* ''[[Something Positive]]'' is a form of Sadist Webcomic that is more about characters surviving their lives while the world continues to spit at them. (Of course, how sympathetic you think they are depends on how you view the [[The Eeyore|passive-aggressiveness]] and sadism they react with.)
* ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|8-Bit Theater]]'' has an entire cast of idiots, sadists, and idiotic sadists. The main characters are Fighter, a nimrod who manages to be [[Too Dumb to Live]] and [[No One Should Survive That|too stupid to die]] at the same time ([[Obfuscating Stupidity|or maybe not]]); Black Mage, a psychotic murderer who kills any- and everyone that gets in his way (and a few others just for the hell of it); Red Mage, a [[Munchkin]] powergamer blissfully unaware of his own idiocy with no regard for anyone elses' well-being; and Thief, a duplicitous, greedy elf supremacist with no conscience. All their opponents are of matching idiocy, and the king of the local kingdom wears the literal interpretation of [[Dead Baby Comedy]] for shoes. In fact, the most sympathetic main character other than White Mage, the voice of reason, is Black Mage, as he's at least tried to change. Well, before it was revealed that in order to obtain his doomsday attack, he sacrificed orphans to a dark god. Said doomsday attack is also powered by love; i.e. it siphons love out of the universe, and the divorce rate goes up by a few percent every time he uses it.
** Even White Mage is becoming more of a [[Jerkass]], with her refusing to heal Black Mage when he has a spear through his head (though to be fair, it's [[Complete Monster|Black Mage]]). Also, to add insult to injury, Thief almost never gets his comeuppance, whereas Black Belt (an actually slightly sympathetic character) is the only character yet to have been [[Killed Off for Real]] (even the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] turn up in Hell occasionally).
** Technically, Thief does get his comeuppance when he loses everything he has ever stolen when his bag of holding is frozen, then is shattered into a million pieces in order to kill one of the fiends. He is catatonic for several strips afterwards.
Line 140:
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] is all about watching the titular Nerd play through [[So Bad Its Horrible|craptastic]] games just to show us everything that's wrong with them. Doing so must cost him his sanity and self-respect.
* [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] will dip into this, especially when she reviewed the [[Interquel]] to her all-time favourite Disney movie, ''[[Beauty and The Beast (Disney)|Beauty and The Beast]]''. She didn't have fun.
** Increasingly so as the character develops, really taking off with her [[All Take and No Give|casual abuse of her best friend]]. The Chick has coalesced into a geeky shut-in [[Closet Geek|in denial about her nerdy nature]], and an insecure [[Know -Nothing Know -It -All]] who [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|needs to beat down her friends to boost her]] own [[Broken Bird|broken self-esteem]]. The "Dark Nella Saga" tried breaking her down instead, but she was too oblivious for it to work.
* ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'': Everyone gets killed horribly in every episode.
* ''[[Mari Kari]]'': It’s like the paranormal ''[[Beetlejuice (Animation)|Beetlejuice]]'' meets the vulgar, blood and guts & mayhem of [[South Park]].
Line 166:
* ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show (Animation)|The Ren and Stimpy Show]]''
* ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]''. More on show page.
* ''[[Cat Dog]]'', everyone hated them just because they're different, [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain|they never succeeded]], and they lived in a [[Crapsack World]].
* ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy]]''. It's a rare occasion that the neighborhood kids did something positive toward the Eds. {{spoiler|It changed by the end of the movie--the neighborhood kids actually start liking the Eds at that point.}}
** In most of the episodes, a character gets hurt practically every five seconds. The show practically revolves around pain.
* ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'' - the moral of the show appears to be "Life sucks, then you die. Then life continues to suck, and you die ''again''."
** And [[Cosmic Plaything|if you're unlucky]] you [[They Killed Kenny|will continue to die in very horrible ways]] only for [[Laser -Guided Amnesia|no one to remember]].
* From it's second season and onward, ''[[Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' often wound up being this.
* ''[[Jimmy Two Shoes (Animation)|Jimmy Two Shoes]]'': It takes place in a town that's obviously [[Hell]], with the titular character the only one in the cast that isn't either a [[Comedic Sociopathy|complete sociopath]] or an [[The Hedonist|idiotic hedonist]].
