** [[Characters/SouthParkEricCartman Eric Cartman]] on occasion. He got away with killing Scott Tenorman's parents and them serving their remains to him as chili. He also defecated in a neighbors yard and framed Stan for it, resulting in him getting grounded. One interesting example that's played for laughs was when Cartman hit Token on the head with a rock, which normally should have got him arrested for simple assault but he gets arrested for committing a hate crime instead.

** Felix steals the Miracle Box and gives it to Hawkmoth in return for the Peacock Miraculous, making him directly responsible for undermining the heroes and giving the villain enough power to threaten the entire world, as well as causing all the strife during season five.

** Felix steals the Miracle Box and gives it to Hawkmoth in return for the Peacock Miraculous, making him directly responsible for undermining the heroes and giving the villain enough power to threaten the entire world, as well as causing all the strife during season five. He pulls a sort-of HeelFaceTurn after his own plan to destroy Gabriel fails, pairs up romantically with Kagami, and is shown in the season finale denouement as one of the reinstated Miraculous heroes.
** Lila Rossi is a ''serial offender'' of this trope, who escapes the backlash of her constant lies so often that an entire fanfic category was made to give her the deserved comeuppance canon denied her. She's only properly found out ''once'', and her response is to just walk out, [[CrazyPrepared assume a completely different identity she had prepared]], and initiate her next attack on Marinette. In the very end, she's stolen the Butterfly Miraculous and a laptop full of Gabriel Agreste's deepest secrets, and she's all set up to become the next Hawkmoth.

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' has five instances as of the end of season five:
** Hawkmoth/Monarch, the BigBad for the entire run to that point, is never defeated, unmasked or otherwise resolved. Instead he pulls a last-second HeroicSacrifice, making the Wish and restoring the health of his {{Dragon}} Natalie (whose approaching death was indirectly his fault to begin with) at the cost of his own life. He's also remembered as a loving father and a hero with a giant statue (forged from all the mind-control rings ''he made'') commemorating him, and nobody (other than his accomplices) ever found out he was the villain all along.
** Likewise, Natalie is never taken to task for abetting Hawkmoth all the time.
** Tomoe Tsurugi, Kagami's mother, spends the entire fifth season actively collaborating with Monarch and providing the technology for the Alliance system, making her complicit in terrorism on a global scale. Nothing is mentioned of her facing any kind of backlash.
** Felix steals the Miracle Box and gives it to Hawkmoth in return for the Peacock Miraculous, making him directly responsible for undermining the heroes and giving the villain enough power to threaten the entire world, as well as causing all the strife during season five.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "Birthday Wish" has Timmy loan Tootie his fairies after Vicky and ruins her birthday, only for Mr. Crocker to show up during the episode's second half and do the same by trying to get her to expose Timmy's fairies. Needlessly to say, while Vicky gets off completely scot-free with making her little sister miserable, Crocker only receives the bare minimum of comeuppance and his scheme ultimately makes Tootie miserable again.

** Near the beginning, a scientist contestant is disintegrated when Biff and Buzz mess around with his engine (though accidentally, so it is not a full example). All of the contestants who aren't Tom and Jerry die because the producer decided to extend the race further and further due to ratings. Subverted with said producer who starts to cultivate a conscience (or just suffers a breakdown after getting beaten up for everything) -- unwillingly, but it doesn't matter; the second he does, his boss shows up, turns him into dust, and promotes the producer's assistant. In Tom and Jerry's world, you only survive for as long as you're a karma Houdini.
** In some short-films, Jerry himself is this (though he also gets hit with KarmaHoudiniWarranty).

*** Mark Morgan and Gregory Swofford from the two-part episode "The Return of Optimus Prime". They unleashed the HatePlague just to spite the Transformers. It spreads all over Cybertron, Earth, and the rest of the galaxy, threatening to destroy all life. And after the crisis is resolved, they tried to apologize but Optimus refused their apology when Galvatron walked towards as he pushed the two aside and thanked him.

* ''WesternAnimation/ShirtTales'':
** In "The Game Masters", a villain, known as the Game Master, trapped the Shirt Tales in an arcade game and forced them to be game players. Though the Shirt Tales escaped the arcade, the Game Master was not apprehended and was still free to capture more victims for his game.
** In "Pam-dora's Box", a panda, who was really an evil robot spy, trapped Pammy in the zoo and ran off with some top secret documents he had stolen for his master. Though the robot panda is defeated, his creator was never revealed, let alone captured.
