* ''My Friend's Abnormally Cute Sister'' has Mizuki, the sister in question. She has an incestuous crush on her older sister Momo, causing her to [[StalkerWithACrush stalk Momo]], steal her underwear and nightgowns, get jealous of any potential romantic rivals, and manipulate Momo's friend Yanagi(who has a crush on Mizuki) into helping her get close to Momo. Not only is she a rather over-the-top {{Yandere}}, but she's also devoid of common sense, as she doesn't realize that Momo thinks Mizuki hates her due to Mizuki avoiding her. Yanagi isn't much better, as while she does make a token effort to protest Mizuki's extreme actions, she goes along with her plans in hopes of getting a "reward" from her crush Mizuki.

*''Anime/{{Daltanious}}": In line with Daltanious' DenserAndWackier setting, Kento is more selfish and childlike compared to his predecessors in the Anime/RobotRomanceTrilogy. He doesn't take his mission seriously, often argues with his friends, refuses to see other people's perspectives, smacks little children and CantTakeCriticism. While EveryoneHasStandards and [[spoiler:he refuses to take Kloppen as a hostage when the Zaal betray him]], he's still an impulsive dim-wit who needs a lot of CharacterDevelopment to properly become the Galaxy's IconOfRebellion through the titular SuperRobot.

* ''Film/LostInAmerica'' has married couple David and Linda as the protagonists in this role, as their own foolish choices leave them in poverty after their JourneyToFindOneself turns out to be [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome a lot harder than they were expecting it to be]]. David is a shallow yuppie who blows up at work when [[PassedOverPromotion he doesn't get a promotion he feels he's owed,]] and flushes his career down the toilet as a result. Linda gambles away their entire nest egg that they got from liquidating their assets. Were these good and decent people, this entire story would play out like a tragedy. But they're also rather rude to everyone else, try zany schemes to get what they want, try and bribe people into doing what they want when things don't work out, and continuously make things worse for themselves through their own characters faults. That way, the audience can laugh at their pain.

* Harry Flashman, the "hero" of a series of historical novels by Creator/GeorgeMacDonaldFraser. Outwardly, ''Literature/{{Flashman}}'' appears to be a stereotypical Victorian hero.

In addition, all of his plans are utterly stupid, and Kato (his sidekick) is the smarter one. The duo even gets into a fight over it and split up for a while. He's so dumb that as he sits there piecing together the villains' plan (after it has basically been spelled out for him), the villain asks if he's ok because apparently, he was just staring into space with a pained look on his face for a good 30 seconds.

Rude, bratty, spoiled rotten teenage girldom at it's finest and you'd better believe the author knows this and plays it up. Massie is an especially good example; she once justified her maid cleaning and refurbishing her private clubhouse (for free!) because the maid had to enjoy it, as "why else would she choose cleaning as her profession?"

* Memetchi & Kuchipatchi from Anime/{{Tamagotchi}} are a child-friendly and downplayed version of this, the former is very bossy and can be argumentative towards her friends, while the latter is a dimwitted glutton whose stupidity & {{greed}} often get the better of him, they are still pretty friendly overall though.
* Reimu from ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' is already said to be lazy, but in ''Manga/TouhouIbarakasenWildAndHornedHermit'' we see much more of her bad side. She frequently neglects her shrine maiden duties, preferring to engage in various get-rich-quick schemes instead. And because she's lazy, these schemes are often poorly thought out, and often backfired on her popularity at the end. This contrasts her portrayal in ''Manga/TouhouSuzunaanForbiddenScrollery'', where she's often on-duty and her competent side is shown more.

** [[MoonRabbit Reisen Udongein Inaba]] is another character who has this unusual dichotomy going on. A lot of the time when she appears, she's antisocial and engages in rather arrogant CulturalPosturing, with WordOfGod even saying that she's '''not''' a good person, just good at acting the way people expect her to. As a result, the abuse she endures from her superiors (punishments from her mentor Eirin and severe pranking from Tewi) come off as karma. However, in stories where she's the central character like ''[[Manga/TouhouBougetsushou Inaba of the Moon & Inaba of the Earth]]'' and ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'', her primary character traits are being a BeleagueredAssistant and OnlySaneWoman, meaning the aforementioned abuse makes her TheWoobie instead. And even this may be changing as of ''[=LoLK=]'', where thanks to CharacterDevelopment she's lost a lot of her earlier arrogance and even refers to herself as "an Earth Rabbit who came from the Moon" rather than a Moon Rabbit.

Although some of the setbacks she encounters, such as losing a great job, are not her fault, most of the problems in her life result from her immaturity, irresponsibility, and constant drunkenness. Occasionally lampshaded in the comic by different characters, mainly her friend/former boss Clarice, and ex-boyfriend Zach.
* Rayne from ''WebComic/LeastICouldDo'', in spades. The character is incredibly rude, selfish and arrogant, yet is held up to be the object of admiration for men and a sex god for women. The typical storyline is 90% Rayne trying to bed hot girls, live out his GaryStu fantasies, and/or insulting his friends, and 10% him "being awesome", which usually involves getting the cast out of sticky situations that he got them into in the first place. While he does have some redeeming traits (like unconditional love for his niece Ashley) these only tend to crop up in AuthorsSavingThrow moments just when the audience is wondering why nobody's shot the asshole yet.

However, main character Kazuma Satou is the best example of the four of them. A self-described {{NEET}}, Kazuma would rather spin a good line of bullshit and laze about doing nothing than go out and fight against the Devil King or his army. Which makes it all the funnier when things blow up in his face or force him to fight when he doesn't want to. While Kazuma does get a few PetTheDog moments to show that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, there's one moment of that for every twenty moments that he's screaming at his teammates, getting the stuffing beat out of him, or getting utterly humiliated by someone.
