Animation has been around for over a hundred years and for nearly as long as there's been cartoons, there's been a**holes in cartoons. Why? There's a bunch of reasons, from the lack of respect from their counterparts or because only being two dimensional can often lead to migraine headaches according to studies.

A word about the list; it's mostly comprised of characters who aren't trying to be jerks, but just are. Hopefully, we can all learn something from it. Enjoy.

40. Magic Man (Adventure Time)

 

He turns Finn into a huge foot the first time we meet him. At least choose a different body part...

39. Master Shake (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

Worst roommate ever.

38. The Monarch (The Venture Bros.)

 

He often directly kills his own henchman or sacrifices many of them at a time. Not cool man, not cool.

37. Jimmy Pesto (Bob's Burgers)

 

He always has to try to upstage Bob. Whether it be with commercials or arcades, he can never let Bob win one.

36. Wizard Duncan (Community)

He couldn't just let Abed have a claymation Christmas, he wanted to further his career.

35. Randall J Weems (Recess)

He thought he was doing the right thing by helping Mrs. Finster, but he ended being a bit of a buzzkill.

34. Muttley

Dogs are supposed to be loyal but Muttley didn't get the memo. I don't like Dick Dastardly either but you play the cards you're dealt.

33. Squidward (SpongeBob SquarePants)

Poor Squidward should've reacted quicker when they built a pineapple next to his house.

32. Rick Sanchez (Rick and Morty)

This character created in the vein of Dr. Emmett Brown is a drunk genius who pisses everyone off.

31. The Great Gazoo  (The Flintstones)

I get that being a tiny green man with an encephalitis sized head from the planet Zetox can be irritating but does this little prick have to be so damn condescending?

30. Mickey Mouse ("Steamboat Willie")

Before he became a beloved corporate shill, this rodent was one mean dude. Note how he forcibly yanks a feather from a peacock to be a tail for his plane. Nice.

29. Johnny Bravo

This is one hot mama's boy who has enough product in his hair to make the ozone layer nothing but a fond memory. Go green Johhny!

28. Beavis and Butt-Head

This was the disclaimer before their show:

"Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models. They're not even human. They're cartoons. Some of the things they do could cause a person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, possibly deported. To put it another way: Don't try this at home."

Come on.

27. Mr. Spacely (The Jetsons)

I don't care if you're stuck in a boring, loveless marriage. Doesn't mean you get to take it out on your employees.

26. Boris Badenov

Perhaps if Natasha finally gave him some then he wouldn't be so high strung. Who are we kidding? Of course he would be.

25. Woody Woodpecker

You're nothing but a Bugs Bunny without the charm. A heheheheha! Die.

24. Yosemite Sam

This is one bi-polar nut job that really should be medicated. How has he never been on "Law and Order?"

23. Tom

There's millions of mice in the world so leave Jerry alone!

22. Lucy Van Pelt

You're mean, lack self awareness and shouldn't be practicing psychology without a license.

21. Angelica Pickles (Rugrats)

Behind the big eyes, blond pigtails and fake smile lies someone who is truly dead inside.

20. Scrooge McDuck

The unofficial third Koch Brother. When you have a swimming pool full of gold, maybe you should consider donating to charity.

19. Comic Book Guy (The Simpsons)

Most pathetic hobby shop owner ever.

18. Cobra Commander (G.I. Joe)

Hitler without a face.

17. Ranger Smith (Yogi Bear)

Stop complaining about having to deal with Yogi's shenanigans. You're a ranger, that's your job.

16. Bluto (Popeye)

The consummate bully. Olive Oyl just isn't into you. Look at her, that's a good thing!

15. Bender (Futurama)

This robot only ever thinks about himself... and alcohol.

14. Sterling Archer

Why haven't they brought back phrasing yet?

13. Elmer Fudd

How is this guy not the N.R.A. poster boy? He's white, reactionary and loves to kill.

12. HIM (Powderpuff Girls)

So evil that you cannot mention his name just like Lord Voldemort, making him an evil plagiarist.

11. The Brain

Consistently wants to take over the world and enslave its entire population. Still, you've got to admire his dedication.

10. Krusty (The Simpsons)

Selfish, insanely into money and constantly complaining. In essence, the perfect show business animal.

9. Skeletor

Perhaps, this guy would calm down if he remembered to moisturize.

8. Moe Szyslak (The Simpsons)

Alternates between resignation and rage. But he does make a good Flaming Moe.

7. Vicky (Fairly Oddparents)

Who should we get to babysit our precious Timmy? How about a sixteen-year-old girl with homicidal tendencies?

6. Scrappy Doo

Why can't this runt follow the example of Old Yeller by being brave and dead?

5. Gargame (The Smurfs)

This pathetic old turd gives scoliosis a bad name. He did create Smurfette though.

4. Roger (American Dad)

The only good alien living in your house is any alien but this slimy, depraved, gross alien.

3. Eric Cartman (South Park)

Even for a racist, aggressive, emotionally unstable sociopath, he's still pretty bad.

2. Montgomery Burns (The Simpsons)

Perhaps the best thing we can say about him is that there is no definitive proof that he had anything to do with the holocaust.

1. Pepe Le Pew

Why is this skunk number one on this dubious list? Two reasons: he's French and a date rapist.
