* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'': Randall Boggs is an impatient and bitter jerk who doesn't show respect for any other character, not even his boss, Waternoose, who decides to work with him out of desperation. He frequently intimidates and threatens his assistant, Fungus, is progressively crueler and snider to Sulley as the story progresses out of mere envy and displays sadistic enjoyment out of tormenting Mike, seeing Sulley and Mike getting banished and crosses MoralEventHorizon by possibly torturing Boo to death. Even when it initially seemed like he wasn't bad at first in his teen years depicted in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' and was an awkward friendly nerd, he quickly showed his true social climbing jerkass self the second he had good enough grades to join R.O.R becoming a ruthless and cruel bully towards even his former friend, Mike (who had at no point done anything bad to him and had even helped him out on his first day at the University), who he also had abandoned in favor of R.O.R in Mike's time of need.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}'': Steele started off as your regular JerkJock as he (alongside his gang Katlag, Nikki, and Star) often bullied Balto for being part wolf and was egotistical. Paired with those things, he would constantly try to score a date with Jenna (whom had feelings for Balto) despite showing no interest. He however crossed the MoralEventHorizon when [[spoiler:he refused to let Balto help him and the sled dog team with delivering the medicine to Nome, which would've cured the sick children and prevent them from dying. All so he can claim all the glory. Even worse is that he purposely sabotaged Balto's marks which would've helped him and the others get to Nome and when he does return he lies to everyone saying that Balto attacked him. Fortunately, Steele gets his comeuppance at the end once Balto returns.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys'': [[spoiler:Professor Marmalade]]. Even before he’s revealed to be a villain who [[CardCarryingVillain outright admits to deriving pleasure from being evil]], he takes a [[SmugSnake smarmy, condescending attitude]] towards the Bad Guys, which he disguises with a [[CondescendingCompassion superficially sweet tone of voice]]. After he gets outed as the film's true antagonist, he drops any pretense of politeness and gleefully mocks the gang whenever he can.
