1	* ''Webcomic/TheComebackPathOfPrincessFromMars'' has epic public humiliation for several of Olga's enemies.
2	** Her [[DomesticAbuse fiancé]] is really put through the ringer in chapters 4-10 as he constantly tries to bully her one last time and it all backfires, ending with him losing a duel he himself demanded in spite of having just about every possible advantage ''and actively cheating'' by doping with drugs. Because of the drug use, he winds up shipped off to prison ''in a full body cast'', and just in case he was planning for his father to bail him out, by imperial decree, his entire house has been dismantled, the assets spread to all other noble houses, and his father is now a penniless commoner.
3	** Ritter Ely picks up where the abusive fiancé left off and tries to murder Olga repeatedly when the task force they were tested for in the first place takes off to Mars. Olga retaliates by ruining his public image, since he wasn't ''really'' looking to fight but was just engaging in EngineeredHeroics to give the empire a PretextForWar, and it all ends with her turning his own tricks on him, leaving him slowly choking on his own blood, as he had planned for her.
4	* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'' has been a series long one for Melissa Hellrune from ''Webcomic/EerieCuties''.
5	* The "Battle for Barthis" arc of ''[[Webcomic/DominicDeegan Dominic Deegan: Oracle For Hire]]'' concludes with Dominic telling Serk Brakkis, [[ToThePain in exacting detail]], how Brakkis's life is about to be ruined. Brakkis then loses his toupee, soils himself when Luna shows him a terrifying illusion, and for the grand finale, gets teleported off to stand trial for his crimes... by the lightning mage known as the Maestro. And given the look on the Maestro's face, it will ''not'' be a fun trip.
6	** Doubly subverted when [[spoiler:Brakkis is on the verge of manipulating the law into giving him a GetOutOfJailFreeCard when Celesto Morgan brutally murders him]].
7	* ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'' has the "Wild Hunt" arc, where the Unseelie Princeling leads the Wild Hunt after Quentyn. Turns out, that's the ''last'' thing he should have done: [[spoiler: not only are the Racoonan as a whole gifted with the boon of being forbidden fruit for the Hunt (to the point where the Hunt isn't allowed even in areas where there's Raccoonan living), but Quentyn himself is an extra-special case - he's one of the White Stag's Marked, which means that the princeling has broken ''two'' of his race's most important laws. Either of the two alone would make the whole thing an illegal Hunt, but the two together combine to make things far worse for him.]] Since Quentyn not only ''won'' the Hunt - the Rooster did crow, after all - but [[spoiler: the Hunt itself was illegal to begin with,]] the price the princeling has to pay is ''tripled''. [[spoiler: Quentyn uses his three boons to first set free every single debtor and bond-slave in the lord's service (which amounts to ''everyone'' in his service) ''and'' nullify every debt or favour owed to the princeling (leaving him a pauper, since the Sidhe economy works on favours owed). ''Then'' he makes the princeling return "everything garnered unlawfully" - Quentyn was aiming for just the children the Unseelie stole, but he gets the duke a ridiculous amount of treasure (although the GenreSavvy duke mentions that he'd be happier without it - that much wealth will only cause trouble sooner or later, after all). His third wish is translated on the forum thus: "Dolan, princeling of the Unseelighe fey...wicked enemy of mortal men...depart now, you and all your house beneath you, harming none...never to hunt this plane again."]] The result is that the princeling suffers a VillainousBreakdown, literally rending his garments and cursing Quentyn's name, and vowing to wait as long as it takes for him to be legally allowed to seek his revenge on Quentyn (and his children's children's children).
8	* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': After Mr. Kornada had been [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01659.htm repeatedly]] ''[[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01687.htm very rude]]'' to Florence, Sam came up with a [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01688.htm Plan B]] that would [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01689.htm thoroughly]] [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1700/fc01690.htm humiliate him]].
9	* The BigBad from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Xykon, seems to be particularly fond of this trope (though he usually kills his victims in the process anyways). He seems to have a thing for humiliating the paladin O-Chul in particular, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0448.html starting here]].
10	** However, in O-Chul's [[spoiler:and Vaarsuvius']] case, not only did they not break, but also Xykon and Redcloak were the ones on the receiving end.
11	* In ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' this is [[TheUnfavorite Syphile's]] very existence in nearly every appearance she makes in the comic. [[spoiler: Right up until her death, at least she's out of her misery.]]
12	** After the timeskip the Sharen clan, in particular Sarv'swati, wind up going through this as they increasingly start losing the war against the upstart Sarghress clan. First half of Sarv'swati's army takes off with her little sister Zala'ess so Zala can make a power play and earn the loyalty of a neighboring city, then the BodyDouble of her mother (who Sarv'swati [[SelfMadeOrphan helped kill]]) she's been using to keep her hold on the city is publicly assassinated and one of the few clans in the city still helping her pulls back their troops in response. ''Then'' her pet project of a PenalColony first has most of the slaves freed by a Sarghress squad and later falls ''completely'' when the rest of the Sarghress army arrives and demolishes what was left of her forces there before using the tunnel leading from it to sneak attack her main fortress from behind, with some of her other sister Nishi'kanta's family sabotaging their defenses from the inside before fleeing as payback for Sarv's own betrayal years before. The icing on the cake comes when she's forced to make a LastStand at her mother's tower, nearly gets killed by her own great-niece, gets a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from her OldRetainer about how the entire situation is her own doing and fails to kill him for it since she unknowingly dropped her axe in her tiredness, and then breaks down like a child in front of her mother's collapsed throne room begging her to come back. Her final attempt to win back her honor with a rematch with Quain'tana also fails miserably when her little sister Zala'ess secretly sabotages the match by trapping Sarv's foot with some magic, ending with Quain'tana delivering the killing blow to Sarv's head.
13	* In ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'', [[FallenPrincess Gertrude]]'s backstory is presented as a near-constant humiliation conga caused by several chance encounters with Sam where he unwittingly ends up ruining her life piece by piece. When the finally snaps and attempts to murder Sam, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he doesn't even remember having met her]].
14	* The Demons of the Dimension of Pain in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' probably get the longest one ever. [[spoiler: first there were their series on embarrassing failures at trying to kill Torg on each Halloween, Lord Horribus' was the worst between his unexpected diahrrea and getting controlled by a magic spell through complete accident. Horribus is then exiled into being a cameraman to a demonic Steve Irwin parody. The other dimension of Pain demons go through a goofy election period that ends with Terribus selling his soul to a mortal, who actually turned out to be an angel who gradually transforms the Dimension of Pain and its residents into some tastes like diabetes Care Bears meets Barney land. After finally beating the angel, they all get trapped in balls and get stuck in a chasm. They get out of their balls through an innuendo-laden process that leaves them with high pitched voices and no will to do anything. Then Terribus in disguised as the Demon King makes them start a church and play Bingo games for crappy prizes. After throwing out Terribus they then attack the real Demon King who then makes them go through exercise/exorcise routines ... really, after all that, is it any wonder they go berzerk all over the Dimension of Lame?]]
15	* ''Webcomic/{{Dregs}}'': Von Willendorfer is humiliatingly called out for his stupidity by Chub and Mags, then gets his HazmatSuit broken and is almost suffocated by the stench of the sewers, then suffers an apparent DisneyVillainDeath, only to survive his fall into the depths of the sewer, get tossed around by water currents and machinery, and end up stuck in a comically flooded hazmat suit. Then [[RodentsOfUnusualSize Ironfang]] [[ExitPursuedByABear finds him]]. After all that, it's eventually revealed he was found by the police, linked to the bomb plot, and had his stupidity publicised in the newspapers.
16	* Pages 21 through 23 of ''Webcomic/AnecdoteOfError''. Atshi fails the arrintay test, then explodes her kipzlada again even after correcting her prior mistakes, and Shimei throws the teacher’s words back at her in a demeaning manner. Then Atshi answers a history question wrong, Shimei gives the right answer, and Nishkose loudly laughs at Atshi’s stupidity. Then she causes ''more'' explosions that knock her to the floor, and Shimei helps her up [[YankTheDogsChain only to push her away and call her hopeless to her face]]. All these events are finished in about one panel each, giving the impression that they pass by in rapid succession.
17	* ''Webcomic/KaitenMutenmaru'': In ''[[Recap/KaitenMutenmaruSeaOfTheBeginning Sea of the Beginning]]'', Crocell Xylel goes through a series of events that utterly demolishes his arrogance after Mutenmaru and his friends confront him. As the battle with Mutenmaru goes on, Crocell's ultimate hero suit transforms him into a grotesque monster who rants about how he will be the strongest hero in the world. Just as Crocell is defeated and lies defenseless on the ground, Thia betrays him by blowing up the building of Crocell's company to continue his own research. Crocell has to be saved by a group of heroes, one of whom helps him repent. Soon afterward, three more of Crocell's benefactors reveal that Crocell was just a pawn in Sick's plan instead of being friends and equals with him. This culminates in Sick flying away with Eryth and Ritol as he steals Crocell's research on Abominable Crystals for himself.
