* The whole point of Furious Pig's "I Don't Like Your Face.

** Partially subverted in that [[spoiler: James Potter was something of a JerkJock bully, growing up only when he was out of his teens]].

*** That, and he ''was'' a jerk to many people except for Lily. To whom he was a StalkerWithACrush, looking at her greedily since they were '' nine''.

* In the CalvinAndHobbes Tenth Anniversary Collection, Watterson muses a bit on the character of Moe, who was written as a bully from a child's perspective; which is to say that the sadistic pleasure Moe takes from his harassment of Calvin is the only evidence he shows of any kind of brain activity. He ends with a pithy comment about Moe's ilk spawning on damp locker-room floors - I guess we know where Bill was on the social ladder.

* ''Unbreakable.'' [[spoiler: "They called me Mister Glass."]]

* The entire Karate Kid series including the fourth one is filled with bullies that are so mean to point of over top idiocy, sometimes its influenced by an adult who enforce this behavior. In the remake not only are they cruel but also racist.

* The protagonist's little sister in ''Remember Me'' is frequently a victim of bullying, but she says she can handle it...until towards the end of the film, where one of the bullies invites her to a, chaperoned by her mother, birthday party. The sister is nervous to go, but assumes the girls just want to be friends now...and then later we see her tearfully begging her father over the phone t pick her up, her pigtails chopped off. Apparently the girls ganged up on her out of sight of the parents, held her down and cut her hair off, and then told the parents she did it to herself--and, as her father reluctantly admits, it was off school grounds, so nothing can be done about it. The girls ''still'' mock her for her attempt at a decent hairdo the next week (she was too traumatized to leave her room) at school, in front of the teacher. Luckily, even if the teacher did nothing, the girl's older brother certainly did.

* ''{{DegrassiTheNextGeneration}}'' had this. A bully and his friends had been mocking a bookish kid, continuing to do it even when one of their other friends told them to stop. When the kid came to school (unknown to the others, with a gun) one of them answered his question of who had encouraged the hazing with the kid that had told them to stop. The kid is killed during the shooting and the kid he tries to kill is paralyzed from the waist down because of them, and when everyone else finds out the guy is left alone.

* Two words: Cyber Bullying. Take face-to-face bullying, apply the {{GIFT}}, and the results can literally be deadly.
** Not that normal bullying can't be, as the case of Phoebe Prince showed.

* Phoebe Prince, that poor Irish girl in Massachusetts that was bullied so much she COMMITTED SUICIDE. [[AdultsAreUseless None of the adults even did anything!]]
** [[http://www.bullycide.org/ Bullycide?]] Happens more often than you might think...so often, in fact, that there's a special term for it. And people say the bullies are the depressed ones...
*** That's because they're stupid, and probably parents. It must be a subconscious desire to get vengeance for all those sleepless nights when you were six months old-the advice my parents gave me could usually be called "bad" if you were being generous, or "welcoming further harassment" if you weren't.

See also TeensAreMonsters and HumansAreBastards. Contrast ChildrenAreInnocent. RoyalBrat is a particularly disturbing take on this.

* ''TheButterflyEffect'' - look at the nerd! He has no arms and no legs! Ha ha ha!

** The most unambiguous Narnia example is probably the school bullies in ''The Silver Chair,'' who have been tormenting Jill in unspecified ways at the beginning of the book, and whose approach is what drives Eustace and Jill to blunder in a blind panic of terror into Narnia. There's a whole author aside about how horrible the kids are at their school, which is called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Experiment House]], and how the adults do nothing to control them. It's pretty satisfying when in the end [[spoiler:Jill and Eustace beat the crap out of all the bullies, with Aslan's blessing.]].

* [[{{Jerkass}} Silver]], one of the rivals from ''{{Pokemon}}''

* I am surprised that nobody mentioned the Red Crayon Aristocrats from ''{{Rule of Rose}}''.
