History Main / EvilFeelsGood

* Even ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' gets in on this, as Bender's TransformationTrauma into a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werecar]] begins to feel pretty good.

* [[ThisLoserIsYou Ron]] from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' is normally a bumbling, loser-type who frequently loses his pants in wacky mishaps, but the moment he turns evil all hell breaks loose. There's something about one screaming Booya-hahaHAHA!

* ''[[Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K Star Wars vs Warhammer 40K]]'': Count Dooku's IntroOnlyPointOfView in Episode 31 reveals that the true reason he has remained a Sith and never once considered turning back to the Light Side is because he ''enjoys'' all the power, control, and supposed freedom that aligning with Sidious and the Dark Side has afforded him.

* In ''FanFic/TheRWBYLoops'', Cinder Fall eventually dumps her HiddenAgendaVillain in favor of this. However, she also comes to realize that GoodFeelsGood; the obvious conflict directly feeds into her growing insanity.

* ''FanFic/WithThisRing'': Edward Clariss AKA The Rival/The original Reverse Flash, the EvilCounterpart to Jay Garrick, the first Flash. After his death years ago, he was cast into Hell for his horrible crimes, but eventually began associating the torture he was receiving with the ecstasy he felt slaughtering helpless people in life with his speed, allowing him to ascend to demonhood.

* ''Fanfic/StarWarsVsWarhammer40K'': The primary reason Count Dooku has remained a Sith and never once considered turning back to the Light Side is because he enjoys all the power, control, and freedom that aligning with Sidious and the Dark Side has afforded him.

* A subtle example is shown in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' story "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E11And12ABetterWorld A Better World]]". After Justice Lord Superman kills President Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman asks him if he's okay. His response is "I'm great" while smirking, marking his transition from hero to KnightTemplar.

* ''Ninjago'': Lord Garmadon, especially through seasons 2-3, often falls under this trope. This is due to the [[InTheBlood evil that flows through his veins]] that he had long since lost the fight to. However he will occasionally dip into [[ReluctantPsycho guilt for enjoying chaos,]] often when talking about or with Lloyd, but he simply can't help himself. After season 3 and his redemption, Garmadon loses the pleasurable feeling that comes from evil and the want to be evil altogether. He instead feels great regret for what he has done and trains in the passive arts [[TheAtoner to try to at least somewhat atone for his violent, destructive past.]]

* Sasuke of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' ranting about how killing [[spoiler: Danzo]] felt great.

* Sarah Kerrigan from ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' after being captured and mutated into the Queen of Blades by the Zerg.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', a strange force starts causing a segment of the population to start transforming into Jokers, vicious white-skinned, ruby-lipped killers with paranormal abilities. This even extends to one of the party members, and when attacking during her boss fight, one of her quotes is "It feels ''good!''"

* ''WebVideo/KateModern: Precious Blood'', when the [[CatchPhrase phrase]] "The Hymn of One is fun" is chillingly given a whole new meaning.

* In ''LightNovel/HeavyObject'' Skuld Silent-Third is a SerialKiller who is so ecstatic when she has the chance to kill she almost seems to be on drugs. A scene from her point of view while selecting a new target is flashing in psychedelic colors, furthering the drug comparison.

* All incarnations of Doctor Robotnik from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' seem to KNOW that they're bad, and generally seem to have a kickass time doing so.

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: Of the many, ''[[MultipleChoicePast many]]'' backstories The Joker has, the one consistent thing about his character is that he ''really'' enjoys being a vile bastard to everyone around him.

* The Major from ''Anime/HellsingUltimate'' really, REALLY likes war. He likes it so damn much, in fact, that he delivers an entire speech on the specific aspects of war that he loves.
* In the Battle City arc of ''Anime/YuGiOh'', tombkeeper Marik Ishtar has another, psychotic evil personality (who is actually NOT another soul unlike with Yugi and Bakura) that is sealed by the consciousness of his step-brother Odion (Rishid in the original). When Odion is knocked unconscious by The Winged Dragon of Ra, the evil Marik comes out. He remarks about how weak his other side is, and how scared he is of the dark. "But not me, I love the dark. It fills me with purpose!" Yami Marik gloats. He then proceeds to show how insane he is by rendering Mai and Joey (Jonouchi) comatose after putting them through hideous torturous Dark Games.
** To some extent, Izayoi Aki (Akiza Izinski) from ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds''. It's made abundantly clear the ''Black Rose Witch'' derives pleasure from... well... making people miserable and inflicting pain. Her reasons for doing so is lashing back at everybody who hurts her [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer for being a psychic]] [[ThenLetMeBeEvil and who declared her to be a monster.]]

* In the dub of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', the younger Toguro brother (a human turned into a demon for winning the Dark Tournament a long time ago) mentions that, while demonic energy is not always more powerful than human spirit energy, it "gives a much more pleasurable sensation when used."

* Sasuke of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' ranting about how killing [[spoiler: Danzo]] felt great.
* Slan of ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'' comments during the Eclipse on how "delicious" it is when [[spoiler: Griffith as Femto rapes Casca to insanity in front of Guts who's forced to watch it happen]]. Gets even creepier when it sounds like she's having an orgasm.
** The hellhound beast [[SuperPoweredEvilSide that dwells within Guts]] also uses this to convince Guts that he likes having the darkness that's in him, telling him that [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity it makes him feel more powerful.]]

* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'': DIO sucks [[CoolOldGuy Joseph's]] blood bone-dry, hyping up his vampire power. He's all too happy boasting that the Joestar Bloodline exists only to be his personal tools.
-->'''DIO:''' [[EvilIsHammy THIS is the greatest high!]]
* In ''LightNovel/HeavyObject'' Skuld Silent-Third is a SerialKiller who is so ecstatic when she has the chance to kill she almost seems to be on drugs. A scene from her point of view while selecting a new target is flashing in psychedelic colors, furthering the drug comparison.

* The Major from ''Anime/HellsingUltimate'' really, REALLY likes war.

* All four of the libertines firmly believe this in ''Literature/The120DaysOfSodom'' by Creator/MarquisDeSade and his other works also feature it. Libertines will usually extol rape, torture, and murder as the best things ever, as they give them all [[{{Sadist}} extreme pleasure]] from their infliction.
