History Main / CornerOFWoe

* Bizarrely, the TastesLikeDiabetes intro for ''LightNovel/OreNoKanojoToOsananajimiGaShurabaSugiru'' has a couple of these as a FreezeFrameBonus.

** Crona spends so much time in the Corner of Woe that s/he's nicknamed it Mr. Corner/Roomsky Kornerkov. [[AmbiguousGender S/He]] can even inflict the corner on others; Crona once wrote a poem [[BrownNote so depressing]] that Maka, Marie, Soul, and even '''Black☆Star''' crept into a corner mumbling "I wish I'd never been born," after reading it. Sid the zombie followed them with "I wish I'd never come back to life," -- not because he read the poem, but because he couldn't get Crona to stop being afraid of him.

* [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix]] expresses his desire to do this in ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'' after [[ButtMonkey the poor guy]] gets his masculinity mocked by [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]], a freaking ''[[PinkIsForSissies pink]] [[AllGirlsLikePonies pony]]''.

* In ''MaiOtome'', Nina does this after her plan to capture the Gelle Anguille fails because the labels on the sugar and salt were switched, although she doesn't realize it at the time. She had been hoping her plan would succeed to make up for the humiliation of almost drowning because of the Gelle Anguille.

* During Chapter 083 of ''ShinryakuIkaMusume'', after trying and failing to win at least one match of Rock-Paper-Scissors, Ika demands a rematch from Eiko, saying that she can use a special move so that she can't lose...and Eiko tells Ika that every Rock-Paper-Scissors player needs to use the three signs. This results in Ika ending up like this.

* A rare live action version occurs in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', when the team meets Kyosuke Jinnai, the former [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Red Racer]]. He tells Don that since [[BroughtDownToNormal losing his powers]] he's become cowardly (and assumes the hugging-the-knees pose).

This results in the two of them nodding solemnly to one another as the MonsterOfTheWeek shouts at them in confused frustration.

She remains sad even after the spotlight on her is turned off and revealed to be the same one she was using to interrogate Spike.

* ''WebComic/MagickChicks'' has this happen to Tiffany (complete with [[Ghost Lights gloom flames]]), in [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/girls_who_resisted this scene]], as a result of [[DudeWheresMyRespect being left out]] [[spoiler: Cerise]]'s evil plans.

* ''WebComic/MagickChicks'' has this happen to Tiffany (complete with gloom flames) in [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/girls_who_resisted the third panel, here]], as a result of [[DudeWheresMyRespect being left out]] [[spoiler: Cerise]]'s evil plans.

* In episode 7 of ''Manga/{{Kotoura-san}}'', both [[AllMenArePerverts Manabe and Haruka's grandfather]] sit in one after they find out the mixed bathhouse is closed due to repairs.

When things look depressing for our comical {{anime}} hero, what's the best course of action? Why, go SuperDeformed, sit in a corner, wrap your arms around your knees, and sulk like you've never sulked before! Preferably in a DramaticSpotlight. Bonus points if you manage to act gloomy enough to attract GhostLights or grow mushrooms in your dark, damp corner of woe. Often combined with ColorFailure. The technical term for this is [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness latibulating]].

** The FourGirlEnsemble are having a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chankonabe chankonabe]] -- or sumo wrestler's hot pot -- prepared mainly by the weight-conscious cook Hiro. And then Miyako and Sae utter lines usually reserved for sumo wrestlers -- likely to be incidental -- and prompt Hiro herself to leave her apartment and sit in the CornerOfWoe in the backyard.

%%* After they break the masquerade for her via [[spoiler:mini-rocket-launcher-to-her-friend's-face]] (though he isn't too hurt by that) Alice decides to find her CornerOfWoe as part of her "panic response".

--> That's me in the [[CornerOfWoe corner]]\\

** In order for Ninjaman to relinquish the ''NinjaSentaiKakuranger'' Grand Power, the Gokaigers try various ways to impress him (Luka dresses up in [[{{Fanservice}} a kimono]], Joe bakes him a cupcake shaped in Ninjaman's likeness, and Marvelous performs a comedy routine with Navi). When Marvelous' routine goes awry, the food gets ruined, and Joe was devastated when the Ninjaman cupcake was destroyed. In a FunnyBackgroundEvent, he spends the rest of the scene in the Galleon ''sitting inside a treasure chest'', moping.
* Eiji Hino, a.k.a. ''KamenRiderOOO'', puts himself in one of these when he doesn't figure out that the VictimOfTheWeek has feelings for her teacher, a fact that both his EvilMentor and the [[SixthRanger Second Rider]] found out instantly.

* Konata of ''Anime/LuckyStar'' does this when lamenting the cable company's inability to install cable TV (and hence Anime-channels) in her suburb.

* Kurosawa did this once in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' at the beach house, after being upstaged, embarrassed, and verbally and utterly trashed by ''[[ManChild Yukari]]''.

** Hawkeye gets her own Corner of Woe during the flashback to Ishval, when Kimblee suggests that she secretly really enjoys killing and takes pride in her work.

Contrasts with BerserkButton, where the comment or action results in the character reacting in a more ''violent'' manner.
