Asshole Victim / Western Animation

• Aladdin:
  • In the movie, the first thief Jafar employs to retrieve the magic lamp from the cave of wonders is Gazeem. Gazeem tells Jafar he had to slit a few throats to retrieve a magic artifact. After delaying payment, Jafar tells Gazeem he will "get what's coming to him" in the cave of wonders. The cave of wonders allows Gazeem to enter, but swallows him up as soon as he does. Jafar observes that Gazeem was less than worthy.
  • Destane from the animated series. His former apprentice Mozenrath turned him into just another one of his pitiful, mute zombie minions, but according to Iago, Destane was so depraved even Jafar steered clear of him.
• Amazing World Of Gumball: Gumball can be considered a victim of this sorts. While he is a young child, he can be a cocky roaster at times. This behavior would usually lead him into his crazy misadventures. For example, in “The Flakers”:

  Tina: (In Gumball's face) Grrrrrr... take back what you said.

  Gumball: Uhhh, I would... IF IT WASN'T TRUE! THERE'S NO POINT OF YOU TAKING PIANO LESSONS, YOU ONLY HAVE FOUR FINGERS, IT'S A WASTE OF YOUR DAD'S MONEY!

  Tina: And what do you suggest I play?

  Gumball: Pfft, (Giggling) maracas?

  -Tina roars at Gumball-

  Tina: You better have some kind of escape plan right now.

  Gumball: Oh, better than that, I got a best friend who's always here to save my skin.

  -Gumball looks over at Darwin, but he already left-

  Gumball: Just do what you gotta do.

  -Cuts to a Video game, where a monster is stomping on a tiny hero, and later showing an angry Gumball with a neck brace-

• American Dad!
  • After Stan gets falsely arrested for domestic and sexual abuse, he plans to get himself released by framing it on a person who, while innocent, deserves to be punished anyway. They end up pinning it on a co-worker of Roger who screwed him over. The fact that the guy turned out to be a Neo-Nazi, and the detective in charge is a Holocaust survivor, was the icing on the cake.
  • After Roger runs away from home and creates a little old lady persona, he befriends another old lady who eventually turns out to be a particularly nasty Racist Grandma towards pretty much everyone (even white people). After having enough of her attitude, him and Stan have zero hesitation tricking CIA agents into thinking she's Roger to get the heat off of the Smith family after they started suspecting Stan was harboring their escaped alien.
• Huntsman in American Dragon: Jake Long. In the series' penultimate episode, his apprentice Rose wishes him out of existence; given all of his detestable deeds, from kidnapping Rose as a baby to raise as his ward, to being the leader of a cult of hunters who ate, slept and breathed the extinction of magical creatures, let's just say no-one's losing sleep over him.
• Avatar: The Last Airbender:
  • Admiral Zhao from Season 1 is a ruthless, cruel, and brutal soldier of the Fire Nation. He will attack and burn down any village that has helped the Avatar and his friends and has no sense of honor in getting what he wants. It comes to a head at the end of the season when he infiltrates the north pole and murders the moon spirit, robbing Waterbenders of their powers. The moon spirit's partner, the ocean spirit, rampages as a result, and once Yue's sacrifice restores the moon, the ocean spirit exacts revenge on Zhao, dragging him into the water's depths and, as revealed in the sequel series, imprisoning him for all of eternity in the Fog of Lost Souls.
  • The fiance of Princess Yue also qualifies for it. He wants to marry her, though he knows that she is a forced marriage to him, and that she loves another boy. He doesn't love her, but simply wants to rise in the hierarchy, and also behaves very arrogantly. Finally, he tries to fight against Admiral Zhao, but due to a case of arrogance-induced idiocy, he gets thrown overboard without a word into the icy waters. It's unknown whether he was actually killed, since he doesn't appear after "attacking" Zhao.
  • From the Sequel Series, The Legend of Korra , the Earth Queen was a horrible tyrant who ate her dad’s beloved pet bear, Bosco, For the Evulz but even Korra (who doesn’t follow Aang’s Thou Shalt Not Kill rule) and Suyin (a republican) admit that she didn’t deserve getting murdered by having the air sucked out of her lungs.
  • Some of the victims Amon de-bended in Book One count as well. Lightning Bolt Zolt was a triad leader, Tahno was a slimy probender who cheated and paid off people to win, and Tarrlok launched discriminatory and oppressive measures against nonbenders in Republic City and kidnapped and held Korra hostage.
    • Tahno did grow humbler after being stripped of his powers; when Korra found a way to restore it, he returned to probending, but not to dirty tactics.
• Batman: The Animated Series
  • One non-lethal example in the episode "Heart of Ice", the origin episode of Mr. Freeze. On the outside, CEO Ferris Boyle of GothCorp seems like a pretty decent fellow, even gaining an award for being the "Humanitarian of the Year". But this couldn't be further from the truth. Not only did Boyle nearly kill Nora Fries by stopping her husband from freezing her until a cure could be found for her terminal illness, but he ruins Victor's life forever by intentionally kicking Victor into a table of chemicals after convincing him that "we can talk", freezing him and forcing him to live in a subzero environment to survive. Even Batman is horrified by Boyle's callousness and leaves him frozen from the waist down after foiling Mr. Freeze's attempted murder of him, declaring "Good night...Humanitarian" in disgust. For good measure, he also leaves the footage of Boyle kicking Fries into the chemicals with Summer Gleeson.
  • Similarly, in the Riddler's origin episode "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?", Daniel Mockridge fires Edward Nygma so that he can keep all the profits from Nygma's new game for himself. When Nygma comes back for revenge, Batman does save Mockridge from Riddler's death trap... but is darkly satisfied to leave Mockridge to take care of himself after that. In the final scene, Mockridge is now a paranoid nervous wreck, skulking around his own house and tucking himself into bed with a shotgun always in hand in case Nygma comes after him again. For all the money he made off the game, and the merger with Wayne Enterprises, Mockridge will never have a night of restful sleep again.
  • Pop-star Cassidy in "Torch Song", the origin episode of Firefly. While nothing can justify Garfield Lynns' becoming an arson-based supervillain and plotting to set all of Gotham City on fire as proof for his love of the singer who dumped him, his claims that Cassidy is shallow and manipulative and that she only dated him to get him to design the greatest pyrotechnics display in history for her tour has some merit. When Batman meets with Cassidy to ask her about her relationship with Lynns, she makes a tasteless joke about the property damage Lynns has inflicted so far trying to get to her and offers Sex for Services to Batman if he'll protect her personally. When he walks out in the middle of her "I'm too scared to be alone...." speech, her demeanor instantly changes and she calls Batman a creep. However, the episode ending suggests Laser-Guided Karma kicked in, because while Cassidy's name is in the news because of Firefly and she's more popular than ever, she's also developed a fear of fire. Which is unfortunate as fire was the theme of her current tour and her agent and publisher are already discussing making that the theme of her next tour at the end of the episode, as Cassidy freezes up seeing a flambe dish being served.
• Batman Beyond:
  • A non-lethal version of the "Anyone Could've Done it" plot comes up in "Golem" when the car of the school's Jerk Jock, Nelson Nash, is found crushed like a soda can, by one of the students he picked on, Willie Watt, as an act of revenge. Bruce asks Terry (who didn't know who crushed Nelson's car) whether anyone might be holding some kind of grudge or otherwise seeking revenge against said jock. Terry promptly admits "The line starts with me and goes around the block, twice."
  • In the episode "Final Cut", there is Society of Assassins member Mutro Botha; he didn't truly die (physical), but what Curare did to him reduced him to a vegetative state. And seeing as he was just as much a hired killer as Curare and had blackmailed Terry into helping him by planting a bomb capable of destroying Gotham, it was hard to feel sorry for him.
  • Interestingly, "April Moon" has this occurring at the end rather than the beginning. As Bruce Wayne is questioning Terry about his latest case, in which he managed to put a stop to the bad guys' crimes by breaking their enhancements but their leader got away, Terry explains how the doctor they were blackmailing into installing enhancements in them caught his "hostage" wife cheating on him with the gang's leader, but the gang's leader doesn't know this. Bruce then realizes that unlike other criminals who're likely to turn up again sooner or later to commit more crimes, they probably won't be seeing this guy again. The very last scene is of the doctor with a drill in hand about to "operate" on the gang leader... and we never do see this guy in any other episode ever again.
  • Stephanie Lake, a scientist working for Derek Powers. Suggesting she could use his baseline DNA to build a new body for him, she first tested the procedure on someone else with systemically damaged DNA - Mr. Freeze. While it seemed a success at first, Freeze's cloned body eventually started to regress back to it's old condition. Thinking a biopsy of his organs would help find the problem, Lake tried to kill Freeze (coldly staring at him as he begged for mercy) but Freeze escaped, and came back in a new suit of Powered Armor. He seeked vengeance against Lake and Powers, and came after Lake, freezing her completely and killing her in the process. Being Mr. Freeze's first victim to ever be killed in the DCAU, she deserves that status whole-heartedly.
    Mr. Freeze: Remember, there may be some momentary discomfort.
  • Ian Peek also qualifies. He is a reporter that gained the power to make himself intangible. He uses said power to dig up dirt on celebrities and expose it, giving no regard to the collateral damage caused by his exposure and only looking for the juiciest ratings. He even manages to unmask Terry and Bruce with a hidden camera, broadcasting the plan to expose Batman's identity on his show. But as it turned out, he stole the intangibility technology and murdered its creator, leaving him out of his depth when his power begins malfunctioning. Despite Terry's best efforts to save him, he's rendered permanently intangible with no control, leaving gravity to drag him through the floor, the ground, and Bruce surmises that he'll keep falling until he reaches the center of the earth.
• Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker has Bonk and the Joker himself. Upon the Joker's revival, the Jokerz gang are initially thrilled to see their idol and relinquish leadership of the gang to him. However, rather than become an effective Evil Mentor to these youth, all he ever seems to do is berate them for not doing things as he would. Eventually Bonk has had enough and essentially declares that the Joker has them running around aimlessly grabbing everything but cash, doesn't seem to have a real plan, and keeps telling them that they're doing things wrong. His rant ends with him saying that he wants out. The Joker responds by drawing a gun. Bonk smiles nervously and says he was only joking. The Joker pulls the trigger revealing a flag that says "bang" and says he was joking as well. Everyone laughs, only for the flag to be fired out of the gun and into Bonk's Body. He dies instantly. Ironically, Joker dies the same way during the film, at the hands of Tim Drake. Whom he kidnapped and tortured.
• One episode of Beavis And Butthead has the duo discover "Harry Sachz" in the phone book, and mercilessly prank call him non-stop over the course of a month to the point he snaps and buys caller ID to track them down. To make a long story short, he ends up going to Stuart's house, first attacking Stuart, and then savagely beats up Stuart's dad when he spots the man using the phone. You would feel bad for Stuart's dad... except the entire time he keeps trying to save himself by begging the guy to go after his son instead.
  Stuart's Dad: This is between you and Stuart! Get him!!!
• In Ben 10: Alien Force, Kevin averts Save the Villain by leaving his nemesis Ragnarok to fall in the Sun. Considering the guy was an Omnicidal Maniac who killed his father in cold blood and attempted to destroy Earth's sun for the sake of selling its energy, it's hard to blame Kevin for this act.
• Blood of Zeus shows that Heron and his mother have been mistreated and marginalized by the villagers for years. It is especially cruel towards Heron, because he was still a small child when they came to the village. Later, most of the villagers are killed by Seraphim and his demons.
• Considering the kind of world it is, Castlevania (2017) is full of them.
  • The bishop who killed Lisa is a powerhungry fanatic who murdered an innocent woman and tried to do the same to at least one group of nomads for no reason beyond religious bias, so no one shed a tear when he was eaten by a demon.
  • Godbrand may be a bit of a doofus, but he's still a vampire who savagely murders people to drink their blood. So no one really complained when Isaac offed him.
  • Prior Sala was another religious fanatic who worshipped Dracula and who willingly collaborated with a demon who consumed the souls of an entire town.
  • The Judge, who pulls off a Mutual Kill with Prior Sala, turns out to have been a Serial Killer whose victims included children.
  • On his way to Styria, Isaac kills a mage who had Mind Raped and enslaved a large number of people to build the city of his dreams, in order to take his mirror portal and build his army of Night Creatures.
• Whenever Eustace gets killed or something horrific happens to him in Courage the Cowardly Dog (which tends to happen a lot) he qualifies; often he's the one who gets himself, Muriel, and Courage into whatever mess that kills him in the first place.
  • And there are even more extreme (but less frequent) examples in the series. Like: the Veterinarian who gets one of the most poetic and epic deaths at the hands and jaws of all the dogs he exiled into space. Di Lung who is even an bigger jerk than Eustace and fittingly often appears just to demean others and suffer something unpleasant and Velvet Vick who got trapped by Shirley for his ruthless character into a disc, which becomes clear once he tried to put Muriel in his place.
  • Probably the nastiest of the bunch was The Great Fusilli from the episode of the same name. Fusilli would lure people onto his stage, pretending he would make them famous actors. He would then transform them into puppets with enchanted puppet strings, in order to play with for his own amusement. No one will be upset by him being transformed by his own puppet strings.
• Often in Dan Vs.. Sometimes, even if Dan's motive for revenge is petty, the victim will turn out to deserve it: for example, in "Wild West Town," Dan is just upset that the titular tourist attraction wasn't very fun, but the owner turns out to be screwing his employees out of money.
• Darkwing Duck has Doctors Gary and Larson killed by Bushroot, who covers them with plants. The few times there were seen before they had to leave, they were portrayed as a duo of Jerkasses who bullied Bushroot before he got his powers, mocked his interest in plants, criticized his work for focusing on improving quality instead of lucrative value and sabotaged his work, in front of their joint boss, for the sole sake of making him look miserable. Oh, and they mocked him when he started mutating under the effect of his experiment. No one is going to blame Bushroot for killing them. Even Rhoda doesn't bring it up later.
• DC Showcase: Jonah Hex is kicked off by the death of Red Doc. While we don't know why Jonah Hex is after him, we do see why he would have a bounty, considering he shoots a dog for just barking at him. He also openly brags once he enters a bar and flat-out tells the bartender to his face that he doesn't like him.
• A group of robbers in DOTA: Dragon's Blood want to kill Davion, who is traveling alone. What they don't know is that he can turn into a humanoid dragon. And so he effortlessly kills one robber after another.
• The Dragon Prince:
  • Prince Kasef is immature and bloodthirsty, desperately wants to start a war with the elves, threatened Ezran, who had just become king, that they would attack his kingdom if he did not support them in the war,tried to murder Callum, and still won't eat his vegetables. Yeah, his death's a real tear-jerker.
  • The Sunfire Queen is arrogant, hates humans and has a penchant for torture. She deliberately puts humans in a dark-magic detecting test that kills them if they fail. Eventually, Aaravos kills her after invading her city and corrupting the Sunforge, leaving Lux Aurea in ruins. Lots of black-and-white morality here.
• Family Guy:
  • Jeff Fecalman, Quagmire's sister's extremely abusive boyfriend from the episode "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q."
  • For some, Diane Simmons from "And Then There Were Fewer" as well. She murdered 5 people (1 on purpose, the others by mistake or to cover up her crime), because James Woods dumped her and Tom Tucker was lobbying the network to replace her with a younger newsanchor.
  • One episode has Peter and his friends accidently kill the hook-handed war veteran custodian of the local abandoned asylum after he scared them during a session of working on a horror screen play. They spend the episode going out of their mind with paranoia of being discovered and almost turn on each other, but at the end of the episode, it's revealed by a newspaper headline that the man was actually a local KKK leader and graverobber who stole war medals.
  • In the episode "Chitty Chitty Death Bang", Stewie is paranoid about "the man in white" (the doctor who delivered him) shoving him back into Lois' womb. The man he ends up killing to prevent this is the leader of a cult that Meg almost drank poisoned punch from.
• Justin Hammer in Iron Man: Armored Adventures; the guy is a Psychopathic Manchild, leads at the same time a weapon-selling company and a criminal empire, genuinely attempted to kill Iron Man (he actually feels disappointment when at one point he destroys the armor and sees no blood splattering everywhere) and is an especially Bad Boss. His other Kick the Dog moments include trying to bring back to life Living Laser, who had gone through Redemption Equals Death, for the sake of turning him into a weapon he could mass-produce, causing Obadiah Stane to end up in a coma and manipulating Iron Man 2099 to ensure a future where millions of people would die but where he would be president. Comes episode Hammer Falls, that makes him go through an especially spectacular Villainous Breakdown before his final defeat, he acts even worse by developing a zombifying gas, which he is willing to use to cause a Zombie Apocalypse on Manhattan rather than lose his company. You really don't feel sorry for him when Mr Fix gasses him with his own invention.
• Invader Zim had the "slaughtering rat people", a race of primitive savages that horrified even the Irken, who soon turned their planet into a parking lot.
• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous:
  • In Season 1, Eddie selfishly ditches the kids to save his own hide only to be eaten alive by the Indominus rex.
  • In Season 2, Mitch and Tiff try to hunt and kill dinosaurs as trophies, even willing to harm the kids for getting in their way. Mitch gets ensnared by his own trap and devoured by Rexy, though his death is a little pitiful due to the circumstances from it. Tiff gets devoured by Chaos and Limbo when the latter two jump on her boat in revenge for killing their sister Grim.
  • Pretty much everyone who died in Season 5 deserves it in some way. Namely Mantah Corp's investors, Kash, Molina, Hawkes, and the rest of Daniel Kon's mercenaries.
• Harley Quinn undergoes such an extreme case of Adaptational Villainy in "Twisted", the first of three preview web-episodes for Justice League: Gods and Monsters, becoming a psychopathic Serial Killer who butchers and mutilates people, that the audience actually feels better when it turns out that Batman in this world is a vampire, and he drinks her dry rather than capturing her once she surrenders.
• Kaeloo: It's usually very hard to feel sorry for Mr. Cat when something bad happens to him (which is quite often).
• King of the Hill
  • The episode "Propane Boom" really showcases Buckley's Jerkass personality. Luanne needs $300 to continue her tuition and Buckley has $400 but he's saving it for a new trampoline (even though the one he has now is good). He also acts like a Bad Boss to Hank while he works under him and when Luanne breaks up with him, he just keeps making jokes at her expense. But guess who ends up getting killed by his own incompetence for ignoring Hank's warning about not dragging propane tanks by the valve.
  • Buck Strickland's mistress Debbie Grund ends up on the end of this, considering not only as she slept with a married man, but later tried to seduce Hank, lie about an affair with him to Peggy after Hank rejected her, and was plotting to kill Buck for deciding to go back to his wife when she was fatally shot — by stepping on the shotgun she intended to use as the murder weapon.
  • When Luanne gets her own place with some roommates, they are all generally big pieces of shit. The worst by far is Griffin, who treats her terribly, eats her food, refuses to do his share of the chores, and repeatedly calls her a Nazi any time she asks even a reasonable request of him. He almost gets away with this, until he makes the mistake of calling Topsy and Cotton Nazis. He presumably gets the crap kicked out of him by the two old men for it, with them saying he's going to learn what Cotton did to Nazis in World War II.
    Cotton: WHO'RE YOU CALLIN' A NAZZI?!"
  • Most of the other husky models in "Husky Bobby" probably did nothing to deserve being pelted by donuts. Not so with Andy Maynard though, as he needed to be knocked down a peg or two.
• The unnamed dog antagonist of the Looney Tunes short "Chow Hound". After ruthlessly exploiting and violently bullying a cat and mouse into stealing food solely for him and helping him run a money laundering scheme, he ends up blowing his dough at a deli and overeats so much meat there that he's reduced to an immobile blob of fat. The Cat and Mouse then give the dog his just desserts by force feeding the already overstuffed hound a huge jug of gravy, which is implied to kill him offscreen.
• Numerous akumas in Miraculous Ladybug often prioritize going after whoever wronged them over following Hawk Moth's orders, so if a jerk deliberately screwed them over in some form, then that jerk becomes this trope. Examples include Bob Roth (targeted by Silencer after plagiarizing his band and threatening his crush) and Chloé Bourgeois (targeted by Kung Food after she sabotaged his entry in a cooking competition — and that's just one of numerous examples involving her).
• In the Moral Orel episode "Dumb," resident bully Joe Secondopinionson finds out that his Missing Mom (Nurse Bendy) is actually alive, contradicting Joe's father's claims that she died in childbirth. Joe's ensuing No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of his elderly, Alzheimer's-stricken father would seem horrific...and then you remember the implications that Dr. Secondopinionson impregnated Joe's mother (who has since had a history of being taken advantage of sexually) when she was just thirteen, and it suddenly feels a lot more well-deserved.
• Mr. Pickles only kills people that really deserve it.
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
  • Anytime the citizens of Ponyville have become bigger jerks, they'll often get what's coming:
    • During "Putting Your Hoof Down", most of Ponyville seems to have been transplanted with jerks who repeatedly hassle and mistreat Fluttershy, just so her eventual flip out and getting back at them seems more justified.
    • In "Magic Duel" when Trixie takes over Ponyville as part of her revenge, as Ponyville residents were the ones bullying Trixie and vandalizing her cart after the events of "Boast Busters", it makes you wonder if Ponyville really is just populated by a bunch of colossal jerks...
  • Every now and then, Rainbow Dash can fall into this category when she's the episode's antagonist and the mane five are concocting a revenge scheme to get back at her. "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" and "28 Pranks Later" are extreme examples of this, but there's also "May the Best Pet Win" where she runs a competition like bootcamp, and is rewarded for her lack of concern by getting her wing stuck under a rock. She snaps out of this by the end of the episode.
  • Lightning Dust, leader of the Washouts at the end of eponymous episode. To elaborate, she wanted to use Scootaloo's increase distrust of Rainbow Dash as a revenge plot (for Rainbow and Spitfire costing her, her dreams) against her. How does she go about doing this? Forcing Scoots to do a life threatening stunt in the guise of a show. Let's just say, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who felt for Dust when the stunt backfired on her and sent her flying Team Rocket Style.
  • Verko, the naked mole rat crime boss of Klugetown in the movie happens to become this. He shows up at one point to buy the Mane Six and Spike off Capper's paws, only for Tempest Shadow, the Storm King's lieutenant to show up. Verko distracts her by gushing over how cute she is and asking what tricks she knows. Tempest, of course, responds by electrocuting him. Given how he was going to buy the main characters, it's hard to muster up sympathy for him
• The Powerpuff Girls (1998): Dick Hardly gets killed by his creations, the Powerpuff Girls Extreme along with his factory exploding. It's impossible to feel bad for him, considering how much of a colossal, greedy, self-serving Jerkass he had been up until that point and was more than willing to kill the real Powerpuff Girls to get money.
• Primal (2019): Queen Ima, the ruler of the Egyptians, is thrown to her death by the warrior Kamau. Given that she enslaved and annihilated various cultures, and has no qualms with threatening children, it's a safe bet that nobody will be rushing to mourn her.
• Regular Show: Rigby in "It's Time", when he gets accidentally killed by Mordecai when the latter impulsively shoved him off the microwave that was going through a space vortex. Up until that point, however, Rigby had been spitefully asking Mordecai's crush Margaret out on a date and tormenting Mordecai about it for hours all because he wouldn't admit he was jealous, and shoved Mordecai first as they were arguing in the vortex. He is resuscitated, though, via Reset Button.
• The Secret Squirrel segment of 2 Stupid Dogs had one episode where the titular villain was a gloating race car driver named Hot Rodney. He attempted to prevent Secret Squirrel from winning their race by kidnapping Morocco Mole and having him tied up somewhere far from the racing track with a dynamite belt strapped to him. He even gloats about his victory being assured by Secret's unwillingness to let his friend die. While Hot Rodney ends up winning the race in spite of Secret's efforts, Secret does manage to trick him into wearing the same dynamite belt he had strapped to Morocco, resulting in the boastful jackass exploding as he drives off into the distance.
• The Simpsons:
  • Mr. Burns would potentially have been this had he not survived the events of "Who Shot Mr. Burns". (That was the whole idea of the Cliffhanger; practically everyone in Springfield wanted to kill him, and in many cases, few would have blamed them, due to Burns' unusually extensive asshole behavior lately.) However, not only did he survive, but the shooting was also an accident (maybe, the ending leaves it ambiguous) making it a Subversion twice-over.
  • Homer himself gets this when he suffers the same thing he does to his son in "Barting Over" and "Love is a Many Strangled Thing".
• Clyde's mother on South Park, Betsy Donovan in "Reverse Cowgirl", to the point she's still one beyond the grave; she has her Single-Issue Wonk button pressed multiple times by her son, Clyde, whenever he leaves the toilet seat up. She eventually falls into the toilet and gets stuck from the pressure, to which she then dies when the change in pressure rips her insides out. Betsy then comes back from the dead as a ghost and belittles her son for leaving the seat up, saying it's his fault that she died. Is it any wonder why Clyde, at the end of the episode, leaves it up on purpose and flips off his dead mother?
• SpongeBob SquarePants: The episode "Pizza Delivery " has an Unsatisfiable Customer who berates the incredibly hard-working SpongeBob who went through hell simply to give the guy his pizza simply because the pizza didn't come with a drink that they guy didn't even order. It's enough to send SpongeBob on the verge of tears. Safe to say, when Squidward forcefully shoves the pizza down the man's throat, it's quite satisfying.
• In one episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the ensigns have to help a Collector of the Strange named Siggi deal with a dead Collector's possessions. Siggi insults the dead man, is rude to the crew, and racist to Tendi, derisvely calling her "Orion" and attempts to pin his own theft on her when it triggers a collection of booby traps. Consequently, they aren't exactly sorrowful when he's crushed under a giant skeleton during their escape.
• Star Wars: The Clone Wars:
  • Gha Nachkt is a portly greedy sleazeball of a Trandoshan who makes his living scavenging wreckage from the space battlegrounds of the Clone Wars, and then selling it to whoever's willing to pay the most for it, including the opposing side of whatever faction the wreckage originally belonged to. Not only did he capture R2-D2 but he also dissects the poor little droid and planned to sell him to General Grevious. When he demanded the general to pay him more, Grevious "rewarded" him with a lightsaber to the back. No tears were shed, and it was probably one of the very few times that fans openly applauded Grevious.
  • R3-S6. Considering that he was a spy for the Separatist and tried to get Anakin killed on more than one occasion, nobody mourns for this droid's death and Grievous doesn't bother to rescue him from the collapsing listening post.
  • Argyus, who betrayed the Republic by killing His fellow guards and aiding Vicroy Gunray's escape, is rewarded for his treachery with a lightsaber strike from behind, courtesy of Ventress.
  • Jedi General Pong Krell does a good job establishing himself as a jerkass and a General Failure whose ill-thought battle tactics get numerous clones killed unnecessarily — but the real kicker is when he tricks the 501^st and the 212^th into attacking each other as part of his plan to undermine the Republic. Once the clones realize what's going on, they subdue and then kill him, and it's safe to say that nobody mourns his death.
  • Ziro the Hutt. A Dirty Coward who never take accountabilty for his mistakes and is a collosal slimeball who is greatly disliked even by most of the other Hutts. He worked with Count Dooku to tried to have his nephew Jabba and Jabba's son Rotta "removed", so he could take over Jabba's "businesses" and position. He later threatened to leak sensitive information on the entire Hutt Council that could incriminate all of them. With the possible exception of his mother, nobody really liked him enough to care about his death at Sy Snootle's hands (An old flame of his who he abandoned years prior). Not even Obi-Wan Kenobi cares enough to look into his death any further, in favor of trying to capture Cad Bane instead.
  • During their raid on a Zygerrian slave camp, Anakin slaughters any guards who get in his way, Obi-Wan effectively lets Rex murder the camp's overseer in cold blood, and Plo Koon finally destroys the place with a Republic air strike that kills any of the remaining Zygerrians inside. Given that the Zygerrians built their entire society off the enslavement and torture of sapient beings, literally no tears are shed for them.
  • The Nightsisters are a culture of vicious misandrists who feel free to abuse, brainwash, and even kill the male Nightbrothers whenever they please. Because of that, many fans rooted for Grievous and his Separatist droid army as they mercilessly slaughtered them.
  • Let's face it, when droid general Kalani shot Sanjay Rash dead, you couldn't help but smirk a little.
  • Admiral Trench. He is exposed to Anakin's darker side before being killed by him. However, Trench was also planning to destroy Anaxes to guarantee a Separatist victory, leaving little sympathy towards his death.
• Thomas & Friends: The Spiteful Brake Van ends up getting accidentally crushed by Douglas while trying to assist James up Gordon's Hill. Since he was a tremendous Jerkass who deliberately caused trouble for other trains and continued his old behavior with Douglas after Donald tried to set him straight, his fate is well-warranted.
• Starscream in 80's animated film The Transformers: The Movie. He'd always been The Starscream Trope Namer to Megatron. When Megatron was kicked by Optimus and fell on the floor, Starscream mocked and kicked him. Later on he left his leader to die in outer space. Unicron saves Megs and turns him into Galvatron. The first thing Galvatron does when he arrives to Cybertron? He kills Starscream. Probably the only time when the audience praised Galvatron's action.
• Trese
  • Nova is killed by a swarm of tiyanak as revenge for her killing her tiyanak child again. Because she is a shallow and murderous bitch who cares more about figure and career over her child, no one feels sorry for her.
