Stan Pines (Gravity Falls): "Do a pretty good impression of my brother, don't I? Switch clothes and no one can tell us apart." Switched clothes with his identical twin to bait an interdimensional god into invading his set-to-destruct brain.

Johnny (Devil Went Down to Georgia): Through sheer love of his craft, bests the Devil in a musical contest. It's not, like, a cautionary fable against mortal arrogance or a tale about human cleverness. He's just a goddamn good violin player.

It's the (initial, surface level) plot of Neon Genesis Evanggelion.
