Karma Houdini

Karma Houdinis are people who don't get punished for any wrongdoing. They are the opposite of Butt-Monkeys. No matter how bad they do, or how much they deserve it, Karma just seems to forget about them and instead punish the innocent Butt-Monkeys.

Notable Karma Houdinis
NOTE: Please do not put Harry Houdini, because although he is the trope namer, he is real, and this is for fictional characters ONLY.
 * Danger Mouse (2015) (; He has done wrong things and half of the time bad things don't happen to him.
 * Dukey (Seasons 4-6) ('' ; Although he is supposed to be the role-model of Johnny Test, he is actually responsible for putting Johnny into a handful of situations, and not once is he blamed (except occasionally by Johnny's sisters))
 * Susan and Mary Test (Seasons 4-6) (Johnny Test; Half of the time they get away with DNA experiments or other prohibited experiments. Especially making Dukey talk. This is mainly focused on experimenting with Johnny, altering his DNA as well. And they usually don't get caught.)
 * Hugh Test (Seasons 4-6) (Johnny Test; It is implied that he hates Johnny. In 99 Deeds of Johnny Test, he threatened to send him to the military academy if he got one more detention and was UPSET that his permanent record was cleared. And in Spotless Johnny, he threatened to take away PANTS for a WEEK. Not only will that get Johnny in trouble for public nudity but it will also get Hugh arrested because he's the responsible one.)
 * SpongeBob SquarePants (Seasons 6-8)
 * Patrick Star (Seasons 6-8)
 * Jerry (Gene Deitch Era)
 * Mr. Krabs (SpongeBob Squarepants; especially in later seasons of the series. Most infamously in One Couse Meal, where he led Plankton to attempt suicide by letting himself be roadkill after he tormented Plankton by wearing a Pearl costume and then Mr. Krabs Laughs  when SpongeBob tells him this.)
 * Big Tex Arkana (; Due to his greedy and villainous nature, he was shown to be running a pawnshop with thieves and underpaid employees that hard work for any wage in earlier segments of the show which caused him to be doing illegal crimes with them, most notably in the infamous episode, Get the Hock Out where he hires Buddy and Darnell (despite them having no money) just to scam other Greasepit citizens into their stuff that they got from his pawnshop. In fact, all the crimes that he and his employees did will lead to them being arrested by Sheriff Cannonball or lose more money from his pawnshop dealing with lawsuits and thousand dollar fines from Thunderstruck Trucking and other people who either got their stuff broken or stolen by his employees, despite this, Big Tex somehow redeemed himself in "The Sneezing Fits of Death" (though he did went on a trip without knowing that his son was left at home in Babysitters Yo).)
 * Glenn Quagmire (Seasons 7-present)
 * Megan Parker (Her constant practical jokes and pranks more often than not get Drake and Josh into trouble and she never gets punished for any of them, leaving Drake and Josh alone to be given the blame while Megan always gets off scot-free.)
 * Lynn Loud Jr. (The Loud House; Constantly bullies her brother Lincoln by using him as a sports dummy and nicknames him "Stinkoln". She got away with threatening to beat Lincoln with her baseball bat. Then, she called him "bad luck", which eventually led to him being locked out of the house with his bedroom boarded up and his things sold off. He is then forced to sleep outside on a pile of leaves and is later forced to wear a squirrel suit to earn "good luck" to the Loud family for an unknown amount of time. All within the infamous episode No Such Luck. She also didn't get punished for shoving Lincoln, Rusty, and Zach into lockers in Schooled! and for giving her Principal a fine in that special.)
 * Bendy (Foster's Home for imaginary friends; Pictured; Framed Bloo, Coco, Eduardo, and Wilt for doing pranks around the home and tricked both Mr. Herrman and Frankie into believing him. He then pulls a nasty grin at them whenever Mr. Herrman and Frankie have their backs turned. In the end, Bloo got punished by being forced to clean up the Gum under the couch while Bendy got off scot-free. (Though Bloo kinda desired it given how he usually is.) He was so hated that he never appeared in another Foster's Home episode again except for his signature being shown briefly in the final episode Goodbye to Bloo.)
 * Bowser (SML)
 * Duncan (Total Drama Island-Total Drama World Tour) (While he did get away with bullying Harold most of the time, he does not get repercussions for cheating on Courtney for Gwen. This act was what caused Gwen to be hated by her team. Duncan indirectly caused Gwen's elimination by throwing a dingo at Cody. Otherwise, Cody would have voted for Courtney, along with Gwen and Heather, sending Courtney home. Duncan's cheating on Courtney was what caused Gwen to be placed on the Villainous Vultures, despite her good behavior.)
 * Kaname Asagiri (Magical Girl Site) (He was captured by Detective Kichiro Misumi, instead of being taken to custody after he killed Nijimi.)
 * Sarina Shizukume (Magical Girl Site) (She was slit to the throat by Yatsumura instead of putting down the box cutter)
 * Jade West (Victorious) (She couldn't play Steamboat Suzy, but she was never punished for causing Tori to pass out from blood loss.)
 * Abby Anderson (The Last of Us Part II) (She killed Joel with her golf club, murdered most people who were close to Ellie, and did a Gollum by biting off two of Ellie's fingers. She escaped by setting off on a speedboat.)
 * Ben (Axzyte) (He framed Axzyte for using his mom's credit card for games, but in the end, he got grounded)
