History AssholeVictim / GameOfThrones

* This was a common reaction to the murder of [[spoiler: Shae after she is found in Tywin's bed following her betrayal of Tyrion]].

* [[spoiler: Finally, '''Littlefinger''', the man whose manipulations started the War of Five Kings, killed Jon Arryn, Ned Stark and many other people, brought great ruin to the realm all for the sake of his own ambitions, is trialed and executed by Sansa and Arya.]]

* [[spoiler: Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes. Tyrion is quick to remind her -- and the viewers -- that [[TokenEvilTeammate despite her alliance with Dany]], they murdered an innocent child just to spite the Lannisters, not to mention their coup on Dorne just because Doran wanted peace. By the end of the second episode of Season 7, Euron has killed both Obara and Nymeria with their own weapons and plans to hand-deliver Ellaria and Tyene to Cersei as war prisoners. And given the type of person ''Cersei'' is, it may have been kinder for Euron to kill the latter two then and there.]]

* [[spoiler: Tywin]] definitely had it coming.

* [[spoiler: The Night's Watch mutineers led by Alliser Thorne, who murdered Jon over a petty grudge against the wildlings. They more than deserved their hanging by a resurrected Jon Snow.]]

* [[spoiler:Kraznys mo Nakloz]] was an utter asshole the entire time he was dealing with Daenerys and her people. Drogon crisping the bastard is immensely satisfying.

* [[spoiler:Polliver and his men.]]

* After all his crimes and in the midst of a plot to murder a child, [[spoiler: Locke]]'s death is rather gratifying.

* [[spoiler: [[[[DirtyCoward Meryn Trant]]]] was an amoral goon from the start, but the show adds [[PedoHunt pedophilia]] and [[BondageIsBad sexual sadism]] in his last two scenes to remove any doubt.

* [[spoiler: [[{{Jerkass}}Meryn]][[DirtyCoward Trant]]]] was an amoral goon from the start, but the show adds [[PedoHunt pedophilia]] and [[BondageIsBad sexual sadism]] in his last two scenes to remove any doubt.

* [[spoiler: Meryn Trant]] was an amoral goon from the start, but the show adds [[PedoHunt pedophilia]] and [[BondageIsBad sexual sadism]] in his last two scenes to remove any doubt.

* Ser Hugh dies painfully in a joust with Gregor Clegane shortly after haughtily dismissing Jory because he isn't a knight despite being only a squire himself until recently.

** [[spoiler:Lancel threatens to hurt the little bird simply for running away from him.]]

* [[spoiler: Joffrey]] spends his final episode putting his {{Jerkass}}ery on full display. His death was few of the extremely rare instances when it was actually celebrated by the fans. [[spoiler: Even Jack Gleeson himself has stated he was glad Joffery was dead.]]

* [[spoiler: Joffrey]] spends his final episode putting his {{Jerkass}}ery on full display. His death was few of the extremely rare instances when it was actually celebrated by the fans.

* [[spoiler:Kraznys mo Nakloz]] was an utter asshole the entire time he was dealing with Danaerys and her people. Drogon crisping the bastard is immensely satisfying.

** This becomes a plot point later. Anyone who knows anything about the show knows that [[spoiler:Joffrey is easily the most cruel and rotten person there, and due to his penchant for ordering people to be killed, tortured and publically humiliated simply because he could do that with no repercussions, the suspect list is pretty much everyone in King's Landing: Jaime gives absolutely zero shits about Joffrey's death to the extent where he has sex with Cersei right next to his dead body, Tywin doesn't even pretend to feel bad for him and sums up his legacy with "he was not a good king or a wise king, if he was then perhaps he would still be alive", Tyrion is accused of killing him and while he pleads his innocence he also maintains that frankly the world is better off without him anyway, Margaery is more shaken up by ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath how he died]]'' rather than the fact that he did, and even Cersei, the only person to mourn his death, is not above tossing around the idea that her son may have deserved what happened to him. His killers, Ollena Tyrell and Littlefinger admit to their confidants that they had Joffrey killed specifically because he was an asshole.]]

* We get to see the madam of the Mole's Town brothel mistreating Gilly so we don't feel bad when she's murdered by Ygritte.

* [[spoiler: Lem of the brigands]], who murdered [[spoiler: Sandor's newfound community, especially when he was [[TheAtoner finally finding peace in his life.]] He murdered them all, just for the bland reason of not having money and food. It's very hard to feel sorry for him when the Hound and Beric Dondarrion fought over who takes the kill, and even played InUniverse when The Hound takes his boot off, when you know he was.. Uh... Hanging to death.]]

* [[spoiler The two Masters who had the gall to attack Meereen, despite being offered a peace treaty and an alternate outcome.]] It is hard to feel sorry for them.

* "The Winds of Winter":
** [[spoiler:The High Sparrow]] and [[spoiler:Lancel]] weren't exactly sympathetic this season, but in this episode, each takes actions to make sure the viewer is less inclined to consider their loss a bad thing:
*** [[spoiler:The High Sparrow goes back on his deal with Margaery by marking Loras as a member of the Faith (essentially robbing House Tyrell of its heir).]]
*** [[spoiler:Lancel threatens to hurt the little bird simply for running away from him.]]
** [[spoiler:[[ApologeticAttacker Qyburn]]]] says that, whatever [[spoiler:Pycelle's]] faults, he didn't deserve the death that he receives. Considering that [[spoiler:Pycelle was a shameless weasel who did everything in his power to stay in the good graces of whoever happened to be in charge]], it's easy to disagree with him.

Much like [[AssholeVictim/ASongOfIceAndFire its source material, the show has plenty of [[AssholeVictim these]]:
