-->'''Clark:''' This city is full of thieves, muggers, murderers, rapists, landlords, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking philatelists]]...

* PlayedForLaughs in ComicBook/TheTick, where [[SerialNumbersFiledOff Clark Oppenheimer]] explains to the Tick that the city is his to protect.

* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' offers an unusual example in the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWrM-eDxTas Inside of every demon is a rainbow]]: [[AllLovingHero Charlie]] sings a list of the horrible people in Hell, but it is in the context of explaining that they all have good in them, and she's there to help them be redeemed.

* Former UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} director John Brennan, in an interview with Creator/{{MSNBC}}, commented on the January 2021 Capitol Riot with one of these. A clip can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnA-ghhW_WI HERE]].

* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'': "Give me your perps, your muties, your psychos..."

* ''Film/TaxiDriver''. Really, Travis Bickle does this a lot during the movie, but the quotation above is the most famous.
* Frollo's description of the Feast of Fools, from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}.''
-->Thieves and cutpurses, the dregs of humankind, all mixed together in a shallow drunken stupor...

* From ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'':
--> "The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!'... and I'll look down, and whisper 'No.'"

* In both the [[Film/AlicesRestaurant film]] and the song titled ''Music/AlicesRestaurant'', Arlo Guthrie presents a list of the people he met in prison: [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs "mother rapers... father stabbers... father rapers"]], before reminding the audience that he was simply there for littering.
* Early in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', a house-elf by the name of Kreacher rants about how Sirius Black is not as strict about the company he keeps as Walburga Black was.
-->Mudblood, werewolves, traitors, thieves. If my poor mistress knew the scum they let into her house, what would she say to old Kreacher?
* In ''Film/FullMetalJacket'', Gunnery Sergeant Hartman informs the recruits that there is no racial bigotry under his command, he does not look down on "niggers, kikes, wops or greasers". They are all equally worthless.

* Connor and Murphy's "kill 'em all" speech from ''Film/TheBoondockSaints''.
-->'''Connor:''' You know what I think is psycho, Roc? It's decent men with loving families. They go home every day after work and they turn on the news, and you know what they see? They see rapists and murderers and child molesters. They're all getting out of prison.\\
'''Murphy:''' Mafiosos. Getting caught with twenty kilos. Getting out on bail the same fucking day!\\
'''Connor:''' And everywhere, everybody thinks the same thing...that someone should just go kill those motherfuckers.\\
'''Murphy:''' Kill 'em all. Admit it. Even you've thought of it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamByGaslight'', Jack the Ripper has one of these. While his main target is "whores", that's just the first step in wiping all the scum of the streets, which apparently includes immigrants and illiterates.
* In ''Film/{{PCU}}'', EvilReactionary Rand provides a list of StrawmanU stereotypes as he's having a VillainousBreakdown. Unfortunately, he doesn’t realize the mic Droz is holding [[IsThisThingStillOn is still on]]. Made even funnier, because the [[UsefulNotes/SignLanguage sign language translator is signing]] all of Rand’s slurs.
-->'''Rand:''' Hey, poor boy, go and have your parties with all you new friends. I can see it now, Andrews. You and all the knee-jerk bleeding heart liberals sipping tea and playing patty-cake, and [[NewAgeRetroHippie those useless hippie potheads]], [[DirtyCommunists those commie-pinko leftists]], [[AnimalWrongsGroup the bunny huggers]], the pillow biters--\\
'''Droz:''' Wait—which ones are the pillow biters?\\
'''Rand:''' [[CampGay The butt pirates]]! And [[StrawFeminist those beastly man-haters]]—tell those chicks to shave their pits and call me. And [[MalcolmXerox the whiny crybaby minorities]]. You can keep 'em all.\\
'''Droz:''' ''([[IsThisThingStillOn turns Rand around to show everyone is listening to him]])'' Rand [=McPherson=] everyone! Remember the 4:00 show is completely different from the 12:00 show.
* From ''Film/ThePunisher2004'', we get Frank's last spoken words of the film:
-->"Those who do evil to others: the killers, rapists, psychos and sadists. You will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me.....the Punisher.
* ''Film/TheHolyOffice'': The inquisitor listing the people they persecute, including people who follow the Old Law of Moses and the sects of Muhammad and Luther.

* ''Literature/TheLongDarkTeatimeOfTheSoul'' has "the muggers and pushers and pimps and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking hamburger salesmen]]" who hang around King's Cross Station.

* In the ''Literature/{{Temps}}'' story "Pitbull Britain" by Creator/KimNewman, a satire based on assuming everything the ''Daily Mail'' says is actually true, the forces of evil behind the miners' strike are a "Consortium of South American dictators, Marxist ideologies, organised crime figures, Irish Republicans, hippie drug-fiends, Japanese businessmen, KGB hardliners, French pastry-chefs, Middle Eastern Mullahs, Nazi mad scientists, shapechanging vampire paranorms, Labour Party politicians and anarchist agitators".
* In the opening scene of ''Literature/AConfederacyOfDunces'', the main character, having been challenged by a policeman who thinks he is loitering, reels off a list of the kinds of people the police ''should'' be focusing on:
-->This city is famous for its gamblers, prostitutes, exhibitionists, anti-Christs, alcoholics, sodomites, drug addicts, fetishists, onanists, pornographers, frauds, jades, litterbugs, and lesbians, all of whom are only too well protected by graft.
* Of course, ''Literature/{{Victoria}}'' is full of these, from the oft-repeated description of multiculturalism and city life as "drugs, noise and dirt" to city-dwellers, "the pimps and the prostitutes and the dealers and the thugs." Along with followers of all manner of liberal causes. UnfortunateImplications abound, particularly given the book's heavy-handed treatment of race.

* From ''God's Away on Business'' by Music/TomWaits...
-->There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room.
-->The poor, the lame, the blind.
-->Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
-->Killers, thieves, and lawyers.

* Music/TheClash's "Red Angel Dragnet" borrows heavily from ''Film/TaxiDriver'', including Travis' famous speech.

* ''VideoGame/TorinsPassage'' has the crystal keeper saying the following line: "The Lands Below are full of nutsos! Malcontents! Psychos! [[TakeThat Politicians]]!"

-->...the flag-burners, the faggots, the fairies, the filth peddlers, the Fabian Socialists of yore, the fair-weather friends, the fairies, the faithless, the flesh-show operators, the flotsam and jetsam of the universities, the fairies, the folk singers, the fairies, the freaks, the fairies, the free-loaders on welfare, the fairies, the free-speechers with their favorite four-letter word, the fairies...

!! Examples:

-->I've got thugs, drug dealers, and deviants of all kinds trying to get into my school.
-->I want the name of every hoodlum, drug dealer, and miscreant who's done nothing but take this place apart on my desk by noon today.

-->'''Connor:''' You know what I think is psycho, Roc? It's decent men with loving families. They go home every day after work and they turn on the news, and you know what they see? They see rapists and murderers and child molesters. They're all getting out of prison.
-->'''Murphy:''' Mafiosos. Getting caught with twenty kilos. Getting out on bail the same fucking day!
-->'''Connor:''' And everywhere, everybody thinks the same thing...that someone should just go kill those motherfuckers.
-->'''Murphy:''' Kill 'em all. Admit it. Even you've thought of it.

-->'''Rand''': Hey, poor boy, go and have your parties with all you new friends. I can see it now, Andrews.

'''Droz''': ''[[[IsThisThingStillOn turns Rand around to show everyone is listening to him]]]'' Rand [=McPherson=] everyone! Remember the 4:00 show is completely different from the 12:00 show.

--->"Those who do evil to others: the killers, rapists, psychos and sadists. You will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me.....the Punisher.

-->Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, [[ValuesDissonance nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,]] nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

-->''"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."''

** "A more humane Mikado" does something similar.

--> "The bums and the tweakers, the ones with GRID[[note]] Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency, an ad hoc term for what we now know as AIDS; this game takes place in TheEighties, so [[ScienceMarchesOn even science hadn't quite understood it]] and [[ValuesDissonance public perception was as bad as you might think.]] [[/note]] and the child prostitute runaways, they'll eventually come back to the tunnels. They always do. It can have them, for all I care. Nobody wants them around. Except maybe that thing. And I tell you what; I hope to god it never gets tired of 'em."

* Karl Marx writes of 1852 Paris in ''In The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte:

* In ''Our Gang'', Creator/PhilipRoth's satirical books about the Nixon administration, the Vice President's speeches are nothing but alliterating lists of these, parodying UsefulNotes/SpiroAgnew's fondness for alliteration.

-> "The bums and the tweakers, the ones with GRID[[note]] Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency, an ad hoc term for what we now know as AIDS; this game takes place in TheEighties, so [[ScienceMarchesOn even science hadn't quite understood it]] and [[ValuesDissonance public perception was as bad as you might think.]] [[/note]] and the child prostitute runaways, they'll eventually come back to the tunnels.

* In the Literature/PhilipMarlowe novel ''The Little Sister'', Marlowe monologues about how Los Angeles has lost its soul:
