Line 34:
* Even before he became a [[Complete Monster]], {{spoiler|Griffith}} of ''[[Berserk]]'' was ''not'' a nice guy. A good example of this is how he treats Princess Charlotte, who's genuinely in love with him, as a [[Meal Ticket]] while still pretending to be in love with her.
** The only person he was remotely honest with was Guts. He has a catastrophic breakdown when Guts leaves the Hawks due to wanting to stand on even ground with him and feeling that he was unable to as his subordinate.
* Kyouko Mogami of ''[[Skip Beat!]]'' initially followed her childhood friend Shou to Tokyo to help him to get into a music career. Although Shou didn't help her at all and even mistreated her, Kyouko still believed that all her efforts (doing several part-time jobs, paying for his training, being his de-facto unpaid maid) would be eventually repaid with love and gratitude. (Not to mention, Sho's parents were considering to make her the heiress of the family business instead of Sho.) Until she learns, from the mouth of Shou himself, that he has no feelings towards her, and the only reason he asked her to come with him was because he knew she would act as his personal maid for nothing. So she snaps, decides tnot to take it anymore, and makes the resolve to get revenge on him by trying to become as famous as him.
* Otome's "friends" Natsumi, Minami and Kumi do this to her in ''[[School Days]]''. Otome is betrayed by them twice: they first {{spoiler|videotape her having sex with Makoto, the guy she likes, and show the tape ''to the whole school''}}, and then {{spoiler|they have sex with him behind her back.}} And they do this '''for no reason at all.'''
* Uzuki to Yuki in ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]''. As he himself tells Yuki in episode 2 "You're a nuisance. I hate your goody two-shoes, know-it-all act. I'm not your friend. I felt bad for you, so I thought I'd try being nice, but you misunderstood. ''No one needs you.''" But its refreshingly subverted when its revealed Uzuki was just deeply hurting from being abandoned by his parents and lashed out at others. He and Yuki become friends again after Yuki gets rid of the demon that was possessing Uzuki and feeding on his negative emotions.
Line 75:
* ''[[The 39 Clues]]'': [[Handsome Devil|Ian Kabra]] pretended to like [[Smart Girl|Amy]] so he and his sister could steal the clue from right under [[Brother-Sister Team|Amy and Dan's]] noses.... Only... [[In Love with the Mark|it isn't]] [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo|quite that simple]].
* In ''[[The Traitor Game]]'', [[Friendless Background|Micheal]] comes to believe that [[Cool Loser|Francis]] has spent their entire friendship laughing about their games with his friends. The consequences are nothing short of disastrous.
* The fox and the cat in ''[[The Adventures of Pinocchio]]'', upon discovering Pinocchio has several gold pieces, proceed to mooch off of him, try to rob and hang him, and later swindle him, all while pretending to be his friends. {{spoiler|Unlike the Disney version, however, they do get their comeuppance in the end, and when they beg for Pinocchio to help them, [[
Line 120:
** {{spoiler|Subverted ''and'' played straight, however, as The Boss was really a [[Fake Defector]] sent in by the U.S. government to play the False Friend to [[Big Bad]] Colonel Volgin.}}
* In [[Uncharted 2]], Harry Flynn did this to Nathan Drake at the end of the Museum mission, causing poor Drake to rot in prison for 3 months.
* ''[[Magical Diary: Horse Hall]]'': {{spoiler|Damien.}} That ''bastard''.
** If you get his good ending, it turns into [[Becoming the Mask]] .... maybe. If you believe ''anything'' he says by that point!
*** If you've ground White magic enough to have gotten the spell Empathy, you can use it on him when you next talk to him. {{spoiler|He's telling the truth about how he feels now.}}
Line 145:
** And Blackfire, Starfire's sister, who pretended to care for her sister while framing her for the crimes she committed so Starfire would get taken to jail instead. Starfire eventually finds out the truth and engages her in battle which leads to Blackfire rightfully getting captured by the police.
* Plankton in ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'''s "F.U.N." episode.
* In ''[[Hercules (
* Gothel in ''[[Tangled]]'' tried to make Rapunzel believe that Flynn was this, that he was only after the crown and never caring for her. She nearly succeeded, until {{spoiler|Rapunzel remembered her true heritage and realized that Gothel had kidnapped her and Flynn was going to be executed}}.
