The hero is at a party or some other fun session. Everybody there is having a good time. Then the villain shows up to ruin all of the fun. Maybe he was upset that he wasn't invited? Nope! He just hated the fact that you were all happy and having a good time in general and admits he would have ruined everything even if you had invited him. These guys are the cold-blooded murderers of fun through and through. Maybe they find people having fun annoying, or they are working on something and the happy music is distracting to them. Of course, there is also the possibility that they see ruining other people's fun is more enjoyable than seeing them have fun, they consider having fun as the real evil, or they consider it their duty as a bad guys to ruin peoples' fun. These types of villains are often The Grinch in holiday-themed media. May overlap with Dystopia Justifies the Means in extreme cases (such as the villain wanting the whole world to be miserable). If the villain is a grown-up ruining the fun for children, then they are a Fun-Hating Confiscating Adult. Sub-Trope of The Killjoy. See also Evil is Petty. Compare No-Nonsense Nemesis. Contrast Villains Love Entertainment. |

In Divinity: Original Sin II, the demon possessing the Wandering Minstrel Lohse hates her cheerful music and makes her break her (friend's) lute when she tries to sing the first time in the game. She does not sing again until she manages to get rid of him towards the finale. | |

Sleeping Beauty: Maleficent is irritated that she wasn't invited to the celebration for Princess Aurora's birth. So, she goes and curses Aurora to die by her sixteenth birthday. It is implied there's some spite there already, considering Maleficent is already known as an "evil" fairy compared to the three "good" fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. | |

In Yellow Submarine, the villains are the Blue Meanies, a group of blue guys who hate music. They hate music so much, they invade Pepperland, formerly an idyll full of music and fun, and turn it into a sort of Mordor. | |

Mr. Herriman of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends usually ends up in this role. Interestingly, he is far from evil—he's still an imaginary friend after all—but his idea of "fun" is incredibly lame, and he is in a position of authority where he can enforce his view. In one of the "Bloo Superdude" stories, Herriman's counterpart outright states that suppressing other people's fun is how he has fun (of course, that story is told by Bloo). | |

In Making Fiends, Vendetta hates singing, happiness, and vegetables. Whenever she sees somebody else having fun, like main character Charlotte, she seeks to ruin their good time. If she ever plays nice with another person, it will probably be for her own selfish reasons and not because she actually wants to have fun. | |

Ayakashi Triangle's version of the Hiderigami, a god of drought and heat, is sustained and empowered by the misery its heat waves inflicts on humans, and thus hates people enjoying themselves in spite of them. Reo takes advantage of this by holding a beach party to draw it out. | |

Homestuck: While major villain Jack Noir doesn't specifically target fun, being more of an Omnicidal Maniac, his Start of Darkness is triggered by being forced to wear an overly whimsical, multicolored harlequin costume, which drives him into an unstoppable homicidal rage. Alternate Universe versions of Jack are extremely no-nonsense, showing a love of boring, adult thing like suits and business apparatuses, while disdaining fun things like witty one-liners. | |

Twelfth Night: Malvolio has a Puritan disdain for fun and games. The main characters delight in taunting him with their singing, drinking and jokes. This was Truth in Television, as Puritans of Shakespeare's age were opposed to theater. The Bard obviously took this very personally, which is probably why he gave this particular villain a name meaning "ill will." Puritans successfully outlawed theater in London in 1642, a ban that lasted until the Restoration in 1660. | |

Soma Spirits: Dissonance absolutely despises any form of joy or leisure, believing it makes people too lazy and complacent to do their duty to society, and rules over the World of Sorrow, where his citizens must sacrifice their personal feelings to contribute to the collective. The very existence of the World of Joy, where everyone is always happy and free to play all day, enrages him so much that he aims to use the Orbs to stamp out all happiness and wipe out the World of Joy completely. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: The Pixies love everything dull and boring and their plans always involve trying to suck all the fun out of Fairy World and Earth. In School's Out! The Musical, they actually succeed, but their victory is short lived. Flappy Bob starts out as this in School's Out! The Musical. He was adopted by the Pixies and raised to believe that fun is a terrible thing. At first, he works to remove all fun and is instrumental in the Pixies' victory. However, half-way through the musical, he has a change of heart and uses his skills as a lawyer to beat his adoptive parents and restore fun to the world. |

In Disco Elysium, the culprit hates anyone taking even small pleasures from their lives, such as listening to music, having friends, taking drugs and partying, enjoying nature, exploring weird personal interests, making art, or going about your life without hating every minute of your existence, because he views it as Escapism, a distraction from the unfinished work of building Communism and a betrayal of the Revolution that failed. note This is an exploration of a real view that exists in some sections of the Left; some groups note that revolutions only happen in times where people's normal lives are unlivable, and therefore view pop culture and everyday joy as Bread and Circuses to keep the people from rising up. | |

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Implied with Jadis, the White Witch from the title. Though her rule is characterized by general unhappiness, that's pretty standard for an Evil Overlord with contemporary fascist overtones. However, as her rule is starting to crumble, she seems genuinely disgusted when she encounters a group of animals celebrating, referring to their merriment as "gluttony and waste" before turning the unfortunate revelers to stone as punishment. | |
