History ItsAllAboutMe / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': In "Titans East Part 2" Robin accuses Cyborg of being this for wanting to stay and lead the Titans East, leading Cyborg to hurl a similar accusation at Robin himself.

* Arsenal from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', aka: [[spoiler: The original Roy Harper]] is this, starting out when he almost blows a covert op and gets his teammates hurt just to spite [[spoiler: Lex Luthor]], to the point where he nearly gets the team killed all because ''he'' didn't want to be captured. Granted, he was highly traumatized the last time he was captured, but when he's rightly [[WhatTheHellHero called out on it]], [[NeverMyFault he refuses to take responsibility for it]] or even apologizes. He did mellow out by season 3, though.

* Dewey Duck, of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', certainly likes to make everything about him. He sings his own theme song, and in one episode ran away because no-one would listen to his story of how he acquired his new hat.

*** Cartman was already a ''massive'' {{Narcissist}} and AttentionWhore thanks to being coddled and spoiled rotten by his mother Liane, but years of being treated this way reaches [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome its only logical outcome]] in "City People"; it turns out Liane doesn't own their house and is renting it from the actual owner. Due to the growing number of people moving to South Park, the increasing demand for real estate has caused said rent to increase to match the market rate, so in order to keep paying it, Liane gets a job as a real estate agent. Cartman, unsurprisingly, is ''not'' thrilled about this and only cares that his mother won't be around to take care of him full-time, refusing to listen when she says she ''needs'' the job to keep a roof over their heads and [[EntitledBastard going as far as to say that HE is her job]]. Indeed, when he forces her to quit at the end of the episode, they lose their house and are forced to move into a cramped hot dog diner that has barely any room for all their belongings. It's all but implied that this has irreversibly damaged their relationship, and it's not until he accidentally blasts himself in the face with a condiment dispenser that Cartman realizes [[IWarnedYou Liane wasn't kidding]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone and that he majorly screwed himself this time]].

** ''Eric Cartman''. For example, the Imaginationland episodes had him not caring about the possible destruction of all imagination by evil characters or by the US government's nuke. Instead, he only cared about proving that he won a stupid bet so that Kyle would have to suck his balls.
*** Earlier than that, the episode "Cartmanland" had him spending his entire inheritance money so he can buy a failing theme park in order to have it all to himself. It becomes clear early on that Cartman is so self-centered, he will never tire of it. However, he soon finds that he needs to hire a security guard to keep people out, which causes him to reluctantly let two people in per day in order to pay him. Then the rides start to break down and he has to let in two more people to hire a repairman, and so on and so on until the park is packed full. Even though his park is extremely successful and raking in cash (since being told they weren't allowed in [[ForbiddenFruit made people really want to get in]]), all he cared about was having the park to himself and not having to wait in line for the rides, so he sells it back to the original owner for the same price he paid for it. This ends up immediately biting him in the ass, as the IRS shows up to claim half the money for taxes, and the other half for a damage settlement (Kenny died on one of the rides), leaving him $40,000 in debt with no way to pay it back.

** Satan in the episode "Hell on Earth 2006". The main plot is about him trying to host the perfect Halloween party. He wants a Ferrari cake to be wheeled into the room at midnight, but [[Film/TheThreeStooges the Three Murderers]] accidentally smash the cake when they pick it up from the shop. Because they murdered all the bakers in the shop, they have to bake a new cake themselves, but they make it a different car model so they can bring it back in time. When they finally get back with the new cake, Satan is disappointed that it's not a Ferrari. When his minion says the guests are still happy, Satan screams, "It's not about the guests! IT'S ALL ABOUT '''ME'''!" This prompts a MyGodWhatHaveIDone, when he realizes he's acting like those spoiled 16 year old girls in those reality shows like "My Super Sweet Sixteen" that the episode was parodying.

** Eric Cartman. For example, the Imaginationland episodes had him not caring about the possible destruction of all imagination by evil characters or by the US government's nuke. Instead, he just cared about proving that he won a stupid bet so that Kyle would have to suck his balls.

* One of [=BoJack's=] main flaws in ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' is his inability to lose this mentality. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold He does try, though]].

** [[VileVillainSaccharineShow Lord Tirek]] from the fourth season finale takes the biggest cake. He more less sees himself as ''entitled'' to all the magic in Equestria due to his overwhelming {{Greed}} when it comes to power, going into a rage when the Princesses manage to hide theirs from him. He gets to stab [[spoiler:Discord]] in the back for power despite [[MoralMyopia continually showing hatred and bitterness towards his brother]] for [[{{Hypocrite}} betraying him to save Equestria centuries ago.]]

** Horde Prime may, through some dark miracle, be worse. [[spoiler:He is so offended that Hordak could even ''exhibit'' free will that he not only {{Mind Rape}}s the guy, he's only prevented from attempting to depopulate the planet to conceal all evidence of Hordak's existence by Catra telling him that it can be used as a weapon.]]

* The Warden from ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'', the {{Psychopathic Manchild}} in charge of his own colossal prison where he can torture its billions of inmates to indulge in his own bizarre fantasies. Was willing to throw a {{Littlest Cancer Patient}} into the incinerator because her youth reminded him of his old age, once monitored everyone's dreams (including his loyal subordinates) with his Dream Machine out of fear of a prison riot ([[SelfFulfillingProphecy which happens anyway]]), and in an alternate future declared global war on the earth and enslave all its people to make his jail into a large franchise. Even the ''[=SuperJail=]''! Wikipedia page for his personality synopsis doesn't hesitate to point out that the Warden has committed all of Hotchkiss' seven deadly sins of narcissism and has exhibited many, if not all, the traits related to it.

** In the ''Before Ever After'' movie, she insists that Rapunzel tell no-one about their trip outside the kingdom that restored Rapunzel's hair, not even Eugene, because she's afraid it will cost her her job.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': In "Titans East Part 2" Robin accuses Cyborg of being this and Robin does likewise.

** [[TheStarscream Starscream]], from , in every incarnation, in every timeline. His MoralMyopia is so acute that despite being the TropeNamer of treachery, he has blown up in fury at anyone else's attempts at betraying, nay, even insulting Megatron. [[TheStarscream Starscream's]] objections to people attacking Megatron are perhaps closer to TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou. Still fits the trope every time he, himself, is betrayed.
** In ''[[Anime/TransformersArmada Armada]]'' and ''[[Anime/TransformersEnergon Energon]]'' Starscream doesn't have this trait [[NobleDemon at all]].
** Even more so is Megatron, in most continuities his primary rule in the Deceptions, is do what I say, or taste my blaster.
** In most version, Unicron destroys things because he despises the existence of anything that isn't himself.

* While all four of the main characters from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' have displayed various degrees of self-centered-ness, and Raimundo even [[spoiler: defected to the Heylin side for all of two episodes]] (to say nothing of the villains), the winner by far is [[TheChosenOne Omi]]... which is why [[spoiler: he doesn't actually get to be TheChosenOne. [[CharacterDevelopment Rai]][[MeaningfulName mundo]] [[DecoyProtagonist does]].]]
* Arsenal from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', aka: [[spoiler: The original Roy Harper]] is this, starting out when he almost blows a covert op and gets his teammates hurt just to spite [[spoiler: Lex Luthor]], to the point where he nearly gets the team killed all because ''he'' didn't want to be captured. Then when he's rightly [[WhatTheHellHero called out on it]], [[NeverMyFault he refuses to take responsibility for it]] or even apologizes.

** She gets worse hen she [[FaceHeelTurn becomes a villain]] in season 3.

* Lucius Heinous VII on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', which is a rather obvious result of basing the character off [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]]. For starts, his visage is virtually everywhere in Miseryville.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': Because of her extreme immaturity, Harley has a bad habit of placing her own interests and goals before those of others, which more than once comes at the expense of her friends. Ivy at one point lampshades this by criticizing Harley for never showing interest in anything that isn't about her noting that she wasn't trying very hard to hide her relationship with Kite Man to the point where everyone else in the crew already knew.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheDiamondCastle'', [[VainSorceress Lydia's]] villainous motivation comes from her desire to be the only muse and keep all music for herself.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor'', Malucia holds a huge party in honor of herself and is adamant that she be the only princess allowed to have magic.

** Homer Simpson started out as a bumbling but loving dad who regularly made sacrifices for the good of his family, but has been {{flanderized}} into an intensely selfish man who treats his family as an afterthought -- when he thinks of them at all. This is demonstrated in "'Tis the Fifteenth Season", when he spends his family's entire Christmas budget on a gift for himself.

* Peggy Hill of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' is a huge egomaniac who thinks she's right about everything (''especially'' things she has very little knowledge of), thinks she can do no wrong, and if she's involved in something she will often completely take over it, often takes credit for others ideas, and will state known facts as her personal opinions (example: "In my opinion, kindling is the best wood to start a fire with"). In "The Incredible Hank", due to everyone at Strickland getting sick, Hank has taken over their workload making him feel tired and sluggish, so when Peggy asks him to help with the "Running with the Bulls" program he turns her down. Her response to this is to drug him with testosterone.
