Corrupt Corporate Executive: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 411:
** Roger Meyers Jr - the CEO of Itchy and Scratchy Studios - is a jaded and selfish businessman who has nothing but contempt for the children who comprise his audience. While not the blatant plagiarist his father was, he still eagerly profited from a stolen manuscript and likely violates several building and zoning laws in his numerous promotions, like [[No OSHA Compliance|Itchy and Scratchy Land]].
* Some episodes of ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' suggest that [[Big Bad|Dr. Claw]] is a shadow owner of some corporations, using them as fronts for smuggling rings. One notable example was when his scheme involved using technology to prevent cows from giving milk so he could sell his own dairy products at inflated prices. Clearly an illegally-run monopoly; he was bold enough to even put the MAD insignia on the milk cartons.
* Elves are portrayed this way in ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', having tricked the dwarves into growing mushrooms for a living so they could take the far-more profitable cookie business for themselves. Eventually, the two reconcile and become business partners, but the elves still get 60% of the take.
* The Crimson Guard twins Tomax and Xamot are this in ''[[G.I. Joe]]; the CEOs of Extensive Enterprises, they provide much of COBRA's funding.
* Mr. Krabs from ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' is a somewhat more lovable example.
