* The King from ''VideoGame/Deltarune'' invokes this trope if you visit him in jail at the start of Chapter 2. He then reveals that despite attempting to throw his son, it was just a bluff and he really does care for him.

* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' when Bob finds Galatea at the lowest point in her young life, shivering alone behind a trashcan in a downpour, she snarls, "So... You followed me! Why?? Come to gloat at me, while I'm in this pathetic state? How petty!" [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20080902.html She's wrong, of course.]]

-->--'''ComicBook/{{Loki}}''', ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''

When someone is captured, and then one of the captors goes to visit the captive. The captive expects the captor to make with some EvilGloating. A common thread is the one down on their luck making sarcastic remarks about their fall from grace that put them in such a situation ("Oh, it's you. So you've come to see the 'Great ___' and scoff at his hour of despair!") as an attempt to deflect the incoming chiding. But usually, if it's shown, then he hasn't come to gloat, and it's just {{Exposition}}. Sometimes he gloats anyway, though. Not limited to captures, either - it can be spoken any time when there are two longtime rivals and one of them suffers a misfortune. Sometimes the rival makes an unethical offer. For example, he may offer to buy the other partner's half of their business (the price is good, but it'll still mean they're out of business), or offer to pay the other partner's debts in exchange for getting the Love Interest, etc.

* ''Series/ThePunisher2017''. [[PsychoPsychologist Dr. Krista Dumont]] attacks Agent Madani only to get pushed out a window, permanently crippling her. When Madani visits her in hospital Dumont asks this trope which she denies, though Madani isn't above gloating that Dumont's boyfriend Billy Russo will soon be dead.

* The penultimate scene in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.

* Happens in the ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' comic. The turtles are being held prisoner by a crazed whaler who is essentially a Japanese [[Literature/MobyDick Captain Ahab]]. When his first mate visits them in the brig, they start cursing at him and one of them shouts, "Come to gloat?" Subverted in that the whaler has actually come down to free them.

* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''. Loki when Thor turns up [[EnemyMine to free him in exchange for his help]]. An interesting version in that when Loki gives this trope, he appears as his usual [[ManOfWealthAndTaste nattily-dressed self]] delivering the expected [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Reason You Suck Speeches]], but Thor tells him to drop the facade. The glamor then disappears to reveal Loki with unkempt hair, slumped at the back of his trashed LuxuryPrisonSuite.

* In VideoGame/StarcraftIILegacyOfTheVoid this is said by Narud to the infested Stukov. Stukov's reply is he's there to say "goodnight you son of a bitch!"

* Played straight in ''VideoGame/DeusEx'', when [[spoiler: Anna Navarre comes to visit JC in the prison compound underneath Unatco HQ.]] The usage of the line itself is inverted however, as she forestalls any such question byn JC, saying outright "I came to watch you die". JC is defiant instead of angered.

As he is imprisoned on the Enterprise, he cynically asks Data if it gives him pleasure in his loot being confiscated. "No, sir, it does not," Data replies. "I do not feel pleasure. I am only an android."
