Is there anything more adorable and innocent than a Girl Scout? Definitely yes, if you ask some people (especially in the [[Web Comic]] community). For some reason, they often end up depicted as [[Enfant Terrible|vile monsters who use]] [[Deliberately Cute Child|deceptive cuteness and innocence]] to guilt-trip adults into buying a product they neither want nor need (viz., Girl Scout cookies) at greatly inflated prices. And if ''that'' doesn't work, they've got other weapons they can resort to...

Line 41:

* In an episode of ''[[Sister Sister]]'', Lisa and Ray have a bet that Ray can't make $20 last an entire week. As soon as Lisa takes Ray's wallet, credit cards, etc, there's a knock at the door. Ray opens to a typical sugar-coated Girl Scout, and 'attempts' to say "No thank you," and closes the door. Cue the furious pounding on the door and the little girl threatening poor Ray. She nearly runs off with the whole $20.

* In one episode of ''[[Murphy Brown]]'', Murphy mentions how she's never trusted Girl Scouts because they "wear paramilitary uniforms while reciting oaths and starting fires."

Line 48:

* An episode of [[The Man Show]] had a segment with a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhlXgXYNr9c rude girl scout.]

* [[The Golden Girls]] had an episode that featured a sweet-faced "Sunshine Cadet," Daisy (played by a young [[Rilo Kiley|Jenny Lewis]]), who would kidnap Rose's teddy bear and [[Finger in ~~The~~ Mail|mail back an ear when a ransom isn't paid]].

* In an episode of ''[[Reno 911|Reno 911!]]'', two of the officers are about to walk up to a house to sell candy bars for a fundraiser. Down the sidewalk from them is a girl scout holding a box of cookies. After locking eyes, the cops race to the front door and gloat at beating the girl scout to the doorstep. She replies by whipping out [[Guns Akimbo|two handguns]] and ''shooting at them''.

* ''[[~~I Carly~~]]'': In ''iOwe You'', the [[Alpha Bitch|mean teenage]] Sunshine Girls who are rivalling Spencer for their selling spot at the supermarket. Subverted with the incredibly-shy and [[Moe]] girl Emily who is the daughter of the hot mother Spencer is helping.

== Video Games ==

* Also appeared - in a way - in ''[[~~Psychonauts (Video Game)|~~Psychonauts]]'', during the '[[Milkman Conspiracy|Milkman]]' mindscape, where the Girl Scouts, called "Rainbow Squirts", basically turn out to be the [[Ancient Conspiracy]], and the final boss of the level is The Denmother.

* In ''[[City of Villains]]'' (ruled with an iron fist by Lord Recluse and his army of spider-themed [[Faceless Goons]]), one [[Mad Scientist]] contact makes an offhand reference to having bought cookies from the "spiderling-scout" daughter of one of his co-workers.

* There's a skin mod for ''[[~~Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|~~Team Fortress 2]]'' to replace the Scout with his apparently existent [[Department of Redundancy Department|female sister]], effectively named [[Incredibly Lame Pun|The Girl Scout]]. She doesn't have any audio clips yet, but based on her description, it's safe to assume she is a girl scout to some extent, and she does kill people.

* In [[Holiday Wars]], April Fools shapeshifts into the form of an evil girl scout. You can [http://www.holiday-wars.com/blog/2010/10/15/2010-hw-074/ check it out here]

* In the world of ''[[Dan and ~~Mabs~~ Furry Adventures]]'', Girl Scouts are basically a Random Encounter monster - and one which [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_211.php most sane adventurers seek to avoid at all costs] or [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_212.php this happens]. Though, arguably, this evil could be fairly recent. After all, when you've had to [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_822.php issue a restraining order against an entire race], you tend to change your sale tactics a bit.

* Popped up in at least one ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' strip, where they brought out the big guns - [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/3/16/ a red-nosed girl-scout with blond pigtails and crutches], who successfully forced even [[Jerkass]] Tycho into buying a pile of overpriced cookies. Though it's close enough to count for this, in truth, this was not a case of evil Girl Scouts. Rather, it was a case of Tycho not being evil ''enough'' to resist the cuteness (and cookies). (Gabriel, on the other hand, [[Alternate Character Interpretation|claimed the girls spent the money on drugs...]]

* In ''[[Return To Sender]]'', a monster diguises itself as a creepy Girl Scout. (Sequence begins [http://rts.lunistice.com/part2/2_9.html here].)

* Not real Girl Scouts in ''[[The ~~KA Mics~~]]'', but pygmies disguised as Girl Scouts to lull potential victims into a false sense of security until they attack, although it kind of backfired [http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/5298490/ in this comic].

Line 81:

* One episode of ''The [[League of Super Evil]]'' had Voltar butting heads with the cute-but-pushy Suzie Scouts when they tried to sell him cookies.

* In the ''[[Dilbert]]'' [[Animated Adaptation|Animated Series]], one of the opening stings is a girl scout-type who clearly put on the waterworks to yoink Dilbert out of his money, even as he himself pointed out that her parents are wealthy and he doesn't need the overpriced cookies.

* ''[[My Gym ~~Partners~~ a Monkey]]'' had a couple of girl scouts who threatened, and later mugged Jake and Adam for trying to sell chocolate covered bugs on their turf. One of them even had an [[Eyepatch of Power|eyepatch]]...

* Among the Scout [[Expy|expies]] in [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]? [[Enfant Terrible|Mandy.]] And the [[Grim Reaper]], but his evil is limited to selling worm-laden cookies (which everyone loved anyway), so [[Subverted Trope|subverted]].

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' sort-of subverts this: Doofenshmirtz feels incredibly awkward around the Fireside Girls and cannot say no to buying their treats, but apparently all they do is stand there and look cute. The girls are actually usually helpful sidekicks to the main characters, Phineas and Ferb (and as absurdly capable as the pair, able to fight alligators and fix time machines).

Line 95:

'''Chef's dad''': And she said to me "how would you like to buy some cookies?" and I said "well, what kind do you have?" and she had cinnamon, graham crunchy seeds, raisin oatmeal, and I said "we'll take a graham crunchy, how much will that be?" and she looked at me and she says "I need about [[Memetic Mutation|tree-fiddy]]." [[Fridge Logic|Well, it was about that time that I noticed this girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the paleozoic era!]] }}

* Cindy in [[The Boondocks]] episode "The Fundraiser" fits this trope. She acts like a foul-mouthed, ruthless drug dealer, beating rivals savagely and intimidating customers into buying her product... which just happens to be cookies.

* Laura Limpin AKA The Big Badolescent from ''[[Codename Kids Next Door]]'', who is a member of the Skunky Scouts.

* Laura Limpin AKA The Big Badolescent from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'', who is a member of the Skunky Scouts.

* This drives the plot of ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' episode "K-999 and Da Little Explorerz". Alfe [[Disguised in Drag|disguises himself as a girl scout]] so can get Nina's last badge for flag communication. When she gets the badge, it turns out that the scouts were actually planning an alien invasion, and the solverz have to stop them.

* Played with in ''The Baskervilles''. Since the show takes place in [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Underworld the Theme Park]], the "Ghoul Scouts" are [[Justified Trope|supposed to be menacing delinquents]]; but when April's mom takes over, she tries to run it like a regular Girl Scout troupe, and we get [[Inverted Trope|Ghoul Scouts Are Good]].

* An episode of ''[[Totally Spies]]'' where they developed extremely addictive cookies that cause people to become extremely fat. However it was actually the person running it that was the actual bad guy, as the girl scouts simply thought they were selling normal cookies.
