* ''Series/PeepShow'': In "Business Secrets of the Pharaohs" Mark Corrigan is sweet-talked by a bogus literary agent who showers him with insincere flattery for his book proposal. Sensing Mark's vanity and knowing exactly how to appeal to it, he successfully swindles him out of £2,000 for a vanity publishing scam.

* ''Series/MST3K'': In the ''Danger: Death Ray'' episode, [=T.V.'s=] Frank was an agent briefly. Mike called him out on his phoniness when he brushed Crow's script off, but then when Frank says he can get 20 grand per performance of ''Theatre/AnythingGoes'', Mike's [[{{Hypocrite}} dressed in a sailor costume]], singing Music/ColePorter songs.

* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': Akira as a PrivateMilitaryContractor, gets assigned one of these, Hikaru, by his EccentricMentor Kibayashi, which doubles as Kibayashi serving as SinkOrSwimMentor to her because she wanted to work with a higher-level hunter. At first, she thinks it's easy success for her, but soon she enters a non-stop OhCrap panic that Akira doesn't know how to behave within a legal system and could get her fired and kicked out of her home city, and she serves as TheChewToy as a LovableCoward ever after.

* In the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'', a mutant named Solicitor owns a talent agency called Solicitor, Inc. He's helped in his smooth-talking by the fact that his mutant power allows him to know what people want.

* ''Hollywood Pinafore'' parodies Dick Dead-eye from ''Theatre/HMSPinafore'' as Dick Live-eye, a talent agent more than happy to sell anyone on anything just as long as he gets ten percent of whatever they make on it. The eyepatch he wears is purely aesthetic.

* ''Series/{{Frasier}}'': Bebe Glazer could be the patron saint (or devil) of this trope. Frasier's long time agent, she usually showed up once a season when Frasier's radio contract was up. Tellingly, she would often push Frasier to take his show to new heights, getting him guest hosting gigs and segments on talk shows to boost his value. This ran contrary to Frasier's desire to be seen as a legitimate psychiatrist who used his radio show to help people, even as it ran right up against his addiction to fame. In fact, she's done illegal things to try to boost Fraiser's rep, to the point where she's seen as a SatanicArchetype in-universe. To name a couple examples: In one episode she reveals that she convinced a (legitimately) suicidal man Frasier helped into trying to jump off a building just in time for Frasier's negotiations to get a booster shot with him being seen as a hero, and in the GrandFinale Frasier gets a radio gig in San Francisco, and it's not even subtly implied that it's because Bebe ''murdered'' his competition!
