* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': Had almost nothing ''but'' these for Dale Stuckey during his run. Perhaps the ultimate example of this towards him was in "Zebras" where he (having already screwed up an open-and-shut case) made a comment that provoked Stabler into angrily shoving him. When he complained about it, Cragen simply blew him off.

* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'': "Deja Vu All Over Again" zig-zags it with Joxer. When super fan Annie learns she's the reincarnation of Joxer instead of Xena, she's devastated—calling him a comic relief idiot that never should've been introduced. By the end, though, she comes to terms with it—saying that Joxer (for all his faults) was a guy with a big heart who'd do anything to help his friends.

* ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'': Kim does get plenty of slapsticky comeuppance to make up for how annoying she is. She gets publicly embarrassed when she tries to out the girls' secret, catches the measles, gets sprayed with a garden sprinkler and is dumped by Elliot for being too bossy.

** Those who think of Charlie Matheson as TheScrappy probably cheered every time Miles Matheson chewed her out ("[[Recap/RevolutionS1E5SoulTrain Soul Train]]"), and when Drexel punched her in the face hard enough to leave a mark ("[[Recap/RevolutionS1E6SexAndDrugs Sex and Drugs]]"). In "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E12Ghosts Ghosts]]", Rachel Matheson ends up slapping Charlie, but by that point, viewers seemed to become so accepting of Charlie that Rachel ended being the unsympathetic one.

** On the first season of Piper Shaw was among the most hated characters on the show, seeming to serve little purpose in the plot except as a RedHerring. [[spoiler:As such, it wasn't hard to [[IKnewIt figure out that she was the killer]] several episodes before TheReveal, which wasn't helped by her backstory and motive being very similar to ''Film/{{Scream 3}}''[='=]s Roman, himself the most hated killer in the film franchise.]] The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-6vLCO7vRU very first seven minutes]] of the second season wasted little time making fun of her.

*** The first ''Flash'' episode after ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'' has Iris throw shade on [[spoiler:[[Series/{{Arrow}} Oliver and Felicity]] hijacking her and Barry's wedding]]. For further hilarity, Barry doesn't even try to defend them, silently agreeing with her and announcing that [[spoiler:he's putting their wedding gift (which wasn't even on Barry and Iris' wedding registry anyway) into the "return" pile]]. Think of it on a Meta level, [[spoiler: that ''[[MorePopularSpinoff The Flash]]'' isn't too happy with ''Arrow'' either. Looks like some drama is unfolding in the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''.]]
** ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': The episode "Doomworld" sees [[spoiler:a brainwashed Sara Lance break the neck of resident ''Arrow'' BaseBreakingCharacter Felicity Smoak in the alternate timeline.]]



** ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX'' also saw fan-favorite villain Eobard Thawne give a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Felicity Smoak by revealing that ''no one'' remembers her in the heroic tales of Green Arrow, Black Canary, and the Flash.

** ''Series/{{Arrow}}'':
*** In "Level Two", Future Dinah tells William that [[spoiler:Felicity is dead]]. It is safe to say the fan response the writers were expecting was not cheers and celebrations, prayers that it eventually comes to pass, or flat-out questioning why that's a bad thing.
*** During the Arrow episode of the ''Series/Elseworlds2018'' crossovers, Cisco bragging that Iris was immediately able to intuit that Barry Allen, whether in the body of the Arrow or the Flash, was the true love of her life due to being [[TrueLoveIsExceptional soul mates]], while Felicity, who had interrupted [[SuperCouple Barry and Iris']] wedding to tack on hers and Oliver's, to both The West-Allen's and the audience's chagrin, couldn't tell the difference between Barry/Oliver and Oliver/Barry, while looking hurt, seems to be both this, and [[AuthorsSavingThrow an apology from the writers]] for said hated interruption from the previous years [[Series/CrisisOnEarthX Crossover]].

* ''Series/TwentyFour'':
** The lackluster seventh season does have one very nice moment late on where Jack Bauer gives a verbal smackdown to local bitch Janis Gold when her bitchiness gets a bit too much for everyone.
** Then there was SmugSnake Marianne Taylor, who was despised by pretty much everybody, in and out of universe. So many fans were very happy when she was shot to death.



* A rare example where this is done to a ScrappyMechanic. Many of the contestants hated the random Cashword game that would appear in ''Series/{{Password}}''. Betty White in particular hated the Cashword game, and during the finale, ''demolished'' the toaster that was used as a prop for the game.

* While fellow Scrappies [[spoiler:Bela, Jo, and Metatron]] on ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' all found either sufficient [[AlasPoorScrappy pity]] or [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap redemption]] in the eyes of enough fans to escape this fate, [[spoiler:the demon Ruby]] most definitely did not, starting an [[SmugSnake especially smug]] round of EvilGloating before quickly suffering a short but painful death on the end of their own WeaponOfChoice as their UnwittingPawn turns on them to assist in their death and their killer adds insult to injury by literally twisting the knife in the wound in what is easily the most drawn-out kill of many kills with that weapon. While their EvilPlan was ultimately successful, the fans were still thrilled by [[spoiler:the Winchesters brothers reconciling long enough to kill her]] and list it as the SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome of the episode.

** Ryan's "fuck off Courtney" comment.
** Although it comes before Courtney's worse deeds, Mrs. Baker gets a good one in on her too. She walks by the memorial to Hannah and icily tells Courtney that Hannah didn't like the flowers she's picked - essentially telling her that she would know that if she actually had been friends with her daughter.
** Kat also refers to Bryce as "frat boy Darth Vader".
** Laura, a minor character who is a lesbian, tells Bryce that she would never get involved with him and would call the police on him after he sleazily hits on her.
** Marcus getting snarked at by Clay, Alex and Monty during the Honor Council hearing.
** While she's no more than a BaseBreakingCharacter, Alex gets a good dig on Hannah in the third episode of Season 2. A flashback to the night she found out he and Jessica were dating has him snark "not everything's always about you, you know".
** In Sheri's return in Season 2, Mr. Porter offers help. She responds by snarking that she'll come and see him if she's ever raped.
** Alex pulling a gun on Monty during the group's confrontation with him in "The Box of Polaroids".
