* ''Roleplay/InkCity'': [[WesternAnimation/AeonFlux Trevor]] plotted to [[AndIMustScream paralyze]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Yakko]] and [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Rigby]] so he could [[TheyWouldCutYouUp experiment on them]]. Instead, he wound up trapped within his own paralyzing fluid. Rigby then broadcast a video of this latest kidnapping attempt to the City at large as proof of Trevor's nature; Trevor had previously used a video of Rigby attacking him to damage his friendship with [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix]] and [[WoundedGazelleGambit paint himself as the victim]].

* In ''Series/{{Noob}}'' Season 2 finale, Master Zen calls a Game Master on Arthéon and Sparadrap for possession of the cheated staff. When the Game Master shows up, he reveals that possession of cheated equipment no longer ban-worthy due the fact that the game authorities have realized that it was involuntary on the player's part. Master Zen's reaction is to take the cheated staff and try using it against Sparadrap and Arthéon, and act which is still forbidden. This scene is the equivalent of calling the police on someone for misconduct, having it transpire that the misconduct was involuntary, then having the person who called the police doing something arrest-worthy while the agent is still present.

** In an episode of ''GO!'', Geoff turns Ray's perfectionism against him as the latter is forced to choose a game using his secondary Xbox Live account ("[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]]Sucks" instead of his primary "[=BrownMan=]"). The problem is is that Ray doesn't like having games left uncompleted on his account and thus he's left in an conundrum as he can't choose a game that he can't easily complete.

* In one episode of Creator/RoosterTeeth's "Things to do in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''", Geoff and Gavin create the Hop Till You Drop maze and takes glee in watching the other [[Creator/AchievementHunter Achievement Hunters]] falling into the lava pit below. Flash forward to "LetsPlay ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''" episode 44 and Geoff is the first one to find and mine the [[MacGuffin Tower of Pimps]]. A bad step causes Geoff to throw an Ender Pearl wildly. Where does it land? The lava pit, taking him out AND losing the Tower, forcing them to redo it over again.

* ''WebOriginal/{{Retsupurae}}'' has actually affected a number of people, the most notable ones being ''WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic'', who realized his LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsBartsNightmare'' was horribly, horribly bad (and probably lead to his TenMinuteRetirement) after the Retsupurae of it was released, and a Creepy Pasta about a haunted Mario game was removed from the wiki hosting it after the entire story was mercilessly mocked.

* In ''DeathBattle'', [[spoiler: [[DigDug Taizo Hori]]]] kills [[spoiler: [[{{VideoGame/Bomberman}} White Bomberman]]]] with his own bomb.

* In ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', [[spoiler:[[BigBad Jack Slash]]]] suffers a FateWorseThanDeath at the hands of [[spoiler Gray Boy]], who he [[spoiler:had cloned in the first place to replace the original.]] In addition, Golem, the hero that orchestrated these events, is in fact [[spoiler:Theo Anders, who Jack had challenged to kill him two years previously.]]

* In ''DeathBattle'' [[DigDug Thizo Hori]] kills [[{{VideoGame/Bomberman}} White Bomberman]] with his own bomb.
** Similarly, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]] defeats [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Starscream]] entirely by tricking Starscream's own guided missiles into hitting him instead of her.

* In chapter 5 of the ''[[{{Neopets}} Neopian Times]]'' story [[http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=450279&week=390 Revenge]],'' during a Yooyuball game, [[AlphaBitch Alex]] uses her sling to hurl a potion at Naqasa that will turn her into a hideous mutant Usul. However, Naqasa's brother Q'tai is also playing and throws his ball to hit the potion and send it flying in Alex's direction so that ''she'' gets drenched with it instead.

** In general, any WebOriginal story in which a character maliciously causes sexualized transformations has at least a 20% chance of applying this trope. See also: countless stories on FurAffinity.

* While [[LetsPlay Let's Playing]] ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', ''TheRunawayGuys'' frequently abuse the [[PressXToNotDie bubble mechanic]]. This can backfire when the sole player who's ''not'' bubbled winds up dying. In particular, Episode 14 illustrates this well -- in part by being the first episode of that Let's Play that had to be broken up into two videos due to its length...

* ''TheQuestportChronicles'': The [[NoNameGiven mysterious]] [[EvilSorcerer mage]] falls victim to a nasty cycle of AddictiveMagic and a life-draining AmplifierArtifact.
