History TheScrappy / WesternAnimation

** The Stepbrothers, Chet and Lorenzo, who were essentially the [[TheDividual same character]] are venomously despised by the fandom. Reasons include them having no real characteristics besides hating each other, most of their conversations/interactions amounting to beating each other up and how they'd continue to stay in the race until a little past the halfway mark in spite of the fact their endless fighting made it implausible they would have been able to complete even a single challenge. Often the show manages to justify their placing by not showing them do the challenge at all and randomly having them reach the chill zone before last place, at the expense of booting several other more popular teams. Them making up and becoming friends only made things worse, with people accusing them of going from an Anti-Katie and Sadie to a Katie and Sadie 2.0 without fixing their other problems. They also downright refuse to remember their times on the race when eliminated, instead just rambling on how they hate the show, and laugh at the Rockers when they are eliminated as well, though at least they had a cute moment when they shared a hug.

* ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'': Prissy Polly. Her shrilly voice and overly jolly personality tend to annoy viewers as well as her habit of wanting things to be exactly her way, even to the discomfort of others. It doesn’t help that she treats her husband (who is constantly oppressed to begin with) like dirt. To some, she can be viewed as a female equivalent of Perfect Peter.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChallenegOfTheGobots'': Scooter. Oh gods, Scooter. He probably would have been more popular if they hadn't made Frank Welker give him the most ''annoying voice possible''. Also Nick - who was basically Scooter's best buddy.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Silverhawks}}'':
** For some viewers, Copper Kid. He's not halfway as bad as other token children in other shows, though.
** Seymour and Zeek the Beak may fit the definition more, though for what it's worth they're nowhere near as annoying as Snarf and Snarfer.

** [[CatsAreMean Mr. Kat]] can also be this. He loves to make [[ButtMonkey Coop Burtonburger]] suffer and the latter is always [[TheScapegoat blamed]] of him (with Old Lady Munson being the worst offender) and Mr. Kat [[KarmaHoudini get away]].

* ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'' had Flim-Flam, an EthnicScrappy who managed to be the most reviled character on the show, even though Scrappy himself was also on it. (Although part of that is that the show's setup made better use of Scrappy's attitude and behavior, making him RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.) Flim-Flam was so poorly thought of that in ''Mystery Incorporated'', Daphne mentions that he was imprisoned for his ConArtist antics. Surprisingly, when Warner Bros. decided to finally finish that series with ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheCurseOfThe13thGhost'', Flim-Flam got a second chance, having gotten an AgeLift.

** Hannibal Roy Bean [[InformedAbility is made up to be the ultimate villain, but he never succeeds in showing that]]. Also, [[{{Gonk}} he's very unattractive]] compared to the [[EvilIsSexy other main villains]]. Because of his unpopularity, he is the only major villain who doesn't appear in ''Xiaolin Chronicles'' and Chase Young's backstory was retconned as a result.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'': This version of ComicBook/{{Aqua|man}}lad isn't very popular, due to his ChickMagnet persona being escalated to TheCasanova and acting like he owns every girl. Not to mention him hitting on Raven clashing with the show's colossal [=BBRae=] fandom.

** [[CatsAreMean Mr. Kat]] can also be this. He loves to make [[ButtMonkey Coop Burtonburger]] suffer and the latter is always [[TheScapegoat blamed]] of him (with Old Lady Munson being the worst offender) and Mr. Kat [[KarmaHoudini get away]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'': As a result of taking [[TookALevelInJerkass tremendous levels of jerkishness]], all five of the Titans in this cartoon became widely hated by fans of both the original show and this show as well. Despite ostensibly being superheroes, they come across as [[DesignatedHero so utterly unsympathetic and annoying]] to the point that most viewers find themselves [[RootingForTheEmpire rooting for the villains]]:
** Robin has gone from being an actually strong leader with a sense of morality who genuinely cares about his comrades into a whiny, arrogant, [[ItsAllAboutMe egotist]] who never stops obsessing about how he's the "Lone Wolf Leader", and actually values getting glory over doing heroic deeds.
** Cyborg was the resident [[TheSmartGuy smart guy]] of the group and was its physically strongest member. Like Robin, the show tones down his competent traits considerably to make him as dumb as Beast Boy. And whenever the two of them get together, they act like immature party guys with no regard for anyone but themselves.
** Beast Boy in the original series was already pretty silly, but he could get serious when it was needed, cared about his friends, was quite clever, and was a pretty cool guy to be around. In this show, in contrast, he's a lazy, selfish, and obnoxious jerk who cares for no one, and [[TookALevelInDumbass is a complete dumbass]]. "Ghost Boy" and "Staring at the Future" are the episodes where he is at his worst, the former taking advantage of the Titans and casually killing them off while the latter has him and Cyborg ruin the lives of the other three Titans.
** This version of ComicBook/{{Aqua|man}}lad isn't very popular, due to his ChickMagnet persona being escalated to TheCasanova and acting like he owns every girl. Not to mention him hitting on Raven clashing with the show's colossal [=BBRae=] fandom.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

* Sid. He is a FairWeatherFriend who betrays everyone at the drop of a hat, makes fun of Harold and Patty like a JerkAss, and ''everyone'' forgets he pulls the same thing over, and over, and over again. Whenever Sid gets ADayInTheLimelight, it highlights how [[CloudCuckoolander weird and off-kilter]] he is, and not in a likeable way either. "Bag of Money" is the most notable example of why Sid is often disliked.

* Helen Lovejoy for constantly criticizing everything and being a gossip machine.

* The attempted redesign of WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd into [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bu2uLs9dCQc/U_zEmkIUkEI/AAAAAAAAZRQ/S4khxLO2MX0/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-08-26%2Bat%2B18.29.52.png a taller, much fatter version of himself]] was so badly-received that only four cartoons were ever made with the design. It ''did,'' however, lead to the [[MemeticMutation Big Chungus]] meme as a result of Bugs Bunny mocking him, so this redesign isn't without its upsides. Elmer in general is strongly hated by the fandom.

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** Prince Wally from the episode "Royal Pain" is considered one of the most obnoxious and unlikable characters the series ever had, with many viewers [[RootingForTheEmpire rooting for the Knights of Rodeghan to ax him off.]] This might be the reason he was never utilized again following his episode.
** Artie Smarty. Though the show makes clear he's the way he is because his single workaholic father ignores him.

* The {{Trope Namer|s}} is Scrappy-Doo. Scrappy was introduced in 1979 as Scooby-Doo's nephew in a bid to revitalize the franchise when its popularity was beginning to wane. And it worked; [[KidAppealCharacter children adored Scrappy]], and thus the show remained a staple of Saturday morning entertainment. The main reason Scrappy is so associated with unintentionally hated characters is that the show's existing fanbase didn't like him. And those that didn't like Scrappy ''really'' didn't like him. It wasn't really an indictment of the character of Scrappy himself so much as the GenreShift he precipitated -- the show soon switched to a ThreeShorts format, relegated Fred and Velma to guest appearances and dropped Daphne entirely, and introduced real monsters instead of the series' standard ScoobyDooHoax.[[note]]That last complaint might seem odd to modern fans, being used to the gang facing off against real supernatural threats, but back then it was not accepted among the fanbase, and it wouldn't be until 1998's ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland''.[[/note]] The shorts' format lasted for three seasons and gained neutral to positive reception, but many fans never warmed to the shift, and thus took all of their anger out on Scrappy. The 1984 incarnation ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMysteries'' slowly moved back to two shorts, reintroduced Daphne, and made the monsters fake again (or at least [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane ambiguous as to their true nature]]), but Scrappy got a lot more screen time at the expense of Fred and Velma, even finding clues or delivering TheSummation. After two seasons of that, the showrunners abruptly dropped Fred and Velma altogether and embraced the "real monsters" concept. Fans believed that Scrappy had effectively replaced the characters they loved. And those who didn't like Scrappy as a character -- and there were many, as he was brash, abrasive, foolhardy, and generally not fitting in the show's aesthetic -- were quick to blame him for all of the changes that they didn't like. It wasn't until Hanna-Barbera sold the property to Warner Bros. in 1998 that the franchise gave Fred, Velma, and Daphne their prominent roles again. Ever since, Scrappy has become an in-joke as the most hated character in the series -- [[Film/ScoobyDoo2002 the 2002 live-action/CGI movie]] goes out of its way to bash him, and he's had increasingly sporadic appearances since, only showing up to get a cheap gag in about how much nobody likes him if he shows up at all. In retrospect, Scrappy was {{Misblamed}} for things that happened which weren't aspects of his character, and the fanbase has started to soften up to him to the point where he's merely a BaseBreakingCharacter instead of an outright Scrappy these days. Even so, the sheer vitriol that Scrappy once got (and still gets, in some circles) ensures that the stigma of being unintentionally hated will forever be attached to him, which is why he's the Trope Namer.
