# TrappedByMountainLions.LiveActionFilms: The second half of ''Film/ADayAtTheRaces'' has an extended musical interlude which starts with Allan Jones singing "Tomorrow Is Another Day," which is followed by Harpo using his flute to summon a black chorus which sings "Blow That Horn, Gabriel" and "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm." The chorus has nothing else to do in the movie except reappear to sing the finale. Many Creator/MarxBrothers fans consider this sequence as objectionable on an EthnicScrappy level, while some say it's [[FairForItsDay not really that bad by itself]] and the choir are very good, but it just stops the plot dead and its earnestness clashes painfully with the Marxes' usual slapstick and wisecracks.

# Characters.TransformersGeneration1Autobots1984To1985: TheNthDoctor: After Creator/CaseyKasem quit the show in disgust over its EthnicScrappy portrayal of Arabs (Kasem was Lebanese-American), Teletraan I was replaced with Teletraan II, apparently exactly the same except for the voice.

# Jerkass.LiveActionFilms: A good example of comic-relief gone awry would be L.J. from ''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse''. His obnoxious, stereotypical and totally inappropriate "street flava" nearly makes him a modern day EthnicScrappy, and annoyed many viewers. In the follow-up movie, [[spoiler:he is killed off, but by then he'd dropped the ModernMinstrelsy crap and became somewhat sympathetic]].
# LeaningOnTheFourthWall.WesternAnimation; WesternAnimation.TheSimpsons: In "No Good Read Goes Unpunished", Marge rediscovers her favourite childhood book and notices it's full of ValuesDissonance, to which Lisa says "Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?", before panning to a picture of Apu. This scene was addressing criticism about whether Apu was or has become an EthnicScrappy.
# Main.MemeticLoser: Franchise.StarWars: Jar Jar Binks is such a universally loathed character that he is quite easily considered the most noteworthy [[TheScrappy scrappy]] of all time behind the TropeNamer himself. The movies clearly meant to play him up as an incompetent buffoon, making him border on this status InUniverse already, but this intended portrayal plus [[HumorDissonance multiple "jokes" involving him just being lame]] ToiletHumor plus being such an annoying '''[[EthnicScrappy racist]]''' [[SpaceJews caricature]] make this reputation in RealLife even worse to the point that most fans consider him to have singlehandedly ruined ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' with his lameness.

# YMMV.Annie2014: TheyChangedItNowItSucks: They got rid of Punjab the Indian servant in favor of Nash the bodyguard. Again, adding Punjab to the original film was a criticism back in the eighties; he wasn't in the stage version (he was a CanonImmigrant from the comic) and was an EthnicScrappy many found annoying.

After several years of backlash from animation fans, the ban was finally lifted.

** Sahara Mirage is also controversial for being skewed portrayals of Arabian culture, jumping off of popularized stereotypes like the others.

# BaseBreakingCharacter.MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic: Despite only appearing in the ''Ponyville Mysteries'' book "Riddle of the Rusty Horseshoe" thus far, Scootaloo's aunts have already become two of the most controversial characters in the entire franchise, possibly even more so than Flash Sentry and Starlight Glimmer. In the book, Aunt Holiday and Aunt Lofty are ''heavily'' implied to be lesbians, with Holiday giving Lofty an affectionate kiss on the forehead and calling her "dear".
