PETITIO PRINCIPII FALLACY
I was sitting in front of the library today waiting for my critical thinking class to begin, while i was sitting there, one boy came and joined his friends who were sitting in the table just besides mine. He showed them a CD which he was holding on the hand. They asked him why he bought a new expensive CD while he can download from the internet and transfer into an Empty CD. He defended himself by saying by doings so he will be practising Software piracy which is illegal. 

One of his other friends hit back and asked him "Why are you saying sofware piracy is illegal", the boy went on and said " do you really want to know? its because its against the law."
the words illegal and against the law means essentially the same thing.

TU QUOQUE
How can you be saying i did not do my part while you cannot even say a single word from your speech. This was what my groupmate for Bahasa Malaysia Drama assignment said when one of our members who was so disappointed with the outcome of todays's meeting, asked why we didnt memorize our scripts.
This adhominem fallacy basically occurs when someone tries to point out something but then it turns out that they also has the same weakness or fault that they are accusing others of.
