Line 43:
* The Prince of Dogra from ''[[Level E]]''. He's the kind of guy who <s>can</s> will ''buy a planet'' and hand out advanced military tech just to play a (potentially deadly) prank on five random grade-schoolers and his second-in-command. Because he thinks it's funny.
* {{spoiler|Ronnie Suchiart}} of ''[[Baccano]]'' cites this as the motivation for most of his actions. Very old and very powerful [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] tend to also get very ''bored''.
* Cell from ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' spiced up his [[For the Evulz]] with this. Fat Buu from the same combined it with his creator's [[For the Evulz]]. And, although he's mostly serious about being [[The Cape (trope)]] (with no cape), Son Goku himself plays the trope fairly straight (many times to his cost, such as when he [[Idiot Hero|prolonged the fight against Frieza after he turned Super Saiyan]], [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|allowing the latter to destroy Namek]] and to deploy his full power. This enabled Frieza to [[What the Hell, Hero?|waste more of Goku's then-precious time]] because he was momentarily capable to keep him in check, mostly with speed). Also, Gohan in Super Saiyan 2 form, against Cell, and others.
* ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'': {{spoiler|When he discovers he's actually part-[[Youkai]], and thus one of the most powerful beings to exist}}, Yusuke promptly tells [[A God Am I|everyone to "KNEEL BEFORE ME, YOU INSECTS!"]]... before he immediately [[Deadpan Snarker|wonders why anyone would do that]], and has a good laugh at [[Oh Crap|his friends' faces]].
* ''[[Saiyuki]]'' has numerous examples. Heaven is unchanging, and therefore said to be MINDNUMBINGLY DULL, which provides the motivation for the "merciful goddess" Kanzeon to do all sorts of things, from saddling her notoriously dull nephew with the heretic monkey-like Goku in Gaiden, just for the lolz, to forcing Sanzo and his party to take the physical road to India instead of the heavenly one, which would get there infinitely faster. She says the latter is cause they need to grow over the journey, but also admits it's also because it's much more interesting that way.
Line 209:
* Coyote from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]''. Comes with being a [[Trickster God]], as mentioned above under Mythology.
* King Radical from ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]''. His two goals in life seem to be making Cumberland a more ''radical'' place, and messing with Dr McNinja's head. Why? For fun.
* ''[[8-Bit Theater
** [[Actually Pretty Funny|"Heh. That was funny, wasn't it."]]
* Some of the stuff that Belkar does in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' is [[For the Evulz]], and some of it is this. He particularly likes messing with other people's heads in harmless but disturbing ways. Often, he'll do something that people don't expect from him just because it will confuse them.
