** The High Priestess is the insane leader of a religious cult that worships [[BigBad Aku]] and trains her own seven daughters as assassins to kill [[TheHero Jack]]. Said training consists in constantly putting them in danger, cutting them off from the outside the world, punishing them for the most innocent of missteps, and shoving them as children into burning coals so their skin is blackened by the soot and ash. Mother of the year, this bitch ain't, that's for sure. Compared to her, ''[[EldritchAbomination Aku]]'' is practically a saint.

** Aku himself became one in Episode C. [[spoiler: Not only does he kill Scaramouche (a fan favorite), but he causes a rift between Jack and Ashi (the FanPreferredCouple), forcibly turns his own daughter into a demon of his likeness against her will, and then forces her to kill Jack (or possibly even vice versa), all while enjoying every minute of it.]] This was most likely done to get viewers to root for Jack even more in the Grand Finale as well as to remind viewers that even though he may be LaughablyEvil, Aku is still the embodiment of pure evil.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'': Since this series takes place before Batman and the GCPD were on friendly terms, we have [[CanonForeigner Police Chief Angel Rojas]], a smug FatBastard with no redeeming qualities. He treats all of his subordinates (particularly Ethan Bennett) like garbage and is beyond hell-bent on arresting the Batman rather than the criminals who are actually causing harm to the city. Not only that but he's incredibly incompetent at his job and is implied to be on the take in one episode. Thankfully he is replaced by Jim Gordon in the third season and never appears again.

** The Dominator only appears for one episode and his appearance is used to demonstrate how Aku's influence has allowed the truly malignant to prosper in the future. He destroys an innocent village, kidnaps their children and turns them into SlaveMooks via chips in their heads which cause them pain. After sending them to attack Jack he spends his time torturing Ashi and bragging about how easy it is to control children. He stands out as especially hateful when [[BigBad Aku]] himself is played largely as a joke in the same episode while he's played seriously.

* On ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' we have Chloe Bourgeois. An AlphaBitch of the highest class, her constant belittling and bullying of everybody around her, exploiting the fact that she's the daughter of the Mayor of Paris to get whatever she wants (even getting people expelled from her school) and only noting that she has hurt people's feelings just enough to snark about it, it's no wonder that most of the Akuma attacks on the show can be attributed to her.

Kyle is shown to hate Cartman as its revealed that many of the other kids in the town hate him as well.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': There is overwhelming evidence that the writers of the show have been trying to mold Roger into one of these. While he was initially seen as the show's EnsembleDarkhorse due to his unpredictability and scheming, later seasons greatly exaggerated his {{Jerkass}} behavior and increased the number of episodes where he played a central role to the point where his sociopathy wasn't funny anymore and many of his appearances (such as his lifeguard subplot in "Bahama-Mama") came across as forced and borderline CreatorsPet territory at the expenses of other characters like Hayley, Klaus, and Francine. In particular, season 9 is the point where many fans believe he crossed the MoralEventHorizon, with episodes like "Love: AD Style" (where he becomes a StalkerWithACrush to Hayley, to the point where he ties her up and plans to SKIN HER ALIVE AND WEAR HER SKIN just so he can be "closer" to her - and then skins Jeff alive and wears his skin when he interrupts, thinking it would get Hayley to love him. Naturally, one of the most hated episodes of the series.) and "Naked to the Limit One More Time" (where he sends Jeff into space after he discovers he's an alien - after the two seemingly bond - so he can continue living with the Smiths - thus kick-starting [[ArcFatigue a barely acknowledged seasons-long arc]]) portraying him as monster (and this was after the season 8 episode "Virtual In-Stanity" which had a subplot of him killing six teenagers simply because they didn't pay him $20 for a limo ride as well as an innocent flight attendant because he had "blood rush"... And at one point also has him casually mention to Klaus that he ''also killed five teenagers'' the previous week over ''$19''!).

''$19''!). The episode "Ricky Spanish" is a perfect example to show that the writers intended for Roger to be hated as that episode involves Roger going into an alter ego that is the most despised man in town.

While she [[BitchInSheepsClothing puts on a pleasant smile for the cameras]], she is frequently dismissive and even downright spiteful towards the fighters she's interviewing, leading commentator Johnny Gomez (another frequent victim of her insults) to call her out on it on numerous occasions. Needless to say, fans frequently clamored for her to be killed off.
** In the original seasons of the show, Debbie Matenopoulos was such, and not just because [[ReplacementScrappy she replaced the previous interviewer, Stacy Cornbred]]. She was frequently disrespectful towards the celebrities she was interviewing, and she was especially an asshole towards Nick. Of course, compared to Tally, she gets it fairly easy.
* Zordrak, despite being the BigBad of ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'', [[OrcusOnHisThrone doesn't actually have much involvement in the scheme of things]], his far more sympathetic lackeys the Urpneys usually doing all the active work in whatever new plan is made. As such usually he has little role outside abusing his minions and acting as a driving force into them trying to take the stone, and being the one legitimately evil bad guy so we don't feel ''too'' bad about the Urpneys losing.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** Being a high order SadistShow, the show tends to flip around with this for almost every character depending on RuleOfFunny. This erratic development is likely what led to the show's frequent DarknessInducedAudienceApathy.
** Connie D'Mico serves the purpose of being a high school bully who picks on Meg, so that fans can hate her.
** Carter Pewterschmidt, Lois's father, every now and then.
** When Peter creates a TV Show called Peter's Funhouse, Lois starts demanding that Peter help more around the house instead of spending all his time on television. In response, he creates a puppet resembling Lois by the name of Saggy Naggy who doesn't want any of the children on the show to have fun. When Lois decides to visit a store, a bunch of kids notice her and give her a beating.
* The Professor's [[InsufferableGenius insufferable]] clone Cubert from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', whom the writers created to be unlikable as a parody of [[TheScrappy characters]] like [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Wesley Crusher]].
* Pete on ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' is not a traditional villain due to the show's setting. Instead, he's just [[{{Jerkass}} a thoroughly unpleasant person]] who treats everyone like crap, especially his neighbour Goofy and his own son, PJ, [[NiceGuy the two characters who deserve it the least]]. Most of his episodes play him as TheChewToy and it's always satisfying to see his schemes fail. This is {{downplayed}} to a certain degree, as Pete does have some intentionally sympathetic moments, infrequent though they may be.
* While ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' does have villains like [[EnfantTerrible Gideon]], [[EldritchAbomination Bill Cipher]] or the government agents, you can't hate them because the former two have a lot of EvilIsCool qualities that makes fans LoveToHate them while the latter are [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure quite reasonable]] unlike most agents in other media and have [[VillainHasAPoint several good reasons]] to oppose Stan and the Mystery Shack. However there are some characters in the cartoons that we can truly hate:
** Filbrick, Stan's father who [[spoiler: disowned him after he accidentally ruined Ford's chances of going to a dream school (and the millions the family could've made as a result), particularly given that this action made ''both'' of his sons' problems, including their relationship with each other, even worse than it would have been otherwise]].
** The Northwest families are a family full of RichBastard {{Jerkass}}es whose entire generations are full of cheaters, liars and scammers, something even [[AlphaBitch Pacifica]] herself [[EvenEvilHasStandards finds despicable]], to the point of having a change of heart after learning about it.
*** Prior to Season 2, Pacifica serves as this role as an AlphaBitch {{Foil}} to Mabel whose constant selfishness and KickTheDog moments towards her made Pacifica unlikeable. However, after receiving CharacterDevelopment and having a tragic FreudianExcuse, her role as a Hate Sink is eventually transferred to her AbusiveParents.
*** Nathaniel Northwest. He ordered the commoners to build a huge mansion which cost the live of many lumberjacks and innocent people in order to flaunt his fortune in front of other people, promising them a big party in return. [[spoiler:Except he didn't even do that; he kicked them out as soon as the mansion's construction was complete, directly causing one lumberjack to invoke a DyingCurse by manifesting himself as a ghost to annually terrorise the Northwests, hoping that he could force them to uphold their end of the bargain. The sad part is that everyone who ever knew of his vile nature is long dead]].
*** Preston Northwest may not be as a prominent villain as the [[BigBadDuumvirate two major Big Bads]] or even the Lumberjack Ghost in his featured episode but he is a massive DirtyCoward who is willing to endanger the lives of innocent people to preserve his own pride and [[AbusiveParents abuses his daughter]] by manipulating her into an AlphaBitch and if she ever try to speak up, he rings a bell to force her to obey. When he tries to sell himself out to Bill's apocalypse, he gets his [[FacialHorror face completely rearranged]], which is obviously painful and horrifying, but considering what a {{Jerkass}} he is fans actually cheered for Bill when he did that.
* When ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' isn't saving the world, chances are she's dealing with Bonnie Rockwaller, a stereotypical cheerleader who loves making her life miserable. While she ''does'' help Kim on occasion, it's mostly out of pragmatism, and will go back to making Kim's life miserable when job is done. Ron Stoppable wonders why Kim doesn't resort to using kung fu on her since she's dedicated her life to stopping evil.
* Unalaq from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' was intended to be this, given his CompleteMonster status, but ended up being hated for being a flat character instead of his actions.
* Virginia of ''WesternAnimation/LolaAndVirginia'', she's a super stuck up AlphaBitch who acts like the worlds revolves around her, and is willing to use every dirty trick to get her way. She has very little to no redeeming qualities, and it is satisfying when she does get her comeuppance in the end.
* Disney/MickeyMouse has his rival Mortimer Mouse. Pretty much every one of his appearances has him be a complete jackass to Mickey and/or attempt to seduce Mickey's girlfriend Minnie, which makes his eventual comeuppance all the more satisfying.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** [[PrinceCharmless Prince Blueblood]]. He's just a RoyalBrat who acts like a {{jerkass}} to Rarity in the episode "The Best Night Ever" when Rarity tries to win his affection. How effective is he as such? An Blog/EquestriaDaily poll asked its visitors who they thought the best royal pony was. ''[[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] got six times more votes than him.'' [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/09/poll-results-best-royal-pony.html You can't just write this stuff.]]
** The [[TeensAreMonsters teenage]] dragons from "Dragon Quest". Their only purpose is to be complete and utter {{Jerkass}}es to Spike and anything that's not a dragon. Toward the end of their episode, the dragons attempt to kidnap baby phoenixes and try to force Spike to smash an unhatched phoenix [[ForTheEvulz just because it's fun.]]
** For the longest time, Diamond Tiara, who's really just a ordinary filly with an AlphaBitch streak was presented as the least sympathetic character in the show and only appeared to exist to make life miserable for the Cutie Mark Crusaders and other school-aged characters. It wasn't until Season 5 that they presented her in a sympathetic light and shouldn't be considered an example of this trope any longer. However, the same episode also introduced her mother, Spoiled Rich, who's an incredibly nasty snob who looks down on everyone for virtually no reason and [[AbusiveParents holds Diamond Tiara to ridiculous standards, with no forgiveness should she fall short]].
** Svengallop in "The Mane Attraction." The manager of Applejack's ChildhoodFriend Coloratura, throughout the episode he was obnoxious towards ''everypony'' whether it be Applejack, children, or even Coloratura herself. The final nail in the coffin for him was his treatment of Pinkie Pie. Gilda may have gained ire for making [[FriendToAllLivingThings Fluttershy]] cry, but it takes a special kind of evil to overwork and criticize a pony known for being FunPersonified to the point where she's battered and almost about to cry.
** Fluttershy brother Zephyr Breeze in "Flutter Brutter". For most of the episode Zephyr is lazy, obnoxious, and narcissistic, and his constant, clearly unwanted hitting on Rainbow Dash doesn't much help. It's clear that viewers are not supposed to like him until the end.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Of the main antagonists, Candace is rude and selfish but isn't really a bad person and ultimately just wants to protect her brothers, and Doofenshmirtz is [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain so bad at being evil that you just feel sorry for him]]. No such sympathetic qualities are shown at all by Doofenshmirtz' AbusiveParents.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has a ShowWithinAShow Example inside Terrence and Phillip. The show in question is about two Canadian actors who enjoy farting in other's faces. Though it's considered a horrible show by Sheila Broflovski and other adults, there's nothing to hate about that... except for Scott the Dick, the nemesis of Terrence and Phillip who thinks fart jokes are the lowest form of humor and wishes that Terrence and Phillip have cancer despite them not really doing anything to antagonize him.
** In the series proper, there's Stephen Stotch. Most of the time, he mistreats Butters really badly. Whether it be getting angry over a "bad" school photo or {{Gaslighting}} him for putting Hamburger Helper in coffee, you can't blame Butters for seeing him as a monster. Butters' mom Linda could also count, but she is the lesser of two evils since she has been shown to care about her son.
** As of Season 20, Gerald Broflaski has cemented himself as one [[spoiler: with the revelation that he's a troll who openly takes delight in others misery for a cheap laugh, then framing his own toddler son when he's exposed]]
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** In the episode "Pickles", Bubble Bass. He's probably more of a FatBastard than the [[Film/AustinPowers trope namer]]. He (intentionally) caused [=SpongeBob=] to have a HeroicBSOD, and when his lies were revealed, he tries to run away like a coward. The operative word here being "tries". What he does is less ''"running"'' and more ''"attempting to move faster than walking speed while wheezing heavily due to his morbid obesity"''.
** Squilliam Fancyson, Squidward's rival who is just as persnickety as he is but way more of a bully. His losses, however short, are always rewarding, especially considering [[ThrowTheDogABone how unusual wins are for Squidward.]]
** In a similar manner "Pizza Delivery" features an UnsatisfiableCustomer who, after ordering for a pizza to be delivered from a service, rewards Spongebob's arduous loyalty by screaming blue murder at him for forgetting a drink he never ordered and slamming the door in his teary eyed face. This all to set up for another rare EveryoneHasStandards moment for Squidward, who promptly ''[[TheDogBitesBack force feeds him the whole pizza box in one bite]]''. Interestingly the character here is a recurring LivingProp, some of the other characters he takes on aren't nearly as odious.
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** Kevin is a chauvinistic jerk who constantly invades Stevonnie's personal space even after they voice their discomfort. Even ''[[AllLovingHero Steven's]]'' reaction to this guy is to snarl his name through gritted teeth when he shows up at It's A Wash, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness and he flat out states that he hates the guy]] not a minute later.
** While other unpleasant characters in the show usually show HiddenDepths at some point, Marty shows no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and seems to exist just to be hated. Both Greg and Vidalia, the people who primarily interacted with him, have expressed that they neither know nor care where Marty is today, with Greg adding that Marty was "dead to me". He gets even more hate when he tries to exploit his own son's interest in making music just to promote a drink that no one likes.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': The episode ''[[Recap/TeenTitansS4E6Troq Troq]]'' has the PoliticallyIncorrectHero Val Yor. You can't hate the Locrix since they don't speak and aren't given enough focus for the audience to care about them. You can hate Val Yor however for being a racist asshole who is prejudiced against Tamaranians. Even getting his life saved by Starfire isn't enough to get him to drop his prejudiced views, merely remarking that she's "one of the good ones". When the Titans defend Starfire, Val Yor claims that Earthlings are no better than Tamaranians.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''.
** [[ButtMonkey Ezekiel]] was the first character to ever be eliminated, and when he came back in Season 3, despite being a lot more confident in his chances, he was eliminated first again. After the second elimination, he eventually went feral, and is essentially treated like an animal by the show now.
** [[MotorMouth Staci]]'s only purpose seems to be to be the first character eliminated in ''Revenge of the Island''. And possibly to prevent an EnsembleDarkhorse from arising, she accomplishes this by being annoying the rest of the contestants with lies about her family.
** [[BigSisterBully Amy]] doesn't do much other than bully Samey, and she isn't exactly nice towards anyone else or helpful in the challenges either. [[spoiler: Partially because Samey is able to get her eliminated relatively early]], she also doesn't show many, if any, redeeming qualities.
* Sentinel Prime from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' definitely counts due to being an insufferable dick to everyone and the main Autobots hating his guts.
* Sky Marshall Wade from ''WesternAnimation/VoltronForce''. He is a corrupt and self righteous military commander and war profiteer who causes more trouble than the real big bad King Zarkon. The main characters spend more time fighting against Wade's oppressive rule, and he does almost everything on the EvilOverlordList.
