History TheScrappy / Webcomics

* ''Webcomic/CinemaSnobReviewsFrozen'' (a fan comic where ''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob'' reviews ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'') parodies this InUniverse with Snob being really disappointed that Olaf is not this. "We were going to have so much fun hating you!"

* The...uh..."fans" of ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' hate the Sonichu kids, Robbie, Cerah and Christine, far more than any of the other characters in the comic because of their [[TastesLikeDiabetes annoyingly sweet]] design and dialogur.

* U16 Son Bra from ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse''. She possesses an incredible amount of power, an immense number of techniques, is as powerful as Perfect Cell in her base form, and has an [[ArrogantKungFuGuy incredibly smug attitude with it]]. Despite technically being heroic, her hypocrisy and arrogance have caused the readers to root for King Kold instead of her. For reference, King Kold is referred to by fans as [[FanNickname Space Hitler]].

* One of the two known[[note]](The other is more or less DeathByOriginStory)[[/note]] ways for a character [[DeaderThanDead NOT to come back]] in the verse of the FanWebcomic ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' is being a Scrappy. This is why Jamie's mother is a widow.

*** Though one could consider Eugene doesn't qualify as The Scrappy since he's clearly supposed to be dislike.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Roy's LoveInterest Celia, was quite popular at first being a funny and competent lawyer in the setting and a pretty neat romantic foil to Roy. When she was made into a major character many soured on her because of her sudden reversal to StupidGood tendencies. WordOfGod was that he tried to pit Celia's Naive yet good nature against Haley and Belkar's more pragmatic and darker natures to try and show a contrast in ideals, something the comic has done many times before. Unfortunately nearly all of Celia's points just ended up failing and a number of fans who liked her smarter moments felt she fell hard into TooDumbToLive.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** WordOfGod has it that Miko Miyazaki was a deliberate attempt to create a LawfulGood character who could be seen as a villain. It was [[KnightTemplar undeniably successful]], but her HolierThanThou attitude was so irritating that a fair number of people complained about her even existing. On the plus side, she was most definitely not a CreatorsPet--even the other characters couldn't stand her.

** Sheldon, in contrast, was probably a deliberate attempt at making a totally unlikeable character - an [[SmugSnake overly smug]] JerkAss driver who manipulated his old friends (whom he derided as 'just muscle'), attempted to gain exclusive rights to The Old Road and, when he lost to Ash [[spoiler: smashed up his car with a rock and tried to pin the blame on Ash]]. Fortunately Rumisiel - in his best Crowning SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome to date, had an EngineeredPublicConfession ready, leading to Sheldon's ''immensely satisfying'' HumiliationConga complete with [[spoiler: GroinAttack, courtesy of Missi, of all people]]. Though his arc looks to be advancing Ash's CharacterDevelopment if nothing else. Sheldon is the only racer - or even character - who has, to date, not shown even a smidgeon of sympathetic or likeable qualities. Even [[AlphaBitch Cassiel]] is more an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who has a few morals implied - Sheldon's just a [[SmallNameBigEgo power-mongering dick with an overly-large head]].

** A good number of people hate Missi Fuller, both for being the RomanticFalseLead in the [[FanPreferredCouple Ash/Emily relationship]] and for being such an incredible JerkAss towards Emily (who is, on the other hand, more dismissive of her than outright abusive). It doesn't help that despite being a WrenchWench and (presumably) a practicing car racer, she's yet to take an active participation in the story besides her [[StalkerWithACrush obsessiveness over Ash]], not to mention having NoSenseOfPersonalSpace where Ash is concerned and even refusing to accept that Ash has broken up with her. Granted, she's also something of a Woobie, a Chinese-American girl who's adopted yet her parents always pay more attention to her older step-brother, leaving her with attention-seeking issues. Recent [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments]] have gone some way to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescue her though]], as well as amp up the Woobie factor. For the most part, author Chris Hazelton has made her more likeable as a result, though her continuing [[JerkAss jerkassery]] towards Emily--which, BTW, she almost ''never'' gets called out on--is still quite grating.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
** Noah rapidly becoming either this or a CreatorsPet. More strips will be needed to know for sure.
** Grace has gained her share of haters ever since the birthday party, where her MarySue tendencies were kicked into high gear.
** Melissa used to be this as well, before character development and several points of likability came to get her RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.

** Lately, the Scrappy has been Roy's LoveInterest Celia, because of her sudden reversal to StupidGood tendencies after being established as a smart and savvy character earlier in the strip,though she turned out right about the Thieves Guild and made a very good deal with them.
*** Not really so good, since it implied that Haley had to share half of her wealth with the guild. And eventually the spared Bozzak returned to try to take his revenge on Haley (failing, of course).

* Webcomic/{{Forever16}}'s Vince had gotten a lot of backlash after his first appearance [[http://jbwarner86.deviantart.com/art/F16-Quiet-Riot-322290843 here]] where he punches out [[CasanovaWannabe Aaron]] for flirting with his girlfriend.

* The... eh... "fans" of ''Webcomic/Sonichu'' hate the Sonichu kids, Robbie, Cerah and Christine, far more than any of the other characters in the comic because of their [[TastesLikeDiabetes annoyingly sweet]] design and dialog.

* Bra from ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': the daughter of Vegeth (which means the fusion of Goku and Vegeta) and Bulma. Powerful, but with both anger and pride issues. Some fans see her as a Mary Sue. Right now, because of a bet, she is getting her ass kicked for good by King Cold and most of the fandom is cheering. Since she is supposed to be a "hero" in her universe, while King Cold is the usual mass murderer and genocidal tyrant in his universe, this reaction of the fandom tells a lot.

** The rogue Fembot, nicknamed "Maverick" as [[{{TakeThat}} an insult to both her and the Sisterhood's lack of respect for ThreeLawsCompliant]]. Mainly due to her violent approach being depicted as right despite the lack of adequete threshold for Zeroth Law behaviour.

** Ellen has always had some of this.

* [[FishPeople Des]] from ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound'' is apparently one of these, [[http://sgrblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/yore-questiens-answerd.html according to John Allison.]] Because of this, his backstory was never properly revealed, and it looks doubtful that it ever will be. John has now stated that [[http://sgrblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/state-of-onion-2010.html Des "is retired from webcomics."]] AndThereWasMuchRejoicing. [[BlatantLies Until he reappeared briefly in October 2015.]]

* Gregory from ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' after he [[spoiler: lost his white magic]] and took a major LevelInJerkAss while setting up his new career as the leader of a metal band. Readers were left with a ManChild, SmugSnake who was never allowed to be wrong and had many KickTheDog moments just to exacerbate things further.

* ''FanFic/CinemaSnobReviewsFrozen'' (a fan comic where ''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob'' reviews ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'') parodies this InUniverse with Snob being really disappointed that Olaf was not this. "We were going to have so much fun hating you!"

* There's no real Scrappy in ''AnsemRetort'' from the reader's viewpoint, but the ''in-universe'' example would be the replacement cast Ansem used when the main cast went missing. Only Red XIII got RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, and that was because Darth Maul turned him to the Dark Side.

* [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Yoshi]] of ''GeneralProtectionFault'', according to the author, annoyed quite a few readers in his inception. It also helps that his somewhat arrogant and obnoxious personality results in him not getting along with much of the rest of the cast.
* ''KeychainOfCreation'' fans once did a survey as to which character they liked the least. [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6575 Almost 50% of the votes went to...]] [[ScheduleSlip the placeholder]]. Some of the comments:

* ''PennyArcade'''s Tycho Brahe is starting to become this, thanks to his role in ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory''. However, he's pretty well-liked amongst the female readers.
* ''{{PVP}}'' has two available for your choosing, both of which having been noted by Scott Kurtz as having a strong hatedom: Scratch Fury, destroyer of worlds, and Shecky, Skull's annoying cousin. There are some who would argue that the comic's cast is made up entirely of Scrappies of different kinds forced to work in an office together.
* In ''RedString,'' Kazuo rather quickly morphed into this when he broke up with Miharu rather than stand up for both her and himself - right after finally consummating their relationship and promising to never let her go. Then he blamed ''her'' for his problems literally the next day, breaking his red string in front of her . . . and did we mention she'd just bought him a present? His continued nasty behavior, then absolute rejection of her in favor his JerkAss father (leaving even ''Miharu'' calling him a wussy) hasn't redeemed him either. Since then, every story involving Kazuo has only reinforced his character as a spineless loser, to the point where other characters call him this to his face. A number of people are even raring to call it StrangledByTheRedString if he and Miharu were ever to get back together again. If this guy can ''ever'' be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, it would take an act of God. Though recent events may have transferred him over to Main/{{Woobie}} status when it has be become apparent just how ''much'' of a [[AbusiveParents Jerk Ass Father]] he actually has. [[spoiler: Kazuo's recent suicide attempt has brought out a mixture of reactions in the fandom, though mostly concern and the hope that he will survive.]]

** Seymour gained a considerable hatedom after the September 14th, 2010 block of strips, especially after a DespairEventHorizon. The hatedom seems to have dimminished after he TookALevelInKindness

* ''SomethingPositive'' parodies this character type with a bizarre blue creature named Fluffmodeus. It was first introduced in a set of self-contained strips centered around the author, his girlfriend, and "Rippy the Razor", where it annoyed Rippy to the point of running away in terror (and the author already considered Rippy the most annoying thing ever). The caption of the comic threatened to introduce the character into the strip "if demands are not met". It eventually did get introduced into the main comic, but as the manifestation of Kharisma's mental breakdown (maybe... [[ShrugOfGod even the author isn't sure]]) that was self-aware of how utterly obnoxious it was.
* Zillion from ''StarslipCrisis''. The main point of the character was to serve as a parody''/''TakeThat to ''{{Firefly}}'', in particular the show's use of FutureSlang, the strip's author's main peeve with the show. He accomplished this by having Zillion speak almost entirely in "Deep Slang", a dialect that, amongst other things, replaces words with bizarre synonyms and dropping the ending off sentences. Unfortunately, said slang became increasingly heavy, making Zillion borderline [[TheUnintelligible Unintelligible]]...''even to the other characters in the strip.'' The fact that he had virtually zero personality also contributed to people tiring of him very quickly. Eventually, he suffered an apparent [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop]] along with another minor character in [[http://www.starslip.com/archive/20070316.shtml this strip]] (in a storyline called "The Fate Of Zillion" no less) only to eventually return and suffer ''yet another'' [[http://www.starslip.com/2008/09/05/tcourse/ apparent (and hilarious) demise]], hinting at future plans of making him TheChewToy (though the strip's revamp seems to have shifted this role to Officer Quine).

* ''{{Achewood}}'' fans have found their Scrappy in Showbiz, Roast Beef's scuzzy, trailer-trash twin brother. Before, he was simply a thickheaded, vulgar {{Jerkass}} in way too much debt, but he then degraded into a man who was not above plotting to force his brother into sex with a stripper, only to ''photograph the affair'' and then show the resulting photos to Molly ''at their wedding ceremony''. Thankfully, his plans were derailed when Beef lured him into a trap that would have him serve jail time for the duration of the wedding, and he hasn't been seen since.
