** James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, in regards to Snape. The first two did the actual bullying--Remus was so lonely he couldn't bring himself to argue against it, while Peter just enjoyed watching.
*** Of note, Rowling draws a connection between Dudley's gang and the Marauders. In Dudley's gang, there's a rat-faced member named Piers (a variant of Peter).

* The main antagonists of ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'' are a group of sadistic bullies who are responsible for tormenting Mari Nagare's son and eventually being responsible for his death by making him jump off a cliff and accidentally getting run over. After finding [[DeadManWriting the various evidence that her son gathered]] and was planning to expose, [[KnightTemplarParent Mari]] formulates a scheme as she infiltrates their school as a [[SchoolNurse nurse]] and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge tries to take them down one by one]].

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E28ANicePlaceToVisit A Nice Place to Visit]]", it is mentioned that Rocky Valentine started a street gang called the Angels when he was eight years old.

It’s so much easier to get your way with one, two, or four chums who got your back and don’t mind joining in a little intimidation. Bullies seem to be a bit of a pack species when encountered in media. Oh sure, there’s always a [[TheBully leader]], but somehow he or she has often convinced or intimidated a few other characters to follow him or her around in his or her never-ending quest to be a [[JerkAss douche-bag]] to the main characters. These side characters are considered of minor importance at best, and may not even serve any purpose other than to make the group look that much more intimidating, or to simply laugh at the leader's every insult and say "Good one". (As a rule, take down the leader and the rest will melt away, for AFriendInNeed they are not; also, they tend to end up [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandoning their leader]] whenever a tougher bully comes around ([[IFightForTheStrongestSide and join him/her instead]]) and/or disappear completely if the leader undergoes a HeelFaceTurn and joins the protagonist's circle of friends).

* Jonathan Joestar of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' deals with a gang of thugs who harass [[LoveInterest Erina]].
** And, just over a century later, Josuke Higashikata (Jonathan's great-grandson and the "Jojo" of ''Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable'') is tormented by a trio of older high-school students. Until, of course, the ringleader makes the mistake of [[BerserkButton mocking his pompadour]].

* Probably the most timid character of the series (Kotonoha) gets harassed by no fewer than five girls in ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays''.

* In the ''Manga/YuGiOh'' manga, Mokuba is introduced with a group of classmates like this. After his first appearance, they are never mentioned again.
* Kyoko plays the leader of the gang of bullies in ''Manga/SkipBeat''. Interesting as she used to be the bullied.

* An extremely large part of the cast of ''Manga/KyouKaraOreWa'' is part of one, usually linked to their respective schools. Bonus point for the ones of Akehisa High and Hokunei High: Akehisa's gang is composed of ''every single student'', and Hokunei's is not only also composed of every single student but ''burned down their school''.

* The Cobras from ''Film/TheKarateKid''.

** The Gangreen Gang are a gang of troublemaking teenage boys. [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Though they can sometimes prove to be an actual threat]], they mostly just stick to bullying normal people (namely small children) and don't dare pick a fight with the girls unless they have an advantage.

* The [[TheDreaded Kanker]] [[BlondeBrunetteRedhead Sisters]] – [[TheLeader Lee]], Marie, and [[DumbBlonde May]] – in ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy''. They're the {{Distaff|Counterpart}} and {{Evil Counterpart}}s to [[ComicTrio the Eds]].

** The Rowdyruff Boys are essentially this. They're the {{Spear|Counterpart}} and {{Evil Counterpart}}s to the Powerpuff Girls.
** The Gangreen Gang are a gang of troublemaking teenage boys.

** Jimbo takes over as the leader in Nelson's absence, which is quite often. Nelson himself was introduced in the first season with a pair of color-swapped but otherwise identical lackeys, who were [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome eventually phased out.]] WordOfGod confirms that this was because they felt that six bullies was too many.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has Team CRDL a group of hunters who are essentially bullies and display FantasticRacism towards Faunus. Fittingly for a group of bullies, they bail on Cardin, their ringleader when a Grimm Ursa ambushes them.
