* [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3328480/Otto-the-octopus-wrecks-havoc.html Meet Otto the octopus,]] who will do anything for attention--or, perhaps, out of sheer boredom--from dousing the lights to juggling the hermit crabs in his tank to ''throwing stones against the tank wall''. When you spend your entire life in an aquarium, you have to make up your own amusement. The staff is considering a purchase of octopus toys to keep him busy.
* Thomas Griffiths Wainewright's reasoning for poisoning his third (known) victim, sister-in-law Helen Abercrombie.
-->"She had very thick ankles."
* Mary Bale's explanation for why she decided to drop a cat in a garbage bin.
* Italian professional football/soccer player [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1380336/Mario-Balotelli-notches-100k-parking-fines.html Mario Balotelli]], formerly of Manchester City and Liverpool, lives his life this way. From racking up tens of thousands of pounds in parking tickets to going to a kids' school to stop bullying, paying off random student loans, wandering around a women's prison because he wanted a look around, and driving around with obscene amounts of cash on his front seat. Why? To quote the man himself when the police asked him that exact question, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney "Because I can"]]. It is because of this that the footballing world generally regards him as a viable source of entertainment.
* During all the drama that surrounded Lebron James going to play for Miami, Chris Bosh's explanation for not doing the same with any more tact? [[http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Chris-Bosh-I-played-with-people-s-emotions-du?urn=nba-262662 "It's entertaining to see people react to your real emotions, because if it wasn't fun I wouldn't do it."]]
* The entire schtick of the ''Series/{{Jackass}}'' boys.
-->'''Ryan Dunn:''' ''[explaining to Bam Magera's mom why he stabbed Bam in the ass with a hot iron brand in the shape of a dick]'' Because it was funny.
* Creator/HunterSThompson's entire life.
-->"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
* Creator/WarrenEllis [[http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=7227 invoked this word for word in regards to]] ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeResolute''[='=]s GenderFlip of Dial Tone, as he'd given a random technician so many lines that Creator/{{Hasbro}} insisted that she be a named Joe, they gave Ellis a list of names, and that's the one he picked.
* Chile pepper breeder Ed Currie, the creator of the Carolina Reaper, claims he bred the world's hottest pepper just to see if he could. And also because decades of substance abuse had deadened his sense of taste to such a degree that he needed something ''insanely hot'' to get a buzz. And he claims he's ''still not done'' breeding even hotter peppers.
* Scambaiters get a kick out of posing as prospective victims when responding to FourOneNineScam emails, with intent to set scammers off and waste as much of their time as possible, robbing them of opportunities to pursue and swindle real victims. If the scambaiter is also a sufficiently skilled IT technician, they can and will bring down entire scam networks just because it is funny to PayEvilUntoEvil.
* Brenda Spencer, the culprit of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego) Cleveland Elementary School shooting]] in San Diego in 1979, was called by a reporter at her home after the shooting, who asked her why she did it. Her answer: "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." Bob Geldof of the Boomtown Rats, who was doing an interview at an Atlanta radio station when the news came in, was so disturbed by the senselessness of the shooting that he wrote the song "I Don't Like Mondays" about it.
* "Smurfing" is a practice on ranked online games where an experienced player makes a new account. While this might be done for a few different reasons, it isn't uncommon for said player to use this new account to bully inexperienced newcomers just for the fun of it.
* During the Battle of the Philippine Sea, armed American bomber aircraft would be sent into the air to clear the flight decks ahead of Japanese air attacks to prevent a [[MadeOfExplodium situation similar to what happened to the Japanese carriers at Midway]]. Several squadron commanders would, of their own initiative, lead bombing raids on the Japanese airfields of Guam. Upon hearing of this, their superiors would direct the rest of the orbiting aircraft to launch follow-up raids.

* The ''Fate'' setting "Court:SHIP", about an AlienInvasion during the reign of Louis XV of France, characterises the alien Growth as being fundamentally hedonists who seeded life on various planets because it allowed them to enjoy their various flesh-eating amusements [[PragmaticVillainy without holding back their "core" species in the way that eating each other did]]. The sourcebook explicitly states that they've invented a synthetic meat that obviates the ''need'' to consume the flesh of others, but they find scooping out the delicious guts of a human and wearing their skin to be infinitely more entertaining.
