* [[Mega Corp|Majestic]], from ''[[Destroy All Humans!]]''. What does it say in a game with a name like ''that'' when the genocidal alien looks more competent and more ethical than his human foes? Majestic is a large international organization dedicated to defeating the Furons, while secretly plotting their own goals of [[Take Over the World| world domination.]] Thing is, the Furon invasionary force consists of… [[Easy Logistics| one guy, the protagonist, Crypto]]. For all their highly-trained agents and cutting edge technology, Majestic - A [[Non-Indicative Name]] if there ever was one - can’t capture or defeat this one alien. Seriously. |

* Zsasz is a villain who appears in ''every'' game in the ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'' series, and he's lame in ''all'' of them. He has no motivation whatsoever (other than kill anyone he comes across) and is almost laughably easy to defeat. If his "plan" involves hiding from Batman, there will be about a hundred ways the player can spot him, and if it involves combat, he'll be floored in one punch. Even compared to most [[Jobber]] opponents in video games, he's pathetic. |

* Rick the Door Technician from ''[[Star Wars Jedi: Survivor]]''. When you enter the Imperial Base on Koboh, you will come across a figure that ''appears'' to be a boss, with a boss's health bar. But he's just a Scout Trooper with Scout Trooper attributes, and the game identifies him as "Rick the Door Technician". He'll charge madly at you and attack, but will do barely any damage. And you can drop him with a single swipe of your lightsaber. Rick has become so beloved that fans have made jokes, memes, videos and even [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fi-made-a-poster-for-the-best-boss-in-the-game-v0-dgp7mrrm9mza1.jpg%3Fs%3D8d00fd841cf08cfb835143366c5f59888a9d5e63 posters] celebrating him. |
