* The ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' comics play with this trope twice:
** ''Death of a Salesbot'' takes place about a year after the Mann vs Machine update, which revolves around the mercs fighting hordes of killer robots [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext powered by cash]]. The mercs have killed so many robots and made so much money they don't know what to do with it, and use it for such things as making a money sandwich or fueling the fireplace. And because they hardly ''need'' to work for a living, they are bored because they have nothing to do to pass the time.
** In ''Ring of Fired'', a few months after [[TheBadGuyWins Gray Mann successfully took over Mann Co.]] and fired the mercs, one of them has become the new CEO of Frontier Engineering and led its most profitable quarter in the company's history. Who is it? The ''[[PsychopathicManchild Pyro]]'', who is bored out of their mind and utterly unsatisfied with their new lifestyle. It takes [[BeleagueredAssistant Miss Pauling]] and Soldier starting a fire in the next-door building to snap Pyro out of their tedium. [[RuleOfSymbolism To emphasize this]], before the fire [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Pyro sees everything in a drab grayscale]]. After the fire? They start seeing ''[[CallBack rainbows]]''.

One reason the authorities tolerate the Guild Of Calamitous Intent is that it's safer to have these people in an evil organization with rules and laws than risk letting a bunch of pissed-off rich people with access to superweapons do whatever they feel like.
