History HumiliationConga / LiveActionTV

** Stormfront experiences a rather brutal string of karmic retribution in the Season 2 finale. With the help of [[spoiler:A-Train]], the Boys managed to reveal her origins as a white supremacist and [[spoiler:Nazi since the Third Reich]], causing public opinion to turn against her. In a fit of rage, she attacks the Boys only to end up fleeing after getting a brutal beatdown by Kimiko, Starlight, and [[spoiler:Queen Maeve]]. [[VillainousBreakdown Unraveled by her humiliation]], Stormfront then loses an eye to Becca Butcher before [[spoiler:Ryan]] uses his EyeBeams to sear off her limbs and incinerate most of her body. Miraculously, Stormfront survives this ordeal only to end up confined by Vought International in an undisclosed location.
** Homelander to a lesser extent in Season 2 finale. [[spoiler:Maeve]] manages to take Homelander down a peg by blackmailing him with footage of his involvement in Flight 37 disaster. This leads to him losing his son Ryan to Butcher (the irony being that Homelander spared simply to have someone to mock), having to publicly apologize to both Maeve and Starlight, being forced to live with the Boys getting pardoned, and becoming a mere corporate tool of Vought International. Rather fittingly, last scene of Homelander in the season is him--devoid of any allies or pawns--pathetically venting his frustrations by masturbating and saying "I can do whatever the fuck I want" over and over

** The last day of being a King for Stannis. [[spoiler:He's not exactly written-off gracefully; Stannis finds out that half his army has deserted him overnight, that his wife has committed suicide, that Melisandre has abandoned him and then he comes on the receiving end of the single most one-sided CurbStompBattle in the show, lacking even Mance Rayder's excuse of being in the middle of parley with Jon Snow. To top it all, he then gets killed by Brienne in the name of Renly, who she calls "the rightful King" despite Stannis basing his entire campaign on being the only contender with a legitimate legal claim.]]
** This is {{Subverted}} with Queen Cersei Lannister. [[spoiler:Since Season 3, everything has been going wrong for her. Joffrey begins to disregard her. Her power and influence began to fade in favor of her ArchNemesis [[LovableAlphaBitch Margaery Tyrell]] who proves to be far better at wrapping Joffrey around her finger, Cersei is regularly outmaneuvered and outgambitted, and is reduced to an UnwittingPawn in everyone else's game. Despite being Tywin's favorite, he plans to ship her off to marry Loras so that he can have more power. With her attempt to become the new BigBad in Season 5 being an EpicFail [[HoistByHisOwnPetard that gets her arrested]]), she's stripped naked and publicly humiliated with a walk of shame in King's Landing, two of her children are killed while the third completely turns on her (siding with the aforementioned Margaery Tyrell and the High Sparrow, who was responsible for her walk of shame), she's banned from Small Council meetings or any prominent position in court and is facing a trial for high treason and incest she ''cannot'' hope to win. [[LaserGuidedKarma And all of it is entirely her fault.]] By the penultimate episode of Season 6, Cersei has been completely outplayed by everyone in King's Landing, leaving her a powerless joke to everyone who knows her. Even [[CoolOldLady Olenna Tyrell]] rubs in the fact Cersei has lost.]] The subversion occurs [[spoiler: at Cersei's trial in the Season 6 finale. Having crossed her DespairEventHorizon almost twenty times over and going through years of SanitySlippage, Cersei finally snaps from her never-ending humiliation and simply decides to blow up the entire royal court of King's Landing and [[TheUsurper take the throne for herself]] rather than risk facing the potential consequences of attending said trial.]] Needless to say, antagonizing such a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen cruel, unstable, vicious individual]] was a ''[[WhosLaughingNow bad idea]]''.

** "Battle of the Bastards" is essentially Ramsay's pride before the fall. Right as he on the cusp of victory, the Knights of the Vale arrive to relieve Jon's army and routs the Boltons back to Winterfell. Ramsay tries to hunker down for a siege, only for Wun Wun to break down the gate and allow the Wildlings to storm the castle, before Jon finally beats Ramsay to a bloody pulp for the atrocities Ramsay has committed: such as Ramsay murdering his brother Rickon, raping his sister Sansa, and for all the hell Ramsay has wreaked. Finally, Ramsay is approached by Sansa in the dungeon, who reminds him that he has not fed his hunting dogs in seven days due to deliberately starving them so that they would kill Jon and Jon and Sansa's loyalist officers before Ramsay is finally devoured by his own dogs.
** Season 4 starts with Tywin at the height of his power but it proves to be PrideBeforeAFall. Throughout the season, he is gradually weakened. He is forced to concede to the Tyrells in order to avoid bankruptcy after the war drained his house's finances. Due to the looming threat of Dany and her army he has to make amends with the Martells who despise his family with a passion. Then Joffrey dies on his wedding day and his plan of getting Jaime to renounce the Kingsguard fails. His alliance with the Martells ends, and he even loses the services of Ser Gregor as TheBrute. ''Then'', Cersei confirms that her children were the product of incest with Jaime, to Tywin's shock and disbelief. And ''finally'', Tywin gets offed by Tyrion, after finally being revealed as a hypocrite whoremonger much like his son.
** After Jaime Lannister's fight with Eddard Stark, he's berated by his father for being rash and stupid, and then subsequently defeated in the field and captured by Robb Stark. He then spends the next year or so as a prisoner trotted from camp to camp and kept in a grubby pen, covered in his own filth. When he's finally freed from captivity, he's escorted, in chains, by a stoic woman whom he's constantly at odds with. His attempted escape ends with him losing a sword fight to said woman, being recaptured by the enemy, and, finally, losing his sword hand. This continues when he returns to King's Landing where his family openly mocks him for sitting out for most of the war as a captive and losing his hand in the process and his own sister turns him away from her because of his loss of limb.

** Jool's entire character arc is this for her. Granted, she's both a RichBitch and an InsufferableGenius, so she earns a lot of the hostility she receives, but still: she was cryogenically frozen against her will for almost a quarter of a century and wakes up to discover that the cousins who were traveling with her are dead and she's trapped aboard a ship full of criminals and malcontents being chased across the galaxy by a variety of powerful and evil people. And that's just her origin story; the show itself likes to add to her misery (in one particular episode, for example, she is shot through the arm with an arrow, made to drink urine, dumped in the mud, and gratuitously struck on her still seeping wound). Oh...and she has [[MakeMeWannaShout a scream that can melt metal]], so the other characters have a habit of scaring and/or physically injuring her in situations where that would be useful.

* In ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'', Kamen Rider Ouja gets a more personal one. He finally kills his archenemy Zolda, only to discover that the [[spoiler: Zolda he just killed wasn't the one he'd be after, who died peacefully at home during the fight]], afterward he emerges in disarray into the real world, only to find himself cornered by the police and pinned down by snipers who gun him down. While not as humiliating at first, considering his motivations, this is probably the most humiliating end he could ask for.

* In ''Series/{{Victorious}}'', Tori and friends deliver one to Ryder Daniels, a ManipulativeBastard who gets a kick out of playing with girls' emotions to trick them into helping him get a better grade, then cruelly dumping them when they're no longer of use. When Tori, his latest victim, finds out, she uses the singing event he wanted to use her to get a good grade in to set one up for him. She tricks him onstage and disables his mic before being joined by his ex-girlfriends in performing "Begging On Your Knees", a TheVillainSucksSong she and André wrote just for him. As it's sung, revealing Ryder's manipulative ways to the entire school, Robbie, Beck, and even the ''teacher hosting the event'' prevent Ryder from leaving the stage as Sinjinn keeps the spotlight focused right on him. When the song ends and he can finally leave the stage, not only is the [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing entire school cheering his downfall]], but another group from the event greet him by singing "You just got burned!" to rub salt in the wound. The icing on top is that this whole thing was 1/3 of his grade in that class and thanks to Tori, he flunked.

** Homelander to a lesser extent in Season 2 finale. [[spoiler:Maeve]] manages to take Homelander down a peg by blackmailing him with footage of his involvement in Flight 37 disaster. This leads to him losing his son Ryan to Butcher (the irony being that Homelander spared simply to have someone to mock), having to publicly apologize to both Maeve and Starlight, being forced to live with the Boys getting pardoned, and becoming a mere corporate tool of Vought International.

* In the ''Series/KenanAndKel'' episode "[[Recap/KenanAndKelS03Ep19ClothesEncounters Clothes Encounters]]", Kenan inadvertently insults the manager of the clothes store and gets himself locked out of his dressing room, in which Rudy, the manager, [[DisproportionateRetribution takes his clothes and places them on the hangers]]. He asks Kel to grab them for him, but Kel continuously forgets. Kids laugh at him for being in his underwear, and a woman accuses him of stealing her clothes when Kenan was only holding them. Kenan then rips his underwear, runs throughout town partially nude, and finally makes it home during Sheryl's baby shower.

** In [[Characters/BigBrother16 Season 16]], After houseguest Christine Brecht betrayed her friends Nicole Franzel and Hayden Voss she was evicted by her own alliance The Detonators (who were all too happy to see her out in the end) and was booed upon leaving the house. Then enters the jury house to find Donny (of all people!) making fun of her laughter, and everyone is happy to see her because she's not in the game.

** From ''Millennials vs. Gen X'', Day 36 was not kind to Jay. First, he ended up blowing his lead in the immunity challenge when he forgot to uncover his answers causing David to win immunity. Second, he attempted to play an idol only to find out that it was a fake hidden immunity idol. Third, his vote against Ken did not count as Ken ended up playing the legacy advantage that caused all votes do not count towards him. Fourth, the tribe all unanimously voted him out becoming the 8th member of the jury.

** There's also a ThanksgivingEpisode where Frasier's son Frederick has this trope happen to him for the entire episode. Frederick is being taken care of by his grandfather and uncle and has mishap after mishap happen to him, including accidentally eating a cookie that has nuts he's allergic to causing him to break out in hives, getting a piece of gum stuck in his hair, and getting beaned in the face with a baseball.

* The opening of ''Series/Family Law'' has attorney Lynn thrown when her husband asks for a divorce. When she shows up at their law offices with best friend Dani, she finds the place completely cleaned out down to the furniture. Her husband has been planning this "sudden" move for some time, not only getting the entire staff (except newly hired assistant Patricia) to join but telling all the clients Lynn has "issues" that prevent her from being an effective attorney. He's already bought new offices while sticking Lynn to the deed to this overpriced spot in only her name. The topper is when Lynn's long-time loyal middle-aged assistant comes in...and reveals she's been having an affair with her husband for a year.

* ''The Boys'':

** Angelus is considered the monster of both series, [[TheDreaded a name everyone fears]]. Well, after Faith fights him to a standstill she allows him to feed on her, having doped up beforehand so he gets drugged and taken out. "[[Recap/AngelS04E15Orpheus Orpheus]]" lets the conga commence: he couldn't beat a Slayer that was higher than a kite, he can't attack her during his head trip, ashamed at Faith seeing him live like a bum, horrified she sees him rescue a puppy, goes on about how it sucks that he's such an uncool FashionVictimVillain, and to top it off Faith snarks the whole way, ending with the revelation he listens to Mandy and attends Manilow concerts.
%%** Xander 'funny syphilis' Harris. That was certainly an interesting ThanksgivingEpisode.

* ''Series/{{Batman}}'' has a great example in "Flop Goes The Joker" when the villain invades Wayne Manor. Alfred defeats the Joker in a fencing match, then, when the Joker accidentally finds the Batpoles (thankfully unlabeled at this time) and tries to slide down. Alfred uses the emergency elevator function on the poles to capture the Joker while preventing him from reaching the Batcave. At Batman's amused orders, Alfred sends the Joker screaming up and down repeatedly, enjoying every minute of it.

** For a MagnificentBastard, TheMaster gets some pretty brutal Congas. First, he was stranded on the planet of the Cheetah People where he was infected with a deadly illness, failed in his plan to capture the TARDIS and was killed when the planet was destroyed. Then during his sixth incarnation, his hold over the Doctor was broken by Martha Jones's BatmanGambit, Jack Harkness destroyed the source of his power, his dominion over the earth was undone and he was taken captive before being shot dead by his wife. During the Tenth Doctor's [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime final episode]], he was manipulated by Rassilon into releasing him and the other Time Lords who planned to destroy the universe and [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascend to godhood]], but refused to take the Master with them because they considered him "diseased" and tried to get the Doctor to shoot him.

** Davros has had some nasty Congas as well. First his own creations turned on him and killed him but resurrected him for the Time War but his flagship was almost devoured by the [[EldritchAbomination Nightmare Child]] and he was saved by the time traveling Dalek Caan who brought him to the present day where he created a new race of Daleks who made him their slave. Then Dalek Caan betrayed him and the Daleks were destroyed as a result, leaving Davros stranded onboard his exploding ship, refusing to accept the Doctor's offer to save him.
