Line 46 ⟶ 41:
** James, Remus, Sirius, and Wormtail, in regards to Snape. Though Wormtail, being the [[Dirty Coward]] that he is, he only does so just so that he won't have his ass kicked, as well.
* ''[[Let the Right One In]]'' features a group of bullies who pick on the main character.
* [[Discworld]]'s Lord Downey is mentioned in ''[[Discworld/Night Watch (Discworld)|Night Watch]]'' as having one of these during his student days, although they themselves are also embarrasedembarrassed by the immaturity of his bullying tactics.
** Also the immaturity of his ''brain'', which he only ever engaged long enough to remember how to pronounce "scag". I think he was meant to be a parody of people who get into prestigious colleges solely on the merit of being legacy.
* Kalarus Brencis Minoris from the ''[[Codex Alera]]'' bears a striking resemblance to Draco Malfoy: a rich [[Smug Snake]] from a [[Blue Blood|prestigious family]] who wanders the local [[Extranormal Institute]] with his pair of big, dumb thugs, looking for [[Badass Normal|easy victims]].

* [[Joss Whedon]] seems to like this trope, as Kaylee of ''[[Firefly]]'' experiences some harassment at an upper-class party from a trio of female attendees.
* Harley, Frankie and Joey on ''[[Boy Meets World]]''. After Harley gets sent off to reform school Frankie and Joey get a new leader named Griff, although Griff was more of a [[High School Hustler]] than [[The Bully]] so the group's purpose changes. The group later disbands.
* Reina/Reika from ''[[Deep Love]]'' gets bullied by a gang of three girls who write on her textbooks and threw her desk out of the window in the second episode, telling her there was no place for her.
 
 
== Video Games ==
* Butch of ''[[Fallout 3]]'' bullies [[Hello, Insert Name Here|you]] with his friends throughout your childhood, though one quest can be solved making one of Butch’s cronies indignant from being told that he “does whatever Butch tells him to”.
 
 
== Web Original ==
* Since [[Super-Hero School]] Whateley Academy in the [[Whateley Universe]] is a high school, there are bullies. While some are solitary, Gold Stallion and his gang fit this trope precisely, as do the three [[Jerkass]] bullies who call themselves TNT.
