1This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will.
2
3There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
4* You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
5* You think it's the most well done.
6* It's your favorite play in that trope.
7* You just really like the source material.
8
9Oh, several things before you list examples:
10* Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
11* Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.
12* '''Sign your entries.'''

19* VanHelsingHateCrimes
20** [[Manga/TokyoGhoul CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul), which will indiscriminately kill any ghoul regardless of age or actions.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
21* VengefulGhost
22** [[spoiler:Agatha "Aggie" Prenderghast]] from ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'' - Tropers/IukaSylvie
23* VengefulVendingMachine
24** Undoubtedly the vending machine that Rimmer robs using the "coin on a string" trick in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIIOnlyTheGood Only The Good]]", which after unsuccessfully trying to alert someone, ''swears vengeance against him'' (and [[BrickJoke at the end of the episode]], actually gets it)! ~ @/ArcaneAzmadi
25-->'''Vending machine:''' You are my ''nemesis!'' One day our paths will cross again, and I ''will destroy you!''
26* VerbThis
27** [[Film/EvilDead2 "Swallow this."]] ~ Beedle
28** [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans "Devour this!"]], said Starfire. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
29* VerbalTic
30** Manga/{{Naruto}}. Dear ''God'', Naruto. ~ @/{{Carla}}
31*** Believe it, dattebayo! ~ @/MetalShadowX
32** [[VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial Mei Ijuin]] ''na no da'' ! ~ @/AceNoctali
33** [[Manga/RozenMaiden Suiseiseki's]] desu must not fail this one! ~desu ~ Kulsprutejojjo
34** [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Nipaah~ Nano desu~]] ~ @/{{Zfish9}}
35*** I second this and would like to add a [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hau au au]]. In light of the entire When They Cry franchise, I would also like to add an [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Uu uu]] and an [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Uryuu]] while I'm at it. ~Witch of Cicadas
36** [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Narf! Poit! Zort! Troz!]] ~ @/WillDraco
37** I'll tell you what, dang ol' [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Boomhauer]], man! ~redhed311
38** Manga/KanonChihoSaito. Don't believe me? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT2GRpwwS8M Watch the video]]. ~Aethix
39** [[Series/DoctorWho Ah, but what of the Doctor]], dear boy? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? --@/{{Wackd}}
40** The [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Mr. Saturns']] Zoom! Boing! Ding! ~ aNinjaWithAIDS
41** [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron]], [[BigYes yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!]] -~dave_the_assassin-~
42* VerbalWeakness
43** [[Anime/DragonBallZFusionReborn Janemba]], who can be physically harmed by ''insults''. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
44* VideoGame3DLeap
45** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' ~ [=WilliamShakesman=]
46** Aside from ''Super Mario 64'', ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' is probably the best example of this due to overhauling everything from the NES trilogy and still being as beloved as those games. ~ [=TimeLordVictorious=]
47* VideoGameCaringPotential
48** ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon''. If you like animals. ~ [=CounterBlitzkrieg=]
49** ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'', because the thought of missing a lone Pikmin is ''just'' that maddening. ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}}
50* VideoGameCrueltyPotential
51** ''VideoGame/TheSims''. ''[[CruelandUnusualDeath The]] [[ComedicSociopathy S]][[ColdBloodedTorture i]][[TooDumbToLive m]][[EvilFeelsGood s]]''. ~MetaFalcario, @/InsanityPrelude
52** ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}''. While some other games have [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} explored the nuances of evils such as genocide]], or [[VideoGame/HeartsOfIron dance around the topic]], this game is rather unique in giving you multiple options of genocide. Such as forced mass neutering, [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil having the species (more like race in this context) worked to the grave]], harvesting a species' LifeEnergy with Chemical Processing, and good old fashioned [[FinalSolution Extermination]]. There's much, ''much'' more to this, but if it's not obvious, "Least Unhinged Stellaris Player" is a meme for a reason. ~QueenOphiuca
53** ''VideoGame/MadWorld''. Sure, other games may have more potential, but in [=MadWorld=] it's a REQUIREMENT~ACW
54** ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' is this trope, to the point that (almost) all else seems like a cute puppy simulator. Just try to avoid collateral damage for one mission, I dare you. ~Ninjat_126
55** ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', for science! ~ @/{{Yuihime}}
56*** I don't even play this game and I'm seconding it. [[MoralEventHorizon Mermaid farms]], anyone? ~ @/ZettaToad
57*** Thirded. ~ @/{{Ionz}}
58*** Fourthed. ~ @/{{King of the Mime Swing}}
59** Killing [[TheScrappy Slippy Toad]] in the ''VideoGame/StarFox'' games. ~ @/iansimsjam*
60** [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Attacking Toriel just when she's convinced to stand down, or killing Papyrus when he offers to spare and let you go.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
61* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment
62** ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[spoiler: want to kill everything? well, unless you do some hacking, you can kiss your untainted GoldenEnding goodbye]] ~waddledeelover29
63** [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Cuccos]]. [[ZergRush Enough said.]] ~@MetalAiAi
64** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater The Sorrow]] ~ Fireside
65* ViewersAreGeniuses
66** ''Film/{{Primer}}''. That is all. ~ @/{{Comonad}}
67** ''Literature/CompleteWorldKnowledge'' ~ @/ManWithoutABody
68** Creator/DennisMiller's "rants" on his Creator/{{HBO}} talk show. Didn't quite work out as well for him when he was in the ''Series/MondayNightFootball'' announcer's booth, though. ~ @/WillyFourEyes
69** ''The Silent Partner'', which didn't do well in theaters because it turned out the viewers weren't. ~ @/MarvelGirl
70** Creator/HPLovecraft. -Ziggy Zag
71** ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic''. Including the occasional [[DontExplainTheJoke explanations]]. ~ @/ProgenyExMachina
72** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' ~ @/{{Carla}}
73** ''Series/TheWire'' ~ Mens Rea, rickdakirb
74** ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' (especially [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex the series]]) ~ Celestial
75** As much as this editor considered agreeing with ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Stand-Alone Complex]]'', in the end he must reluctantly give the championship belt to ''Literature/SoldierOfTheMist'' by Creator/GeneWolfe. --@/{{Gfrequency}}
76** ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'' ~ @/TwinBird
77** Any movie by Creator/MamoruOshii. ~ gatotsu911
78* ViewersAreMorons
79** Creator/{{NBC}}'s continued refusal to allow U.S viewers to access a legit livestream of Olympic opening ceremonies "so our producers can provide context" (translation: they think the incessant, inane blathering of ''Series/TheTodayShow'' hosts is ''[[UnwantedAssistance helping]]''. ~ @/{{Nlpnt}}
80*** Seconded ''so hard''. They do the same thing when covering the sports. It doesn't help that a lot of the commentators know next to nothing about the sport they're commentating, and somehow think we won't notice. They also like to pretend that the Americans are always the favorites to win even when they aren't and treat every loss like an unforeseeable upset and complete outrage. (Not to mention in Rio they tried to get the Portuguese "Estados Unidos" changed to the English "United States" in the parade of nations so "viewers wouldn't get confused." ~ @/{{Cailleach}}
81* VigilanteMan
82** ComicBook/ThePunisher ~ [=WilliamShakesman=]
83* VileVillainLaughableLackey
84** [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Emperor Belos and his Coven]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
85* VilerNewVillain:
86** Vulture from ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' just wanted to look out after his crew and protected Spider-Man's identity. [[spoiler:Mysterio from ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' threatened his crew for his mistakes and ends up exposing Spider-Man's identity to the world just to get the last laugh.]] ~[=Kuchiki222=]
87* VileVillainSaccharineShow
88** VideoGame/{{Kirby}}~ACW
89*** So seconded. "Look at this adorable world with its adorable protagonist aw how cu- [[BloodyMurder IS THAT THING ATTACKING WITH BLOOD!?!?!?!?"]] ~ @/ZettaToad
90** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] ~@/SacredSturgeon
91** Let's see...[[Series/KamenRiderFourze Pyxis Zodiarts, Cancer Zodiarts, Aries Zodiarts, Gemini Zodiarts, Sagittarius Zodiarts.]] on a ''Series/KamenRider'' show about ''friendship'', made to ''cheer up the faces of children after the 2011 Tsunami''. -Azada
92** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', with Darkrai, Ghetsis and Purple Eyes being popular examples, even if Ghetsis doesn't qualify as a Complete Monster. ~@/KandiKorn22
93** In [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a series with no shortage of these]], Starlight Glimmer takes the cake. When she first shows up, she's revealed to be essentially a cult leader with a silver tongue, a hatred of individuality, and the disturbing ability to remove a pony's cutie mark, which represents the essence of who they are (meaning she's essentially [[YourSoulIsMine taking their souls]]). While those who fell for her rhetoric are shown that she doesn't have their best interests in mind all the cutie marks she's taken are returned to their rightful owners, she herself escapes, and returns at the end of the season with a massive boost of magical power, enough to match Twilight Sparkle. With it, she completes and modifies the time travel spell of an ancient sage, and uses it to disrupt the past, with Twilight repeatedly trying to stop her and failing, causing her to see the alternate timelines that result from those failures, each worse than the last.
94** [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland Simone Lenoir, Lena Dupree, and Jacques]] are probably some of the most notable examples of this trope in the entire ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' franchise. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
95** [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck Darkwarrior Duck]] ~newaccount
96* VillainBeatingArtifact
97** ''[[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Samurai Jack's]]''' katanna, the one weapon Aku fears more than anything. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
98* VillainDecay
99** The Rabbids from ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}: VideoGame/RavingRabbids'' used to be more intimidating in previews. Now they're total incompetent jokes. [[RuleOfFunny They're much more hilarious that way]]. ~@/{{Cliche}}
100** ''Literature/{{Hannibal}}'', why? ~ @/ManWithoutABody
101** [[Series/{{Alias}} Irina Derevko]]. ~ @/VoodooChild
102** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser.]] But in this case, Administrivia/TropesAreNotBad ~mrbits, rickdakirb
103** [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Raijuta Isurugi]] ~ gatotsu911
104** Carface, the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'', goes from a menacing villain to a laughable lackey in the [[WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven2 sequel]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
105* VillainsWantMercy
106** [[Franchise/MegaMan Dr. Wily whenever he's defeated by Mega Man]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
107* VillainOverride
108** "'''''[[VideoGame/MassEffect2 ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.]]'''''" ~ @/{{Skritz}}, rickdakrib, @/InsanityPrelude
109*** Seconded, AND [[Pantheon/VillainousPowers Deified.]] - @/{{CelPrevXXVI}}
110** [[spoiler: [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Cat Sith]]]]. ~ hujwernoo
111* VillainessesWantHeroes
112** [[Manga/AkameGaKill Esdeath's unrequited crush on Tatsumi]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
113* VillainousBreakdown
114** [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]]. ~Chuckg
115*** Seconded. ~ Tongpu
116*** Thirded. ~ Pureauthor
117*** Obviously ~ @/MS3049
118*** Fiftith ~ babyhenchy1
119*** Sixth...ed! ~ Iceeh
120*** Seventh...ed! ~ Mermaidgirl45
121*** Eighthed. ~ @/KentuckyTroper1990
122*** Nineth...ed ~ @/{{Zfish9}}
123*** Tenthed. ~ Weeping Willow
124*** Eleventhed. ~ luigijd
125*** Twelfth...ed ~Keshia
126*** Thirteenthed. ~ Sanfranman91
127*** Fourteenth-ed. ~ hujwernoo
128*** Fifteenthed. To this day, I have difficulty watching that part, it was so powerful. -Whunt
129*** Sixteenthed. ~ Fireside
130** [[Film/DirtyHarry The Scorpio Killer]]. ~Killer BOB Dole
131** [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Apollo Justice's]] [[spoiler:Kristoph Gavin]]. For an idea of this, he gets so mad that as he raises his fist to bang on the witness stand in frustration, the [[spoiler:dishes]] that had previously fallen on the ground behind him ''rise up into the air and fall down as he slams his fist on the witness stand.'' Please note: this man has no magic powers. ~Darkurai
132*** Same game series, different perp: [[spoiler:Damon Gant]]. How many villains do ''you'' know that have a breakdown speech where they stand there laughing and clapping maniacally for an ''entire minute''? ~ @/WillyFourEyes
133*** Same series (notice a trend?), different villain: [[spoiler: Manfred von Karma]]. After he spends hours grinning smugly at you, the guy snaps like a twig on slow-motion and bangs his head against the wall after ''screaming at the top of his lungs''. ~ vicnog
134*** Really, pretty much any villain in this series. [[spoiler:Redd White]] with his strange headdesking thing, [[spoiler:Dahlia Hawthorne]] in 3-1 AND 3-5. [[spoiler:The Tiger]]'s seizure-inducing breakdown, and [[spoiler:Daryan Cresend]] and his hair. Going everywhere.
135*** Gotta give it to [[spoiler:Matt Engarde]] clawing his face out, although all of the breakdowns in the series are great. Considering it's kind of a once an episode type thing, the whole SERIES deserves to be the Most Triumphant Example, although this troper is tempted by [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] and [[Series/TheWire Marlo Stanfield]]. ~rickdakirb
136** ''Film/RedDragon'' ~ @/ManWithoutABody
137** [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] ~ @/{{Lionheart0}}
138** [[Series/TheWire Marlo Stanfield]]: '''MY NAME IS MY NAME!''' ~ insert_name_here92
139** [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Gul Dukat]] to the point of [[spoiler:''getting plastic surgery to make him look like a Bajoran and seducing the head of the Bajoran religion.'']] ~ [=EvaLilith=]
140** [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Soujirou Seta]]. His sudden change from DissonantSerenity to this is damn ''scary'', and simply masterful ~ @/{{Carla}}
141*** Seconded. ~ gatotsu911
142** [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends World,]] a RealityWarper who controls all aspects of the world inside his toybox. When he gets angry, the world literally begins to [[EarthShatteringKaboom implode upon itself.]] ~ @/DontKillBugs
143** [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond The Joker]]]], if only because the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse saved its very best VillainousBreakdown for last~ Oberyn
144** UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler in ''Film/{{Downfall}}'' ~ [=CounterBlitzkrieg=]
145** [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood Cesare Borgia]] ~ Andreus
146** [[Film/TheProfessional "Benny... bring me everyone." "What do you mean 'everyone?'"]] '''''"EVE-RY-ONE!!!"''''' ~ This1person
147** [[VideoGame/Borderlands2 Handsome Jack]]: '''YOU ARE A BANDIT, AND I''' '''''AM THE GODDAMN HERO!!!''''' - Baconyeet73
148* VillainousBSOD
149** [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 It was me. It was me. It was me.]] ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
150* VillainousFriendship
151** [[WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel Angel Dust and Cherri Bomb]] - Tropers/DemonDuckofDoom
152* VillainousPrincess
153** [[Music/EvilliousChronicles Riliane]]. - @/IukaSylvie
154** [[Literature/Overlord2012 Renner]] - Sanfranman91
155** [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]] - Tropwrs/DemonDuckofDoom
156* VillainHasAPoint
157** The {{Arc Villain}}s of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', as [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Toph, all had good ideas, but went too far with them. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
158** [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords Darth Traya]] being completely right about the Force being a source of an Eternal War, which is proven by all other ''Franchise/StarWars'' media that takes place after ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', including George's plans for his Sequel Trilogy. ~@/Kevjro7
159** [[Film/BlackPanther2018 Killmonger]] ~ Loekman3
160* VillainProtagonist
161** Lord [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]] ~ @/{{Eriksson}}
162*** Seconded for being the most hilariously awesome villain protagonist ever. ~rickdakrib
163** [[Franchise/LupinIII Lupin III]], the longest running, most successful example in anime and manga, and still ''[[LovableRogue the best]]'' at it. ~ @/MiinU
164** [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]]. ~@/{{Mapi-chan}}
165*** [[@/{{deeman45}} Full stop.]]
166*** [[@/{{Carla}} THIS]].
167*** [[@/AceNoctali + 1!]]
168*** [[@/{{Chihuahua0}} I guess it's offical now.]]
169*** [[@/{{Zfish9}} Yeah, I'd say so.]]
170*** Very much. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
171** [[Theatre/{{Amadeus}} Salieri]] ~Silence
172** [[Literature/AmericanPsycho Patrick Bateman]] -getmemygun
173** [[ComicBook/StarWarsDoctorAphra Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra.]] Morally-dubious archaeologist and one-time [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] fangirl. Terrible person, tremendous fun. ~ @/{{cosmatonspoon}}
174** WesternAnimation/InvaderZim ~@/{{Pikawil}}
175** Film/TheAbominableDrPhibes, particularly in the sequel ~ @/ManWithoutABody
176** [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]]. Non-stop. The games never try to hide from you the fact that the guy is a monster, and after the events of the first game you can cross off the Hero in AntiHero in regards to him. ~ The Jerk with No Name, Dracosummoner, @/{{todbot1}}
177** WebVideo/{{Doctor Horrible|sSingAlongBlog}}. ~ [=EvaLilith=]
178** The Nazis from ''Film/DasBoot''. No other story I know of can so consistently make you root for them and feel for them before slapping yourself once more and reminding yourself of who they are. That ending alone seals the deal. -Ziggy Zag
179** [[Film/Scarface1983 Tony Montana]]. ~ [=CounterBlitzkrieg=]
180** [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Alex De Large]]. ~ gatotsu911
181*** Seconded ~ atrasicarius
182*** Thirded. ~ thatcrazykid768
183*** Fourthed. ~ Tropers/DecafGrub47393
184** [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater The Light Warriors]] ~ [=shamchimp28=]
185** [[Manga/{{MW}} Michio Yuki]]. ~ Death Note Fan
186** What, no [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]] yet? rtw2act
187** The PlayerCharacter of ''VideoGame/{{Hatred}}''. ~ Bobg
188** {{Theatre/Macbeth}}, [[JustForFun/ZerothLawOfTropeExamples of course]] - [=LinkToTheFuture=]
189** [[Series/TheSopranos Tony Soprano]] ~ [=WilliamShakesman=]
190** [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Eren Yaeger]] ~ Loekman3
191** Playa/The Boss in ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''. Unlike the other games in the series, this game does not sugarcoat Playa at all. The game fully revels in them being a unmitigated psychopath whose only redeeming quality is their loyalty to their gang members. Anyone else is fair game. ~ [=RyanPuffs=]
192* VillainSong
193** "[[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Hellfire]]" by [[Creator/TonyJay Judge Claude Frollo]]. ~@/UltraSonic007, @/{{Gfrequency}}, @/{{Zfish9}}, Sanfranman91, thatcrazykid768
194*** Even the [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/17640-top-11-villian-songs Nostalgia Critic]] thinks so!
195** Creator/KeithDavid's "Friends on the Other Side" in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' ~ @/ManWithoutABody
196** [[WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest Toxic Love]] by [[Creator/TimCurry Hexxus]] ~ @/{{Surenity}}
197** [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar's]] "Be Prepared". Creator/JeremyIrons, Nazi imagery, and mountains of ''bones''. ~ @/VoodooChild

202** [[WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}} "In the Dark of the Night"]] by [[Creator/JimCummings1952 Rasputin]] ~@/MacPhisto
203** "The Acid Queen" from ''Film/{{Tommy}}'', by Music/TheWho. Or maybe "Career of Evil" by Music/BlueOysterCult if that counts. -Ziggy Zag
204** What? No mention of Ursula? [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 You poor unfortunate souls!]] - Max1099
205** Music/DoctorSteel. Many, since he's a musical supervillain. But "Dr. Steel" is probably the crowner. "I have become the man with a plan / With an army of toys and a mechanical band / Ruling the world making everything real / I’m Dr. Steel, Dr. Steel!" ~ @/JonnyB
206** [[EvilMatriarch The Queen of the Night's]] aria "Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen," from Mozart's ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute''.
207*** Seconded. How many villain songs have multiple instances of the third F above middle C? @/FruityOatyBars
208*** Thirded. You ''know'' you're screwed when the villianess goes whistle register on you @/{{Cailleach}}
209** [[Music/TheProtomen The Hounds]]. ~ @/KingClark
210*** "There is a hell that has been building from the moment we first met." indeed. So very seconded. ~@/ReplisMonathin
211*** I feel like I'm betraying Disney a little here, but... thirded. ~ @/InsanityPrelude
212** [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} "Prince Ali (Reprise)", by Jafar]] ~ @/StClair
213** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic This Day (Aria)]] ~ @/WaxingName
214** [[Music/{{Voltaire}} And it's so easy when you're evil... (...) I do it all because I'm evil...]] - @/ChrisX
215** If [[WesternAnimation/VeggieTales The Bunny Song]] counts, that's one of my faves. -Whunt
216** [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon NO CHANCE!]] That's what ya got! - @/{{KingFez}}
217** [[Videogame/SonicAdventure2 "E.G.G.M.A.N"]] ~Bowbowis
218** [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar You're Only Second Rate]] as sung by Jafar to Genie. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
219* TheVillainSucksSong
220** ''[[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire ...And so he spoke, and so he spoke. That Lord of Castamere. But now the rains weep o'er his halls with no one there to hear...]]'' ~ @/{{Oberyn}}

231** Music/DoctorSteel. ~ @/JonnyB
232** [[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} Desus]] ~ spacemonkey37
233** [[Literature/{{Safehold}} Eric Langhorne]]. Mass murderer, and GreaterScopeVillain who braiwashed entire humanity, and kept it in medieval stasis, worshiped as a god by everyone for 1000 years.- [=NNinja=]
234** [[Literature/MoribitoIIGuardianOfTheDarkness Yuguro Musa]]. - @/IukaSylvie

244** [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Murphy]], even if they [[UnresolvedSexualTension haven't gotten together yet, dammit.]] ~ hujwernoo
245** [[Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead Rei Miyamoto]]. Don't pick a fight with Takashi while she's around, 'cuz [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt-c35cu6UA she'll end it for you.]] Quickly. ~ MiinU
246** [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld Marta striking down Alice when she's about to kill Emil]]. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
247* VisualInnuendo
248** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAURo0rwt6g Fever for the Flava]]'' by Hot Action Cop. A complete list of all the VisualInnuendo in the music video would be as long as ''the rest of this entire page,'' although I suppose I can highlight the part where a girl energetically strips while poledancing around a street sign (for 'Seaman Drive') while in the background construction workers (under a sign reading 'Men at work') use jackhammers on the ground until they strike a water main which explosively geysers into the air over everyone. A non-stop [[HurricaneOfPuns Hurricane of]] VisualInnuendo. ~ @/ArcaneAzmadi

282** [[VideoGame/EldenRing Margit the Fell Omen.]] It's an open world game so it's actually up to you when you get up to him, but if you just [[FollowThePlottedLine obediently follow the guidance of Grace along the critical path]] you'll be cheerfully hacking your way through soldiers, wolves and maybe the occasional troll, only stepping off to the side to do the odd mini-dungeon where the boss is little more than an upjumped EliteMook.

343** Thor's Hammer/The Mana Cannon from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia''. A WaveMotionGun so big that if you power it with the world's mana - which is what it was ''designed for'' - it ''kills the WorldTree producing that mana''.

488** As mentioned above in WhamEpisode, the part in [[VideoGame/{{Warframe}} The Second Dream]] where [[spoiler:the cryopod opens, a humanoid figure limply slips out, your Warframe collapses like a puppet with its strings cut (which is actually ''exactly what it is'') and the realisation slowly dawns that the unknown figure is [[TomatoInTheMirror YOU!]]]] Or if that wasn't enough for you, [[spoiler:[[MissionControl the Lotus]] arriving ''in person'' to save you at the end of the quest]]! ~ @/ArcaneAzmadi

537** [[Series/{{Frasier}} Niles and Daphne]]. They kept it going for ''years'', and it somehow managed to avoid becoming tiresome. - @/Azorius24
538** Ross and Rachel on ''Series/{{Friends}}''. The entire show -- 10 seasons, 236 episodes -- is approximately 5,664 minutes long. There are literally ''seven'' minutes of that runtime that ''do not'' live in the shadow of Ross and Rachel's UnresolvedSexualTension: the three before it's introduced, and the four after it's wrapped up.

631* WorldOfJerkass
632** Besides Utena, Juri, Miki, and Wakana, it's hard to find a decent person in ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. Almost everyone is willing to bully Anthy, almost all the men are abusive cads, Nanami starts out as an AlphaBitch, Shiori is willing to do anything to spite Juri, and no adults are reliable. This, along with all the sickening things that happen, had afflicted me with TooBleakStoppedCaring by the end of the series, making me wonder why in the world it's considered a "feminist masterpiece". - @/IukaSylvie

682** [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Master Xehanort]] is good at adapting his plans when things don't work out as intended. His first attempt to forge the χ-blade and stealing Terra's body, splitting himself into a Heartless and Nobody that would both try to claim Kingdom Hearts their own way, or use their defeats to come back to power and form a new Organization XIII to help him forge the χ-blade properly. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller
