* ''Webcomic/{{Harbourmaster}}'' has one or two. Perius qualifies because his whole schtick is being 'the bad one' amongst a very ugly aristocratic family, and goes about needling everyone else around him -- playing up the fun scandals. And then there's Javin, who plays up the paparazzi aspect of being a PR reporter.

** Celestia is a bit of one herself. She does the TricksterMentor thing a number of times herself, and nearly always succeeds at it (in the first episode, no less!), and while she is never malicious, she definitely messes with quite a few ponies over the course of the show. Inviting the Mane Six to the Grand Galloping Gala to derail it on purpose is one of her more famous examples.

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': Louise, the youngest child of the Belcher family, is constantly messing with people she thinks are stupid. This list apparently includes her school guidance counselor, her other teachers, the neighbor kids, her own siblings and anyone she has just met. Whether she's gently teasing or deliberately trying to cause mayhem is often hard to tell; either way, she always brings the joke as far as it can possibly go. [[EnfantTerrible Louise is a frightening child.]]

''Especially'' Twilight, whom he occasionally tries to be a TricksterMentor to (to debatable levels of success).

Every time he published a story, he would mail it to his English professor who told him he was a poor writer. Soon after leaving college, he was fired from Creator/{{Disney}} on his first day by ''[[UsefulNotes/TheWaltDisneyFamilyAndTheNineOldMen Roy Disney himself]]'' after he was overheard making an off-color joke. At the 2006 Hugo Awards when he came onstage to accept his award, after being asked if he would behave he simply stated "no" and put the microphone in his mouth. When appearing AsHimself in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' he went out of his way to be a GrammarNazi to [[LikeIsLikeAComma Shaggy]].

During the interview, Monaghan/Jensen asked Wood a bunch of ridiculous questions (e.g., asking Wood if he played soccer, then clarifying with, "Do you [[GroinAttack kick balls]]?"); Monaghan couldn't keep a straight face and was barely able to keep from laughing. The result can be seen on the ''Return of the King'' extended edition DVD with an introduction from Wood (who, once the joke was revealed, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny found the whole thing "brilliant"]]).
