 * In Crazy Commentaries's LP of Super Mario 64, the penguins are this. They made the duo search for about 10 minutes to find the penguin that was right at the start of the level, launched the duo off a cliff for trying to throw them off, yelled at them for taking a shortcut, and pushing them off the edge of a racetrack at one particular turn where it is already really hard to get past it in the first place.

 * Survival of the Fittest. The Big Bad Danya, who, so far, has managed to avoid any serious repercussions for his crimes (although he was injured twice, and as of v3 seems rather proud of the scars) is definitely one of these.

 * Sarah Genatiempo of Lonely Girl 15/LG15TheResistance can be considered here. Not only was she  for the WHOLE DAMN TIME, she also   in the finale of the series to date, with no sign of comeuppance in sight,
 * Though there are quite a few fans who file the whole Resistance series under Fanon Discontinuity, given the sheer Ass Pull nature of the reveal.
