* WebVideo/OnCinema: Gregg considers On Cinema to be a highly respected institution, going so far as to call it "the premeire source in the United States and worldwide" for movie information

to:

* WebVideo/OnCinema: Gregg Gregg, in his on cinema persona, considers On Cinema to be a highly respected institution, going so far as to call it "the premeire source in the United States and worldwide" for movie informationinformation and considers himself a "film expert". There is little evidence that anyone actually believes this and the one time an actual academic film studies instructor, film producer Larry Turman, is brought in as a quest, he critiques Gregg for lacking the expertise needing to be an actual film expert.

* Draco Malfoy in ''AVeryPotterMusical'' is this trope through {{Flanderization}} of his original character and he's surprisingly more canon than DracoInLeatherPants. He's a bullying coward who believes the only thing keeping him from being the coolest kid in school is Harry and is constantly trying pose and failing ''spectacularly''. He does shape up and join the good guys later on in the show but he's still got the ego.

* WebVideo/ConfusedMatthew is often perceived as this. He got considerable backlash for attacking Creator/RogerEbert and claiming he was either an idiot or a liar for recommending ''Film/MinorityReport''. And for attacking Creator/StanleyKubrick in his review of ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''.
** It isn't so much egotism, rather he is simply very opinionated, very opposed to common viewpoints on movies, has very high standards, and (most importantly) very LOUD!

* [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] the character is this, berating his fans for asking his opinions on comics. Of course, out-of-character, an "I love you guys" is very quickly added. Lewis himself admits to having an ego, but he makes sure to refine his skills in order to stay on AwesomeEgo territory.
** A recent arc even focused on his arrogance being the first step on the path to a FaceHeelTurn. Time will tell how long this lasts.

* Jim Sterling, at least the character with the same name as him he plays in WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}, ends every video with "Thank God for me." He regularly says things like "there you go, I have, once again single-handedly saved the video game industry." Although, it has to be noted that when standing on his podium next to the ComicBook/{{VForVendetta}}-style background much of what he says is firmly in SarcasmMode territory.

* Matt in ''WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay'' during the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' video. He had played the game beforehand and thought he would kick Pat's ass. He did at first, but Pat eventually learned how to play the game and did much better than Matt, and showed that he actually knew who the characters were. And that's not taking into account the ''incredible'' level of humiliation they ''both'' suffered at the hands of an unnamed third guy, who was far more intimately familiar with the game than either of them.
** Third person was probably [[OnlySaneMan Woolie]].
