No, he doesn't kick himself by accident when trying to [[Kick the Dog]]. He's a henchman to a [[Card-Carrying Villain]] who can't quite wrap his mind around card-carrying villainy. As such, they often get confused and do "good" things like saying please or thank you or [[Helpful Mook|being kind to the heroes in some way]] by mistake -- and get yelled at for it by their superior if caught. This character type tends to be predicated on the assumption that [[Rousseau Was Right]]; theoretically, this so-called "villain" hasn't properly learned how to be bad. Very much [[Played for Laughs]], and most commonly used in children's shows. They often get a [[Mook Face Turn]] at the end of the series, or earlier if their boss is particularly mean with a [[Mistreatment
Not to be confused with [[Affably Evil]] characters, who ''are'' evil but polite about it. Certain versions are relatives who the villain is obliged to keep around despite their incompetence, or horrific monsters that turn out to actually be [[Gentle Giant|Gentle Giants]].

* During the "That Which Redeems" story arc from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', the Dimension of Pain demons start turning people in the Dimension of Lame into demons as well. However, as one demon puts it, "When you start with wussie mortals you get wussie demons."
* [[Butt Monkey|Neeg]], one of the aliens from ''[http://www.agameoffools.com A Game of Fools]'', who is [http://agameoffools.com/comic_22.html terrified at the very sight of humans] and is repeatedly abused (and, it's implied, [http://agameoffools.com/comic_28.html much worse]) by his [[Depraved Bisexual]] superior Gloog eventually ends up [http://agameoffools.com/comic_29.html betraying him] and [[Mistreatment
** Much later on, a journey to the Earth's surface to rescue Gloog from the main characters instead results in him being [http://agameoffools.com/comic_118.html forced into helping] and then being [http://agameoffools.com/comic_133.html beaten senseless] by a senile old woman.
* Jurinjo from ''[[Emergency Exit]]'' is amazing at this trope. He helps [[Cloudcuckoolander|Eddie]] buy groceries, delays reporting back from a mission until he eats ice cream and sees a dancing monkey, shows the heroes the location of a [[Plot Coupon]], has doubts about continuing to work for the villain, doesn't want to attack an opponent who seems to be less well armed then he is, is upset when another villain attacks one of the heroes , offers to heal the hero and has to be reminded that villains usually asks for payment, and actually holds up his end of the deal and seems to be making friends with one of the heroes.

**** WHOA - back up a bit. Apparently, all of you forgot that not only did Jr. graduate from [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Genre Savvy U.]] with a degree in [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]], [[Took a Level In Badass|he took an advanced course in thievery from Shego]]... and shows signs of becoming an [[Anti-Villain]].
* Wingnut, Grizzle's robot minion from ''[[Care Bears|Oopsy Does It]]''. Eventually he stands up to his master, as the entire movie was basically one big [[Mistreatment
** Grizzle seems to have trouble making suitably evil minions, as his two recurring minions in the series are an [[Affably Evil]] [[Deadpan Snarker]] and [[Too Dumb to Live]]. This could be due to his [[Harmless Villain]] status, though: even when he created the '[[The Spock|smartest robot ever]],' it [[Straw Vulcan|logically]] decided he was the flaw in his own plan and [[The Computer Is Your Friend|kicked him out of his own lair]].
* Batso from ''[[Happily Ever After (Film)|Happily Ever After]]''.
