9	* The Gentleman from ''WebAnimation/AmongUsLogic'' is clearly insane and regularly beats up Mr. Cheese for even speaking, but is almost always impeccably polite.
10	* ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'': Four. His funky manners sometimes compensate his sometimes downright sadistic antics, and plus there's the fact that he's an alien and probably has a very vague idea of basic social rules.
11	* In ''WebAnimation/DiamondInTheRoughTouhou'', both the final villains [[spoiler:Yukari and Tenshi]] are educated, while the first hands presents to the gappies, the seconds clearly enjoys talking with them.
12	* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': While Melinda has a smug and sinister attitude about it, she is very chatty and keeps a cool head, even when she is fighting. She'll even engage in some SnarkToSnarkCombat with characters like Betty and Keedran.
13	* In {{WebAnimation/Grej}}, [=IngSoc=] despite being a would be tyrant who sees Literature/NineteenEightyFour as not a warning but a guide is a nice enough character who has no qualms whatsoever about having those who don’t join him {{unperson}}ed.
14	* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': As to be expected, the Seven Deadly Sins are the most powerful and most dangerous demons in all of Hell, being in the weight class directly below '''''Lucifer'''''. However, two of the three Sins that were explored in depth[[note]] The other one being Mammon, who's FauxAffablyEvil. [[/note]] wouldn't give that impression at first glance. For one thing, they both allow ''anyone'' regardless of their social standing to attend their events and establishments to have a good time, granted they don't take advantage of their hospitality. [[UptownGirl They also happen to be in genuinely loving relationships with their partners despite the distance in class.]]
15	** Bee-Lzebub is a NiceGirl and an excellent party host but she’s also [[EmbodimentOfVice the Queen of Gluttony]], with presumably all of which that entails. She's very clearly [[EmotionEater feeding off her guests' indulgences and gluttony]], she just happens to not be a jerk about it. She also views her work as ForHappiness, and discourages her guests from using her for DrowningTheirSorrows.
16	** Asmodeus is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who runs a RedLightDistrict, since when Moxxie starts singing a love song, he gives the imp a chance to revise it into an IntercourseWithYou song even though Asmodeus could have easily done ''much'' worse. In the end, the worst he does to Moxxie and Millie is tell them in a deep, scary voice to "[[GetOut GET THE]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] [[GetOut OUT]]!"
17	* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice''
18	** Clancy, the BigBad of "Bro Tip 40,000", is just a emphasisedly likeable, ordinary guy, except for the fact that he really wants to kill a Primarch (for no particular reason). He's also willing to inflict just as much collateral damage as it takes. Sorry about that.
19	** Curiously {{inverted}} with the Star Child when he's visiting the Dark Eldar: he plays the trope completely straight except that he's good rather than evil. Since it's emphasised that he's a being of compassion and IncorruptiblePurePureness, his affability is presumably genuine -- but he's also perfectly aware it's literally [[GoodHurtsEvil killing]] the Dark Eldar, who are fuelled by suffering. It's presumably an example of GoodIsNotSoft against irredeemably evil opponents, except that if it's genuine, he also genuinely regards them as his friends, so it seems also like a case of DoubleThink. Besides, they're almost okay with dying because GoodFeelsGood even when it's killing you.
20	* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'' has HiredGun and Marigold Gang driver Nico, who never loses his easygoing smirk or friendly tone, even when greeting rival gang GetawayDriver Ivy with a jocular "Hi!" three seconds before trying to shoot her through the door she'd just [[EscapeRouteSurprise slammed in his face]].
21	* ''WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats'': Carl is this, at least toward his best (and likely only) friend, Paul (though likely no one else). He is extremely cheerful when talking with Paul and appears to value him as a true friend. That said, he is still a SerialKiller, much to Paul's chagrin.
22	** It's severely [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] in the revival [[spoiler: as it becomes clear Paul functioned as both part of his serial killer MO and a subconscious MoralityChain. The depths of Carl's insanity are revealed in the several episodes after Paul abandons him, culminating in Carl destroying all life on Earth, including, unintentionally, Paul. When Carl finds this out, he has a [[VillainousBreakdown complete mental breakdown]] that ends in [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]]]].
23	* Medoner, of ''WebAnimation/TheNekciMenijShow'', is this -- despite being totally self-obsessed and willing to publicly insult every friend she has in song, she is still seen as the height of pop culture.
24	* The Ranch Hand from episode three of ''WebAnimation/NomadOfNowhere'' is a low life BountyHunter, that is willing to [[WouldHurtAChild threaten children]] to get his bounty, but while waiting for said bounty to arrive, he's also shown making small talk, telling jokes, and even sharing bits of his past with the people he was just terrorizing.
25	* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'':
26	** Counselor Aiden Price speaks in a calm, monotone voice and is rather polite, even to the point of functioning as the OnlySaneMan to the Director. However, the Counselor is downright ruthless when need be, such as when addressing Walter and using FalseReassurance to disguise their true plans.
27	** [[spoiler: Chairman Malcolm Hargrove]]/"Control". While it's not made entirely clear if he's [[FauxAffablyEvil faking it]] or not, he always speaks in a polite tone of voice that only goes away if he's sufficiently pissed off enough and even then, usually in the form of TranquilFury. He is so good at this, he even came off as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, before his true nature was revealed. Even when the BGC and the people of Chorus discover that he's Control, he doesn't lose his cool and calmly tells them that they can't leave Chorus.
28	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
29	** Although she slips occasionally, [[BigBad Salem]] is calm, friendly and polite, tailoring her behaviour to a person's personality, such as when she expresses gentle disappointment with Tyrian's failed mission, knowing his worship of her will leave him devastated over displeasing her. She chastises needless malice and patiently schools her subordinates whenever they turn on each other, such as when she patiently reprimands Watts for mocking Cinder's injuries. With the casual ease of a dinner conversationalist, she tasks her subordinates with duties that will enable terrorism, murder and mayhem, and teaches that flaunting the power to destroy lives is unnecessary when anyone can be exploited. She only drops her affable nature whenever someone challenges her authority. When Leo accidentally tells her she "must" act quickly to obtain the Spring Maiden before Qrow, Salem instantly has him partially strangled while she conversationally reminds him of how terrifying she is.
30	** Hazel Rainart, one of Salem's direct subordinates, is always polite to people, even to his enemies (unless it's Ozpin). He genuinely regrets having to fight Nora and Ren, and he asks Oscar to forgive him before attacking him. He is also disgusted with Adam's cold murder of Sienna Khan, believing it to be pointless.
31	* Bowser from ''WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' following his HeelFaceTurn in "Hotel Mario".
32	* ''WebAnimation/TohoKingdomToons'':
33	** Franchise/{{Godzilla}} himself is a city destroying monster, yet he is noticeably erudite and well-cultured.
34	-->'''Godzilla:''' Why must we engage in such senseless violence towards one another? Especially considering the glaring fact that both of us face a common foe?
35	** Anguirus as well.
36	** Even Spacegodzilla falls under this. Despite being the one of Godzilla's most evil foes, he, somehow, is able to host his own political talk show.
37	* In ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'', Applejack is a mobster with absolutely no qualms about getting her hooves dirty, yet she's cheerful and friendly to anyone she isn't threatening at the moment.
