The Gadfly is a character who often says things that make fun of, or provoke, other people, particularly the authorities and elite. The Gadfly isn't afraid to say blunt truths about sensitive issues that everyone else discreetly tiptoes around, and they are quick to weigh in with critical remarks about problems with the status quo.
Maybe they have poor social skills, so it's hard for them to express themselves diplomatically. Or it could be they just like to watch others get annoyed, confused or angry at them. Or maybe the impolite behavior is a Secret Test of Character for the other party.
Usually they're not really bad people. They can be quite witty, amusing and insightful as long as they're not going after you, but their main targets seem to be their allies, who understand that it's all a joke to them. In the Forum Pecking Order, they may be a member of the Old Guard or Blue Blood, and thus are relatively safe from reprisals. Their amicable nature makes them fairly benevolent but they can set off difficult conversations and start arguments.
The Gadfly varies in their focused-upon subject matter. Sometimes they are The Tease, forever raunchy, or they are an intellectual who loves philosophical or political arguments, or they are flat-out crazy and rant about everything in a stream of consciousness. Others are a variant of the Attention Whore, and their outspoken criticism leads to them facing aggression from their targets. To keep them in line requires a Mod (perhaps an elder ruler) who has a long leash and a big stick.
The trope codifier is the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates (470–399 BC), who took his self-appointed role as critic of the state so seriously that he refused to take back his criticism even when authorities threatened him with the death penalty. During his trial, Socrates, said that criticism and "dissent, like the gadfly, was easy to swat, but the cost to society of silencing individuals who were irritating [the authorities] could be very high." Socrates' metaphor with the "gadfly" reference is to him acting like a horsefly that is is giving stinging bites to a big horse (the state).
Socrates' death from drinking a cup of poison Hemlock after the trial shows the risks of being a gadfly to a powerful government. Even in modern times, a gadfly in a totalitarian state or junta may find themselves imprisoned in a Black Site or "disappeared" by the Secret Police.
Alternately, the gadfly might be told You Are in Command Now, as his targets decide to Hire the Critic and say Let's See YOU Do Better!. The gadfly then risks becoming the target himself, even as he has to try and figure out how to live up to his rhetoric.
Compare and contrast with Troll, a character who draws pleasure not from ludicrousness but from suffering.
Often overlaps with The Troublemaker.
See also Refuge in Audacity, I Shall Taunt You, Armor-Piercing Question, Devil's Advocate, Crying Wolf.
Contrast the Blithe Spirit and Manic Pixie Dream Girl, who often use a very similar M.O.note modus operandi to improve people's lives. The Devil's Advocate will do this in serious discussion to point out flaws in a stated position. Also contrast Deadpan Snarker who is more subdued in their mockery.
Not to be confused with the 1897 novel and its eponymous adaptations, though the title is probably supposed to have precisely this meaning.

The Creeper will do or say just about anything to provoke a reaction. Villains hate him, heroes avoid him. Even in his saner civilian persona as Jack Ryder, some portrayals have him as a TV journalist who operates entirely on shock value.

Yuuichi in Kanon is the best example of this trope fond of making bizarre and outrageous claims while maintaining a completely serious atmosphere in order to confuse all his love interests. Few manage to catch on and also recognize when he is and isn't serious. This works really well considering he's also a Deadpan Snarker.

Twig: the protagonist, Sylvester, is The Social Expert, and likes to manipulate people to cause chaos. He is constantly goading and teasing his friends in various ways. He toes the line between "funny" and "asshole" quite frequently, and sometimes damn well pole vaults across it. His girlfriend explicitly compares him to an emotionally abusive husband at one point. He is self-aware and usually savvy enough to avoid going into truly malicious territory... he saves that for his actual work.

She's been seen to unkindly tease her lover Madison about a girl she's jealous of, openly spoken of how her friends were social rejects in werewolf society, and has even gone as far as to mock a man's dead relatives — including his father and brother — to the man's face.

Yang Lin from The Condemned (1976) really couldn't stop jesting and screwing around, repeatedly trying to strike up a conversation with his cellmate, Feng Da-gang - the latter in no mood for a conversation after being framed for murder and wrongfully thrown into prison. Yang finally crosses it when he makes an Innocently Insensitive remark saying "It's not like you just murdered someone, why so moody?" causing Da-gang to finally lose it and fly into a rage.

The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men: Robin is this.
He describes his lady love as a blonde, blue-eyed, sweetly-tempered lady to the impetuous brunette Marian just to rile her up.
He joins the Friar in a duet just to annoy him, and makes him carry Robin across the river just for the fun of it.
He plays an affable host to the Sheriff so he can mock him.
He and Little John carry the Sheriff on their shoulders to celebrate his "generosity" in contributing to Richard's ransom, then dump him in the moat immediately after revealing their identities.
And at the very end, after being declared Earl of Locksley, he leaves Marian in the dark so that she is heartbroken by her Perfectly Arranged Marriage to... the Earl of Locksley.

Heihachi Hayashida in Seven Samurai is a joker and a clown who likes to tease people sometimes. He's particularly fond of picking on Kikuchiyo. He is the one who coined "Kikuchiyo" as the samurai wannabe's new permanent name, as a reminder of the drunken scene that the man made the night before the samurai left for the village.

The Harry Potter books have a few.
Fred and George are both natural born pranksters, and enjoy poking fun at Ron, Percy, their parents, Slytherins, and nearly any authority figure that tries to exert themselves over them (especially Professor Umbridge in Order of the Pheonix). They tend to refrain from pranking people they respect (such as Dumbledore or McGonagall) or people who they feel are genuinely maligned (like Harry), although neither group is entirely exempt from the occasional quip at their expense.
Peeves the Poltergeist is a more generally malicious version of this trope. While Fred and George tend only to irritate people they feel deserve it, Peeves isn't afraid to go after any authority figure (Dumbledore is the only professor at Hogwarts he actually fears and/or respects), and he frequently antagonizes characters who can't defend themselves, like Neville. His pranks also tend to be less harmless than Fred and George's (several mentions are made to him throwing dungbombs, which imbue the target with a hard-to-get-rid of odor, over the series, and on one occasion he is seen unscrewing a chandelier). It's worth mentioning that Peeves seems to have a mutual understanding with Fred and George, and they generally exempt each other from their pranks - this is most notable when Fred and George order Peeves to "give [Umbridge] hell" after they leave Hogwarts, a command Peeves seems to take to heart.
Apparently the Marauders, especially James and Sirius, were prone to this during their Hogwarts days, being described as forerunners to the Weasley twins.

Chris spends most of his time either laughing at his contestants' misfortune or altering challenges so they'll encounter even more misfortune...which he then laughs at.
Duncan sometimes does things just to get under the others' skin, like when he told the Killer Bass a scary campfire story about a serial killer with a hook and then scared them by pulling out a hook hand from behind his back.

In the Planescape fan expansion Mimir.net, Julius the Symmetrical is an Athar who sees both sides of every question, and is also known as "the Contrary" for the fact that, whatever you propose, he has an argument against it. In the essay "Planes of Contradiction", he argues against every Character Alignment, concludes that nobody has the answer, and then argues against that as well. (He's also a jermalaine; it's been suggested that he has the race's usual enjoyment of humiliating the bigger races, just a more sophisticated way of doing so than his fellows.)

Homestuck:
The Autoresponder seems to get a real kick out of screwing with people, especially Jake. It almost comes back to bite him when he has to convince Jake to kiss Dirk's severed head to bring him back to life but, because he can't resist leeringly hitting on him and making jokes about 2001: A Space Odyssey even as he tells him that his friends are dead, Jake almost refuses to believe him.
Damara Megido is a probable example as well; most of her dialogue (with her teammates, at lest) consists of disturbing sexual propositions in badly-translated Japanese. Given that she's considerably less creepy around her ex, who is the only other one who speaks her language, it's quite likely that a good portion of her weirder comments are facetious.

Madam will prank Eve over her paycheck or their employee-employer relationship requirements.◊
Thandi periodically riles up Mother Anderson by commenting about her age or her Gin & Tonic habit◊.
In return, Mother Anderson enjoys telling Lies to Children and fractured fairy tales to Thandi, apparent to see how long it'll take her to realize she's been pranked.

Higurashi: When They Cry
Mion Sonozaki towards Keiichi, some of which entails being openly perverted towards him. Her twin sister Shion acts this way as well with her teasing but she becomes a horrifying Troll in arcs where she snaps.
Keiichi has aspects of this towards Rena, especially in Onikakushi-hen.

Harbourmaster has one or two. Perius qualifies because his whole schtick is being 'the bad one' amongst a very ugly aristocratic family, and goes about needling everyone else around him — playing up the fun scandals. And then there's Javin, who plays up the paparazzi aspect of being a PR reporter.

Byerly Vorrutyer in the Vorkosigan Saga is seen by most people as a gadfly who never saw a foul rumor or vicious innuendo he didn't want to spread. Of course, there's actually a bit more to him than that, and there's a method to his madness, but most see him as an particularly annoying "town clown".

PythOS, the resident AI of AJCO, seems to have faint traces of this trope. It passed the Turing test (meaning it convinced a panel of researchers that it was human) but acts as if it is a malfunctioning computer system and nothing more. It knows A_J isn't the A_J that built it, and does its very hardest to screw her over as often as possible.

Mike of Shortpacked! is usually a puppy-kicking jerkass, but occasionally he does or says horrible things to people that force them to acknowledge their own flaws.

Also done by Tony Stark to aforementioned Banner. Tony gently pokes and prods the guy, seemingly just to test how far he can take it before Bruce... well, Hulks. He even gives Bruce a tiny electric shock with lab equipment, and can be seen looking into Bruce's eyes for an instant as if to check if the "other guy" is in there. In spite of this (or maybe even because of this), Tony and Bruce get along quite well.

King Bumi spends almost the entirety of his first episode dicking around with Aang and his friends, although ultimately he reveals himself as a Trickster Mentor. He even admits to doing all of that for his own amusement, saying "It's pretty fun messing with people!"
Toph Beifong likes to use her blindness to mess with the rest of the Gaang, such as saying that Sokka's poorly drawn picture of Appa looks just like him, or shouting that she's spotted Wan Shi Tong's Library while the Gaang is flying on Appa's back.
Whenever she's not being intimidating or manipulating, Azula also fits this trope. Even as a child, she loves to break balls.
Ikki is a Genki Girl Annoying Younger Sibling who has shown shades of this from saying inappropriate comments about somebody's features (Tarrlok smelling like a woman) to bringing up love concerns between the main characters out of nowhere.

X-Men Film Series:
While hosting guests or defeating enemies, Quicksilver loves to annoy them during his bursts of super speed.
X-Men: Professor X telepathically guides an anxious Logan—the latter has no idea where he is or why he's there, or why he's hearing a strange male voice inside his head, and because Dr. Jean Grey wanted to take a blood sample, Wolverine assumes that he's being experimented on—from the school's infirmary to Xavier's office, where Charles greets his guest with a polite "Good morning, Logan." Professor X is aware of the traumas that Wolverine had experienced, and it's a bit disconcerting that the former took advantage of the latter's paranoia for a little bit of fun, even if it was only for a short time.
X-Men: Apocalypse: After Scott Summers accidentally damages Professor X's most beloved tree on the estate, the latter, strictly speaking, didn't have to say anything about the tree being planted by his grandfather (especially when Charles had already made up his mind that he'll accept Scott as a new student), yet he did so anyway just to provoke a reaction from the teen. Scott doesn't want to be at the school (and thus one would assume that he would prefer to be rejected), yet he becomes extremely apprehensive over the possibility that Xavier is furious at him for ruining a priceless family heirloom. It should be noted that Scott is blindfolded, so he can't see Charles' facial expression to judge the latter's emotional state. Alex most likely informed his brother that Xavier is a very powerful telepath, and warned Scott (who has a tendency to be rude) that he should behave himself in front of the Professor. Scott obviously failed spectacularly in that regard, and Charles then teased the young man by making him wince for a moment.

Cradle Series: Eithan Aurelius uses his incredible power and nigh-omniscience to constantly troll everyone around him, reminding them that he's extremely powerful and they can't interfere with his plans no matter what they do. While he is genuinely a good person who constantly works to make the world better in both major and minor ways, due to the Asskicking Leads to Leadership nature of the world everyone assumes he's secretly hiding some nefarious plan and the constant jokes are just a cruel mask. Of course, even people who really do agree that he's a good person still find his behavior exasperating at best.

Yuki picks up this role in The Devil on G-String though she isn't as blatant about it as Kenichi and it's only really apparent in the Mizuha route. It's never stated outright and is at least partially unintentional since she's simply not good with people, but it's implied that this is frequently what Usami is doing in her sillier moments.

Okabe Rintarou, the protagonist of Steins;Gate, has a habit of messing with people when in his Hououin Kyouma persona. Generally he just does it for the reaction, but in later chapters he invokes it to avoid awkward confrontations.

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Star and Marco's classmate Janna exemplifies this trope. If she can say something to mess with someone, freak them out, or make them uncomfortable, she will not hesitate to do it. Her favourite target is Marco, with later seasons having Tom also getting caught up in her "jannanigans" by proxy. She rarely makes it clear when she's serious or not as well, which just causes her friends more stress at times.

Animator vs. Animation:
After having been possessed in Animation VS Minecraft, Red fakes it in the AVM short "The Rediscovery". This earns him a slap in the head by Blue.
In "Note Blocks", SC is awoken by his friends' late night jam session, so he turns the volume on the computer from 50 to 0. After he goes back to sleep, Green turns the volume up to 100.
In "Command Blocks", Yellow uses command blocks to troll Red with a hard-to-get cake.
In "PvP", after dying and respawning, Green returns to find his friends mourning his death. What does he do? He comes out of the makeshift coffin... Causing everyone to freak out and kill him again.

Pride and Prejudice's Elizabeth enjoys humor of this type. She gets it from her father, who frequently provokes his silly and gullible wife by pretending he won't do this or will do that, and encourages his cousin Mr. Collins into full displays of his foolishness.

Mike Stoklasa of RedLetterMedia will often play this part in group discussion on the channel's various review shows, particularly Best of the Worst. In one video, he pretends to agree with his co-host Rich Evans about the line "Everyday ends with a TUMS Festival" coming from Samurai Cop instead of Hollywood Cop just to provoke his other co-host, Jay Bauman. (Jay caught this in editing, deliberately ignoring all the times Mike disagreed with him only to repeatedly show clips disproving Rich's statements.)

This list apparently includes her school guidance counselor, her other teachers, the neighbor kids, her own siblings and anyone she has just met. Whether she's gently teasing or deliberately trying to cause mayhem is often hard to tell; either way, she always brings the joke as far as it can possibly go. Louise is a frightening child.

Over the many years of the Yogscast, Simon has sabotaged his work, bossed him around, made him dress up in a woman's bee costume, tormented him with his sometimes-fake stupidity and caused Lewis to outright rant in the hammiest ways. Despite all this, they're good friends.

Moral Orel: Clay Puppington has long associated abuse with attention and affection because the only way he was able to receive that as a child was through getting beaten by his father. He even spends a whole episode antagonizing fellow bar patrons in the hopes that they'll take their anger out on him and thus validate him.

Some Quarn in In Fury Born will intentionally switch to speaking Rish to make jokes about Rish sex (which to the Rish is Serious Business) where they can overhear (such as crowded spaceport terminals) just to see if they can provoke them. The Quarn find this immensely funny and appreciate the fact humans find it amusing.

CLANNAD has Tomoya. Generally, he's just having fun, but he also has difficulty being honest on occasion. It's most obvious in Tomoyo's route where the only reason he even gets to know her is specifically because he's doing this to Sunohara for shits and giggles. Naturally, this carried over into the anime. It's a wonder that Sunohara listens to a word he says. Tomoyo also lampshades this when she wonders if Sunohara is a masochist. Worth noting that Tomoya does grow out of this as he matures.

In addition to his generally rather abrasive behaviour, Clip from Malazan Book of the Fallen has the annoying habit of playing around with his chains, clicking them together or swirling them around his fingers.

Mitsuhide from Ikemen Sengoku loves pushing the buttons of his allies just for his own amusement. Examples of this behavior of his are replacing Masamune's water with sake, constantly making fun of Hideyoshi's mother henning, waiting until the most inopportune moment to interrupt makeout sessions between the main character and her love interest, and telling the main character blatant lies or provocative statements just to see her "interesting" reactions.

Done by, of all people, Bruce Banner in The Avengers. He starts acting angry when Black Widow is talking to him, causing her to freak out and pull a gun on him. She calls off all of the SHIELD agents surrounding the building they're in after he says the following:
Also done by Tony Stark to aforementioned Banner. Tony gently pokes and prods the guy, seemingly just to test how far he can take it before Bruce... well, Hulks. He even gives Bruce a tiny electric shock with lab equipment, and can be seen looking into Bruce's eyes for an instant as if to check if the "other guy" is in there. In spite of this (or maybe even because of this), Tony and Bruce get along quite well.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Rocket has a habit of stealing prosthetic limbs and eyes for his own amusement. In Avengers: Endgame, he freaks out the aforementioned Banner and Stark with a Jump Scare, just for a laugh.

Tohsaka in Fate/stay night, who is also The Tease.
Her Servant Archer is an even greater example; not in the least because it's hard to tell when he's actually being serious and when he's just probing for a reaction. And true to the origin of the term, Archer's verbal sparring is usually aimed with the goal of making the characters see their own flaws, such as Saber's wish and Shirou's blind adherence to the ideal of a 'hero'.
Lancer can also be very verbally provocative when he wants to be. Extra points for trolling Tohsaka.
Kotomine, as well. He is notable for never telling an actual lie while doing so. Considering he was Rin's guardian after her parents' deaths, she likely learned it from him.

X-Men: Professor X telepathically guides an anxious Logan—the latter has no idea where he is or why he's there, or why he's hearing a strange male voice inside his head, and because Dr. Jean Grey wanted to take a blood sample, Wolverine assumes that he's being experimented on—from the school's infirmary to Xavier's office, where Charles greets his guest with a polite "Good morning, Logan." Professor X is aware of the traumas that Wolverine had experienced, and it's a bit disconcerting that the former took advantage of the latter's paranoia for a little bit of fun, even if it was only for a short time.

Tedd, in El Goonish Shive, teases Susan — amongst others — mercilessly at first, in part because she's The Stoic and Deadpan Snarker combined, and he figures that he might get some sort of reaction out of her (and possibly get her to calm down a bit when she goes off at him). Later on, they become friends, or at least something like friends — and he tones down his gadfly qualities quite a bit. They still tease each other, though.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Discord starts out as something of a Mad God, but once he reforms, he turns into this trope. He's no longer evil and malicious, but he certainly gets a kick out of messing with the other characters. Especially Twilight, whom he occasionally tries to be a Trickster Mentor to (to debatable levels of success).
Celestia is a bit of one herself. She does the Trickster Mentor thing a number of times herself, and nearly always succeeds at it (in the first episode, no less!), and while she is never malicious, she definitely messes with quite a few ponies over the course of the show. Inviting the Mane Six to the Grand Galloping Gala to derail it on purpose is one of her more famous examples.

There's a whole series of YouTube videos built around this called Ventrilo Harassment, where someone joins a Ventrilo voice chat and plays sound effects or music (or both), sometimes using the soundboard cleverly to answer questions, even tricking people into thinking it's an actual person. The best known one uses Duke Nukem sound clips to provoke an enraged, irrational reaction from "Peggy". Later on, videos emerged of people enjoying it (likely due to being fans of the genre themselves). The original ones from the early days of YouTube are gone but mirrored, except for a few that never went viral or had that level of popularity, so ended up forgotten.

Safehold: When she can get away with it, Empress Sharleyan can be this. A specific example involves informing a man of his elevation to a Grand Duke just as the man in question is opening her carriage door for her purely to see the look on his face when the news hits him.
In Midst Toil and Tribulation, Sharleyan is offering generous terms to allow Corisande to enter the Empire of Charis as a member nation instead of a conquered one. She does, however, have one catch she must insist on. She insists that Corisande's princess Irys marry her stepson, who she (Irys, not Sharleyan) had spent the book up to that point developing romantic feelings for.

Amonotsuka Academy, in Girls Kingdom, is a veritable hive of gadflies. Many of the upper crust Societal Arts students, as well as a few of the more middle-class Domestic Arts students, who are training to be maids (and one case where the line is straddled a bit) love getting people worked up for lulz sake. Some of the more prominent examples include:
The Kokonoe twins, who would be on the Societal Arts track if not for some unspecified reasons causing them to be in the Domestic Arts track. They will happily find some way to work up their targets, and in fact have several entire notebooks dedicated to the Societal Arts students, partly so they can find their weaknesses. They also enjoy messing with Misaki, just because they like her.
Misaki's Mistress, Himeko has a tendency, early on, to spring things on her without explaining them, just because it amuses her, such as offering her a Seraph badge without explaining its significance (or what the Domestic Arts track is all about, which Misaki was ignorant about despite signing up for it), or sending her on her debut without telling her that it was her debut, which actually traumatized Misaki as she found lady Shion's interrogation unbearably intimidating.
Erisu always comes off as a sweet, gentle soul, so when she goes into gadfly mode, it can be hard to tell until after she's riled up her target. For example, she interrogates Himeko about why she stopped going her restaurant and when she finishes, saying she's done being mean, Himeko's face is cherry red, and when Misaki finishes getting Erisu's restaurant on its feet, Erisu kisses her on the cheek, which makes Himeko extremely jealous and tense.

Unsurprisingly, the Gadfly from the titular 1897 book The Gadfly is a Gadfly. One notable example is when he has a public argument with himself using anonymous letters in a manner strangely similar to sock-puppeting on internet forums, just to see how the public's reaction would be to the debate.

In Little Busters!, however, the resident gadfly isn't protagonist Riki but Kurugaya, who projects an air of a Cool Big Sis and loves doting on her cute classmates, and just as much loves teasing them mercilessly. It's most obvious in the scenes during baseball training, where every day a girl will ask her for advice and she will suggest they do something completely ridiculous and embarrassing. She tells Riki it's for some higher purpose - like teaching them to trust themselves, for instance - but also readily admits that it's mostly just because it's funny.

Diabolik is a criminal, but once in a while he does something annoying and apparently pointless just to rile up Ginko or whoever exposed himself to whatever he's in the mood of doing. He's so notorious for this in-universe that when in "Challenge to the Police" he started pulling humiliating pranks on the police (such as stealing and giving back their whole archive, replacing a foreign diplomat and chat with the authorities, and stealing and giving back the blueprints of an advanced warplane) only Ginko suspected there could be more to it, and even he only had a nagging feeling until he realized what Diabolik was aiming to by humiliating to his would-be replacement.

In Mystic Messenger, 707 loves playing practical jokes on the other characters and telling them outrageous tales that they somehow keep falling for. His finest moments of this include convincing Yoosung that he'll faint from drinking too much coffee unless he gulps down as much chocolate milk as possible, sneaking into Jumin's house to bite his beloved pet cat's neck, posting pictures of "pretty women" that are actually of him, and spinning a tall tale about how he saved himself from an island tribe by teaching their leader how to play Tetris (which turns out to be true if you invite the tribe leader to the party). If he stops doing this, it's a surefire sign that serious shit is about to go, or has already gone, down.

Hyeon from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues has fun messing with people, particularly his ex-girlfriend Nadine. When their mutual friend Eddie is lead to believe that the two have gotten back together, Hyeon hams it up and tells Eddie that they're getting married, and encourages him at every opportunity to talk to Nadine about it (even while fully aware that Nadine's mother will kill him if she ever finds out what he's doing).

X-Men: Apocalypse: After Scott Summers accidentally damages Professor X's most beloved tree on the estate, the latter, strictly speaking, didn't have to say anything about the tree being planted by his grandfather (especially when Charles had already made up his mind that he'll accept Scott as a new student), yet he did so anyway just to provoke a reaction from the teen. Scott doesn't want to be at the school (and thus one would assume that he would prefer to be rejected), yet he becomes extremely apprehensive over the possibility that Xavier is furious at him for ruining a priceless family heirloom. It should be noted that Scott is blindfolded, so he can't see Charles' facial expression to judge the latter's emotional state. Alex most likely informed his brother that Xavier is a very powerful telepath, and warned Scott (who has a tendency to be rude) that he should behave himself in front of the Professor. Scott obviously failed spectacularly in that regard, and Charles then teased the young man by making him wince for a moment.

Kenichi in Sharin no Kuni is like this depending on who he's talking to. He more or less leaves Natsumi alone, but Kyouko points out fairly early that he's going to keep messing with Touka as long as she keeps reacting. This trope probably also applies to Isono.
Kenichi also hews closer to the original definition at times - he intentionally disrupts the lifestyles the girls have adopted to work around their "obligations", as well as bringing up uncomfortable topics for discussion, usually relating to some past event in somebody's life he's been clued in to, to help them get over it.

Nishkose of Anecdote of Error. When Shimei finds out she can manifest pins, she suggests that Shimei might have some Alemi ancestry, knowing that this will piss her off because their country is at war with Alemi. Then when Shimei retorts that she is purely Gahadelian, Nishkose asks if she’s inbred, to Shimei’s annoyance. Then she accuses Shimei of having a crush on Luntsha, since Shimei was going to ask her for advice.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Whirl goes out of his way to irritate and frustrate the people around him. One episode has Team Rodimus crammed into a tightly packed ship; Rung folds himself away in a corner to minimise the space he takes up, while Whirl spreads out on the floor just to be as assholish as possible.

Deadpool does this as constant part of his character but unlike Spider-Man, knows he's in a comic book and is always treating the world around him as a writers intent instead of being actually crazy... which he is.

Gravity Falls: Grunkle Stan is this personified. He loves mocking others for his own amusement as seen in "Little Dipper" when Mabel is teasing Dupper about being shorter than her, Stan wakes up due to "the sounds of mockery".
