Nothing beat Saturday morning cartoons when you were growing up.
That feeling of waking up stupidly early so you could sit cross-legged and transfixed on the TV for hours on end is hard to beat.
Sure, as adults, we have sex, sleep-ins and cars to entertain us during the weekends – but are they really as good? OK, yes, they are, so we won’t labour the point.
Anyway, cartoons are great. But, let’s face it, some of the cartoons and cartoon characters they used to inflict on us were just terrible. They were tantamount to child abuse, seriously. You know which ones we mean – and we can only assume the people who created them had miserable childhoods.
They hated children and wanted to get back at us for some hideous playground incident back when they were nine. How else do you explain Lisa Simpson? Or even Scrappy Doo? We can only live in hope that the person responsible for Scrappy Doo will spend their after-life in the ninth level of Hell – alongside Hitler, Stalin and the guy who played Jar Jar Binks.
Anyway, here are the cartoon characters which annoyed us the most – please feel free to suggest your own,
Enjoy!
21. Tweety Bird
From: Various cartoons
How cute: a little canary with a New Jersey accent. Please eat him Sylvester and floss with his birdie bones.
20. Pebbles and Bam-Bam (especially when they grew up)
From: The Flintstones
Seriously, what was the point?
19. Teddy Ruxpin
From: The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
Could he be more earnest and annoying? You’re a bear for God’s sake, go nick some picnic baskets or kill something!
18. Porky Pig
From: Various cartoons
A pig with a stutter – just great! Genius! What next? A hare with a harelip? A monkey with a drug habit? A hedgehog who fantasises about having sex with rhinos? Actually…
17. Pepe Le Pew
From: Les Adventures de Pepe Le Pew or something
A French skunk who smells and is a bit of a sex pest. Now, we are no fans of our neighbours over the Channel, but that’s some serious stereotyping going on there. He should have been lazy, eat anything that isn’t tied down and carried a white flag with ‘strike’ on it too. Wait a minute!
16. Olive Oyl
From: Popeye
So why were they fighting over her again?
15. Luigi
From: The Super Mario Brothers Super Show
Luigi was the halfwit brother of videogame icon and fellow plumber Mario. He also was one of the main reasons Mario Bros the cartoon sucked.
14. Gazoo
From: The Flintstones
Whatever the Flintstones creators were on when they came up with a snotty, tiny green alien who only Fred could see should be banned immediately.
13. C-3PO
From: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO
George Lucas – you are going to Hell
12. Rubik
From: Rubik, The Amazing Cube
Even more annoying than a Rubik’s Cube. Do you know anyone who has actually solved one without cheating? Geek.
11. Angelica Charlotte Pickles
From: Rugrats
Whoever unleashed Rugrats on an unsuspecting world deserves being tortured by Jack Bauer.
10. Dungeon Master
From: Dungeons and Dragons
Can anyone be more smug? Or have worse hair? Put it this way: would you trust someone with that hair who calls himself ‘Dungeon Master’?
9. Uni
From: Dungeons and Dragons
While we are on the subject of Dungeons and Dragons, were we the only ones who wished that bloody unicorn and that annoying noise it made would die a horrible death?
8. David the Gnome
From: David the Gnome
A gnome. Named David. Thanks for this one, continental Europe.
7. Roadrunner
From: Roadrunner or something like that
Were we the only ones rooting for the coyote?
6. He-Man
From: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Stupid and stupid voice – some hero.
5. Bonkers D. Bobcat
From: Bonkers
Highly annoying Roger Rabbit rip-off – without Jessica Rabbit.
4. Snarf
From: Thundercats
Cursed with the most annoying voice on the planet, this alien cat nursemaid (now that is just odd) was simply a pointless character.
3. Orko
From: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
We all wished He-man’s court jester would make himself disappear.
2. Lisa Simpson
From: The Simpsons
Yes, we know she plays an important role in the show, but did they really have to make her so annoying?
1. Scrappy -Doo
From: Scooby-Doo
Whoever came up with idea of Scrappy-Doo was a lonely, bitter person. He brought misery to millions of children. We hope you are happy.

That is not bad talk so back off Treadwell! For your information he is not a great cartoon character at all and you got a point there what your saying. But I thought most people don’t probably agreed. Snoopy’s meant to talk like his speaking thoughts in the comic strip – but in the animated outings the writer Sparky Schulz decided to make him as a mime clown which didn’t work with the character which is worse than we expected to be, Snoopy’s not better than the Looney Tunes so I like Bugs Bunny or any Looney Tunes character than annoying mime characters so Snoopy deserves to be forgotten now get a life!
You should have called this list ” cartoon characters I hated the most”, because alot of the characters you mentioned are actually really good and you just gave really bad reasons for why they are the worst characters of all time. Sure, some were pretty bad, but still. Next time, get someone who has actually seen a good amount of cartoons.
How about I slap your shit?
