Laser Guided Karma / Total Drama

Go To

In this series, every antagonist ends up suffering from this, which always leads to a Humiliation Conga. Each one is almost always worst than the last.


  • In Island, Heather bullies Lindsay and at one point threatens to cut off her hair. In the episode "I Triple Dog Dare You" the dare Lindsay created was for the person to be shaved bald, resulting in Heather losing almost all her hair—also, since Heather didn't technically accept the dare, she finally gets eliminated (and thus has no chance of winning the show's cash prize).
  • In the Action episode "Princess Pride" Justin gets rejected by Courtney, pushed off of the tower by her and getting hit by parts of the tower on the way down. When Justin is eliminated, no one really cares to see him go.
    • Also in "Top Dog" Courtney loses her PDA, gets eliminated by Duncan for being so uptight, and loses her trust on her lawyers and her future documents in the exclusive clip.
  • Blaineley spends most of the Aftermath segments of World Tour throwing a fit because she lost her old job by butting into Total Drama, and then trying to stay relevant by exploiting Geoff and Bridgette's relationship troubles for ratings. Eventually, she kidnaps Bridgette and strands her in the Siberian wilderness to steal her co-host job, at which point, the gloves come off. Geoff tricks her into getting admitted into the competition, where she only lasts two episodes before Chris shoves her out the plane, and she fails to secure her parachute and ends up in a full-body cast. When she comes back, the rest of the cast laughs at her, she gets forced to complete a challenge for Heather's benefit, Owen accidentally drops her on her face several times, uses her as a surfboard, and sends her flying into the ocean. She gets saved by Bruno the bear, who uses her as a literal chew toy afterward.
  • The World Tour finale, Hawaiian Punch:
    • Alejandro suffers this in this episode: After manipulating most of the female cast for most of the season, he falls in love with Heather....who tricks him into holding off his victory and kneeing him in the balls before pushing him down a mountain. He suffers the same fate he inflicted on all his victims. And regardless of whether Heather goes on to achieve victory or inadvertently allows Alejandro to steal the win, Alejandro gets trampled and then burned alive under an avalanche of molten lava. He's singed to a crisp and still alive, but still, he lost the million dollars because a now-feral Ezekiel stole the case before falling into the volcano with it.
    • Presumably as punishments for both being jerks, the money is burned in the lava, with neither Heather nor Alejandro getting to keep it.
  • In Revenge of the Island episode "Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon", Lightning, whom Jo had played like a fiddle, encourages Cameron to not let Jo do the same to him. And so Cameron finally fights back, blowing up the smoke device Jo had taken from him earlier and ending her chance at the present challenge. That evening, he and Lightning vote together to get Jo eliminated. Jo's angry at both, but takes her loss in stride in regards to Cameron when he reminds her he learned from the best (ie, from Jo).
  • In Revenge of the Island episode "Eat, Puke, and Be Wary" Scott gets catapulted off the island with Fang, who mauls him to the point where he gets the Captain Pike treatment.
  • In the same season's finale episode "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown", Chris finally gets the ultimate punishment when the government arrests him for turning Wawanakwa Island into an environmental disaster in Revenge of the Island.
  • The only karma Sugar ever got for her elimination in Pahkitew Island was getting eliminated for her horrible singing in "Pahk'd With Talent". Ironically, she played a part in getting Ella eliminated by stating that she sang.
  • In Part 1 of the "2023 Reboot", Emma gets a grudge on Bowie for causing Chase's elimination in "The Truth, The Pole Truth and Nothing But the Truth" and tries to sabotage him during "Tortoise Rigamortis". This ironically makes her the bigger threat, leading to her being eliminated instead.
  • In Part 2 of the 2023 Reboot, Julia getting a Traumatic Haircut when the raptor she insulted in "Jurassic Fart" chomped on and ripped her hair out, leaving her a sobbing mess.

Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race

  • The good kind happens to Geoff and Brody in The Ridonculous Race. After sparing Carrie and Devin in Vietnam, the former picks Geoff and Brody to replace them in the final four, after Devin sustained severe injuries in Argentina. In the following episode, Geoff and Brody promise to split the money 25/25/25/25 with Carrie and Devin if they win.
