Line 8:
* In ''[[Concerned]]'', Dr. Breen (in here made a [[Card-Carrying Villain]]) tends to try and pull off a faux Force Chokehold when he's angry at someone, wishing for his minions to at least play along.
* Khrima, from ''[[Adventurers!]]'', [[Minion with an F In Evil|doesn't normally do this]], but [http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/0057.html this particular minion really had it coming.]
* Subverted in ''[[The Wotch]]''. This villain prefers [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2003-03-20 minions with initiative].
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' Lord Horribus kills a couple of demons for not doing their part in the hunt for Torg. It's actually somewhat more understandable in this case, since it was less a case of the demons ''failing'' to capture Torg and more that they hadn't even been ''trying''.
* In ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', two of Frans Rayner's mooks report that they were unable to capture the Doctor's father because he was on fire. Rayner insists that he could catch ''both'' of his mooks if they were on fire, and has his midget douse them with gasoline and light a match to prove it. He just sits there and watches them run around screaming.
{{quote|'''Assistant:''' You're not trying to catch them, sir?
'''Rayner:'''
* The Speaker in ''[[Harkovast]]'' forces a Junlock minion who disrespects The Speaker's religion to drown [http://www.drunkduck.com/Harkovast/index.php?p=537197 himself]. He also causes the Junlock's friends to think this was perfectly [http://www.drunkduck.com/Harkovast/index.php?p=540580 okay].
* Krystal in ''[[Kid Radd]]'' loves to subvert this trope. Every time one of her subordinates brings bad news, instead of executing them, she just inflicts horrific pain on them.
* In ''[[Soapbox Hill]]'', a Demon-chick gets defeated and cast back into the netherworld. Her overlord whispers in her ear "this is the third time you've failed me..." The look on her face is one of utter terror...
* ''[[Bob and George]]'' [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/040421c Your apology is accepted]
* Parodied in ''[[Darths and Droids]]'', [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0625.html during] [[Revenge of the Sith|Obi-Wan's and Anakin's climactic duel]]:
{{quote|'''Obi-Wan:''' Now I see I was fooling myself. You've earned a failing grade in Jedi Ethics.
'''Anakin:''' That's it, Obi-Wan! [[Just for Pun|You've failed me for the]] ''[[Just for Pun|last time!]]'' }}
** When Darth Vader shows up (not played by the same person as Anakin - yet) one of the first things he does is order an underling to fix his mistake and then execute himself. The force-choke scene then becomes Motti complaining about Vader's policies instead of just mouthing off. Vader doesn't [http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0733.html quite] get the point.
* Exploited in ''[[Girl Genius]]'':
{{quote|'''Drusus''': Heh. But you still haven't got [[Remote Body|''all'' of me]]. My ''true body'' is no longer in Paris—
'''Colette''': The devil may take your true body, you nasty little traitor. [spoiler] What, I wonder, will they ''do'' to you, now that you have ''failed?''
'''Drusus''': (stops being smug) Oh... ''[[This Is Gonna Suck|Ah.]]'' }}
