Most of the time, characters will blame themselves for things going south. But there are some cases where the character who really is to blame will blame everyone else instead. Common variations include: * The person stuck with the blame fails to defend himself, perhaps out of sheer dumbfoundedness at the other person's gall. * The blame-shifter offers an absurdly flimsy pretext for ducking responsibility. * The character does this all the time... and consistently gets away with it. The formal term for this is the "fundamental attribution error." Examples of Never My Fault include:

This is a frequent component of Comedic Sociopathy. Also tends to involve Moral Dissonance. The diametric opposite of It's All My Fault. A character prone to this will likely try Glad I Thought of It too. Compare Hypocritical Humor, which can involve a similar blindness to one's own flaws, and Implausible Deniability. See also It's All About Me, which is one reason why a character would fall into just about any of the above. The formal term for this is the "fundamental attribution error."
