The most famous example is probably Lolita's Humbert Humbert but I'm sure there are more. Actually there's another Nabokov book I like where the narrator is pretty bad.

There's also The Screwtape Letters, written from the point of view of a demon trying to collect souls for the devil, and Twain did another book in that vein called Letters from the Earth but that one was more him laughing at how ridiculous humans are than doing anything evil.

Ah how could I forget Lolita. I've been meaning to read that for a while actually (seen the film adaptions though.) A friend has read the book and said it made her feel weird, but she still liked it in spite of this.

The only lighter thing I can think of off the top of my head isn't a book. I did quite enjoy Megamind even though that was obviously restricted with what it could do as it was aimed at children.

I've talked about this before but in Lolita I just love the gorgeous language contrasted with the terrible things he's saying.

When was Twain ever NOT laughing about how ridiculous humans are? :P

ISTR that Lewis said that writing Screwtape (which has a deeply cynical narrative voice which is very amusing in places) was really easy. So easy that he became very creeped out at himself.
