Line 124:
* ''[[Spider-Man: The Animated Series]]''; the "Tablet of Time" two-parter was this for the Kingpin. In his goal to obtain the Tablet, his wife was kidnapped, and though she is rescued unharmed, she decides to leave him at the end, despite his pleas. The Kingpin winds up with the Tablet, which he had wanted in the first place, but he orders Hammerhead to get rid of it. "The sight of it sickens me," he growls.
* In an episode of ''[[Kidd Video]]'', the [[Big Bad]] Master Blaster is trying to become elected mayor of a town - where the incumbent i ''his own brother'' no less - where the citizens have a thing for showers, baths, pools, and other water-related and plumbing-related things. What the villain ''truly'' wants is the treasure in the town's vault, which he can gain if he becomes mayor. Eventually, Master Blaster wins when their mother casts the deciding vote (a [[Kick the Dog]] towards his brother) but only discovers that this town's idea of a "treasure" is a huge pile of old shower-heads.
* There are two episodes of ''[[Laff-A-Lympics]]'' where the Really Rottens win the competition, but in one of them, they really aren't happy about it, because as [[Card-Carrying Villain]]s, they ''want'' to win by cheating, and in this case, they won honestly.
