* ''Series/CoronationStreet'': Given that he inflicted DomesticAbuse towards his girlfriend Rita Fairclough to the point of attempting to kill her after she exposed him as a fraud who'd obtained his money by borrowing against her house without her knowledge and attempted to rape Dawn Prescott, Alan Bradley gets fatally hit by a tram when he chases Rita after finding her at Blackpool, where she fled to her friend Bet's hotel to get away from him.

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'':
** A millionaire [[FrivolousLawsuit serial litigator]] was murdered by a chef whose life she had completely destroyed as she was getting ready to do ''the same'' on his new workplace.
** A horribly corrupt Deputy Mayor of NYC responsible for embezzling several million dollars out of various charities and refusing to raise policemen's salaries leading to a city-wide strike was nurdered by his 10-year-old OCD son after he planned on sending him to a boarding school out of frustration for the boy's condition.
** A young man who was poisoned by a cheerleader who he had mocked when she was overweight. After suffering through some completely undeserved humiliation, the girl managed to lose weight and carry out a GambitRoulette to get her revenge.
** Three men, guilty of various crimes, who brutally beat the girl who had got them arrested and wasn't even supposed to have to testify. They were killed by their attorneys, [[AmoralAttorney who didn't much care if their sleazy clients killed, intimidated, or beat up their (usually) equally sleazy accusers]], but [[EvenEvilHasStandards couldn't stand what the men had done to that girl]]. When one of the killers points out to Mac that they're likely to get away with it and asks, "Can you really say we shouldn't?", Mac doesn't look too happy -- but doesn't say "no" either.

** A clingy ex-wife who insisted on making life hell for her ex-husband and children. She tried to ''put a hit on herself'' to frame her ex-husband and when she couldn't do it, she ''tricked her own son'' into killing her for the same reason.
** A convicted pedophile on parole. He was staying at his brother's house, and the stress of having him around plus the associated harassment by the neighbors caused said brother's pregnant wife to miscarry. The brother then catches the pedophile spying on a playground which turns out to be the last straw and kills him.
** A woman who trained dogs for underground dog fighting rings, and who had become a VillainWithGoodPublicity by having built a reputation as a big-time animal philanthropist ([[{{Hypocrite}} who focused on saving animals trained for underground fighting rings]]). The man who killed her? ''An FBI informant'' who was fed up with the Bureau having its hands tied even after he had given them truckloads of evidence.
** A particularly vicious [[TheBully high school bully]] who had given at least one of his victims permanent physical damage. Murdered by the school guidance counselor, who had previously worked at a school where a copycat murder of UsefulNotes/{{Columbine}} took place and figured it was only a matter of time before someone shot up the school to deal with the bully.
** On one episode a contestant on a cooking show is found killed and cooked, and then later another one is found poisoned. Turns out the female producer of the show offed them both because she discovered that they were the ones who raped and murdered her sister years before, and had lied about the truth to her face while pretending to comfort her.

* ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'': In addition to being a RedShirtArmy, it's really difficult to feel sorry for the Knights when they are in the middle of attacking sorcerers and get killed doing so. Sometimes they're attacking sorcerers that attacked them first, but other times they're attacking [[WouldHurtAChild children]] or [[ActualPacifist Druids]] that have never harmed anyone

* ''Series/TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher2023'': The first few minutes of the first episode tell the audience that all six of Roderick Usher's children are dead; the rest of the series reveals in flashbacks that none of them were good or nice people, which makes you feel slightly less bad that [[spoiler: their father and their aunt made a literal DealWithTheDevil in which they would get disgustingly rich by creating the opioid crisis, and in exchange, they and all their descendants would all die at the same time.]]

** ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'': The GreateerScopeVillain organisation Alphabet Soup is basically no more after Venjix's successful attack on the world with it's members either dead or imprisoned. Yet given that they kidnapped and lied to innocent children for being smart and pretty much caused Venjix's threat level by refusing to let Dr. K stop it, nobody's going to miss these guys or care what happened to them either way. Venjix himself become this first when he is crushed in his final form by the falling Corinth control tower [[spoiler: and later as Evox in ''Power Rangers Beast Morphers'' when he is destroyed by the rangers corrupting him entirely with human DNA.]]
** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'': As the most evil of the main villains, surpassing even Sledge, there's not much sympathy to be had for Lord Arcanon when Sledge and Snide betray and kill him, considering he's responsible for the destruction of Heckyl's homeworld Sentai 6 and twisting two good guys into monsters who they are forced to share a body with. His lackeys who also get killed at the same time also count as this.:
*** Singe who, in addition to assisting Arcanon with his goals, manipulates Heckyl as a double agent, callously endangers innocents in his first attempt to kill the rangers, had Tyler corrupted with a computer virus, tried draining the rangers powers with the Zotak Rings, and having a petty rivalry with Fury.
*** MOTWs Conductro and Screech who under Arcanon's orders, create a music box made to zombify all of Amber Beach and use the whole population as human shields.
** ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'': Madame Odious became the big bad of the second season after backstabbing and causing the death of her boss Galvanax, a complete jerk who (seemingly) killed a young Brody's father and then enslaved him on his ship just for the Nexus Prism and was very cruel to his subordinates, even Ripcon and Odious herself. Due to this, not even the surviving Galaxy Warriors were particularly heartbroken about his death and even Cosmo Royale never once questions Odious taking over his show and attacks.

to:

** ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy": Captain Mutiny Mutiny, a slaver pirate who is indicated to have literally worked his slavers to death and tried to subject the Terra Venture to the exact same fate, is killed alongside his crew and ship by Trakeena as soon as he steps foot on the main galaxy. Unceremonious as it was, he definitely had it coming.
** "Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue": Queen Bansheera. Being sealed away forever in your own tomb where the spirit of her former minion Diabolico ensures she suffers as her own horde of demons attack her for eternity is a [[FateWorseThanDeath harsh way to be defeated compared to being destroyed. But since she also planned to unleash said horde to the world in addition to other crimes, and his more-than-the-usual-villain cruelty towards not just her subordinates, but also her own loyal son, nobody (not even Vypra who returns to be the main antagonist of their teamup with Time Force) is set to lose sleep over her fate.
** "Series/PowerRangersWildForce":
*** Viktor Adler, who freely turned into the next Master Org out of petty jealousy so he can murder Cole's parents and then try to do the same to Cole himself when he was a baby, gets thrown off a cliff by Mandilok who was resurrected by Toxica and Jindrax whom he frequently abused. While he does return to life as a vessel for the original Master Org to use, when Master Org is finally destroyed for real and Adler with it, Cole is the only one who mourns the late doctor in the end.
*** Mandilok himself was no better than Master Org when mistreating Jindrax and Toxica and ended up using the latter as a HumanShield, only to end up being killed himself by the revived Master Org. Unlike Adler, there's no special grave for him.

However Dark Spectre is the GreaterScopeVillain who rules over even the other villains in the Zordon era, brainwashed orders Karone and Ecliptor brainwashed for turning on him, and tried to crash a giant meteor onto the Earth [[ILied even after Karone willingly surrendered to him in an attempt to get him to reconsider.]] while Darkonda is a backstabbing sociopath who infected an entire planet and considers kidnapping a young girl to be "one of his finest accomplishments", leaving little sympathy towards either of their deaths

Added DiffLines:

** "Maternal Instincts" plays with this: the victim, who browbeat her HenpeckedHusband into stealing a baby for her, is deserving of this status, but when the now-teenaged boy's parents learn of who killed her, they express that they want her killer to go free. Unfortunately, said killer is just as nasty as she is, being a manipulative and arrogant doctor who killed her in front of the boy as a child after she refused to continue hooking up with him, knew his circumstances and still left him with his "mother's" corpse instead of returning him to his family, and sat on the information for fifteen years.
** "Bombers" doesn't include this until the very end. Whereas the primary victim of the episode, a teenage boy who's a brilliant street artist murdered by a rival street artist/gang member, is as innocent as they come, the ''other'' murder "victim", [[spoiler: ArcVillain Moe Kitchener, who had covered up the murder of a teenage cadet as his junior academy for four years, expressed no remorse for her or her family, and continued to taunt Lilly after nearly killing her, is [[VigilanteExecution executed by the cadet's grief-stricken father]] [[WhamShot at the very end of the episode.]] Whereas he confesses to the detective and is arrested, absolutely no shits were given about his death.]]
