"Oh my god, has anyone ever told you this whole nasty demon bullshit gets really old really fucking fast? I mean seriously, you're evil, we get it, can you please just shut the fuck up?"

    Fan Works 
Shunryu: You Monster! I can't believe someone like you could actually get a Cloth!
Deathmask: Please, no morality lesson.
Shunryu: No, seriously, why did they give you a Gold Cloth? Your name is Deathmask, you decorate your house with corpses, and your attack is called Hades Wave. Are those who give these armors stupid or something?

Ikki: Why does someone like you serve someone as malevolent as the Great Pope?
Shaka: Oh, so just because he terrorizes men and women, wears a creepy mask and ends all his sentences with a sardonic laugh, that makes him evil? [Beat] Well, sure, when you put it that way... Oh, forget it!

For the past whatever, a very seductive voice had been telling Susan to focus all of her attention on the golden pocket watch that had been swinging back and forth in front of her face. A seductive voice that belonged to a shady-looking man swinging the watch in one hand, and reading from a book in another. He had a twisted mustache, black top hat, black tuxedo, black bowtie, black pair of dress pants, and black cape with red underneath. In addition, that book looked like a legit spellbook. All these things make him seem like a cliché supervillain straight from a melodramatic silent movie. It was clear that this man was bad news.

"This one is trying to sound sexy. It's talking to me with all the breathy, sultry tones of some wannabe vixen and doesn't get that talking about disembowelment in that kind of voice is one of the least sexy things out there."

Warren: The way I see it, Señor Bob, is whoever is working with her ain't who they say they is, and if it's you, then Minnie and her man ain't at her mama's. They laying out back there dead somewhere. Or if it's you, little British man, the real Oswaldo Mobray's laying in a ditch somewhere and you're just an English fella passin' off his papers.
Mannix: Or we go by my theory, which is the ugliest guy did it... which makes it you, Joe Gage!

"They literally call themselves "Decepticons"! That doesn't set off any red flags?"
Agent Burns, Bumblebee

    Literature 
"You figure that out all by yourself? The God of Evil is evil?"

There, standing on top of the gate with legs wide, one fist pointed skyways and one clinging to a nearby pillar for for stability, was a cackling silhouette. A bolt of lightning set alight a circle of fuel, obviously prepared beforehand, and a fire quickly rose around his perch.
"Rise my hordes of darkness!" he shrieked, then he did that laugh thing again. With the firelight, I could now make out his features. He was very tall and very thin, with the body and skin tone of one who has placed far too many pieces of his soul in far too many evil magic artifacts. He had tried to disguise his skinny build with a thickly padded black cloak and a pair of spiked shoulder pads the size of watermelons. Framing his sunken face was an ornate obsidian helmet, carved somewhat predictably into the shape of an angry fanged skull. In addition to all that, he was addressing a bunch of dead guys, so he might as well have been wearing a sash with "NECROMANCER" writ big.

Moriarty: You're just getting that now?

Daniel Jackson: Anubis?
Jack O'Neill: Yeah. Kind of an over-the-top cliche bad guy. Black cloak, oily skin. Kind of spooky.

Alex: We need to focus on Evilini. I don't know if you've noticed but she's evil!
Justin: No her name is "Evilini."
Alex: How much clearer could it be?
Justin: Ok, if she was really evil, don't you think she would've changed her name to "Really-friendly-ini" or "Nice-ini" or "Totally-not-evil...ini."

"...Okay, no, he's totally a bad guy. Is that a spoiler? I don't think it's a spoiler. Look at that thing. It probably ate a puppy for breakfast right before it burned down an orphanage and talked loudly on a cell phone at a restaurant."

    Web Original 

"I'm not so sure why everyone thinks allying with this newcomer is such a great idea, though. Calling your faction "The Shadow Runners" and having a big skull for an emblem isn't exactly reassuring. I mean, come on... were any of the Autobots honestly surprised when the Decepticons betrayed them?"

"Let's see; mad scientist, mustache... nope, I'm definitely the bad guy."
Dr. Eggman, Dorkly Originals, "Robotnik Finally Wins"

Boy, you're talking like someone who's about to have a bat with spikes up the side of the head."

"Darth (Maul) wears black boots, a black cloak, a black shirt, has a red lightsaber, wears red and black face paint, and has horns. He is EVIL."

"He's probably a pretty nice guy! After all, Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light, and Zeta looks downright friggin' evil. Is that masked, horned face the face of someone who would torture and brainwash the dissidents and suck fuel from his own citizens to fuel his army? Totally! So if he were actually bad, he'd probably try to hide it a little, don't you think?"
TFWiki.net mocking Zeta Prime for this trope.

Dr. Wily: There's nothing wrong with having personal branding, now is there?

"But a real well-rounded bad guy can find all kinds of reasons to fight for good. Maybe they realized their villainous motivation was pretty lame compared to the heroes', maybe they had a fundamental change of heart, maybe they woke up one morning and realized a military uniform that incorporates a skull might not belong to the armies of good — their mind is your playground, and there are so many possibilities."

"This guy's name is Judge Doom? Do you think he's related to Doctor Doom? When the people of this movie find out he's the bad guy, do you think they might wonder how they missed all the signs; the black outfit, the spectacles, the cane, the name, and the inherent evil?"
Jeremy Scott of CinemaSins on Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Narrator: The Stepmother's true nature was revealed...

Lysanderoth: [with Kuja's Theme playing in the background] This world is imperfect.
Dennis: What?
Lysanderoth: If only I could wipe away the impurities...
Dennis: Is anybody else listening to this?
Lysanderoth: ...and make it as beautiful as me!
[14 hours of gameplay later]
Sonia-Rica: Lysanderoth! You were behind all this!
Lysanderoth: Yes, it was I! My machinations lay undetected for years, for I'm a master of deception!
[Dennis gives a Disapproving Look as Lysanderoth gloats]

"But this time, things are looking up for Barry [in the mayoral elections], because there's a new face nobody's ever seen before and he's even worse. His name is Dante. Where other candidates make concrete promises over what they'll give you, like 25% more bank interest or 35% more pet experience, Dante promises nothing except that he'll 'establish order' and 'strengthen security'. When interviewed, all he says is 'I will stabilize this rapidly declining system, permanently'. Welp, looks like Barry won't be last place this time! I mean, this guy is so transparently evil there’s no way anyone would ever- aaaaand he's got 91% of the vote."

"Who builds a Bone Temple and thinks 'Yeah, we're the good guys', right?"

Grenier:The villain!
The villain!

He dresses all in black, he's the villain, did you get it already?
Joueur du Grenier, singing along the music of the The Prince of Tennis live-action film.

(same music as the previous quote, without the sung-along lyrics)
Grenier: (laughs) Okay, wait, I think it's still not obvious enough that it's the evil guys' lair. I suggest we add flames, glasses of blood on the table, a Balkany portraitnote , Joffrey and Frieza in the background, and that we put it all in Youtube's trending tab!
Joueur du Grenier about Red Skull's lair in Captain America (1990).

Palpatine: Anakin… help me!
Anakin: He must face trial! It's the Jedi way!
Mace Windu: He's too dangerous to be left alive! This must be done!
Anakin: I need him!
(Beat)
Mace Windu: …Why? Why do you need him?
Anakin: It's a long story, okay—
Mace Windu: It's about Padmé, right? You flew here on a fucking spaceship and didn't think we had security cameras?
Anakin: Look, I've just been having these dreams, all right? These— she dies! And the Senator says there's a way to save her.
Mace Windu: And you believed him!?
Anakin: He said it was some Sith magic. Eternal life—
Mace Windu: That's. Not. Real. He's bullshitting you, Skywalker!
Palpatine: Whaaat? No, what, this guy's nuts.
Mace Windu: Anakin, if he truly knew whatever it was about eternal life, then why stop me? I mean, I couldn't kill him if I tried, right?
Anakin: He's right…
Palpatine: Of course I can do my magic thing, I just, y'know, I just don't feel like—
Mace Windu: Really.
Palpatine: Yup.
Mace Windu: You don't feel like what, living!?

Finn: It means he's evil, I guess.

Finn: I can't shake this weird feeling about Ricardio. I think he's... a villain!
Jake: Why? Is it because his face is so foldy and dramatic?

Salesman: Supervillains, am I right?
Drakken: Is it the blue skin? Because I get that a lot.

Gary: By the way, I forgot your name, Mister...?
Stevil: Stevil.
Gary: Whoah-whoah-whoah, pump the breaks. Okay, freakin' guy has "evil" in his name. I'm not handing Mooncake over to a guy freakin' named Stevil.
Avacado: Stevil is a bit alarming.
