* In most incarnations of ''BlackAdder'', the title character heavily abuses Baldrick, often in frustration at his mistreatment at the hands of his own higher power (often a monarch). He lampshaded this "Dog Kicks Littler Dog" scenario in the third installment.
--> ''*Blackadder kicks a cat across the room*''
--> '''Baldrick:''' Oh sir, poor little Mildred the cat, what's she ever done to you? 
--> '''Blackadder:''' It is the way of the world Baldrick, the abused always kick downwards: I'm annoyed, and so I kick the cat, the cat (mouse squeaks) pounces on the mouse, and finally the mouse... 
--> '''Baldrick:''' *jumps in pain* 
--> '''Blackadder:''' ...bites you on the behind. 
--> '''Baldrick:''' And what do I do? 
--> '''Blackadder:''' Nothing, you are last in God's great chain Baldrick. Unless of course there's an earwig around here that you'd like to victimize.
* In ''TheDreamstone'', {{Elite Mook}}s Urpgor and Sgt Blob are often shown ordering about and abusing lower Urpneys, something that makes some sense given they are most often at the brunt of [[BigBad Zordrak's]] horrible temper.
