** In the series finale, [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicQueenChrysalis Queen Chrysalis]], [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicLordTirek Lord Tirek]] and [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicCozyGlow Cozy Glow]] manage to use Grogar's bell to empower themselves, DePower Discord, and take over Equestria. But as [[CardCarryingVillain a group of self-professed friendship-haters]], [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome they're naturally terrible at any semblance of co-operation]], and all the strife they've created has brought back [[EmotionEater the Windigos]], which means [[MeaninglessVillainVictory all they'll rule will be a frozen wasteland]] if they don't find a method to deal with them, which, naturally, they can't agree on. Once the heroes rally ''all Equestria'' against them they quickly resort to bickering and [[NeverMyFault blaming each other]], which seals their fate.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': Despite being the rule of a dystopian world, Aku is doomed to ''always'' fail because being MadeOfEvil makes it impossible for him to do anything good, such as deciding not to turn on his allies when they capture Jack for him. The only reason why he doesn't end up TooDumbToLive is because Jack's sword is the only thing capable of destroying him, though he finally ends up on this trope in the finale in which he decides to broadcast his speech to break his oppressed subjects (causing them to give Jack enough time to return to the past) and not bothering to separate Jack from his sword.

* On ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' and ''DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines,'' this is Dick Dastardly, full stop. Never won a race (although he won a couple races on ''Fender Bender 500''), never stopped the pigeon. It carried over to ''WesternAnimation/YogisTreasureHunt'' in that he never beat Yogi Bear and friends to the weekly treasure.

* At the end of ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'' TheBadGuyWins, when protagonist Sergeant Howie learns that the whole purpose of his presence on the island was the be used as a HumanSacrifice to the pagan gods to revitalize the failing crop harvests. However, just as he is about to be left to burn alive in the titular Wicker Man, Howie tells [[BigBad Lord Summerisle]] that he believes the real reason for the crop failures is bad farming practice, so by relying on HumanSacrifice instead of addressing the actual problem, [[MeaninglessVillainVictory Summerisle is just setting them up to fail again next year]]... and if Howie's sacrifice doesn't work, then the people would consider Lord Summerisle himself to be the only worthy sacrifice. But that still won't solve the farming problem, so in the end both [[ManipulativeBastard the villain]] and [[FolkHorror]] the island are doomed no matter what.
