History PlayingWith / KarmaHoudiniWarranty

* ''Deconstructed'': Though Bob has escaped karma for years, it eventually catches up due to his reputation as a HateSink, leading to a brutal RasputinDeath that borders on KarmicOverkill.

* '''Inverted''': A character who often suffers blame for actions he didn't do is given a break when he actually does something wrong and someone else takes the blame.

** Bob and his whole family is brutally murdered and practically erased off the face of the planet because he accidentally spilled salt during a dinner that happened 7 years ago.

* '''Defied''': Bob is manipulative and crafty enough to thwart all attempts to punish him for his crimes.

** The way Bob's death is placed on screen is not satisfying at all. He just dies and that's it. Bob [[TheStoic doesn't reacts at all]] so there's no catharsis in seeing him undergo a VillainousBreakdown, it's not [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horrifying]] so gorehounds don't find it cool, it's not [[UndignifiedDeath truly undignified]] so there's no catharsis in the potential {{Narm}}, and [[DeadlyDistantFinale it's shown as a quick footnote]] [[WhereAreTheyNowEnding during the epilogue]] so there's no catharsis in it being spectacular (by itself or by being part of a major action sequence).

* '''Downplayed''': Bob usually gets punishments that come off as nothing compared to the severity of his crimes, but eventually receives a comeuppance where his fate is justly proportionate to the heinousness of his latest misdeed.

** Bob is carted off to jail for murdering a friend of the hero, but breaks out of prison not long after and continues getting away with horrible things.

* '''Double Subverted''':

* '''Parodied''': Bob's eventual punishment for all the misdeeds he got away with is to be forced to listen to a song he hates.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob alternates between getting away with his crimes and getting a suitable punishment for them.

** "Let's let Bob get away with his misdeeds for a while before he gets punished for his crimes. [[CatharsisFactor That way, the time he finally gets his comeuppance will be much more satisfying for the audience."]]
* '''Lampshaded''': "Looks like Bob forgot to take his anti-karma pills this morning".
* '''Invoked''': The people wronged by Bob take measures to ensure that he gets caught and faces punishment for his wrongdoings.
* '''Defied''': Bob is manipulative and crafty enough to thwart any and all attempts at punishing him for his crimes.

* '''Conversed''': "Bob finally got punished for all he's done? Better late than never".
