AnimeAndManga: In ''Naruto'', Deidara wants everybody to appreciate his art, which involves blowing up large amounts of people.

VideoGames: In ''SonicRiders'', Dr. Eggman nabs all of the Chaos Emeralds (one of the rare instances he succeeds), levitates a hidden ancient city, and manipulates Sonic into destroying its guardian--and receives a carpet for his trouble. [[spoiler:It's actually a flying carpet. Either way, Eggman has no use for such a thing and just hands it over to Jet the Hawk, the only one in the room who actually wants it.]]

WesternAnimation:
* In ''TheSimpsons'', a group of Springfield's top chefs conspired to kill Homer in "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner" out of revenge for having written negative reviews about their food.
* The villain in the ''SouthPark'' episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" is a {{Griefer}} over ''WorldOfWarcraft''. The boys gathered their efforts to defeat him--they ultimately succeeded, but the episode portrayed this as totally meaningless (including to the griefer).
* Another ''Kim Possible'' example: Frugal Lucre's first scheme, in the episode with the same name, was to prove that one could be as big a threat as any high profile villain without having to pay the large sums they do. He succeeded--he gave Kim and Ron as much trouble as any other member of their rogues gallery spending less than $100.
