13	[[AC:{{Crossover}}]]
14	* ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'': Tamaki really can't catch a break - he ends up getting kicked into the red lion, and then passes out from shock when Voltron unveils itself.
15	* ''Fanfic/CoOpMode'': [[AuthorAvatar James]], the main character, is this in the story.
16	* Palpatine is clearly one from Wolf's ''Fanfic/CrazinessCandyJediKnightsAndWhat''. [[AuthorAvatar Wolf]] despises him, so therefore the universe does as well.
17	* Over the course of ''Fanfic/CrossCases'', Crowley does not have a very good time in the Dresdenverse. He tries to cut a deal with a warlock for his soul and [[spoiler:nearly gets locked up on Demonreach while fulfilling his end of the bargain (himself, because he didn't have access to any of his agents that could do it for him), then gets his meatsuit turned into a frog for his troubles]]. He [[spoiler:finds another meatsuit and]] goes to Sam for help, but Sam [[spoiler:with Lucifer's help]] Force-chokes him and he threatens to kill Crowley before slapping him in demon handcuffs and frog-marching him back. Then Harry lets Alfred get petty and make Crowley trip over sudden tree roots and potholes, fall into puddles, get whacked by tree branches, and walk into swarms of mosquitoes on his way to the teleportation ritual site while gently aiding the others. And he didn't even get the warlock's soul out of this mess!
18	* In ''Fanfic/TheDifferenceOneManCanMake'', Maester Gareth is this to Harry's Clan due to him trying to "civilize" them. [[spoiler:He later gives up and it gets somewhat better for him.]]
19	* In the ''Series/{{House}}''/''Series/OnceUponATime'' fanfic ''Fanfic/DefinitelyNotLupus'', Chase is repeatedly beaten down for the sake of comedy. House is constantly mocking him over Cameron (Emma) being married to Regina, who he sees as trading up. Snow hits him with a lamp for breaking Emma's heart. Emma knocks him out with a clock and Regina punches him for suggesting that Emma would cheat on her. Emma pretends to seduce him and then rips his heart out.
20	* ''Fanfic/DuranAndKiyohimesOmakeTheater'' Natsuki still seems to be targeted by the universe in general for embarrassment, such as falling face-first into the snow when she trips over one of the borrows Kiyohime left in the snow. And in another chapter, her bikini is snatched from her by the currents, leaving her [[NakedPeopleAreFunny crouching naked and embarrassed while trying to figure out how to get to the car unseen]].
21	* In the ''[[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy ED-Ucation]]'' fanfics, Nazz is treated like a Butt Monkey by [[WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken Teacher]].
22	* ''Fanfic/TheEmiyaClan'': [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Lancer]] is summoned up to help take care of the kids because Gil is getting overburdened with nanny duties. He proceeds to last about fifteen minutes before he gets chucked into a wall by [[SuperStrength Kumako]] and riddled with bullets by [[TheGunslinger Keiko]]. During the Christmas Special he gets summoned by Zelretch and Alter!Illya as an expendable source of entertainment. Over the course of the day, he gets crushed, impaled, sliced up, burned, frozen, electrified, smashed in the groin, terrified to death, used as a projectile weapon, and several other things. Oh, and when he dies, he gets resummoned immediately, again...and again...and again...and again...
23	* Sometimes in ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'', Loopers will take vengeance on nonlooping rivals by making them into this.
24	* ''WebAnimation/GoryToons'':
25	** [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Kirby]] has a lot of ridiculous deaths and always dies in most of his appearances.
26	** [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Kenny]] has died in every episode he's appeared in. This is unsurprising, since he's the TropeNamer of TheyKilledKennyAgain.
27	** Out of all the main characters, [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants [=SpongeBob=]]] usually has the worst deaths, like getting impaled by a plunger, being shattered to pieces, and getting split in half while being crushed by his own house.
28	** [[WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends Toothy]] has suffered a lot of eye injuries and deaths on most of his appearances.
29	** [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} King Dedede]] is often this, even when he isn't the villain, often getting the most gruesome deaths of the antagonists.
30	** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Wario]] pretty much dies in all of his appearances, except for "Blind Mistake". Somewhat justified, since he's often a {{Jerkass}}.
31	** [[WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan Chef Pee Pee]], no thanks to his ButtMonkey status and the fact that he’s the second adult character to have the most appearances.
32	** [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Plankton]] usually gets crushed and dies in most of his appearances.
33	** Even [[WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends Lumpy]] is this at times due to how his stupidity can not only lead the other characters to their demise, but even himself, especially in "And It Just Fixs!".
34	* Franchise/{{Sonic\|TheHedgehog}} is usually the butt monkey in the ''Fanfic/PaperMarioX'' series. He gets tortured by water in each story and gets into a really bad situation before going on the team. [[spoiler:He even got himself married to Amy, of all people! Amy insists they're husband and wife throughout the third story (even though we know what happened), which really gets on Sonic's nerves, but he's a butt monkey, what're gonna do?]]
35	** [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]'s a candidate as well. When he's not being ridiculed for [[PungeonMaster bad puns]] or [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin his shroom-addicted ways]], it's always for something unintelligent that he's done.
36	** Knuckles as well, as even before joining Team Luigi, he's the target for Malon's otherwise rare snark.
37	** True to form, Luigi as well, usually at the hands of [[ThoseTwoGuys Blooey, Jerry and Torque]]. However, Malon and Tails aren't above screwing with him a couple of times.
38	* In ''Fanfic/ThePrayerWarriors''[[note]]A crossover between Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and the Kane Chronicles[[/note]], [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians Grover]] is one even more than in canon. He tends to die the [[BackFromTheDead most]] [[DeathIsCheap often]], and gets some of the most [[CruelAndUnusualDeath painful]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath deaths]] at that, such as getting eaten alive by insects, having his legs broken and getting [[NauseaFuel disemboweled by a spear]], or being "{{demon\|icPossession}} [[RougeAnglesOfSatin processed]]" by Stalin and then stabbed in the throat by his former ally Jerry. What qualifies him as this more than anything else is that this treatment continues even after his inexplicable HeelFaceTurn between ''The Evil Gods Part 1'' and ''Threat of Satanic Commonism''.
39	* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'':
40	** Shinji, in the omakes. In the stories proper, he sometimes suffers problems and is a NonActionGuy outside of the Evangelion, but he is useful either by fighting with or without his giant robot or by giving Asuka emotional stability and a sympathetic ear. On the omakes, he is often the victim of the whims of the author (who is not above telling Asuka that Shinji stole her underwear).
41	** Asuka also suffers from this in the omakes. Either thugs accuse her of breaking the fourth wall, or she has very embarrassing moments where she has to perform heroic deeds as wearing a ridiculously tiny outfit or Shinji clings to her leg to prevent himself from falling to the ground and takes an accidental peek at her underwear (usually suffering her wrath in the process).
42	* ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'' has [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]]. He already is a butt monkey in his home series, and the inhabitants of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria]] seem to be very aware of that. Case and point: While he's there he manages to get unintentionally {{stealth insult}}ed by ''[[ShrinkingViolet Fluttershy]]'' and [[PinkIsForSissies mocked for the absurd girliness of the Equestrian Attorney Badge]] he has to carry around by '''''Pinkie Pie'''''; and that's just the start.
43	* In [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ToucanLDM?feature=watch ToucanLDM]]'s "X Meets {{WesternAnimation/My Little Pony\|FriendshipIsMagic}}" series of videos, Lyra and Bon-Bon are usually portrayed as the butt monkeys whenever they appear. [[RageAgainstTheAuthor They do get their revenge on the author,]] [[https://youtu.be/q3zBiN4QdP4 though.]] ''WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange'' may also count as well, as Apple Bloom did the one thing no knife could ever do--''kill Orange''.
44	* ''Fanfic/KoujaNoSenshi'' also has a few of these. [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Fidget]] is one of the most notable versions and especially guilty of this.
45	* In ''Fanfic/MyLittleAnimaniacs'', Applejack becomes Skippy's personal one.
46	* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton''
47	** Tucker, due to his misleading profile and refusing to change it, ends up with incompatible girls and gets bad dates. Even when the girls decide to give him a chance, they are turned off by his lame come on lines.
48	** Dash, whenever he tries to intrude on Danny's dates, gets some form of karma.
49	** Even Danny isn't excluded from this. He was pretty much this during his blind date with Vicky and Katie. At least in the former, he manages to get some payback.
50	* ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy:''
51	** As usual for Spider-People, Izuku and Peter are the butt of most of the story's physical and verbal slapstick. Izuku in particularly remains [[TheKlutz clumsy]] despite his improved reflexes and sense of balance, repeatedly failing to stick his landings and getting tangled up in wires.
52	** Bakugou loses all of his social clout after being humiliated by Izuku twice and is left to stew in his rage alone.
53	* While Hiyori gets more respect in the main story of ''Roleplay/PersonaHeavenAfreaknamedpete'' she becomes a cosmic punchline when doing her part-time jobs. From the weirdoes she meets at the VR maid cat cafe, the embarrassing mascot costume she has to wear, along with becoming a sign holder to a nudist cult never she gets a paycheck with her dignity or sanity intact. It tends to end with her inventing some kind of SpoofAesop to justify to herself that it was worth something.
54
55	[[AC:''Manga/DeathNote'']]
56	* L in a ''Fanfic/ACharmedLife'' Light ensures that the taskforce will blame him for [[FakingTheDead Light's apparent suicide]], Matsuda also gets a passing mention, and [[CallItKarma Light himself is this quite frequently.]]
57	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/429058/chapters/723974 Cold Hearts]]'' has Matsuda, [[{{Canon}} naturally]]: L says, "In the future I'd hope you don't go spreading misinformation like that unless you want to be as helpful to this investigation as Matsuda." '''Matsuda:''' Hey!
58	* [[CreepyChild Near]] of ''Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'' is this to everyone. He gets [[DeathIsCheap killed three times within two chapters]], and then they [[KickTheDog steal his legos]] so he won't get any presents for Christmas. The author says that this is justified because of Near once using a Blind Note on Light to stop him from seeing a naked girl, and also tricking Light into killing 'Tailer swift' with the Death Note.
59	* To a given extent, [[TokenGoodTeammate Linda]] in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7292991/1/Xanatos Xanatos]]'', having been on the receiving end of a HeroicBSOD, an [[SkirtsAndLadders accidental panty shot]], [[FelonyMisdemeanor moral discontent]], and [[DrivesLikeCrazy Matt's driving]].
60
61	[[AC:Franchise/TheDCU]]
62	* ''Fanfic/OneDayAtATimeNyame'': Rose Wilson. Nothing ''ever'' goes right for Rose. Every time she tries to get into a fight she's defeated in a quick and humiliating fashion.
63	* ''Fanfic/CListers'':
64	** Kite Man is constantly mocked for being a total dumbass and invariably horribly injured in every chapter he appears in.
65	** Firefly, who's frequently subject to being {{Mind Rape}}d or nearly horribly killed.
66	** Killer Moth. Pretty much everyone looks down on him for being a moron, and all of his schemes backfire on him constantly. [[spoiler:Things get even worse for him when he turns Firefly against him]], with his own poor decisions leading to the entire Gotham underworld gunning for him and [[spoiler:getting him transformed into a cannibalistic monster]].
67
68	[[AC:''Literature/{{Discworld}}'']]
69	* In the fics of Creator/AAPessimal, Assassin Jocasta Wiggs (seen in canon treading almost-water in Sam Vimes' dunnikin) is invariably dropped into, doused with, or smothered in, shit. Her nickname and operating codename in Assassin circles is "Mucky Pup".
70
71	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'']]
72	* In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6984913/1/Disgaea_Jewel_of_the_gods Disgaea Jewel of the gods]]'' Epic is this. But it's not anything special seeing as his whole species, the prinny, are as well.
73	** Laharl and Mao get some moments as well.
74	* Many characters have their moments in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6138952 The Ultimate Disgaea Truth or Dare]]'', but Laharl and Mao get this the worst.
75
76	[[AC:''Franchise/DragonBall'']]
77	* In ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', Raditz is pretty much this to Vegeta and Nappa. So much so, that they use "a Raditz" as their measuring unit. They can even grow monsters that are exactly the same strength, rendering him completely useless. Needless to say, he's not very happy about it at all.
78	** As of season two, in a commercial for "[[BurgerFool Spacey's]]," Raditz is now an equivalent of [=McDonalds's=] "Dollar Menu."
79	** On the good guy side, there's Krillin, whose treatment as a butt monkey is tallied on "The Krillin Owned Count."
80	** There's also Yamcha, who manages to disappoint people that have never met him and is ignored by those who have. He's an even bigger ButtMonkey than Krillin, as in the FAQ, it's stated that the reason why they make fun of Krillin so much is because Yamcha isn't around enough. To bring the point home, Cell doesn't have any cells from Yamcha, despite having some from Krillin.
81	** Pretty much every group has a guy that is looked down upon by the others. With the Saiyans, it was Raditz. With the Z-Fighters it was Yamcha (and Krillin when Yamcha was unavailable). With Freeza's lower-tier troops, it was Appule. With Freeza's personal posse, it was Dodoria. With the Ginyu Force, it was Guldo. With the Androids, it was Android 19.
82
83	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'']]
84	* In ''Fanfic/NeverHadAFriendLikeMe'', the ''entire'' country of Canada serves as one of these. [[JackassGenie Norm]] really doesn't like them. At all.
85
86	[[AC:''Literature/FateZero'']]
87	* In ''Fanfic/TheSagesDisciple'', Kayneth has proven to be the story's biggest one. All of Crow's plans have somehow curved back around to involve him in some way.
88	** First [[spoiler: Rider and Crow hijacks his debut at the docks for their own respective introduction]].
89	** Second [[spoiler: Team Caster warn him about Kiritsugu's attack on the Hyatt Hotel to lure Lancer away from him. Then they break into his rooms from the roof, knock him and his fiance unconscious, then make off with a suitcase of Mystic Codes, his wallet, and Volumen Hydrargyrum]].
90	** Third [[spoiler: Upon realizing they needed a Spiritual Surgeon, Team Caster use Berserker as a distraction while they sneak around, knock Kayneth unconscious yet again, and run off with Sola-Ui]].
91
92	[[AC:''Franchise/FireEmblem'']]
93	* In ''Fanfic/FireEmblemThreeHousesFifthPath'' Hilda gradually starts finding herself in dangerous situations because of the actions of others.
94
95	[[AC:''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'']]
96	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5342030/1/Supplemental-Rules-and-Regulations Supplemental Rules and Regulations]]'', Envy gets beaten with a cast-iron skillet, run over by a tank, blasted with mustard gas, and burned with a flamethrower. One would think they'd have the sense to start steering clear of [[TheSquadette Maria Ross]].
97
98	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'']]
99	* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonTitansAndOtherCreatures Rodan]] tends to be on the receiving end of various indignities which make him stand out among the Titans: getting silenced by Godzilla via an offhand {{tail slap}} when he jeers at Viv and San, getting his head trapped in the Many's jaws and flailing to escape until he causes the trap to explode with his bio-volcanic heat, and [[spoiler:being in the middle of helping the other Titans beat down Keizer Ghidorah when]] [[AdaptationalHeroism Monster X]] just ''forces his beak shut'' and pins him with a glare [[spoiler:for bringing the baby Manda to the FinalBattle]]. [[spoiler:And then of course there's the time in ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'' when Rodan performs a full-blown courtship display in front of Monster X, only to discover midway through that Monster X [[MistakenForFlirting had no idea that they'd been sending him signals which led him to believe they desired him]], even if this still worked out in the end]].
100
101	[[AC:''Franchise/HarryPotter'']]
102	* Done for comedy in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical''. Ron and Dumbledore repeatedly harp on Hermione for being a know-it-all, buzz kill, and "[[HollywoodHomely ugly]]." She's the only student in the cast who ever loses points for her house (except Harry, once), often for things that other characters are doing, flagrantly, at the same time as her. Harry is the only one relatively nice to her... because he needs her to do his homework, research for the first task, and everything else he's too lazy to do. This lightens up in the second act, though there's still a few jokes made at her expense.
103	* Britney in ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' is generally picked on and abused by everyone. She, of course, deserves this because [[FanHater she has different tastes in music than the main characters]] and is [[FelonyMisdemeanor therefore evil]].
104
105	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Halo}}'']]
106	* Carlos in ''Webcomic/Company0051'', a ''Halo'' {{Fan Webcomic\|s}}. From being chewed out by the Sarge to being the first one to drop out in the boys' DrinkingGame, it's clear that his only place is as the local wimp.
107	* Fanfic/IfThereAreWolvesAmongTheStars: Relk 'Forsevai. When a character starts his journey in prison you would think he'd started at rock bottom. Relk still had a way to go.
108
109	[[AC:''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'']]
110	* Vanate in ''Fanfic/{{Hivefled}}''. He died via prolapse of most of his intestines; his ghost is dragging them around behind him and [[RunningGag still doesn't have pants]].
111
112	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'']]
113	* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'': Skoodge gets beat up repeatedly throughout the story, far more than any other character.
114	* ''Fanfic/RubyPair'': During his appearance in "Beefus Megabombus", Skoodge is repeatedly used as a battering ram by Zim, and then gets used as a battery by Tak's Ship for its weapons, which fries him to a crisp.
115
116	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'']]
117	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2405292/1/You-Kissed-a-Synthodrone You Kissed a Synthodrone]]'' puts Ron through another example of this when he learns that everything he experienced with Kim after they were captured by Drakken in Bueno Nacho ("[[WesternAnimation/KimPossibleMovieSoTheDrama So the Drama]]") was actually with a synthodrone copy of her that was experiencing a programming malfunction. Ron in particular is left uncertain how to feel or if his friendship with Kim will survive him admitting his feelings for the synthodrone when she doesn't feel that way in turn, [[spoiler:but ultimately Kim decides to give a relationship with Ron a shot herself]].
118
119	[[AC:''Franchise/TheLionKing'']]
120	* Zazu in ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures''. Misery, woe and pain are thrown at him often.
121	** Haiba in the earlier stories, too.
122
123	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'']]
124	* ''Fanfic/TheBoyWhoCriedIdiot'': Lincoln is an even bigger butt-monkey than in canon-- he gets wrongly accused and punished for things Martin did, gets his textbook bitten by a raccoon, gets attacked by said raccoon, etc.
125
126	[[AC:Franchise/MarvelUniverse]]
127	* Mary Jane Watson, the title character of ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]''. She grows up in a broken home, has constant money problems, has trouble keeping her grades up because of her TripleShifter tendencies, her parents' boyfriends tend to hate her, becomes the target of a public hate campaign-with threats of sexual violence-against her alter ego, has had more than one villain become a superpowered StalkerWithACrush, often misses out on good acting and modelling work because of other commitments, has been fired or nearly fired from multiple jobs due to showing up late, is drenched several times by {{Roadside Wave}}s, and is plagued with constant feelings of guilt and frustration stemming from it all.
128
129	[[AC:''Franchise/MassEffect'']]
130	* ''Fanfic/IngloriousBoshtets'', a ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fanfic, has Tali, the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] of her crew of idiots and {{Jerkass}}es, getting this a lot, and whenever something crazy happens, at least one of the crew (often Prazza, who's usually the cause of the crazy) will pin the blame on her.
131
132	[[AC:''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'']]
133	* Steve? has, thus far in ''WebAnimation/DigBuildLive'', died four times on the first few nights (to the same Skeleton, no less), been assigned humiliating and degrading tasks by the Testificates (he at one point had to chase a chicken in a chicken suit, which he couldn't get in time, forcing him to hide in the well at night), and then he loses his home because someone bought the land his house was at.
134
135	[[AC:''Franchise/MyLittlePony'']]
136	* Princess Luna in ''[[Fanfic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]]'', who manages to [[RunningGag get forgotten by nearly all the characters, including the narrator herself,]] and even by King Sombra while she was currently fighting him. King Sombra manages to make a very large speech cursing Celestia, before hastily adding a "and Luna too, I suppose", at the end. Is it any wonder why she turned evil later on?
137	** Donut/[[spoiler: Pony]] Joe, who, if the LemonyNarrator's theories are to be taken as fact, gets [[spoiler: sealed into the moon to close the loop after unwittingly helping Celestia [[ItsALongStory bake the dark essence of the Elements of Harmony into donuts]], to be replaced by a doppelganger clone named Pony Joe.]] And apparently nopony notices the switch. And then, even [[spoiler: the doppelganger]] manages to get screwed over, after Celestia [[spoiler: seals him and the other bakers into the moon after unwittingly helping her evil plans yet again]]. The LemonyNarrator even comments that the [[PlayedForLaughs Joe name just can't seem to catch a break]].
138	* Spike, from ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'', is very much a butt-monkey. So much so, in fact, that every character has him listed as a dislike in Dragone Baby Gone, and in Read it and Sleep, Spike falls off the roof and breaks both his legs. After disregarding him, Applejack inadvertently drops a log on him, with other instances of disregard or hatred for him throughout the show.
139	* ''[[Fanfic/LivingTheDreamKickass222urmom Living The Dream]]''
140	** Lance Greenfield can be considered this. Throughout the story he has had to face several beatings, multiple deaths, rape attempts, and was even [[GroinAttack made sterile]] from a {{Series/Jackass}} parody.
141	** Zorrow is the personification of this trope. He suffers constant beatings, gets [[CripplingCastration castrated]], and was raped for a period of two days. The worst part is that his [[WithFriendsLikeThese friends]] are the ones are usually causing his misery. It's not like he is totally [[AssholeVictim underserving]] of this though.
142	* ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic'':
143	** Krysta. An entire chapter is dedicated to her getting constantly wet in the fight with a water monster.
144	** Another example is Ace Ray.
145	* TD of ''Fanfic/TheNonBronyverse'' often ends up in all manner of unfortunate situations. Sometimes they're his fault, but more often than not it's because the universe seems to hate him.
146	* Blog/ReadingRainbowverse has Bonbon, who tends to be put in strange and unusual situations whenever she appears.
147	* Meta example: In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfics, Rainbow Dash is as prone to TheWorfEffect as in the show (which is lampshaded in the ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' crossover ''Bridled Fury''). She's also frequently the DesignatedVictim in {{Dark Fic}}s such as ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'', or otherwise prone to being injured, crippled, or even killed off for the sake of drama.
148	* ''Fanfic/HerInnerDemons'': ''Viciously'' deconstructed with Sci-Twi. As she spells out to her former classmates, the torments and mistreatment she went through during the Friendship Games (and even well before the Friendship Games) were what made her vengeful enough to become [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Midnight Sparkle]].
149	* ''Fanfic/ThePowerOfTheEquinox'': The whole point of a minor character named Dusty Joy, a maid working at Canterlot's castle. She has to work overtime (as a Thestral, she isn't normally awake at daytime) to clean the castle's longest hallway all by herself[[note]]with her two planned helpers having called in their vacation time in advance[[/note]] during the royal wedding, gets reprimanded when she kicks in the face a stallion who smacks her flank, almost loses her job when her superior assumes she abandoned her post out of laziness, tries in vain to clean the stains [[WalkingWasteland Dimmed Star's Ink]] left in the hallway, and once she's relieved of that impossible duty, she has to do even more cleaning in the wedding hall that's a total mess from the rampage of [[DemonicPossession the Entity-possessed Dimmed Star]].
150
151	[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
152	* ''Fanfic/{{Juxtapose}}'': Funnily enough, [[TheParagon Toshinori]] is this, as most of the scenes involving him also involves poking fun at his awkwardness one way of another.
153	** There seems to be RunningGag with Toshinori and first impressions. A particularly amusing one is his first meeting with Inko, with him accidentally smacking her in the face as he was about to leave.
154
155	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'']]
156	* ''Fanfic/IAmNotGoingThroughPubertyAgain'': Neji. As noted by the author at the end of Chapter 15. First, he is frequently scared out of his wits by the very much amused Hinata. Then, he has a hostile Tenten on his hands after a misunderstanding in which she believed that his warnings and well-wishes before her prelim match with Hinata were him boasting about the superiority of the Hyuuga Clan and its Jyuuken, only made worse after Hinata won their match. ''Then'', he loses ''his'' prelim match against his eternal rival/teammate Rock Lee in a ''very'' humiliating CurbStompBattle because he can't keep up with Lee's superior speed or strength.
157	* ''Fanfic/TheSomewhatCrackedMindOfUchihaItachi'':
158	** [[spoiler:Orochimaru]] after he is forcibly returned to Konoha. He is a frequent target of ire for every shinobi jonin rank and above, ''especially'' Tsunade.
159	** The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, is the recipient of much less comical but no less deserved abuse. People frequently call him out on his decision to invade Konoha alongside Oto, he's ousted from power and demoted to jonin and councilor, and all three of his kids hate him and make absolutely no secret of this fact both before and after the Invasion.
160
161	[[AC:''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
162	* In ''New Champion Evangelion'', a fic written by someone who doesn't like ''Evangelion'' in general and Shinji in particular, Shinji gets this treatment. He is often insulted and physically abused by the AuthorAvatar Ekaj, and in one scene, Misato, while trying to get him to come back to NERV at the train station like in the anime, openly tells him she hates him and only needs him as a pilot.
163	* ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheMinisukas'': The "Prankster" Minisuka gets constantly put in bad situations, including being caught in an errant gust of wind while trying to theatrically get away from Rei on a hang glider (it did however made her smack with the Fifth Angel and she hurt it with her Lance, [[IMeantToDoThat which is what she was planning and nobody can say otherwise]]), kidnapped by animals who think she's a toy/food and forced to leg it back to Tokyo-3 (already a pain because of her tiny stature, not to mention the really weird things she encounters along the way).
164	* ''Roleplay/ScaryNewsOutOfTokyo3'':
165	** Since his arrival in Tokyo-3, Fireballed Mage has lost every single job he applies for due to an Angel attack wiping out his workplace. The other characters like to joke that the Angels are attacking ''him''.
166	** Meanwhile, Draco Light winds up getting locked in the bathroom during Angel attacks several times in a row. He stops being annoyed about it when it saves his life on one occasion. [[spoiler:He eventually dies in the same bathroom, bleeding to death after having been shot.]]
167
168	[[AC:''Series/OddSquad'']]
169	* ''Fanfic/OSMUFanfictionFriction'': Oswald gets the brunt of the story's grief, which is hand-given to him by the author of the fanfic himself. And he's well-aware of it, too.
170	-->'''Oswald:''' You know that guy. He always goes after ''me.'' Terrifying moments, public humiliation, it's always me. The guy has it in for me.
171
172	[[AC:''Franchise/OnePiece'']]
173	* In ''Fanfic/ThisBites'', Ironically, [[MadeOfPlasticine Cross]] is this to the Straw Hats, especially after his antics which oft lead him being the target of either Nami or Vivi's [[MegatonPunch ire]]. However, ever since taking Dr. Kureha's [[SuperEmpowering vitamins]], Cross has upgraded to IronButtMonkey, where he has withstood many an attack that should've killed him. Cross even lampshades it:
174	---> '''Cross:''' Did it say bad things about the past few weeks that an impact that should have, by all rights, split my head like an egg only hurt a little more than a common bump? Yes, by ''god'' yes.
175	** Kizaru also gets hit with this. While still dangerous, he gets serious injured ''a lot'' during the story. By the Denouncement, he's been forced to take remedial training due to the higher ups getting sick of how he keeps getting seriously injured.
176	* ''Fanfic/AceLives'':
177	** Hilariously, Ace himself, especially in the one-shots that veer towards crack. He's usually saved, but at the expense of himself (or, more specifically, his dignity).
178	** Akainu. He's probably the only character that's a bigger ButtMonkey than Ace. There's not a single one-shot where he doesn't suffer horribly, whether it's being scarred, crippled, or outright dying.
179	** Doflamingo also frequently suffers. At one point, [[AssShove he even gets his sunglasses shoved up his ass]].
180	** Blackbeard, who is as a big a ButtMonkey as ''Akainu''. Usually whatever thing that allows Ace to live also screws over Blackbeard in turn.
181
182	[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
183	* Oshawott is hit hard by this in ''Fanfic/BellesFartingProblem'', becoming the victim of a RunningGag where he's crushed by a tree after Belle/Bianca farts, and once getting [[AssShove shoved up Bianca's ass]], an incident which completely damaged his sense of smell beyond repair.
184	* Pikachu is this in ''Roleplay/CrossRegion''. He never stays concious after one hit and once knocked himself out by jumping after a submerged target and electrocuting himself. This was [[EpicFail after said target had already lost.]]
185	* Mike the Ditto in ''Fanfic/{{Pokeumans}}''. As if Starr hitting him repeatedly for being annoying/inappropriate wasn't enough, later on he starts getting everything up to and including being frozen. Then again, [[ThePrankster sometimes]] [[LeeroyJenkins he asks for it]].
186	** Across the whole writing group for 'Fanfic/{{Pokeumans}}'', the MSN Gang. Every single {{continuation}} Pokeumans story set in the Long Island base will involve the MSN Gang getting beaten up at some point.
187	* The Send Your {{Original Character}}s fanfic ''[[Fanfic/PokemonTakeTwo Pokémon: Take Two]]'' has several. Raion, the main character, who goes through BreakTheHaughty and HumiliationConga, Samuel, a SmugSnake and Team Rocket grunt who can't really do much but follow Sara and Inkay's lead, and, probably the biggest butt-monkey of them all, ''the authoress''.
188	* ''Fanfic/AshesOfThePast'': The Oaks. Professor Oak is often the victim of the antics of Ash's Pokémon, who are every bit as insane as he is (if not more so), while if something bad is happening, chances are that it's happening to Gary.
189	* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': The Samurai. He loses almost every onscreen battle he has (in no small part due to his tendency to [[BullyingADragon pick fights with opponents too strong for him]]), he dismisses a Wonder Traded Snivy as useless for not being a Bug-type (not knowing that she had Leaf Storm and Contrary) which causes her to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere abandon him to find a better trainer]] and [[TheDogBitesBack leaving him a cut on his arm as a souvenir]], and making a bunch of Abomasnow angry for scaring a hapless Snover.
190	* ''Fanfic/KhaosOmega'' loves doing this to Ursula, Harley, Conway, and several others, Ursula in particular due to being the only affected girl. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because of either track records (Giovanni, Cyrus, and Ghetsis), strong {{Jerkass}} personality traits (Paul and Damian), Conway's stalker tendencies, or just being there for being the butt monkey. If a sex-heavy story by Khaos involves Ursula it's almost guaranteed at least one scene will be Ursula being raped. Some variants of Ursula end up as such simply because of how many villainous versions have been defeated and captured. One was part of a wrestling-based story where a move by the first major BigBad, Tracy Dennis, proved the victim as truly innocent like she was intending, and another willingly entered prostitution with a rape preference to make up for the track record.
191
192	[[AC:''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'']]
193	* ''Fanfic/RubyAndNora'': Jaune, as usual. However, after the death of his boyfriend, it [[CerebusSyndrome stops being funny]].
194	* ''Fanfic/WhiteSheepRWBY'':
195	** Sun Wukong gets DemotedToExtra since his role in the story is mostly filled by Nora, and it just gets worse from there. He is mistaken for a thief, a stalker, and a homeless person, Blake constantly forgets his name, and he gets knocked out with Blake's smut ''twice''. Nora eventually takes pity on him and teaches him to be actually helpful in a way that Blake will appreciate, instead of fake helpful like a creepy stalker (Nora was mostly trying to get Blake away from Ren). In the latter half of the story, he becomes a more important character, being sent with Blake to Menagerie (instead of just following her) and helping with the last of the White Fang plotlines. In the DistantFinale, [[spoiler:Blake, Sun, and Ilia are all living together, and while no one has any details everyone assumes it's some sort of complicated sexual relationship]].
196	** Emerald Sustrai, likewise, has a rather smaller role in the fic. She keeps failing to produce any results for Cinder while Mercury gets praise for gaining information while hanging out with a cute girl, and her biggest contribution for a long time is getting splattered in paint by accidentally triggering a trap meant for Jaune. However, like Sun, her life improves in the second half. After she gets [[AccidentalKidnapping accidentally kidnapped]], she starts working for Weiss, who puts her skills to good use, appreciates her input, and pays her a fair salary--all things Cinder rarely bothered with. While her role remains small throughout, she is clearly happier, and in the DistantFinale [[spoiler:she is still working for Weiss in some capacity]].
197	* ''Fanfic/ARabbitAmongWolves'': Perry. There is a running gag of him getting punched by the group's females and his generally not given much respect.
198
199	[[AC:''Manga/{{Saki}}'']]
200	* Kana in "[[http://www.mangapark.com/manga/saki-captain-half-doujinshi/v1/c0/all Captain Half]]", who gets verbally and physically abused by Mihoko's alter-ego. In the omakes, she ends up falling into the river twice in an HonestAxe scenario. The first time, Mihoko, forced to choose between a very lucky Kana and a Kana who's a master of the digital playstyle, says Kana is neither, since she often gets careless and loses lots of points. The second time, Nodocchi, playing the role of the sprite, asks if Mihoko dropped Hisa, and Mihoko says yes without hesitation.
201	* Rinkai in "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8668488/1/The-Saint-Is-Coming The Saint is Coming]]" is a far cry from where it stands in the semifinals in canon. In the finals, its team starts the captain match at 23,000 points, and is noted to have no chance of winning. As the tournament ends, Rinkai has 10,000 points (only two schools that went under 0 did worse against the protagonists in canon), and its coach is ''[[YouHaveFailedMe fired on the spot]]''.
202
203	[[AC:''Literature/TheSilmarillion'']]
204	* Morgoth in ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1518794/1/The_Game_of_the_Gods Game of the Gods]]'', courtesy of the {{Ineffectual Sympathetic\|Villain}} VillainProtagonist treatment and healthy doses of CharacterExaggeration and the RuleOfFunny all round. He's [[BigBad the source of all the evil in the universe]], and he's having people steal his diary and do dramatic readings.
205
206	[[AC:''Franchise/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
207	* In ''Fanfic/GhostsAndDreams'', Catelyn Tully has things rough: her Sept is constantly vandalized, leading to rumors that it might be cursed (in a way it is, since the ghosts of past Starks hate having a Sept in their ancestral home and will keep attacking it until is torn down); the servants and ghosts all hate her, Rhaenys had set Balerion on her more than once, and then her husband's new direwolf takes their old bedroom as its den, forcing them to sleep apart for a time. In the more recent chapters she is slowly losing Ned's respect and maybe even his affection. WordOfGod admits to hating Catelyn, so this shouldn't be all that surprising.
208	* In ModernAUFic ''Fanfic/AViciousVengefulSea'', Tristifer Botley (who was already a slightly pathetic DoggedNiceGuy in canon) is introduced as "horny and socially inept", and his entire portrayal is of a guy who's fundamentally decent, but kind of an idiot and the butt of every joke.
209
210	[[AC:''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'']]
211	* Alex is this in ''Fanfic/ThePortal''. He gets pulled into the Dragon Realms and turned into a dragon. Shortly after his transformation, his best friend knocks him unconscious, he gets threatened with death by Storm, then his iPod almost gets destroyed by a young Earth dragon. The poor guy just can't catch a break.
212
213	[[AC:''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'']]
214	* Chekov is this in ''Fanfic/TheOfficialListOfUnofficialRules''. Quite a few rules regard his behavior, particularly his [[GloriousMotherRussia patriotism]].
215	** Riley is this a bit too, [[Recap/StarTrekS1E4TheNakedTime regarding one incident]] [[NeverLiveItDown in particular]]...
216
217	[[AC:''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'']]
218	* ''Franchise/DonkeyKong'' is constantly dying on ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/ILVGwebmaster The Toad Show]]''. Almost-literal Butt Monkey!
219	* This trope is pretty much the entire jokeline of this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml0gNUnDWgc Toad Strikes Back parody]]. {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d with 'Why are you so mean to me?' 'Because... You're TOAD!'
220
221	[[AC:''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'']]
222	* In ''Fanfic/TenRandomCharacters'', Red tends to fall into this trope. Just to name a few examples, he is shipped with Pit, not invited to Ike and Roy's hypothetical wedding, (nearly) attacked by Mewtwo, knocked unconscious by Peach, made the judge of Palutena and Kirby's cooking contest, bitten by Jigglypuff, made fun of by Mewtwo, threatened by Dark Pit, and made the subject of a fanfiction of Peach's. And that's only within the span of twenty four hours.
223
224	[[AC:''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'']]
225	* In ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', [[spoiler:Ryouko has been turned into this due to being transformed into [[SuperDeformed "Achakura"]].]]
226	* Emiri is such a ButtMonkey in ''Fanfic/YouGotHaruhiRolled'' that a whole arc is about her becoming emo once she realizes this.
227
228	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'']]
229	* In ''Fanfic/CourtneyAndTheViolinOfDespair'', Courtney becomes the Violin spirit's butt monkey under the influence of the {{Curse}}.
230	* ''Fanfic/TotalDramaAllStarsRewrite'':
231	** Chris gets abused a lot in the four parter, to the delight of all the contestants.
232	** Owen and Scott receive the most physical comedy of all the contestants over the season.
233	** Cody gets a bit of this on the Aftermath specials at the hands of Jo, Sierra, and Gwen.
234
235	[[AC:''Manga/WeddingPeach'']]
236	* In ''WebVideo/WeddingPeachAbridged'', it seems that Limone is punished for his competence.
237
238	[[AC:''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'']]
239	* In ''Fanfic/TheSuperStarrChronicles'', Pietro Maximoff is often the recipient of bad luck and ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-style pratfalls.
240
241	[[AC:''Franchise/YuGiOh'']]
242	* Practically everybody in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. Though Bakura, Mokuba, Solomon Muto, Tristan, Joey, and sometimes Tea usually tend to get the worst of it.
243	** Serenity was a butt monkey until she became a main character in the second half of season 2.
244	** Kaiba has sort've become this in season 3.
245	** Yugi was also the butt monkey in season 0.
246	** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries Jaden Yuki]] also gets a lot of it, especially from Yami and [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Yusei]]. Heck, ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' in general is practically hated by everybody in-universe, [[UnpopularPopularCharacter but fans out-universe seem to have completely opposite feelings about abridged Jaden]].
