers and worrywarts. One of them gets up and exclaims how none of them did anything wrong, there's no way Garibaldi can just fire them; Garibaldi instead says how he just fired the old board of directors, who were nothing but sycophantic yes-men, and this Ragtag Bunch of Misfits is the new board. Specifically, it's their job to tell him when he, or anyone else in management, is screwing up or generally acting like an ass on company time. When Sheridan was missing and presumed dead after going to Z'ha'dum, Ivanova, Delenn, and Lyta Alexander took a White Star in an (unsuccessful) search for him. When he returns, he first chides them for the "foolish and dangerous" attempt, but adds "I can't thank you enough". |
