Examples of You Have Failed Me... in Web Original works include:

  • In Survival of the Fittest, after Monique St.Claire spent the duration of a fight at the small cottage hiding from the opponents and her group, Melina Frost killed her for cowardice and being useless.
    • In Version 4, Danya has long time henchman Achyls shot after he fails to report Liz Polanski acting suspiciously, allowing her to successfully disable her collar.

"That's what happens when you become a hindrance, Renee. So keep yourself out of that horrid category."

  • In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Dr. Horrible is told that not only does he need to commit a murder to enter the Evil League of Evil, due to his previous failures Bad Horse will execute him if he screws this one up. It's put quite catchily, too:

Cowboys: There will be blood/It might be yours/So go kill someone/Signed, Bad Horse!

  • In Star Harbor Nights, Webmistress explains she had to resort to this to cover when she accidentally killed a Mook she had meant to reward with a blissful injection, due to glitchy cybernetics.
  • Führer Katrina from v2 - v4 of Open Blue, due to her perfectionist nature, had a tendency to shoot officers who botched missions. And officers who smelled like alcohol whenever she showed up for a surprise inspection.
  • In Mastermind, the main character does this every single time he calls a meeting. His minions eventually call him out on this. Later, it turns out that his Genre Savvy engineer apparently redirected his Shark Pool Trap Door to lead to the cafeteria instead.
  • The fate of the villain in The Adventures of The League of STEAM Season 2 finale, "Dead End".
  • The leaders of the SCP Foundation are known to execute researchers or agents for doing things that are against protocol, doing stupid things that cause "containment breaches" (ie, accidents that cause dangerous SCPs to escape) or being overly and/or unnecessarily cruel to contained SCPs. They might execute the offender if the severity is great enough, but a far worse punishment is being demoted to D-class; usually "recruited" from the ranks of irredeemable criminals on death row, a D-class' usual function is to be a human guinea pig or monster chow, depending on the situation, so this demotion is usually a far worse form of execution. Although, it's possible they can be forgiven and promoted, although such clemency is often granted posthumously due to a Heroic Sacrifice on the recipient's part.
