6	->''"Tell me, Bats, what are you really scared of? Failing to save this cesspool of a city? Not finding the commissioner in time? Me, in a thong?"''
7	-->-- '''[[Characters/BatmanArkhamSeriesTheJoker The Joker]]''', ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum''
8	ArsonMurderAndJaywalking in VideoGames.
9	----
10	* The surreal and unexpectedly bizzaire ''VideoGame/SeventySevenPEggwife'' has this in its ContentWarnings:
11	--> 77p egg: Eggwife contains blood and gore, intense violence, cannibalism, nudity, very strong language, drug use, cartoon depictions of consensual sex, cartoon depictions of death caused by sexual mishap, excessive excrement including vomit and semen, animal cruelty, ''presence of sex toys''.
12	* In ''VideoGame/AgentUnderFire'', R is listing off all the (impressive) combat improvements to the BMW at the end of the second level, and finishes with, "And of course... [[MundaneMadeAwesome A refrigerated beverage holder]]."
13	* In ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires Online'', the port master tells a tale of how bandits ransacked his home, murdered his wife, set fire to his fishing nets, stole his harpoons, [[KickTheDog boiled his cat]], drank his grog, and sat in his favorite chair. Oh, and they also kidnapped his children, which he wants you to rescue.
14	* In ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol'', when warned what can happen if he gets caught, Thorton replies, "I know. Execution; imprisonment; possibly another lecture from Westbridge ..."
15	* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'':
16	-->'''The Joker:''' Tell me, Bats, what are you really scared of? Failing to save this cesspool of a city? Not finding the Commissioner in time? [[FoeRomanceSubtext Me... IN A THONG!!??]]
17	* ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'': In Season 2, John Doe expresses to Bruce Wayne the reasons why he hates the Riddler thusly:
18	-->'''John Doe''': He's a thief and a killer and ''worst'' of all he's -- he's ''rude''.
19	* Ragna the Bloodedge, the AntiHero protagonist of ''Franchise/BlazBlue'', is an SS-rank criminal and outlaw who has [[OneManArmy single-handedly]] destroyed two government branches of the [=NOL=], killing many people present. Thanks to [[TheDitz Taokaka]] and [[BrattyHalfPint Platinum]], he also ends up adding dine-and-dashing to his rap sheet as well ([[PlayedForLaughs and it's hilarious]]).
20	* ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'':
21	** In-game posters state that Salvador is wanted for manslaughter, theft, arson, destruction of property, trespassing, [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], public indecency, and… profanity.
22	** According to her profile card, Gaige is wanted for "creation of unauthorized technology, murder, and excessive adorability".
23	* In the opening cinematic for ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', Jimmy describes the alumni of [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors Bullworth Academy]] as "nothing but arms dealers, mass murderers, and [[AmoralAttorney corporate lawyers]]." Of course, some people would argue lawyers are ''worse'' than the first two...
24	* ''[[VideoGame/TheConduit The Conduit 2]]'''s Wikipedia page describes some stages you fight on, it reads:\
25	''"The game is set to take place in a wide variety of areas. What has been shown so far is a Trust owned oil rig, Atlantis, the Lost City of Z, Washington D.C, Siberia, China and England. In the previous game, D.C was war torn, but it will have [[MonumentalDamage even more damage]] inflicted on it now. However, in an interview at E3 it was stated that Ford will be able to go to China."''
26	** SO D.C. is pretty much destroyed, and in this game, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment it will be destroyed even more]], but Ford can go to China. Hoo-rah.
27	* The backstory of ''VideoGame/CoffeeCrisis'', where aliens invade earth to steal our our rock music, cat videos, and ''coffee''.
28	* In ''VideoGame/CrusaderKingsII'' DLC The Reaper's Due, new prisoner interactions include humiliation, torture, mutilation, cannibalism, and [[SuckinessIsPainful reading bad poetry to them]].
29	* In ''VideoGame/DarkSeedII'', Mike Dawson tells his mother that what he went through the previous year was "far worse than anything you could imagine." Her response? "I've lost a husband and a sister to cancer, your father left me no insurance money, ''and I have arthritis''."
30	* In ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective'', the city library is plagued with the ghosts of dead authors. The ghost of Creator/EnidBlyton disapproves of the others, saying that they're all terrible people like occultists, horror writers, and DIY fanatics.
31	* In ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', Baby Bonnie Hood's routine as an assassin is as follows (note the fifth one):
32	-->1. Attending the conference Hunters Guild of the Northern European Alpine Branch to secure part of the silly profit, interchanging with the other Hunters is necessary. 2. Obtaining weapons and ammunition through illegal means. A first class job requires first class materials. 3. Maintaining portable weapons at home. To every Hunter, skipping this is suicidal. 4. Making gunpowder mixtures for mines. Continuously researching is the sign of a professional. [[VillainsOutShopping 5. Going to town to buy food and clothing, and going to Grandmother's house to do errands.]] 6. Training for controlled shooting, such as shooting 50 targets while performing a 100 m (328 ft) dash. Basic training is the foundation for advanced skill. One must not forget to always return to the basics. 7. Using the satellite Catastrophe, a camouflaged military satellite, to retrieve information on Darkstalkers. Information gathering is the key to the current Hunter business. One must use any means possible to eliminate the target. 8. Enter the Dark Hunting Grand Prix held twice a year. A target is decided upon and they compete to see who can hunt it down first. This is a competition for the Hunters to test their own skills, but not all Hunters compete in this tournament.
33	* The second ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'' has Crypto using a list of reasons to try and turn the Russian cosmonauts against [[spoiler:the Blisk]]: they're trying to mind-control the cosmonauts, they're giant freakin' lobsters from outer freakin' space, and they're taking away all the vodka. [[SeriousBusiness That last one starts a riot.]]
34	* In ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'', on the second visit to Hengsha, Adam has to enter the Harvesters' base. If he does so, kills a lot of Harvesters to get to Tong, and made friends with Tong on his first visit, Tong will have this to say:
35	-->"I am disappointed in you, Mr. Jensen. I thought we were friends. My hacker goes missing. You break into my place of business. Half my men end up dead. And you don't even knock when entering a room."
36	** Also one of Pritchard's mails on security for employees: DON'T give your friends your access cards, DON'T meet your friends and family in your workplace, and most importantly, [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil DON'T Play shareware games during lunch hour]].
37	** Not so unreasonable, considering how a company that makes electronic prosthetics for the military would be worried about spyware getting on the network.
38	* ''VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar'' plays with this, with a request for an inventory of Servo nets, energy clips, rotator bearings, and coffee from the weapons department.
39	* ''VideoGame/DiscoElysium:'' Innocences are spiritual and temporal leaders, and a few of them were false:
40	--> The most famous -- and important -- of these was Ernö Pasternak. He was into torture, despotism, hymns, cannons, and world conquest, but got defeated by Stepan the Despicable of Kedra.
41	* The ExcusePlot of ''VideoGame/DLCQuest'' is that an evil sorcerer kidnapped Princess Macguffin, murdered the protagonist's uncle, and peed in the town's water supply.
42	-->'''Shopkeeper:''' [[LampshadeHanging That seems a bit less important now.]]
43	* The Grand Grimoire's entry on the devil in ''Dr. Ludwig and the Devil'':
44	-->''Lucifer, also knowne as Satan, sits on the highe throwne of Hell, reigning o'er the nether worlde with his iron fiste. Once the highest of angels, he hath notte forgotten his nature.\
45	\
46	It is notte recommend'd to trye to summon him, for he is powerful & deceitful & a terrible house gueste.''
47	* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'', this conversation between [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Nathaniel]] [[BelligerentSexualTension and]] [[{{Tsundere}} Velanna]]. Though, it also gets a genuine reaction from her.
48	-->'''Nathaniel:''' How do you feel about having killed all those people because you were too arrogant to check your facts?
49	-->'''Velanna:''' Warm and fuzzy.
50	-->'''Nathaniel:''' You are a terrible, terrible person. And your ears are clownish.
51	** The core ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' had a few, ranging from Zevran pointing out that you can kill with knives, magic, and small children launched at great speed, to the female City Elf Warden lamenting that at her wedding, there were rapists ''and'' they got the wrong cake.
52	* The ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'' promotional video starts out with one of these: "First on the scene! First with the news! ''Last'' in the journalist's invitational softball tournament! ''This is Hot Topic!''"
53	* The first ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea\|HourOfDarkness}}'' gave us this little bit of gold, when describing the "ultimate Zombie":
54	-->'''Aramis:''' ''"The fists of a Dark Karate master... The legs of the fastest demon in the Netherworld... The brain of Mahogany, a famous sorcerer... The iron body of Hercules... And a'' '''''[[RefugeInAudacity horse wiener!]]'''''''"''
55	** Naturally, Laharl's reaction to all of them is smug disdain, except for the last, which worries him. Even the [[spoiler:flavor text of the item once you steal it]] reflects this.
56	* In ''VideoGame/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight'', Marisa says a line like this to Reimu in the Magic Team's playthrough.
57	-->'''Marisa:''' You're right. The endless night, stealing the full moon, hiding the human village, and putting hats on stone statues, it's all Alice's fault. Now bitch, get out of the way!
58	* In ''VideoGame/DrillDozer'', Jill [[spoiler:gets arrested for theft, vandalism, avoiding the police, and skipping out on 17 checks]].
59	* At the end of one of the last maps of ''VideoGame/DungeonKeeper'', your mentor mentions how vampires have sucked the life out of everyone in the land, poisoned the wells, and 'smeared dung all on all the door handles as a joke'.
60	* In ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'', after defeating the gang plaguing the first town, the mayor thanks you and summarises your conquests thusly: "You beat up the town bullies! Punched them out big time, kicked their butts, bit their heads off, spit in their eyes, and made them wet their pants! Then you made them promise not to make anymore trouble in town!"
61	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
62	** Mephala is a [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] whose sphere is "obscured to mortals", but is thought to include [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation, lies, sex, and secrets]]. She is also associated with ''fashion trends''.
63	** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', if you ask the old man at the beginning about the Law in Morrowind:
64	--->'''Socucius Ergalla:''' Theft, Trespass, Assault, Foul Murder, and Contempt are serious crimes; criminals pay compensation or serve sentences of punitive labor.
65	** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'', a wanted poster for the [[KingOfThieves Grey Fox]] charges him with "theft, embezzlement, forgery, pickpocketing, counterfeiting, burglary, conspiracy to commit theft, grand larceny, tax evasion, slander, fraud, perfidy, and ''impertinence''."
66	** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'':
67	*** When all those city guards warn you against lollygagging, ''they mean it'', as you learn when you meet an Orc Bandit named Borkul the Beast in the Cidhna Mines prison:
68	---->'''Player:''' So what are you in for?\
69	'''Borkul:''' Murder, Banditry, Assault, Theft... and lollygagging.
70	*** To quote Thonar Silver-Blood, the guy that runs Cidhna Mines, he uses the {{Boxed Crook}}s inside to get rid of competitors, agents, and idiots.
71	*** This [[http://www.driftstream.net/nes/2013/01/16/forty-days-of-skyrim-day-thirty-three/ Let's Play]]: "''Y’know, Skryim (sic) is a great game, and I have a lot of fun playing it. But there’s no denying that it has problems. It’s [[GameBreakingBug buggier than a termite hive]], [[GoddamnedBats full of goddamned wolves]], and [[ADogNamedDog I can’t name my horse]].''"
72	*** At the very beginning, the group of criminals being executed have committed such crimes as leading an open rebellion, horse theft... and being in the general area when the others were arrested. (That last one is you, by the way.)
73	*** Sheogorath cites a short list of the many things Emperor Pelagius feared and hated in life, including wild dogs, assassins, the undead, and pumpernickel.
74	* In ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'', Kaguya apologizes to Cardia on behalf of the party fighting through the starting dungeon (actually one of her force's ships) and "destroying a few machines... And robots... And I didn't make the bed when I left."
75	* The second cinematic in ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' shows Mickey strapped to an operating table, with the Mad Doctor controlling a device that has shears, a corkscrew/drill hybrid, a chainsaw, and a toilet plunger. Then it turns out it's supposed to remove Mickey's heart and suddenly gets scarier.
76	* In ''VideoGame/FableI'' and ''Fable II'', after you commit crimes in a town, a guard will run up to you and charge you with a list of all of them, offering you options of how to respond to the charges (pay a fine, run away, etc). In many cases, you've just finished rampaging through a town destroying everything and everyone in your path, and then a guard charges you with 30+ counts of murder and one count of vandalism from that door you kicked down.
77	** It's even worse in the first game during the tutorial; if you gave the teddy bear to the bully, you are ''damn'' sure going to hear about it from the guard.
78	* Creator/{{Bethesda}} really likes this one. In ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', if you ask Moira Brown what sort of work is involved in helping her with her Wasteland Survival Guide, she replies "Let's see... dealing with radiation, testing an experimental device, and I won't lie to you, it may involve some ''reading''. That sort of stuff."
79	** In-universe, however, it very well could be justified. This is a world where dealing with radiation, and pre-war technology is a common thing. Notably rare, however, if not completely absent outside of the Vaults, are English/reading classes.
80	** In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', when you enter the abandoned Sunset Sarsaparilla factory, you can talk to the animatronic of Festus, the company mascot, who reveals what is probably the reason the place was closed: a health advisory that played on the news when it was still running claimed that excessive consumption of their product could lead to kidney damage, nausea, digital numbness, anxiety, loss of visual acuity, dizziness, occasional nosebleeds, joint inflammation, tooth decay, sore throat, bronchitis, organ rupture, and halitosis.
81	** In ''VideoGame/Fallout76'', the Protectrons in the Whitespring mall ask you to refrain from theft, looting, assault, murder, or trampling the flowers.
82	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' Right before the Battle of the Gardens, the player is given the choice of various orders to have Squall give to Balamb Garden. The choices involve their battle strategy, but one involves what to do with the hot dogs. (You're [[WhatTheHellHero called out]] if you go overboard with the orders, though.)
83	** As well as in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', with Kefka. "Phooey! Emperor Gesthal's stupid orders! Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of a stinking desert?!? These recon jobs are the pits!" "...AHEM! There's SAND on my boots!"
84	* In the ''Stormblood'' expansion to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', you are introduced to Hancock, who greets you by listing out your more particular feats: "Slayer of Gods...Rider of Dragons...Savior of Ishgard...Stealer of Pants!" That last one becomes 100% true if you completed Hildebrand's ''Heavensward'' missions before coming here.
85	* According to the [[DirtyCommunists Soviet]] propaganda in ''VideoGame/FreedomFighters2003'', "Last three American presidents were corrupt, involved in assassination of foreign contries' leaders, and cheated on their wives."
86	* Inverted in the NES game ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'' (not to be confused with the Irrational Games title of the same name), the Elite Assassins have jaywalking, forging passports, and storming embassies on listed on their rap sheet in that order, [[{{Narm}} all in the name of]] [[AttentionWhore getting on TV news.]]
87	* In the opening of ''VideoGame/FreedomWars'', you new accessory lists off the restrictions your [[LongerThanLifeSentence Sinner]] is under: "You are forbidden to leave your cell. You are forbidden to take your own life. You are forbidden to sleep lying down." Crosses over with AllCrimesAreEqual, as they go on to list several other mundane things (like ''pacing'') that you're not allowed to do, to hammer home a CODE-1 Sinner has no rights at all.
88	* The chat rules for ''VideoGame/TheGodfather: Five Families'' are "No profanity, personal attacks, hate speech, spam or links"
89	* On the back of the PC cover for ''VideoGame/{{Grand Theft Auto\|Classic}}''.
90	--> Murder, road rage, pimping, bank raids, hijackings, armed robbery, extortion, adultery, smuggling, petty thievery, drug busts, police bribes, unlawful carnal knowledge, and double parking!
91	* In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'', one of the guests on [[Radio/GTARadio KCHAT]] is a [[DoesNotLikeMen man-hating]] StrawFeminist who criticizes men for drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, and wearing hats.
92	* In ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'', Soseki Natsume tells Ryunosuke and Susato how he was being interrogated by the police during his arrest.
93	--> '''Soseki Natsume''': "You did it, didn't you?" "Confess!" "You're a killer!" "Why the moustache?"
94	* In ''VideoGame/GuildWars'', when the Asura golemancer Zinn is put on trial, the charges against him are given as "1. Mathematical turpitude. 2. Gross flummoxery in the first degree. 3. Reckless instigation of mayhem WITHOUT a permit. 4. An overdue library tome".
95	** ''Winds of Change'' has a Stone Summit Dwarf who declares the players "killed our leader, slaughtered hundreds of my kin, disrupted our mining facility, and [=TRESPASSED ON OUR LAND=]!"
96	** Sif Shadowhunter: "I am Sif, great hunter of the north, slayer of ten dozen wolves, threescore bear, and one vicious rabbit."
97	* ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' has a classic example in Guild Bounty target "Devious Teesa", who is apparently wanted for "theft, attempted assassination, and incorrect filling of Patent Form 12.21-D".
98	* There was a PC game in TheEighties which provided a {{backstory}} for, of all things, ''Hangman''. According to the story, the PlayerCharacter's friend was arrested for murder, arson, manslaughter, grand theft auto, and a list of other felonies, and also "extreme ugliness."
99	-->But the judge, being a benevolent sort, is willing to commute the sentence down to just extreme ugliness provided that the accused has one friend. GUESS WHO?
100	* ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead OVERKILL'', gives us this (slightly but [[NarmCharm intentionally]] {{Narm}}-ish) line at the end of the game as Agent G lists off what the BigBad has accomplished.
101	-->'''G''': "You've broken a hundred laws, caused the deaths of countless thousands, endangered the safety of every man, woman, and child on this planet, and you put our friend's ''BrainInAJar!''"
102	* At the end of ''VideoGame/HuntDownTheFreeman'', Mitchell confronts [[spoiler:Adam, a traitor in his organization]], and accuses him of, among other things, attacking Mitchell with a crowbar during [[VideoGame/HalfLife the Black Mesa incident]] (something that Mitchell blamed Gordon Freeman for).
103	-->'''Mitchell''': You lied to me. You betrayed me. You used me. You fucked up my face.
104	* ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory'': When [[spoiler:Hyperdimension Rei starts attacking Ultradimension Planeptune]], Neptune lists suggestions for what's happening.
105	-->'''Neptune:''' Lightning? Earthquake? An oil spill lit on fire? A really strict father?
106	* In ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', ComicBook/TheJoker's [[http://www.comicvine.com/forums/gen-discussion/1/injustice-gods-among-us-joker-leak/671385/ biography]] says that his crimes include, "Terrorism, murder, arson, larceny, robbery, racketeering, kidnapping, torture and jaywalking".
107	* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', Jigoro, Shizune's father, calls Hisao "An amoral, directionless glue-huffer, with a complete lack of etiquette and absolutely no fashion sense".
108	* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' gives us Thanatos and his job bonuses.
109	--> '''[[spoiler:Hades]]:''' He ''is'' the god of death, after all. So he gets perks, like evil powers and health insurance. Oh, and free soda.
110	* ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'': Genie's attempts to get his worried thoughts about Aladdin out of his mind involved dynamite, sledgehammers, and tweezers.
111	* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'':
112	** Azazel's Temple in the demon city of Pandemonium is described as "your basic evil hellish demon dwelling: the decorative motifs include blood, pulsating skin, flames, and the occasional throw rug to add some visual interest."
113	** Quoth the [[http://www.mrphlip.com/kol/cyoa/ first]] ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' [[{{Gamebooks}} Choose Your Own Adventure]] parody Jick wrote for Comicon: "just as it looks like the poor kid is going to lose the race, his opponent suddenly catches on fire, turns into a frog, gets scurvy, then trips and falls."
114	** According to the back story of the in-game holiday Labór Day, after union boss Manuel Labór successfully lobbied to cut vacation time and make both the workday and work-week longer, he was "dragged out into the streets and [[RasputinianDeath hung, drawn, painted, messily sketched, quartered, eighthed, fed to wolves, and given an atomic wedgie]] by outraged laborers."
115	** The voodoo snuff dropped by the Hobopolis mini-boss Zombo is "made from the powdered left hand of a gravedigger, who was hung at a crossroads, at the stroke of midnight, for tax evasion."
116	* In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestII[[VideoGameRemake +]]'', Ma Pumpkin's description of [[WickedWitch Hagatha]] combines this with BreadEggsMilkSquick: "You know her type... green warts, pointed ears, [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalistic]], doesn't put her trash out."
117	* Inverted in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' with [[PsychoForHire HK-47's]] complaints about the HK-51, [[EvilIsPetty complaining they are cheap knock-offs that butcher his original design]], when the player can point out that they look very similar to him. Something that he rages less about is the fact that a bunch of assassin droids running around looking like him will make it harder for him to work as an assassin since people will know what he looks like, a much more logical reason for hating them.
118	* Almost literal examples in ''VideoGame/LANoire''. When Cole arrests people, he lists off their crimes and doesn't always do so in ascending order of seriousness.
119	-->'''Cole''': You are under arrest for narcotics trafficking, attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and destruction of LAPD property!
120	** Somewhat humorous considering the fact that he was dead serious while listing those charges. There's no messing around on this trope with him.
121	* On the reveal of ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' champion Jinx, her wanted poster listed her crimes as:
122	--> "murder, unprovoked assault, disturbing the peace, public indecency, murder again, unauthorized property recoloration, unflattering impersonation of an officer, reckless hexplosive detonation, destruction of the peace, really petty larceny, exorbitant weapon size, some more murders, inciting mass hysteria, making fun of the peace, aggravated jaywalking and forging of official wanted posters."
123	* In ''[[VideoGame/LEGOBatman LEGO DC Super-Villains]]'', when the villains are discussing how the Justice Syndicate, who are actually the Crime Syndicate, don't seem very heroic, Reverse-Flash complains that they trashed his lair, the Riddler complains that they broke all his henchmen, and Captain Cold complains that they interrupted his evil monologue.
124	* ''VideoGame/LiberalCrimeSquad'' often has rap sheets that read like this:
125	-->The defendant, Akira Copeland, is charged with treason, 4 counts of aiding a prison escape, 427 counts of felony assault, 560 counts of murder, 2 counts of arson, 2 counts of credit card fraud, 67 counts of breaking and entering, 13 counts of vandalism, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace.
126	* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' has two examples:
127	** Professor E. Gadd worries that the absence of the Dark Moon will make the ghosts go crazy, cause worldwide terror, and worst of all, ruin his research.
128	** Gadd says in mission A-5's description, where you have to get rid of all the spider webs, "They're blocking our progress AND they ruin the furniture AND they're just plain gross!"
129	* One of Madame Bwastrella's tarot cards in ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' is described as being a bringer of "famine, death, poverty, sickness and no dessert after supper."
130	* ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'':
131	** After recruiting the criminal, Jack, there's a hilarious subversion as you ask her about the crimes she's committed. Part of her answer: "Murder, assault, kidnapping, drugs, stealing, arson. Done it all. And that was the boring shit. Piracy, theft of military craft, destruction of a space station, and vandalism. That was a good one." Turns out the vandalism was [[ColonyDrop crashing that space station into a moon]] and making a crater out of a hanar holy site. The hanar ''really'' liked that moon.
132	** If you rescue workers in Dantius Towers while looking for [[ProfessionalKiller Thane]], one of them will send you an email telling you how he felt inspiration as he saw Thane moving with grace and power like a dancer. He finishes by telling you he's also going to buy some nice clothes.
133	* Dr. Dabble from ''[[VideoGame/BlasterMysterySeries Math Blaster Mystery: The Great Brain Robbery]]'' is wanted for "grand larceny and non-payment of electric bill."
134	* The MO of the Space Pirates from ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': kill those who get in their way, conduct unethical biological experiments to make killer bio-weapons that may or may not obey them, take any interesting tech/stuff that isn't bolted down and use/reverse engineer it for their own benefit... even if it means stealing doorway technology.
135	* ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland2LeChucksRevenge'':
136	** A wanted list starts off by listing Guybrush Threepwood for murder and some various petty crimes. As you progress through the game, the list becomes more and more ridiculous, including cheating at a spitting contest, vandalizing a public library's lighthouse model, and stealing a pet rat.
137	** When Guybrush applies for a library card, and is asked to list his vices, the player's options are "jaywalking", "nose-picking", and "murder, arson, thievery, that sort of thing."
138	* In ''VideoGame/MyLittleInvestigations'', when the Cutie Mark Crusaders tried to get their cutie marks in interpretive dance, they set a tiger loose, Rarity's mane was on fire, and Opalescence was stuck in a tree.
139	* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights: Hordes of the Underdark'', in one of the lines where Deekin is writing his book: "And the mighty hero crept into the mage's tower, ready for anything! Magic, demons, mazes, vicious bread puddings... well, okay, maybe not bread puddings..."
140	* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'', Tressa is terrified of "ghosts, thunder, and debts".
141	* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'', the end of the Winterbloom route of Castti's second chapter features a travel banter where Throné complains about Greg. After all the trouble he caused during the chapter, Throné says that he's cheeky, selfish, whiny, and cowardly... and he has a pretentious haircut.
142	* In ''VideoGame/OhSirTheInsultSimulator'', you can potentially start your insult with "Your sister is old and will die soon" and end it with "Your math teacher never watched Star Wars".
143	* {{Invoked\|Trope}} by Overkill Software as part of their "FBI Files" update for ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'', where -- amongst other things -- they added [[http://fbi.overkillsoftware.com a subsection on their site where you can look up the FBI dossier your chosen character has]]. You'll see the expected crimes (e.g. first-degree murder, destruction of private property, arson, and grand theft auto)... but in addition to that, you might find entries such as littering, disturbing the peace, maritime irregularity, and, yes, jaywalking.
144	* In ''VideoGame/Persona5 [[UpdatedRerelease Royal]]'', we have this bit from May 30:
145	-->'''Kasumi''': What were all the crimes I'd heard? Burglary, murder, and... elephant tusk trafficking, was it?\
146	'''Protagonist''': ''[possible option]'' I drive without a license, too.[[note]]This is technically true, given what Morgana can turn into.[[/note]]\
147	'''Kasumi''': ''[giggle]'' Even I can tell you're joking.
148	* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Justice for All'', unlucky cop Maggey Byrde explains that her life has been a constant string of disasters, giving examples of falling from a nine-story building at six months old, constantly getting sick from various foods, being hit by all manner of vehicles, failing nearly every test she's ever attempted, and never winning or even tying at a game of TabletopGame/TicTacToe.
