Line 24:
** She also [[Digital Piracy Is Evil|reads a book in a book store without paying for it]]. Luckily for Keiichi's health, it wasn't Borders. And although she's not ''trying'' to be evil, she's quite happy to let her younger sister attempt to murder her boyfriend with a chainsaw.
** Also Mara, even in her debut episode, where she knocks over some kid's ice cream cone, after which the kid and his friend kick her in the shin.
* One late ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma 1/2½]]'' manga story and OAV story has an "Evil Oni" which gains power by possessing people and making them act on their most evil desires. Inevitably, however, these "evil deeds" turn out to be petty mischief, like doodling on Soun (Genma), attacking Ranma (Kuno--Ranma points out that this is his normal behavior) or attempting to peep on Akane in the bath (Ryoga). The Oni eventually possesses [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] Kasumi, whose idea of "evil" doesn't go much beyond cutting cloth dollies out of the sheets and ordering tons of expensive takeout food early in the morning.
** Many of Ranma's villains have their own [[Poke the Poodle]] moments - putting pantyhose over people's heads, stealing cute things and giving them French names, distributing test scores from a giant balloon...
* [[Transformers|The Predacons]] Slapper, Gas Skunk and Darkscream in ''[[Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'' attempt to gain energy for Megatron by stealing hundreds of ''flashlight batteries''.

== Webcomics ==
* ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=301#comic throw its hat into the ring.]
* White Mage from ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-bit Theater]]'' attempts a [[Face Heel Turn]]. The most monstrous deeds she can think of are kicking Red Mage in the shin and calling Fighter dumb. Eventually she became good again when Fighter tells her that she's even worse at evil than she is at good. What's double amusing is how badly Fighter [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/07/07/episode-867-night-and-day/ takes it] and Red Mage [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/07/19/episode-872-puppet-master/ gets beaten up more], despite the hideous abuse they put each other through daily.
** Another example is the first antagonist Garland, who isn't much eviler than White Mage, much to the frustration of the {evil) princess he captured.
* ''[[Skin Horse]]'': As shown in [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/memberimages/sh080712effort_to_find.jpg this strip], Sweetheart hasn't got the hang of rampaging yet.
Line 205:
** It's still possible he might [http://www.samandfuzzy.com/archive.php?comicID=70 lose his edge], tho' . . .
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?arcid=16 Sisters arc, Part VI: Scattered Pieces]. Ellen (Elliot's magic-spawned [[Opposite Sex Clone]]) suffers a mental breakdown from the [[Cloning Blues|emotional trauma of her "birth"]] and believes that she's his [[Evil Twin]], and tries to get him in trouble at school by doing various "evil" acts such as telling off an incompetent teacher, choosing inappropriate topics for a speech, threatening a bully and informing the principal that his toupee makes him look like Hitler. Her complete lack of success just makes her more miserable, and by the end of the day, [[Heel Face Turn|she shows her true colors]], risking her life to stop a rampaging monster.
* ''[[Adventurers!]]'': Khrima, being a [[Big Bad]] [[Minion with an F In Evil|With An F In Evil]], has a lot of moments like this. He once claimed that helping an old lady cross the street was "leading her into a life of crime".
** Still, every few strips he would show after torching an entire town, so it does get confusing.
* Lil' E from ''[[Sinfest]]'' is the Devil's [[Loony Fan]]. He's [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=976 Evil!] His attempts to practice sins other than Sloth, though, are [http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1003 less than impressive]. But he "[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1125 contributes to the cultural demise of civilization]".
