* ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': Luigi and Toad, although Luigi is the one being most mistreated by the cast.

* Roi is turned into an IronButtMonkey in pretty much every ''WebOriginal/EscapeTheNight'' fan work. His tendency to be TheKlutz and his usual LeeroyJenkins tactics are being taken UpToEleven to the point where pretty much nothing ever goes good for him, and he's always PlayedForLaughs.

Compare with the ButtMonkey (a character who is mistreated regardless of audience opinion), and TheEeyore (whose depression is usually in excess of their actual mistreatment), and the IronButtmonkey (who seems to suffer injury and accidents more frequently than anyone should, but is capable of taking it). Contrast with TheWoobie, whose suffering inspires sympathy and a desire to make things better for them instead of amusement[[note]]which category a certain character fits in may vary from person to person[[/note]]. The polar opposite is KarmaHoudini, where characters do horrible things while karma (and occasionally the other characters) sits back, watches, and [[PassThePopcorn eats popcorn]]. Villains and {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s, though, do make good Chew Toys as they bring the bad stuff on themselves. Also by making it a self-inflicted role (most often because of a character's [[TooDumbToLive stupidity]] and short-sightedness) it also makes the torment more palatable.

* Virtually every character in ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'', although Cuddles and Lumpy tend to take the most damage, if only because they appear the most.

* ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'' : Luigi and Toad, although Luigi is the one being most mistreated by the cast.

* ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'':
** Luigi and Toad, although Luigi is the one being most mistreated by the cast.
** Tari in "Mario the Ultimate Gamer".

An odd sort of polar opposite to TheWoobie, The Chew Toy is a character the audience loves specifically ''because'' his or her misery amuses them so. The Chew Toy is roughed up or messed with on a constant basis... and is always, ''always'' [[PlayedForLaughs used for comic effect and treated with a light touch]], generally [[ComedicSociopathy glossing over the meaner undertones of the idea]].

* ''FanFic/ThisBites'': Between bites to the ear, strangulation, broken noses, {{Groin Attack}}s (usually from Vivi) and Zoro's TrainingFromHell, Cross and physical abuse are very well-acquainted. It doesn't help that he loves intentionally riling other people up with pranks or otherwise putting them into situations that have them immediately swear vengeance on the guy even long before he physically meets them.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Confinement}} stars a man named Connor with ResurrectiveImmortality who is a prisoner of the Wiki/SCPFoundation. They use him as a test subject for all kinds of deadly experiments since he cannot die no matter what happens to him. He has been killed multiple times by a mutant cannibal, killed by a song that causes plants and fungus to grow and mutate and then turned into a log, eaten by a prehistoric sea monster, baked into a living gingerbread man and then eaten, killed multiple times by a magic sword, eaten by a giant lizard, killed multiple times by a robot that wanted to steal his body, turned into a frog and tortured, and more. Having been a prisoner all of his life he's gotten used to all this.

* Seth Rollins became this in 2015, as WWE World Heavyweight Champion no less. He's hated by every other main-eventer on the show, gets his ass kicked and pinned on RAW way more than he should, and gets humiliated rather frequently. However, considering how much of a [[DirtyCoward coward]] and [[SmugSnake a snake]] he's been since he stabbed the rest of Wrestling/The Shield in the back and turned heel, including the manner in which he won the title in the first place, a lot of it he [[LaserGuidedKarma deserved it]].

* ''Franchise/GrisaiaSeries'': Michiru, She is always falling or geting dirt in embarrasing situations, Sometimes is unconsciously on pourpose [[spoiler:She does on pourpose because making the others laugh is the way she feels worth to live.]]

* Thomas Timberwolf from ''WebAnimation/TimberWolf'' due to the fact whenever he says and/or shouts "Timber" he keeps getting hit by trees.

* ''FanFic/AShadowOfTheTitans'' has the minor HIVE student called "[[UnfortunateNames Evil Dick]]", who seems to exist only to get his ass kicked. In his first appearance, he ticks off [[AxCrazy Gadjo]], who puts him in a full body cast. In his second, he's easily removed from the Titans' rematch with Super Jinx by Cyborg, who doesn't even remember his name. His third appearance is basically an afterthought to the scene he's in, and you can guess how it works out for him.

* ''Fanfic/AGrowingAffection'' makes Sasuke into this. [[spoiler:He gets mind controlled by the Blood Drinker Demon, and has to be rescued by Naruto. He manages to beat Orochimaru, but that turns out to be all part of Orochimaru's plan. He goes after Itachi, only to be defeated and get his team killed by Kisame. He lets Ororchimaru take over his body in return for Orochimaru killing Itachi. Except that during the fight Orochimaru manipulates it so Sasuke learns the truth about Itachi and the Uchiha slaughter (different from canon) rendering everything Sasuke has done pointless. Finally, Sasuke sacrifices himself to give Naruto a chance to finish Orochimaru.]]

* Virtually every character in ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''.

* ''Machinima/{{Supermarioglitchy4}}'':
