* ''Series/DempseyAndMakepeace'': A quite dark example is shown amongst the trio of would-be bank-robbing teenagers in "No Surrender." [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Rawlings]] is the nice, being noticeably more polite towards the hostages and visibly unnerved with how the events have spiralled out of control, to the point of getting through it by turning up the music in his headset and trying to disassociate from it, and at times seems to want to surrender but is too afraid of the other to do so. [[AxCrazy Levey]] is the mean, being presented as a vicious sociopath with a chip on his shoulder and an obsession with not being perceived as "a nobody," who spends the episode chomping at the bit to hurt people, escalates the situation by flat-out randomly murdering a hostage to make the police take them seriously and taking a disturbing amount of glee out others being in his power. Leaving [[BigBadWannabe Ramsey]] as the in between, being the original mastermind behind the bank robbery, he initially comes across as a harsh criminal, only to quickly prove to be quite out of his depth, having never expected the events to escalate the way they did and clearly being uncomfortable with Levey's violence and coming close to surrendering multiple times, only for him to go back to being smug and vindictive at the end when he's convinced he has the upper hand again.

* ''Series/MonarchLegacyOfMonsters'': The Monarch trio who serve as the main characters in the 1950s half of the show's plot. Bill Randa, despite [[Film/KongSkullIsland what he will later become]], was ironically the sweetest and friendliest member of the bunch (Nice); Lee Shaw was a sardonic and confrontational JerkWithAHeartOfGold who believed that violence sometimes ''is'' the answer (Mean); and Dr. Keiko was more of a people person than Lee, but she was more standoffish and passive-aggressive than Bill, particularly where feelings that she was being judged on her gender were concerned (Inbetween).
