* Michele in ''The Saint of Bleecker Street'' is a bitter, resentful man, nearly a HollywoodAtheist in his cynical attitude towards religion. Nobody really trusts him, even before [[spoiler:he murders his girlfriend Desideria]], yet he still gets invited to sing at Carmela's wedding while [[DoubleStandard Desideria does not]]. This may be because his [[IncestSubtext beloved sister]], [[IllGirl Annina]], is Carmela's best friend and was invited to the wedding.

#'''Seniority'''--The group members have known this person for a long time. They might have even genuinely liked him or her at one point, but years of maturity and development (either by the disliked "friend" or by the others) resulted in this member no longer fitting in. Despite this, they continue to hang out with this person out of obligation, loyalty or familiarity.

This is TruthInTelevision. Chances are you have a "friend" like this (or multiple "friends"), or you may even be that "friend" yourself.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17221694/chapters/40497293 La Squadra Special Mission: Seduce the Boss]]'', overlapping with EvenEvilHasStandards, La Squadra is disgusted by Melone for his perverted tendencies and nasty habit of impregnating random women to produce juniors for his Stand.

* Truman from ''Film/{{TheTrumanShow}}'': The people who play his friends and family go out of their way to avoid him and mostly only care about their paycheck. Unusually for this trope, this is not the fault of Truman or his personality, and is more that the "cast" of the show are associated with him because they're actors and not his friends.

** V3 has Kokichi Oma (for being a liar and a {{Troll}}), Korekiyo Shinguji (for being creepy), and Miu Iruma (for being rude, overly sexual, and kind of a jerk).

* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'': The Seven’s [[TrueCompanions sense of companionship]] has [[WeUsedToBeFriends taken a lot of hits over the years]], but they’re still able to mostly tolerate each other and get along, if only for brief periods... with the sole, pointed exception of Incubus, whom the other six all hate with a passion. It’s bad enough that he’s a [[SmugSnake smug, self-obsessed dickhead]], but he’s also [[spoiler:a ReplacementScrappy for [[CoolOldLady Maya]]; that Key in his head is ''hers'' and he only got it because she abandoned it for personal reasons, a fact that the others are all too glad to remind him of.]] And on top of all that, [[TheStarscream he openly plots against the others]], not even bothering with a facade, and they can’t do anything about it without risking the tenuous peace. The only one who legitimately tolerates him is [[BigBad Jagganoth]], who only does so because [[spoiler:Incubus is his [[TheDragon Dragon]] and co-conspirator in the plot to restart the Universal War.]]

* ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'': [[DirtyKid Cody]] is this Junior and Joseph are always making fun of him.
** [[{{Jerkass}} Bowser Junior]] is this also in "Stuck!" Joseph and Cody admit they don’t really like him and just use him for his TV.

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': Stella isn't very well-liked by Danny's parents, but it's {{justified|Trope}}, given that they had met while their kids were missing during ''Lost'' and everyone assumed that their disappearance was due to Stella badmouthing Danny and arguing with Star over it. Because of this, as well as Stella's thoughtlessness/lack of responsibility, they begin to dislike her. Even when Stella apologized to Danny, they did not forgive her and make it clear that they only associate with her due to her daughter being Danny's girlfriend.
** It is more prominent during ''Bonding'', Maddie and Jack barely hid their dislike of Stella and seemed to bond more with Jonathan. When Stella and Johnathan started arguing, both Jack and Maddie make it clear that they are on Johnathan's side and admit how they really feel about her and her past actions. Thankfully, after the ghost attack and Stella risking her life to save Star, they acknowledge what she did and let bygones be bygones. By ''Sick'', they are much more civil with Stella.

#'''Necessity'''--They're worth keeping around because they're useful (can be a BunnyEarsLawyer, an IndispensableScoundrel, TheTeamBenefactor, the CloudcuckoolandersMinder or the TeamMom[=/=]TeamDad).
#'''Control'''--Someone with power over the group (parents, teachers, bosses, etc.) is forcing them to include this person, who is likely a [[DungeonmastersGirlfriend spouse/partner]] or [[{{Nepotism}} relative]] to said higher power. The disliked friend could even be that authority figure themselves.
