*''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS2E3 Dead Man's Eleven]]", the culprit turns out to be the Cavendish's rarely seen housekeeper, who is actually the wife of a man killed by Cavendish's corporate negligence in the past. In keeping with the trope, most of the hanging mysteries are solved by the fact that she had access to the whole house while remaining beneath everyone's notice.

* This trope is inverted in Rare's commercially unsuccessful ''VideoGame/GrabbedByTheGhoulies''. Ghoulhaven's [[CloudCuckoolander looney master]] Baron Von Ghoul has a few servants, but all of them aside from the also-mad Dr. Krackpot seem like generally good folk displeased with his actions.[[spoiler: It's revealed near the end that Baron Von Ghoul had been wearing a LatexPerfection mask to act as one of those servants: Crivens the butler. Since the house otherwise has no butler, the butler didn't do it. Rather, the one who did it was also the butler. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when the Baron himself states that he [[DidntSeeThatComing didn't think Cooper expected]] the butler to have done it]].

** The [[WhatCouldHaveBeen unproduced sequel]] would reveal that [[spoiler:Crivens is a real person who escaped Ghoulhaven Hall and went to Ghoulsville-In-The-Gloom, the ending shows the main characters going to that town while being followed by the Baron, meaning that they were going to meet the real Crivens there]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TopCatAndTheBeverlyHillsCats'': Gertrude Vandergelt's butler Snerdly, third in line in her will, tries to do in Benny (who's ''second'' in line) and has also manipulated Amy Vandergelt into never visiting her aunt Gertrude and working at a car wash, keeping her from learning of her aunt's "death" and that she's the primary heir. T.C. actually dismisses him as a threat at first, saying it's an old cliche and that the butler never does it anymore, but eventually comes to realize that Snerdly really is a villain.



* Snerdly in ''WesternAnimation/TopCat'''s movie ''Top Cat and the Beverly Hills Cats'' is the main villain of the story. He is unable to kill someone (it is a kid's movie) but certainly tries.
