It's Exactly What It Says on the Tin: the motivation of an amoral character seeking... well, amusement. It's not that they enjoy being good or evil — they may not know or care about the difference — but they do whatever they feel like without regard for others. They don't need a motivation or justification for doing anything beyond the amusement of the act itself. As a result, they almost inevitably do things that are dickish, maybe even cruel, but generally not outright evil. This same character will lead you into a trap, fight you to the death… and then stop on the brink of killing you to laugh and say "Are you all right?" They won't kill the hero, because they find their attempts to save the day amusing, or are intrigued by the sheer selflessness of their thinking. They may help the hero, they may help the villain, they may do both at once or screw over both at once. They are rarely if ever a driving force behind a story, but they nonetheless play a significant role. And why do they do all this? Why do they switch sides so often? Why are they working below the Big Bad when they're just as powerful and intelligent as they are, if not more? Why did they make out with the hero of the same gender?
Because it was fun. They'd do just about anything for a lark, really.
Please note, this is different from For the Evulz. Whereas a character who commits evil acts For the Evulz does so because they like seeing other people suffering, if this character does evil things it is only because they shatter the boredom of everyday life — the character's not out to hurt anyone per se, but they don't care (much) if they do.
They usually believe Victory Is Boring, and if they're a Punch-Clock Hero or a Punch-Clock Villain, they're in it primarily for the entertainment value. They're incredibly dangerous to trust, and even they know it, perhaps noting how foolish the hero is to trust them. In action movies, they can be a really awesome fighter, but they won't attack either side unless there's some entertainment value to be had, or if their life is in danger.
If they stick with the good guys all the way through, when victory comes, they may leave to have more wacky adventures, or maybe character development will have them taking things more seriously.
Just how much they care about collateral damage and hurting innocent people (if at all) varies. One of the few ways to really make an It Amused Me character take things seriously is to put one of their playthings in danger.
Often such a character will be the Wild Card, an Enigmatic Minion, The Troublemaker, or Chaotic Neutral. A common saying of The Trickster characters, the Eccentric Millionaire. But be wary of the character devolving into Chaotic Stupid.
As you may have noticed, the line dividing For the Evulz and It Amused Me is something of an academic distinction. It is often hard to tell from a single act whether a character enjoys evil actions solely for the amusement value of the acts (It Amused Me) or whether they also/mostly enjoy the thrill of acting evilly (For the Evulz). Generally, a character who truly does things For the Evulz will do things that aren't fun or interesting in the name of evil, which they seek at every opportunity — a character who does things because It Amused Them wouldn't bother because if it's not fun or interesting, why do it? Such characters are not necessarily without a sense of morality, as they have been known to minimize the collateral damage of their schemes, for example, or even to stop what they're doing if they think they're harming the 'wrong' person or people. Someone motivated by For the Evulz would never do this.
On the other end of the scale, when a villain repeatedly gives this justification for supporting the protagonists, it can overlap with I Was Just Passing Through.
The trope is usually all the motivation one needs if one is a Troll. See also The Gadfly, who does things that trolls do, but for reasons besides amusement.
Subtropes include Teasing from Behind the Language Barrier, Prank Punishment, Delighting in Riddles, and Loves Secrecy.

In Aladdin: The Series, this is why the entity called Chaos does what he does, for the most part, because he thinks spreading chaos and discord is fun. (Although, he does seem to like pissing off Mirage most of all.)

In Trading Places, the Duke brothers decided to do their "social experiment" out of boredom and for a $1 bet, and completely ruined one of the protagonist's lives (they did help the other protagonist, but that was really only out of boredom as well; they didn't give a damn about him, and were planning to ruin him afterwards as well).

The Mighty Thor: Loki has shades of this when he isn't doing things For the Evulz. Especially notable is the Marvel Adventures Loki who is far less malevolent and more just an omnipotent trickster. He even admits defeat after Captain America humiliated him and televised it to the the entire state of New York, impressed and amused that a mortal managed to pull off such an elaborate trick against the god of mischief.

In the Dragon Age series, several characters mention this being one of Flemeth's (the infamous Witch of the Wilds who is really the elven goddess Mythal) main qualities; she is not above helping someone in one instance only to lead them to their doom in the next, solely for the fun of it. Flemeth herself even admits this.

Uncle Time is an Odd Job God with this attitude.
Bun-bun can veer into this too if he's in a good mood, especially with his "friends", whom he has come to grudgingly care about a tiny little bit. For the Evulz is a better characterization for many of the things he does, though.

Urumi Kanzaki in Great Teacher Onizuka. While her actual reasons for hating adults is more complicated, she states her class terrorism to be a means of "killing time". Being a child prodigy leaves her often bored with the usual lectures, leading her to spend her class time giving teachers very hard questions, sabotaging their equipment, and other pranks. She eventually stopped coming to school altogether, until brought in by Miyabi to "kill time" with Onizuka.

Bart from The Simpsons is a personification of this trope. In the past, he has played pranks on his family, school faculty, and the town itself, but was usually remorseful if his pranks had hurt someone badly. In the more recent episodes, Bart pulls pranks just to get a laugh and make himself amused, no matter how bad someone gets hurt. He gets upset whenever someone does try to punish him for playing a prank too far, as if they took his only source of entertainment away.

Orochimaru from Naruto gives this as his reason for arranging the war against the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Also from the series, the Big Bad affected a goofball 'Tobi' persona for no tangible reason, especially since most of Akatsuki already knew it was fake, which can only lead to the conclusion that he did it for shits and giggles. And this might be why he pretended to be Madara, too.

The whole reason why Scamalot exists. Specifically, James Veitch, in his TED Talks on the subject, has given this as one of his two reasons for replying to obvious scams — he wants to annoy them as much as they annoy him (the other being that the scammers end up wasting their time on him instead of conning more gullible people).

Hannibal: This trope pretty much describes Hannibal's motives behind anything. In the show he's almost portrayed as an observer to the world, playing with people to see what they will do just because he's curious.
Summed up by Will in the Season 1 finale:

In Doom Valley Prep School, Fate does this occassionally. She'll pick a person to be her special project, and give them incredibly bad luck. She'll also give them just enough good luck that they can survive the often insane situations they end up in, and even come out on top if they're particularly clever. She does it often enough that people in the know call this unfortunate individual, Fate's Chew Toy.

In one episode of Highlander, Joe Dawson's daughter is kidnapped by an immortal with a grudge against Methos. In order to get her back, the immortal orders Joe to lead Methos to him for an ambush. All throughout the day and night, Methos talks about the bond growing between Joe and himself, and the unlikeliness of their friendship, until Joe finally snaps and tells the truth about the ambush, at which point Methos tells Joe that he's known all along. When Joe demands to know why Methos drew things out over the whole day, the explanation is: "I'm easily amused."

Dragon Ball:
Dragon Ball Z: This is the basis for all of Cell's actions after he becomes Perfect, especially his setting up the Cell Games. He even admits that he could just blow up the Earth and be done with it, but would much rather hunt down and kill every last human on the planet one by one, savoring their fear and despair as he does so, and then go to other planets and repeat the process because he finds it more entertaining.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus actually uses this to spare planets. Since his biggest two concerns are eating and napping (since his predominant emotion before meeting Goku was boredom), his usual procedure was to visit a world and demand their finest cuisine and sometimes luxury creature comforts. If he's pleased, he'll depart the planet peacefully, if not, well... Part of his Establishing Character Moment was that he was eating the food of a planet's best (and terrified) chefs; he liked the food, but deemed it too salty, so he destroyed a full half of the planet and left.

On the Dream SMP, this is Dream's reason for continuing to mess with Tommy. In his own words, Tommy is just "too fun" to not continue toying with. When Tommy asked him after the Doomsday War why Dream didn't just burn the discs (items of contention between Dream and Tommy, despite them being Tommy's in the first place) instead of completely destroying L'Manburg, Dream answered that destroying L'Manburg would be much more fun, to which Tommy responded by calling Dream a monster and saying that he had crossed the line.

Flash Gordon (1980). At the beginning of the movie Emperor Ming tells his Dragon Klytus that he's bored and asks him what plaything Klytus has for him. Klytus tells him about the Earth, and Ming starts inflicting a series of disasters on our planet. Later on he tells Flash Gordon that when he destroys planets, he does so for his (and the great god Dyzan's) "mutual pleasure".
Maybe a subversion because he tells Zardoff that he uses this method to test whether the people of Earth suspect Ming's existence. If they do, they are a threat and must be destroyed.

Harry Potter
Peeves the Poltergeist is a literal spirit of chaos. His pranks are never fatal, but there's nothing he loves more than causing trouble or shattering the monotony of daily life. Most of the teachers can exercise a limited degree of control over him, but the only people he listens to regularly are Albus Dumbledore, the Bloody Baron, and his human counterparts, the Weasley Twins (and that was only once, during their escape from Umbridge... and they asked him to do something he no doubt would've done anyway).
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Fudge spends the whole Quidditch World Cup trying to talk to the Bulgarian Minister of Magic, who apparently doesn't speak any English, with exaggerated hand and arm gestures. After the match, he is angered when it turns out the Minister does speak English. When he complains about having to make all those gestures for nothing, the Minister shrugs and says "Vell, it vas very funny."

The titular character of Toriko is this, without being on the side of evil anytime, whenever there's food involved that is. While venturing for a rare ingredient, there will most often be some Bishokuya that are after it for some overall good reason, but Toriko makes it blatantly obvious he just wants to eat it and nothing more. But there's always a villain after the ingredient to, so he ends up opening a can of whup-ass anyway because they violate his code.

In In the Company of Men, another take on the "Dangerous Liaisons" concept, a man named Chad, incensed at his girlfriend for leaving him, convinces a schlub named Howard to get revenge on womankind by targeting and psychologically tormenting a vulnerable deaf employee. When the plot backfires and Howard falls in love with her, he returns to Chad, who shows him his girlfriend lying in his bed. When he demands to know why then, did he encourage him to go down this road in the first place, Chad replies, "Because I could".

In Xiaolin Showdown, a time-displaced Omi is challenged by Grand Master Dashi to take a pebble from his palm, and if he does, he'll give the puzzle box to seal Wuya. After Omi's skills and use of Shen Gong Wu didn't work, he simply asked for the pebble, and it was given to him. When Omi asked Dashi why he allowed him to go through so much trouble just to get the box, His answer was: "Well first, it was funny." The real reason, however, was to teach Omi to think outside of the box when it comes to dealing with an enemy, considering he time travelled back in time to get another artifact that can reseal Wuya.

Everything the Janitor from Scrubs does to JD.
Kelso does this a few times as well. In fact, just about every character has one moment.
Jordan has explicitly described her motivation for tormenting people as "for funsies".
Dr. Cox constantly torments Nervous Wreck Doug Murphy for this reason, with notable cases being when Cox gives him 30 seconds to find a clipboard (that Cox is holding out of Murphy's line of sight) or this scene.
There was also that time he made Turk feel bad about betting on a patient's life for no other reason than "poops and giggles."
There's also this uncharacteristically depressing line from Dr. Cox where he explains that, while it just being fun for the sake of it is sometimes the motivation, more often it's because they need something fun to cope with all the awful things they see in a day.
The "ass box", which contains items removed from patients' rectums. The resulting cutaway consists of various people claiming they fell on it, then ends with a guy just admitting that he was bored.

Carmen Sandiego steals the hardest things in the universe to steal just to prove she can. The TV versions have it explained this way: She likes the challenge of detective work and outwitting people, but criminals aren't the brightest critters. The only people actually worth challenging were other detectives, but she couldn't do that as a good guy; time for a Face–Heel Turn, then. She considers her most glorious caper not to be stealing the Eiffel Tower, a country's entire gold supply, or anything of actual value... but stealing her own detective records from ACME itself.

A lot of what Chris McLean does in Total Drama is for his own amusement. He admits to putting a quicksand trap in one challenge for no particular reason, among other things. And while he does get crueler and more apathetic in later seasons, his main motivation for his deeds is either pumping more drama out of the show, or getting a few good laughs.

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Played for Drama. The only reason that Chloe's class (who are a bunch of bullies), pushed Chloe to fight Ash Ketchum (the Alola League Champion) was only because they all knew that she was never going to win and wanted to rub it in her face that she was a pathetic loser. They learn to heavily regret this later on when the entire world learns about their bullying and their parents drill it in that, since Chloe ran aawy from their bullying, then if she dies it's all on them.

This is why Magic Kaito's Kaito Kid does things like tie-dye people's underpants while they're still wearing them, use blinding pink sleeping-gas, and flip Aoko's skirt. On the part of the author, this is probably why Kaito has a phobia of fish and can't ice-skate.

The reason HK-47 in the Knights of the Old Republic series calls organics "meatbags" is because after Revan saw it annoyed Malak, HK-47 was reprogrammed to call ALL organics meatbags.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Parado's main reason for doing anything is either this trope or because it fits into his plan. Amusingly, he can often blends things together so well that they fit both. Then it gets interesting.

In With Strings Attached, Brox, Grunnel, and As'taris are sadistic practical jokers. Brox's given name is, in fact, "Funny." (The four would violently disagree with this.) Much of what Brox does is at least partially For the Lulz. Even Grunnel, who is genuinely fond of the four (at least, they're not his enemies), pulls some fairly nasty shit on them, including making them climb a hundred-foot staircase and not bothering to warn George that Ma'ar is a nympho or of her, um, tendencies during sex.

In So I'm a Spider, So What?, this is the sole motivation of Evil God D. She even outright admits to Kumoko that she's observing her solely for the entertainment of watching a weak spider struggle to survive.
The worst instance of this is her creation of the Skill System to prevent a global catastrophe. She could have simply invested some of her own energy to do so, but she thought this method would be more entertaining. It just required another goddess to be trapped for thousands of years as a living battery while millions if not billions of souls reincarnate into a hellish existence. And just to add insult to injury, she got bored with the whole thing and ignored it in favor of video games.
Late in the story when Shiraori is on the verge of victory and dismantling the System, D reveals her plans to the entire world, framed in the worst possible light, and issues a "World Quest" to side with or against Shiraori. This combined with forcing Taboo on everyone, increasing potential casualties when the System collapses, inspires Gyurie to fight even harder and triggers a devastating world war. All of it to amuse D.

The Order of the Stick
Most of Belkar's actions are either this or For the Evulz. He particularly likes messing with other people's heads in harmless but disturbing ways. Often, he'll do something that people don't expect from him just because it will confuse them, like paranoia-inducing bouts of niceness.
Xykon also entertains himself in ways that straddle the line between this trope and For the Evulz:

This is Kester's main motivation at the start of Seven Years Awesome Luck, since he's hundreds of years old; he changes Trick back into a cat just to watch what will happen, and keeps Trick's mother from finding him, but also assigns his familiar to keep Trick safe. He comes to a Heel Realization partway through the story after being on the receiving end of magic, and resolves to start treating people as people.

In one episode of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Makoto confronts the Monster of the Week (who is in a human disguise) and asks him why he plays with the hearts of young women before stealing their energy. The monster simply smirks and says, "It's fun." (Makoto then says, "Fuck you!" and punches him square in the face. This was before she awakened as Sailor Jupiter, by the way.)

Undertale: The only reason the Big Bad has for anything he's doing. He's actually not sadistic, per se, he just finds how people react to cruelty and suffering to be more interesting than how they react to happiness. In the "No Mercy" path, Flowey explains that, at one point, he tried (and succeeded in) making everyone in the Underground happy, but as it failed to evoke any empathy in him, he slowly got ground down to The Sociopath we see in the game, harming and manipulating others just to find any kind of alleviation from his sheer boredom.

The man with the hat from xkcd, given that most of his character is based around his nonchalant cruelty. His exploits include feeding rocks to children in parks; selling angry bobcats to people through the internet in place of office chairs; and pretending to smile at people on trains, so that when they smile back, he has an opportunity to leer at them.

The motive for Lu Bu's involvement in the battles of Guandu and Chibi in Dynasty Warriors 6. Lu Bu took part in these battles in the hope that he could find some amusement. He thought that Chibi had its interesting moments. But at Guandu, he thought that the armies of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were nothing but pathetic worms squirming about. It also didn't concern him that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Quan took offence to his intrusions.

Marvel Universe:
Deadpool: This trope is Deadpool's prime motivation. For example, he once fought Bullseye while wearing a meatsuit, solely for this reason.
Fantastic Four: The Impossible Man is like this. His only real goal in life is to have fun, seeing as his entire race might have been bored to death if Galactus hadn't done them in.
The Mighty Thor: Loki has shades of this when he isn't doing things For the Evulz. Especially notable is the Marvel Adventures Loki who is far less malevolent and more just an omnipotent trickster. He even admits defeat after Captain America humiliated him and televised it to the the entire state of New York, impressed and amused that a mortal managed to pull off such an elaborate trick against the god of mischief.
Thanos gives this as his reason for aiding Annihilus in Annihilation; just to see what would happen if the universal balance was completely thrown off-kilter.

When Admiral Leary is ordered to leave Captain Badaya in charge of the fleet, he suspects it's because leaders at Fleet Command who want to carry out a coup against the civilian government expect Badaya, a notorious loose cannon and no lover of the civilian government, will do something to precipitate a crisis they can take advantage of. When Leary returns and nothing has happened, Badaya, who had otherwise no idea what was going on, recognized the fact the only reason he'd have been given command was because of the expectation he would do something outrageous. So, he found it hilarious to utterly confound whoever was trying to use him by doing absolutely nothing outside of his established orders.

Xellos, from Slayers. After about fifteen episodes' worth of hunting for the Claire Bible, it turns out that he knew where it was all along. He just didn't tell Lina and the others because he found it more entertaining to watch their antics as they went on multiple wild goose chases for the better part of a season. He also is prone to "forgetting" to state key pieces of information to watch the results.

In the 2013 musical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mike Teavee gets elevated from the Spoiled Brat of the book to an Enfant Terrible via this trope. The reason he is allowed to play all the video games, etc. he wants because it's the only thing that he enjoys doing that doesn't run the risk of bringing harm upon himself or — far more often — others, and no adult in his life is able to control him otherwise. When he isn't glued to a screen, he's setting a cat on fire, chloroforming a nurse, stealing a German tank, etc. and according to his mother "the authorities request/That little Mike not leave the house." Instead of simply finding a Golden Ticket in a Wonka Bar, he steals one directly by hacking the Wonka Factory computers — and it's suggested that he didn't want the prize so much as the thrill of outsmarting Mr. Wonka in this manner. Come the day of the tour, Mike's constant need for quick amusement leads to him deciding to try out the Television Chocolate setup on himself; once he's zapped into Cyberspace he runs amok there too before he's "retrieved" by the others.

4chan and its associated... things (e.g., Encyclopedia Dramatica) are very much known for their primary modus operandi: "doing it for the lulz" and "we are not your personal army." They don't care about right or wrong, they care that it is funny. Generally this means they will piss off whatever can be pissed off because that generally gets the funniest reactions, but they've done neutral and even good things purely because it was funny to them. Here are a few of their high-profile casesnote Controversial ones like "The Fappening" will not be mentioned:
There's an infamous case where some Anon sent emails to The Oprah Winfrey Show bragging about their strength as an organized syndicate of child molesters (rest assured, they aren't) just so they could trick Oprah into saying "over 9000 penises" on national television.
4chan has hijacked whatever online campaigns they've come across. They manipulated an online poll to make North Korea the next destination for Justin Bieber's upcoming tour; hijacked another one to trick Taylor Swift into singing for students in a deaf school; tried to make Victor◊ the new mascot of Kinder chocolate bars in Kazakhstan (is nice!)note They failed three times.; tried feeding an anti-abortion Twitter bot that generated names for the unborn with ridiculous names (they later went for the Loophole Abuse route when they discovered the bot could post Twitter handles, images, porns, etc.); tried naming Mountain Dew's new flavour "Hitler did nothing wrong" through the official poll; and so on.
/b/ made a Tumblr account called "steven-universe-edits" just so they could post whitewashed fanarts of the SU characters. The reason? To trigger the toxic fandom there.
This is the entire reason why they began playing non-consensual Capture the Flag with Shia LaBeouf during his "He Will Not Divide Us" campaign. As soon as they realized there was a game to be had geolocating that flag and stealing it, and that it would irritate Shia, they coined the phrase "weaponized autism" and became such Scarily Competent Trackers that they located the flag in only around 36 hours... by cross-referencing time-zones, ambient wildlife sounds, flight patterns, and the stars in the sky. And they just kept messing with it, finding new and exciting things to do to that flag. As soon as Shia effectively admitted defeat and simply locked the flag in a house, they decided it wasn't fun anymore and moved on to do bigger and better things.
4chan once banded together and raised tens of thousands of dollars for The Fine Young Capitalists, a feminist charity that was raising money to encourage female game developers to enter the industry. Their only motivation was finding out that Zoe Quinn had attempted to sabotage the event, and they knew undermining her attempts by signal-boosting it and giving it money would greatly piss her off. It worked, and both "Vivian James" and "The Cathedral of Misogyny" were born as memes.

In the "Hero Mode" of Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, the reason the Earth gets thrown into chaos with the Black Star Dragon Balls is because Omega Shenron thinks, quote, "peace is boring".

Dax is one of the most trustworthy and dutiful officers on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and very reliable when it comes to important things. However, being over 350 years old and having seen and done more things than most people ever will, she outright refuses to give in to boredom and instead constantly works to keep her life exciting and entertaining. For some reason, this includes marrying the most uptight and humorless Klingon in the galaxy.

Rebuild World: When Akira asks his Virtual Sidekick Alpha why some of the Mechanical Monster and Weaponized Animal designs he fights seem so odd or hobbled, Alpha explains that the Artificial Intelligence installed by the Precursors to run the factories making these droids, after hundreds of years, simply got bored and designed their monsters as such for kicks.

Lucifer had Beelzebub join the fight for the Throne Of Bel for this reason. He's also willing to fight you as an Optional Boss because he's basically bored.

Batman: Whereas most incarnations of the Joker are a For the Evulz Monster Clown, some versions of the character (particularly Golden/Silver Age ones) fall into this category.

In Green Lantern: The Animated Series, when Hal tries to recruit Kilowog to travel with him on a new mission. Kilowog, however, has gone back to teaching new Lanterns. He does agree to join in if Hal can beat his best student, Ch'p, a cute looking squirrel like creature, who proceeds to be the ever-loving tar out of Hal without even giving him a chance to fight back. Kilowog then admits he was going to join him anyway. He just wanted to see Hal "fight the squirrel."

Gargoyles: The whole episode "The Mirror" consists of faerie trickster Puck trolling Demona at every step, and having a blast doing it. Given that she wants him to Kill All Humans for her, we should probably be happy that he's so uncooperative.
Likewise the episode "Possession," he's actually kind of doing something nice for our heroes... in the most convoluted and annoying way that he can think of.

Two minor characters from Teen Titans (2003), Thunder and Lightning, terrorize people because they find it "amusing". They don't take the feelings of the people around them into account, something Beast Boy calls them out on. (Thunder eventually realized that they were hurting people and turned on his brother, and Lightning eventually figured it out too, just in time for them to help stop the real threat.) Thunder and Lightning are loosely based off of Japanese thunder gods (Raijin, in particular) who are said to cause all sorts of destructive mischief for their own amusement.
In another episode, the team encounters a green, extraterrestrial dog, which they mistake for a Shapeshifter Mode Locked Beast Boy. After some wacky hijinks, the dog explains the situation to them.

Journey to Chaos: Trickster gods in general do these things for amusement, because they are all children of the Goddess of Chaos. During A Mage's Power alone we have the following examples.
Tasio the Trickster is a public nuisance in every city of Tariatla. According to a Roalt city wall commander, he would destroy a civilization or raise it to a new level of prosperity on a whim. "Most of the time, he's just a pest."
Zaticana, the goddess of language, caused a Curse of Babel because she thought the resulting confusion would be hilarious.

In The Testament of Sister New Devil, Yahiro Takigawa, a boy at Mio and Basara's school, mentions befriending the latter because he found it amusing how he instantly became hated by all the guys at school due to being fought over by Mio and Yuki, another girl in his class that seems to be a childhood friend and like Mio, is considered an untouchable idol by the boys. When Basara asks if that wouldn't be a problem for him as well being associated with him, Yahiro casually mentions throwing him under the bus if it ever came down to it.

Taskmaster:
Sometimes Greg will force people to do "individual" tasks that no one else has to do, purely for his own amusement. The first time ever is in Series 1 when he forces Josh Widdicombe to count how many beans there are in a tin, under the pretense that everyone is doing that task and it's worth points. Unlike other solo tasks which aren't worth points, which are generally brought on by something that contestant was doing (like Mel Giedroyc being too positive), he purely did this for his own amusement. Then he made Josh do the exact same with a can of spaghetti hoops. Then he made him do it again with a bag of rice. Josh got no points for any of these either. And, of course, when Josh reappeared on Champions of Champions Greg got him again by making him, and only him, sing along to the Taskmaster theme song, again receiving no points.
In Series 9, most of the things Rhod Gilbert did was to either irritate or annoy The Taskmaster, often to the point he'd go in knowing it was going to cost him the task. He repeatedly brought in the exact same photo of Greg "looking fat", photographed Greg's mother wearing a fez in the bath, frequently abused Alex, and generally just went wild for no other reason than he found it funny.
During the Series 13 task "Enable Alex to bite his duck", Chris Ramsey became so annoyed with it that, after finally completing it, he just began spraying Alex in the face purely to let off some steam. At first he declared he was doing it for The Taskmaster, but soon relented and admitted he did it purely for his own enjoyment.

In the infamous torture scene from Reservoir Dogs, this is Mr. Blonde's stated motive: "Look, kid, I'm not going to bullshit you, all right?

Par for the course in Death Note:
In the first chapter, Ryuk, a god of death, drops his notebook of death in the human world because he's bored. It falls into the hands of Light Yagami, who decides to use it to try bending the world to his will because, he explains, he too is bored, though his boredom extends to the point of outright disgust. He plays far too many unnecessary — but entertaining — mind games with the police for it to be anything else.
Light's primary antagonist L, a supergenius detective, as an expy of Sherlock Holmes, chases Light's alter ego for the lulz. Part of L's reputation, again like Sherlock Holmes, is that he refuses to take on a case that doesn't interest and challenge him, even though he's leagues above the rest of the world's police.
L's behavior is imitated by his fellow detectives and successors Near (who wants to win the game) and Mello (who wants to defeat Near in the game). This is made apparent in the first special one-shot chapter when Near refuses to try and go after C-Kira because he wasn't interested. He believes L would have done the same.

In Danganronpa, the mastermind Monokuma/Junko Enoshima sets up the killing game for this reason. More specifically, having the talent of the Ultimate Analyst makes her the second smartest person on Earth, giving her the ability to predict trends and actions, so everything in life is extremely boring for her — except despair, which she finds to be unpredictable, and thus the only source of amusement for her in life. Even her own despair thrills her, leading to her building routes for her to lose into her plans. In fact, after killing most of humanity and destroying almost the entire world on an environmental level, she is only defeated when she chooses to allow it, as it’s more amusing and she’s looking forward to the despair of death.

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Z reveals to the Heroes during their confrontation with him at the end of the game that he set up the Forever War between Keves and Agnus simply for his own entertainment. Of course, since Z is the Anthropomorphic Personification of humanity's fear of the unknown future, a living computer virus in the Reality Warper Origin system, what he's actually saying is that humanity would rather kill themselves over and over in a literally pointless war than risk giving up what they already have.

ReBoot, Season 4. Megabyte disguises himself as Bob and tries to marry Dot. When asked why he wo do this, he cites this trope verbatim.
Also his sister, Hexadecimal. In spite of being a virus, she will mostly keep to herself until she gets an idea. Her most successful diabolical plot actually was targeting her brother. The rest of Mainframe falling victim to it was just an amusing side effect. She only picked a side near the end, and it wasn't "siding with Mainframe" so much as "siding with Bob". The only reason that she would defend Mainframe at that point would be because it would distract Bob, make him unhappy, and not want to chat.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus actually uses this to spare planets. Since his biggest two concerns are eating and napping (since his predominant emotion before meeting Goku was boredom), his usual procedure was to visit a world and demand their finest cuisine and sometimes luxury creature comforts. If he's pleased, he'll depart the planet peacefully, if not, well... Part of his Establishing Character Moment was that he was eating the food of a planet's best (and terrified) chefs; he liked the food, but deemed it too salty, so he destroyed a full half of the planet and left.

Odd Squad: As shown in a couple episodes, Oprah has no problem acting on impulse and tormenting her agents for her own amusement, although what she does heavily pales in comparison to the villains. Perhaps the biggest example of this is in "High Maintenance", where she swaps the departments of Olympia and Otis, and O'Mary and Obby, for no reason other than the fact that she wants to see the outcome — and that comes after she remarks "that may have been a bad idea".

The Elder Scrolls:
This seems to be the primary motivation for Sanguine, the Daedric Prince of Debauchery and Hedonism. He seems to exist for the purpose of tempting mortals into sin through various vices, and his Myriad Realms of Revelry in Oblivion constantly reform to become the pleasure paradise of whoever is visiting. In Oblivion, he sends the player on a quest in which his/her task is to cast a spell that removes all clothes from everyone affected in a middle of a prominent nobles' banquet (and fails to inform him/her that he/she will also become one of its victims). In Skyrim, after sharing a few drinks with a disguised Sanguine, the character wakes up in a completely diferent city at least a day after, and can set out on a quest to rediscover what it was s/he was doing in the meantime (which included wedding rings, goats, and temple desecration).
While Sanguine is the most prominent example, this seems to be the modus operandi for most of the Daedric Princes (though some mix it with their Blue-and-Orange Morality). In Oblivion, Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of Corruption, uses the player to corrupt the soul of an honorable paladin just because he can. Meanwhile, Boethiah, Prince of Plots, organizes a brutal tournament for the player for no real reason; he's just bored. And if Sheogorath is involved, chances are this trope will be invoked. Or not. It depends on his mood, really. When he gives you the Wabbajack, it's probably just because he wants to see what you'll do with it.

A Song of Ice and Fire. Jaime Lannister gives this as a reason for some of his actions, especially the occasional altruistic ones; after being made drunk and forced into swearing an oath at sword-point, he decides to keep it, simply because he thinks it will be funny for the Kingslayer to keep an unreasonable oath that nobody in Westeros would blame him for breaking. Eventually he discovers that Good Feels Good, and acts more honourably for that reason, but this is the excuse he gives to anyone who questions his actions, and he never loses his contemptuous Deadpan Snarker attitude.

In One Piece, this is Mihawk's justification for destroying Don Krieg's fleet and pursuing the survivors: He was bored, and they were there. He also allows Zoro to live following their duel for the same reason: Zoro has potential to be amusing for a very long time, once he Takes a Level in Badass. And after the Time Skip, that's just what he's done... thanks to Mihawk himself teaching him the ways of the sword. Zoro proposing that is the only thing in the series so far that made Mihawk laugh.
In fact, it seems the more powerful someone is, the more likely they are to do immoral and/or pointless things for kicks. Crocodile constantly sent sandstorms to Yuba to keep hindering the efforts of an optimistic old man searching for water. He even admits that there's no point in doing so as it has no connection to his Evil Plan; he's just doing it For the Evulz.

The DCU:
Batman: Whereas most incarnations of the Joker are a For the Evulz Monster Clown, some versions of the character (particularly Golden/Silver Age ones) fall into this category. Like Joker's wild manner as portrayed in the animated show The Batman where he (although still wishing to either destroy Gotham or turn it into madness) will do things "...just for laughs..."
Superman: The Prankster's only real goal is to pull the biggest practical jokes on the largest number of people possible, and his favorite target is the most powerful being on Earth.

The West Wing: In the first season episode "Celestial Navigation", when C.J. returns from her dentist appointment, and Josh sees her:
A little later in the scene, when C.J. suggests Sam replace her for the press briefing she's supposed to do, Josh tells her Sam's in Foggy Bottom, and when C.J. asks what Sam is doing there, Josh laughs again and admits he wanted to see if he could make her say Foggy Bottom.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Ryomen Sukuna's sole motivation is to indulge himself, more often than not at the expense of everyone else. During the Shibuya Incident, after Jogo uses his Maximum Technique to summon a meteor to attack him with, Sukuna moves towards Kusakabe and Panda's position and forbids them, along with the curse users standing nearby, from trying to escape the meteor until he verbally allows them to, promising to mercilessly kill anyone who disobeys him even though they are not a threat to him and he stands to gain nothing from the situation. Because they know just how overwhelmingly powerful Sukuna is, no one dares to move a muscle.

The Bible: Proverbs 16, verse 27-29 reads, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece. An evil man sows strife; gossip separates the best of friends. Wickedness loves company—and leads others into sin." In other words, an unoccupied or bored individual will get up to all kinds of mischief and sin to alleviate their boredom. Best to stay busy, then.

Touhou Project has a lot of this:
Fairies have little restraint, less sense of mortality (being immortal as long as the aspect of nature they represent exists), and very poor memories, resulting in an entire species of perpetual children that never learn from their mistakes, resulting in them doing things that make no sense other than because they thought it would be funny. A lot of Touhou Sangetsusei is about the Three Mischievous Fairies invoking this trope.
Tewi, Nue, and Mamizou are all canonically pranksters. Tewi is prone more to scamming, but still sometimes screws with people for no gain, and it's not clear if she has any real use for money.
Seiga spends most of her time floating around people who interest her or working on bizarre scams.
Several incidents essentially happened because someone with too much power got bored, most obviously Tenshi in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, though this has lessened in more recent games.
Fanon tends to portray this as the major driving force for Yukari and Yuuka, but canon doesn't particularly back this up. In Yukari's case, canon holds that she spends most of her time simply sleeping. According to herself.

Joel Suzuki: In Secret of the Songshell, this is Marshall Byle's motive for wanting to steal all of Spectraland's Aura, the magical force that pervades the island, and return to Earth with his godlike powers. Becoming a famous rock star failed to make him happy, but he's convinced that once he has the ability to turn the sky purple, or take out his bad moods by wiping out entire countries, he'll never be bored again. Felicity points out that after a while he'll get used to his powers and become as dissatisfied as ever, but he doesn't think that will happen for a long time.

Twisted Wonderland: Floyd Leech is entirely motivated by his own amusement; he'll be very invested in things he's interested in and flat-out refuse to do anything he's not.

El Goonish Shive:
It was revealed that the Hammers that all women can call forth to painfully (but harmlessly) reprimand offensive men actually cause more offensive actions/comments because it's a funny reaction. The immortal who created them did so for the gag factor. Susan is NOT amused.
It's brought up again with regards to why people are suddenly gaining Magic Marks (Pandora Chaos Raven is covertly giving them to people):
In Sister 3, it's revealed that this was once Pandora's reason for almost everything she did. Although this probably applies to a lot of older immortals, Pandora was the most extreme example, to the point where she reached the point of "I have done everything I could possibly do to amuse myself" 50 years before average. It's also her reason for most of the things she does in the series, excluding the ones related to her family. Raven also accuses her of marking people purely out of boredom, instead of the many alternative reasons she claims to have; and he's got a point, given that her primary claim is that it's for him, the person most opposed to it.

During the Kirigakure Civil War arc, a fight breaks out between Mei Terumi and Zabuza Momochi for the right to be Mizukage. Jiraiya tries to stop it, but Tsunade tells him to let them fight, since it's more fun than the soap operas she watches.
Much later, during the Fourth Ninja War arc, Anko comments that the only reason she can think for Orochimaru to bring back Mizuki as an Edo Tensei zombie is because he found it funny.

When he first breaks free, he immediately starts throwing Equestria into chaos with cotton candy clouds that rain chocolate milk, corn popping spontaneously in the fields, and apples growing to tremendous sizes and making the rabbits that eat them grow long deer-like legs. He does end up purposely "breaking" and brainwashing the Mane Six, but it's ambiguous whether even this puts him over the line into For the Evulz territory — they essentially declared themselves his enemies first, after all, and once they're no longer a threat he leaves them alone.
His reappearance in the third-season episode "Keep Calm and Flutter On" seems to confirm this. Here, Discord is shown as simply a powerful jerkass who wants his own way and resents having the threat of the Elements of Harmony held over his head while the ponies try to "reform" him more or less against his will — but who may also be at least somewhat redeemable after all.

Doctor Who: The Doctor, occasionally, when this particular era isn't giving him a Freudian Excuse for his travels. In Nightmare of Eden, when his interrogator is trying to get him to tell him who he works for, he insists "I don't work for anyone. I'm just having fun."
When asked for his name, rank, and intention in "The Waters of Mars": "The Doctor. Doctor. Fun."

The Logia Brothers: Akuma is motivated entirely by his desire to be entertained, which is the whole reason he gave Luffy and his brothers Devil Fruits. If Sengoku's comments are anything to go by, he's known to wipe out entire islands for his own amusement.

This is usually the reason why Beetlejuice does much of anything (well, either this or to make money). He has a literal license to drive people crazy and enjoys using it. He's occasionally reined in by his adored Morality Chain, who is the only person he will actually heed, but she's sometimes guilty of this too.

Most of Hisoka's actions in Hunter × Hunter, if not ALL of them, are based around either finding someone strong to fight against or building someone up to become someone strong to fight against, to the point of calling a battle off if he finds out his designated adversary can no longer fight. Hisoka behaves like this because he gets incredibly sexually aroused fighting a Worthy Opponent.

Although he definitely has a certain ethical desire to aid the good and punish the wicked, the nameless protagonist of Yojimbo seems to be motivated a fair amount by this. He only got involved in the gang war by throwing a branch in the air and he is clearly amused by the prospect of earning a little cash while exterminating the two gangs by playing them against each other.

Taken to its logical extreme in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Double Trouble has no stake in the war yet helps the Horde conquer Salineas and nearly all of Etheria while destroying Glimmer's relationship with her friends solely for money and chaos. Afterwards, they give the Horde the same treatment when Glimmer hires them by tricking Catra into sending her troops into an ambush, decimating them, and turning Hordak against her. When it's all done, Double Trouble returns one last time just to rub it in and see Catra's horrified face.

Apparently played straight in Atlas Shrugged when Francisco d'Anconia builds a worthless copper mine, just to have a laugh when a socialist government loots it to provide a "higher standard of living for the people", only to find it worthless. He tells reporters shortly before the story breaks that he came to New York to "witness the farce" (everybody thought he was referring to a sleazy divorce scandal). Shortly afterwards, we find him telling Dagny how amused he was at the prospect of the collapse of Wyatt Oil and all of the world's great industries that he would destroy with more apparent pranks. Later subverted when we find out that he is one of the "destroyers" (or strikers) who is destroying industry so the looters will gain nothing of value and capitalism can start anew after their downfall.

Xom of Dungeon Crawl, who likes to give you really nice weapons that you have no skill in, give you armor while you're wearing (unremovable) cursed armor, watch you eat poisonous food, and so on. And that's when he's being "nice". When he's feeling mean towards you or, heaven forbid, you begin to bore him, he'll summon demons at you, give you potentially horrid mutations, enchant your enemies' weapons, or get really creative and make all stairs to leave the current level move around and slide away from you when you try to flee. Also, throwing a bolt of divine lightning at you is considered a "good" effect, and he has a chance of shielding you from it (it's "good" because your enemies get zapped too... assuming you were fighting something that was more of a threat than a bolt of lightning).

In fact, he's filthy rich and a capable engineer, inventor, actor, chemist, gymnast, car racer and detective, and could easily support himself honestly with any of those professions or by simply marketing his perfect masks. Also, he'll occasionally prank Ginko or someone else just to enjoy their reaction.

In the Star Wars Legends novel The Truce at Bakura, Jerk with a Heart of Gold Imperial officer Thanas secretly admired the Jedi, and in a meeting with Luke Skywalker asks to see him demonstrate his lightsaber usage. When Luke politely declines Thanas then orders two stormtroopers to fire on him, not taking no for an answer. Luke then incredulously points out that he could've lost two of his men, only for Thanas to shrug it off and reply that he knew Luke wouldn't endanger the truce by killing them.

Do note, he has never been in on the quest, he pretty much just tags along because of the opportunity for destruction, the pleasure of killing, and the fact that watching Cale attempt to convince the survivors of Richard's onslaughts to forgive him on his lapses in morality, and steadily getting more and more disillusioned and cynical as the adventure unfolds, relieves him of boredom.
Later on, it is explained he has a good... well, he has a reason: being an evil psychopathic Jerkass was fueling his power as a semi-immortal regenerating lich. As he actually started to care, he felt some amount of pain when injured for the first time in who knows how long. He seems to come to feel that the cost is getting too high.

In The Innocent (1994), this is Bates and Tinsley's motive for shooting up and robbing convenience stores. They like killing people, and they especially like knowing everyone is scared of them. At one point one of them yells at the city from an overlook, "WE OWN YOUUUU!"

In Negima! Magister Negi Magi, Tsukuyomi pretty much has this as her modus operandi. Unfortunately, the things that seem to amuse her are excessive violence, and Setsuna.
Evangeline also fits this perfectly. She loves giving Negi outrageous orders just to see if he'll go through with them, such as demanding that he lick her feet before she would teach him magic.
Haruna is also like this, although in a (slightly) more benign way.

The Umgah of Star Control II are essentially intergalactic pranksters. Their favorite targets are the Lovable Coward Spathi, whom they like to scare the pants off of, but they also trick the Ilwrath into fighting a civil war and another race, and declaring the main character a "Great Enemy" For the Lulz after he releases them from mind control (although they do give him rewards first). When you rescue their entire race from Mind Control, they gladly thank you by giving you half a dozen of their ships... and then attack you with endless waves of identical ones. Nothing stopping you from just running away with your "reward", of course, but it says a lot about them that they will hand over some of their own ships and crews, just to make sure you put up a good challenge when they immediately betray you.

On the Firefly episode "Shindig", Mal stands victorious over Atherton Wing whom he has just, through fortunate happenstance, defeated in a duel. Upon being told he must kill him rather than allow him to lie there in defeat, he replies, "Mercy is the mark of a great man," then lightly stabs Wing in the abdomen. "Guess I'm just a good man." He then stabs him again and finishes with, "Well, I'm all right." Upon being chastised with, "You didn't have to wound that man.", Mal quips back, "Yeah, I know, it was just funny."
River seems to make commentary designed to deliberately anger or annoy Jayne just because it is amusing to her. Particularly when she insinuated that he has a "girl's name" and solemnly warns him that "I can kill you with my brain."

Similar to Bart, Family Guy's Peter Griffin will cause random shenanigans just for a quick giggle, no matter what the outcome of it is.

The King of Super villains, The Dark is sometimes prone to this in Brennus. His daughter Gloom Glimmer claims the reason the old system for classifying superpowers was so confusing, was because he used his powers to sneak into the meeting of scientists creating it and telepathically screw with their heads. The reason? He was bored. Later in the story, when Wyrm questions why he didn't cut ties with Mindstar after discovering someone had altered her and Basil's memories of their lives before living in New Lennston he responds with: "And ruin the suspense? This is the most interesting thing to happen in years!" Cue Face Palm from Wyrm.

Code Prime:
Megatron's reason for allowing Lelouch to continue with the rebellion and Suzaku with his goals of changing Britannia was because he took a certain delight in seeing the two boys' friendship fall apart and become enemies.
This is also the reason he kept V.V. around despite his rebellious attitude against him and his inability to deal with Optimus and Lelouch even with his new body as Nemesis Prime because Megatron enjoyed seeing V.V. constantly fall from the pedastal he placed himself on, until Megatron stole his Code after his failures start to become predictable.
C.C.'s justification for going swimming outside the Ark, which is currently at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean: she was particularly bored at that moment.
Airachnid's reason for slaughtering dozens of people in the ghettos? She was bored and considered it a hobby.

Celestia sometimes does some rather unethical things when trying to relieve her boredom in Diaries of a Madman, particularly where she allows Rarity and Nav to be arrested for treason, simply so she could see what happens. There's also a Noodle Incident where she claims to have spent an entire year disguised as a chair to see the results.

Saiyuki has numerous examples. Heaven is unchanging, and therefore said to be MINDNUMBINGLY DULL, which provides the motivation for the "merciful goddess" Kanzeon to do all sorts of things, from saddling her notoriously dull nephew with the heretic monkey-like Goku in Gaiden, just for the lolz, to forcing Sanzo and his party to take the physical road to India instead of the heavenly one, which would get there infinitely faster. She says the latter is 'cause they need to grow over the journey, but admits it's also because it's much more interesting that way.
While Kanzeon is a bit of a bitch, she's ultimately on the side of the main characters, if only because one is her nephew, but Nii/Kenyuu/Ukoku is a genius who finds everything in life so easy it's deadly dull, so seeks out "eat or be eaten" situations so as to feel alive/find a challenge he can't meet so he can die. He is shocked by Koumyou's comment that since he finds everything boring, he must be a boring person. Koumyou is also a super-genius who in contrast is very lazy, avoids difficult situations, and can find joy in almost anything.

Heartseed in Kokoro Connect constantly explains that the reason he continually screws with the protagonists' mental and physical states (i.e. switching bodies, releasing their innermost desires, reversing their ages, and allowing them to hear each other's thoughts) is for no greater reason than it entertains him to watch them constantly struggle. The light novel explains that he is actually doing it to prepare them for facing Second, who is legitimately messing with them out of malicious intent, but the anime adaption never got that far, due in large part to the extremely cruel "prank" several of the Japanese crew and cast members pulled on an auditioning voice actor.

The animated series The Adventures of Letterman (a regular segment from the 1970s live-action series The Electric Company: The motivation of the segment's villain, the Spellbinder. Sometimes, it is harmless fun, such as turning custard into red-hot mustard, but too often the Spellbinder got his yuks at turning planes into plants, railroad bridges into ridges and school buses into octopuses, and freeing a hungry, angry lion from his cage and making him go into a rage... and the victims would be entire classes of children, their teachers and chaperones. So seeing young children suffer and possibly be killed... all because the Spellbinder might say, "It Amused Me!" (Fortunately, the series' protagonist, Letterman, was always there to put a stop to it.)

In the anime, he does something similar to an elite Spirit World warrior who's actually scared Yusuke's youkai side has awakened, so Yusuke Trolls him for a while before finally going, "Relax, you sap. I'm not an evil demon. I'm just Yusuke."

The characters in the Contractually Obligated Chaos series eventually conclude that the plot is a Sentient Cosmic Force which is amusing itself at their expense. (The source material is the Beetlejuice cartoon, so It Makes Sense in Context.) It's a generally benevolent force, but prone to putting them in peculiar situations, and this is suggested to be its entire motivation.

In Twin Star Exorcists, this is the explanation Kamui gives for most, if not all, of his actions. He states outright that his "hobby" is leaving mostly sadistic choices to humans, although it can be anything from "Do you want to die with your head crushed or your body squashed?" to "Do you want me to give you power or die?", immediately followed by "I'll wait while I count down to ten.". The reason he even considers the former is because he likes fighting strong opponents.

Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation, who it is theorized may be related in some way. Though most Trek fans tend to forget the pilot episode where Q has a very clear reason for doing what he does: to "prosecute and judge" humanity as a directive from the Q Continuum. The audience is reminded of this in the series' final episode, too, when Picard finds himself back in the same court room he encountered Q in the first time:
And by the end of that episode, Q subverts everything again by also acting secretly as Picard's defense against the judgment of the Q Continuum, and had been doing so since roughly halfway through the series, after Picard and crew saved his life while he was briefly depowered. This of course didn't stop Q from screwing with Picard and crew in relatively minor ways as secret tests of character at the same time.
One of the novels has Q say that everything he put Picard through was part of a grand scheme, then add the only reason he sent Picard and company to Sherwood Forest was just to see him in tights.
