2/10 In most cases, it's not justified.

6/10. Playing it completely straight is a double-edged sword, but in a Quirky Work, it's more effective.
Emasculated Cuckold Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.

3/10, it's not a trope I like, to be honest.
"My swimsuit fits me well, right?" - Cynthia
5/10. A double-edge sword. It's either an effective tearjerker or just plain cruel.

9/10 Nice interpretation.
Intended to embody the Beware of Vicious Dog trope plus Super-Speed. Yup.

Oh no! The DREADED AQUAE MORTIS! No, wait, it's just your imagination.
Bitter hatred
8/10 if they're a villain, as it's cathartic when they lose.

4/10. It can be just mean-spirited and makes me feel very bad for the person that everyone dislikes, even if they're somewhat of a jerk.

The one called "Acid" is dead, but I don't know how to change my username.
