* 'WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': Jack Horner. All he cares about is possessing and hoarding whatever magical item he can find. He also managed to find Excalibur and get it by unearthing it from the ground rather than pulling the sword from the stone. This ultimately shows how Jack views magical artifacts; he neither knows nor cares about the item's history, significance, or meaning as long as he can own it and not share it with anyone else.

** In her first few appearances, [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]] was [[ItsAllAboutMe completely occupied with her own issues and had little to no regard for the problems or feelings of others]]. She was obsessed with getting her top student title from Willow for cheating even though the latter was struggling in class, and Amity nearly got Luz killed over it. She also didn't care about making Luz give up her dream of becoming a witch and possibly mauling her; she was more concerned with her own embarrassment at the convention and how it might [[MoralMyopia ruin her chance of getting into the Emperor's Coven]]. Despite everything she's done, she [[{{Hypocrite}} calls Luz a bully]] over a misunderstanding without [[OneSideOfTheStory even trying to talk or listen to Luz's perspective on those events]]. Fortunately, [[CharacterDevelopment she grows out of this]].

* In ''[[Fanfic/TheLamentSeriesChaoticNeutral Chloe's Lament]]'', this proves to be one of her {{Fatal Flaw}}s several times over:

* In Unmasked's [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Miraculous]] [[AccusationFic Salt Fic]] ''[[https://unmaskedagain.tumblr.com/post/189653717042/happy-birthday-miss-bustier Happy Birthday, Miss Bustier]]'', Marinette gets her teacher a gift basket full of bath products, which Miss Bustier sees as the most impressive present she was given by any of her students that year. However, she also sees it as ''less'' impressive than the gifts Marinette had gotten for her ''before''. She deems this important enough to ask Marinette to stay after class and discuss matters with her. '''[[SkewedPriorities Much]]''' [[SkewedPriorities more important]] than addressing any of the bullying she had seen certain ''other'' students subjecting Marinette to. She then has the gall to try lecturing Marinette about how she should be helping those very same students after all the abuse they've heaped upon her, and is honestly ''shocked'' when she refuses.

* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': [[TheGhost Unseen character]] Maris is basically the queen of entitlement as she has lived a huge wealthy life with little to no restrictions and this has given her a spoiled personality. She once parked in a handicapped zone using her chocolate allergy as an excuse, cheats on Niles and soon wants him to take her back despite this. Whenever she is refused, she reacts how you would think a ritch bitch should.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': [[Characters/BeavisAndButtHeadTitularCharacters Beavis and Butt-Head]] always expect others to bend over backwards for them, no matter how ridiculous, unsavory, or vague their requests are. They are promptly dissapointed when they don't.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': [[Characters/BeavisAndButtHeadTitularCharacters Beavis and Butt-Head]] always expect people to bend over backwards for them, no matter how ridiculous or unsavory their requests are. They are promptly disappointed when they don't.

* Kuzco in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' is this in ''spades'' at the beginning. After being turned into a llama, he demands that Pacha escort him back to the palace ''while still openly intending to raze Pacha's village to build his summer home.'' [[spoiler:He gets better...[[FanonDiscontinuity unless you count]] ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'' as canon, since Kuzco suffers AesopAmnesia there and returns to his egotistical ways.]]
* The Duke of Weselton in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''. From the very beginning, he makes it clear that he intends to take advantage of Arendelle's riches, and when Elsa's powers are exposed, he brands her a monster and tries to have her killed. In spite of all that, when all is resolved, he still demands an audience with Elsa... only to be shocked when Elsa not only refuses to meet with him but permanently severs all business ties between Arendelle and Weselton.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': Beavis and Butt-Head always expect people to bend over backwards for them, no matter how ridiculous or unsavory their requests are. They are promptly disappointed when they don't.

** No matter what he does to them, [[Characters/AmericanDadRogerSmith Roger Smith]] always expects the Smiths to have his back. Whenever they push him aside for his deeds, he treats it like a great betrayal.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* The bread and butter of most customers in ''Website/NotAlwaysRight''. They ''deserve'' absurd discounts and assorted goodies when employees make inconsequential errors, get disgruntled from all the verbal abuse, or can't do what they asked because said action is literally impossible. They're the owner's friend/relative/whatever who can have you fired with a single phone call, or the Queen of England, or totally a real lawyer who will totally sue you, or whatever obvious lie they think will intimidate you into giving them what they want. Some of them don't even bother making up crazy lies and simply declare that "the customer is always right", and they are a customer, therefore they are entitled to get exactly what they want no matter how impossible it is, and any worker ([[MistakenForServant or anyone they think is a worker]]) that fails to comply ''must'' therefore be either incompetent, lying because they're lazy and trying to avoid doing any work, or both.
* Likewise, the ''Website/{{Reddit}}'' Subreddits like r/Entitled Parents and r/Choosing Beggars are full of these.

** Of course, Kim is just cheerfully oblivious to his own cruelty. ''Gabriel Agreste'', on the other hand, is fully aware of the impact of his actions. After all, he's the one who ''created'' this AlternateReality in the first place with [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy his selfish Wish]]. And while he ''could have'' avoided Emelie's original tragic fate by simply ensuring his family never got involved with the Miraculouses in the first place, or repaired the broken Peacock, he instead Wished for the magical backlash from the broken artefact to hit ''others'' instead, so that ''they'' pay the cost for Emelie's thoughtlessness.

** After the [[ForWantOfANail one year older]] Izuku makes it into U.A., Katsuki ambushes him on one of his jogs, demanding to know where he got his Quirk from and insisting that "You ''OWE'' me!" that information. Izuku is so disgusted by his long-time bully's sense of entitlement that he [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech lets him have it with both barrels]].

* Kuzco in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' is this in ''spades'' at the beginning. After being turned into a llama, he demands that Pacha escort him back to the palace ''while still openly intending to raze Pacha's village to build his summer home.''

* ''Webcomic/DadVillainAU'': Okay, so Kim played a ''horrible'' prank on Marinette on the very same day that her ailing mother fell into a coma from which she never reawakened. But ''who cares''? Why would ''that'' stop her from [[whats-the-biggest-difference-in-toms-character donating a bunch of free goodies]] to his swim team's upcoming bake sale? After all, [[JustJokingJustification it was just a little joke]]! It takes [[PapaWolf Tom getting involved]] for Kim to back off and stop pestering her.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'': Young Buddy Pine believed that being able to invent jet-boots and claiming to know Mr. Incredible's moves, fighting style and catchphrases automatically entitled him to become Mr. Incredible's ward. Even when he recalls the hurt he felt at Mr. Incredible rebuking him for his foolish decision to interrupt the confrontation between Mr. Incredible and Bomb Voyage, the audience sees the flashback is actually a SelfServingMemory; Bomb Voyage is completely missing in Syndrome's version.

* In ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', King Aultcray Melromarc embodies this trope, since even before Malty enacted her [[FalseRapeAccusation blatantly lie-filled scheme]], the King ''always'' opted to ignore the Shield Hero Naofumi, not even caring for him to introduce himself after the three other Cardinal [[FailureHero "Heroes"]] introduced themselves, that alone speaks volumes of his sheer dislike/hatred toward the Shield Hero; and it just [[SarcasmMode gets better from there]] as he constantly finds flimsy excuses to deprive him of whatever he has scraped together, even his own slave Raphtalia, which is a demi-human, and the King freaking '''hates demi-humans'''; not to mention knowing full well that demi-human slavery is prominent in Melromarc by his own decree no less, he just used the rigged duel on Naofumi to [[IrrationalHatred subtly vent his hatred on him]], getting joy when he sees the rigged duel seemingly worked. [[spoiler: Temporarily at least.]] Really says a lot about how shitty this Royal Asshat is. After all that, how exactly did he expect Naofumi to respond to his demand to explain how he got stronger than the other heroes despite the negative stigma and unfair handicaps he forced upon him? Aultcray ''still'' expected him to comply when it was clear that Naofumi '''will not''' respect, nor obey him by this point for all the crap he's done, and somehow looks shocked and angered when the former spells it out to him . [[spoiler:He does get better, unlike his daughter.]]

* ''[[Webcomic/ViceroyDadVillainAU Viceroy/Dad Villain AU]]'': Okay, so Kim played a ''horrible'' prank on Marinette on the very same day that her ailing mother fell into a coma from which she never reawakened.

* ''Webcomic/FeralnetteAU'': In the ''[[https://bigfatbreak.tumblr.com/tagged/dad%20villain%20au/chrono Dad Villain AU]]'', Kim pulled a horribly traumatic prank on Marinette on the same day that her ailing mother fell into a coma, never to reawaken. This doesn't stop Kim from [[https://bigfatbreak.tumblr.com/post/733754507556798464/whats-the-biggest-difference-in-toms-character expecting Marinette]] to donate a bunch of free baked goods to his swim team's upcoming bake sale, brushing off her dismay. It takes [[PapaWolf Tom getting involved]] for Kim to back off.
-->'''Kim:''' Aww, [[JustJokingJustification it was just a little joke]]!\\
'''Marinette:''' It wasn't to me.

** Mme Bustier ''herself'' sees nothing wrong with asking Marinette to transfer back into her class. Why? Because Chloe is claiming she can't focus on her schoolwork without her favorite target around to torment. Bustier's convinced that, as one of her '[[ExtremeDoormat model students]]', Marinette will be more than happy to help the girl who's been bullying her unchecked for ''years'', and is sincerely surprised when she balks at the notion.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14851212/chapters/42598331 Two Spiders on a Web]]'': After Franchise/SpiderMan and ComicBook/SpiderGwen start their own version of ComicBook/HeroesForHire where ordinary civilians can pay them to preform specific jobs such as babysitting and appearing at stores, it was inevitable that they receive such entitled requests. Some examples include people asking them to beat up people they don't like ''for free'' and a Pizzeria owner asking Gwen to work for him part time but offering her less than minimum wage ([[InsaneTrollLogic his reasoning being that she doesn't need that much money since she can swing around]]); but the crowning example has to be the RichBitch who orders Gwen to hand over her powers, and not being able to understand that doing so is physically impossible.

* In the Salt-Shot ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44607043/chapters/121613383 A Price to Pay]]'', Adrien [[FaceHeelTurn betrays Ladybug]], believing that he'll get everything he wants in the new reality created by [[TheBadGuyWins his father's Wish]]: not only will he get his mother back, Marinette will ''have'' to love him, right? After they learn the hard way that RealityWarpingIsNotAToy and that the Wish [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor didn't turn out how they expected]], Adrien expects Marinette to help him "fix everything" to his liking, even after learning that she [[RippleEffectProofMemory remembers the original reality]] ''and'' that ''her father'' was the one who got killed as the Wish's EquivalentExchange. He even accuses her of being petty for not [[EasilyForgiven instantly accepting his "apology"]] ''while he's making it'', complaining about having to apologize in the first place.

* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30656462/chapters/75636383 Memory Serves]]'' has Su-Han follow through with his intent to strip Marinette of her Guardianship and memories. He then turns around and wants to reinstall her as Ladybug after realizing she'd done a far better job than he'd given her credit for, all while refusing to admit he'd wronged her in the first place.

* In ''[[Fanfic/AngelsEggMHA Angel's Egg]]'', there are several civilians that believe All Might should focus on finding a family ''purely'' for the sake of passing on his Quirk to a successor. They also decry him for taking care of [[DoorstopBaby the titular egg]], believing it's distracting him from finding a 'real' family.

** This also applies to the majority of his classmates, who are used to being given special treatment due to their Quirks being seen as powerful and impressive. U.A. provides a massive reality check, as unlike before, the staff there aren't so willing to overlook 'minor indiscretions' and brush their rule-bending -- and breaking -- under the rug.
* The ''FanFic/SleeperHitAU'' has Bakugou, whose EstablishingCharacterMoment is pitching a fit when he places #38 in the first Hero Rankings held since his graduation from U.A. When Jirou questions whether he honestly expected to immediately hit #1, he claims that no, he didn't... but he expected Top 20 at the very ''least''. The sheer depths of his entitlement only become clearer as the story continues, especially after he realizes that the Quirkless Pro Hero Sleeper Hit (who is seven ranks above him) is none other than his former friend Midoriya.

* ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'': Beavis and Butt-Head always expect people to bend over backwards for them, no matter how ridiculous their requests are. They are promptly disappointed when they don't.

-->'''Bart:''' What right do you have to complain [about an episode of ''Itchy and Scratchy'']?\\

** On a grander scale, there's also Amity's mother [[AbusiveParents Odalia]] and [[Characters/TheOwlHouseEmperorBelos Emperor Belos]] who engage in an AllTakeAndNoGive relation to others and are so narcissistic that despite promising to keep their word and is pleased when people fulfill their agreement, they absolutely lose it when others want them to uphold their word or in Belos' case if someone [[DisproportionateRetribution merely questions him]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': In her first few appearances, [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]] was [[ItsAllAboutMe completely occupied with her own issues and had little to no regard for the problems or feelings of others]], like when she was obsessed with getting her top student title from Willow for cheating even though the latter was struggling in class and Amity nearly got Luz killed over it. She also didn't care about making Luz give up her dream of becoming a witch and possibly mauled her and was more concerned with her own embarrassment at the Covention and how it might [[MoralMyopia ruin her chance of getting into the Emperor's Coven]] and despite everything she's done, calls Luz a bully over a misunderstanding without [[OneSideOfTheStory even trying to talk or listen to Luz's perspective of those events]].

Fortunately, she grows out of this.

* ComicBook/TheKingpin from ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'' has a lot of this in his character and will pull DisproportionateRetribution on people who deny him his way. The Ultimate version was worse, ordering Franchise/SpiderMan's school blown up while class was in session after Daredevil threatened to kill his wife. And during the threat, he kept pleading with Daredevil that he had done nothing wrong because it "wasn't personal" despite the fact that in the Ultimate continuity, Kingpin was the one who killed Daredevil's father. Made worse in triplicate by the fact that it was Spider-Man who talked Daredevil down. That's right, [[MoralEventHorizon The Kingpin was going to bomb a school full of teenagers to punish the guy who saved his wife from death right in front of his eyes.]]

* Franchise/SpiderMan's greatest and best-hidden foe does this quite often. Who is he? J. Jonah Jameson. He manages to publicly badmouth and ridicule him on a daily basis, has created two supervillains (the infamous Scorpion as well as C-lister The Human Fly) and a few evil robots in his quest to kill Spidey, gets into all sorts of fights and kidnappings by Spidey's other foes (who are jealous of him), and Spider-Man always, ''always'' pulls his bacon out of the fire... though he does put him in his place with purposely embarrassing rescues. He even gets to become the Mayor of New York, despite how often he's printed complete garbage about Spider-Man that he's later had to retract when it turned out that, yes, it really was Mysterio or Chameleon, and despite the fact he's known to have sponsored the creation of Scorpion, the Human Fly and the Spider-Slayers.
