Line 157:
* On ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', C. Montgomery "Monty" Burns (Homer's boss) is the closest the series has to an overall [[Big Bad]]. A [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] and greedy plutocrat who treats his employees like garbage<ref>Usually, he ''can'' be a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] when the plot calls for it</ref>, his evil deeds would take far too long to list given the longevity of the series, but among those that stand out: blocking out the sun, obsessively pursuing Homer's mother for wrecking his research on biological warfare, building weapons for the Nazis (claiming he was better than Shindler because "mine worked, dammit!") and trying to murder Grandpa in order to win a [[Tontine]] contract.
** Of course, it's clear where he gets it from, as his grandfather Wainwright (whose first recorded crime was taking Monty away from his loving parents) was even worse in all regards, possibly influencing Monty as an [[Evil Mentor]].
* While nobody in ''[[Family Guy]]'' can truly be called "good", Peter's father-in-law Carter Pewterschmidt is in a class by himself. A greedy billionaire and [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] who hates everyone, including Peter (often ''especially'' Peter) the worst thing he's done is, without a doubt, refuse to release a cure for cancer on the market because existing treatments are more profitable. He also once tried to feed an attorney presenting him with a summons to a Rancor (due to Carner's bad luck, said attorney had Jedi training), and tries to shut down Rhode Island's state government in order to hide the fact that his factories are violating environmental regulations. He bribed his wife into marrying (is not a faithful spouse) and tried to bribe Peter into not marrying Lois. It is not unexpected that in the [[May the Farce Be with You|Star Wars parody]] he took the role of Emperor Palpatine.
