Line 2:
* [http://www.vanvonhunter.com/vvh232.html A hilarious literal example], from the [[Web Comic]] ''Van Von Hunter''.
* As soon as the villain, {{spoiler|Frans Rayner}}, of the D.A.R.E To Resist Ninja Drugs and Ninja Violence story arc is introduced, he [http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=18&issue=4 gets into this trope.] It could be seen as his [[Moral Event Horizon]]... but they are just mooks [[You Have Failed Me|who failed him]] because of Dan McNinja's [[Incendiary Exponent]].
* This is [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/11/18/episode-771-no-good-deed/ parodied] in an ''[[8-Bit Theater
* At the end of a ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'' storyline, Charisma rants to her illegitimate son's face that he exists to ruin her life, after a series of events he had no control over, in front of her boyfriend. Needless to say, he leaves her soon after.
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' Aylee{{spoiler|'s evil clone}} gets one of these after she goes through her corporate executive transformation. She attacks the gang's Halloween party and leaves all the guests unconscious outside and taunts Riff with the knowledge that she can kill him and everyone he knows ''so easily''.
Line 16:
* Very literal instance in ''[[General Protection Fault]]'', in [http://www.gpf-comics.com/archive.php?d=19990101 one of Trudy's earliest appearances], complete with [[Giggling Villain|giggle]]. This turns out to be one of her ''nicer'' traits as the strip progresses.
* ''[[Questionable Content]]''. [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1307 Sven.] Not funny, Jeph. Not funny.
** He could have chosen a much less mean way to put it, but [[Straw Man Has a Point|he does have a fair point]]: he and Fay are fuck buddies with few-or-no strings attached, so expecting exclusivity is pretty strange. And if she wants something more serious, she could always ASK, rather than trying to browbeat him into it.
* [[Minions At Work]]. [http://www.minionsatwork.com/2009/03/minions-153-freshly-cribbed.html Well, I don't feel really good about who we stole the candy from but you have to admit... it was easy].
* Misty Snow from [[Shadowgirls]]. She was racist at the age of 5, and when she grew up, she became a teenage [[Alpha Bitch|Queen]] of [[Jerkass]]. Her biggest feat in kicking a dog? She {{spoiler|made Lin betray her best friend Becka for popularity, and led her in a trap, but instead of embarrassing her in public, like Lin thought it would end, Becka almost gets ''raped'' by three guys. And Misty was meanwhile playing with Lin's guilt, and thinking about it made [[Fate Worse Than Death]] even worse.}}
Line 29:
* Nemen Yi, the Chosen of Battles in [[Keychain of Creation]]. When she first shows up, her moral status is indeterminate: sure, she's trying to sequester the group's precious artifact, but it had just been stolen by the villains for world-ending purposes. Then, after one of the team gets it back, the Chosen of Battles looks like she's ready to throw down on the group -- until Marena points out that that [http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0238.html would be illegal]. Fortunately, the conundrum of whether we're supposed to sympathize with Nemen Yi or not is solved in the very [http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0239.html very next strip], as she immediately chooses to try and steal the artifact and bait the rest of the group into attacking her first (so she can "defend" herself) by attempting to behead Secret, on the legal technicality that even though she is a defector from team evil and working for the protagonists, she's still an Abyssal [[Exalted]]. Going straight for [[The Woobie|the Woobie's]] neck just to get around a bureaucratic roadblock in your path is what we call "a signal".
* [http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20091128 This] strip of LICD has a literal example.
* Khrima from ''[[Adventurers!]]'', [http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/20020315.html he kicks cute things].
* In Knights of the Old Republic, Darth Bandon attacks a guy as he's walking in to meet [[Big Bad|Darth Malak]], and Darth Malak electrocutes two people for no apparent reason at one point.
* And, of course, [[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]] gives us a [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=249#comic literal example].
