** ''ComicBook/LetMyPeopleGrow'': After shrinking Superman, Brainiac takes a moment to gloat about annihilating him instead of annihilating him without further ado, giving Supergirl time to appear and run interference.
--->'''Brainiac:''' ''"I have no idea what you hoped to accomplish with that ridiculous maneuver, Superman-- and, regrettably, you're not going to be here long enough for me to find out! That first shot shrunk you to the size of a mosquito-- But the blast you're about to receive will reduce you to absolute nothingness!"''\\
'''Supergirl:''' ''"I wouldn't touch that button if I were you, Brainiac!"''

** ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'': Lex is first introduced in a flashback where he is gloating to his sister about the fact that he turned the sun red to kill Superman. He is dismissive of the fact that humans can't survive under a red sun either. In the last episode, he invites his sister and mother [[spoiler:to the White House]] and says he's above gloating... and then spends the entire conversation gloating about how he's a VillainWithGoodPublicity who [[spoiler:controls the President]].

** Grayson had Duncan disarmed and on his knees and hesitated taking his head to gloat about how Duncan would have won in a few hundred years more. This gives Duncan the chance to jump off the platform they were on down to the ground, grab his sword and get a HeroicSecondWind.

* ''Series/OddSquad'':
** The episode "Villains Helping Villains" lampshades this trope in the titular InstructionalFilm by having Jamie Jam, a well-known villainess in Odd Squad's RoguesGallery, advise villains not to gloat because while it's fun to taunt your enemies, gloating ultimately leads into you telling them where you'll strike next, where you've already struck, and what pattern you follow when committing odd crimes.
--> '''Jamie Jam:''' Listen, I get how fun it is to brag about how much smarter you are than Odd Squad, and how they'll never catch you. I've even done it myself. [...] Great speech, right? Wrong. I told Odd Squad what I was going to do and ''where'' I was going to do it, which made it so much easier for them to ''catch me!''
** A subversion occurs in the mid-season 3 finale "End of the Road" with resident BigBad The Shadow, where she says that the Mobile Unit isn't getting a long monologue, but rather a short haiku.
--> '''Olizabeth:''' I bet you're expecting a big evil speech. But you're not ''getting'' one!
--> ''[the agents are relieved]''
--> '''Olizabeth:''' You're getting a poem instead!
--> ''[the agents become unnerved again]''
--> Olizabeth: Odd Squad is ''finished.'' And the Mobile Unit too. ''Boo hoo hoo,'' for ''you.'' Buh-''bye, Odd Squad!''
** While most every villain in Odd Squad's RoguesGallery gloats to various extents, "Down the Tubes" puts a comedic spin on it by having Tennifer gloat, then get cut off by Orla excitedly talking about how fun TubeTravel is, and then go right back to gloating.
** Backwards Bob, introduced in "20 Questions", is prone to doing this ''very'' frequently.
--> '''Backwards Bob:''' Four questions left, for a three-digit code. Kids, ''welcome to Donesville,'' population: 3, plus me! I'm the mayor, Bobby Done. My family started this town ''generations'' ago! ''[chuckling]''
** Odd Todd, the BigBad of Season 1, also does this often, even during a high-stakes court trial.
--> '''Odd Todd:''' ''[after taking a sip of lemonade]'' Tastes. Like. ''Victory.'' ''[EvilLaugh]''

** {{Invoked}} by Loki in his relationship to Thor. Mortal Belief defines him as untrustworthy and dishonest, so he literally ''cannot'' honestly explain his goals or actions to most of his peers. But since Thor is his arch-rival, honestly discussing the current situation and what Loki plans to do about it counts as evil gloating and is thus within the scope of Belief.
