* Most of the villains in the original ''Film/{{Batman}}'' franchise met pretty ignominious ends, but Max Shreck in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' probably got it the worst of all; his Conga began when the movie wasn't even close to being over! First, his hand-picked mayoral candidate, Oswald Copplepot (a.k.a. The Penguin) is exposed as a fraud via EngineeredPublicConfession and pelted with ripe vegetables by a vengeful crowd -- a fate Max himself ''barely'' avoids by [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere getting the hell out of there]]. The Penguin, burning with resentment, crashes Max's Christmas Eve gala and threatens to drag his son Chip down into the sewers along with the first-born sons of Gotham, as revenge for being abandoned by his own parents. Max is forced to beg for his son's life -- and in front of all the most influential citizens of Gotham City, no less. The Penguin takes Max hostage and locks him in a giant birdcage in his hideout, telling him that after he makes Shreck watch as the children of Gotham being thrown into a deep puddle of his company's industrial byproducts, Shreck himself will join them. When Batman foils this evil plan, Max manages to escape by stealing the key to the cage from a monkey ([[ItMakesSenseInContext don't ask]]), but then Catwoman [[note]](who has a ''major'' vendetta against Shreck because of all the crap she put up with as his secretary, not the least of which was getting pushed out a high-rise window because she knew too much about Max's illicit plans for his power plant)[[/note]] shows up, and things get ''really'' bad for the crooked businessman: she snags his leg with her bullwhip, drags him under a lake of icy cold water (messing up his perfectly coiffed hair), hauls him out by his collar, throws him into a wall, lassos him ''again'' when he tries to run away, and finally threatens to slowly bleed him to death as he pleads for mercy. Batman intervenes and stops Catwoman, but when Max tries to thank him, Batman just stiff-arms him in the face and tells him he's going to jail. Max tries to escape after shooting Batman, but Catwoman (after taking the remaining four bullets of Shreck's gun and ''surviving'') pins him against an exposed fuse box and rams her stun gun down his throat -- sending ''millions'' of volts through his body and reducing him to a blackened, steaming, eternally screaming corpse lying on the ground. It's a pretty harsh end, even for a ManipulativeBastard.
** Penguin himself deserves a mention as well; After he failed to kill Batman by sabotaging the Batmobile, the Dark Knight uses an EngineeredPublicConfession to reveal his true face to Gotham, ruining his chances to become mayor and obliterating the VillainWithGoodPublicity image he had worked the entire movie to build. He then tries to take revenge by kidnapping and killing all the children of Gotham's elite, only for Batman to stop his gang, save the children before he can even get his hands on them, and taunt him with a letter just to rub salt on the wound. Infuriated, he attempts to destroy Gotham using his pet penguins as a personal army equipped with rockets, but Batman is able to steal control of the army from him and use them to destroy most of his hideout. His gang [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandons him]], and his final fight ends up completely one-sided, with Batman throwing him in the chemical wastes of his lair using [[{{Irony}} the very same trick he used to kill the Ice Princess]]. Exhausted, he makes one final attempt to kill his opponent from behind, only to accidentally pick the ''one'' umbrella in his collection that was harmless, before dying from his wounds.
* The gauntlet of traps Kevin sets for the Wet Bandits in ''Film/HomeAlone'' [[TropeMaker arguably kicked off a trend]] in family films of the bad guys being subjected to this trope. Observe...
* ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', written by ''Home Alone'''s own John Hughes, has a few slapstick moments with Horace and Jasper as the puppies escape from the mansion, before the focus shifts to dunking on Cruella (literally). Happens again in [[Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians the sequel]].
* ''Film/TheBorrowers'': BigBad Ocious P. Potter, who conspired to steal a family's house that their aunt left to them under the guise of the will being missing, gets this in spades over the course of most of the film. Getting his face burned by the exterminator's caustic foam, being electrocuted when he tries to smash a live lightbulb with a hammer and then having the hammer fall on his head, getting covered in cheese in the bottling plant, and finally being tied up, Gulliver-style, by wires attached to a ceiling fan as an entire roomful of Borrowers taunts him... only to have them mysteriously vanish the second the police arrive to arrest him, leaving him babbling like a madman about "tiny little men". By the time we see him getting his mugshots taken, he's either learned to see the humor of the situation or completely lost his mind, depending on how you interpret his behavior.
* ''Film/MouseHunt'', [[DuelingMovies which came out the same year]], is a notable twist for having this happen to the ''protagonists'' as they try increasingly elaborate ways to catch the eponymous pest. Most of the time it's from their own schemes backfiring, Wile E. Coyote style, as the mouse escapes unscathed and unfazed. In the end, [[HeelFaceTurn they give up and accept the mouse as an ally]], inspired to repurpose their late father's worthless string factory to manufacture string cheese.
* ''Film/{{Flubber}}'', also written by Hughes, features a scene where Professor Brainard is experimenting with his flubber as the BigBad's goons are spying on him through the window. He tries applying it to a golf ball, then a bowling ball. Both rocket around the room, out the window, and into the goons' faces. And this is long before the climax.
* ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory'': White gets humiliated by his dodgeball loss, then loses ownership of his gym, then loses his friends and ends up fat.
* Subverted in ''Film/MeanGirls'' as the protagonist has a big plan to humiliate the Plastics but when it actually comes to fruition, she's awakened to the fact that even though they're popular girls, those are real people she just hurt and she kind of looks like a monster as a result.
* Tommy in ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar''. First he gets eaten alive by a giantess and his girlfriend doesn't seem to really care. Then after he survives the giantess getting destroyed, his girlfriend leaves him for a hippie and the hippie's dog relieves itself on his leg.
* Bradley Cooper's character in ''Film/WeddingCrashers'' suffers this.
* ''Film/WhatAboutBob'' has an interesting case of this as Dr. Leo Marvin doesn't specifically warrant all the misfortune unless wanting to keep a professional distance from your patients and getting a little testy when your patient breaks those boundaries counts.
* In ''Film/OutCold'', the BigBad is getting ready to transform Bull Mountain into a luxury resort when he discovers his daughter having sex with [[TheObiWannabe Pig Pen]] in a gondola cabin. It all goes downhill from there (pun intended): his presentation is crashed by a rowdy bunch of snowboarders, his employees are pelted by snowballs, one of them gets a boot literally lodged up his ass, and he is eventually thrown into a port-a-potty, which slides violently downhill and ends up in a tree.
* In the first ''Film/TheNakedGun'' movie, villain Vincent Ludwig is bitten, shot with a tranquilizer dart, falls into the parking lot from the upper deck of a baseball stadium, gets run over by a bus, flattened by a steam-roller and ''then'' has a marching-band playing "Louie Louie" tromp over him. Ed Hocken finds it horrifically tragic, since his father died the same way.
* At the end of the movie ''Film/{{UHF}}'', the BigBad R.J. Fletcher is in the middle of his plea for mercy when a street bum buys up the last few shares of Channel 62, allowing them to pay off Uncle Harvey's (the owner's) debt and save the station from Fletcher's takeover. Fletcher threatens to sue Uncle Harvey, who just brushes him off. An {{FCC}} official then walks up and reveals that he heard Fletcher's EngineeredPublicConfession and revokes his station's broadcasting license. Pamela the news reporter he had insulted earlier puts a camera on the "worthless slobbering pig" and reports on his humiliation. Then, an old lady who watched his EvilGloating on her own TV gives Fletcher a [[GroinAttack knee to the crotch]]. Finally, the bum shows up and thanks Fletcher for giving him the extremely rare and valuable penny that he then sold and used the money to buy the outstanding shares and a Rolex - the ''same one'' Fletcher had demanded his son get him earlier in the film; at this point, Fletcher starts crying. Meanwhile, just as he had done earlier, Fletcher's son gets tripped into a puddle of mud by Noodles. Weird Al said that he had to restrain himself from having Fletcher's BriefcaseFullOfMoney open over the crowd. He also notes in the commentary that he can't stand when movies build up your dislike for a character and then wimp out on their comeuppance, so he made sure Fletcher got hit as hard as possible.
* ''Film/GoodBurger'' has Ed and Dexter sneaking into Mondo Burger to retrieve some of the illegal additives they use to enlarge their burgers. Instead, Ed pours ALL of it into the meat supply, causing [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the burgers to explode and the restaurant to collapse]]. The BigBad is then arrested while Ed taunts him with an IronicEcho of his CatchPhrase.
* The "[[LovableRogue heroes]]" of ''Film/OceansThirteen'' spend the movie executing an elaborate scheme to put Bank, the villain, through a Humiliation Conga line.
* ''Film/AKnightsTale'' had the BigBad knocked off his 'high horse' in a joust and he sees the hero and all his friends looking down on him, telling him that he was tried, tested and ultimately fell short. Also a CallBack to what he said to the hero earlier in the movie.
* The best part of the SoBadItsGood movie ''Film/{{Bratz}}'' saw the AlphaBitch (and as far as the girls are concerned the BigBad) [[PieInTheFace fall into her cake]], accidentally push her GirlPosse [[SexySoakedShirt into the pool]] and then gets pushed in herself by an elephant. She then complains about how her [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday sixteenth birthday]] is ruined and gives the [[GirlPosse Four Girl Posse]] the name "Bratz." Just to add another layer of ridiculousness, it's the AlphaBitch's ''second'' Super Sweet Sixteenth party!
* A brutal conga is pulled on Albert Spica at the climax of ''Film/TheCookTheThiefHisWifeAndHerLover''. [[spoiler:To clarify the title, he's the Thief. He's killed his wife's lover by forcing a book down his throat. His wife has the cook glaze the fellow's body and cook it, then forces Albert to eat the corpse - at gunpoint (she tells him to eat the cock, although he ends up taking a piece from the side). He does so, but then vomits. At that point she shoots him.]] All this occurs in front of an audience full of people he has insulted, assaulted and victimized through the movie, including many of his own former goons.
-->"Try the cock... it's a delicacy. And you know where it's been!"
* Played straight in ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' after Alex was set free, though it might just have been karmic retribution. He ''did'' volunteer for the Ludovico experiment (failing to heed the warnings of the prison chaplain), although he had no idea what the experience would entail (namely, being conditioned to become violently ill whenever he feels horny, witnesses violence or tries to act violently, and worst of all when he hears his favorite piece of music, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony). But he certainly never intended to lose his pet snake, or for his parents to take in a boarder and allow the boarder to rent out Alex's room, and they even consider said boarder as their son. The homeless old Irishman gets a well-deserved [[TheDogBitesBack Dog Bites Back]] moment at Alex's expense, but there is particular unfairness to Alex's mistreatment at the hands of a pair of crooked cops: the cops are none other than two of Alex's former thug friends, who were responsible for sending Alex up the river in the first place!
* In ''Film/GameraVsZigra'', the enemy daikaiju is both the tool and the brains of the invading force, and has Gamera and the humans on the ropes throughout. When the time comes for Round 2, Gamera throws a rock onto Zigra's beak, not only blocking its deadly beam delivery, but causing it to fall face first into the sand. Gamera then plays his 'Bouncy Theme Song' on his fallen enemy's dorsal/spinal plates like a xylophone, and finishes by roasting the poor stupid invader slowly down to nothing. Of course, the creature having a name that sounds like either an extended-disclaimers medication or a trendy drink possibly put Zigra on this path.
* ''Film/LadyHawke''. Two StarCrossedLovers (Isabeau and Navarre) separated by an evil curse from a holy man who desired the woman are reunited in the only circumstances that could break the curse. "Look at her! Look at me! Now...look at US!" Then they meet, and touch, and the music swells and then STOPS. She walks to the evil cleric, showing and then dropping the jesses in front of him. He closes his eyes in pain. It's a short conga, though. As she walks from the dais, the evil cleric aims his staff at her like a javelin [[IfICantHaveYou "...then no man shall!"]] He's admitted to using black magic (MoralEventHorizon) ''in front of his entire church and staff'', so he's already given up everything and been direly humiliated. What's a little murder? Then, Navarre [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks hurls his sword]] and impales the BigBad. Obviously, this scene can't be completed without some bubbling last words and writhing on the sword blade.
* As the ending of ''Film/AnalyzeThis'' was too "soft" on Creator/RobertDeNiro's character [[spoiler: where he went into jail with some dignity]], in the beginning of ''Analyze That'', we find him [[spoiler: pretending to be a nutcase, singing and humiliating himself, only to run away from the people in jail who want to kill him.]] Fortunately for him, it pays off, but he doesn't get it much easier when he's back free, [[spoiler: with the police on his back, and mobsters either wanting to drag him back into the "business", or just plain kill him]]. In some way, both movies put him more or less in this trope's situation.
* ''Film/BigFatLiar'' was ''built'' on this trope. Most of the film is Jason and Kaylee pranking {{Jerkass}} producer Wolfe into admitting he stole Jason's story and turned it into a movie. When Wolf gets lucky and manages to turn the tables on the two, Wolf's whole production crew, whom he abused, mocked or exploited, come to the kids' rescue and pull off the grandfather of all humiliations. Its starts with Wolf getting picked up by his chauffeur and him acting crazy that Wolfe flags down the next passing car which happens to be driven by Jaleel White (aka [[Series/FamilyMatters Urkel]]). However, Wolfe bails on him too in the middle of the road and calls to be picked up. They send a chopper for him flown by a stuntman to head for the lot. The chopper "malfunctions" forcing the two to skydive (which obviously Wolf has no experience in, especially when he has to ''hang onto said stuntman'' as they fall. Say the least he's scared out of his mind). Wolf reaches the lot where Jason confronts him holding his precious stuffed monkey. Wolfe gives chase through the lot, at one point getting a wave of water dumped on him by an SFX expert. He eventually corners Jason and gets his monkey back, mocking Jason how [[EngineeredPublicConfession he'll never tell the truth about stealing his story]]. But, surprise, the whole thing was caught on camera (MULTIPLE cameras to be exact) and his Jerkass-ery broadcast to the whole lot including the president of the movie company he was kissing up to, the press, and Jason's parents. He's fired on the spot and the whole lot pretty much abandons him. The movie, Big Fat Liar, which he was trying so hard to sell to the president, forges on without him and becomes a huge success, with Jason credited for its creation. Wolfe, meanwhile, is left disgraced and blackballed in the film industry, and forced to work as a [[BadJobWorseUniform party clown]]... whose first job is to a man he crashed into earlier in the film. The film ends with said man calling his son to "show him your [[GroinAttack nutcracker]]!"
* A really drawn-out one occurs in the Creator/AdamSandler comedy ''Film/BillyMadison''. Eric, the CorruptCorporateExecutive who has plotted to usurp ownership of the Madison hotel chain from Billy, begins to suffer a Conga during the "Academic Decathlon" with Billy. He burns a pie in the bake-off competition, [[ManOnFire and the fire quickly spreads]] much to Billy's amusement. Then, after defeating Billy in a foot race, he is angrily shoved over a bench - and his skimpy gym shorts fly up to reveal his genitalia to all the onlookers. Finally, during the last round of the competition, after being asked an ironic question by the moderator about "Business Ethics", Eric stammers nervously (as Billy's fans in the auditorium loudly boo him) before suffering a VillainousBreakdown in which he pulls a gun and screams: "THAT QUESTION WAS UNFAIR! I DEMAND A NEW QUESTION!" The school principal (who moonlights as a professional wrestler) then storms the stage in his "lucha libre" costume and elbow-drops Eric - but the villain recovers quickly. [[LaughingMad Laughing maniacally]], he tries to shoot Billy's girlfriend just to show what he's become, but is foiled spectacularly when he is [[ShotInTheAss shot in the butt]] by a lipsticked serial killer. (Don't even ask.) The movie's conclusion shows him bitterly watching Billy's graduation ceremony while wearing bandages, crutches, and a pelvic cast (though it could be argued that his is partly a case of KarmaHoudini, since it's never implied that he will be jailed for his criminal deeds).
* Sandler made it happen again at the climax of ''Film/HappyGilmore'', when JerkJock golf pro Shooter [=McGavin=] is defeated in the big tournament by Happy in a stunning upset. He experiences an ''epic'' VillainousBreakdown, complete with a BigNo and a disgraceful display of poor sportsmanship when he steals Happy's championship jacket. His final scene in the movie shows him desperately trying to don the jacket while [[ChasedByAngryNatives running from a large, angry mob]]; it's heavily implied that [[DudeNotFunny he gets beaten to death]].
* Sandler again in ''Film/BigDaddy'' (Adam Sandler really loves to put this trope into his movies), this time with a woman as the victim. Snooty New York City career woman Vanessa (who is really more of a [[BreakTheHaughty Haughty]] than a villain) decides that Sonny Koufax (Sandler) would make an irresponsible husband [[StrawmanHasAPoint (and she's somewhat justified in thinking so, at least at first)]] and tells him that she's going away for a while to visit her mother; in reality, she leaves him forever for Sid, a widowed grandfather who supposedly has a "five-year plan." About a year and half later, all his friends take Sonny (now an ambitious lawyer) to a Hooter's restaurant in Staten Island for his birthday....and he is shocked to find Vanessa [[BurgerFool working there as a waitress]]! Vanessa [[DeerInTheHeadlights freezes in terror]] as all her former friends ogle her in her [[BadJobWorseUniform skimpy "owl" tank top and orange short-shorts]]. "What happened to Sid's five-year plan?" asks Sonny. That's when Sid himself looks over at the gang from his place at the grill (where he is working as a short-order cook) and waves to them with a ridiculously stupid grin on his face; Sonny and his friends grin and wave back. Sonny's former foster son, Julian, points to Sid and asks: "Isn't that the guy with the old balls?" - which causes ''everybody'' to laugh. Vanessa finally can't stand it anymore, and runs away.
* ''Film/TradingPlaces'' has this first happen to Louis Winthorpe III. At the end, the Duke brothers.
* The end of ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'' has King Richard imprison Prince John in the Tower of London, make him part of the tour, and order that all lavatories in the Kingdom be referred to as "Johns." Meanwhile, the Sheriff of Rottingham is mocked at his wedding (turns out his first name is "Mervyn"), fails to consummate with his "wife" due to her chastity belt, is thoroughly bested in a sword fight with Robin, is stabbed ''accidentally'' when he runs into Robin's sword while he's sheathing it, has to marry [[AbhorrentAdmirer Latrine]] in return for saving his life, and is last seen being dragged off by her while screaming that [[FateWorseThanDeath he's changed his mind]].
* ''Flesh Gordon'' deserves a mention for a borderline case: Wang The Perverted and his courtiers engaging in a (naked) literal Humiliation/Gloating Triumph Conga. "FLESH - GORDON - IS - DEAD!" (boomp, boomp...)
* Living out this trope is a primary function of at least three different generations of Tannens in ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' (two of them ending up in manure), thanks to Marty [=McFly=].
* A very satisfactory one happens to the Trunchbull in Danny De Vito's version of ''Film/{{Matilda}}''. Although being frightened half to death by the message on the blackboard is from the book, the film also adds her being pelted with erasers, spun around at super speed, chased into the hallway by telekinetically thrown food, and finally having the whole school chase her out with food and water balloons (and some LaserGuidedKarma chocolate cake).
* Happens to the egotistical ballet dancer Roberto Volare in ''Film/BrainDonors'' during his big premiere, in front of hundreds of spectators.
* In ''Film/ThePunisher2004'', when Frank Castle finally confronts Howard Saint he kills his remaining son, reveals that he tricked Saint into killing his own wife and best friend, shoots him, and ties him up to be dragged by a car into a parking lot filled with explosives in which Saint is set on fire before a being crushed by flaming debris. It says something that shooting him was probably the least painful thing Castle did to him.
* After his plan to destroy Gotham fails spectacularly, the Joker from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' is thrown off a building and lassooed by Batman's batcord, leaving him dangling by the ankle. MagnificentBastard that he is, The Joker still gets one up on Batman by revealing his EvilPlan.
* A rare heroic example occurs in ''Film/{{Thor}}'' where the titular character run over by the same car twice, [[{{Irony}} tasered]] and sedated. Not to mention [[BroughtDownToNormal being stripped of his powers]] and stuck in a mortal form. And when [[spoiler: he reaches {{Mjolnir}} and is unable to wield it]], he goes through a HeroicBSOD. Later, [[spoiler: when Loki pays him a visit and lies to him that their father was dead and he couldn't return to Asgard]], he nearly goes catatonic. However, all of this taught Thor humility and how to be less impulsive, ultimately making him a hero.
* ''Film/IReallyHateMyJob'': One of the characters sees working as a waitress as this, comparing it to having to stand up in an airplane and walk down the aisle to use the bathroom, with everyone knowing you're about to void your bowels.
* Salim in ''Film/SlumdogMillionaire'' bullies the other children so his brother gets him back by finding the hottest chili peppers and putting them on a very sensitive area. Salim wakes up in agony and has to run to the shower naked and hose himself down frantically while the other children chant "chillies on his willy!"
* The latter two-thirds of the film ''Johnny Handsome'' is this.
-->'''Vic Dumask:''' I s'pose you coulda shot Rafe by now...\\
'''John Mitchell:''' Too easy.\\
'''Vic Dumask:''' No, you wanna take him through the whoooole dance. Mikey'd o' liked that.
* ''Film/EverAfter'': Rodmilla and Marguerite get it in the end.
* Dean Vernon Wormer, the college town's corrupt Mayor, and Omega House and all their supporters (not to mention [[MoralDissonance more than a few innocent bystanders]]) get an extravagant collective Conga at the end of ''Film/AnimalHouse'' - one of them punched out and knocked off a parade float, another scooped up by a giant papier-mache hand and carried off down the street, another literally trampled by a crowd into a human pancake, a female Omega stripped to her underwear, and another female Omega kidnapped by John "Bluto" Blutarski himself (although her facial expression at the end implies she found this not so bad after all - they actually eventually get married). Wormer and the Mayor themselves (along with their wives) are catapulted into a pile of rubbish by Delta House's dreaded "Deathmobile," and the Mayor sees his automobile showroom smashed up by part of a runaway float. This results in several hilarious {{Villainous Breakdown}}s, including Kevin Bacon's famous "Remain calm. All is well. ALL IS WELL!".
* In ''Film/JumpingTheBroom'', Jason and Sabrina's wedding rehearsal dinner is this. It all starts when Jason's mother Pam takes over the blessing of the food and uses it to insult Sabrina's family. Pam finds out that they're not doing the electric slide or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_broom jumping the broom]] (a tradition dating back to slavery) at the wedding. Sabrina's mother then mentions that her family never were slaves so that's not their history. ''Then'' Sabrina's aunt walks in and starts singing "[[Music/MarvinGaye Sexual Healing]]".
* ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' ends with one of these for Loki, fueled by the cast's and audience's simultaneous ire over his [[spoiler: murder of Coulson.]] In order, and in rather quick succession he [[spoiler: a) gets blasted through a wall by a dying Coulson, b) gets verbally bitchslapped by Tony c) gets made a fool of when his attempt to brainwash Tony fails ignominiously (and Tony makes a crack about having "performance issues") d) gets knocked on his ass by Tony with a AndThisIsFor Phil, e) gloats at Clint by catching one of his arrows, only for the arrow to explode and knock him flying, f) tries to invoke a WhoDares and instead gets a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown thorough beat-down]] from an irate [[TheHulk Hulk]] who [[MetronomicManMashing smashes him around like a rag doll and leaves him stunned and whimpering in a crater]] before calling him a "Puny God", g) looks up from where he's crawling painfully on the floor to see the Avengers standing over him and glowering at him like a naughty schoolkid, with the man he mind-controlled and used to kill dozens of people getting the honors of pointing an arrow right in his face, and h) is last seen BoundAndGagged and being escorted by Thor to face judgement in Asgard.]] The conga is also nicely foreshadowed by showing him getting suckered by Natasha's [[GuileHero act]] earlier in the movie.
* Towards the end of ''Film/RuthlessPeople'', Sam Stone gets arrested for his wife's murder, then the attack dog he got to eat his wife's poodle becomes friends with the poodle, he has to mortgage everything he owns in order to raise the ransom to get his wife back so he can be cleared of the murder charge. Finally, when he finds out she's alive, she beats the crap out of him and throws him off a pier.
* Colin Firth's school inspector gets a proper full on comic one in the updated ''Film/StTrinians'' film, including falling foul of some school-grown psychedelic drugs, blundering into a tank of fire ants and literally being caught with his trousers down (trying to remove said ants) in the 'posh totty' clique's dressing room, resulting in him being thrown out the window into a water tank just in time for an ActorAllusion. The entire conga climaxes with him waking up with his old flame, the school's headmistress (played by Rupert Everett in drag impersonating Camilla Parker-Bowles) and appearing half naked at a window in front of the nation's press who had arrived to report the schoolgirls' recovery of TheGirlWithThePearlEarring by Vermeer.
* Happens to Chucky in the original ''Film/ChildsPlay'' movies. He gets more and more damaged and beaten during each climax before finally getting killed. His death in the second particularly deserves special mention, in which he, in order, loses a hand, then his legs, gets mangled, boiled alive, and then has his head explode.
* Nearly all of ''Film/{{Pusher}} 2'' has Tonny (played by Mads Mikkelsen) suffer one indignity after another.
* Dealt to Ed Rooney in ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' over the course of the day.
* ''Film/DrinkingBuddies'': Despite being the male lead, at the finale of the movie, Luke [[spoiler: gets a serious cut on his hand helping Kate, gets into a fight with a stranger that doesn't go well, has to call on his coworkers whom does doesn't like to help, has Kate bail on their plans to get dinner, and then finds out his long-term girlfriend kissed another guy.]] He takes it very well, though.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' Pitch Black not only discovers that the hero he [[DisneyDeath killed]] is revived and so powerful he gets his ass totally whooped, but also he gains his power from the fear of children, whom emboldened by The Guardians are not only not afraid of him, but even start pelting snowballs at him, then realizing he has no power left he becomes scared, which his own minions sense and HeelFaceTurn on him.
* In ''Friday After Next'': Craig and Day-Day found the Robber Santa Claus that stole their rent money and stuff in the latter's shack. First, they beat him up and hit him with his Christmas Tree a few times forcing the thief to flee. He managed to hide in a room on the second floor in a house only to get beaten up some thugs that seem to have gotten rid of the security guards before the two protagonists were hired and thrown out the window and onto the ground. Robber Santa Claus managed to get back up and limped away, but was hit by Pinky's limo and was left on the ground, because Pinky didn't want to get sued. Craig and Day-Day finally caught to the thief while the latter's unconscious and twitching body to say he got knocked out. The last we saw of him, he was tied up on the roof of his house with Christmas lights for the police to arrest him while the heroes went back to their apartment with their stuff.
* Inverted in ''Film/{{Nine to Five}}''. Just as Mr. Hart (Dabney Coleman) is about to throw the heroines in jail for kidnapping him, the Boss of Bosses makes a surprise visit to his floor, to see all the innovations they had added in his name -- plans Hart knows nothing about, and would have rejected. The ladies proceed to take the Big Boss on a tour of the floor, giving Hart all the credit for everything they themselves had actually done, as other employees showered him with praise. But Hart is being shown the truth -- every idea he would have opposed worked, and the office actually ran better without him around. At the end, he's given a promotion...not to the top floor like he wanted, but to head their operations in Brazil. And he can't even take revenge on them; having them arrested would reveal the truth, making him a laughing stock.
* ''Film/VetHard'': Milo, the mean criminal with [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk no redeeming qualities]] who has been vexing main character Bennie throughout the movie, in an almost WhatAnIdiot moment insists on jumping into the kidnapped ambulance a by then clearly on a berserk suicide mission Mast is driving towards the police. He fails to stop Mast, then upon realizing he won't be able to stop Mast and is almost driving into the police wagons, Milo gets a big OhCrap expression on his face, but it's too late - the police first thoroughly shoot an absurd amount of bullets into Milo and Mast, and then the ambulance topples over, explodes and burns down. DyingMomentOfAwesome for Mast, HumiliationConga for Milo.
* ''Film/AliGIndahouse'': After his defeat, the evil deputy Prime Minister is forced to dress in a hooker outfit and dance for Ali G.
* In ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'', Annie, the protagonist, suffers two of these. At the beginning of the movie: she still hooks up with her ex-boyfriend who calls her [[FriendsWithBenefits whenever he wants to have sex with her]]; her bakery went under, leaving her bankrupt; she lives with two [[IncestSubtext wierdo roomates;]] works a job at a jewelry shop, [[SoulSuckingRetailJob which she hates;]] plus, she keeps getting pulled over because taillights don't work. In the second act of the movie: Annie has a fight with her best friend, leaving her un-invited to the wedding; her car gets rear ended, [[TheAllegedCar because of the non-working taillights, and the car refuses to restart;]] the cop that kept pulling her over, whom she was dating, dumped her after she filed the accident report; the ex-boyfriend ditched her in the middle of the road [[AmIJustAToyToYou after she told him off,]] only for him to drive off while telling her [[ReallyGetsAround he's got other women he can sleep with;]] she gets into an argument with her boss, who tells her that he's had enough, and fires her on the spot; finally, the roommates kick her out of their house [[BasementDweller forcing Annie to move back in with her mom.]]
-->'''Annie:''' Mom, remember when I told you I hit rock bottom? That wasn't the bottom.

* Most of the villains in the original ''Film/{{Batman}}'' franchise met pretty ignominious ends, but Max Shreck in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' probably got it the worst of all; his Conga began when the movie wasn't even close to being over! First, his hand-picked mayoral candidate, Oswald Copplepot (a.k.a. The Penguin) is exposed as a fraud via EngineeredPublicConfession and pelted with ripe vegetables by a vengeful crowd -- a fate Max himself ''barely'' avoids by [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere getting the hell out of there]]. The Penguin, burning with resentment, crashes Max's Christmas Eve gala and threatens to drag his son Chip down into the sewers along with the first-born sons of Gotham, as revenge for being abandoned by his own parents. Max is forced to beg for his son's life -- and in front of all the most influential citizens of Gotham City, no less. The Penguin takes Max hostage and locks him in a giant birdcage in his hideout, telling him that after he makes Shreck watch as the children of Gotham being thrown into a deep puddle of his company's industrial byproducts, Shreck himself will join them. When Batman foils this evil plan, Max manages to escape by stealing the key to the cage from a monkey ([[ItMakesSenseInContext don't ask]]), but then Catwoman [[note]](who has a ''major'' vendetta against Shreck because of all the crap she put up with as his secretary, not the least of which was getting pushed out a high-rise window because she knew too much about Max's illicit plans for his power plant)[[/note]] shows up, and things get ''really'' bad for the crooked businessman: she snags his leg with her bullwhip, drags him under a lake of icy cold water (messing up his perfectly coiffed hair), hauls him out by his collar, throws him into a wall, lassos him ''again'' when he tries to run away, and finally threatens to slowly bleed him to death as he pleads for mercy. Batman intervenes and stops Catwoman, but when Max tries to thank him, Batman just stiff-arms him in the face and tells him he's going to jail. Max tries to escape after shooting Batman, but Catwoman (after taking the remaining four bullets of Shreck's gun and ''surviving'') pins him against an exposed fuse box and rams her stun gun down his throat -- sending ''millions'' of volts through his body and reducing him to a blackened, steaming, eternally screaming corpse lying on the ground. It's a pretty harsh end, even for a ManipulativeBastard.
** Penguin himself deserves a mention as well; After he failed to kill Batman by sabotaging the Batmobile, the Dark Knight uses an EngineeredPublicConfession to reveal his true face to Gotham, ruining his chances to become mayor and obliterating the VillainWithGoodPublicity image he had worked the entire movie to build. He then tries to take revenge by kidnapping and killing all the children of Gotham's elite, only for Batman to stop his gang, save the children before he can even get his hands on them, and taunt him with a letter just to rub salt on the wound. Infuriated, he attempts to destroy Gotham using his pet penguins as a personal army equipped with rockets, but Batman is able to steal control of the army from him and use them to destroy most of his hideout. His gang [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandons him]], and his final fight ends up completely one-sided, with Batman throwing him in the chemical wastes of his lair using [[{{Irony}} the very same trick he used to kill the Ice Princess]]. Exhausted, he makes one final attempt to kill his opponent from behind, only to accidentally pick the ''one'' umbrella in his collection that was harmless, before dying from his wounds.
* The gauntlet of traps Kevin sets for the Wet Bandits in ''Film/HomeAlone'' [[TropeMaker arguably kicked off a trend]] in family films of the bad guys being subjected to this trope. Observe...
* ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', written by ''Home Alone'''s own John Hughes, has a few slapstick moments with Horace and Jasper as the puppies escape from the mansion, before the focus shifts to dunking on Cruella (literally). Happens again in [[Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians the sequel]].
* ''Film/TheBorrowers'': BigBad Ocious P. Potter, who conspired to steal a family's house that their aunt left to them under the guise of the will being missing, gets this in spades over the course of most of the film. Getting his face burned by the exterminator's caustic foam, being electrocuted when he tries to smash a live lightbulb with a hammer and then having the hammer fall on his head, getting covered in cheese in the bottling plant, and finally being tied up, Gulliver-style, by wires attached to a ceiling fan as an entire roomful of Borrowers taunts him... only to have them mysteriously vanish the second the police arrive to arrest him, leaving him babbling like a madman about "tiny little men". By the time we see him getting his mugshots taken, he's either learned to see the humor of the situation or completely lost his mind, depending on how you interpret his behavior.
* ''Film/MouseHunt'', [[DuelingMovies which came out the same year]], is a notable twist for having this happen to the ''protagonists'' as they try increasingly elaborate ways to catch the eponymous pest. Most of the time it's from their own schemes backfiring, Wile E. Coyote style, as the mouse escapes unscathed and unfazed. In the end, [[HeelFaceTurn they give up and accept the mouse as an ally]], inspired to repurpose their late father's worthless string factory to manufacture string cheese.
* ''Film/{{Flubber}}'', also written by Hughes, features a scene where Professor Brainard is experimenting with his flubber as the BigBad's goons are spying on him through the window. He tries applying it to a golf ball, then a bowling ball. Both rocket around the room, out the window, and into the goons' faces. And this is long before the climax.
* ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory'': White gets humiliated by his dodgeball loss, then loses ownership of his gym, then loses his friends and ends up fat.
* Subverted in ''Film/MeanGirls'' as the protagonist has a big plan to humiliate the Plastics but when it actually comes to fruition, she's awakened to the fact that even though they're popular girls, those are real people she just hurt and she kind of looks like a monster as a result.
* Tommy in ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar''. First he gets eaten alive by a giantess and his girlfriend doesn't seem to really care. Then after he survives the giantess getting destroyed, his girlfriend leaves him for a hippie and the hippie's dog relieves itself on his leg.
* Bradley Cooper's character in ''Film/WeddingCrashers'' suffers this.
* ''Film/WhatAboutBob'' has an interesting case of this as Dr. Leo Marvin doesn't specifically warrant all the misfortune unless wanting to keep a professional distance from your patients and getting a little testy when your patient breaks those boundaries counts.
* In ''Film/OutCold'', the BigBad is getting ready to transform Bull Mountain into a luxury resort when he discovers his daughter having sex with [[TheObiWannabe Pig Pen]] in a gondola cabin. It all goes downhill from there (pun intended): his presentation is crashed by a rowdy bunch of snowboarders, his employees are pelted by snowballs, one of them gets a boot literally lodged up his ass, and he is eventually thrown into a port-a-potty, which slides violently downhill and ends up in a tree.
* In the first ''Film/TheNakedGun'' movie, villain Vincent Ludwig is bitten, shot with a tranquilizer dart, falls into the parking lot from the upper deck of a baseball stadium, gets run over by a bus, flattened by a steam-roller and ''then'' has a marching-band playing "Louie Louie" tromp over him. Ed Hocken finds it horrifically tragic, since his father died the same way.
* At the end of the movie ''Film/{{UHF}}'', the BigBad R.J. Fletcher is in the middle of his plea for mercy when a street bum buys up the last few shares of Channel 62, allowing them to pay off Uncle Harvey's (the owner's) debt and save the station from Fletcher's takeover. Fletcher threatens to sue Uncle Harvey, who just brushes him off. An {{FCC}} official then walks up and reveals that he heard Fletcher's EngineeredPublicConfession and revokes his station's broadcasting license. Pamela the news reporter he had insulted earlier puts a camera on the "worthless slobbering pig" and reports on his humiliation. Then, an old lady who watched his EvilGloating on her own TV gives Fletcher a [[GroinAttack knee to the crotch]]. Finally, the bum shows up and thanks Fletcher for giving him the extremely rare and valuable penny that he then sold and used the money to buy the outstanding shares and a Rolex - the ''same one'' Fletcher had demanded his son get him earlier in the film; at this point, Fletcher starts crying. Meanwhile, just as he had done earlier, Fletcher's son gets tripped into a puddle of mud by Noodles. Weird Al said that he had to restrain himself from having Fletcher's BriefcaseFullOfMoney open over the crowd. He also notes in the commentary that he can't stand when movies build up your dislike for a character and then wimp out on their comeuppance, so he made sure Fletcher got hit as hard as possible.
* ''Film/GoodBurger'' has Ed and Dexter sneaking into Mondo Burger to retrieve some of the illegal additives they use to enlarge their burgers. Instead, Ed pours ALL of it into the meat supply, causing [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the burgers to explode and the restaurant to collapse]]. The BigBad is then arrested while Ed taunts him with an IronicEcho of his CatchPhrase.
* The "[[LovableRogue heroes]]" of ''Film/OceansThirteen'' spend the movie executing an elaborate scheme to put Bank, the villain, through a Humiliation Conga line.
* ''Film/AKnightsTale'' had the BigBad knocked off his 'high horse' in a joust and he sees the hero and all his friends looking down on him, telling him that he was tried, tested and ultimately fell short. Also a CallBack to what he said to the hero earlier in the movie.
* The best part of the SoBadItsGood movie ''Film/{{Bratz}}'' saw the AlphaBitch (and as far as the girls are concerned the BigBad) [[PieInTheFace fall into her cake]], accidentally push her GirlPosse [[SexySoakedShirt into the pool]] and then gets pushed in herself by an elephant. She then complains about how her [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday sixteenth birthday]] is ruined and gives the [[GirlPosse Four Girl Posse]] the name "Bratz." Just to add another layer of ridiculousness, it's the AlphaBitch's ''second'' Super Sweet Sixteenth party!
* A brutal conga is pulled on Albert Spica at the climax of ''Film/TheCookTheThiefHisWifeAndHerLover''. [[spoiler:To clarify the title, he's the Thief. He's killed his wife's lover by forcing a book down his throat. His wife has the cook glaze the fellow's body and cook it, then forces Albert to eat the corpse - at gunpoint (she tells him to eat the cock, although he ends up taking a piece from the side). He does so, but then vomits. At that point she shoots him.]] All this occurs in front of an audience full of people he has insulted, assaulted and victimized through the movie, including many of his own former goons.
-->"Try the cock... it's a delicacy. And you know where it's been!"
* Played straight in ''Film/AClockworkOrange'' after Alex was set free, though it might just have been karmic retribution. He ''did'' volunteer for the Ludovico experiment (failing to heed the warnings of the prison chaplain), although he had no idea what the experience would entail (namely, being conditioned to become violently ill whenever he feels horny, witnesses violence or tries to act violently, and worst of all when he hears his favorite piece of music, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony). But he certainly never intended to lose his pet snake, or for his parents to take in a boarder and allow the boarder to rent out Alex's room, and they even consider said boarder as their son. The homeless old Irishman gets a well-deserved [[TheDogBitesBack Dog Bites Back]] moment at Alex's expense, but there is particular unfairness to Alex's mistreatment at the hands of a pair of crooked cops: the cops are none other than two of Alex's former thug friends, who were responsible for sending Alex up the river in the first place!
* In ''Film/GameraVsZigra'', the enemy daikaiju is both the tool and the brains of the invading force, and has Gamera and the humans on the ropes throughout. When the time comes for Round 2, Gamera throws a rock onto Zigra's beak, not only blocking its deadly beam delivery, but causing it to fall face first into the sand. Gamera then plays his 'Bouncy Theme Song' on his fallen enemy's dorsal/spinal plates like a xylophone, and finishes by roasting the poor stupid invader slowly down to nothing. Of course, the creature having a name that sounds like either an extended-disclaimers medication or a trendy drink possibly put Zigra on this path.
* ''Film/LadyHawke''. Two StarCrossedLovers (Isabeau and Navarre) separated by an evil curse from a holy man who desired the woman are reunited in the only circumstances that could break the curse. "Look at her! Look at me! Now...look at US!" Then they meet, and touch, and the music swells and then STOPS. She walks to the evil cleric, showing and then dropping the jesses in front of him. He closes his eyes in pain. It's a short conga, though. As she walks from the dais, the evil cleric aims his staff at her like a javelin [[IfICantHaveYou "...then no man shall!"]] He's admitted to using black magic (MoralEventHorizon) ''in front of his entire church and staff'', so he's already given up everything and been direly humiliated. What's a little murder? Then, Navarre [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks hurls his sword]] and impales the BigBad. Obviously, this scene can't be completed without some bubbling last words and writhing on the sword blade.
* As the ending of ''Film/AnalyzeThis'' was too "soft" on Creator/RobertDeNiro's character [[spoiler: where he went into jail with some dignity]], in the beginning of ''Analyze That'', we find him [[spoiler: pretending to be a nutcase, singing and humiliating himself, only to run away from the people in jail who want to kill him.]] Fortunately for him, it pays off, but he doesn't get it much easier when he's back free, [[spoiler: with the police on his back, and mobsters either wanting to drag him back into the "business", or just plain kill him]]. In some way, both movies put him more or less in this trope's situation.
* ''Film/BigFatLiar'' was ''built'' on this trope. Most of the film is Jason and Kaylee pranking {{Jerkass}} producer Wolfe into admitting he stole Jason's story and turned it into a movie. When Wolf gets lucky and manages to turn the tables on the two, Wolf's whole production crew, whom he abused, mocked or exploited, come to the kids' rescue and pull off the grandfather of all humiliations. Its starts with Wolf getting picked up by his chauffeur and him acting crazy that Wolfe flags down the next passing car which happens to be driven by Jaleel White (aka [[Series/FamilyMatters Urkel]]). However, Wolfe bails on him too in the middle of the road and calls to be picked up. They send a chopper for him flown by a stuntman to head for the lot. The chopper "malfunctions" forcing the two to skydive (which obviously Wolf has no experience in, especially when he has to ''hang onto said stuntman'' as they fall. Say the least he's scared out of his mind). Wolf reaches the lot where Jason confronts him holding his precious stuffed monkey. Wolfe gives chase through the lot, at one point getting a wave of water dumped on him by an SFX expert. He eventually corners Jason and gets his monkey back, mocking Jason how [[EngineeredPublicConfession he'll never tell the truth about stealing his story]]. But, surprise, the whole thing was caught on camera (MULTIPLE cameras to be exact) and his Jerkass-ery broadcast to the whole lot including the president of the movie company he was kissing up to, the press, and Jason's parents. He's fired on the spot and the whole lot pretty much abandons him. The movie, Big Fat Liar, which he was trying so hard to sell to the president, forges on without him and becomes a huge success, with Jason credited for its creation. Wolfe, meanwhile, is left disgraced and blackballed in the film industry, and forced to work as a [[BadJobWorseUniform party clown]]... whose first job is to a man he crashed into earlier in the film. The film ends with said man calling his son to "show him your [[GroinAttack nutcracker]]!"
* A really drawn-out one occurs in the Creator/AdamSandler comedy ''Film/BillyMadison''. Eric, the CorruptCorporateExecutive who has plotted to usurp ownership of the Madison hotel chain from Billy, begins to suffer a Conga during the "Academic Decathlon" with Billy. He burns a pie in the bake-off competition, [[ManOnFire and the fire quickly spreads]] much to Billy's amusement. Then, after defeating Billy in a foot race, he is angrily shoved over a bench - and his skimpy gym shorts fly up to reveal his genitalia to all the onlookers. Finally, during the last round of the competition, after being asked an ironic question by the moderator about "Business Ethics", Eric stammers nervously (as Billy's fans in the auditorium loudly boo him) before suffering a VillainousBreakdown in which he pulls a gun and screams: "THAT QUESTION WAS UNFAIR! I DEMAND A NEW QUESTION!" The school principal (who moonlights as a professional wrestler) then storms the stage in his "lucha libre" costume and elbow-drops Eric - but the villain recovers quickly. [[LaughingMad Laughing maniacally]], he tries to shoot Billy's girlfriend just to show what he's become, but is foiled spectacularly when he is [[ShotInTheAss shot in the butt]] by a lipsticked serial killer. (Don't even ask.) The movie's conclusion shows him bitterly watching Billy's graduation ceremony while wearing bandages, crutches, and a pelvic cast (though it could be argued that his is partly a case of KarmaHoudini, since it's never implied that he will be jailed for his criminal deeds).
* Sandler made it happen again at the climax of ''Film/HappyGilmore'', when JerkJock golf pro Shooter [=McGavin=] is defeated in the big tournament by Happy in a stunning upset. He experiences an ''epic'' VillainousBreakdown, complete with a BigNo and a disgraceful display of poor sportsmanship when he steals Happy's championship jacket. His final scene in the movie shows him desperately trying to don the jacket while [[ChasedByAngryNatives running from a large, angry mob]]; it's heavily implied that [[DudeNotFunny he gets beaten to death]].
* Sandler again in ''Film/BigDaddy'' (Adam Sandler really loves to put this trope into his movies), this time with a woman as the victim. Snooty New York City career woman Vanessa (who is really more of a [[BreakTheHaughty Haughty]] than a villain) decides that Sonny Koufax (Sandler) would make an irresponsible husband [[StrawmanHasAPoint (and she's somewhat justified in thinking so, at least at first)]] and tells him that she's going away for a while to visit her mother; in reality, she leaves him forever for Sid, a widowed grandfather who supposedly has a "five-year plan." About a year and half later, all his friends take Sonny (now an ambitious lawyer) to a Hooter's restaurant in Staten Island for his birthday....and he is shocked to find Vanessa [[BurgerFool working there as a waitress]]! Vanessa [[DeerInTheHeadlights freezes in terror]] as all her former friends ogle her in her [[BadJobWorseUniform skimpy "owl" tank top and orange short-shorts]]. "What happened to Sid's five-year plan?" asks Sonny. That's when Sid himself looks over at the gang from his place at the grill (where he is working as a short-order cook) and waves to them with a ridiculously stupid grin on his face; Sonny and his friends grin and wave back. Sonny's former foster son, Julian, points to Sid and asks: "Isn't that the guy with the old balls?" - which causes ''everybody'' to laugh. Vanessa finally can't stand it anymore, and runs away.
* ''Film/TradingPlaces'' has this first happen to Louis Winthorpe III. At the end, the Duke brothers.
* The end of ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'' has King Richard imprison Prince John in the Tower of London, make him part of the tour, and order that all lavatories in the Kingdom be referred to as "Johns." Meanwhile, the Sheriff of Rottingham is mocked at his wedding (turns out his first name is "Mervyn"), fails to consummate with his "wife" due to her chastity belt, is thoroughly bested in a sword fight with Robin, is stabbed ''accidentally'' when he runs into Robin's sword while he's sheathing it, has to marry [[AbhorrentAdmirer Latrine]] in return for saving his life, and is last seen being dragged off by her while screaming that [[FateWorseThanDeath he's changed his mind]].
* ''Flesh Gordon'' deserves a mention for a borderline case: Wang The Perverted and his courtiers engaging in a (naked) literal Humiliation/Gloating Triumph Conga. "FLESH - GORDON - IS - DEAD!" (boomp, boomp...)
* Living out this trope is a primary function of at least three different generations of Tannens in ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' (two of them ending up in manure), thanks to Marty [=McFly=].
* A very satisfactory one happens to the Trunchbull in Danny De Vito's version of ''Film/{{Matilda}}''. Although being frightened half to death by the message on the blackboard is from the book, the film also adds her being pelted with erasers, spun around at super speed, chased into the hallway by telekinetically thrown food, and finally having the whole school chase her out with food and water balloons (and some LaserGuidedKarma chocolate cake).
* Happens to the egotistical ballet dancer Roberto Volare in ''Film/BrainDonors'' during his big premiere, in front of hundreds of spectators.
* In ''Film/ThePunisher2004'', when Frank Castle finally confronts Howard Saint he kills his remaining son, reveals that he tricked Saint into killing his own wife and best friend, shoots him, and ties him up to be dragged by a car into a parking lot filled with explosives in which Saint is set on fire before a being crushed by flaming debris. It says something that shooting him was probably the least painful thing Castle did to him.
* After his plan to destroy Gotham fails spectacularly, the Joker from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' is thrown off a building and lassooed by Batman's batcord, leaving him dangling by the ankle. MagnificentBastard that he is, The Joker still gets one up on Batman by revealing his EvilPlan.
* A rare heroic example occurs in ''Film/{{Thor}}'' where the titular character run over by the same car twice, [[{{Irony}} tasered]] and sedated. Not to mention [[BroughtDownToNormal being stripped of his powers]] and stuck in a mortal form. And when [[spoiler: he reaches {{Mjolnir}} and is unable to wield it]], he goes through a HeroicBSOD. Later, [[spoiler: when Loki pays him a visit and lies to him that their father was dead and he couldn't return to Asgard]], he nearly goes catatonic. However, all of this taught Thor humility and how to be less impulsive, ultimately making him a hero.
* ''Film/IReallyHateMyJob'': One of the characters sees working as a waitress as this, comparing it to having to stand up in an airplane and walk down the aisle to use the bathroom, with everyone knowing you're about to void your bowels.
* Salim in ''Film/SlumdogMillionaire'' bullies the other children so his brother gets him back by finding the hottest chili peppers and putting them on a very sensitive area. Salim wakes up in agony and has to run to the shower naked and hose himself down frantically while the other children chant "chillies on his willy!"
* The latter two-thirds of the film ''Johnny Handsome'' is this.
-->'''Vic Dumask:''' I s'pose you coulda shot Rafe by now...\\
'''John Mitchell:''' Too easy.\\
'''Vic Dumask:''' No, you wanna take him through the whoooole dance. Mikey'd o' liked that.
* ''Film/EverAfter'': Rodmilla and Marguerite get it in the end.
* Dean Vernon Wormer, the college town's corrupt Mayor, and Omega House and all their supporters (not to mention [[MoralDissonance more than a few innocent bystanders]]) get an extravagant collective Conga at the end of ''Film/AnimalHouse'' - one of them punched out and knocked off a parade float, another scooped up by a giant papier-mache hand and carried off down the street, another literally trampled by a crowd into a human pancake, a female Omega stripped to her underwear, and another female Omega kidnapped by John "Bluto" Blutarski himself (although her facial expression at the end implies she found this not so bad after all - they actually eventually get married). Wormer and the Mayor themselves (along with their wives) are catapulted into a pile of rubbish by Delta House's dreaded "Deathmobile," and the Mayor sees his automobile showroom smashed up by part of a runaway float. This results in several hilarious {{Villainous Breakdown}}s, including Kevin Bacon's famous "Remain calm. All is well. ALL IS WELL!".
* In ''Film/JumpingTheBroom'', Jason and Sabrina's wedding rehearsal dinner is this. It all starts when Jason's mother Pam takes over the blessing of the food and uses it to insult Sabrina's family. Pam finds out that they're not doing the electric slide or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_broom jumping the broom]] (a tradition dating back to slavery) at the wedding. Sabrina's mother then mentions that her family never were slaves so that's not their history. ''Then'' Sabrina's aunt walks in and starts singing "[[Music/MarvinGaye Sexual Healing]]".
* ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' ends with one of these for Loki, fueled by the cast's and audience's simultaneous ire over his [[spoiler: murder of Coulson.]] In order, and in rather quick succession he [[spoiler: a) gets blasted through a wall by a dying Coulson, b) gets verbally bitchslapped by Tony c) gets made a fool of when his attempt to brainwash Tony fails ignominiously (and Tony makes a crack about having "performance issues") d) gets knocked on his ass by Tony with a AndThisIsFor Phil, e) gloats at Clint by catching one of his arrows, only for the arrow to explode and knock him flying, f) tries to invoke a WhoDares and instead gets a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown thorough beat-down]] from an irate [[TheHulk Hulk]] who [[MetronomicManMashing smashes him around like a rag doll and leaves him stunned and whimpering in a crater]] before calling him a "Puny God", g) looks up from where he's crawling painfully on the floor to see the Avengers standing over him and glowering at him like a naughty schoolkid, with the man he mind-controlled and used to kill dozens of people getting the honors of pointing an arrow right in his face, and h) is last seen BoundAndGagged and being escorted by Thor to face judgement in Asgard.]] The conga is also nicely foreshadowed by showing him getting suckered by Natasha's [[GuileHero act]] earlier in the movie.
* Towards the end of ''Film/RuthlessPeople'', Sam Stone gets arrested for his wife's murder, then the attack dog he got to eat his wife's poodle becomes friends with the poodle, he has to mortgage everything he owns in order to raise the ransom to get his wife back so he can be cleared of the murder charge. Finally, when he finds out she's alive, she beats the crap out of him and throws him off a pier.
* Colin Firth's school inspector gets a proper full on comic one in the updated ''Film/StTrinians'' film, including falling foul of some school-grown psychedelic drugs, blundering into a tank of fire ants and literally being caught with his trousers down (trying to remove said ants) in the 'posh totty' clique's dressing room, resulting in him being thrown out the window into a water tank just in time for an ActorAllusion. The entire conga climaxes with him waking up with his old flame, the school's headmistress (played by Rupert Everett in drag impersonating Camilla Parker-Bowles) and appearing half naked at a window in front of the nation's press who had arrived to report the schoolgirls' recovery of TheGirlWithThePearlEarring by Vermeer.
* Happens to Chucky in the original ''Film/ChildsPlay'' movies. He gets more and more damaged and beaten during each climax before finally getting killed. His death in the second particularly deserves special mention, in which he, in order, loses a hand, then his legs, gets mangled, boiled alive, and then has his head explode.
* Nearly all of ''Film/{{Pusher}} 2'' has Tonny (played by Mads Mikkelsen) suffer one indignity after another.
* Dealt to Ed Rooney in ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' over the course of the day.
* ''Film/DrinkingBuddies'': Despite being the male lead, at the finale of the movie, Luke [[spoiler: gets a serious cut on his hand helping Kate, gets into a fight with a stranger that doesn't go well, has to call on his coworkers whom does doesn't like to help, has Kate bail on their plans to get dinner, and then finds out his long-term girlfriend kissed another guy.]] He takes it very well, though.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' Pitch Black not only discovers that the hero he [[DisneyDeath killed]] is revived and so powerful he gets his ass totally whooped, but also he gains his power from the fear of children, whom emboldened by The Guardians are not only not afraid of him, but even start pelting snowballs at him, then realizing he has no power left he becomes scared, which his own minions sense and HeelFaceTurn on him.
* In ''Friday After Next'': Craig and Day-Day found the Robber Santa Claus that stole their rent money and stuff in the latter's shack. First, they beat him up and hit him with his Christmas Tree a few times forcing the thief to flee. He managed to hide in a room on the second floor in a house only to get beaten up some thugs that seem to have gotten rid of the security guards before the two protagonists were hired and thrown out the window and onto the ground. Robber Santa Claus managed to get back up and limped away, but was hit by Pinky's limo and was left on the ground, because Pinky didn't want to get sued. Craig and Day-Day finally caught to the thief while the latter's unconscious and twitching body to say he got knocked out. The last we saw of him, he was tied up on the roof of his house with Christmas lights for the police to arrest him while the heroes went back to their apartment with their stuff.
* Inverted in ''Film/{{Nine to Five}}''. Just as Mr. Hart (Dabney Coleman) is about to throw the heroines in jail for kidnapping him, the Boss of Bosses makes a surprise visit to his floor, to see all the innovations they had added in his name -- plans Hart knows nothing about, and would have rejected. The ladies proceed to take the Big Boss on a tour of the floor, giving Hart all the credit for everything they themselves had actually done, as other employees showered him with praise. But Hart is being shown the truth -- every idea he would have opposed worked, and the office actually ran better without him around. At the end, he's given a promotion...not to the top floor like he wanted, but to head their operations in Brazil. And he can't even take revenge on them; having them arrested would reveal the truth, making him a laughing stock.
* ''Film/VetHard'': Milo, the mean criminal with [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk no redeeming qualities]] who has been vexing main character Bennie throughout the movie, in an almost WhatAnIdiot moment insists on jumping into the kidnapped ambulance a by then clearly on a berserk suicide mission Mast is driving towards the police. He fails to stop Mast, then upon realizing he won't be able to stop Mast and is almost driving into the police wagons, Milo gets a big OhCrap expression on his face, but it's too late - the police first thoroughly shoot an absurd amount of bullets into Milo and Mast, and then the ambulance topples over, explodes and burns down. DyingMomentOfAwesome for Mast, HumiliationConga for Milo.
* ''Film/AliGIndahouse'': After his defeat, the evil deputy Prime Minister is forced to dress in a hooker outfit and dance for Ali G.
* In ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'', Annie, the protagonist, suffers two of these. At the beginning of the movie: she still hooks up with her ex-boyfriend who calls her [[FriendsWithBenefits whenever he wants to have sex with her]]; her bakery went under, leaving her bankrupt; she lives with two [[IncestSubtext wierdo roomates;]] works a job at a jewelry shop, [[SoulSuckingRetailJob which she hates;]] plus, she keeps getting pulled over because taillights don't work. In the second act of the movie: Annie has a fight with her best friend, leaving her un-invited to the wedding; her car gets rear ended, [[TheAllegedCar because of the non-working taillights, and the car refuses to restart;]] the cop that kept pulling her over, whom she was dating, dumped her after she filed the accident report; the ex-boyfriend ditched her in the middle of the road [[AmIJustAToyToYou after she told him off,]] only for him to drive off while telling her [[ReallyGetsAround he's got other women he can sleep with;]] she gets into an argument with her boss, who tells her that he's had enough, and fires her on the spot; finally, the roommates kick her out of their house [[BasementDweller forcing Annie to move back in with her mom.]]

* As the ending of ''Film/AnalyzeThis'' was too "soft" on RobertDeNiro's character [[spoiler: where he went into jail with some dignity]], in the beginning of ''Analyze That'', we find him [[spoiler: pretending to be a nutcase, singing and humiliating himself, only to run away from the people in jail who want to kill him.]] Fortunately for him, it pays off, but he doesn't get it much easier when he's back free, [[spoiler: with the police on his back, and mobsters either wanting to drag him back into the "business", or just plain kill him]]. In some way, both movies put him more or less in this trope's situation.

* Most of the villains in the original ''Film/{{Batman}}'' franchise met pretty ignominious ends, but Max Shreck in ''Film/BatmanReturns'' probably got it the worst of all; his Conga began when the movie wasn't even close to being over! First, his hand-picked mayoral candidate, Oswald Copplepot (a.k.a. The Penguin) is exposed as a fraud via EngineeredPublicConfession and pelted with ripe vegetables by a vengeful crowd -- a fate Max himself ''barely'' avoids by [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere getting the hell out of there]]. The Penguin, burning with resentment, crashes Max's Christmas Eve gala and threatens to drag his son Chip down into the sewers as part of his plan to kill all the first-born sons of Gotham as revenge for his abandonment by his own parents; Max is forced to beg for his son's life -- and in front of all the most influential citizens of Gotham City. The Penguin takes Max hostage and locks him in a giant birdcage in his hideout, telling him that after he makes Shreck watch as the children of Gotham are thrown into a deep puddle of his company's industrial byproducts, Shreck himself will join them. When Batman foils this evil plan, Max manages to escape by stealing the key to the cage from a monkey ([[ItMakesSenseInContext don't ask]]), but then Catwoman [[note]](who has a ''major'' vendetta against Shreck because of all the crap she put up with as his secretary, not the least of which was getting pushed out a high-rise window because she knew too much about Max's illicit plans for his power plant)[[/note]] shows up, and things get ''really'' bad for the crooked businessman: she snags his leg with her bullwhip, drags him under a lake of icy cold water (messing up his perfectly coiffed hair), hauls him out by his collar, throws him into a wall, lassos him ''again'' when he tries to run away, and finally threatens to slowly bleed him to death as he (futilely) pleads for mercy. Batman intervenes to stop Catwoman, but when Max tries to thank him, Batman just stiff-arms him in the face and tells him he's going to jail. Max tries to escape after shooting Batman, but Catwoman (after taking the remaining four bullets of Shreck's gun and ''surviving'') pins him against an exposed fuse box and rams her stun gun down his throat -- sending ''millions'' of volts through his body and reducing him to a blackened, steaming, eternally screaming corpse lying on the ground. It's a pretty harsh end, even for a ManipulativeBastard.

* ''Film/TheBorrowers'': Could have instead been called ''Humiliation Conga: The Movie''. BigBad Ocious P. Potter, after stealing the will that would guarantee the Lenders their house and deciding to kill Arriety and Pea Green Clock for intervening, gets it in spades throughout the movie. First, Exterminator Jeff accidentally sprays him in the face with his foam that, on contact, burns his skin and takes off his mustache. Next, Potter attempts to strike the kids with a hammer, but misses and hits the bulb, resulting in an electric shock under Jeff shuts the switch off and even after that, the hammer falls from the outlet and lands on Potter. Potter continuously comes under suspicion from Officer Steady who unwittingly intervenes in an attempt to get back the will. In the dairy factory, Spud Spiller causes Potter to get bombarded with a gallon of liquid cheese. When Potter acts rudely towards City Halls' obnoxious receptionist, she gives him purposely long and detailed directions to the Demolitions room to be as unhelpful as possible (she gives Pete Lender shorter directions when he asks nicely). Pete and Jeff set Potter up to go into a closet instead of the correct room and he's tied up by the Clocks. When that fails, other borrowers tied him up much more elaborately and then Pot Clock gets in an elevator to Potter's level to tell him off. Steady arrives after the borrowers are gone and arrests Potter when Pete reveals what he planned to do. Finally, after telling everyone in the department the story of the borrowers (after telling Steady), they all laugh at him and then proceed to continue to laugh while he's getting his mugshots. At this point, he's accepted the shame and is [[HeelFaceTurn laughing right with them]].

* The gauntlet of traps Kevin sets for the Wet Bandits in ''Film/HomeAlone'' [[TropeMaker arguably kicked off a trend]] in family films of the bad guys being subjected to this trope. Observe...
* ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', written by ''Home Alone'''s own John Hughes, has a few slapstick moments with Horace and Jasper as the puppies escape from the mansion, before the focus shifts to dunking on Cruella (literally). Happens again in [[Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians the sequel]].
* ''Film/TheBorrowers'': Could have instead been called ''Humiliation Conga: The Movie''. BigBad Ocious P. Potter, after stealing who conspired to steal a family's house that their aunt left to them under the guise of the will that would guarantee the Lenders their house and deciding to kill Arriety and Pea Green Clock for intervening, being missing, gets it this in spades throughout over the movie. First, Exterminator Jeff accidentally sprays him in course of most of the film. Getting his face with his foam that, on contact, burns his skin and takes off his mustache. Next, Potter attempts to strike burned by the kids exterminator's caustic foam, being electrocuted when he tries to smash a live lightbulb with a hammer, but misses hammer and hits the bulb, resulting in an electric shock under Jeff shuts the switch off and even after that, then having the hammer falls from the outlet and lands fall on Potter. Potter continuously comes under suspicion from Officer Steady who unwittingly intervenes his head, getting covered in an attempt to get back the will. In the dairy factory, Spud Spiller causes Potter to get bombarded with a gallon of liquid cheese.

Steady arrives after the borrowers are gone and arrests Potter when Pete reveals what he planned to do. Finally, after telling everyone cheese in the department bottling plant, and finally being tied up, Gulliver-style, by wires attached to a ceiling fan as an entire roomful of Borrowers taunts him... only to have them mysteriously vanish the story of second the borrowers (after telling Steady), they all laugh at police arrive to arrest him, leaving him and then proceed to continue to laugh while he's babbling like a madman about "tiny little men". By the time we see him getting his mugshots. At this point, mugshots taken, he's accepted either learned to see the shame humor of the situation or completely lost his mind, depending on how you interpret his behavior.
* ''Film/MouseHunt'', [[DuelingMovies which came out the same year]], is a notable twist for having this happen to the ''protagonists'' as they try increasingly elaborate ways to catch the eponymous pest. Most of the time it's from their own schemes backfiring, Wile E. Coyote style, as the mouse escapes unscathed
and is unfazed. In the end, [[HeelFaceTurn laughing right they give up and accept the mouse as an ally]], inspired to repurpose their late father's worthless string factory to manufacture string cheese.
* ''Film/{{Flubber}}'', also written by Hughes, features a scene where Professor Brainard is experimenting
with them]].his flubber as the BigBad's goons are spying on him through the window. He tries applying it to a golf ball, then a bowling ball. Both rocket around the room, out the window, and into the goons' faces. And this is long before the climax.



* This happens to the bad guys of the ''Film/HomeAlone'' films long before they're finally defeated, courtesy of Kevin's rather dangerous booby traps.
* Same case with Cruella de Vil in the live-action version of ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''... and its sequel ''Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians''.

* In ''Film/GameraVsZigra'', the enemy daikaiju is both the tool and the brains of the invading force, and has Gamera and the Humans on the ropes throughout. When the time comes for Round 2, Gamera throws a rock onto Zigra's beak, not only blocking its deadly beam delivery, but causing it to fall face first into the sand. Gamera then plays his 'Bouncy Theme Song' on his fallen enemy's dorsal/spinal plates like a xylophone, and finishes by roasting the poor stupid invader slowly down to nothing. Of course, the creature having a name that sounds like either an extended-disclaimers medication or a trendy drink possibly put Zigra on this path.

"Look at her! Look at me! Now...look at US!" Then they meet, and touch, and the music swells and then STOPS. She walks to the evil cleric, showing and then dropping the jesses in front of him. He closes his eyes in pain. It's a short conga, though. As she walks from the dais, the evil cleric aims his staff at her like a javelin [[IfICantHaveYou "...then no man shall!"]] He's admitted to using black magic (MoralEventHorizon) ''in front of his entire church and staff'', so he's already given up everything and been direly humiliated. What's a little murder? Then, [[{{Badass}} Navarre]] [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks hurls his sword]] and impales the BigBad. Obviously, this scene can't be completed without some bubbling last words and writhing on the sword blade.

* Inverted in ''Film/{{Nine to Five}}''. Just as Mr. Hart (Dabney Coleman) is about to throw the heroines in jail for kidnapping him, the Boss of Bosses makes a surprise visit to his floor, to see all the innovations they had added in his name -- plans Hart knows nothing about, and would have rejected. The ladies proceed to take the Big Boss on a tour of the floor, giving Hart all the credit for everything they themselves had actually done, as other employees showered him with praise. But Hart is being shown the truth -- every idea he would have opposed worked, and the office actually ran better without him around. At the end, he's given a promotion...not to the top floor like he wanted, but to head their operations in Brazil. And he can't even take revenge on them; having them arrested would reveal the truth, making him a laughingstock.

** Penguin himself deserves a mention as well; After he failed to kill Batman by sabotaging the Batmobile, the Dark Knight uses an EngineeredPublicConfession to reveal his true face to Gotham, ruining his chances to become mayor and obliterating the VillainWithGoodPublicity image he had worked the entire movie to build. He then tries to take revenge by kidnapping and killing all the children of Gotham's elite, only for Batman to stop his gang, save the children before he can even get his hands on them, and taunt him with a letter just to rub salt on the wound. Infuriated, he attempts to destroy Gotham using his pet penguins as a personal army equipped with rockets, but Batman is able to steal control of the army from him and use them to destroy most of his hideout. His gang [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandons him]], and his final fight ends up completely one-sided, with Batman throwing him in the chemical wastes of his lair using [[{{Irony}} the very same trick he used to kill the Ice Princess]]. Exhausted, he makes one final attempt to kill his opponent from behind, only to accidentally pick the ''one'' umbrella in his collection that was harmless, before dying from his wounds.

At this point, he's accepted the shame and is [[HeelFaceTurn laughing right with them]].

* In ''OutCold'', the BigBad is getting ready to transform Bull Mountain into a luxury resort when he discovers his daughter having sex with [[TheObiWannabe Pig Pen]] in a gondola cabin. It all goes downhill from there (pun intended): his presentation is crashed by a rowdy bunch of snowboarders, his employees are pelted by snowballs, one of them gets a boot literally lodged up his ass, and he is eventually thrown into a port-a-potty, which slides violently downhill and ends up in a tree.

* ''Film/TheAvengers'' ends with one of these for Loki, fueled by the cast's and audience's simultaneous ire over his [[spoiler: murder of Coulson.]] In order, and in rather quick succession he [[spoiler: a) gets blasted through a wall by a dying Coulson, b) gets verbally bitchslapped by Tony c) gets made a fool of when his attempt to brainwash Tony fails ignominiously (and Tony makes a crack about having "performance issues") d) gets knocked on his ass by Tony with a AndThisIsFor Phil, e) gloats at Clint by catching one of his arrows, only for the arrow to explode and knock him flying, f) tries to invoke a WhoDares and instead gets a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown thorough beat-down]] from an irate [[TheHulk Hulk]] who [[MetronomicManMashing smashes him around like a rag doll and leaves him stunned and whimpering in a crater]] before calling him a "Puny God", g) looks up from where he's crawling painfully on the floor to see the Avengers standing over him and glowering at him like a naughty schoolkid, with the man he mind-controlled and used to kill dozens of people getting the honors of pointing an arrow right in his face, and h) is last seen BoundAndGagged and being escorted by Thor to face judgement in Asgard.]] The conga is also nicely foreshadowed by showing him getting suckered by Natasha's [[GuileHero act]] earlier in the movie.

she\'s not the villain, so snipped


* She's not the villain, but Prudy Perkins suffers through one of these in the western spoof ''SupportYourLocalSheriff''; she ends up dripping wet, in her long underwear, in a tree, while the hunky new sheriff hears from a neighbor about the time at the town picnic that Prudy got her hair caught in the crank on the ice-cream maker. But because she's not the villain, and it's not her plans that come crumbling around her (well, except for the sheriff liking her, which [[ForegoneConclusion happens in the end anyway]]), it's not this trope, just slapstick comedy.

Nordberg is the good side\'s Butt Monkey, not the villain.


** Nordberg has a lot of bad stuff happen to him in both the first two films. While most performances by O. J. Simpson qualify as HarsherInHindsight, some consider this [[HilariousInHindsight oddly satisfying]] all things considered.
