- Boots to Reboots: Evil Andy is a hedonistic split personality who is violent and murderously insane. In nearly every episode, Evil Andy either kills or maims someone; robs banks; drinks booze; anything that stimulates him.
- In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, Melissa's parents showered her with praise while also forcing her to work hard. She internalised their praise, which led her to honestly believe that she was superior to everyone else. Utterly ruthless, believing no one deserves her respect, lacking any deep emotional connections, and believing that her wants are the most important thing in the world, Melissa is a sordid apple who shows no remorse when she manipulates others to kill for her.
- Demo Reel: The Yandere family hold Donnie captive with muscle relaxants under the pretense that they're helping him get better, have No Sense of Personal Space with him (not even the daughter), force him to watch the movies he made when he was little, and worst of all, refuse to believe him when he tells them that his mother killed herself while he was shooting a film.
- Don't Hug Me I'm Scared:
- Tony the Talking Clock in the second. The sadistic smile on his face as he rots the puppets alive to prove a point says it all. He uses the same trick on a sentient apple earlier in the video For the Evulz.
- Collin in the fourth is narcissistic, violent, and completely indifferent to the suffering of others. He punishes Red Guy for touching his keyboard by trapping him and his friends in a digital world where they can't do anything except open one of three doors over and over again. It's hinted that he also literally made Red Guy's head explode.
- The Healthy Band in the fifth put on a friendly, playful demeanour, but it's heavily implied that they tricked Yellow Guy into eating his only remaining friend alive.
- In the Dream SMP roleplay, for lack of a better trope name, Dream pretty much fits this to a T — he wants to reunite the server under his rule ("justified" by a sketchy Divine Right of Kings excuse that can only really apply on a meta level), and is willing to do anything to do this, including (and not limited to) plotting the massacre of a pacifist nation, manipulating every other person around him, nuking an entire city-state to bedrock, and abusing and gaslighting a teenager to the point said teen almost killed himself. Practically everything he does is self-serving or for his own amusement, and as of Season 3, he has a god complex to boot and dehumanizes everyone involved in his plans to serve his own goals, including to his former best friends, who both eventually stood up to him and turned against him from how toxic he was.
- Escape the Night has Arthur the butler in season one, whose motives for being a conniving, manipulative and sadistic serial killer who murders his wife, tortures and kills most of the heroes and locks his own brother up for months are summed up as It Amused Me. A more prominent example is DeStorm Power, who acts as the Token Evil Teammate and Hate Sink of the second season. He has an apathetic reaction towards the other characters’ deaths, betrays his allies and friends without a second thought, seems to sincerely believe that the other guests betrayed HIM rather then the other way around, has a massively overblown ego and cannot comprehend why they would ever want him eliminated.
- HABIT from Everyman HYBRID is one, having killed and tortured several people sadistically, all out of a twisted sense of entertainment.
- Game Theory has a couple
videos about Mario being one. Unsurprisingly, a large chunk of the fandom isn't a terribly fond of these theories. - The Nostalgia Chick, especially with the "not understanding boundaries" thing. What's wrong with installing cameras in your friend's bedroom?
- Pretending to Be People has Ann Love, aka "Agent Karen," a woman who uses her incredible magical powers to horrifically murder people she's tasked with killing. She shows no remorse, dismisses others' anger towards her, and is so utterly devoid of empathy towards other human beings that she legitimately believes that she can recruit the son of a couple she killed and suffer no consequences.
- Puppet Reviews Stuff: Vonstrucker has all the warning signs: he's manipulative; needs a source of stimulation to alleviate boredom; lacks empathy; and lastly, he has a high opinion of himself.
- Survival of the Fittest villains can quite frequently be sociopaths, with characters like J.R. Rizzolo and Jacob Starr being prominent examples of these traits. In spin-off The Program, Brigadier General David Adams has all the hallmarks of being one, given he doesn't seem to care at all about the imminent deaths of the students.
- The Veronica Exclusive gives us Jane Dean, an intelligent, manipulative, charismatic teenage girl who has very poor impulse control and sees no problem with killing people for being bullies, or plotting to blow up her school. Her only genuine connection is with her girlfriend, Veronica, but it's clear she doesn't really know how to empathize with her, and frequently coerces and manipulates her into being her accomplice. Given that she was willing to murder Veronica for leaving her, it's hard to say whether she genuinely loves Veronica (albeit in a deeply unhealthy way) or if she's just desperate for company and affection. Or both. She also did love her mother — it's implied that her death is what broke Jane into being such a monster in the first place, though she clearly had a screw loose right from the get-go.
