** All in the presence of the rest of the cast, all female, who proceed to get freaking pissed, but everybody's crazy in this manga.

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'', Sagara Sousuke is a heroic commando soldier with [[No Social Skills]] due to his military upbringing. The anime's second season, ''Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu'', is a full-fledged high school romantic comedy rather than an action series, and Sousuke's behavior is accordingly escalated into a case of full-blown [[Comedic Sociopathy]] that brings him under the auspices of this trope by doing things like ''completely [[Break the Cutie|breaking]]'' his school's [[Nice Guy]] rugby team with [[The Spartan Way]], interpreting standing model for an art project '[[Comically Missing the Point|hide in a forest and booby-trap it to be on the safe side]]', scaring down some hostage-taking [[Delinquents]] by [[Such a Lovely Noun|threatening their friends and family members]], and opening fire on a light gun game using a real gun because the alternative -- [[Juggling Loaded Guns|pointing the light gun outside the screen]] -- [[Hypocritical Humor|'would be horribly unsafe']].

* Oga Tatsumi, the protagonist of ''[[Beelzebub]]''. He gleefully pounces onto any chance to inflict [[Amusing Injuries]] onto anyone in his way (well, anyone male anyway: Not that he [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]] but it's mostly men that pick fights with him) and is so nasty that the son of the devil, Baby Be'el, attached itself to him because he thought he was a demon. The first episode of the anime has him narrating a flashback of how he came across Baby Be'el [[Unreliable Voiceover|in an over-the-top sugary manner praising his own kindheartedness and virtue]] while the images on-screen shows him happily beating up punks and dipping [[Yakuza]] in the local river head-first just because he can.

* Adam Blade in ''[[NEEDLESS]]''; a foul-mouthed, perverted, borderline pedophile and extremely arrogant [[Cloudcuckoolander]] priest with an extremely rare and overpowered fragment. Adam could probably unite the Black Spot under his rule if he had chosen to, but considers it too much work. Just about all of the carnage he inflicts, both on his enemies and his erstwhile 'allies', is treated as light comedy unless he's fighting a particularly monstrous opponent.

* The "anti-walkthroughs" featured on [[IT-HE Software|it-he.org]] make the protagonists of the ''[[Ultima]]'' series, ''[[Thief]]'', ''[[Deus Ex]]'' and ''[[Elder Scrolls]]'' into these, partially for sake of [[Sequence Breaking]] and partially for the pure fun of [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]].

* Glorion from [[Journey Quest]]. Just imagine the page image with Belkar replaced by a [[Glory Seeker|glory seeking]] knight. "You killed every single orc to cross our path, and some that were nowhere near our path".

* [[Half Life|Gordon Freeman]], once you [[~~Freemans~~ Mind|listen to his thoughts]] during the whole Black Mesa Incident.

* [[Half Life|Gordon Freeman]], once you [[Freeman's Mind|listen to his thoughts]] during the whole Black Mesa Incident.

* [[Christian Brutal Sniper]]

* [[Shiny Objects Videos]]: It's kind of hard to determine if it's this or flat-out [[Villain Protagonist]], but the protagonists are pretty unfazed by the suffering of others. Particularly of [[The Woobie|Guido]].
