* In ''Film/WEIRDWorld'', Dr. Abby O'Reardon takes revenge on [[spoiler:Dr. Bryan Mayhew for his frequent betrayals]] by using him as a test subject for her [[FountainOfYouth prototype youth serum]]. After making the mistake of leaving the area in the belief that the serum didn't work, he eventually returns to the lab as a child, getting steadily younger by the minute, and clearly terrified as there's no antidote that can save him. [[TheDogBitesBack Abby is nothing short of triumphant]], mockingly babying him for a while before getting down to business.

* ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'': In "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho056AxisOfInsanity Axis Of Insanity]]," the Overseer of the Axis has been stripped of his eternal youth and powers as a result of the [[BigBad Jester]]'s coup, leaving him as a [[RapidAging helpless old man]]. When the Jester finally catches up with him in the introduction, he's very clearly amused by the ex-immortal's plight, treating him with mocking faux-concern as he abandons him to slowly die in his throne room.
-->'''The Jester:''' Back in your chair, old man, you need to take it easy. Kick back, relax. I'll see no-one disturbs you... FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! [''EvilLaugh'']

* ''ComicBook/GenerationHope'': British mutant Zeeshan's power liquefies his face and flesh when it first manifests. One of his friends immediately uploads a video of "Sheffield Liquid-Face Boy!", joking that his photo will end up in the "[[FictionalDocument Portraits of Freaks: 500 Mutants You Must See Before They Die]]" book, which Zee had seen before realising he was a mutant himself. [[spoiler:Zee is DrivenToSuicide, believing his life is ruined. It's suggested that his liquefied state might have been a temporary situation until he learned to control his new powers]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Zenith}}'': In Phase IV, the victorious [[EldritchAbomination Lloigor]] spare Dr Michael Peyne from the apocalypse, instead condemning him to a slow DeathByDeaging so he has time to witness all the horror they've unleashed. Once Peyne has regressed to infancy, [[spoiler:Ruby]] arrives to mockingly bid him farewell, cradling him in her arms and cooing over [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody all the memories that he can no longer make sense of]], before taking him out onto the balcony to show him the world he helped create. She then throws him into the air, where he shrinks into a fetus, then an embryo, and then vanishes.

* In [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon/art/Has-Peace-Finally-Returned-at-Long-Last-Ch-10-p3L-992691264 chapter 10 part 3]] of [[https://www.deviantart.com/slifofinadragon SlifofinaDragon]]'s ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'' [[ModernAUFic modern day]] fanfic ''Has Peace Finally Returned at Long Last?'', UsefulNotes/DateMasamune drinks a [[MagicPotion potion]] that transforms him into a horse (as it's a [[EasternZodiac Chinese zodiac]] one) that his and [[UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura Sanada]] [[MisterSeahorse Yukimura]]'s [[FanCreatedOffspring son]] Masa whips up in [[WizardingSchool hex ed]], and one of Masa's friends Honba Hikaru jokes that Masamune would one day make a horse's ass out of himself, earning a swat from Masamune's tail (as depicted in an [[https://www.deviantart.com/misakiyu/art/Horsified-2-1007700836 illustration]] by [[https://www.deviantart.com/misakiyu misakiyu]]).
* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf:'' After [[spoiler:Gregor, Ramsay, Littlefinger, and Euron]] are brought back to life as Champions of Chaos, the Wolf shows he still has just as little respect for them even in their new, powerful state, referring to them as Molehill, Snotling, Feathers and Urine, respectively.
* ''Webcomic/ATaleOfTwoRulers'': {{Inverted|Trope}} with Vaati, who always uses {{Humanshifting}} to hide that he's a mouse-like Minish. As a punishment, Ganondorf publicly destroys the spell and [[https://figmentforms.tumblr.com/post/732271317628420096/part-246-of-a-tale-of-two-rulers-oct-26-2023 mocks]] the sight of his true form while Vaati silently begs people [[DontLookAtMe not to look]].

-->'''Scott Lang:''' ...do you really have those?
* ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar:'' The movie combines this with an odd example of AdmiringTheAbomination. When the five alien women merge together and transform into a GiantWoman in a [[MsFanservice purple bra and miniskirt]], JerkJock Tommy laughs while he ogles her, clearly not taking her seriously, and then asks rather crassly if she "spit(s) or swallow(s)". The giant woman [[PervertRevengeMode responds to this disrespect]] by [[DoNotTauntCthulhu grabbing Tommy]] and [[LiteralManeater eating him alive.]]

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': In ''Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', Edmund encounters a [[TakenForGranite stone lion]] among the [[PastVictimShowcase other petrified victims]] in the courtyard of the White Witch's castle and immediately assumes that it's Aslan. Given that he's at his brattiest, he immediately graffitis the lion's face and says, "Ha, silly old Aslan! How do you like being a stone?!" Notably, doing so doesn't make him feel any better about the situation.

* ''Series/BlackMirror'': In "[[Recap/BlackMirrorUSSCallister USS Callister]]," when Nanette attempts to resist her imprisonment in the simulation, Robert Daly makes [[VirtualRealityWarper his power over the virtual world]] apparent by [[TheBlank removing Nanette's face]] and vocally delighting in her voiceless terror over the course of the next few seconds.
-->Oh dear. You can't see. You can't breathe. Unpleasant, isn't it? Do you submit? You won't die, you know. No one dies in here unless I want them to. I can keep you like this forever if I feel like it. Forever gasping for breath with a mouth that isn't there...

** During "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight Ghost Light]]," Josiah Smith gets back at Reverend Matthews for annoying him all evening by using Light's godlike technology to [[KarmicTransformation turn the anti-evolutionist preacher into an ape]]. Josiah is roaring with laughter throughout the process, particularly since [[ObliviousTransformation Matthews doesn't realize what's happening]] until he notices his increasingly hairy hands and the ensuing devolution is treated as a grotesque spectator sport... up until Josiah gets bored, whereupon Reverend Matthews is fatally chloroformed, then [[TaxidermyIsCreepy stuffed]] and exhibited as ''[[LastDisrespects Homo Victorianus Ineptus]].''
** In the finale of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E12TheSoundOfDrums The Sound Of Drums]]," the Master uses tech borrowed from Professor Lazarus to [[RapidAging painfully age the Doctor into an old man]], taking great delight in leaving him too old and weak to stop the next stage of his masterplan. In "Last Of The Time Lords," the Master continues the torment by making him sleep in a makeshift kennel and gleefully pushing him around in a wheelchair.
** Also in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords Last Of The Time Lords]]," the Master retaliates against a failed rebellion by aging the Doctor ''even further'', gloating all the while until he's been reduced to a withered, shrunken gnome-like creature. To add insult to injury, he keeps the Doctor in a birdcage from then on.

** Early in "[[Recap/FarscapeS03E16RevengingAngel Revenging Angel]]," Crichton loses patience with [[NotSoImaginaryFriend Harvey]]'s attempts to interrupt his AdventuresInComaLand and uses the power of his imagination to turn the neural clone into a cartoon. Not only is Crichton smirking at Harvey's impotent rage throughout this scene, but when Harvey demands that he take the possibility of revenge seriously, Crichton just takes advantage of the cartoon format to [[AnvilOnHead drop a 1000-ton weight on his head]].

** In "Baby Talk," Penelope demands more than two hundred extremely petty wishes from [[OurGeniesAreDifferent Bruce and Baz]] in the space of a single hour, leaving them both exhausted and enraged. As such, when Penelope makes a poorly worded comment about wishing that she could hold her childhood doll "like I used to", Bruce takes immediate revenge by [[JackassGenie granting her "wish"]] and [[BabyMorphEpisode regressing her to infancy]]. While her inner monologue reacts in horror, Bruce scoops baby Penelope into his arms and asks "[[TheDogBitesBack any more wishes, master]]?" in a condescendingly "cute" voice, clearly enjoying the fact that she's too young to speak and therefore can't wish herself back to normal.
** The same episode ends with [[spoiler:a restored Penelope taking revenge for her humiliation by wishing for Bruce to regress for a while, and naturally, she spends the outro gloating about it and mocking him in BabyTalk. Unlike Penelope, baby Bruce doesn't seem to mind.]]

** Early in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIVDNA DNA]]," Lister is accidentally transformed into a chicken when Cat starts futzing with the DNA machine controls. Upon seeing the results, Rimmer not only asks if they really want to turn him back but clucks for his attention and jokes that he still has a beer gut even as a chicken. Shortly afterwards, [[RobotBuddy Kryten]] is accidentally [[HumanityEnsues transformed into a human]] by yet more random button-pressing from Cat, who responds by deadpanning, "you lost your looks."
** Upon finding the [[TimeMaster Time Wand]] in "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIIPetePartI Pete Pt 1]]", Kryten tests it on Kochanski and the Cat, regressing them to about five years old; when they demand to be turned back, he condescendingly reassures them that they're "cute as buttons," before successfully restoring them. His second and third tests leave [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim their hair and clothes stuck at an earlier period in their lives]]: bum-length hair for Kochanski, an afro for Cat, and 70s-era outfits for both. Holly immediately remarks that they [[TakeThat look like the Turkish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest]].

* ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy'': Uncomfortable with the [[BeastMan gorilla body]] he acquired after his EmergencyTransformation, Luther has been careful to wear a trench coat even among his adopted family, but after having it torn open by a falling chandelier and getting exposed before the entire Academy, it's not long before Diego starts needling him over it. As such, once the two of them start arguing again in "[[Recap/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019S01E04 Man On The Moon]]", Diego jabs at Luther's self-esteem by first [[JerkassHasAPoint mocking him for remaining loyal]] to [[AbusiveParents Sir Reginald]] even after he turned him into a "monster," then [[KickTheDog snidely asking if nature documentaries turn him on now]].
* In the FailedPilotEpisode of ''Film/WEIRDWorld'', Dr Abby O'Reardon takes revenge on [[spoiler:Dr Bryan Mayhew for his frequent betrayals]] by using him as a test subject for her [[FountainOfYouth prototype youth serum]]. After making the mistake of leaving the area in the belief that the serum didn't work, he eventually returns to the lab as a child, getting steadily younger by the minute, and clearly terrified as there's no antidote that can save him. [[TheDogBitesBack Abby is nothing short of triumphant]], mockingly babying him for a while before getting down to business.
-->Awwww, I know, I know, nasty mommy. But it's gonna be okay, [[spoiler:Bri-Bri]]: you see, there ''is'' an antidote that stops the process. [[ILied I kinda lied about that]]. You know what? Under the circumstances, I think it's gonna work out just fine. You see, now I'm not gonna have to stop my research. The first thing we ''are'' going to change is [[RaiseHimRightThisTime this behavior]]: when I get done with you, young man, you are going to be kind and respectful. We are going to be the perfect little family! Mommy is going to be a very important Nobel Prize-winning scientist and ''you'' are going to be her happy little boy!

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': When Link is transformed into a Deku by the Skull Kid, he reacts with horror upon gazing at his reflection in the water. The Skull Kid just laughs at his transformation.

** ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'': Midna is transformed back into her imp form by the witch Cia. When they meet again, Cia taunts Midna that she much prefers said form, prompting the Twilight Princess to punch her and knock her mask off.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelsAvengers'', after finding a video that [[spoiler:[[{{Superdickery}} apparently]] depicts Captain America in a less-than-positive light]], the tensions between his fellow Avengers [[Franchise/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce]] and [[Franchise/IronMan Tony]] build to both of them starting a vicious argument with each other, until Bruce loses his temper and starts HulkingOut. Tony, being [[DeadpanSnarker Tony]], and having SeenItAll in regards to superhuman weirdness, doesn't show any fear of the Hulk, and just keeps laying into his civilian identity:
-->'''Tony:''' What's the matter, Bruce? [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry I make you angry]]? See, that's always been your problem! Running from who you are! ''What'' you are! Maybe ''that's'' why [[BigBad Monica]] got the better of you! (''the fully transformed Hulk furiously roars at Tony and grabs in a NeckLift'') I was just [[JerkassHasAPoint agreeing with you]], big guy. ''[[CowardiceCallout That Banner's a coward]]!''
* In both versions of ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Resident Evil]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake 4]]'', Leon mocks the transformations of the various villains, but the ones aimed at Krauser take on a more biting tone in both.

* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Initially after her boyfriend is turned into a squirrel, Lois is polite enough to not do this. Once she turns into a bobcat, however, it becomes much more common as RomanticRibbing; [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2019/11/04/repetition/ Marion immediately pushes it by]] turning around her SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay from earlier, and from then on the two frequently jab the other about the GenderBender and PredatorPreyFriendship they now share.

[[folder:Web Video]]
* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'':
** Before Zarbon transforms during his first fight against Vegeta, he tells him that he is very different in his more monstrous form. Once he's finished HulkingOut (and shouting "IMA RAPE YA, BITCH!"), [[BullyingADragon Vegeta snidely remarks that he isn't all that different]], which gets him beaten to within an inch of his life. In their second encounter, Vegeta takes the form more seriously.
** While most of the forms Freeza takes over the course of the battle are treated as genuinely intimidating, his third form is immediately teased for how similar it is to [[Film/{{Alien}} a certain other alien]], with Piccolo outright remarking that "Creator/RidleyScott's gonna sue someone." Everybody agrees that they've tired of it when Freeza asks, right before he assumes his fourth and final form. In Kai Abridged, the third form is further mocked by being skipped entirely.
* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'':
** In "Shadow vs. Vegeta", Vegeta goes Super Saiyan to prove how much more powerful he is than Shadow. In response, Shadow becomes Super Shadow. Vegeta can only respond by calling Shadow a rip-off, not intimidated or impressed in the slightest.
** In a CallBack to the former, the "Silver vs. Trunks" episode has Trunks calling Silver a rip-off when Silver becomes Super Silver. [[spoiler:Unlike his father though, this mockery eventually gets Trunks killed as Silver overpowers him.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'': In "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E2BeautyAndTheBeet Beauty And The Beet]]", Reginald Bushroot devises a way for ducks to gain nourishment from sunlight and even tests this theory on himself... but he soon discovers he's turned into a plant/duck hybrid. His coworkers immediately make fun of his new form, chanting "Reggie's a veggie!" repeatedly.

-->'''Amy:''' Dad, if you're gonna make fat jokes 'til I get cute again, I'm just gonna stay in my room!
-->'''Leo:''' Stay in room? You so fat, you gonna stay ''all around'' room!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In the ''WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror'' short "I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did", the Simpsons discover that Ned Flanders is a werewolf. He promptly transforms in front of them and drools on Homer's shirt, prompting him to quip "Hey wolfy, I want the news, not the weather!"

->''BENNY! Sometimes I blind you and permit you to wander like an eyeless insect in a world of death. But other times, I wither your arms so you can't scratch your chewed stump of a nose. ''[laughs]'' And... and I've changed your handsome, strong, masculine good looks into the hideous warped countenance of... an ape thing! Haven't I, Benny? Do you know why? Can you ''guess,'' Benny?''

Given that the transformed character is usually left weakened in some way, it's quite rare for the victims of the transformation to be able to retaliate against the insults, even if they've become something that can [[TheDogBitesBack literally bite back]]... though there ''are'' a few exceptions involving generous amounts of LaserGuidedKarma and BullyingADragon, especially if the new form turns out to be stronger than it looks. However, even if no immediate retribution is on offer, if it's a hero or innocent that's fallen victim to this trope, there's a good chance they'll get to turn the tables and [[LaserGuidedKarma transform their mocking audience]] later in the story.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': After Kaku transforms into a giraffe man thanks to the Devil Fruit, Usopp, Zoro and even [[VitriolicBestBuds Jabra]] immediately laugh and mock him. However, despite his ridiculous-looking form, it turns out that he's an extremely powerful combatant [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower because of it]], leaving all three of them eating their words soon after when Kaku kicks the Tower of Justice in half.

* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf:'' After [[spoiler:Gregor, Ramsay, Littlefinger, and Euron]] are brought back to life as Champions of Chaos, the Wolf shows he still has just as little respect for them even in their new, powerful state, referring to them as Molehill, Snotling, Feathers and Urine respectively.

* ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'': Shortly after realizing that he's been accidentally shrunk down to fairy size, Zak immediately demands that [[IneptMage Crysta]] restore him to normal height. To her credit, she ''tries,'' but only manages to expand different parts of Zak's body so that he ends up looking like an increasingly comical array of animals until she finally runs out of energy, and throughout this scene, the slightly crazed Batty Coda (who hates humans) is treating the whole thing like a game of charades. And when Crysta offers to try again, Batty gleefully encourages her, much to Zak's horror.

** Not long afterwards, Luke is given an overdose of the potion and also transforms before the gathered witches. Not only do they laugh at him throughout, but [[TransformationDiscretionShot the scene is shot from Luke's perspective]], resulting in grotesque POV shots of the increasingly gigantic witches reaching out to push him down, concluding with the Grand High Witch herself mockingly waving goodbye as he [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing shrinks backwards into his enormous clothes]].

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': In ''Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', Edmund encounters a [[TakenForGranite stone lion]] among the [[PastVictimShowcase other petrified victims]] in the courtyard of the White Witch's castle, and immediately assumes that it's Aslan. Given that he's at his brattiest, he immediately graffities the lion's face and says, "Ha, silly old Aslan! How do you like being a stone?!" Notably, doing so doesn't make him feel any better about the situation.

** During "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight Ghost Light]]," Josiah Smith gets back at Reverend Matthews for annoying him all evening by using Light's godlike technology to [[KarmicTransformation turn the anti-evolutionist preacher into an ape]]. Josiah is roaring with laughter throughout the process, particularly since [[ObliviousTransformation Matthews doesn't realize what's happening]] until he notices his increasingly hairy hands, and the ensuing devolution is treated as a grotesque spectator sport... up until Josiah gets bored, whereupon Reverend Matthews is fatally chloroformed, then [[TaxidermyIsCreepy stuffed]] and exhibited as ''[[LastDisrespects Homo Victorianus Ineptus]].''

To add insult to injury, he keeps the Doctor in a birdcage from then on.

Shortly afterwards, [[RobotBuddy Kryten]] is accidentally [[HumanityEnsues transformed into a human]] by yet more random button-pressing from Cat, who responds by deadpanning, "you lost your looks."

* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E23TheThaw The Thaw]]", an attempt to rescue a group of civilians from a VR simulator gets Harry Kim captured by the MonsterClown created by their combined fears. While Janeway struggles to rescue him, the Clown uses his [[VirtualRealityWarper power over the simulation]] to make Harry's own fears come true: first, he ages him into an old man, teasing him over how he can't stand the idea of being dependent, while allowing his circus to force-feed Harry medicine; then, noticing that Harry fears helplessness and being seen as the baby of the crew, he regresses him to infancy, teasing him with BabyTalk as the infant Harry screams in distress.

-->Awwww, I know, I know, nasty mommy. But it's gonna be okay, [[spoiler:Bri-Bri]]: you see, there ''is'' an antidote that stops the process. [[ILied I kinda lied about that]]. You know what?

* ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons'': [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. Eric is transformed into a Bog Beast by a magic flower's pollen. He is then welcomed by other Bog Beasts as a hero of legend come to save them from a giant who had stopped up their water with a dam. After the kids defeat the giant, and the giant's talisman transforms Eric back into a human, the Bog Beasts lament that their hero was now cursed to be so ugly.

* ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'': In the episode "[[Recap/MenInBlackTheSeriesS2E9TheFmallFmallWorldSyndrome The Fmall, Fmall World Syndrome]]" the Fmecks, a tiny alien race, seek a growth formula to make them human size as part of their planned conquest of Earth. One of their members, [[ButtMonkey Fmelvin]], gets separated from his squad but manages to find the formula all by himself. First, he manages to grow human size, but when he loses a fight to Agent L, he drinks more formula to become [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever kaiju size]]. When he returns to his mothership to reveal how big he gotten, all the other Fmecks laugh at him because he is now "way too big". [[BullyingADragon It turns out mocking his new size was a bad idea]], as an enraged Fmelvin knocks the Fmeck mothership to its side before going off to wreck New York City just to deny the Fmecks their new home.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'': In "[[Recap/TheRealGhostbustersS5E8ThreeMenAndAnEgon Three Men and an Egon]]", Egon starts [[MerlinSickness aging backwards]]... and Peter being Peter, he responds to the ongoing emergency with his usual smartass remarks. For example, when Egon is regressed into a BrattyHalfPint of around six, Peter snarks that he isn't looking forward to Egon's terrible twos -- and then when he turns into a baby, Peter just jokes that he did it on purpose to get out of kitchen duty.

* In [[Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaAkiraHimekawa the manga adaptation]] of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', Link is temporarily turned into a wolf-like monster by the Dark World's magic when he gives into his hatred for Agahnim. Agahnim laughs at the helpless hero for his new form and the fact that he can no longer hold the Master Sword.

* ''Film/AntmanAndTheWasp:'' When a suit malfunction causes Scott to shrink to the size of a 4-year-old child, Hank and Hope playfully tease him about his predicament, much to his annoyance.

Needless to say, this is a tactic most commonly employed by villains, anti-heroes, and flat-out {{Jerkass}}es, especially if they're directly responsible for the transformation in the first place - doubly so if it was intended as a form of torture or even [[TerminalTransformation murder]].
