So they've been constantly injured, the butt of every joke and misfortune, much to the audience's amusement, and it seems the universe itself just likes screwing with him. So what's happening now? Huh... he's happy? Yes, it seems that fate/God/the writers finally decided to Throw the Dog a Bone. It can be them ultimately coming out ahead, or just having a break for once, but it's generally very satisfying to whomever it happens to and any fans that had felt sorry for him. One way this can happen is if the "Dog" character gets into a relationship. This can be very irritating to fans of the other character if it comes across as a reward and objectifies - in particularly bad versions of this; they might come across as - by this trope's very metaphor — a "bone." (Even "better", listen to fans complain if this doesn't happen.) If the bone is thrown only to be cruelly snatched away later, then this becomes Yank the Dog's Chain, a set-up for the writers to further toy with the hapless character. Compare Karmic Jackpot, Earn Your Happy Ending (the ending-specific variant of this trope) and contrast with Team Rocket Wins. If the character in-question happens to get this permanently and completely by chance, instead of temporarily, then it's Serendipity Shock. |

In Ansem Retort, Riku spends the whole strip being The Chew Toy to a degree that makes you feel the Emo Teen qualities are justified. Then Yuffie comes along. There are exactly two official couples (Zexion/anything female does not count) and he's now one of them. Enjoy your bone, doggie. She eventually dumps him. For his own Future Badass self. | |

"Phoenix Rising" is so far the only story arc in Sluggy Freelance that ends with Oasis in a healthy emotional state. While she does leave behind the friends she made in Podunkton to Walk The Earth, she's at least on good terms with them and seems to have gotten some peace of mind. Beats the hell out of her previous appearances, which all ended with her either Left for Dead or locked up in an insane asylum. However it's recently been revealed that after she left all her friends bar the old martial artist have been kidnapped and locked up by hereti corp, the source of all her problems. |

In Equestria: A History Revealed, after reaching an emotional catharsis of sorts to get over her jealousy and grudge over Celestia, the Lemony Narrator finds her happiness, that being a couch, a good stock of Doritos, and her coltfriend, Crazy Larry at her side. This is after countless failures in her life, like messing up on a relatively easy love potion, somehow catching syphilis, her countless academic failures, and general inability to find self-worth. Even though she hadn't exactly been The Woobie throughout the fic and many of her challenges seemed to be self-deserved, she found her own happy ending. | |

Burning Secret: While Lincoln mainly gets his guilt exacerbated by having people remind him of the fire, at one point, he does get forgiven by Cristina, who even agrees to be his friend. Lincoln has problems with loss of appetite (leading to a fear of throwing up) and insomnia, but one night, he at least gets some sleep and then he brings himself to eat breakfast (he does feel queasy afterwards but doesn’t throw up like he feared). He finally gets a full night’s sleep without nightmares when he tells Lucy the truth. |

Shenandoah: Charlie's mission to rescue his youngest son from captivity fails and indirectly gets three other family members killed, while the boy ends up escaping and getting home on his own. However, the whole affair isn't quite a Shoot the Shaggy Dog tale, as his quest does end up rescuing his son-in-law Sam from being taken to a Hellhole Prison where he might have died like so many other prisoners in the war. | |

Speaking of Los Conquistadores, they were one of the last two teams remaining at the WWF's 1988 Survivor Series, lasting 42 minutes before falling to the newly-turned-heel The Powers of Pain. While they were mercilessly beaten on by the face team every time they were in the ring, they somehow survived until the very end. | |

Throughout most of Loved and Lost, Twilight's disgraced loved ones are met with contempt and hatred from Jewelius, the citizens of Canterlot, and even Twilight herself. However, after escaping from Canterlot, they eventually receive refuge from Mayor Mare and the rest of Ponyville. It's revealed shortly after that this was done in response to a collective dog-kicking by Jewelius, who spitefully wanted to punish the town for being the home of the "traitorous" Mane Five. | |

In the Space Quest Incinerations fan game, General Bruce Havok (one of the most badass guys in the galaxy and Gordon Freeman expy) says to Roger Wilco (janitor savior of the galaxy yet perpetual Chew Toy Extraordinaire) that he knows of Roger's heroism and is a big fan (much to Bea's annoyance). While he did treat Roger like crap earlier, it's largely because it's been many years since Roger's exploits have occurred and thus Bruce didn't realize he was dealing with that Roger Wilco (since it's a relatively common name), and Roger is something of a Jerkass when he's not saving the galaxy. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-053 and SCP-682 are this to each other. 053 is a little girl who drives everyone over the age of 10 to try to kill her by her mere presence, and 682 is an Omnicidal Maniac who the Foundation has tried to kill uncountable times and seems to hold our entire world in utter disgust. 053 draws flowers on 682, who cuddles with her. The Foundation, for all its ruthlessness, has an entire division dedicated to enforce this trope, the Ethics Committee. Their job is pretty much to make sure sentient SCPs are treated more or less humanely (or at least not worse than what's necessary) and make sure the Foundation never goes too far. Some tales places them as equal to or even above the O5 council. |

A Season One episode of The Muppet Show has Fozzie Bear, the usual Butt-Monkey, mock the snarky critics Statler and Waldorf with the help of the guest star; the masterful Bruce Forsyth, no less, is Fozzie's accomplice in this. The bear manages to out-snark Statler and Waldorf so badly that they end up hiding in their box waving a white flag. Fozzie also gets revenge in other episodes; in the Steve Martin episode, the night's show is canceled as it was already scheduled for open auditions. One pair of auditionees are Statler and Waldorf; Fozzie goes up to their balcony to mock them. Another episode has him do the same thing during Statler and Waldorf's take on an actual opening number. "Bring on the bear!" Also, any Swedish Chef sketch that doesn't end with him being attacked by his cuisine or otherwise harmed — examples include "Chicken in the Basket", "Chocolate Moose" (note the spelling), and his use of guns to make doughnuts and a salad respectively! In the Muppet Labs sketches, any time Beaker comes out better than Dr. Bunsen Honeydew — or at least the doctor doesn't get off scot free. This especially counts for the Mac Davis episode where Beaker accidentally makes several clones of himself, which spend most of the remainder of the episode chasing Honeydew around. |

In Homestuck, Tavros is almost certainly the greatest woobie in a whole species of woobies: he was crippled by Killer Game Master Vriska For the Evulz, rendering him in a wheelchair on a planet that includes mandatory tests of physical ability as a requirement to merely survive to reach childhood, and is mocked cruelly by Vriska afterwards by shooting down his attempts at self-confidence and creating for him a house full of stairs. And then Kanaya intervenes, persuading her to do something nice, and she alchemizes a rocket chair for him to realize his dream of flying. D'awww. Much later right before the end of the comic. Dead!Tavros has recruited a literal army of ghosts for the Final Battle against Lord English. Vriska is astonished that Tavros has done something not only right but actually pretty awesome, which prompts Tavros to go into a "Suck It, Serket" dance for several strips. It only ends when Vriska agrees to acknowledge Tavros' achievement on the condition that he stop dancing. |

Earlier, there was the reveal that That Dude in the Suede was the next guardian, which not only lead to a very sweet reunion for many of the reviewers, but meant that the very tired crew was spared one fight and were lead directly to the Gauntlet. Though he won't realize it until the next movie, Ma-Ti saves the world and is mourned by Critic and the others. |

Wonder Woman finally getting to appear in a live-action film after years of the movie project going nowhere - especially considering that Warner Bros. executives were on the fence about letting her have a movie, leading to the now-infamous Tweet from Brett White about how DC didn't want to do Wonder Woman because it was too confusing, while Marvel was working on Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), which has a raccoon using machine guns. Taken even further once it was confirmed that she would be getting a standalone film before Marvel could release a female-led movie. And Wonder Woman (2017) became the most acclaimed of the DCEU flicks and a massive box office hit. | |

The Order of the Stick: The Flumphs are recurring minor characters who get mistreated in about every one of their appearances, most often by serving as Living Crashpad for the main characters. Except for one time in Book 6, where they are left untouched while crossing the Dwarven lands, since technically they aren't trespassing because they're levitating and never touching the ground. | |

Howard Finkel, WWE's ring announcer during the 90s and early 2000s, was a Butt-Monkey almost any time he had any role in any storyline. However, during a feud between the mutually mulleted X-Pac and Jeff Jarrett, Jarrett bullied Finkle (who was bald) as part of the buildup. After X-Pac won the hair versus hair match, Finkle got to help him shave Jarrett's head. | |

In spin-off Dragon ShortZ Yamcha gets his when, as part of being forced to retire from baseball due to his Invincible Hero stats making the game boring and predictable, he's given a 20 billion zeni payout, enough to comfortably retire, even without sponsorship deals. He then proceeds to buy the biggest drink company in the world and founds a restaurant chain, making him one of the wealthiest men in the world, all after being constantly outclassed by his Z-Warrior peers, dying, and losing his girlfriend to the guy that killed him. And after learning the Yamcha in Future Trunk's timeline killed himself, Goku takes a moment to remind Yamcha that he is his friend. Which since our Yamcha didn't wind up killing himself, may have actually saved his life. After taking plenty of crap from him, Yamcha does make one successful comeback to one of Vegeta's insults, that leaves the Saiyan prince stunned: |

MAD's Monroe is occasionally thrown a bone, though they often Yank the Dog's Chain in the very same comic. Two examples: Getting to make out with his Irish cousin. When his parents find out, they force him to sleep in his roofless tree house in the pouring rain. Having the school bully steal his date at the cinema, but then getting him to eat a rotten hot dog he found on the floor of The Rocky Horror Picture Show screening next door. |

The Nostalgia Critic: Santa Christ wiping The Star Wars Holiday Special from the Critic's mind. Seeing as how the Critic was pretty much made to be abused... we guess even Doug and Rob have limits. The ending of his "Commercials Special" is more obvious. After being nearly completely broken, he gets his confidence back through a song. "Sequel Month" saw the Critic being put through the wringer by some incredibly bad movies. The next video after that was Dungeons & Dragons (2000), in which he was upbeat, enthusiastic and thought the film was fantastic So Bad, It's Good fun. |

Throughout Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Krillin's Butt-Monkey status has been punctuated with the "Krillin Owned Count", going up one every time something particularly bad happens to Krillin. However, at the end of the series, Android 18 shows up at Krillin's doorstep to fulfill the promise she made to herself to rock his four-foot world if they both survived. Upon doing so, the Krillin Owned Count drops from its current count of 39 to 38. After the credits, it's nighttime, they're still going, the Krillin Owned Count has dropped to one, and, in one final climactic moment, is completely destroyed. Also, Krillin has a Gag Penis. In spin-off Dragon ShortZ Yamcha gets his when, as part of being forced to retire from baseball due to his Invincible Hero stats making the game boring and predictable, he's given a 20 billion zeni payout, enough to comfortably retire, even without sponsorship deals.

Ultra Fast Pony: Despite being a Sadist Show, full to the brim with Black Comedy, the show resident Butt Monkeys occasionally get a bone: Subverted in Purple Party Pooper, which opens with Twilight happily singing to herself, because it's her birthday and despite their differences, the rest of the Mane Six are coming to celebrate... before Spike tells her they're not coming. Cue Cluster F-Bomb. Cheerilee is constantly pushed around, insulted, and even manipulated by her own students. But after one of the girls schemes leads to her waking up married to Big Mac, on a bed in the hole in the middle of the road, they go on to be Happily Married. Luna is finally accepted by Ponyville, at the end of "Utter Lunacy". Though zigzagged, as she doesn't know how exactly that happened and the episode ends on her being utterly confused and storming off in frustration. Spike, who is treated like a slave by his clingy "adopted mother"/owner Twilight, on top of being a general Butt-Monkey. But unlike Twilight, The Mane Six actually showed up for his birthday. Also, he occasionally gets away with making a snide remark at Twilight. Despite Twilight and Spike having a very unhealthy relationship, they both occasionally show they care about each other deep down. Rainbow Dash probably ties with Spike and Luna for biggest Butt-Monkey of the cast, without even counting her Hilariously Abusive Childhood. Never the less, she actually gets a few of these: After (accidentally) saving a child in a well, she is briefly treated as a hero. She also goes out for ice cream with Scootaloo at the end of the episode, who herself is the No-Respect Guy in the CMC. Twilight actually shows up to spend time with her in the hospital. Her human counterpart in The Equestria Girls universe, is the most popular girl in school. Soarin accepting her as his adopted daughter, after going her whole life without a parental figure who genuinely loved or even liked her. Pinkie Pie 2 actually standing up for her, after Cheese Sandwhich mistakes her for a demon and tries to kill her. For a brief moment while in the dream world, Luna and Scootaloo actually enjoy each other's company. |

My Little Pony Meets: Lyra and Bonbon are victims of constant physical abuse, without doing anything to deserve it, what so ever. But in Toucan LDM meets My Little Pony, they manage to lore the very creator of the show to Ponyville, and get to have a little well deserved payback. To a much lesser extent in Elsa meets, where it briefly looks like they are going to be hit by something.. only for nothing to happen. Subverted in The Joker meets, where they see The Batmobile about to crash into them, like it did in the original Bat Man meets, only for Lyra to grab Bonbon saying "not this time" and teleporting them away at the last second... off of a cliff. After being beat up in early episodes, Spike actually gets to be a hero in both Rapunzel meets where he aids Rarity in saving the titular character and Godzilla meets, where in his "monster form" he fights Godzilla to a draw and is celebrated by Ponyville, after convincing the Kaiju to go peacefully. |

In the Jackie Chan Adventures fanfic Queen of All Oni (part of Project Dark Jade), Jade ends up hiring the Enforcers, and pays them regular wages (at one point, they mock the heroes by saying it's more than Section 13 pays them), and even when she fires them she gives them severance pay and all their belongings. When they realize that Jackie isn't there yet, they decide to flee the country and get away from magic and the chaos involving it that they keep getting mixed up with once and for all. And then they get arrested almost immediately afterwards. | |

For much of Dæmorphing, Tom is only slightly better-off than in canon. He's freed, sure, but he has bipolar disorder brought on by years of brain damage, regularly gets into fights with the other human refugees, and accidentally-on-purpose becomes a nothlit. At the end of The Cost of the Fight, though, he gets a girlfriend. Even Jake is surprised to see him be happy for once. | |

My Little Pony: The Mentally Advanced Series: In the "negative episodes", while Fluttershy's Woobie and Extreme Doormat status from canon are still played up for dark comedy and she still gets no respect from most ponies (not to mention she doesn't even get to show up till episode eight), she does get some "minor victories" here and there: in the episode covering the events of "Stare Master" she manages to assert herself better than at any previous point in the series and ends up having a relatively pleasant night with the CMC and a eldritch being and in the episode covering "Sonic Rainboom" shows that despite their flaws, she and Rainbow Dash do sincerely see each other as friends. Flutters even seemed to finally start growing a spine before the series got cancelled, and she gets to tell off Twilight while drunk after the gala. (Not that Twilight cares, but still.) The Episode of the original covering "Owls Well That Ends Well", is basically a Breather Episode about Twilight and Spike hanging around the library with each other, that shows that they do genuinely care about each other, even if they don't show it often. |

The DC Extended Universe has been helpful to actors and characters. While Henry Cavill did have some lead roles in shows and movies, he was also infamous for getting snubbed on getting major roles from various studios in favor of other actors, most notably by Robert Pattinson for the role of Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movie series and Superman for the movie that became Superman Returns. That all changed when Zack Snyder gave him a second chance at playing the latter in the Continuity Reboot film Man of Steel. Wonder Woman finally getting to appear in a live-action film after years of the movie project going nowhere - especially considering that Warner Bros. executives were on the fence about letting her have a movie, leading to the now-infamous Tweet from Brett White about how DC didn't want to do Wonder Woman because it was too confusing, while Marvel was working on Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), which has a raccoon using machine guns. Taken even further once it was confirmed that she would be getting a standalone film before Marvel could release a female-led movie. And Wonder Woman (2017) became the most acclaimed of the DCEU flicks and a massive box office hit. This is also the case for her actress Gal Gadot, who had a decently successful modeling career but was having trouble finding roles in Hollywood, with her only role of note up to that point being Gisele Yashar in the The Fast and Furious franchise. She was even thinking of quitting acting altogether before getting cast as Wonder Woman. The story goes that Ben Affleck was vying to be Batman during the period between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins, but because of the Development Hell he took on Daredevil as the closest thing. His career tanking from Gigli didn't help, either. Even after rebuilding his career by being both actor and director, he admitted to being surprised when he was approached to be Batman because he was getting older and couldn't play a 20-something or 30-something Batman, and was delighted to learn they were going in the Dark Knight Returns direction for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Unfortunately, after the notoriously Troubled Production going on for the theatrical cut of Justice League, it went south because Affleck ended up going back to rehab, and had to give up the cape and cowl as well the director's chair for The Batman. |

MrBallen's most popular Running Gag is to alter the typical YouTuber phrase of "hitting" or "smashing" the Like button into comical scenarios abusing the button as if it were a real person. This can run the gamut from harmless pranks all the way to murder. On one occasion, however, rather than suggesting something mean, he says to "gently give the Like button a hug" because of all the crap he's been putting it through, and that it "needs a break." | |

Parsee Mizuhashi from the Touhou Project is a literal Green-Eyed Monster taken to its logical conclusion: She is Driven by Envy, jealousy sustains her and her power to make other people envious is born from her own jealousy of them. Everything in her existence revolves around this misery, around how she's physically incapable of being content with what she has and always envies others for what what they have that she does not... In the fandom she's most commonly shipped with the drop-dead gorgeous and incredibly strong Yuugi Hoshiguma... Of course, Parsee still cannot be happy with what she has and will always find some way to sour her own fortune, but at least Yuugi is always there to support her. | |

In Peanuts, Charlie Brown had some success in the '90s after decades of constant failure; he managed to hit a home run and win the game for his team not once but twice; he defeated a bully named Joe Agate in marbles; and he might even have kicked the ball for once. In You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown winds up winning a motocross race despite every force in the universe seemingly indicating that he wouldn't. Goes into "Shaggy Dog" Story territory when the intended prize—Pro Bowl tickets—is replaced by five free haircuts. His hair is not very plentiful and his father is a barber. It's Magic, Charlie Brown throws two bones at Charlie Brown after Snoopy makes him disappear. When Charlie Brown sees Lucy playing with her football, he takes the opportunity to kick it from her and then taunt her about it. Later on after Snoopy brings him back, Lucy tells him he can't prove that he kicked the football. Snoopy retaliates by suspending her in midair and leaves, happily skipping away with together with Charlie Brown. Earlier, there was a series of strips where Lucy asks Charlie Brown to have her new little brother, Rerun, join the team. Because of his size, Rerun keeps getting walks, and they actually manage to win their first game. Unfortunately, he and Linus are called in to a meeting with the Little League organization, who reveal that they have to forfeit their game when it was revealed that Rerun gambled on the game with Snoopy. This sometimes happens to Peppermint Patty as well. She's used to getting D's on her assignments, but she is pleased to see a creative spin on one getting a B+. Of course, Marcie has the same idea and gets an A for making her her report longer. |

The Bridge to Terabithia fandom, notably of the 2007 Disney film adaptation, has a special disdain for the movie-exclusive character Scott Hoager, who continues to bully Jess Aarons even after Leslie Burke's death. But in the LDD-fanfic, Bridge to Terabithia 2: The Last Time, the writer ElleFred took the effort to redeem Scott by including a chapter where Scott, now a teenager, and his sidekick-cum-fellow bully Gary Fulcher meets Jess and Leslie (retconned from her alleged "death") and actually spoke to each other directly for the first time in 6 years. Scott eventually apologized to Jess for being a bully and they actually became quite chummy, although Jess still doesn't consider Scott or Gary as friends, but more of acquaintances. But what really takes the cake is that in the Distant Epilogue, Scott ends up married to Jess' ex-girlfriend, the OC Sonia Taylors who is stated to have the body of a supermodel, as well as joining the military after graduation and becoming an Army Sergeant. Best of all? Scott and Sonia ends up having a son who becomes best friends with Jess' and Leslie's daughter. | |

Warhammer 40,000: After years of being the game's Butt-Monkey, shown dying in droves in the fluff, getting saddled with unplayable units, and being to some extent incompatible with the current core rules, around the transition to 4th Edition the Imperial Guard finally got a decent codex. Their 5th edition update brought such treats as support gunships and the ability to field more tanks than any other army, pushing the guard into full Who's Laughing Now? territory. They are the largest unified military force in the galaxy and get to act it. The Dark Eldar went over a decade without an update to their extremely limited and increasingly dated model range and notoriously unforgiving rulebook, before finally getting not just a codex packed full of background fluff and viable units, but some of the most detailed models Games Workshop has ever produced. The Fall of Cadia campaign ends with the Chaos Space Marines under Abaddon the Despoiler finally steamrolling through Cadia and blowing the entire planet to kingdom come after twelve similar thwarted Black Crusades, beating the combined forces of the Imperium, the Eldar, the Necrons and the Dark Eldar and Harlequins. |

Ragetti in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was given the honor of releasing the goddess Calypso from her human form, in the hopes she would help the pirates defeat the East India Trading Company. The final requirement for her release was that someone had to say "Calypso, I release you from your human bonds" as if they were saying it to a lover. Barbossa tried, very dramatically, and failed. Then Ragetti, surprisingly, stepped up and said it correctly. And then he wound up with a crab in his pants. | |

When Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was being developed, plenty of Darkstalkers fans were hoping for Jon Talbain to be a playable character after not being playable for any of them. While that unfortunately never happened, Ryoma Niitsuma, the developer of the game and it's update, ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', did say that had there been more development time, Jon would have been his pick for the series' fourth rep. At the very least, his fans were given some compensation with Amaterasu getting an alternate DLC costume that has her strongly resembling Talbain in Ultimate◊. | |

In Happy Tree Friends, Cuddles (the character who has died the most) and Giggles (the runner-up) are in a relationship. Episodes showing this, however, end with both of them dying horribly...except for one. The episode "I Nub You" have them as a counterpoint to the romance between Handy and the newly-handless Petunia. (Cuddles pushes Giggles on a swing: Handy finds doing the same tricky, so they just ride a see-saw; Cuddles and Giggles hold hands: Handy and Petunia tie their bandages together, and so on). Although Petunia and Handy, as the stars of the episode, die horribly, Cuddles and Giggles get to live. | |

Yet all she wants, is Tiffany's love, but she thinks of Faith as the enemy. Still, there was the one time Tiffany consented to a kiss, after Faith had fought valiantly to try to protect her. | |

If Leo only scoring an Oscar in his sixth attempt was deemed painful, imagine how it went for both acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (only in his fifteenth, Blade Runner 2049), composer & songwriter Randy Newman (winning Best Song for Monsters, Inc., his sixteenth attempt, after losing his fifteenth for the same film's Score) and sound mixer Kevin O'Connell (his twenty-first, Hacksaw Ridge). | |

Daði Freyr's band Gagnamagnið were selected to represent Iceland at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. Their song quickly became a viral hit online, and was widely considered to be the frontrunner to win, but the contest was cancelled for the year due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic. The band were reselected for the 2021 contest with a new song... but then one member of the band tested positive for the virus before their Semi-Final. The band chose not to perform without him so rehearsal footage was used in lieu of a live performance. Daði was eventually invited to perform in the interval act for the 2023 Contest, as part of the "United by Music" theme, finally giving him a chance to perform live on the Eurovision stage. | |
