* Squidward gets a good one in "The Splinter", for teasing and bullying [=SpongeBob=] over the splinter in his thumb and driving him into near-insanity when he tells him Mr. Krabs could send him home if he sees his condition. Instead, Mr. Krabs removes the splinter and reveals he almost paid [=SpongeBob=] his "worker's compensation", which means employees who cannot come to work still have to get paid. Squidward, upon realizing this, injures his head with the cash register so he can receive his worker's comp, but Mr. Krabs says he cannot be paid because his shift ended two minutes ago.

LaserGuidedKarma in ''Franchise/SpongeBobSquarePants''
----
* Squidward's horrific luck was initially presented as a product of this trope due to his {{jerkass}} attitude. As the show evolved, however, his ButtMonkey role became less provoked and leaned more into ComedicSociopathy territory. Now he's widely considered the show's biggest [[TheWoobie Woobie]].
** This also makes the moments where he finally gets his revenge, or when karma finally hits [=SpongeBob=], all the more satisfying.
* Mr. Krabs tends to be a victim of this in episodes centered on him. [[TemporarilyAVillain These are the episodes when he's at his greediest and being antagonistic.]] A good example would be in "Patty Hype", where he cons [=SpongeBob=] out of the Pretty Patty Stand, only to face the wrath of the customers when the side effects come in. Essentially, Krabs was [[MisplacedRetribution punished for something that wasn't his fault]], but he still deserved it for other reasons.
* Plankton's schemes to steal the Krabby Patty always fail... except the one in [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie the first movie]], where he frames Mr. Krabs for stealing King Neptune's crown, steals the formula when it becomes unguarded, popularizes his Chum Bucket restaurant with the Krabby Patties, and, when Squidward catches on to his plan, uses his technology to brainwash everyone in Bikini Bottom and become its ruler. But in the end, [=SpongeBob=] recovers the crown and, through use of a [[ItMakesSenseInContext music number]], breaks the mind control devices. Plankton is trampled into a puddle and then arrested.
* In "Suds", when [=SpongeBob=] gets sick and decides to see a doctor, Patrick convinces him that the doctor's office is a horrible place and tries to treat [=SpongeBob=] himself. When [=SpongeBob=] finally does see a real doctor and gets a rather relaxing treatment, he gets a giant PostTreatmentLollipop, so [[PlayingSick Patrick claims to have the suds himself]] to get his own, only for him to end up receiving [=SpongeBob's=] treatment in a harsh manner: being rubbed against a cactus and used to clean a toilet bowl as he yells that his treatment doesn't seem right.
* [=SpongeBob=] himself is sometimes dealt with this. Examples include "Opposite Day" when the real estate agent Squidward hired [[{{Foreshadowing}} foresaw]] another sale falling through due to troublesome neighbors.
