* Wrestling/DominikMysterio is perhaps the most notable example in recent memory after his FaceHeelTurn at ''Clash of the Castle'', betraying his father Wrestling/ReyMysterio and HonoraryUncle Wrestling/{{Edge}} in favor of the heel faction the Judgement Day (Wrestling/FinnBalor, Wrestling/RheaRipley, and Damian Priest). He has seemingly gone out of his way to break off the heat knob with typical chickenshit heel tactics and showing as much gross disrespect to [[Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr his father]] and [[MaskedLuchador his family's traditions]] as much as conceivably possible, generating nuclear heat wherever he went. By the time ''Wrestling/WrestleMania'' season was over, he was generating so much heat that he couldn't even ''speak'' without entire crowds trying to boo him out of the arena.

* In ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'', Molly Blyndeff's living family members both contribute to making her life a living hell, making the viewer cheer for whoever deals them their comeuppance:
** Molly's father Martin is a {{deconstructed}} ManChild, whose immaturity makes him [[ParentalNeglect neglectful to the point of abuse]]. He runs a toy store, which he hardly puts any work into keeping afloat, and he spends most of his earnings on frivolous knick-knacks to the point where he doesn't have enough left to properly feed his daughters. As a result, Molly, who's ''12'', had to [[WiseBeyondTheirYears learn how to cook, run a store, and file taxes all on her own]] just to keep the place afloat. He barely even cares about Molly, with the first episode's plot being kicked off when he forgets to pick her up from a field trip, leaving her alone in a closing museum at night, and in ''Literature/EpithetErasedPrisonOfPlastic'', [[spoiler:when Giovanni threatens to steal "the most valuable thing" from him, Martin doesn't even consider that this could be referring to his daughters]]. In that book's ending, the audience is meant to cheer when [[spoiler:Giovanni "[[TheKindnapper abducts]]" Molly (read: takes her away from Martin's abuse so she can actually get some good food and sleep at his friend's house)]].
** Lorelai is almost as bad as her father. She's the Foolish half of a FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling with Molly: thanks to her power to create [[PocketDimension Dream Bubbles]], she spends all day living out fantasy scenarios instead of helping her younger sister deal with the stress that Martin piles up on her. She also has a strong attitude that [[ItsAllAboutMe everything revolves around her]]: she kicks off the plot of ''Prison of Plastic'' by abducting Giovanni after falling in LoveAtFirstSight with him, and she viciously snaps at Molly when she finally gets the backbone to suggest that maybe Lorelai could help out around the store sometimes. The result is that much of Lorelai's appeal as a character comes from wanting to see her get called out, defeated, and humbled. However, despite all of this, she's ultimately a {{subversion}}: while she is indeed utterly detestable for much of the book, she later earns a few sympathy points when it's revealed that she only became this selfish {{Jerkass}} due to the trauma of losing her mother, as well as [[spoiler:the guilt of believing she may have been responsible for it in a case of PowerIncontinence]]. While it's still ''very'' satisfying when Lorelai finally gets what's coming to her, [[spoiler:the possibility of her redeeming herself in a future story is put on the table afterwards]].

** Kaspar Blankenheim, a one-off character from the Sloth arc of the SevenDeadlySins series. While most villains in the series are either sympathetic, likable enough that you can actually find ''something'' enjoyable about them or some combination of the two, Kaspar is entirely unpleasant. He's greedy, self-centered, viewed his own wife, Margarita, as both a [[TrophyWife status symbol]] and a [[GoldDigger meal-ticket]] and on top of that, ''openly cheats on her'' without caring about her feelings on the matter. Needless to say, you ''won't'' feel sympathy for him when [[MasterPoisoner Margarita]] kills him.

* Music/{{Macabre}} has too many to list, their songs having covered some of the most disgusting killers in human history. A few specific examples would be Albert Fish, who raped, killed, and devoured many children, Gary Heidnick, who turned woman into {{sex slave}}s and fed them the meat of his past victims, and Peter Stumpp, who was a cannibalistic SerialKiller who molested his own daughter and ate their new-born son.

* Myth/ClassicalMythology: [[BloodKnight Ares]] was essentially WarIsHell personified, viewed by the Greeks as bloodthirsty, petty, cruel and often [[SoreLoser downright whiny]]. He was violent and barbaric, finding no greater joy than destroying his foes in battle and extremely arrogant, having no strategizing skills whilst still expecting to win the war himself. The other gods detested Ares, with his mother Hera being embarrassed by him, his father Zeus giving him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech after refusing to heal his wounds, his lover Aphrodite only liking him for his looks and fellow war god Athena one-upping him at every turn. The Greeks themselves viewed Ares as a stupid, violent thug with no redeeming qualities beyond his [[PetTheDog fondness for his mother and daughters]], and no Greek city wanted him to be their patron deity.
* Haman the Agagite, from the Literature/BookOfEsther, is one of the [[OlderThanFeudalism oldest]] examples of a character whom is supposed to be despised by the audience (due to being a narcissist and genocidal racist), and is one of the rare examples with religious significance. It is to the point that, during Purim (a feast where the story of Esther is retold), it is customary to cover up Haman's name by making a lot of noise whenever his name is uttered.
* Apep/Apophis in Myth/EgyptianMythology stands out for being one of the few gods the ancient Egyptians ''never'' worshiped - which makes sense as Apep was a GodOfEvil, an OmnicidalManiac, an EldritchAbomination, and pretty much the BigBad of Egyptian religion. The closest thing to 'worship' he recieved is priests burning effigies of him and spitting or stepping on figurines of him. It was common for Egyptians to pray for Apep's destruction at the hands of Ra.

* Another CMLL tecnico fans despised was Rush, whom CMLL only continued to [[CharacterAlignment officially designate]] as a tecnico at Rush's own insistence. Rather than try to "correct" the response, though, CMLL would do all in its power to make Rush hated, making him a TokenEvilTeammate to Maximo Sexy, La Sombra, La Mascara and such. When La Sombra and La Mascara began to receive similar reactions, they ended up joining with Rush in the wildcard stable Los Ingobernables, who claimed to simply be a different style of tecnicos and refused to align with other rudos, being likely to feud with both tecnicos and rudos depending on the need at the time. Ultimately the Los Ingobernables name would be much better known for their offshoot ''[[Wrestling/LosIngobernablesDeJapon de Japon]]'' courtesy of a Japanese member who they took on during his excursion after having trouble with his host nation's fans.

When Godzilla reaches San Francisco,, Pike opts for a nuclear attack; when told that it would result in ''more'' damage than Godzilla would cause across the cost, Pike simply states that [[AMillionIsAStatistic be an acceptable loss of life]]. When Godzilla faces the Gryphon in New York, Pike mans an helicopter, destroying the Empire State Building to trap the monsters. When asked about the civilian casualties, Pike dismissively says they’ll build a monument to them, before turning on and firing upon his allies when they try to free Godzilla.

** Sigvald the Magnificent is the [[TheFightingNarcissist narcissistic]] Geld-Prince of Slaanesh. Murdering his own father after being exiled for [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], Sigvald eventually made a deal with the God Slaanesh to gain great power and sword skill. Sigvald goes on a brutal rampage against anyone he does not consider attractive enough for his tastes, nailing porcelain masks to the faces of two of his wives, and abandoning the third to die. Sigvald also goes after the High Elves out of jealousy and refuses to allow his soldiers to retreat, growing a massive body count of his own men. In the end, after being forced to retreat, he bullies the troll Throgg and dies in humiliating fashion.

** Herman Von Strab the former Overlord of Armageddon and biggest waste of flesh in the last 500 years. A GeneralFailure to eclipse all others due to his {{Pride}} and TooDumbToLive tendencies. Despite the Orks being the main antagonists he repeatedly sends his men to pointless deaths and refused aide to his (seemingly) loyal subordinate city governors just to make a point that he is in charge. He has tired multiple times to kill [[TheHero Commissar Yarrick]] for trying to salvage the mess he’s put in, and he may have killed Manneheim’s predecessor for offending him. And in a amazing display of his infinite wisdom launches [[PlanetKiller Planet Killers]] on his home world as a quick solution which [[EpicFail worked wonderfully in the ork’s favor]]. Somehow he manages to one up all of that by [[TheQuisling joining the orks to launch another invasion on his home world]] while he forms an army of loyal idiots to take the planet for himself. He goes in full [[TheCaligula Caligula]] with debaucherous parties and volcano sacrifices to distract how even the [[DudeWheresMyRespect orks don’t give a damn about him]]. In one Apocalypse Game scenario which is the only time he’s playable, but doesn’t have a official model, he gets only one rule which is that Imperium players benefit from his death.

** Dring the Literature/HorusHeresy, chaplain Erebus of the Word Bearers served as one of the most loathsome figures.

He orchestrated the Horus Heresy by [[TheCorrupter leading Horus and Lorgar down the path of darkness]]. The horrible, {{crapsack|World}} state of the 40k galaxy is pretty much all his fault, and he shows no remorse.

* Mary from ''Theatre/TheChildrensHour'' is only a little girl but [[EnfantTerrible what a terrible little girl]] she is. She spreads MaliciousSlander about her school teachers about how they're in a lesbian affair. Considering the time period this takes place in, this ends very badly. On top of that, she blackmails one of her classmates, physically harms said classmate, acts like a SpoiledBrat and is constantly lying.

* ''Theatre/TheCrucible'' (1996): Abigail Williams is a teenage girl in Puritan Massachusetts who had an affair with the much older John Proctor. When he realized what he was doing, he dumped Abigail, causing her to attempt a ritual to kill his wife. When she and her friends are caught, they blame a slave woman, causing her to be hanged. To keep the lie going, Abigail bullies her friends into helping her accuse more people of witchcraft, starting the Salem Witch Trials in the process. [[spoiler:After John Proctor himself is accused, Abigail offers to bust him out of jail so they can run away together, but coldly leaves him to die when he refuses.]]

Herod, who is only really in one scene, by contrast just wants to protect his power and [[TheHedonist copious amounts of stuff]], and spends most of his stage-time gleefully taunting Jesus, who is unwilling to fight back, before declaring Him a phony and shipping Him off to be executed. Much like the Thenardiers, however, Herod's [[EvilIsHammy scenery-chomping]] VillainSong is one of the few funny things in the show.

He repeatedly [[KickTheDog slanders and insults]] an innocent victim even while she's at her lowest.

** Camilla from the ''Bowser's Koopalings'' series has always been an unpleasant girl who thinks she is [[AlphaBitch above everyone]], but her really bad side didn't emerge until she tricked Wendy, someone who considered her one of her best friends, to eat a lot of food so she can gain weight so that Travis would dump her out of disgust and start dating her instead of Wendy. Think that's not bad enough? Well, she later starts pulling nasty pranks on Wendy in an attempt to get her to break up with Travis, such as putting a poisonous snake in the castles bathroom and stealing all of Wendy's possessions while she's asleep and selling ''them all online''. Once Travis finds out about what Camilla has done, he is absolutely disgusted and decides that he doesn't want anything to do with her.

It's worth pointing in this case, however, that this sometimes doesn't work and the opposite happens, with the intended Hate Sink being UnintentionallySympathetic while the other characters become Hate Sinks themselves. This is especially noticeable in the typical character dynamic between WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}} and his dad, the latter of whom has more qualities of this trope than the intended Hate Sink Caillou. Boris's typical portrayal is that of a borderline AxCrazy [[AbusiveParents abusive dad]] who grounds, punishes or even murders Caillou at the slightest provocation without getting in trouble for it himself. Because of this, videos depicting Boris getting his comeuppance for his actions have become very common.
* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' gives us Disco Bear. While he worked too well, as the creators themselves used to dislike Disco Bear, one could that his obnoxious behavior and selfish personality is at least partially intentional, as the majority of his deaths are either LaserGuidedKarma or a KarmicDeath.

** Katie Killjoy, one of the news anchors for 666 News, shows in the video clip provided in the main page and the pilot episode is a perfect depiction as to how much easy it is for the audience to passionately ''loathe'' her. In her first encounter with Charlie, she behaves in a rather supercilious manner, using her opulence as the reason why she dislikes being around Charlie and threatening to ''bury'' her. She's also generally snobby, arrogant, abusive, and extremely homophobic. It all makes it very easy for the audience to root for Charlie over her.

* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': The Universe 16 version of Bra is the prodigious daughter of [[WorldsStrongestMan Vegito]]. But beneath her power and status is a rather pathetic PsychopathicWomanchild who sees the tournament as a school playground for her to be TheBully. Throughout all her appearances, she is rude, abrasive, and constantly trash-talks her friends, allies, families and enemies alike simply for not being as strong as her or her father. And for all Bra's smugness and pride in her strength and Saiyan heritage, she shows no qualms cheating such as using Senzu beans if she's actually on the losing end of a fight, something that pure-blooded Saiyans like Vegeta show scorn for. This comes off as [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritical]] considering that she looks down on other fighters if ''[[DoubleStandard they]]'' [[DoubleStandard weren't playing fair]]. Her only redeeming traits were her love for her niece and brother. [[spoiler:Once she becomes a Majin, however, even that goes out the window when she gleefully murders Gohan by cutting him in half with no remorse. To top it all off, her descent into evil was simply because she hated protecting those she sees as weak and were thus unworthy of living]]. In a series filled with psychopaths, galactic conquerors, and outright {{Jerkass}}es, Son Bra easily comes off as the most detestable of the lot despite her being on the side of good.
* While ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' officially has no BigBad, Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen is the closest fit with most of the strife in the story resulting from her machinations. Despite this, she's largely a behind-the-scenes player who keeps up a friendly veneer in public and can seem downright reasonable until she finally starts letting her MaskOfSanity slip in a later story arc. Kalki [[spoiler:her daughter]], on the other hand, is openly antagonistic from the moment she's introduced, and one of the first things she does on panel is [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=4295 kill one of the more sympathetic characters with a dirty trick]] in front of his mother and entire family. And that's not even touching on her later actions, which include stabbing her sister's hand into the table to make her stay, chopping off her arm seconds later and going for a thrill kill against some unfortunate guests in the middle of her own home being attacked by actual invaders, which establish her as firmly AxCrazy compared to Snadhya'rune's refined manipulations. [[spoiler:Ironically enough, the two of them switch roles in the end when Snadhya murdered Kalki in cold blood after growing weary of her behavior. AlasPoorVillain indeed.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', Phil and Kaja Foglio evidently originally envisionsed first Gil and then Tarvek as villains, but both became much more sympathetic, and so they created Tarvek's cousin Martellus "Tweedle" von Blitzengaard, a brutal arrogant oaf who kidnaps heroine Agatha and poisons her so that she can't survive without his physical touch. (She [[ScienceHero of course]] finds a way around it.) All that said, Tweedle isn't ''completely'' loathsome; at the very least, he's no coward.

But beneath her power and status is a rather pathetic PsychopathicWomanchild who sees the tournament as a school playground for her to be TheBully. Throughout all her appearances, she is rude, abrasive, and constantly trash-talks her friends, allies, families families, and enemies alike simply for not being as strong as her or her father. And for all Bra's smugness and pride in her strength and Saiyan heritage, she shows no qualms about cheating such as using Senzu beans if she's actually on the losing end of a fight, something that pure-blooded Saiyans like Vegeta show scorn for. This comes off as [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocritical]] considering that she looks down on other fighters if ''[[DoubleStandard they]]'' [[DoubleStandard weren't playing fair]]. Her only redeeming traits were her love for her niece and brother. [[spoiler:Once she becomes a Majin, however, even that goes out the window when she gleefully murders Gohan by cutting him in half with no remorse. To top it all off, her descent into evil was simply because she hated protecting those she sees as weak and were thus unworthy of living]]. In a series filled with psychopaths, galactic conquerors, and outright {{Jerkass}}es, Son Bra easily comes off as the most detestable of the lot despite her being on the side of good.
* While ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' officially has no BigBad, Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen is the closest fit with most of the strife in the story resulting from her machinations. Despite this, she's largely a behind-the-scenes player who keeps up a friendly veneer in public and can seem downright reasonable until she finally starts letting her MaskOfSanity slip in a later story arc. Kalki [[spoiler:her daughter]], on the other hand, is openly antagonistic from the moment she's introduced, and one of the first things she does on panel is [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=4295 kill one of the more sympathetic characters with a dirty trick]] in front of his mother and entire family. And that's not even touching on her later actions, which include stabbing her sister's hand into the table to make her stay, chopping off her arm seconds later later, and going for a thrill kill against some unfortunate guests in the middle of her own home being attacked by actual invaders, which establish her as firmly AxCrazy compared to Snadhya'rune's refined manipulations. [[spoiler:Ironically enough, the two of them switch roles in the end when Snadhya murdered Kalki in cold blood after growing weary of her behavior. AlasPoorVillain indeed.]]
* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', Phil and Kaja Foglio evidently originally envisionsed envisioned first Gil and then Tarvek as villains, but both became much more sympathetic, and so they created Tarvek's cousin Martellus "Tweedle" von Blitzengaard, a brutal arrogant oaf who kidnaps heroine Agatha and poisons her so that she can't survive without his physical touch. (She [[ScienceHero of course]] finds a way around it.) All that said, Tweedle isn't ''completely'' loathsome; at the very least, he's no coward.

She then [[spoiler: exploits Shin-Ae's position to make her work for the company, under a man who tried to take advantage of her, deliberately sets her up to be raped by said man, hospitalizes her, and is implied to be an [[AbusiveParents abusive parent]] towards Yeong-Gi.]]

** Emily's unseen mother is another one as well. She's constantly mentioned to be an emotionally abusive deadbeat mom who is always traveling, leaving Emily alone in the house for months on end, and makes it pretty clear that she never wanted Emily at all. In fact, the only reason Emily dated Chase in the first place was because her mother emotionally manipulated her into doing so. Desperately wanting her mother's approval, Emily went along with it, which resulted in the things Chase did to her listed above. In fact, she knows that Chase is a crap person and of his previous shenanigans, but doesn't give a shit, guilt-tripping Emily into staying with him because she thinks she's not gonna do any better. [[spoiler: It doesn't help that when Emily told her she was pregnant, her mother called her a disgrace and would be far too happy to kick her out of the house once she graduates, despite being the main reason Emily is in her current situation in the first place.]]

** Phillip Kim is a cowardly BoisterousWeakling who constantly stirs up rumours so that everyone else will do his fighting for him. After sixty chapters of enjoying his unearned reputation and putting the protagonists into danger, watching Gray beat the snot out of him, followed by Teddy proving that he's nothing but hot air in front of his entire class, is quite satisfying.
** Following in the heels of Phillip Kim, Jared Sun is an OpportunisticBastard who uses his connections to excel at school while bullying all of the hard-working students. He forces Toby to serve Jared and his gang food and alcohol at his family's chicken shop, leading to it getting suspended- Jared reported the shop to authorities [[ForTheEvulz just because he could]], with no consideration for Toby's earnest, hard-working father. He then devised a plan to frame Rowan for stealing from Wolf, which leads to him, Eugene, and Gray all receiving a nasty beating from Wolf's hands. He's such a vile character that readers started to like Wolf more simply because he was the one who delivered Jared's well-deserved punishment, and the chapter where his reputation crumbles down around him is immensely cathartic.
** Bryce Oh is a lying, scheming UngratefulBastard who's petty jealousy against the kindly Stephen- who had went out of his way to befriend Bryce when he was alone- leads to Stephen getting horribly beaten and bullied, eventually to the point that he ends up comatose in the hospital. No one feels sorry for him when Gray [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge retaliates so viciously]] that it gets him expelled.

Despite the [[CrazyAwesome Orks]] Orks being the main antagonists he repeatedly sends his men to pointless deaths and refused aide to his (seemingly) loyal subordinate city governors just to make a point that he is in charge. He has tired multiple times to kill [[TheHero Commissar Yarrick]] for trying to salvage the mess he’s put in, and he may have killed Manneheim’s predecessor for offending him. And in a amazing display of his infinite wisdom launches [[PlanetKiller Planet Killers]] on his home world as a quick solution which [[EpicFail worked wonderfully in the ork’s favor]]. Somehow he manages to one up all of that by [[TheQuisling joining the orks to launch another invasion on his home world]] while he forms an army of loyal idiots to take the planet for himself. He goes in full [[TheCaligula Caligula]] with debaucherous parties and volcano sacrifices to distract how even the [[DudeWheresMyRespect orks don’t give a damn about him]]. In one Apocalypse Game scenario which is the only time he’s playable, but doesn’t have a official model, he gets only one rule which is that Imperium players benefit from his death.

While he worked too well, as the creators themselves used to dislike Disco Bear, one could that his obnoxious behavior and selfish personality is at least partially intentional, as the majority of his deaths are either {{Laser-GuidedKarma}} or a {{KarmicDeath}}.

* While most of the villains in ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' are either too [[LaughablyEvil entertaining]] or too [[EvilIsCool badass]] to genuinely hate, the Chorus trilogy introduces [[spoiler: [[EvilAllAlong Felix]]]]. Although he at first seems to be a LoveableRogue JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he gleefully shows his TrueColors halfway through season 12 when it's revealed he's actually been [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating the Reds and Blues]] into perpetuating a civil war with the goal of killing everyone on both sides. In a show which has its share of {{Jerkass}}es, [[spoiler:Felix]] is the only character whose sociopathy is ''not'' PlayedForLaughs, and is hated by the fans possibly even more than [[BigBad the guy who's actually paying him]] to commit his atrocities.

** [[MisanthropeSupreme Fraser Barton Colborne]] hides his homicidal inclinations under a veneer of civility while mistreating his fellow employees, in particular Garth Mason, having threatened the latter and [[SuicideDare told him to kill himself]]. Fraser is also shown mistreating a cashier who misspelled his name. Driven by [[ForTheEvulz a desire to inflict needless suffering]], Fraser later seduces and kills Madison, murders her brother, Matthew, as a witness, then proceeds to [[SpreeKiller murder 76 civilians]] and 6 police officers at the Desert Sky Mall.
** [[MeanBoss Drake Ward]], the manager of the department store, shows little regard for the wellbeing of his employees. Talking down to Garth Mason because of the latter's age, when Garth mentions Madison Craig's inappropriate behavior, Drake refuses to take any action against Madison out of {{Greed}}, as well as the fact that she is an attractive woman. Drake is also dismissive of any alleged threats Fraser made, and [[GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity threatens to fire Garth]] when he presses the issue.
** The unnamed radio [[SmarmyHost host]] attempts to [[SocietyIsToBlame portray Fraser Barton Colborne as a victim of society]], mentioning Fraser's troubled life as a youth, and is promptly called out on the air by Fraser's foster sister, Jo-Ann Aldrich, who accuses the host of insulting the memories of the victims, as well as insulting her, who lived the same troubled life and attempted to transcend it. When the host attempts to defend themselves, Jo-Ann accuses them of [[NoSympathy lacking sympathy]] for Fraser's victims and refusing to hold Fraser accountable.

** Similarly, Scherzer from the one-off manga taking place during the Greed arc. He's a hedonist, a misogynist, a serial kidnapper ''and'' a rapist who freely states that he loves seeing the women he kidnaps lose all hope. Once again, you'll feel no pity for him when he dies.
** This trope also applies to Seth Twiright, who, unlike almost every other character in the series, is completely unpitiable. He has no [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic backstory]] [[FreudianExcuse justifying his actions]]. In fact, he is the cause of every event that occurs over the course of the series. [[spoiler:His involvement in each arc in Evillious is actually much more direct than his merely setting the ball rolling. He is able to further the story along by becoming the Demon of Wrath after his mortal death, whose Vessel of Sin is used to defeat those possessed by the other demons at the end of each arc.]]
