That being said, all of these are not canon as Frieza's canonical time in Hell and resurrection are told in "Resurrection F" and Dragonball Super. For a summary on how he fares there, see below.

*** Frieza fares a lot better in the retelling in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', where his army (which is packing a particularly powerful EliteMook which Frieza killed in the original film) actually gives the protagonists a challenge. Frieza also gets to torture Gohan and kills Piccolo, adding to the drama. In the end, Goku and Vegeta arrive only just in time, and Gohan nearly kills himself powering up so that Goku could get there ( via instant transmission). Once the battle with Goku gets going, Frieza intentionally kills his own men by transforming in his final form rather than having them ineffectually attempt to fight Goku and Vegeta. He also proves to be something of an AdaptationalBadass, succesfully holding his own against Base Goku and even taking the lead a few times by being a CombatPragmatist (whereas he got easily beaten in the movie), and when he brings out his full power as Golden Frieza he beats Goku to the point he nearly loses conciousness, actually giving the impression he could win. That being said, Frieza is pretty much fated to lose the same way he did in the film.

* Ryoko and Ayeka suffer from one in episode seven of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo''. Having decided to team up to take care of their "rivals" Mihoshi and Washu, Mihoshi by sending her back to the Galaxy Police and by boarding up the door to Washu's lab, they end up turning on each other, the only thing standing between them and Tenchi is a teleportation trap on his door. As they fight, a frightened Sasami defeats the trap by ''knocking'', leaving the two even more confused as they hear Washu in his room, too. They try to join them, but are quickly tossed out into the lake. As they pull themselves out, they're treated to having Mihoshi crashland on the house.

* Frieza of ''Manga/DragonBall Z'' suffers such a fate; after being the BigBad of the entire Namek arc and beating just about every opponent who comes his way, he is bested when Goku becomes a Super Saiyan. His pride is broken and he is turned into a pathetic wreck, with Goku inflicting all kinds of humiliating injuries upon him, such as battering him down on the head to create a ridiculous, bug-eyed expression and slapping him back and forth in the face. This culminates in him being [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sliced in half]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard by his own energy disc]], and his humiliation is only made worse when he is forced to beg for Goku's sympathy.
** It all starts when Goku detects Frieza's power level is woefully inadequate and falling fast, so he literally turns his back on Frieza; and it ends with Frieza floating through space, all alone, still alive but weak as a kitten, literally cut to pieces.
** Before that, though, all those killed by Frieza and his minions are revived, including the Namekians and Porunga. Frieza is able to vocalize his wish, but it has to be done in the Namekian language. Dende fulfills Goku's request and everyone, including Porunga, is transported to Earth. What follows is Goku rubbing that last failure in and Frieza screaming so loud it shatters nearby rocks.
** Frieza is further humbled when he returns, his missing limbs replaced by mechanical substitutes, and is easily bested by the newly introduced FutureBadass Trunks, who turns out to be a Super Saiyan too. Every attack he tosses at the young Super Saiyan is easily deflected before Frieza finds himself once again [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sliced in two, this time from head to groin]], then cut up even further before being blasted into ash. His father King Cold fares no better, getting blasted through the heart after thinking Trunks is nothing without his sword and then vaporized against a mountainside. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for FutureBadass Trunks.
** Frieza continues to be humiliated even after death; every time he is met in the afterlife or resurrected, [[TheWorfEffect he is easily put in his place]] by the ever-growing power of the good guys. For instance, in one of the many (non-canon) DBZ movies, after being revived along with all other evil beings, he is defeated with ''one punch'' by Gohan.
* While not as ultra direct as other congas, if you watch closely the scene of the Anime/CodeGeass GrandFinale where some of Emperor Lelouch's more recent and direct opponents, as well as the kidnapped UFN representatives, are [[spoiler: paraded off to be executed in public, with only Nunnally being assured to not die]], you'll notice that [[spoiler: Schneizel]] is being subjected to a ''far'' more humiliating treatment. [[spoiler: He's got ClothingDamage (hell, his clothes are ''gone'', and he's got your classic rags as his "prison uniform", compared to everyone else's relatively neat and clean straitjacket ensembles), appears to have been beaten up during his time in prison and is also ''chained'' to his post, which is much larger and prominently displayed than those of all the others being shown off in the parade...]]
** A more straight example happens ''much'' earlier in the series, and not even to a major villain. [[spoiler: When Margrave Jeremiah Gottwald comes out from under Lelouch's Geass control]], he's been arrested for treason, has no memory of what he's done to earn it, is offered the equally humiliating choices of being forced to work on an orange farm [[spoiler:(as an insult to the "nickname" Zero called him to falsely imply they were allies)]] or being demoted back to a beginner-level pilot rank, and at least one of his former subordinates is willing to kill him because he's become such an embarrassment. [[spoiler: And ''then'', while trying to prove himself worthy of the empire and his former rank, he ends up going up against Kallen in her brand shiny new badass mech, and pays dearly for it. What'd he do to earn all this? Got on Lelouch's bad side by being the one behind Suzaku's scapegoating for the murder of Prince Clovis]]. The Humiliation Conga ended up being effective for an entirely ''different'' reason, [[spoiler: as a large mass of the fandom thought it was DisproportionateRetribution, and rocketed "Orange-kun" to the role of EnsembleDarkHorse, assuring his promotion to a major antagonist and later to a simply ''memorable'' HeelFaceTurn.]]
** In the ''Knightmare of Nunnally'' manga, a smaller and more comedic conga is dealt to a [[KickTheDog puppy-kicking]] Ashford AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse, when they throw Nunnally off her wheelchair. Nunners's best friend Alice [[spoiler: (a girl with SuperSpeed powers derived from her being injected with C.C's cells]] stands up for her, steals the bullies's school skirts and leaves [[PantyShot their panties]] exposed.
* [[spoiler: Mizuki's ''horrible'' defeat at the hands of Shuusuke Fuji]] in ThePrinceOfTennis qualifies as both this and HoistByHisOwnPetard. [[spoiler: Had Mizuki not manipulated Fuji's brother Yuuta for his own gains, he wouldn't have had Fuji [[ObfuscatingStupidity hiding his true skills]] until Mizuki was 5-0 on top, only to memorably subvert the score to 5-7, give a great TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in public to Mizuki ''and'' cause his rival's spectacular VillainousBreakdown.]]
* In ''AxisPowersHetalia'', America is forced to apologize to the other countries for the horrendous mess that was the Great Depression. The reactions are different per nation, but as a whole, this is what happens (Hungary, France and Switzerland are particularly NOT pleased). And as icing on the cake... Russia is ''very'' pleased since his economy actually ''grew''.
** ZigZaggingTrope: On the one hand, America has done something pretty bad and all the other countries are mercilessly letting him have it and blaming him for it all. On the other hand, America's not shown as a villain, just paying for his typical but this time irrational exuberance, and the other countries aren't really punishing him because they're mostly too busy freaking out over their collapsing economies. This being Hetalia, the whole thing is [[PlayedForLaughs Played For Edutainment]]. The previous strip in the series displayed America's overproduction and debt accumulation as the cause. This being Hetalia, the whole thing is a roundabout soap opera way of getting Lithuania to end his outsourcing holiday from Russia. This being Hetalia, the PoliticallyCorrectHistory prevents the depiction of Hoover's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot-Hawley_Tariff actual response]] which would be best represented by giving the rest of the world a slap in the face, is not mentioned.

* This happens a lot to the Team Rocket trio from Anime/{{Pokemon}}, usually at the end of an episode. It seemed to be a lot more frequent during Kanto, though. This usually would involve them running away from something or someone (Jessie, James, and Meowth being chased by Beedrill became a running gag, though it does happen to the good guys as well). One notable example had them tied to a moving carousel by Ghost Pokémon, who considered it all in good fun to see them get dizzy from nonstop carousel rides.
* Grings Kodai, the BigBad of the ''Anime/PokemonZoroarkMasterOfIllusions'', gets an exceptionally well deserved one. [[spoiler: He got tricked into thinking he's gotten the Time Ripple he wanted the entire movie, tricking him into EvilGloating which is caught on tape. He then gets the device he needed to absorb the Time Ripple destroyed and is sent running for his life by Zoroark and the Legendary Beasts. The mortally wounded Zoroark uses her illusion powers to send him falling off a stadium balcony and getting knocked out. When he comes too, he's surrounded by pretty much the entire cast and forced to watch as afor mentioned EvilGloating [[DeathByIrony is broadcasted across the city on the TV network HE created.]] To put the cherry on top, he's promptly arrested on the spot.]]
* Most of the villains in ''OnePiece'' suffer this. According to Oda, it's more meaningful to prove a man's "way" wrong than to kill them. So what do the Strawhats do to every main antagonist? They beat them to a bloody pulp, crush all their hopes and dreams and let the Marines take care of the rest.
** This is also often subverted as many of these same villains (almost always the more comedic ones) appear again in the manga's cover arcs, where they stumble upon shockingly good fortune and end up better off than most of the other characters in the series. Wapol gets a [[UglyGuyHotWife Hot Wife]] and becomes a rich industrialist, Hatchi befriends a cute mermaid, Gedatsu owns his own hot spring resort, some of the Baroque Works members get a KarmaHoudini, Jango and Fullbody become marines, and Eneru forms a new empire in outer space. (Strangely, Eneru is actually shown ''getting away'' at the end of his initial storyarc, which makes it feel a lot like he pulled a KarmaHoudini)
* In ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', it seems like having her [[OhCrap watch in horror]] as a [[ThereIsNokillLikeOverkill huge beam that scythed through a massive warship zoomed straight towards her]] wasn't enough for the lovably hateable SmugSnake Quattro. ''[[AudioAdaptation StrikerS Sound Stage X]]'' just had to throw this additional bit of humiliation for her.

'''Cinque:''' Uno and Tre are healthy as well.\\
'''Jail:''' They haven't changed at all. Quattro has even gotten a bit fat.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'': While he isn't really a villain (he's a WellIntentionedExtremist at worst), [[spoiler: Kurt Godel]] undergoes one of these after he tries to convince Negi to join him. Not only does [[spoiler: Negi kick his ass, but each of Negi's TrueCompanions successively uses their abilities to either attack Kurt, or screw him over in some fashion. It's topped off by Kurt's old ally Takamichi showing up and blasting him.]]
--> '''Takamichi:''' "What's the matter Kurt? These youngsters seem to be beating you senseless."

* In SakuraGari, [[spoiler: Dr. Katsuragi]] gets a truly ''spectacular'' one as punishment for all his horrible deeds. [[spoiler: The boy he whips, rapes and tortures out of jealousy? Masataka burns his face ''badly'' by throwing boiling tea on his face, ruining his TallDarkAndHandsome looks. The man he loves, whom he forced to kill his abusive stepmother when they were kids ''and'' the "reason" why he rapes the aforementioned boy? Souma confronts him over the torture of the poor kid, then tricks him into drinking a tea laced with the drugs Katsuragi has used to slowly kill Souma's father (at request of Sakurako, the guy's scorned half-sister), and when the "good doctor" is laying on the floor, he deals him a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and goes away. The wife that he beats and abuses to terrible degrees? Once they're alone, Asayo he sets him on fire and kills him.]]
* In HesDedicatedToRoses, Mi-Mi gets a positively ''epic'' one. [[spoiler: The girl she's bullied, used, outed, and pretty much been a bitch to the whole series? I-Da realizes that she can't just let others push her aside, undergoes a physical and mental transformation and announces that she's not going to take any of that crap anymore, and she'll beat up anybody who tries. The boyfriend she's been manipulating the whole time and got sent to juvenile hall? Hak-Yoon breaks out, tells everybody that Mi-Mi was the one responsible for his AttemptedRape of I-Da, burns M-Mi's forehead, and tells her he'll be looking for her once he's out of juvie. This leads to everyone the the class hating her and spitting on her, and I-Da not punching her because she feels it wouldn't be worth it. She goes home, ready to tell her parents everything and getting I-Da's parents sent to jail, just in time to see her father being arrested for shady business practices, realizing that her uncle has told the police everything about them, and that they've lost all their money. And the boy she fell in love with, the reason she pulled all this crap? Na-Ru has fallen in love with I-Da. Mi-Mi pretty much breaks after all this, and ends up being a shut-in in her uncle's house, not seeing or talking to anyone]].
* [[spoiler:Kurata]] from ''Anime/DigimonSavers'' gets an EXTREMELY well deserved one. [[spoiler:Marcus manages to get [=ShineGreymon=] to digivolve to Burst mode, after which Kurata's life goes on a major downwards spiral. His OneWingedAngel form is systematically torn apart around him and he's reduced to begging for his life. Marcus and [=ShineGreymon=] then proceed to defeat him with one punch. Not a super flashy FinishingMove, but ''one punch each''. To rub salt in the wound, all his back up plan to destroy the Digital World fails completely and results in his own death. Sure, it made things worse, but all Kurata ever saw was his plan backfire and kill him.]] Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
* In HunterXHunter, after using one of their friends to force them to throw their fights, Gon and Killua show a nasty trio of Heaven's Areana fighters no mercy. [[spoiler: Killua scares Sadansho so badly he leaves town, and Gon flattens Ghido under a giant tile before breaking his prosthetic leg. Riehvelt gets it the worst though--Killua flings him from his wheelchair and catches him with his own electric whips, and Gon scares him into fainting by stealing his whips and nearly electrocuting him at full power.]]
* Awaki's introduction in ''ACertainMagicalIndex''. One episode after she's introduced as an antagonist, she's been injured and verbally humiliated by Kuroko, forced to flee from [[TheHero Touma]] and a [[UnstoppableRage very angry]] [[ShockAndAwe Misaka]], contacts her associates only to hear them being taken down by a SWAT team, and then runs into [[TheDreaded Accelerator]]...

I-Da realizes that she can't just let others push her aside, undergoes a physical and mental transformation and announces that she's not going to take any of that crap anymore, and she'll beat up anybody who tries. The boyfriend she's been manipulating the whole time and got sent to juvenile hall? Hak-Yoon breaks out, tells everybody that Mi-Mi was the one responsible for his AttemptedRape of I-Da, burns M-Mi's forehead, and tells her he'll be looking for her once he's out of juvie. This leads to everyone the the class hating her and spitting on her, and I-Da not punching her because she feels it wouldn't be worth it. She goes home, ready to tell her parents everything and getting I-Da's parents sent to jail, just in time to see her father being arrested for shady business practices, realizing that her uncle has told the police everything about them, and that they've lost all their money. And the boy she fell in love with, the reason she pulled all this crap? Na-Ru has fallen in love with I-Da. Mi-Mi pretty much breaks after all this, and ends up being a shut-in in her uncle's house, not seeing or talking to anyone]].
* [[spoiler:Kurata]] from ''Anime/DigimonSavers'' gets an EXTREMELY well deserved one. [[spoiler:Marcus manages to get [=ShineGreymon=] to digivolve to Burst mode, after which Kurata's life goes on a major downwards spiral. His OneWingedAngel form is systematically torn apart around him and he's reduced to begging for his life. Marcus and [=ShineGreymon=] then proceed to defeat him with one punch. Not a super flashy FinishingMove, but ''one punch each''. To rub salt in the wound, all his back up plan to destroy the Digital World fails completely and results in his own death. Sure, it made things worse, but all Kurata ever saw was his plan backfire and kill him.]] Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
* In HunterXHunter, after using one of their friends to force them to throw their fights, Gon and Killua show a nasty trio of Heaven's Areana fighters no mercy. [[spoiler: Killua scares Sadansho so badly he leaves town, and Gon flattens Ghido under a giant tile before breaking his prosthetic leg. Riehvelt gets it the worst though--Killua flings him from his wheelchair and catches him with his own electric whips, and Gon scares him into fainting by stealing his whips and nearly electrocuting him at full power.]]
* Awaki's introduction in ''ACertainMagicalIndex''. One episode after she's introduced as an antagonist, she's been injured and verbally humiliated by Kuroko, forced to flee from [[TheHero Touma]] and a [[UnstoppableRage very angry]] [[ShockAndAwe Misaka]], contacts her associates only to hear them being taken down by a SWAT team, and then runs into [[TheDreaded Accelerator]]...
