They treat Grim like their slave, and despite being legitimately powerful and scary when he wants to be, Underworld rules means he can't break the contract. Ever since then he's become the laughing stock of the Underworld and is one of the series' main [[ButtMonkey butt monkeys]]. It doesn't help that [[CreepyChild Mandy]] is every bit as scary as he used to be, if not more so.

* Downplayed in ''Have A Nice Death'': The tedium and stress of running [[CelestialBureaucracy Death Inc.]] has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlJHIQPshLA weakened the Reaper considerably]] so he has to fight his rogue employees the old fashioned way, he still has a ton of weapons and spells at his disposal.

* ''Manga/DeathNote'': The {{Shinigami}} are Gods of Death that collect human lifespans through the Death Notes. While impossible to harm by humans, they're generally lazy and bored who do little if anything in their own decaying Shinigami Realm besides extending their own lives, some even having died by forgetting to extend their own lifespan. Sidoh in particular is a joke among the Shinigami who slacked off so much he lost his Death Note. Ryuk is about the only proactive shinigami who started the plot because of how boring the Shinigami Realm is.

Oh and the same goes for Hades of Clash of the Titans who serves a similar role as the everybody hates Hades can attest. He is hated exactly because he is feared


* ''Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010'': [[EverybodyHatesHades Hades]] is treated much like his Disney example, being TheFriendNobodyLikes to his fellow Olympians and gets the short end of the stick for his role as god of TheUnderworld. Unfortunately for the other gods [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly they need worship]] while Hades only needs mortal fear, allowing him to strike back when their worship wanes.

The laconic description sums up the character as an unintimidating Butt-Monkey. Hades despite his humorous traits is neither and the reasons that everyone dislikes him are in fact because he is so evil and to quote Calliope as mean as he was ruthless

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'': Hades, God of the Underworld is treated as TheFriendNobodyLikes among his fellow Olympian gods, rarely appearing on Mt Olympus, gets ribbed by Zeus and hates his job. This is a contributing factor [[EverybodyHatesHades to his villainy and desire to conquer Mt Olympus]], where he releases the Titans and storms Mt Olympus [[WhosLaughingNow to show how much of a "joke" he is]].
