412. Fishing into the sewers for otyughs, and using small animals as bait on the line.
413. Using CAD software on a computer to design his next secret lair.
414. Sitting in a support group with other villains from famous literature and media.
415. Playing keyboards for a band at a kid's party.
416. Practicing his villainous retorts in front of a mirror, so it looks as if he is looking right at you.
417. Having a meet and greet with some of his newest minions families, wife child, etc.
418. Maniacally laughing while poking something in a fire before pulling out some kind of meat and placing it on a plate. (comic: while wearing a kiss the cook apron.)

94 participating in a sports event ("and now, up to bat' is..."). Potentially includes gladiatorial stuff.
95. Judging a competition (comic - they get an image of simon cowell)
Succubi MMA fights... Between a higher CMD than expected and DR, fights would take a while. It also has the benefits of eye candy.

Combine the two. Your scrying is redirected to an image that hypnotizes viewers, like a bathing nymph or a bathing succubus...

He either summons his girlfriend via planar binding or they watch some bound planar creatures... perform.

I was already reading in succubi into so many answers that I think my brain may be damaged. I blame Lamontius.
Where do you get the notion that a bathing succubus has any special effect on viewers?
And the nymph will either blind or do nothing, not hypnotize. (And it would take a pretty powerful illusion to blind the viewer if it even works on a scrier in the first place.)

It's a high level divination counter with an enchantment rider built in. I'm sorry if you took issue to my thematic joking.
If I'm going to build in a fascinate/hypnotism effect, my inner... my... I think making it someone REALLY pretty works. For some of us in the real world, it doesn't even take a magical effect.
432. Practicing his dance moves while a captive bard plays.
433. Interrogating the bard as to the best chat up lines to impress one of the PCs. These still sound like maniacal expositional monologues.
434. Mooning over a picture of one of the PC's and bemoaning that they are 'just misunderstood'.
435. Creating illusions of one of the pcs and pretending to be engaging in idyllic everyday scenarios such as eating a meal.
434. Trying to create a golem that looks like one of the pcs for above purpose.

Not only is there a common theme, here, but you've begun a countdown as well. :)
438. Throwing darts at a picture of his most hated enemy, one of the PCs
Comic version: Throwing darts at a picture of his most hated enemy, the PCs hireling torchboy (first level commoner).
439. Animating some skeletons
Comic version: Animating Mr. Skullhead.
(The first would probably be a Good Idea, the latter a Bad Idea. In fact, that's kinda how I imagine this thread- with the narrator of the Good Idea/Bad Idea Animaniacs segment saying "Serious Version", "Comic Version"
455. Unpacking a number of mundane items (some of them of unusual size) from several wooden crates that have the word ACME emblazoned on the side, while referring to a large blue scroll that is not viewable by the scryer.
466. The villain is in the final stages of crafting a magic item. He explains some of its lesser powers to a nearby assistant. Then he theatrically alludes to its major abilities and is about to detail them when the scrying spell expires.
456. Attempting to change an infant's diaper and nearly barfing
457. Attempting to get an underling to change his diaper while he sucks on a giant rattle
458. Tending an orphanage... oh, crap. I can't find a link.
(Ok... there was a Halloween or Evil build fiction competition on the WotC boards and a Psion 5/Thrallherd 10/Body Leech 5 used the children as mind switch targets if he died. He basically had rooms full of hostages that died if you killed him. It was horrible... horrible I tell you... just brilliantly and terribly horrible.)
