Line 382:
* ''[[Adventure Time]]'''s [[An Ice Person|Ice King]] plays this as a [[Deconstruction]] / [[Zig-Zagging Trope]]: he wants to force a [[Everything's Better with Princesses]] into [[And Now You Must Marry Me|marrying him]], but he comes across as sincerely lonely and desperate for love. At some points, however, he'll wind up saying or doing something ''really'' messed up, [[Double Subversion|cluing the viewer in that he's really just a sociopath]].
* Zordrak's minions, the Urpneys (and sometimes even his former self) of ''[[The Dreamstone]]'', are a mix of this alongside the [[Minion with an F In Evil]] category. The fact that their overall goal usually amounted to little more than [[Poke the Poodle|giving people scary dreams]] didn't help much. Granted since Rufus and Amberley are often [[The Meddling Kids Are Useless|Ineffectual Sympathetic Heroes]] they do at least briefly get the upper hand every now and then.
* [[Big Bad|General Specific]] from ''[[Sheep in the Big City]]''. To put it bluntly, how hard could it be to catch one sheep in a city where nobody likes sheep? Well, this guy spends the whole series trying and failing to do so.
