  • In the fifth installment of Ace Attorney according to an AI Manfred von Karma is shocked by the motive that Matt Engarde has for killing Juan Corrida- Juan insisted on using expensive cooking oil even though he and Matt were short on cash. The fact that Juan is Manfred's son in this trial might have something to do with it.
    Karma: You selfishly killed that man so you could save a few dollars. You are a greed-driven murderer!
  • The Angry Video Game Nerd: In the Spawn games review, Clown says that paid DLC is pretty evil, even by Hell's standards.

  • Channel Awesome:
    • Ask That Guy with the Glasses:
      • Episode 44 had Bennett the Sage as a co-host to That Guy, the infamous master of Black Comedy, and Sage actually delivered so disturbing and creepy answers, that That Guy spent most of the episode watching Sage with a mix of fear and frozen horror on his face.

      • Satan talks over a piece in Episode 58 saying, "Uh. Yeah, you guys better not listen to this."

        [Casper looks wide-eyed]
        Critic: ...Okay, that was a little disturbing—
        Casper: Wow.
        Critic: Okay, okay, it was just a little dark humor, I mean, it's nothing—

        Critic: Okay, okay, let's just move on!
        Casper: ...you sicken me.

      • Tamara (the character) loves fucking with The Nostalgia Critic's head, but she's disgusted in "Grandma Gets Run Over by a Reindeer" when Malcolm keeps him under control with a Chill Pill patch. Of course when she rips it off, she bears the full force of Critic's insanity because No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
    • Sage gets an Even Evil Has Standards when reading Cloud Mows the Lawn. He has a few other such moments, such as in one anime review where it's casually mentioned that the hero raped his sister and never gets any comeuppance for it. Also, in a crossover with JesuOtaku where he reviews Master of Martial Hearts, he notes that he wouldn't be caught dead eating at a place called Moe Burger, because even he has to have some standards.
    • In the review of The Spirit by Linkara and Film Brain, Linksano reveals that — even to him — it is too much to disintegrate a kitten. There are lines that even they don't cross, apparently, and that's one of them.
    • It is revealed in an episode of Merry Zodmas that General Zod believed that chopping down a tree and taking it inside to decorate is completely evil. He would use humans instead.

He also responds to an e-mail from his would-be nemesis, who challenged him to a fight in a public park, by pointing out that kids play in that park. Let's face it, Dr Horrible is pretty much all standards. Well, at first.
  • Dragon Ball Z Abridged
    • Team Four Star reimagines Mr. Popo as a seemingly all-powerful sadist, but when Kami asks if an annoying noise he hears is Mr. Popo torturing a cat, Mr. Popo is quick to say that he doesn't torture cats.
      Kami: Mr. Popo, are you torturing a cat?!
      Mr. Popo: Oh, please, Kami! I don't torture [eyes dart away] cats.
    • Standalone stories focusing on Goku's father Bardock don't flinch from how he was in many ways a ruthless killer for hire, and if anything, exaggerate his willingness to kill (and eat) someone over little to nothing, but a hurricane of Double Entendres about SPUGnote  moves Bardock to interrupt by killing one of the villain's minions and saving an Innocent Bystander alien.
      Bardock: I'm sorry I had to step in, but that was just getting obscene.
    • In HFIL, Frieza is completely unrepentant about his tyrannical and genocidal past, to the point where he says "I'd rather die a million more times before I ever pretend otherwise", but even he is disturbed by the twerkarena dance.
      • Also, Cell, who is in HFIL for all the people he drank, is utterly disgusted at the notion of bestiality, which he expresses the second time he's glomped by the frog-minded Ginyu.
  • Even Evil Has Standards is the premise of the many Downfall parodies on Youtube, where the message is basically "even Hitler thinks this sucks".
  • In this episode of Epic NPC Man, the recurring mugger characters confront someone who refuses to hand over their gold. While initially confused as how to move forward (as they've never been shown to successfully mug a person in the show prior to this), eventually Rowan's character stabs the person, causing them both to get heavily distressed and upset at the horrific act. They're so distressed, that Ben's character refuses any of the gold they took, and calls Rowan heartless (despite telling Rowan to do the deed) before walking away. Rowan is so distressed by the end of the episode that he drops the gold and his sword and walks off crying.
  • Epic Rap Battles of History:
    • Darth Vader mocks Hitler's attempts to convince the world that the Jews are evil. It's unclear whether this is because of this trope or whether he's mocking Hitler for failing. He does mention that he has a "homeboy in Israel" and generally seems to hate Hitler, it might be both. He also avoids using the C word, unlike Hitler.
    • Even Grigori Rasputin is absolutely horrified by the atrocities committed by Stalin.
    • Jack the Ripper boasts of having committed crimes so gory that Hannibal Lecter finds them appalling. Indeed, even Hannibal finds Jack the Ripper's joking about the 7/7 bombings to be in bad taste.

    • Catherine the Great is perfectly OK with murdering Pompey just so she can get her turn to rap more quickly, but even she is disgusted with Ivan the Terrible's brutality.
    • Craig!James Bond might have a few notches in his bed post, and Austin Powers might be a Lovable Sex Maniac, neither of them approve of Connery!Bond methods of romance.
    Craig!Bond: The world's had enough rug-wearing misogynists.
    Austin: Yeah, I have to admit, you are a bit rapey,
    I mean, I like to swing, but Dr. No means no, baby.
    • Even as the battle between the Joker and Pennywise was essentially who was more Eviler than Thou, the Joker finds the infamous orgy scene in the original novel version of It beneath his tastes.

  • FoxTale2614: In "acronix discovers the internet", Krux is appalled to see that Acronix posted on his Chirp account that he believes Metalonia should be nuked, showing that Krux believes that not all the people there deserve to be wiped out by a nuke.
  • In Friday the 13th: Vengeance and the sequel Friday the 13th: Vengeance 2: Bloodlines, while this was only implied in the films, Jason Voorhees explicitly refuses to kill young children. When he is confronted by the twelve-year-old Ashley Jarvis (daughter of his old adversary Tommy Jarvis), while Jason is willing to defend himself against her, he leaves Ashley alone once she’s been subdued, even when his father Elias had Jason convinced that killing the Jarvis family (and killing Ashley in particular) would bring Jason’s mother Pamela back to life.

  • Harry Partridge's Ace Ryder has The Commander, who is an ex-Space Nazi. They kicked him out because he was "too mean".
  • In Longbox of the Damned, Moarte is a flesh-eating ghoul with a love of the macabre, but there's plenty of times he'll cover something in the comics he reviews that disturb even him. Generally speaking, he despises bigots and abusers of any kind, and takes extra enjoyment whenever he sees them meet their karmic demises.
  • In the first episode of The Music Video Show, there are prisoners listening to Metallica...playing songs from St.Anger.
    "They're already in prison... haven't they suffered enough?"
  • In Noob, Tenshirock turns out to have a video that he could use to get many people to stop playing the MMORPG in which the story is set, which is what he wants. When asked, he heavily implies that he didn't use it because he considers the information contained in the video too sensitive.
  • This video had the host, Phantom Savage, who had delighted in doing several evil actions in Fallout: New Vegas, take on a romhack by his friend, The Khold One, and was crying. It was that hard.
  • Sanders Sides: Thomas decides to hear Janus out, despite Janus being a sneaky Manipulative Bastard who's literally the Anthropomorphic Personification of dishonesty. His reasoning? Janus isn't a Nazi!
    Virgil: That... cannot be where the bar is.
  • Real-Time Fandub:
    • In the Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) dub, Mephiles is disgusted when Shadow offers Elise as an 11-year-old girl a vape.

    • Mr. Freeze in "Mr. Freeze Chills Out" is horrified upon learning that Harmless Freezing does not apply and he actually killed Robin and various other people he believed could just be thawed out.

    • The rest of the Evil Justice League from "The Injustice League" is just as horrified as the good one by the implications of Evil Batman and Robin's upstanding morals in regards to what it means for their opposite, the regular Batman.
  • Something Awful: Dungeons & Dragons: Minerelle is someone who is perfectly willing to kill, lie, and betray for the slightest of reasons, but apparently draws the line at using sentient beings as property when Algernon suggests using a shape shifter locked into the shape of a sword as a weapon. Gibnaf points out that there is probably video evidence to the contrary.
  • The Spoony Experiment:
    • Doctor Insano may be a psychotic Mad Scientist, but he can't stand Ferris Bueller's selfishness and thinks of him as the villain of his movie. Don't get him wrong, Dr. Insano does enjoy the fact that the movie was about the ultimate triumph of evil and playing the innocent population for the bleeding heart saps that they are, but what irritates him is the fact that all the effort Ferris put into committing multiple felonies and driving Cameron closer to suicide was all for something so petty; a day off from school.
      Doctor Insano: I may be evil, but at least I'm not full of CRAP!!
    • Not to mention Dr. Insano also attended school. Even evil won't skip school.

  • In TV Trash Count Sigeeyai making Chris watch Brickleberry is a crime against humanity that not even he is capable of.
  • The Warp Zone, "If Beauty and the Beast had Facebook": Maleficent and Ursula are villainesses par excellence, but even they think what the Enchantress did to the prince (aka the Beast) is one step too far, and what happened to the rest of the castle's inhabitants two or three steps more on top of that.
    Maleficent: Wow, congratulations. You f**ked up an 11-year-old kid's life for no real reason.
    [...]
    Ursula: Hey, I stole a voice, sister. You stole ten years from that boy's life. No wonder he doesn't know how to eat soup out of a bowl...
    [...]
    Belle: She also turned a seven-year-old into a teacup.
    Ursula: WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH YOU?
  • In the Wizards with Guns video "This Christian Batman Knockoff is Worse than You Think", Captain Bible tries to murder Deceptor with assault rifles, bombs and grenade launchers for basically encouraging bad habits in a kid. Deceptor is quick to point out that he's firing a gun within range of the very kid the hero is intending to save.
    Deceptor: Why are you shooting? Aren't you supposed to, like, pray at me or quote a Bible-verse?
    Captain Bible: John 3:16. [Starts firing at Deceptor]
