Line 408:
* While he survived, let's not forget J.R. Ewing from ''[[Dallas]]''.
** Similarly, Lionel Luthor from ''[[Smallville]]''. Of course, when he ''did'' die, this trope was averted.
* Subversion in one ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]''. The victim is an asshole to his four co-workers, all of whom were the only ones to have access to the room he died in. The audience is led to believe that a combination of two or more of the four are the ones who offed the [[Jerkass]] (all of whom are pretty jerkassy themselves). Turns out it was the janitor cleaning the vents, who killed the man when his hammer fell out of the pocket and through the grate. He didn't know the guy and removed the hammer because he didn't want to go back to jail.
** It happens many, many times in the ''
*** A clingy ex-wife who insisted on making life hell for her ex-husband and children. She tried to ''put a hit on herself'' to frame her ex-husband and when she couldn't do it, she ''tricked her own son'' into killing her for the same reason.
*** An egomaniac Paris Hilton-esque reality show star.
Line 592:
* The comment under [[Tabletop Games]] for "dungeons" applies to numerous video games as well. For example, in [[The Elder Scrolls]] series, if you see a small cavern complex, you can rest assured that at least nine times in ten it will be full of Necromancers of Conjurers or the undead or other perfectly acceptable targets you may ruthlessly cut down without a single ding to the [[Karma Meter]]. You can then with no guilt grab everything in the place and haul it back to the nearest marketplace. The remaining one time in ten you will speak with the inhabitants. Half the time, you will put them all to the sword because someone told you to, then take their stuff and sell it.
* When [[Big Bad|Regalla]] launches her attack on the Carja/Tenakth embassy in ''[[Horizon Forbidden West]]'', [[Smug Snake|whiny, pompous Sun Priest Vaudis]] and [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|beaurucratic hardass Nazar]] are among her rebels' victims. However, despite the trouble they caused Aloy their deaths are treated with the tragic horror that they deserve, and a friendly military officer sadly comments on how no one deserved to die the way they did, with a solemn Aloy silently agreeing.
* {{spoiler|Dr. Bumby}} in ''[[Alice: Madness Returns]]''. Yeah, what Alice does to him in the end is clearly murder, but it is doubtful many players would hold it against her.▼

Line 623 ⟶ 624:
** [[Complete Monster|Teppai Hojo]] is a [[They Killed Kenny]]-grade example. Gets his brains bashed in by Keiichi in the Curse Killing chapter, his head split in half by Rena (shortly after Rina's deatah) in the Atonement chapter, and killed by Keiichi, Rena, and Shion in the Exorcism chapter. Two of these are as [[Knight Templar Big Brother|punishment for exceptionally nasty child abuse against Satako]].
** Onryu Sonozaki in the Cotton Drifting and Eye Opening chapters by Shion.
