* Pretty much every single character that Series/{{Blackadder}} interacts with fits this bill, unless he/she is higher status than him. Baldrick is the shining example, though, seeing as he's in every single series.

* Pretty much every single character that Series/{{Blackadder}} interacts with fits ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'': If there's such a thing as a Chew Toy Ball, this bill, unless he/she is higher status than him. Baldrick is series has it, and almost everyone who isn't of very high standing (King Richard in ''The Black Adder'', Queenie in ''Blackadder II'', General Melchett in ''Blackadder Goes Forth'') gets hold of it from time to time. Of the shining example, though, seeing as he's in every single series. ones who generally possess it long-term, it's probably most held by Baldrick, followed by Edmund himself and Percy.

* Jason Todd from ''Series/{{Titans}}''. Season 2 has been quite unforgiving with Jason. He gets lied to, made fun of, tossed aside, the adult Titans (except for Dick and Kory) mostly dislike him for his cockyness, and as if all this was not enough, he gets kidnapped, tortured and almost dies at Deathstroke's hands, leaving Jason with a bad case of PTSD. Except for Kory, Rose and Dick, nobody shows any real mercy for his condition. Granted, this trope gets darkly deconstructed at the end of episode 2x07. After getting unfairly accused of things that have nothing to do with him and having Rachel and the former Titans just taking their anger on him, Jason decides to throw himself from the roof, genuinely believing he is the cause to everybody's problems.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/KirbyBuckets'': Poor Dawn. She is always ignored and put down by her parents in favor of Kirby, constantly belittled and humiliated at school, and Kirby himself launched his animation career with a caricature of her as an ugly dinosaur with braces. It's ''no wonder'' she is such a resentful character.
** From Kirby's cartoons we have Scrunch Face, who's always the victim of slapstick violence in random cutaways. Unlike Dawn, Scrunch Face's abuse is played purely for laughs.
