== Anime ==
* Dallas Genoard of ''[[Baccano!]]'' spends most of his time being so much of an asshole that the [[Noble Demon|sympathetic mobsters]] look nicer, and being such a loser that the [[Heroic Sociopath|heroic sociopaths]] of the cast look cooler.
* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' - Tomoya has his eternal buttmonkey Sunohara hanging off him—a foil whose job it is to suck.
* Until they [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] in "Best Wishes", [[Terrible Trio|Team Rocket]] of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' anime had been this trope for quite a while. Need a newly introduced character (from Gym Leaders to just skilled normal trainers) to show their skill? [[The Worf Effect|Have them beat up Team Rocket]]!
* Subverted in Reinouryokusha Odagiri Kyouko no Uso when the designated Straw Loser (a skeptic whose life's work is to debunk the alleged "psychic powers" of the main character), is helped by the main character, into showing the audience that he treasures his wife's life more than proving that his opponent is a fraud.
