In a comedy, when a bunch of characters are subject to some kind of punishment or awful revenge, there will often be exactly one character who doesn't deserve it. No matter how much this character voices his objection, he will never be recognized as an exception. He must suffer with everyone else. Compare: My Friends... and Zoidberg, I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure, Can't Get Away with Nuthin', Go Among Mad People. If the character didn't do the listed thing, but DID do something else, it may become I Take Offense to That Last One. The opposite of this trope is I Am Spartacus, where people who aren't guilty deliberately associate themselves with the guilty party and Accomplice by Inaction, where people who didn't do the act are considered guilty because they didn't do anything to stop it. Jokes of this kind are a type of Black Comedy. See also Misplaced Retribution and Karmic Misfire, especially when the victim is the only one targeted for what their guilty association did. For characters who are victimized by just being there, see Guilt by Coincidence. For characters who are victimized because they have a connection with the perpetrator, see Villain-by-Proxy Fallacy. This trope is NOT just any group of people where one person doesn't belong in the group for whatever reason. |

In one episode of The Jetsons, when Elroy brought home a bad report tape (that a failing student switched with his), George sent him to bed without dinner, but he also sent Astro to bed too, just because Astro believed Elroy wasn't lying about the tape being wrong. Boy, talk about strict. | |

In the Batman (1966) episode "Dizzoner the Penguin", Batman and the Penguin are running for mayor of Gotham City. Penguin makes the argument that since Batman is often seen in contact with criminals while he himself is often surrounded by police, he is the more trustworthy character. | |

A rare serious example: in Maus, the punishment comes from the Nazis towards a prisoner who may or may not actually be the race they claim he is. Every day at lineup, he desperately insists that he was a German soldier who doesn't belong with "these Yids and Polacks". This is emphasized when Vladek sees him as a cat (analogous to a German) but the other Germans see him as a mouse (analogous to a Jew.) | |

The Simpsons: In Who Shot Mr. Burns Part One, Mr. Burns steals the oil that was under and to be claimed by Springfield Elementary. As such, not only does he have legal claim over the oil, the school had to make layoffs because of the money wasted on building the oil rig, one of which was Groundskeeper Willie. He responds by vowing to kill Burns and then wound his assistant Smithers. In the middle of his long-repressed rage rant during "Hurricane Neddy", Lenny gets this from Ned. "Simpsons Bible Stories" ends with the Rapture. The Simpsons are to be sent to Hell... except Lisa, who is pulled heavenward in a beam of glorious light. Disturbingly, Homer is able to reach up and pull her down to hell with them, saying "Where do you think you're going, Missy?" In "Treehouse of Horror XVI", everyone in town is cursed by a witch, causing them to turn into their Halloween costumes, including Hans Moleman, who turns into a mole despite not wearing a costume. In "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times", when Milhouse gets Drunk with Power in his quest to get Revenge against everyone he thinks has wronged him, at one point he runs into a random student who explains he is new to this school and has never done anything to him. Milhouse attacks him anyway, claiming it's "prevenge" for the bad things he will do to him in the future. In the "Heck House" segment of "Treehouse of Horror XVIII", Bart, Milhouse, Nelson and Lisa are sent temporarily to Hell, yet Lisa took no part in the chaos they wrought. She points this out along the way to hell: "I warned you, and yet my punishment is no less severe. That's odd." |

In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Hey You, Don't Forget about Me in Your Memory" when the Titans go to high school Robin repeatedly beats Beast Boy up throughout the episode because he's playing the jock role and Beast Boy is a nerd. Every time, the principal witnesses this and gives all the Titans detention: Cyborg, Raven and Starfire for just standing nearby and Beast Boy for getting beaten up, apparently. | |

Red Ears: In one comic a ridiculously sultry woman is dragged into a courtroom because she's being charged with being a communist infiltrator as she's visited the People's Republic of China several times. After putting on a show for the judge and even teasing him by Going Commando, she retorts that she's visited the Virgin Islands even more often than China, and surely the judge isn't naive enough to think she's still a virgin? | |

Occurs in Chapter 1 of Puyo Puyo Tetris. When Arle finds out that Tee is a friend of Zed, she challenges him to a battle because she believes he will have the same oppressive demands, expecting Arle to have proper manners like washing her hands. This is done despite the fact that Tee apologized for Zed's actions beforehand and told Arle that he did not expect those things from her. | |

On Arrested Development, Oscar is constantly being hunted down and savagely beaten by police (and was actually imprisoned between the second and third seasons) for the crimes committed by his identical twin brother. It's especially ironic because he's probably the only member of the family who hasn't committed massive fraud and "...maybe a little light treason"; he never seems to be guilty of much beyond possession of marijuana and sleeping with his brother's wife. | |

Another Monty Python example occurs in Life of Brian, during the crucifixion march scene. A kindly onlooker who tries to help a fallen prisoner by lifting his cross is marched off to the execution site by the guards after the prisoner ditches him and runs off into the crowd.

In Metalocalypse, Toki is often the one who doesn't eat the mousse. One of his catch phrases is even "Evens Toki?" When Dethklok comes out with a line of clothing, their humanitarian fashion designer berates and abuses them all for not being in shape, including Toki, who is in great shape and who didn't lie about his measurements.

Wendy is also banned because the pool authorities know that they're sisters, even though Wendy never did anything bad. Marie painted on the walls and released snails into the house? Their parents force Wendy to help Marie clean up the mess. Rachel picks on Marie, who is several years younger than her, for no reason other than Marie being related to Wendy, whom Rachel hates. |

Monty Python just loves this one— near the beginning of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a man is loaded onto a cart full of dead plague victims. When he insists he's "not quite dead yet" and attempts to leave, the cart-pusher refuses to take him at first, but the man who brought him slips the cart-pusher some money. A hefty whack from his cudgel and the man wasn't complaining anymore. | |

In one episode of The Big Bang Theory, Penny's handsome-but-stupid boyfriend Zack drops by and eagerly asks to "talk science with the science nerds". Even though Zack's a Nice Guy and genuinely interested in their work, Leonard, Sheldon, and Howard make fun of him with condescending comments and snide jokes. When Zack catches on, he becomes genuinely upset and leaves while Penny calls the guys out for their Double Standard of complaining about bullies while acting like bullies themselves. Raj asks why he got yelled at, as he didn't say anything, and Penny snaps, "You laughed!" | |

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail has a more dramatic version. Chloe chews out both her father and Goh for being so obsessed with Pokémon that they failed to notice that she actually existed and then she also adds Ash into it because, while his crimes aren't as severe, his presence just made Goh spend more time with him and leaving her behind. | |

Early in Persona 4, Yosuke makes the boneheaded mistake of waving a couple of weapons around in public. Yu, the main character, is arrested along with him, capped off with a lecture from his uncle. Being a Silent Protagonist, you make no apparent effort to defend yourself, even though you were just sitting there the entire time. The game makes heavy use of this trope, as Yu and Kanji frequently find themselves getting punished alongside Yosuke for his antics such as during the camping trip or the Beauty Contest. |

The 13th episode of the PaRappa the Rapper anime has a bit where Chop Chop Master Onion punishes PaRappa, PJ and Sunny for neglecting to clean his dojo while he was away by ordering them to get the job done immediately. Matt and Paula are also forced to do their part even though they had just met Chop Chop Master Onion and therefore can't be blamed for what the rest of the gang did. | |

In Devilman, the partygoers had every right to attack Ryo when he started slicing and stabbing them with a broken liquor bottle for no reason other than he was doing it to summon demons as part of his ritual because he needed human blood to complete it. They then, however, attack Akira even though he had nothing to do with it, just because Ryo was his friend and he was trying to help him. | |

My Gym Partner's a Monkey: In the episode "Basic Jake", Jake plays a prank on Principal Pixiefrog, who gives both him and Adam Saturday detention, ignoring Adam's protests that he had nothing to do with the prank. In the episode "The Two Jakes", Jake clones himself and Adam (without consulting the latter) and brings the clones to school, even though clones are against the rules. When he and Adam are forced to hide so Pixiefrog doesn't learn the truth, we get this exchange: |

Once Dawn's Team Mom Togekiss comes into the picture, she reverses it by hitting it back at Gible and Ash who had even less control over the situation. | |

In Jungle Cruise, the Conquistadores that massacred a native tribe are cursed to never leave the Amazon river- even the Token Good Teammate who had betrayed his fellows to help save the natives. Although in this case it's justified as the dying chief who laid the curse wasn't able to see most of this and as such didn't know that there was a Token Good Teammate. | |

Boy Meets World: In the episode "And Then There Was Shawn", after Shawn interrupts the lesson too many times, Mr. Feeny threatens to give the class detention if there is "one more crazy interruption." Hilariously, the "crazy interruption" that Feeny decides is the final straw is the janitor bursting into the classroom, giving a creepy stare, and then leaving. And he punishes Kenny too, even though all he did was ask for a pencil. | |

The Loud House: In the episode "Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru", after the girl advice Lincoln gave the boys at his school backfires on them, his customers attempt to get revenge on both him and Clyde, despite the latter's involvement in Lincoln's scheme being minimal at best. And in "Linc or Swim", if just one of the Loud kids are causing trouble at a pool, all 11 of them are banned. This especially goes to Lincoln, who never even entered any of the pools in the first place. |

Much in a similar manner, Frizz and Nug of The Dreamstone are usually dragged kicking and screaming into each scheme by the Urpneys, usually via bullying from Sgt. Blob and Urpgor or threat of death from Zordrak. The heroes have no problem punishing and humiliating them as much as they would their superiors, to the point they usually get the worst of it. | |

A frequent gag in Dan Vs. Dan and Chris enter some establishment together. Dan proceeds to rant, make a scene, and piss people off, while Chris tries to stop him. This escalates until Dan and Chris get thrown out, and possibly get beaten up beforehand. In the episodes where Dan is arrested, Chris is often accused of being an "accessory" to the crime, and punished as well. | |

Futurama: In the episode "Fear of a Bot Planet", Leela objects to being sentenced as a human by the human-hating robots because she is a one-eyed alien. (Although before going, The Professor did warn her that the robots are "not fans" of humanoid aliens.) It turns out much later that she actually is human, albeit a mutant one. Then another time Leela got fired with Fry and Bender when the two took the ship out for a joyride around the world with the Planet Express building tethered to it, but she did leave the key in the ignition. In "The Cyber House Rules", a B-plot about Bender adopting twelve orphans for the government stipends ends with him getting arrested and jailed for child endangerment, along with not only his roommate Fry but all twelve of the kids. A deleted scene explains this last: the police "got a tip they were in on it" (from Bender himself, no less). |

Happened at the end of The Fairly OddParents! movie Channel Chasers when Timmy wished that everyone forgot the events of the movie. Crocker had nothing to do with the plot (in fact, he only appeared in the movie at the end), but he was still affected by this wish anyway. Which was a gag to throw in his brief moment of sanity from his FAIRY GOD PARENTS! obsession and reinforce the status quo. | |

In Pumpkinhead, Joel was the only one of the group who deserved Pumpkinhead's wrath, as he was the one who ran over Billy. Although an accident, he refused to help him and only cared about himself, as he had a similar incident with a girl and was going to jail if convicted, and he assaulted his friends when they tried to call an ambulance. The others are also pursued by Pumpkinhead even though they tried to help Billy as he was dying. Ultimately, Joel ends up being killed, but so are Steve, Kim, and Maggie, who were innocent. | |

Narrowly averted in Dogma, when the two angels Loki and Bartleby slaughter the whole board of directors of a fictional corporation, for "raising an idol (a cartoon character) that draws worship from the lord..." They had all also committed other, horrible sins to deserve their punishment. The only one who was spared was the sole woman among them, who had committed no sins... though Loki still almost killed her because she didn't say "God bless you" when he sneezed. Bartleby stops him at the last moment, but only because he's tired of waiting. | |

In Drowtales, this winds up happening to Kyo'nne when the Kyorl'solenurn arrive. She seemed to think she'd get off easily because unlike her friends she wasn't tainted and even mocks her friends for being "screwed" as they start to run, but the Kyorl go after her anyway for being "corrupted", literally guilt by association, and would have "cleansed" (read: brainwashed) her if Chirinide and Shan'naal hadn't interfered. For extra irony she was the only one the Kyorl actually managed to catch. Because Shinae tripped her. | |

On Ed, Edd n Eddy, Edd is sometimes/often beaten up along with the others when Eddy's schemes go south even though he's usually the voice of reason, trying to convince the other two that they should be doing something productive instead. This was lampshaded on one occasion: after beating up the Eds, Sarah admits that Edd didn't deserve the beating but then she adds, "Give those cute ones an inch, and they'll take a mile!" An even more egregious example is in "If It Smells Like an Ed" where Jimmy framed the Eds for ruining the kids' friendship appreciation day even though Eddy, and ONLY Eddy, gave him a wedgie while Ed and Edd did absolutely nothing to deserve the crime other than stick by Eddy. |

By a Contrived Coincidence, Team Rocket lands in Ash and Co's camping area and when the Breloom appear, they attack Ash and the others as well despite them having nothing to do with the situation. An angry Ash lampshades this after the Breloom cause everyone to split up, with him having to be held back by Brock when he attempts to retaliate against them. In Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, a Running Gag involved Ash's Gible's Power Incontinence resulting in its Draco Meteor attack turning into Homing Lasers focused only on Dawn's Piplup. Once Dawn's Team Mom Togekiss comes into the picture, she reverses it by hitting it back at Gible and Ash who had even less control over the situation. |

Achievement Hunter Minecraft Series: In the episode "Freezeezy Peak", Geoff loudly talks over Matt's instructions for the game, angrily claiming it as his "revenge" for all the times the others have talked over him. However, as the others point out, Matt has never talked over him, so in this case he's only punishing the one who doesn't deserve it. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi has one of these during the "Kiss Negi" competition during the class trip. Nitta tells the students that anyone caught outside their hotel rooms will be forced to do the Seiza Squirm in the lobby all night. Chisame is roped into the competition by Ayaka, realizes early on the whole game is stupid, heads back to her room. And is caught by Nitta on the way. Eventually everybody else is caught too... along with Negi, who had absolutely nothing to do with it (but he was also outside of his room, for different reasons). This makes even less sense when you consider that a teacher, 10 years old or not, really should be able to be out of his room. | |

The Hey Arnold! episode where a drill sergeant replaced Mr. Simmons. He punished 3 kids by making them stand in room's corner. He makes Stinky do the same because of "symmetry". | |

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, the Avatar suffers from this in Vaike's C and B support conversations, where the Avatar catches Vaike peeping on the bathing females of the army and both end up being chased off by Sully's horse, despite the Avatar not having peeped themselves. | |

Harry and the Shipgirls sees the Gryffindor Chasers get vexed during Third Year when, instead of allowing them to study for their tests, Oliver Wood forces them to keep practicing for the upcoming game. Wood, Fred, and George joke that it must be their time of the month. The Chasers respond with a prank...and Has also gets pranked, because they interpreted his silence as him agreeing with Wood. | |
