9	* ''WebAnimation/TheAnnoyingOrange'':
10	** [[NoRespectGuy Pear]] is always looked down upon by the other foods for being "boring" and is frequently pranked by Orange. This is taken further in the ''Ask Orange'' segments.
11	** [[SmallNameBigEgo Grapefruit]] is always mocked for his "weight" and blown up, among other things. This is most prominent in the "Challenge" videos.
12	* ''WebAnimation/AstroLOLogy'': Every character suffers their share of abuse, but Capricorn easily has it the worst, with Aries and Virgo not too far behind. For Capricorn, it's usually the result of his overt sense of commitment putting him in bad situations or the universe simply being against him for that episode, for Aries, it's usually retribution for his competitive nature, and for Virgo, it's usually a product of her perfectionism or being around Sagittarius.
13	* Many characters from ''WebAnimation/TheBigLezShow'' qualify, but most noticeably Clarence, Quintin, and Norton. Norton is justified in that literally everyone in the series hates him.
14
15	* ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'': Given the show's [[BlackComedy nature]], some people count
16	** Counselors David and Gwen are constantly tormented by the kids, especially Max. The former is insulted by the kids as a happy-go-lucky moron and gets mauled and insulted on a regular basis. The latter has a useless liberal arts degree, hates her job unlike David, and can't find a career outside of the camp.
17	** [[JewishAndNerdy Neil]]. Aside from being a cowardly wimp, he's ridiculed for being a nerd and having a feminine side.
18	** Space Kid. In his first appearance, he's strapped to a spinning ceiling fan and used as a HumanShield by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Cameron Campbell]]. In later appearances, he's used as a decoy and UnwittingPawn thanks to his cheerful innocence.
19	* The title character in the ''WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn'' videos. The blue and pink unicorns apparently come up with extremely convoluted and surreal plans just to make Charlie miserable. This is probably why Charlie is a DeadpanSnarker.
20	* Several characters from ''WebAnimation/CombatDevolved'' qualify, but Rookie and Scout are most obvious, (Rookie verbally and Scout physically)
21	* ''WebAnimation/ADayWithBowserJr'': The protagonist Bowser Jr fits this trope like a glove -- there isn't one single episode in which he doesn't get beat up at some point.
22	* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Frog! Even nice characters like Amber and Autumn treat him like dirt.
23	* ''WebAnimation/GrimReaperFlagChan'': Mobuo always gets subjected to all kinds of unpleasant situations. The Flag-chan girls can either cause it or share it depending on the episode.
24	* Everybody in ''WesternAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'', given the [[SadistShow shows]] [[AnyoneCanDie style]], but a few in particular pop out:
25	** Sniffles easily has among the most gruesome demises featured on the show, usually when against the Ants or when his own inventions backfire on him. "Tounge in Cheek" is a perfect example.
26	** Like Sniffles, Petunia suffers some of the nastier deaths. She has also been shown to have OCD, leading to her [[DrivenToSuicide KILLING HERSELF]] on one infamous occasion.
27	** Cub, a young baby, keeps getting killed by Pop thanks to his sheer obliviousness and negligence.
28	** Handy is a repair man, yet doesn’t have any hands, which often ends up killing him. This also leaves him defenseless in catastrophic situations, and puts him as one of the characters with the lowest survival rate.
29	** Lifty and Shifty have died on every episode they appeared in, except for three TV series episodes. This is justified, since the duo are show's biggest jerkasses aside from Fliqpy and sometimes Lumpy.
30	* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Moxxie is constantly on the receiving end of AmusingInjuries, Blitzo's [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E0Pilot verbal put-downs]], [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E3SpringBroken sexual harassment]], [[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E3ExesAndOohs various]] [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E1MurderFamily moral dilemmas]], [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E0Pilot Loona's bullying]] and the occasional [[ItMakesSenseInContext Hell-shark People's Elbow]]. Despite all this, he is easily still the most altruistic character in the series, [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E7Ozzies defending his values even when getting mocked by]] {{Asmodeus}} [[Recap/HelluvaBossS1E7Ozzies himself.]]
31	* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'':
32	** Strong Sad, whose two brothers Strong Mad and Strong Bad enjoy heaping physical and psychological abuse on him.
33	** Homestar Runner himself can also qualify, considering how many times Strong Bad has insulted, assaulted and tricked Homestar for the sake of his own enjoyment. That and Marzipan keeps breaking up with him. Bubs also squeezes Homestar for all the money he can get, but Bubs does that to [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts EVERYBODY.]]
34	** Nebulon, Rumble Red, the King of Town, Cartoon Mary Palaroncini, Coach Z, and 1-Up are also frequently abused. There's only one person who ''does'' like Nebulon's style... and she's an enormous alien cow. However, it's justified in Red, Mary's and 1-Up's cases, in that they're parodies of annoying cartoon sidekicks.
35	%%** Almost everyone in Strong Bad's comic book ''Teen Girl Squad''.
36	* John T. Hedgehog from WebAnimation/InternationalMoronPatrol. Issues with John's creator resulted in the series' creator, Roger, [[TakeThat reducing John to basically a dumber version of]] [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Kenny]] (though the series explains that John has a guardian angel who revives him at some point after every death. In recent episodes, however, John's abuse has been reduced significantly.
37	* ''WebAnimation/LevelUP'' typically has Toad, Goomba, or Waluigi suffer some form of comic mistreatment.
38	* ''WebAnimation/LongGoneGulch'': The Mayor goes through a lot of pain, from losing his hair and an antler, to being used as a piñata by Mako's gang.
39	* Matt Carnegie from ''WebAnimation/MattNDusty''. Even if something goes right for him, it doesn't last for long.
40	** So far, he's been threatened to have his esophagus ripped out, almost killed by an axe murderer, and barely survived the apocalypse, with the only other survivor being Dusty.
41	* Baysa in WebAnimation/MinecraftForNoobs, his 1st appearance has him literally spawn inside the ground, and is often subject to physical abuse from the game, and occasional mockery from the narrator. Peter is also sometimes treated like this past episode 9.
42	* In ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'', The Armless Guy goes through a lot of abuse, often due to him having no arms.
43	* ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'': "FUCKING RACHEL TICE!" And her friend, Judith.
44	** Compared to Trisha C., Trisha 2 is more prone to being on the wrong end of slapstick comedy moments, and [[BrainBleach once got an uncomfortable eyeful]] of [[spoiler: a baby's head coming out of Saison.]]
45	* [[Music/KatyPerry Kety Perr]] on ''WebAnimation/TheNekciMenijShow''. All she wants is for people to see her new film, Pert of Me. [[FelonyMisdemeanor Everyone would rather be insulted in song by Beyonce's reunited Destiny's Child than see Pert of Me.]]
46	* Germaine in the ''WebAnimation/NeuroticallyYours'' cartoon series. She's a magnet to stalkers and perverted men, has trouble controlling her weight, is the butt of Foamy's criticisms and {{Jerkass}} rage, and can't get any of her poetry published. She recently shaved her hair and gained more weight as a desperate attempt to get men to stop hitting on her. It doesn't.
47	* ''WebAnimation/PanathinaikosBear'': Pana and Meep frequently abuse Kurdt Kestrel (usually by kicking him) any time he challenges them.
48	* ''WebAnimation/ThePinkCity'': Elain has not only failed to catch every bounty she has gone after, but has been grievously injured, traumatized and humiliated in the process.
49	* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue''. Pretty much all the characters get their turn, but Grif probably qualifies the most, getting yelled at, insulted, threatened, beat up and even shot on occasion, all because he didn't want to risk his life in a war. Oh and because he's [[DeadpanSnarker snarky.]] And that's not even getting into [[CurbStompBattle his (and the rest of the Reds plus Tucker)'s "fight" with Tex]]. [[GroinAttack If he's not sterile after that, it's a miracle.]]
50	** Washington sort of strays into the territory when you consider his speech at the end of ''Recreation'', [[spoiler: leading to a possible case of TheDogBitesBack:]]
51	-->[[spoiler:'''Chairman:''' Agent Washington, when you find these blue soldiers that you're talking about, what makes you think that they are just going to give you the Epsilon unit when you ask for it?]]
52	-->[[spoiler:'''Washington:''' Heh heh. For as long as I can remember, I've been lied to, taken advantage of, shot in the back and left for dead. And now, I have a way out of all of this. What in the ''hell'' makes you think that I'm going to ''ask'' for it?]]
53	** ''The Project Freelancer Saga'' flashbacks expand on this. Past!Wash was the naive rookie of his Freelancer team. He's constantly [[CarFu attacked by cars]], teased by his compatriots, and was [[NeverLiveItDown best known]] for the time Carolina had to attach a grappling hook [[GroinAttack to his codpiece]] to save him from a jetpack accident. [[spoiler: And then he has Epsilon implanted, which causes a mental breakdown.]]
54	** Church is kinda the universe's Butt Monkey. He's been [[spoiler:tortured so his mind fragments into pieces, killed more than once, had his girlfriend die more than once, trapped -- forever, as far as he knows -- in a virtual world, and just generally always been smacked down again every time he thinks life is starting to look up]].
55	* Jaune Arc from ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' counts as a {{deconstruction}} of the so-called "lovable idiot". Initially, his battle incompetence is PlayedForLaughs, but during Episode 12, it is revealed that his lack of combat savvy gets him bullied by Cardin, and it shows as he has absolutely no self esteem. He even revealed to Pyrrha that [[spoiler: he'd actually stolen some transcripts to get into Beacon Academy and has had no experience fighting whatsoever]]. He'd been blackmailed into doing Cardin's essay along with his own in a very cramped schedule and is forced to stay up very late.
56	* ''WebAnimation/ShadowsOfThePast'' has a few but the most notable ones are Sage and Delta.
57	** Sage is the king of the butt monkeys. He has been shot in the same knee cap. twice. He has been shot with a tank twice once that was driven by his very drunk "friend". And then she proceeded to bury him alive. He was also shot again by his "friend" Zero when Venus gave the FIRE! command. Before he was shot by yet another tank she'll he was shot by an unknown sniper in the knee cap...again. He has also been transported to another dimension where he was knocked out and dragged to a torture basement.
58	** With Sage being the king. Delta would be the prince. [=DeWitt=] was abandoned by his parents on a planet dubbed "Delta" where he was raised by a colony of tentacle monsters, at age eight he married his wife "Keeglor" and by age nineteen he ate his wife. At age twenty he was rescued. During season one he became a drug addict living under a bridge eating rats and snorting cocaine. His drugs are stolen from him and an Intersexual southern red neck promises she can recreate the sex he had with his old wife. In return he has to go to Tank and say the following.
59	--> "Delta:" Hey baby, you gonna keep all that hot spice to yourself or are you gonna give daddy a piece of that hot jalapeño ass.
60	** This did not end well. He wakes up from a coma after Tank skinned him alive and burned his body. Scoots and Dinky bring him back from the brink and force him to be their slave after a life debt. He becomes a sex slave to Scoots and a guinea pig to Dinky.
61	* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' has a few. Spike is viewed by nearly everyone as a source of unpaid labor and physical humor. (It's {{lampshaded}} at one point with his line, "I swear, it's like everyone hates me or something!") Fluttershy is a former slave who continues to get exploited because [[ExtremeDoormat she lacks a backbone]]. Rainbow Dash has never friends or family for any length of time -- partly because of her obnoxious personality, and partly [[FantasticRacism because she's blue]]. Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash ''know'' how unpopular they are: at separate points they each try to coerce Twilight by ''threatening to hang out with her''. When Princess Luna isn't getting banished to the moon for no reason, she's forced to live in the castle basement where no one visits her, and her sister sends her letter bombs. Twilight starts off somewhat well-liked in Ponyville, then loses respect as the series goes on, until [[OnePersonBirthdayParty no one's willing to come to her birthday party]]. When Luna comes to Ponyville, Twilight is ecstatic that "Someone is even more hated in Ponyville than I am!"
