** In episode "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS2E13AnySportInAStorm Any Sport in a Storm]]", when she gets irritated by Luz and [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]]'s antics, Boscha yells that she has more friends than they do, only to be ignored. It serves to highlight just how inconsequential she now is to them.

** This gets cast back at him [[Recap/TeenTitansS2E12AftershockPartOne two episodes later]] when the team tries to redeem her, only for her to angrily retort "I don't have any friends, remember?"

** Creator/MrT says that nobody will miss [[Series/MrRogersNeighborhood Mr. Rogers]] because all of his friends are imaginary.

** In the first episode "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E1ALyingWitchAndAWarden A Lying Witch and a Warden]]" a well-intentioned but equally painful example was given: as [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] resists going to the Reality Check Camp, her mother [[Characters/TheOwlHouseCamilaNoceda Camila Noceda]] asks if she has any friends that aren't imaginary or reptilians, adding that camp is "a chance to make some friends".

-> '''Eggman:''' It can't be! It's impossible to get out of the Phantom Ruby's Null Space!
-> '''Sonic''': Maybe not by myself, but I had a little help from my friend. Something you wouldn't understand, since you don't have any friends.

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': In "Bestest Friend," Zim overhears some kids calling him inhuman because he hasn't made a single friend. This scares Zim because this makes him think that having no friends would expose him as an alien and ruin his mission.

** After capturing Entrapta, Catra convinces her that the other princesses abandoned her in the Fright Zone, saying that the princesses care only about those who are like them. "But you are not like them, are you?" Since the princesses complained a lot about Entrapta's quirks in spite of everything she did to help, the question hits hard, making her cry.
** [[spoiler:Over the course of the show, Catra's mental state declines as she pushes everyone away, with even Scorpia deciding to desert her. At the height of her insanity, Double Trouble transforms into every person Catra has ever cared about or looked up to, cruelly explaining that she is alone and, no matter what she tries to tell herself, it's all her fault. When Glimmer finds her afterwards, Catra asks the queen to just end her.]]

* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'': When [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Mazikeen]] trolls [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Amenadial]] by joining him uninvited at dinner, he accuses her of being lonely, as Lucifer is currently not speaking to her.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'': In the ''Shadows of Rose'' DLC, Rosemary Winters is very lonely due to bullying and ostracization from her classmates because of her mutations and desperately wants to have friends as a result. She at one point encounters [[spoiler:Eveline]] who regularly taunts her with her loneliness by telling her how unloved she is, which severely bothers Rose.

* ''LightNovel/{{Haganai}}'': During a Christmas party, Sena is confronted by a group of girls for inadvertently getting the attention of a boy that one of the girls had a crush on.

* ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'':
** One of the ways Megumin mocks Yunyun is pointing out how the latter has no friends, often in response to Yunyun pointing out one of Megumin's flaws or problems. There's no real ill-will between them, though, as while Megumin will claim [[{{Tsundere}} she doesn't care about Yunyun at all except as a sad, self-proclaimed rival]], people who know them know they're VitriolicBestBuds (to the point that several of their friends in the Crimson Demon village actually shipped them together). After Yunyun makes friends with several fellow adventurers, Megumin stops teasing her about being friendless... and [[HereWeGoAgain instead begins mocking her for being single while she and Kazuma are now an item]].
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Dodonko and Funifura]], two of Yunyun and Megumin's Crimson Demon clansmen, mock both Megumin and Yunyun for being friendless wierdos. Like with Megumin mocking Yunyun, there isn't any actual spite between them, though Megumin gleefully points out how while it's true in the past they were loners, she is now happily a couple with Kazuma and Yunyun the acquaintance of at least two eligible men while Dodonko and Funifura are both stuck in the Crimson Demon Village with no romantic options in sight. Dodonko and Funifura always respond with vexation and outrage that the two girls known for being loners (to the point several of their classmates like Arue and Nerimaki were certain [[LesYay they'd find comfort in each other's arms out of desperation]]) are now enjoying a romance-filled youth.

** Batman ends a verse this way against Literature/SherlockHolmes by claiming that he'll become TheFriendNobodyLikes and DyingAlone because of his drug addiction.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'': A variation occurs in [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E9LivingLegend "Living Legend"]]. Zemo takes time to mock Captain America for not only being a FishOutOfTemporalWater while the Baron has had time to adapt, but also for being alone, all his friends dead or believing him as KIA. [[spoiler:This turns out to not entirely be true, as Bucky later gets resurrected by CosmicRetcon, and his comrade James "Logan" Howlett, better known as ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, is alive, though only the former is a plot point.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/GreenEggsAndHam2019'', after Guy learns just why Sam dragged him around [[spoiler:and that Sam was really a con-artist]] the whole time, he rips Sam apart in that the reason nobody stays with him for so long is that he doesn't fit ''anybody'' -- not even his mother who dropped him off at an orphanage. This is such a low blow that even Guy realized that he just crossed a line.

* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} 2'': An interaction between Cassidy and Reaper has Cassidy say that a friend (implied to be Sombra) told him that Reaper was getting rusty.

* ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3'': It is revealed that, ever since the events of the episode "[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E8BlendinsGame Blendin's Game]]", Blendin Blandin is still shunned by others despite getting his job back, and is mocked for being friendless by his piers. Even the Time Baby, [[NotSoAboveItAll of all beings]], mocks him by calling him "No-Friendin Blandin".
