* "Bewitched''

* For a MagnificentBastard, TheMaster from ''Series/DoctorWho'' 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 his most recent appearance, he was manipulated by Rassilon into releasing him and the other Time Lords who planned to destroy the universe and 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.

* The vampire Spike had this done to him a couple times, both on ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and on ''Series/{{Angel}}'', and that was long before he did his HeelFaceTurn, [[spoiler:regained his soul]] and suffered BadassDecay.
** Speaking of the former TropeNamer, Angelus is considered the monster of both series, 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. Let 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 as 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.
*** And don't forget Xander 'funny syphilis' Harris. That was certainly an interesting ThanksgivingEpisode.

* In the final episode of ''Series/{{Survivor}}: Heroes Versus Villains'', Russell Hantz, an EntitledBastard who had spent most of the game making and breaking end-game deals, blindsiding others, and making everyone around him miserable, is hit with a well-deserved one. First, his last remaining ally Parvati says that she would have voted for his hated rival Sandra over him. When he gets up and goes for a walk, Sandra burns his stinking hat in a MeaningfulEcho of his burning Jaison's socks back in ''Samoa''. That Night 39, the ''entire'' jury, Hero and Villain, foe and ally alike, just ''rips'' him full force. While some of them shower Sandra with glowing and well-deserved accolades, others blast him for his total disregard for them. (Ex-finalist Danielle, in particular, chews him out for his lack of jury management skills, while Candice tacks on a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.) The icing on top of all this? In front of a live studio audience, he has to watch as Sandra, whom he hand-picked to be his jury goat, racks up the votes (especially those of the Heroes) easily, while he gets shut out. But it didn't stop there; pre-jury castoff Boston Rob chimed in on his playing style. Thus, having accepted a re-match with Rob, Redemption Island was born, and Russell was promptly rejected by his new tribe. Guess who went on to the win?

* One of the ValentinesDayEpisodes of ''{{Frasier}}'' devotes its first eight minutes to Niles suffering one. By the end of it he's accidentally set Frasier's apartment on fire, destroyed his own pants and is left standing in just his boxers, ruined the dinner he was making for his date, and faints in the open, unlocked apartment after giving himself a small cut and seeing his own blood.

* Trish on ''AustinAndAlly'' organizes one for Dallas in ''World Records & Work Wreckers'' because Ally refuses to fire him from her music store for being a horrible employee who only had the job due to a mixup. Trish hires a Marching band, a group of cheerleaders with a large banner, and a gospel choir to tell him that he's fired. There are even balloons!
* In an episode of ''MyNameIsEarl'', Earl has been working as a BurgerFool, and has a really BadBoss. During a child's birthday party, Mr. Patrick berates Earl, and Earl punches him in the face in response. Mr. Patrick gets sent to the emergency room, and his wife shows up...and so does his mistress. The girlfriend dumps him, and the wife throws him out and files for divorce, and gives him a DefenestrateAndBerate routine in the process. During which she finds the money he's been stealing. Which lands him in prison, where he becomes his new cellmate's bitch.

* From ''BrooklynNineNine'', Holt plans one for Jake during the 2nd Halloween episode.
* The fall of Stringer Bell in ''TheWire'' fits this trope. After all his scheming and maneuvering in hopes of becoming a rich and legitimate business man, it all comes crashing down. First he finds out that Mayor Clay Davis was playing him for a fool and took his money that he used to try and buy his way into the business world. And he can't retaliate in any way, because killing a high profile politician would bring the whole government of law enforcement on the Barksdale crew. His friendship with his best friend and partner Avon Barksdale began to fall apart, especially [[spoiler: after Stringer Bell admitted that he had his nephew D'Angelo killed in prison out of fear that he would talk to the police and give them up.]] Avon in return [[spoiler: betrays Stringer Bell to Omar Little and Brother Monzone, two men that he tried to setup in the past but failed. In the end, all Stringer Bell could do was FaceDeathWithDignity.]]
* ''LiveAction/GameOfThrones'': 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 recieving 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.]]
* "Series/Law&OrderSVU" has had a couple of these:

** Speaking of the former TropeNamer, Angelus is considered the CompleteMonster of both series, 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. Let 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 as 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.

** In the show's very first episode, Sheila Summers is a snobby rich bitch who invites Darrin and Samantha to her house for a posh dinner party. Sheila spends the entire dinner party ridiculing Samantha and trying to steal Darrin away from her. Samantha gets fed up and uses her powers to put Sheila in her place. This includes mussing Sheila's hair, unzipping her dress, making food spill her lap and much more.
** In Season 4 (Episode 19) Sheila returns. This time she invites Darrin and Samantha to a backyard bar-b-q. Once more she ridicules Samantha and tries to steal Darrin away. And once more Samantha unleashes her fury.

* In ''ChinesePaladin'', Yue'Ru's BreakTheHaughty occurs through this trope, beginning with being defeated in a martial arts contest, cast out by her family, progressively losing her possessions, and being forced to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking go]] [[DeniedFoodAsPunishment hungry]]. The end result changes her to a LovableAlphaBitch.

* This has happened to the whole cast of ''Series/MarriedWithChilden'' numerous times (Al mostly, Bud a close second, but ''all'' of them at least a few times) along with quite a few one-shot characters.

* One of the ValentinesDayEpisodes of ''{{Frasier}}'' devotes its first eight minutes to Niles suffering one. By the end of it he's accidentally set Frasier's apartment on fire, destroyed his own pants and is left standing with just his boxers, has ruined the dinner he was making for his date, and is faints in the open, unlocked apartment after giving himself a small cut and seeing his own blood.

** Rygel gets one in the first season episode "Throne for a Loss." He's kidnapped, his captors encase him in mud to prevent him from escaping, they feed him unspeakable glop, he's ''killed'' and then resurrected by a fellow prisoner on the condition that he turn over all of his empire's territory and subjects to him, gets stuffed in a bag and beaten, and is finally forced to loudly admit to all and sundry that he was deposed as ruler of his empire, that he has no money to pay his ransom, and even if he did, no one likes him enough to pay it anyway.

* In ''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]], afterwards 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 the final episode of ''Series/{{Survivor}}: Heroes Versus Villains'', Russell Hantz, an EntitledBastard who had spent most of the game making and breaking end-game deals, blindsiding others, and making everyone around him miserable, is hit with a well-deserved one. First, his last remaining ally Parvati says that she would have voted for his hated rival Sandra over him.

That Night 39, the ''entire'' jury, Hero and Villain, foe and ally alike, just ''rips'' him full force. While some of them shower Sandra with glowing and well-deserved accolades, others blast him for his complete disregard of their feelings. (Ex-finalist Danielle, in particular, chews him out for his lack of jury management skills, while Candice tacks on a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.) The cherry on top? In front of a live studio audience, he has to watch Sandra, the person he hand-picked to take to the finals specifically because he believed the jury wouldn't vote for a previous winner, rack up the votes easily (including all of the Heroes' votes), while he gets no votes. But it didn't stop there; during the reunion, some pre-jury castoffs, including Boston Rob, chimed in on his playing style. Thus, having accepted a re-match with Rob, Redemption Island was born, and Russell was promptly rejected by his new tribe. Guess who went on to the win?

Which lands him in prison, where he becomes his new cellmate's bitch.

* ''{{Colditz}}'' provides a truly epic example; one of the later episodes is [[VillainEpisode entirely devoted]] to giving the show's [[ThePoliticalOfficer only real Nazi character]], a SmugSnake who's spent the series singing the praises of the Third Reich, an utterly humiliating send-off. First he realises his beloved Reich is actually going to lose the war; he tries vainly and pathetically to cajole the prisoners into testifying that he treated them well; he's sacked from his post; his girlfriend denies she knows him; and after receiving no less than ''three'' {{The Reason You Suck Speech}}es from both his OfficerAndAGentleman superior and his own prisoners, flees ignominiously in a farmers' cart. A rather karmic end, considering the show is normally about the prisoners' own escape attempts.

* ''TheShield'' series finale sees MagnificentBastard[=/=]SociopathicHero[=/=]CowboyCop Vic Mackey looking like he's about to ride to glory, KarmaHoudini-style, via a deal that he struck for immunity from ALL past crimes. [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle Not so fast!]] First, he gets into a smug taunting match with best friend-turned-[[FaceHeelTurn murdering fugitive]], Shane. Soon after, [[spoiler:Shane kills his pregnant wife and toddler son with poison, before [[AteHisGun eating his own gun]]. He leaves a suicide note pretty much blaming Vic for turning him into a criminal, which Claudette reads to a dumbstruck Vic. And while Vic is still reeling from that, she makes sure he sees the last surviving Strike Team member, Ronnie, get perp-walked past him as he's taking the fall for ''all'' the stuff Vic confessed to, because Vic had lied to Ronnie about the immunity deal including him. Ronnie finds out about this as he's being cuffed, he is ''not'' happy about this and proceeds to inform Vic -- ''and the entire Barn'' -- of his feelings, all of which more or less permanently trashes Vic's rep among the Boys In Blue. But wait -- there's more! He also finds out his betrayal of Ronnie was for nothing, because the side deal he'd cut for ex-wife Corrine was redundant: she'd ''already'' cut a deal with Claudette to help try and snag Vic, including an order of protection against Vic ''and'' witness relocation. (Bye bye, beloved kids!) And his dream job/consolation prize? Well, that turned out to be a three-year stretch of suit-and-tie paper pushing, courtesy of the slightly corrupt I.C.E agent Vic finessed to get his immunity deal -- which Vic ''has'' to follow through on, or his deal is voided and he's pretty much guaranteed life in prison -- after which the Feds can fire him, and with his sins all public knowledge, he will never be able to get a job in law enforcement ever again, denying him the justification that he used to hide from his crimes. In ''one single episode'', Vic is stripped of absolutely everything that meant anything to him and is left to choke on it]].

* ''Series/BigTimeRush'': In the Season 1 finale, Hawk, the BigBad (and his assistant Rebecca), has kidnapped the boys to keep them from appearing at their concert. He then arrives at the Music Box and blows Gustavo and Kelly's cover and reveal that Big Time Rush isn't there, leaving the crowd to boo Gustavo and Kelly and abandon the Music Box, which would end Rocque Records forever. Just when it looks like Gustavo and Kelly have their backs against the wall, [[BigDamnHeroes the boys arrive to save them]], leaving Hawk and Rebecca shocked. Just before the boys win the show back, Hawk tries to stop them again but is faced with Sebastian-'''his former butler'''-who blasts him and Rebecca with hot towels to stop them. The boys then proceed to kick off the performance, doing great and saving Rocque Records, ruining Hawk's plan completely, all right in front of him.
* In the final episode of ''Series/{{Survivor}}: Heroes Versus Villains'', Russell Hantz, an EntitledBastard who had spent most of the game making and breaking end-game deals, blindsiding others, and making everyone around him miserable, is blasted with a well-deserved one.

** In ''Gabon'', resident {{Jerkass}} {{Griefer}} [[JadedWashout Randy Bailey]] went through this in his exit episode. It started with him getting upset because Sugar [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous took his cookie at the reward auction]], and deciding to be an even ''bigger'' griefer by intentionally pissing off every single person left. How did he plan to get out of it? By using the immunity idol that his ally Bob found on Exile Island, and use at the upcoming Tribal Council, since it was obvious that he was going to be targeted. At Tribal Council, both Sugar and his ArchEnemy Crystal mocked him in their voting confessionals; Crystal even shouted hers loud enough for ''everyone'' to hear. It all came to head when he played the immunity idol, only to find out - whoops! - it was a fake that Bob made because Sugar found the ''real'' immunity idol very early on. With no way of blocking the votes cast against him, Randy was voted out. But at least he made the jury, where he delivered a CallBack.
