** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseMarkRussell Mark Russell]] is so full of self-pity and anger over his son's death, he makes the rest of TheTeam, the very people whom are currently trying to find his kidnapped ex-wife and daughter, the recipients of his {{misdirected outburst}}s over his son's death, and he at one point even directly accuses them of forgetting about his ex-wife and daughter out of pure anger. Not a very nice thing to do when the difference between getting your family back safely and never seeing them alive again is dependent ''entirely'' on these people.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseHumans Apex Cybernetics]] are this overall with their plot to to kill Godzilla and usurp his dominance using Mechagodzilla. They don't give a damn that Godzilla is the chief reason why all their worthless troublemaking asses along with the rest of humanity weren't all killed by King Ghidorah in [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 the previous film]] -- to Apex, Godzilla's in the way of their EvilPlan to enslave or exterminate all the Titans on Earth so they'll be in control of everything, and their chief technology officer Ren personally wants to kill Godzilla because of daddy issues.

* At the end of ''{{WesternAnimation/Dinosaur}}'', when Aladar finds out that Kron is planning on making the Herd continue to use the old entrance to the Nesting Grounds, now blocked off by a huge landslide, by literally making them all climb over the ravine, which will put many of their lives at risk, and persuades them all to take the safer, new entrance to the Nesting Grounds Aladar and his friends found while still trapped inside the cave, Kron refuses to listen to him and tries to kill him. And then when the Carnotaurus arrives and attacks the Herd, while Aladar encourages the Herd to "stand together" to fight back against the Carnotaurus, Kron on the other hand proceeds to scale the ravine alone, thus grabbing the Carnotaurus' attention. Aladar and Neera, Kron's sister then try to get Kron to safety, but Kron still refuses to listen to them, and as a result Kron is killed by the Carnotaurus anyway, which after one final battle, is sent falling to its death in the ravine below.

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
** Barnyard Dog's whole role from the short "Daffy Duck Hunt" amounts to this. His plan to catch WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck relied on being ungrateful by making him take pity on him through his claims that Porky would abuse him if he didn't get him and with the promise that if he plays dead and hands himself over, he would release him afterwards. Sure enough, Daffy is uncharacteristically compassionate and plays along which ends with Porky putting the supposedly dead duck on ice. This suddenly makes the dog feel conflicted (in typical cartoony [[GoodAngelBadAngel angel-devil]] fashion) about betraying the one who helped him which makes him act on impulse and take him out of the freezer only to get a little warmth without even asking himself what is the point since he doesn't plan to let him go, but then he gives the answer on his own and blocks all exits, ultimately playing it straight.
** In the Babbit and Catstello short "Tale of Two Mice", Babbit orders Catstello to get him some cheese, even though the latter is frightened of the cat just outside and almost got killed by it. After Catstello nearly gets killed by the cat several more times, he finally gets Babbit the cheese he wants. Then Babbit tells him it's Swiss cheese, which Catstello ''knows'' he doesn't like. For Catstello, this is the last straw; [[TheDogBitesBack he slaps Babbit silly and starts literally shoving chunks of the cheese down his throat, telling Babbit he's gonna learn to like it]].
--->'''Catstello:''' ''[[[BreakingTheFourthWall looking into the camera with remorse]]]'' Ohhh, I'm a baaad boy!
** In "WesternAnimation/AliBabaBunny", Daffy's response to WesternAnimation/BugsBunny pretending to be a genie and saving him from Hassan's anger is to mock the rabbit's phony spell instead of saying "thank you". When Bugs saves him a second time, Daffy runs back to the cave to claim the treasure without a word of gratitude. He gets his comeuppance, however, when he discovers a lamp with a real genie inside and accuses the genie of trying to steal the treasure, trying to forcibly shove him into the lamp.
--->'''Genie:''' Duck, you have desecrated the spirit of the lamp! Prepare to take the consequences!\\
'''Daffy:''' Consequences shmonsequences, as long as I'm rich.
** In "WesternAnimation/WellWornDaffy", WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales and his mouse amigos are quite thirsty, but they spot a well full of water in an oasis, which, unfortunately, is jealously guarded by Daffy, who not only refuses to share the water, but who manages at every turn to foil the mice's attempts to take it. In the end, he decides to leave the oasis, taking some of the water for himself and his camel and [[IfICantHaveYou blowing up the well with dynamite to deprive the mice of their needed water once and for all]]. [[OhCrap However, Speedy manages to tie the lit dynamite to Daffy's camel's tail as they leave.]] With Daffy gone, the mice start drinking the water from the well, hooking the hose up to the well to get at it more easily. Daffy and his camel return, quite thirsty and pleading for water, just as Speedy and his friends had done. Speedy is happy to oblige Daffy -- by playfully spraying the water in his face with the hose. Daffy is none too pleased.
--->'''Daffy:''' There's only one thing worse than a smart mouse, and that's ''three'' smart mice!

* Gaston, from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', stabs the Beast moments after the Beast decides to let him go (rather than dropping him off the roof). Admittedly, the Beast wasn't actually saving him, but he was sparing him when he didn't really have to, so it's still pretty bastardly. [[KarmicDeath It was also the very last act he ever committed.]]

After Peter Pan wins the sword duel with Hook on the condition that he doesn't fly, by instead jumping and tying him up in with his own pirate flag, Hook [[VillainsWantMercy begs for mercy]] and Peter agrees to spare his life and let him leave Never Land on the condition that he never returns, but not without forcing him to call himself a codfish out loud to humiliate him.

* In "WesternAnimation/ThePiedPiper", the city of Hamlen is swarming with rats. The mayor and his citizens are desperate to rid their city of rats. The titular piper helps them solve their rat problem by luring the rats out Hamlen with his magic pipe. Being the nasty people they turn out to be, the mayor and people have every nerve to mock the piper. They dismiss his efforts as a silly feat for playing a tune, insisting that the rats left their city by their own accord. The mayor reneges giving the piper the bag of gold he offered as a reward and tosses him only one coin. The piper immediately takes revenge by leading the citizens' children out of Hamlen.
