* Happens sometimes in the [[Darwin Awards]]. For instance, this man [http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1999-01.html tried to steal from a collection plate, ran outside onto a highway, and was killed by a bus]. That's pretty instant karma right there.
* The effect is, as stated above, nearly impossible to substantiate in [[Real Life]], but Instant Karma is a recurring observation for many transplant-natives to places like Greenwich Village in Manhattan, The French Quarter in New Orleans, and the Haight-Ashbury of San Francisco. This is explored in fiction, but with less regularity than it's become a recurring topic in [[Real Life]] conversations.
* Eric Bauman, founder of eBaumsworld and infamous for making a fortune off of content stolen from across the net, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090502203443/http://ty.rannosaur.us/karma-in-action-eric-bauman-gets-fired/ was recently fired by the current owners of his company.]
* Lakers player Andrew Bynum put a major hit on Gerald Wallace in a game in late January 2009, a hit that caused Wallace to get a broken rib and a collapsed lung. In Bynum's very next game, he got into a collision with Kobe Bryant, which caused Bynum to have a major MCL tear which put him out for 8–12 weeks, the amount of time [[Broken Base|some NBA fans]] believe he should've been suspended for the hit on Wallace.
* During the filming of ''[[Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]]'', director Melvin Van Peebles had his 13-year old son, Mario, shoot a scene as a young Sweetback. The scene was where Sweetback lost his virginity to a old hooker. [[Fan Disservice|It was as disturbing as it sounds]] - especially since Mario's skinny frame made him look all of 9. Trying to shoot this scene today would've resulted in a vice raid and a nice long talk with Child Services - at a minimum. Instant Karma got Melvin when he caught gonorrhea during his own (un-simulated) sex scene during the same filming.

* Several stories on ''[[(The Customer is) Not Always Right]]''.
* [http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/03/25/lions-lunch-on-poacher-115875-22137406/ Hunter setting illegal snares is chased off of game preserve by hippos and eaten by lions.]
* Three guys [https://web.archive.org/web/20100522022832/http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/1054639/sydney-ninjas-rescue-student-from-attackers attempt to mug someone] in Sydney, outside what turns out to be [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|a ninjitsu class]].
* From the Maury Povich Show, we have [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1BQEJLbK0w this] fine speciment of humanity. It's hard to feel sympathy for this bum given that he apparently never paid one thin dime in child support to the kids' mother.
* One German agent in Istanbul during [[World War II]] was being more of a bother than the [[Emniyet]] preferred. So the [[Emniyet]] sent a man to go up to him and say, "We have discovered that you are Jewish..."
