* ''Manga/KoeNoKatachi'' has several:

* In the ''[[Manga/TheLegendOfZelda Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' manga, there's a mini-story that includes Navi getting chased around with a fly swatter, being hit numerous times. "Shut Up [Navi]!" indeed. ''WebVideo/ThereWillBeBrawl'' references Zelda. "Shut the ''[[PrecisionFStrike fuck]]'' up, Navi!". In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', where the Mayor plays ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and accidentally kills [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-KEuSt0lZI Navi]] An episode of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode had Stan swat a fairy, its last words being one of Navi's most hated quotes.

** ''[[https://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/art/Tobias-Is-Arrested-Yo-569496061 Tobias Is Arrested, Yo]]'' appears to be heading in this direction, when two cops approach Tobias after he wins the Sinnoh Conference, arrest him for using banned Legendaries in competitive play, strip him of his championship title, and ban him from competing in future conferences. However, it turns out that "Tobias" never existed, and was just a hologram created by Mew and the other Legendaries, who wanted to compete in a regional Conference for once.

** Happens to him again in a oneshot called ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11076955/1/A-Champion-s-Commupance A Champion's Commupance]]'' [sic], where he gets stripped of the championship and banned from competing for using Legendaires, which are then found to be genetically enhanced Pokemon. That happens to be against the law, so Tobias goes to jail, mumbling something along the lines of "I should have never trusted team Galaxy...".

* An odd case: [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame the Squats]] were retconned out of existence in the third edition of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', and the creators got so fed up with fans asking about their return that ''they'' began to consider the Squats as the in-universe Scrappies. The official explanation now is that all of the Squat homeworlds were eaten by [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Tyranids]]. Occasionally one or two survivors turn up in the fiction, usually played for laughs. Eventually, they were RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap and officially brought back into canon with the explanation that they are abhumans, meaning they actually can never be eliminated since they're human mutants that can be born as such randomly.

* In episode 3 of the ''Videogame/{{Kings Quest|2015}}'' remake, there's a puzzle in which you must save baby Cedric from getting eaten by a badger. If you let Cedric get eaten multiple times, Narrator!Graham notes that you must really enjoy seeing that owl suffer. If you try to walk away from the puzzle multiple times, Graham will go into a rant about how he was glad to see that owl dead and wanted to chase off the badger so he could eat the thing himself.

* Wrestling/RomanReigns was TheChosenOne who would replace Wrestling/JohnCena as the face of the company, meaning also effectively have Cena's character. Disregarding the fact that "[[FanNickname SuperCena]]" is a massive BaseBreaker, it became fairly obvious that the character did not fit him and that he was nowhere near as talented as Cena. Not helping matters is the fact that he was the ReplacementScrappy for numerous [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorses]], including Wrestling/DanielBryan (the one everyone wanted to take Cena's place) and Wrestling/DeanAmbrose (the one everyone wanted to take Cena's place after Bryan was forced to retire). End result? Roman became the most hated wrestler in the company not named Wrestling/EvaMarie. But the company (Vince) was stubborn and kept pushing him anyway, trying to spin his negative reactions as something else, culminating in ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 32'', where Reigns won the title off mega-heel Wrestling/TripleH while being booed by 100,000 people. And the future of the company for the fans remaining seemed darker than ever.\\\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': In Episode 82, Pretty the AlphaBitch finally gets her comeuppance when [[spoiler: Kaeloo and Mr. Cat team up to get her publicly humiliated on the news]].

* ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland'' was one big TakeThat against infamous Spider-Man ReplacementScrappy, CreatorsPet (she's named after Creator/JoeQuesada's daughter), SatelliteLoveInterest, and all around RelationshipSue Carlie Cooper. While at first it seems like more of the same-- Carlie gets to sleep with Peter Parker, she gets Spider-Powers while Mary Jane doesn't, and gets to be a "super awesome" fighter to complete the CharacterShilling-- she then gets her butt handed to her in a fight, turns into a giant spider with the rest of the hapless citizens of New York, and the day ends up saved largely by MJ who gets Spider-Powers ''without'' turning into a giant spider. The comic ends with a Peter and MJ ShipTease of the highest order. On top of that, Peter forgets about Carlie's predicament, leaving her naked and embarrassed in the middle of New York. And then already rejoicing fandom cheered louder when they broke up right after this. It dives even further in the ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' comic. She's the only one who realizes that Peter isn't Peter and goes to investigate. As she does, she discovers proof that Dr. Octopus has taken over Peter's mind. She vows to go to the Avengers... and gets kidnapped by [[ComicBook/NormanOsborn the Green Goblin]] and transformed into Monster.

** Another Trek novel, ''Strike Zone'', goes after Dr Pulaski (while, admittedly, [[ShillingTheWesley shilling Wesley]]; can't win 'em all), by allowing [[TinMan Data]] to ''finally'' fire back. When Wesley tells Data what he just said was an insult, Data can only reply "Good".

** According to the Dinosaur Protection Group tie-in website for ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', ''Spinosaurus'' has gone extinct (again) sometime before the film and after it was transferred from Isla Sorna to Isla Nublar along with the genera that were first seen in the sequels.

* A subtle example in ''Film/JurassicWorld''; ''Spinosaurus'', the [[Film/JurassicParkIII previous film's]] [[VillainSue antagonist]] was not very well-liked to say the least. In ''Jurassic World'', not only is she left off of the list of attractions, but the only sign of existence of her species anywhere is a skeleton propped up in Jurassic World's Main Street. To add insult to injury, [[spoiler:that skeleton is ''destroyed'' near the end of the film, by ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' herself. This skeleton is ''not'' of the ''Spinosaurus'' from ''Jurassic Park III'' however]].

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The Season 6 finale sees Lady Olenna Tyrell meeting with Ellaria Sand and her three Sand Snakes - the young, sassy ActionGirl characters - and in under a minute she tells them all to shut up so she can talk to their mother; "You look like an angry little boy, don't presume to tell me what I need"; "Anything from you? No? Good, let the grown women speak". In Season 7 [[spoiler:Obara and Nymeria are killed by Euron Greyjoy--with their own weapons, no less, while Ellaria and her daughter, Tyene, are captured. They're returned to King's Landing where Cersei forces Tyene to ingest the same poison Ellaria used to murder Myrcella, then informs Ellaria she'll be kept along for as long as possible to watch her daughter die to know the pain she caused Cersei.]]
** He hardly qualified as a true Scrappy character, but most fans of the TV adaptation rejoiced and posted videos of the celebratory dances during the infamous Purple Wedding [[spoiler: when Joffrey Baratheon is poisoned and dies horribly in the arms of his desperate mother]]

* ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'':
** Bowser Junior is not very well-liked across the fanbase. Let's see how you would react to Chef Pee Pee or Bowser insulting him...
** Jeffy is also not very well-liked due to his status as an IdiotHoudini and his constant annoyance of Mario. Many fans thought that Mario pushing him off the bed he wouldn't stop jumping on in "The New House!" was some well-deserved karma, despite Rosalina and Bowser saying otherwise.

** Connie gets this ''four'' times. The first time was in "Barely Legal" when Brian gave her an epic TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and made her run away in tears at a dance, the second time was in the episode "Peter's Daughter" when Peter bashes her head on a broken fire hydrant case, the third was in "[=McStroke=]" when Stewie tricked her into making out with him while he was naked and got her arrested, and the fourth was in the episode "Dial Meg For Murder" when the hardened Meg hits hers and the others kids' heads with a sack full of soda cans, breaking their skulls and then Meg proceeds to humiliate Connie even further by [[HoYay kissing her full on the mouth]].

* ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'' had one towards [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Webby]] from [[WesternAnimation/Ducktales1987 the original series' run]], as her Quacky Patch Doll (which was based on Webby's design) is seen ''pinned to the wall with an arrow'' in the premiere episode.

* Suzaku Kururgi gets several [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech The Reason You Suck Speeches]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10448834/38/Six-Paths-of-Rebellion Six Paths of Rebellion]]'' for working for Britannia while espousing the evils of fighting the empire that conquered his homeland. After the Black Rebellion succeeds, he's the only Honorary Brittanian to choose against staying in the United States of Japan. And once his plans to rule Area 11 as the Knight of One are made known along with his supporting of atrocities such as the Shinjuku Massacre, he's regarded as the worst traitor in the history of Japan by the populace.

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Wipeout}} Wipeout Fusion]]'' was [[OddballInTheSeries was heavily different from the rest of the series]] and [[LoveItOrHateIt divisive]] among the fanbase. ''Wipeout Pure'' returned to the style of the original series and the backstory indicated that ''Fusion'''s F9000 league was corrupt and riddled with scandal, and almost killed anti-gravity racing as a legitimate sport.

** "Amy's Love Escape Journey!?" ends with [[ClingyJealousGirl Amy]] [[FacePlant face planting]] hard after Sonic dodges her [[TheGlomp glomp]], followed by Sonic and Sam ditching her.

** The first ''Flash'' episode after ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'' has Iris throw shade on [[spoiler:[[Series/{{Arrow}} Oliver and Felicity]] hijacking her and Barry's wedding]]. For further hilarity, Barry doesn't even try to defend them, silently agreeing with her and announcing that [[spoiler:he's putting their wedding gift (which wasn't even on Barry and Iris' wedding registry) into the "return" pile]]. Think of it on a Meta level, [[spoiler: that "[[MorePopularSpinoff The Flash]]" isn't too happy with "Arrow" either. Looks like some drama is unfolding in the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''.]]

* ''[[Series/TheFlash2014 The Flash]]'': Barry having had enough of his JerkAss coworker Julian's demands and hatred of all Metas, that even as the Flash he can't pass up an opportunity to shut him up when trying to save his ungrateful ass from Killer Frost.
