* Sam Breakstone, at least [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_otz5RleThs in commercials.]
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
* Catbert, the Evil Human Resources Director of ''[[Dilbert]]'' lives up to that title. He even controls the trope-naming [[Pointy-Haired Boss]] to some extent to make everyone else's lives miserable.

* In one ''[[Peanuts]]'' arc, Peppermint Patty and Marcie got jobs as golf caddies, and had to deal with the Caddie Master, a mean kid whose first reaction to them was, "Hey, you guys are girls!" However, as mean as he was, he didn't count on Patty being ''meaner...''
