Line 170:
** Larry however seemed to have learned from this, even lampshading in the new episode that he wasn't letting Michael out of his sight because he knew he would do something to sabotage his plan.
* In ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'' Jeremy catches Annie breaking into his house to steal a necklace he bought after she had had to pawn it (the necklace is a key part of the contested inheritance Jeremy's grandmother left to Annie in her will and she needs it to prove she deserves the money). Rather than simply call the cops and have Annie arrested there and then (he hadn't broken any laws while she definitely had) Jeremy locks her in his bedroom and indulges in [[Evil Gloating]] about how he hated his grandmother allowing Annie to [[Engineered Public Confession|record him on her Blackberry and send the message to her lawyers.]]
* Kim Jang-hyun from the Korean TV series ''[[Strong Girl Bong-soon]]'' not only carries the villain ball everywhere he goes, he's got it mounted on a stick and is waving it about so everyone can see. He's addicted to [[Bond Villain Stupidity]], is so convinced he's smarter than the cops (and anyone else) that he actively taunts them ''in person'', and when he engineers a situation that causes Bong-soon to lose her divinely-granted [[Super Strength]], he can't be satisfied with just [[De-Power]]ing her -- he has to kidnap her and put her in a [[Death Trap]] to rub his victory in that much more, ''while on the run from a nationwide dragnet searching for him''. [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|And all that accomplishes is restoring her strength and making her ''that'' much more determined to bring him down]].
