* ''Usedbooks'' features a villain named Raidon that fits this trope [http://www.curiousv.com/usedbooks/?p=371 PERFECTLY]. He is such a nice guy, you'd have a hard time thinking of him as a villain.
* Most of the villains in ''[[Antihero for Hire]]''. All of them seem to be some combination of [[Complete Monster]] and this trope, or [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] and this trope.
* Garland from ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'' fits squarely in this category; he'd just as soon hang up inspirational posters in his dungeon and bake cookies for his enemies as kill them. The one time he did build a death trap, he tried filling it with acid, but the Forest Imps who live around his castle switched it with Mountain Dew. (Forest Imps, incidentally, are the ''only'' creatures Garland will go ballistic over. No small wonder, since they tease him all the time and he [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend|can't convince anyone that they're messing with him]].) He has his moments though. The [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|best one]] being when his underlings decided to mutiny, and have a meeting about it. It ''appears'' that Garland, in true Laughably Evil fashion, is catering the meeting and made tacos just for the occasion. When the smarter minion calls him out on it, he casually breaks down the reasons why the mutiny will fail, and then reveals that the tacos were full of amnesia peppers. "In 10 minutes this meeting will have never happened." It could also be because he is incredibly thick and doesn't know how to be evil.
** Which makes you wonder, is he just not very good at evil, or is he [[Genre Savvy]] enough to realize that being a competent villain is typically a death sentence in an [[RPG Verse]]?
* ''[[Narbonic]]'' is ''built'' around this trope.
