* Ai Kaga from ''[[Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'' was specifically designed to lampshade and parody this trope. Even her name is a giveaway: "Kaga Ai" sounds like "kagai", "perpetrator" in Japanese, and she, indeed, believes that she is to blame for everything bad.
* Nagisa and Ryou from ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]''
* Himeko from ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'', largely cause she doesn't (for most of the series) regard herself as being worth the space she occupies. This even sort of happens during the infamous [[Wham! Episode|episode 8]].
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', Asuka and Shinji play the "Stop apologising so much! Sorry..." gag.
** Shinji is almost the patron saint. Towards the end of the series, his psychological descent is seen in how he ''stops'' apologizing for every little thing and merely wallows in the disparaging opinion that he can't help anyone.

== I apologize for using examples from [[Live Action Television]] ==
* In ''[[Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'', Tobin Dax was one of these, as we see during Jadzia's ''zhian'tara'' ritual, where his personality is placed into O'Brien's body temporarily. Complete with being told to stop, and apologising for apologising.
* The Tenth Doctor, from ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''. So much so that "I'm sorry, I am so sorry." is pretty much his [[Catch Phrase]]. ''Well''... one of them. In his case, most of the time he's sorry to be the bearer of bad news, rather than sorry for any of the [[Jerkass]] things he's done.
** He seems to have rubbed off on his companions. Rose and Martha both use that phrase as well, in the same context.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHVW-S9JkKA He says it at least 120 times] during his run, and that video doesn't include his last three episodes. (So sorry if this link renders the word ''utterly meaningless.'')
