* Jake from ''PKComic'' is a prime example of a ButtMonkey
* Syphile from ''{{Drowtales}}''. Also crosses into [[TheWoobie Woobie]] territory for some readers, since at least at the beginning comparatively little of it was her fault, while some of her later failures (and eventually [[spoiler:her death]]) were more due to her own malevolence or stupidity, especially [[AbusiveParents her actions]] towards her own adopted sister.
** [[MoralEventHorizon And the kitten]]. [[ThisIsUnforgivable Mostly the kitten]].
* Almost the entire cast of the webcomic ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' takes turns being the Butt Monkey. Black Mage takes center stage (Brian has even flat-out said "everything that happens, happens to hurt Black Mage"), but Fighter is being [[AmusingInjuries stabbed]] by him almost constantly. Red Mage gets his fair share of pain. White Mage is emotionally tortured by the utter lack of interest the chosen warriors have in their quest and the frequency with which they kill innocents or each other. Garland, the first boss, started as this before becoming just incompetent. The recurring Onion Kid character only even exists to have his new foster families [[StuffedIntoTheFridge casually slaughtered]]. Thief has to deal with Berserker attacking him at sight and being torched by Bahamut, and Black Belt got near-slaughtered by several encounters including Black Mage, [[spoiler:until he eventually [[KilledOffForReal died]]]]. In a mild subversion, Black Mage actually deserves Butt Monkey status.
** Also, recently, Sarda has revealed that he too is a Butt Monkey in a roundabout way -- [[spoiler:he's the Onion Kid, all growed up and looking to exact vengeance upon the ruffians that repeatedly ruined his life. Not only that, he's his own Butt Monkey, because as Red Mage points out, all the bad things that happened to the Onion Kid, almost without exception, happened because Sarda sent the Light Warriors on their quest in the first place]].
* Davan of ''SomethingPositive''. Within the last three years, his long-time girlfriend left him to pursue her dream job, [[spoiler: his mother died, his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer]]'s, he's had a paternity scare (which the author admitted he almost made Davan the father just to spite some of his critics), and his acting career is a string of roles as rapists and psychos. All this doesn't even include the casual cruelties heaped upon him by his ([[VitriolicBestBuds so-called]]) friends.
** Some might argue Mike is a bigger Butt Monkey, but it's clear that most of the stuff that happens to him is both deserved and self-inflicted.
** And don't forget Kharisma, who was burned and disfigured and is currently serving a life sentence in prison for a murder that, ironically, she didn't even commit. Why is that ironic you ask? Because she was actively ''trying'' to kill the person whose murder sent her to jail.
* The entire line of Boxbots from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''. After only [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=205 two]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=418 appearances]], it's become clear that nobody, not even the [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/cast.html Cast Page]], likes Boxbot.
** And then there's [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=440 this]]: an entire strip of nothing but Boxbot being a Butt Monkey.
** In contrast, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=510 everyone loves Robox]]. Must be the legs.
* The character Head-leg (a head on a leg, go figure) from ''{{Irritability}}'' was literally made by EvilGenius Exoth to be tortured and die in horrifying ways over and over again. Exoth just doesn't like poor Head-leg.
* Hannelore from ''QuestionableContent'', with elements of TheWoobie.
* To a certain extent, Vaarsuvius from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', who in the recent arc keeps getting screwed over by the plot in painful and imaginative ways.
** To an extent, the entire Order of the Stick. To quote V, "It is troubling that we can now recognize our failures by immediate auditory familiarity."
* Riku in ''AnsemRetort'' is the target of countless acts of violence that should have killed him by now. He's been cut in half God knows how many times, burnt, blown up, electrocuted, stabbed, violated, tortured, and even had his heart removed. While he found a girlfriend in season 5, for the most part, even the comparatively friendly characters in the comic go out of their way to hate Riku.
** Sometimes [[TokenGay Marluxia]] fills in, as does Sora, who forgets it quickly.
* Myrith [=McRain=] from ''[[http://Mortifer.smackjeeves.com Mortifer]]''. It starts with [[MagnificentBastard Joey]] capturing him, chaining him to a desk near the breakroom, and forcing him to do hacking work to [[spoiler:find black market kingpins]]. But the crowning moment of this has to be when Alyce, who is revealed to have known him from childhood, finds out he's there... And, well, [[http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com/comics/466510/chap22page11/ just]] [[http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com/comics/466666/chap22page12/ look]].
* In the ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' FanWebComic by [[http://www.q-ice.com/comic/nanoha/index.htm Q-Ice]], being one of Nanoha's [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriended ones]] automatically lands you in this role. Just ask [[http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/4869/nano001trsz9.jpg Fate]], [[http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/8657/nano003trek2.jpg Vita]], and [[http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/42/nano095trer2.jpg Teana]].
* ''{{Nodwick}}''; one of the many Butt Monkeys to adopt the DeadpanSnarker path to make up for it. Even when he isn't shown "onscreen" to be suffering from fates ranging from [[JustEatHim being eaten by an ogre]] to being actively ''disintegrated'' by evil adventurers, well... the page quote is a pretty good indicator of the kind of things ''his employers'' put him through for a quick laugh. And then there's the [[AbnormalAmmo henchapult]]....
* ''SoreThumbs'': Fairbanks, the StrawmanPolitical Republican, who at this point is even starting to actually resemble a monkey. (It's all about the ears and facial expressions!)
* Jyrras Gianna from ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' never seems to get a break. He's frequently harassed by his family, [[AndCallHimGeorge choked by girls]], teased by [[JerkAss Abel]], written into an embarrassing novel, and finally, [[spoiler: cursed by TheFairFolk ''shortly after having a nervous breakdown when discovering his feelings for his best friend'' and, as a result of the Fae meddling, has been declared "Bachelor of the Year" by a major woman's magazine, which sounds great until you remember he ''hates'' people calling him cute, is painfully shy and, oh, that said best friend is ''a guy'']]. Good Lord!
** He is also TheWoobie for some fans.
* ''{{Twokinds}}'': Poor, poor Keith...
* Subverted in ''TalesOfTheQuestor'' where the lead character, Quentyn, is the apparent Butt Monkey of the story. He is a runt, bullied and put down by many of his peers, the governing counsel of his town largely doesn't take him seriously, and he is unable to use the [[FunctionalMagic Lux power]] around him like almost everyone else. However, when he finally makes the big sacrifice that gets him hailed as a hero in his hometown, the chief bully, Rahan, drunkenly complains about how Quentyn actually has an unfair advantage. Rahan wails that since Quentyn is seems to be such a Butt Monkey to everyone, they always feel sorry for him and thus he has gotten away with a variety of antics that would have had anyone else run out of town. Quentyn comes close to believing that, but his friend Kestrel reminds him forcefully that he deserved that sympathy and he never abused it.
* Doug from ''FletcherApts'', but only when Bill is involved.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' Rumisiel started out as a Butt Monkey, however as he has [[CharacterDevelopment become (marginally)]] more competent, the job of Butt Monkey has fallen more and more to resident IneffectualSympatheticVillain Cassiel who has sunk to the point where she has been [[http://www.misfile.com/?date=2009-05-19 defeated by a caterer]].
* ''[[http://www.agameoffools.com A Game of Fools]]'': Neeg. Poor, poor Neeg.
** And, to a lesser degree, Joey.
* ''PennyArcade'''s [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/11/12/ Safety Monkey]]. Don't tell me you don't have one.
** Also count Tycho, one of the core characters. Among other mishaps, gets abused by his "friend" and fellow main character Gabe. Questionable, though. [[VitriolicBestBuds He gives Gabe as good as he gets]].
* Nothing ever goes right for [[LasLindas Miles]]. And if something actually ''does'', it will likely end up backfiring horribly for him, and amusingly for the readers.
* Mike in ''BittersweetCandyBowl''. There are times even Charlie Brown would feel sorry for him.
* Dr. Schtein in ''Webcomic/StringTheory'' - although, he ''is'' a JerkAss most of the time, so it evens out.
* Matt from [[Webcomic/{{ptitletswco1hy}} Murphy's Law]].
* Quine from [[StarslipCrisis Starslip]].
* ''TheDreamer'': Poor Nathan. He gets beat up when trying to apologize to Alan, has to escort Bea back to Boston, his Colonel doesn't think he's competent enough, and he's never even been in a single battle.
* Pembroke from {{Femmegasm}} fits this trope perfectly. He's had his hand cut off accidentally, lives in a cardboard box, and been date raped all for laughs. Poor guy.
* Moloch Von Zinzer from ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. He does start by bringing it on himself, [[spoiler: what with helping his brother steal Agatha's locket]] but given his brother [[spoiler: dies]], getting taken prisoner by Baron Wulfenbach under the misaprehension he's a Spark, getting sent to Castle Heterodyne when it's discovered he's not, winding up as [[spoiler: Agatha]]'s reluctant minion since helping [[spoiler: her]] is the only way he can possibly regain his freedom, having the Castle near-miss him with death traps for shits and giggles, and having [[spoiler: two and possible three girls, all of whom are potentially dangerous and at least two of whom know how to kill while the third is definitely a potential AxeCrazy where her rivals are concerned, all as romantic interests]] seems like somewhat disproportionate retribution by the universe.
* [[HannaIsNotABoysName Conrad]]. The author herself has stated that her favorite pairing is Conrad/Misery.
* Lenny from OurLittleAdventure. He's the one who has to lug the group's treasure swag around, and Angelika and Rocky are often pretty mean to him. Some of their treatment towards Lenny might be due to his [[ExtremeDoormat passive nature.]]
* A-san from ''OverlordAcademy''.
* Gary in ''[[MenageA3 Ménage à 3]]''.
** Although he does have his small victories such as Lita (Zii's cat, who hates everyone) seeming to prefer his company over anyone else, and Yuki is slowly starting to like him, even giving him a kiss on the cheek after he does her a favor (though [[YankTheDogsChain right after that, she left him as soon as she saw Zii]] before convincing her to have "her pearl polished" and screaming for a good part of the night, making it impossible for Gary and Dillon to sleep).
* Luke from FreakAngels. He was recently healed after a bullet through the head, and had a penis drawn over the spot of new, whole flesh on his forehead where the bullet entered, chemically castrated by the doctor without his knowledge, and know people are considering wiping his memory. Granted, he is a psychic rapist...
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Amanda is this as the eternal victim of Dr Germahn's experiments.
* Label Buddy of ''ComicShorts'' was created for the sole purpose of being "the stupid character that gets hurt and/or [[TheyKilledKenny dies all the time]]."
* Jock ff My Two Cents Plus Taxhttp://mtcpt.smackjeeves.com/
* Zoe from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' is this in a mountain of spades. One has to wonder, being that several characters in the series are based on people the author knows, if Zoe is based off some one he hates.
** On Zoe's first appearance, very first panel in fact, she got locked out of her car with the engine running and then (two panels later) promptly ignored by the people she was asking for help in favor a chick with a pair of three-of-the-letter-that-comes-after-Cs. Shortly after she gets her arm twisted by the same guys because of an armada of other multiply-barely-passing-grade-letter endowed women. A few minutes later she meets Bun-Bun... [[KillerRabbit 'nuff]] [[TokenEvilTeammate said]]. Then, minutes later as she is sitting, minding her own business, recovering from her previous wounds, she gets hit in the head by a frisbee thrown by one of the previously mentioned improperly-counter-weighted women... then immediately trampled by torg, riff, and the entire Keeping-the-Plastic-Surgeons-in-Business Association... And then immediately trampled again... and then, just to ice the cake with a layer of frozen Zoe blood, she get's meated by Bun-Bun again... as her INTRODUCTION!
** But that's not even the worst of it. Since then she has been [[spoiler:cursed, had said curse abused for laughs, chased by a psycho unkillable mind controlled gymnastic super assassin that wants to kill her over a love triangle Zoe has no active part in, had her best friend be possessed by a demon, had her first romantic interest in the comic gorily killed by devil-cats right in front of her, oh yeah... had to run for her life from said devil-cats, teleported back in time and forced to act out a prophecy to kill aforementioned demon, is now hunted by demons world wide, kidnapped to be experimented on, given the mother of all meddling mothers, nearly loses her family to keep her job, ostracized by her friends also because of job, other-dimension widowed, other-dimension killed by a different set of demons, kidnapped by Russian mobsters (who thought she was a camel), and (because the author apparently wasn't satisfied with everything up to that point) burned to death in roughly a billion different dimensions at the same time.]] I'm sure I missed a few... dozen.
*** At which point, when it was revealed [[spoiler:that she was actually alive but worse than brain dead...]] it was somehow still an improvement.
* Rick from BasicInstructions almost borders on CosmicPlaything, the way the universe and everyone has it in to make sure he's never happy. Even his best friend insults him quite often.
* Greg from ''Webcomic/{{Greg}}'', has had it so bad, that he considers [[http://gregcomic.com/2011/12/05/storyline-a-silver-lining-part-4/ stepping on dog poop]] a considerable improvement over the events that occur in his life.
* Igor in ''{{Vinigortonio}}''. If something bad's gonna happen, it's bound to happen to him, and it becomes even worse when he finds out the leader of an evil organization needs to destroy his building in order to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]].
* Estonia from ScandinaviaAndTheWorld
* Efengi from ''Webcomic/TheSnailFactory'' is constantly put through various types of torment and nearly fatal disfigurement. He may also be considered a [[TheChewToy chew toy]], depending on how you look at it.
* Cucumber in ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'' will never have his way.
* In ''{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3064 Slick gets hit with a Satan-caused one.]]
* Wayne of ''Webcomic/TwoGuysAndGuy'' is the frequent victim of his ''Main/ComedicSociopath'' friends, and the world in general.
* In CaptainSNES, Alex gets this treatment. Enough so that he recognizes as such and wonders if the whole of Videoland isn't out to get him somehow.
--> '''Alex:''' I've noticed something recently. I don't know precisely how to put it. Whenever I'm about to accomplish something, or to defeat something, or to accomplish something great, something ends up messing it up. Like when I went to shoot Kain, or when I went to open the last treasure chest up.... It's like.... It's like someone or something is conspiring against me... Making things harder for me, on purpose. It's like Videoland is trying to...well, mock me.
--> '''Bob:''' Are you sure you're not just being paranoid?
--> '''Manual:''' You've got the book (again!) What wondrous powers have you failed to unlock you stupid, stupid boy?
--> '''Alex:''' Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
--> '''Bob:''' Right. My bad.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shameless}}'': Cosmos one-through-six seem to look down on Seven. They spend an [[http://cosmic-angel-raine.deviantart.com/art/Origen-pg-2-349346764 entire page]] talking about how they don't think she will wake up, and basically calling her useless.
* In ''MSPaintMasterpieces'', we have [[strike: Polka]] Reset Man who started out half built and, an hour later, half of the rest destroyed and it all went down hill from there.
* ''{{Webcomic/Matchu}}'' has Matchu and Amber, StarCrossedLovers who can't get near each other without something bad happening. The one time Amber actually acknowledges Matchu's presence, ''a UFO lands on top of him mid-sentence.''
