6	* There is a song from ''WebVideo/TheBatterysDown'' in which a Jewish 13-year-old sings about how her bat mitzvah is all about ''her'', so everybody better practically worship her.
7	* ''Series/TheCallOfWarr'': Killsin only really cares about himself and his social status; Ghost Lady even points out that he's a terrible communicator, and isn't even listening to her responses to his uninvited monologue.
8	* ''Website/ChannelAwesome'':
9	** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick pays little attention to any feelings or problems that aren't her own. It's not clear whether she even notices them or just doesn't give a crap.
10	** The cast commentary for WebVideo/SuburbanKnights has them lampshade how selfish and hate-filled their characters all are to each other, although Doug's own commentary calls attention to how they're more like a fucked up but caring family and how Joe still sat down after his BigNo.
11	** One of [[Creator/AllisonPregler Lupa's]] main gripes with ''Charmed'' is the selfishness of the three leads that increase season by season. This is constantly joked about, especially in regards to Phoebe.
12	--->'''Lupa:''' Phoebe, as usual doing something for her favourite person, summons an old and young version of herself to determine whether if she should marry Cole or not.
13	--->'''Lupa:''' Presumably in this universe Phoebe was capable of feeling human emotions not centred on herself.
14	--->'''Lupa:''' If you don't recall, an empath is someone who channels the feelings of other people. This forces Phoebe to think about others which is pretty much the worst that can happen to her.
15	--->'''Lupa's Phoebe voice:''' Love is celebrating two birthdays, right?
16	--->'''Lupa:''' There is only one person who can help her in her time of need. ''Herself.''\
17	'''Phoebe:''' I'm living proof of that, and so is she.\
18	'''Lupa's Phoebe voice:''' Thanks, me. You're my best friend.
19	* The ''[[Creator/{{Dropout}} CollegeHumor]]'' video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMZyZObOB54 Livin' Mask-Free (Music Video)]]" is about a country singer who boasts about his refusal to wear a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic and admitting that he [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't give a crap that his decision will risk more people getting infected by and dying from the virus]].
20	-->'''Singer''': Fuck you! I don't care about all the deaths\
21	Don't care how much I kill with my stupid breath\
22	'Cause I'm coughin' freedom out from sea to sea\
23	But I'm not talkin' about your freedom to live\
24	I mean your freedom to look at all the shits I give\
25	'Cause the only guy I care about is me.
26	* Generally the case with demons in ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', especially when it comes to their treatment of beings.
27	** Regina was [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_972.php quickly established]] to be of this type.
28	** Regina's aunt Kria spells it out [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1288.php here]], she doesn't think about what others think about her because that means that their opinions matter.
29	* Melissa from ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'' only cares about her own wants and own goals. She doesn't care about her boyfriend's plan to revolutionise the world, and would [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness happily ditch him]] once he helped her get what she wants.
30	* If normal Vegeta is bad, the Vegeta of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' is even worse. Vegeta's ego is taken up to eleven where he can't stand the thought of anyone being stronger than him. Even himself.
31	-->''Vegeta senses Cell for the first time''
32	-->'''Vegeta:''' Is that me? Is that me stronger than me!? I'LL [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING]] KILL ME!
33	* The DVD release of ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' contains a commentary track entitled "Commentary: The Musical". One of the songs in the musical is actually titled "It's All About Me", and consists of small sections sung by each of the extras in the production, explaining how it really is all about them...
34	* Dear God, Matt from ''WebAnimation/EddsWorld'' is this trope incarnate. In fact, him being vain to no end was the plot of “Space Face”, where he’s so vain, he’s able to power and ''overload'' a spaceship that runs on the stuff!
35	* The Twilight Sparkle in the universe of ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'' is a totally self-absorbed geek who can't comprehend the fact that the world ''doesn't'' revolve around her. While the series starts off treating this for (comparatively) lighthearted laughs, Twilight's character descends further and further into BlackComedy as it becomes clear just what a morally-bankrupt monster she really is.
36	* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' gives us the now legendary Strong Bad, whose self centered-ness is rivaled only by his self-perceived awesomeness.
37	* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', when Emperor starts to talk about the times after his birth, his listeners both point out that he left out anything not pertaining to him. Though he generally keeps it under check (he ''does'' have an Imperium to run again, after all). Plus, it's nothing compared to Cato Sicarius' own egotism problems, which makes him completely unable to say "I" without following it with his name, and causes him to consider sacrificing his fellow marines acceptable if it brings him glory, and in fact makes him apt to be Marneus Calgar's successor. And he says all the above to his face. Effectively calling his battle brothers unimportant when it comes to personal glory, and more or less wishing death on Calgar, which he notices immediately.
38	* In ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'', Caspian is habitually so self-absorbed that he has difficulty noticing that his slaves had agendas and BackStory. [[http://www.impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/ISSUE07Pages/ib155.html Particularly clear when he gets into a snit]] after Dara's SecretLegacy is revealed, and his only thought is that he should not have bought from {{Pirate}}s.
39	* ''WebAnimation/LetMeExplainStudios'': Rebecca Parham ''loves'' to stroke her ego [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]], which is reflective of her being a show-off while on stage.
40	-->'''Rebecca:''' Well, what did you expect?! You all kept calling me "Queen" on my social media! It was only a matter of time before [[{{Narcissist}} my ego became overblown]], and I tried on the crown for size! You only [[NeverMyFault have yourselves to blame]], darlings.
41	* ''Webcomic/AMagicalRoommate'': Alassa. "Do my homework!"
42	* Enoby Darkness Dementia Raven Way from ''WebVideo/MyImmortalTheWebSeries'', in line with the [[FanFic/MyImmortal original version]] of the character. The trope is subverted as often as it is played straight, however.
43	* In ''WebAnimation/NazoUnleashed'', this is Nazo's motivation for wanting to destroy the Master Emerald, since he can't stand the thought of being AlwaysSecondBest compared to a simple rock.
44	* A couple of characters from ''Franchise/{{Noob}}'' suffer this:
45	** Gaea thinks of her guildmates as human shields, gets away with not contributing to the guild's common fund under the pretense of ([[TheScrooge not really]]) low finances while the very same guildmates are probably worse off than she is. She actually says the following line while explaining what scouting consists of to TheWatson in the webseries : "Your'e supposed to make sure there is no danger for me... I mean us.".
46	** Omega Zell, usually the ButtMonkey, tends to try diverting any kind of positive attention the guild gets to him. He also keeps claiming that he will be soon in the game's best guild despite the fact that he got on its recruitor's bad side, somehow convinced she will forget that he's a {{Jerkass}} StrawMisogynist once she gets to see his talent.
47	* A great amount of the customers featured on ''Website/NotAlwaysRight'' fall into this, as they believe "the customer is always right" means "[[EntitledBastard my satisfaction comes first, everybody else here can go to hell]]". Here's just a few examples of such behavior:
48	** A spectacularly insensitive example [[http://notalwaysright.com/how-to-seize-the-moment/4587 here.]] People having heart attacks actually do deserve precedence over someone who just needs a prescription.
49	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/dont-kick-up-a-fuss-if-your-heart-isnt-in-it/11027 And over people who just want to get off a plane]].
50	** And these two [[http://notalwaysright.com/pinheaded-2/1877 golf]] [[http://notalwaysright.com/always-right-even-when-shooting-down-a-helicopter/2170 course]] examples. Yes, sir, your golf game is more important than someone else's ''life.''
51	** The inversion of AmbulanceChaser above is another horrifying example of this.
52	** A less grave, but no less applicable, edition [[http://notalwaysright.com/fair-trade-waylaid/8141 here]].
53	** What's more urgent business: [[http://notalwaysright.com/deal-with-the-burning-issue-first/6456 cat food or fire?]] Admittedly, the customer apparently thought he was making up the fire to get out of helping her.
54	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/a-serious-case-of-insensitivity-part-2/12879 This one]]. Apparently somebody ''dying right in front of them'' isn't an adequate justification for failing to serve someone else their wine right away.
55	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/attack-of-the-heartless/14421 Could you give that woman CPR somewhere else? I need my ink]].
56	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/of-breath-smoke-and-breast-strokes/5197 This one]], with some hypocritical humor too. Hard not to feel bad for the poor kids.
57	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/driving-miss-crazy/1805 Why do you keep stopping the bus?]]
58	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/wake-up-and-sell-the-coffee/12624 That sucks that you fainted... but my coffee matters more!]]
59	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/smooth-whipped-criminal/3488 This store]] was just robbed at gunpoint... but all that matters to this customer is getting a latte!
60	** A customer dents an employee's car with his car door while picking up drive-thru, and the employee drops his meal in shock. Said customer's reaction? [[http://notalwaysright.com/dingbats-in-the-drive-thru/20354 "You owe me 5 pounds for that meal!"]]
61	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/not-something-to-horse-around-about/21458 "My horse is more important then any accident!"]] Note the horse wasn't even injured, only spooked by fireworks.
62	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/your-911-is-not-a-2-for-1/22703 This woman]] believes that her Porsche gives her the right to take two parking spaces at once and be exempt from any penalties that normally incur.
63	** Taken to the extreme in [[http://notalwaysright.com/always-right-even-when-completely-car-razy/22803 this story]] -- the customer decides that because she can't find a parking space anywhere, it's perfectly acceptable to smash her SUV into a storefront and leave it there. When it's towed away later, she seems to think that it gives her the right to smash the store's interior because she thought they took it. To top it all off, when she's arrested for the property damage and shoplifting, that somehow means that customer service was terrible and she's entitled to a gift card! The store probably lost enough fixing everything already -- if anything, ''she'' should be paying ''them''.
64	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/customers-need-to-give-us-a-break/22651 Yet another example]] of a customer putting [[MustHaveCaffeine caffeine dependency]] over the most basic of common decency.
65	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/painful-showers-bring-mayday-flowers/23250 Your thumb's bleeding and another customer's getting sick?]] Forget that! My flowers are far more important than anyone else's well-being!
66	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/saving-the-earth-7-mpg-at-a-time/2076 This woman]] demands a bookstore employee help her take the books to her car, after refusing bags and being fully aware that the employee is the only one there, needing to attend to other customers as well.
67	** Here's [[http://notalwaysright.com/two-rows-dont-make-a-right/23579 another person]] who thinks they can take up two parking spaces whenever they feel like. Worse yet, they're two handicapped spaces, the man's "handicap" is a broken wrist, and when he's told that he's taking up two spaces, [[{{Jerkass}} he moves his truck so that it takes up even more of the two spaces]]. He got a ticket in the end, though.
68	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/your-urgency-is-not-my-emergency/626 This person]] calls 911 just because their phone was shut off. Never mind how they called in the first place[[note]]If you're curious, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/911_%28emergency_telephone_number%29#Inactive_telephones it's federal law in the US.]][[/note]] -- they fail to understand the true purpose of 911.
69	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/your-urgency-is-not-my-emergency-part-2/24094 This man]] barges into a store after it closed because, as he puts it, it's an emergency. He rushes off after being let in, ignoring the employees who wanted to help him. What does he get? Lube, chips, and wine. To top it all off, he calls the manager impatient for rushing back to help him, like he just can't understand why they might be so.
70	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/its-going-to-be-a-tough-quarter/27738 You might lose your job if you lie about what's in a package?]] If it means ''I'' get to save a quarter, that's totally all right!
71	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/praise-cheeses/27169 This woman literally says that she doesn't care about other customers.]] She follows it up by saying that if the other customers are allergic to meat then that's proof that God wants them to die so that they won't inconvenience her. Thankfully, the elderly lady who is getting her meat cut delivers an epic smack-down to her.
72	** [[https://notalwaysright.com/emerging-non-emergencies-reaching-emergency-levels/76485/ This mother]] goes to the emergency room because her daughter had irregular periods and she had "the zits". Clearly, treating them is way more important than people who, say, had been in a car accident.
73	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/past-the-point-of-no-return-part-2-2/28890 This asshole]] decides that she wants an audio-book another library-goer already reserved, with a sticker on it and everything. What does she do? Rip the sticker off and try to check it out anyway. She manages to kick up a fuss and get the audio book nearly taken away due to it being "broken", but the original reserver manages to set the whole thing straight and get the audio-book checked out under her name. Despite all this, the sticker-ripper has the gall to ask for it anyway!
74	** [[https://notalwaysright.com/maid-of-dishonor/77081/ This bridesmaid]] who wanted to upstage her sister ''at her own wedding'' by wearing a more attractive dress than the other bridesmaids, even thought they're supposed to dress the same.
75	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/just-throw-it-in-the-cockpit/1116 This elderly airline passenger]], who wants their bag in reach, regardless of the convenience of others.
76	[[http://notalwaysright.com/playstation-four-ever/31028 This customer]] complains that the Platform/XboxOne and Platform/PlayStation4, which hadn't even been announced at the time of the story, aren't available for pre-order. To wit: "Why can’t the f* company just release the new consoles when I want them?! Stupid a**-holes! They should be doing what I want; I’m the paying customer!"
77	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/has-no-train-of-thought/31274 This tourist in Scotland]], upon being denied access to a palace because a member of UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily is staying there that day for a homecoming procession, shouts that ''they should have known that specific tourist was coming there for that day only and rescheduled the procession for the next day''.
78	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/doctors-of-the-caribbean/31286 This tourist]] doesn't feel well, so she calls the local hospital in England to see if she can arrange an appointment that day. That's fine. The weird part is that she's calling from a cruise ship in the Caribbean, but she still wants to see her doctor ''today''. When told she can't see the doctor today since she's hundreds of miles away out of the country, she demands to know why the doctor can't just fly out to meet her. Yeah, it's not that simple.
79	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/interested-in-ply-red-not-blood-red/31288 Why are you taking a few seconds to pull that shard of glass out of your hand]]? You must help me every waking moment, personal safety be damned!
80	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/not-quite-the-happiest-place-on-earth/31290 You must set an attendance cap and turn people away if a theme park gets too full]]! [[{{Hypocrite}} Unless it's me; I paid to come here]]!
81	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/adam-and-leave/30774 There's a missing boy]]? [[SkewedPriorities No, don't look for him, keep servicing us]]!
82	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/sunset-should-be-childs-play/31173 This parent]] wants a tourist attraction to bend the laws of physics so that their kids can watch a fireworks show. Apparently, letting said kids stay up a bit later than normal - half the fun of being on vacation for a kid - is out of the question.
83	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/no-room-for-negotiation/31357 This person]] wants a hotel to cancel someone else's reservation so that they can get a room.
84	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/some-customers-are-like-pulling-teeth/31629 This]] patient.
85	--> '''Receptionist''': [[SarcasmMode I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be sure to tell [dentist] that the next time one of his life-long friends unexpectedly dies, that he should be more considerate of his patients.]]\
86	'''Patient''': [[SarcasmBlind See that you do!]]
87	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/makes-you-want-to-dye-a-little-part-5/31872 This customer]] doesn't like an employee's new hair color, and so tells her to dye it back to its original color ''right now''.
88	** A rather disturbing instance [[http://notalwaysright.com/why-nurses-should-rule-the-world-part-5/31268 here]]: a person in a hospital overhears another patient who can't speak above a whisper due to her illness, promptly assumes she's gossiping about him (since his son is there due to swallowing a rock), and as such ''threatens her with physical violence every time she says anything''.
89	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/acting-irregular/31645 "Why don't you remember what coffee I want out of all the coffees of the numerous people you serve each day?"]]. At least the customer gets it when the worker explains the situation to him, and when the worker shows him up the next day by noting what he got yesterday, [[JerkassRealization he leaves behind a sizeable tip]].
90	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/the-replacement-has-big-shoes-to-fill/32589 This woman]], upon being told that a cobbler who rented space in the store has retired, claims that a different one ''five minutes away'' from the store is too far. Also crosses over with TheyJustDontGetIt, refusing to accept that said cobbler did not actually work for the store.
91	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/for-you-were-always-closed-part-3/34670 This woman]] tries to argue that workers should not have holidays like Thanksgiving off to spend with their families, because then "more important" families like the customer's won't be able to buy things.
92	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/walking-a-very-fine-line/35386 This woman]] expects a library to ''call her'' the night before a book she's rented is due rather than keep track of that herself. She also pointedly says that they can't email her, they ''have'' to call her.
93	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/charity-begins-at-home-furnishing/36470 This man]] seems to think that a charity shop should give him items for free, both because they get the items donated to them for free, and he is planning to furnish some property he plans to rent out with them; [[SarcasmMode clearly him making a few extra bucks on rent is far more important than any cause a charity could possibly have]].
94	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/overly-expressing-herself/37027 This customer]] brings [[ExpressLaneLimit 20 items into a 12-item-limit express lane]], and when admonished and told to use the regular checkout next time, bluntly ''refuses'', saying "[[{{Jerkass}} express is faster]]".
95	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/the-movie-tale-is-in-the-lack-of-telling/39351 This customer]] is annoyed that her cell phone provider didn't tell her that they were giving away free movie tickets for a week...despite the fact that it was advertised on billboards, newspapers, radio stations, her monthly bill, the Internet, and text messages. Unfortunately, the customer didn't get the message because she doesn't go outside much (so no billboards), doesn't read newspapers, doesn't listen to the radio, throws away every ad that comes with her monthly bill, doesn't use the Internet, and ignores all incoming text messages. Exasperated, the customer service associate asks ''how'' exactly, were they supposed to tell her about it then. She replies they could have called her about it. Specifically called ''her'', out of the thousands of other customers the company has.
96	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/a-rude-awakening/39288 This customer]] is asked to call a company in the morning to discuss something. He ends up calling at 3 PM, justifying it because ''he'' just woke up, therefore it's still ''his'' morning and as such counts for what the submitter asked.
97	** Crossing with AttentionWhore; [[http://notalwaysright.com/i-am-not-sick-of-all-the-attention/40598 this girl]] calls in an ambulance to take her to the hospital so she can get more attention and sympathy than her friend (who was rushed to the ER with anaphylactic shock). Note that this is ''illegal''.
98	** [[http://notalwaysright.com/her-sanity-is-under-construction/43754 This old lady]] complains about a crane being in view of her room's window at a hotel due to a condo being constructed between the hotel and the Space Needle (the story is in Seattle). It is not possibly blocking her view of the Needle given how high up her room is, and yet she insists that the hotel make the crane move anyway. She does not care that this would cost the construction company there millions, either, as when told of all the costs moving the crane for a bit and then moving it back would incur, she simply states that "money is no object".
99	* Angelika of ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'' shows traits of this, though she's one of the protagonists...
100	** A less amusing example would be Angelo, one of the [[BigBad main villains]] in the story. This attitude also extends to [[PathOfInspiration many of his followers,]] with [[MonsterOfTheWeek Toby]] being the most blatant example in this miniarc [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0159.html here.]]
101	* Script/SeinfeldTheTwinTowers: Kramer gets together a bunch of other kooks who feel so victimized by minor inconveniences after 9/11 they deserve government compensation for it. This includes Marge (who can't focus on her scrapbooking with all the sirens) and Benny (who's suffering from withdrawal because the TV studios aren't recording new game shows).
102	* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittestMini'' has Brittany Chesterton.
103	* PlayedForLaughs in ''WebVideo/JaffaFactory''. LetsPlay/SimonLane ends up childishly derailing some projects that LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/DuncanJones are considering, also going mad with power.
