NOTE: Please give reasons for these characters being butt-monkeys. ![]() ![]() 3 Why This Trope Is a Pain in the Butt (no pun intended).The nickname "Megward the Wizard" is named after three characters who fit this trope, Meg Griffin from Family Guy, Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants, and Kyle the Wizard from Fanboy & Chum Chum. Keep in mind that some of them became popular because of this (e.g. Physically, mentally, verbally, or all of the above. To sum up this trope, it's a character who goes through hell. Needless to say, it's usually unwarranted unless it's a jerk or a villain who gets what's coming to them. They are the polar opposite of karma houdinis, sometimes getting bullied and abused by them can also lead to another trope besides this trope, like vengeance, insanity, sadism, villainy, etc.įurthermore, not all butt-monkeys are "unlucky" characters because they are frequently just accident-prone characters and get abused for no reason, their predicaments and vulnerabilities are always varied.
