Schadenfreude is a German word that means "the joy you get at seeing other people's misfortune" (Schaden = "damage", Freude = "joy"). (This phrase is commonly mistranslated as "shameful joy.") In other words, the "point-and-laugh" school of comedy. The Sadist Show is built on it. In this kind of show, there are no sympathetic characters whatsoever, and nobody will ever Pet the Dog. Everybody is both obnoxious and incompetent, beyond even the Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist. The audience can't really root for them, so the fun is in seeing the characters suffer more than they deserve, more than Job, more than possibly everybody in the history of the human race combined. In short, it's a comedy, but not in the Shakespearean sense. And not just any old misfortune like getting an Anvil on Head. The agony in a Sadist Show is a very sharp kind, the one that reminds you how totally unfair life is. It isn't a Sadist Show unless the characters suffer the very opposite of poetic justice. For instance, if our Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist has been mugged, that's not enough. If the poor dope runs to report the mugging, and is arrested for jaywalking, and has to sit in jail while the mugger walks past their cell every day, that's the Sadist Show. Sometimes, there will be a character who the audience kind of sort of roots for, but not really. One form is the No-Respect Guy (like Frylock from Aqua Teen Hunger Force) who tries to act decent but fails. However, the audience doesn't exactly root for them, because they're so ineffective, and they're usually a bit of a stick in the mud too. Another form is a Heroic Sociopath, who is as vile as the rest of the cast but is at least competent (like Brock Sampson from The Venture Bros.). But they're too evil to really cheer for, and how sympathetic can they be if they're stuck with the rest of these losers? The Venture Bros., with its emphasis on failure, reminds us that Brock may be competent, but he's in a pointless dead-end gig, and one that he is so over-qualified for that it's humiliating. Note that this can be somewhat subjective, depending on how sympathetic and/or interesting one finds a character, a cast, or a situation. This kind of show almost always has Negative Continuity, so the writers can inflict any kind of torment they like (including killing them off over and over again) without affecting future episodes. Often overlaps with the Grossout Show. An Immoral Reality Show will usually be this in-universe. Maybe the result, cause, or overlap with a Crapsack World. Essentially the basic premise of a Dark Fic or Comedic Sociopathy. Compare Kafka Komedy. Compare and contrast Point-and-Laugh Show (Real Life Jerkasses, but dispensing with the torture in favor of just laughing at their existence) and Cringe Comedy (where we feel at least some sympathy for the victims, but that sympathy is outweighed by our voyeurism). The natural habitat of the Lethal Klutz. Also compare Black Comedy. |

Ranma ½. The main characters frequently fight and/or scheme against each other (largely in the name of love), and Ranma is constantly smacked around by his fiance for things that aren't his fault. This is all mostly played for laughs, especially in the anime. | |

Monica's Gang used to be this trope, but thanks to years of fans (and Moral Guardians, since the comic is for children AND starred by children) complaining about how the characters suffer ungodly amounts of name-calling and slapstick for no justifiable reason(specially amongst themselves), all their efforts to accomplish a goal be in vain, as well as their abusers constantly getting away scot-free, it resulted in the franchise becoming Lighter and Softer. Thought it still ventures to its sadist roots from time to time, and they are more karmic than just unnecessarily cruel. | |

The anime of School Days is a more full-fledged example; all the main characters are total jackasses, especially the male lead, and most of the appeal of the series comes from the multi-horrific-murder ending, because by that point you want everyone to die. | |

8-Bit Theater has an entire cast of idiots, sadists, and idiotic sadists. The main characters are Fighter, a nimrod who manages to be Too Dumb to Live and too stupid to die at the same time (or maybe not); Black Mage, a psychotic murderer who kills any- and everyone that gets in his way (and a few others just for the hell of it); Red Mage, a Munchkin powergamer blissfully unaware of his own idiocy with no regard for anyone else's well-being; and Thief, a duplicitous, greedy elf supremacist with no conscience. All their opponents are of matching idiocy, and the king of the local kingdom wears the literal interpretation of Black Comedy for shoes. In fact, the most sympathetic main character other than White Mage, the voice of reason, is Black Mage, as he's at least tried to change. Well, before it was revealed that in order to obtain his doomsday attack, he sacrificed orphans to a dark god. Said doomsday attack is also powered by love; i.e. it siphons love out of the universe, and the divorce rate goes up by a few percentages every time he uses it. Even White Mage is becoming more of a Jerkass, with her refusing to heal Black Mage when he has a spear through his head. Also, to add insult to injury, Thief almost never gets his comeuppance, whereas Black Belt (an actually slightly sympathetic character) is the only character yet to have been Killed Off for Real (even the Big Bads turn up in Hell occasionally). | |

Paranoia: The game has one of the most consistently and gleefully sadistic rule sets imaginable, as everything and everyone is stacked against the players, including each other. The backup clones each player receives does less to mitigate the cruel dooms than it does to encourage the GM and players to heap even more on each other. Players participate with the guarantee that they will get to spread their share of sadism around and enjoy the suffering of their friends. The second rule for the GM is "Kill the bastards". An extended part of the rules the players are allowed to see (yes, most of the rules are technically illegal for players to seenote The rules themselves mention that it's treasonous for players to see them and that they should report themselves right away for looking ... then goes on to say something like "Now that we've got the suckers out, yes, viewing these rules is treasonous, which means as a proper Paranoia character you should definitely do it, but don't let your GM know you did." The one exception is the introductory adventure included in the rulebook, which instead says "Don't read this section. We really mean it this time; you'll spoil the fun for yourself if you do.") discusses how to make the other bastards kill one another. |

The humor in The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard comes from two main sources: Sonia (the titular wife) being Crazy Is Cool (with an emphasis on crazy) and Bryce (the titular bodyguard) enduring all kinds of physical and psychological abuse (half of them because of Sonia's antics). He starts the film with a Happy Ending Override from the previous film, receives zero respect from anyone (including his father), gets run over by cars and boats, drugged, stuffed in the trunk of a car, mistaken for dead, and that only covers half of the movie. The film ends with him jumping out of a small boat where he had been stuck for a month in the company of the Kincaids, now his adoptive parents, who spend their time having loud sex. | |

Garfield. Lots of the humor revolves around Garfield, Jon, and Odie (usually the latter two) being injured. In one strip◊, Garfield kicks Odie off the table, then drops a freaking vase on him. Even worse was the time he smooshed a spider with his thumb...then, after remembering that the spider had dropped a contact lens, reached over and smooshed that too. | |

The Grand Theft Auto series runs on this trope. The games are all set in a warped parody of America as filtered through its very cynical British developers, with everything from the political system to pop culture to the criminal underworld to the very fabric of society portrayed as utterly, irredeemably broken. All the better to make you want to fully embrace the Video Game Cruelty Potential that is a series trademark. | |

Ziggy, the eponymous character is always getting the short end of the stick, and the other human characters he comes across are sarcastic and indifferent towards him at best, and cruel to him at worst.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is about the title character going through several situations that involve very dark humor, and occasionally very dark trauma. The only non-indicative word of the title is "fur" since very little has anything to do with his fur so much as his acid-trippy trials and tribulations, which are ultimately topped off with his life being ruined. | |

"Hello, I'm the The Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to!" He's even said once that he can't stop torturing himself. Also, he's cursed the audience for just wanting to see him suffer. Like The Nostalgia Chick, it's not just a case of being hurt with a bad movie anymore. He's a frequently unhappy, lonely man who only reviews because he has nothing else and that's the only thing he can be proud of. |

Doraemon: The Loser Protagonist fails at everything and gets a humiliating Downer Ending in most episodes (and it's usually his own fault), bullying and violence are regularly played for laughs, since three of the five main characters are usually jerks who cruelly bully each other and other people. One of these kids also gets beaten up by his mother, which is supposed to be funny Laser-Guided Karma because the kid is a bully. Averted in the movies where the characters described here suddenly turn into good-natured True Companions who go on adventures together. | |

The Final Destination film series pits normal humans against an immortal, undefeatable, omnipresent force explicitly identified as The Grim Reaper. The humans escaped their original deaths due to unexplained premonitions of their demises. Death wants to balance his books, and he goes about it in a spectacularly sadistic way. As a result, the series mostly revolves around figuring out in what horrific ways the protagonists end up dying. | |

A common complaint about Eureka Seven was how mean-spirited it was towards the protagonist. The first half of the series had Renton being humiliated and abused by the rest of the Gekkostate (especially from Holland and Eureka's children). Most of the time, it was Played for Laughs, but many saw it as tasteless. | |

The original Aggretsuko shorts were like this. Good things almost never happen to Retsuko and most of the other characters are either jerks or just annoying to Retsuko and never face any consequences for their behavior. The Netflix series is much less sadistic, as although good things still rarely happen to her, the series shows her learning and maturing from her experiences. Although the first season ends with her continuing to take abuse from her coworkers and bosses, she is a lot more positive about it than at the beginning of the series. | |

Many of the GoAnimate "Grounded" videos are this. Most of them involve one or more troublesome kids (often ones from preschool shows, particularly Caillou and Dora the Explorer) getting grounded (said word being usually repeated over and over) for absurdly long periods of time for the slightest offenses. Many of these videos are just so over-the-top that they're funny, but when the video maker decides to get cruel with the characters' punishments, hoo boy does it get cruel. The parent characters become utterly sociopathic (if not outright Ax-Crazy) compared to their kids and often come out on top even when they clearly don't deserve it, the kids don't do enough to warrant the long groundings, and the preschool show characters are hated and frequently humiliated/grounded/arrested/killed by everyone else when they don't deserve it at all, or even just for being from preschool shows. | |

Breaking Trail: The episodes in which Coyote demonstrates why and how certain animals can be dangerous or at least unpleasant by subjecting himself to their stings/bites/pinches/other sorts of abuse can dive into this, complete with fairly detailed descriptions of what's happening and how punctuated by screams of horrible pain. Ones that involve the unintentional sort of pain, like a tumble off a large rock or the time he fell into a cactus field, most definitely qualify. | |

The humor of MouseHunt primarily comes from everything going wrong for the Smuntz brothers, to their string magnate father's body being lost at his funeral over a petty argument, Lars' Gold Digger wife kicking him out when he refuses to sell the string company as he promised his dad, and Ernie's culinary career being destroyed when the Mayor dies of a cockroach in his soup, to say nothing of the titular mouse getting in the way of the brothers' plan to renovate their old man's old house to sell it. | |

Wonder Egg Priority is a Reconstruction of this trope in regards to Magical Girl anime: the heroines all have emotional baggage and deep feelings of guilt over the suicides of their friends, the Victims of the Week are all women who have committed suicide, and their trauma is Played for Drama rather than comedy as the show deals with the dark subject matter, including (but not limited to) suicide, self-harm, and sexual abuse. As the series progresses, however, the heroines gradually overcome their traumas and strive to Earn Their Happy Ending. | |

The Onion's Reality TV parody Sex House starts out as, well, a parody of reality TV. However, with its gradual Genre Shift and its increasingly indistinct Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror, it plays this trope out pretty fully in later episodes. | |

Big Bully. So, if you've tattled on your childhood bully, he gets sent away to reform school, and you get to move away and live a happy life where you can be a successful novelist, right? Nope. People are more interested in the new Stephen King book, you're divorced, your son hates you because of that, and that childhood bully is back, and he can get away with messing with your life again, as good things happen to him. | |

The Doomsday Crisis Line: The purpose of the game is to watch just how bad things go and how much damage your choices do. You are encouraged to pick the bad choices, and if you pick the "good choices" too many times, you are forced to pick the bad ones. It doesn't matter anyway, as the good choices are just as horrible. | |

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan, which is about an Ordinary High-School Student and the insane Magical Girl who kills him repeatedly. Removing her halo causes massive bouts of diarrhea. Another angel shows up and tries to kill protagonist-boy with a cattle prod because he's going to invent immortality in the future...but only for women, and it makes them all look twelve, so everyone decides he's a pedophile. Very much a Crosses the Line Twice sort of show. | |

Battle for Dream Island may look like a lighthearted Object Show, but can be quite mean-spirited as each contestant gets eliminated one by one (until the final 3), you get to see them get locked in a metal box FOR MONTHS! This is also justified due to the fact that when a character dies, they don't just die, but are perfectly fine in the next shot, but actually dead, and need to be revived. | |

The Angry Video Game Nerd is all about watching the eponymous Nerd play through craptastic games just to show us everything that's wrong with them. Doing so must cost him his sanity and self-respect. In the Nightmare on Elm Street game review, he's being stalked by Freddy Krueger throughout the episode. When confronted face to face he finds out that Freddy IS him, Freddy states that since he chooses to play the crappy games of his own free will, he is his own nightmare. |

The Nostalgia Chick will dip into this, especially when she reviewed the Interquel to her all-time favorite Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast. She didn't have fun. Increasingly so as the character develops, really taking off with her casual abuse of her best friend. The Chick has coalesced into a geeky shut-in in denial about her nerdy nature, and an insecure Know-Nothing Know-It-All who needs to beat down her friends to boost her own broken self-esteem. The "Dark Nella Saga" tried breaking her down instead, but she was too oblivious for it to work. |

SuperMarioLogan. Everyone's an idiot, an asshole, a Failure Hero or some combination of all three, the characters almost always fail at achieving even the simplest of goals (i.e. just wanting peace and quiet), several videos conclude on a Downer Ending or the characters being in the same place were they started with no resolution, and nobody ever grows or learns from their mistakes — and even in the cases where that happens, Aesop Amnesia and Status Quo Is God will make sure to rear their ugly heads. | |

Junpei also suffers abuse from everyone else around him, is surrounded by people who love cats, is mocked by his own classmates, occasionally gets treated like a pervert and beaten up for it, and not helping the accusations are smarter than average cats who seem to enjoy making his life hell. That's not even mentioning the Guardian Deity of Cats who cursed Junpei into doing 100 good deeds for cats, or he will be turned into one himself and possibly die from the full-body allergic reaction. | |

Empowered is another example. Poor Emp is stuck with a suit that is only good at full power and when she's at her most confident...of which she rarely is and the suit is very fragile to boot. What's more, she can't wear any clothing under it, so she often finds herself humiliated because of it. Add to the fact that her so-called teammates are largely jerkasses to her and you'll start wondering exactly how these people can even be considered superheroes. | |
