Arthur

Arthur

• In the "Pal and Kate speak" episodes, Francine's pet cat Nemo is hated for playing the Cats Are Mean stereotype a little too straight.
• Ladonna Compson and her little brother Bud are seen as two annoying and unneeded characters by many fans of the series. The fact that they're introduced in such a way that they have a more developed backstory than some of the previous main characters, such as Sue Ellen or Fern, or the fact that these two have become very close best friends to the Read siblings so fast has rubbed some people the wrong way. In later seasons they end up getting a lion's share of episodes at the expense of other characters. They were also introduced as soon as the show switched to cheaper Flash animation, which to many fans is a point of Seasonal Rot for the show, which definitely doesn't help for Ladonna and Bud.
• The Tibble Twins are not very well-liked, due to the fact that they are both very bratty and dimwitted, and very rarely get punished for their actions. While they may have a Freudian Excuse (their parents aren't around, so they are taken care of by their grandmother, who seems to spoil them), that doesn't excuse the fact that they misbehave so much, they make D.W. look like a saint in comparison. Also, they've become incredibly overexposed over the years.
• Jenna Morgan doesn't seem to be liked simply for being "ugly" and uninteresting. The writers clearly took notice of this, as she went back to being a Living Prop after Season 9's "Binky Goes Nuts". After Season 10's "Do You Speak George?", she went a full five seasons as nothing more than a drawing in the background, without being so much as referenced, talked to, or mentioned, and it wasn't until Season 18 that the writers finally broke her silence of almost a decade.
• Lydia Fox has been accused of this due to the fact that A) She was originally a fan's Original Character who was inserted into the show, and B) She mostly appears in episodes where her being in a wheelchair is a relevant plot point ^note being in a wheelchair itself isn't the reason but the fact that it's brought up a lot means that other character traits could be sidelined in favor of her being in a wheelchair.

Ben 10

Ben 10

• Ben 10: Kai, for being interested in Ben only because she wanted to tame one of his forms as a pet in her debut episode, which was also her only episode in the original series. When the character finally reappeared in Omniverse (three series and about six in-universe years later), it would only sink her reputation further due to her singlehandedly angering almost all the shippers by turning every other love interest for Ben up to that point into Romantic False Leads thanks to a huge case of Strangled by the Red String^note the producers wanted to make good on an episode from the original series that they married in the future: pretty much every scene she had with Ben involved them arguing or her seemingly being more interested in his alien forms than the man himself, and yet the other characters treat this as Belligerent Sexual Tension, one of Ben's love interests outright steps aside because You Can't Fight Fate, and their Kid from the Future shows up to shill the pairing even more. Fans weren't convinced, to say the least.
• Ben 10: Alien Force: Despite having not done much of anything, good or bad, Julie became the fandom's Scrappy surprisingly fast. This is mainly because she's seen as a barrier in the path of the fan preferred Gwen/Ben, or for the Ho Yay Shipping fans, Kevin/Ben. The character would zig-zag between this and Rescued from the Scrappy Heap up until Omniverse thanks to occasionally taking a level in jerkass. A good amount of fans did feel sorry for her and were very furious when writers had Julie break up with Ben in Omniverse and brought back Kai.^note Via Poor Communication Kills, they break up by accident when she calls Ben during a video game.
• Ben 10: Ultimate Alien:
  • Trumbipulor didn't exactly impress anyone during his small appearances. Most fans agree Omniverse did a mistake by bringing him back later.
  • Fasttrack is one of the less popular aliens, being viewed as an inferior replacement to Ensemble Dark Horse XLR8. He ends up being Put on a Bus in Omniverse.
• Ben 10: Omniverse has this trope applying to almost all background comedic characters, but Blukic and Driba, a pair of Galvan named after writers Butch Lukic and Dan Riba, deserve a special mention. They have practically become the franchise's own Jar Jar Binks by now.
  • Pax deserves a special mention, being a walking hippie stereotype with Animal Wrongs Group tendencies whose very existence contradicts Secret of the Omnitrix (where Florauna were portrayed as feral and carnivorous).
  • Harangue managed to get even more hatred than he already had in Ultimate Alien, when he was a Hate Sink for his role as a J. Jonah Jameson Expy, when he praised the Incurseans for invading Earth and getting rid of Ben. He winds up with a Karma Houdini Warranty when his later collaboration with the Forever Knights sees Ben (as Jury Rigg) turn him into an alien.
  • The aliens introduced in "Outbreak" (namely Walkatrout, Pesky Dust, Mole-Stache, and the Worst), due to all four of them having poor designs (the design process was literally just picking some of the preexisting "civilian" background aliens) and being introduced as nothing else than Joke Characters. Pesky Dust had its powers revealed 28 episodes later, Molestache and the Worst 46 (And Mole-Stache's was revealed in a deleted scene, with that), and Walkatrout never did (and according to Word of God, his sole power is to walk).^note The later reveals of Pesky Dust's and Mole-Stache's powers actually made them Rescued from the Scrappy Heap, as Pesky Dust turned out to be the first alien with sleep and dream manipulation powers, and being a fear of Khyber the Huntsman, whereas Mole-Stache's mustache had a surprising utility in it being able to spin like a propeller and form into fists. As for The Worst, he has super durability but that's it.
  • While Rad Dudesman wasn't particularly disliked when first introduced, he started becoming this trope after his portrayal in Galactic Monsters, where he Took a Level in Jerkass.
  • Collectimus, due to being a very obnoxious character and a blatant Take That, Audience!. Fans, especially those who liked the Alien Force/Ultimate Alien era, were not amused.
  • Maltruant is not particularly well-liked due to being a generic megalomaniac in a series whose megalomaniac quotient has already been filled and then some, as well as a complete waste of a good concept and voice actor. Not helped by the fact his final plan is nearly identical to the previous series' first antagonist, Aggregor.

Family Guy

Family Guy

• Jasper, Brian's gay cousin. Calling him Camp Gay is too liberal; instead suffice it to say that he's a rude conglomeration of almost every offensive gay stereotype ever conceived. He became even worse when the writers decided to make him a key player in an episode advocating gay rights, in one of the most counter-effective attempts at activism ever on the show. This same problem occurred with Quagmire's transgender mother way later on. Despite many people considering Jasper to be the homosexual equivalent of the Ethnic Scrappy (especially other gays), Seth MacFarlane stated in an interview that Jasper was supposed to appeal to the gay audience. To say that backfired is an understatement. Convincing Brian to hurt Stewie's feelings and sabotage his play certainly hasn't made him any more endearing.
• Conway - You Can Take A Bathroom Break Now Twitty. The fact that he hasn't appeared since the episode which he had a nearly three-minute-long scene (in a 23-minute long ep no less) and it was rated the worst episode in the series probably states that the writers got the hint. This was eventually acknowledged in "3 Acts of God" when God tells Peter "Oh, by the way, Conway Twitty says, 'Cut it out! Just write a joke!'".
• Vern and Johnny, who were two vaudeville actors placed in the show as a gag, were severely hated by fans for being very annoying and bland. They got so much hate that the creators of the show eventually decided to kill them both off and treated fans to seeing them meet their demise at the hands of Stewie in "Saving Private Brian", only for them to appear one last time in "Back to the Woods" (Vern as a ghost and Johnny in Hell because he was attracted to underaged boys). These two characters were also wearing out their welcome with the writers: on the DVD commentary for "Saving Private Brian", it's stated that one of the reasons they were killed off is because the writers felt they were becoming overly reliant on Vern and Johnny, cutting to them whenever the writers couldn't come up with anything better.
• Loretta Brown as some fans noticed that she only existed on the show just to be Cleveland's wife. Her day in the limelight episode even involved her cheating on Cleveland with Quagmire just because her husband's laid-back personality didn't provide her any passion. She is even considered to be a Scrappy by her own voice actress, Alex Bornstein, as she found the character to be too difficult for her to voice.

Hey Arnold!

Hey Arnold!

• Lila is widely disliked for two reasons: a reasonable one (she's "ever-so" irritating), and a... not-so-reasonable one (Die for Our Ship in regards to Arnold/Helga, even though Lila repeatedly states she doesn't "LIKE like" Arnold and isn't a real threat to the ship, regardless of what Helga might think). It doesn't help that she has a tendency to lead Arnold into thinking he may have a chance, only to crush his hopes when he asks if there's anything between them, but that was really a problem with the Romantic Plot Tumor of later seasons as a whole and not just Lila. Lila ends up being Demoted to Extra after Arnold finally gets the hint and stops pursuing her in "Timberly Loves Arnold/Eugene, Eugene!" only appearing as a non-speaking background character in the subsequent episodes and both movies.
• Olga, Helga's "perfect" older sister, was established with some Hidden Depths to her in Becoming the Mask and always feeling like she has to live up to her parents' impossible standards. However, it also made Olga into a Hypocrite who goes out of her way to get her parents' attention. Not to mention, Olga doesn't seem to grasp the extent of Helga's Parental Neglect, nor does she seem to follow through with promises she makes to Helga. For example, when Olga becomes an assistant teacher for Helga's class, Helga pleaded with her to keep any embarrassing stories out. Olga either forgets or deliberately tells an embarrassing story to the class after Stinky fails a test. As a result, Olga became Unintentionally Unsympathetic to the audience.
• Gerald's younger sister Timberly is disliked by most of the fandom due to her being an Annoying Younger Sibling and often getting in the way or ruining Arnold and Gerald's plans. Screwing over Arnold and Gerald twice in "Chocolate Turtles" being a major example.
• Principal Wartz has quite a few haters for acting like a tyrannical douchebag and being far too cruel to both the students and the teachers when giving out punishments. Even Arnold called him out for continuing to extend Harold's suspension despite Harold literally begging for mercy, and in return, Wartz suspends him for two days.
• Similar but to a lesser extent is Coach Wittenburg, who seems to suffer from Aesop Amnesia regarding his hyper-competitive nature in every appearance he makes.

Looney Tunes

Looney Tunes

• Buddy, the studio's main character from 1933-1935. Unusually for a Scrappy, he wasn't that annoying. In fact, he wasn't really anything at all — his problem was that he had absolutely zero personality, which was compounded by the dull, plotless cartoons that he starred in.
  • This was parodied in the Animaniacs "65th Anniversary Special," where it is revealed that Yakko, Wakko, and Dot gained their popularity by showing up in all of Buddy's cartoons and smashing him with a wooden mallet. He later turns out to be the antagonist of the segment, attempting to assassinate the Warners with a bomb only to be Hoist by His Own Petard, which was ironic, seeing as they were in the middle of praising him for helping launch their career.
• The series introduced a whole army of Scrappies in the late 1960s when the original creative staff was dumped and Alex Lovy took over the studio. In a desperate attempt to stay in the game, Lovy created some new characters to supplant the classic line-up, and we were treated to such memorable characters as Cool Cat, Merlin the Magic Mouse, and Bunny and Claude. The new characters proved unimaginative, unfunny and unmemorable, and it was soon game over for the original Looney Tunes series. One "Cool Cat" cartoon even went to the trouble to introduce "Spooky", a seriously dull ghost character, with a mention in the opening titles. A case of hitching your wagon to a sinking ship there. By this point the few original characters still present in the shorts were considered Scrappies as well. Daffy and Speedy in particular due to personality changes (especially Daffy, whose Jerkass behavior was flanderized to the point that he whipped mice for starving on his property) and a questionable team-up of the two, though granted outside this era they are Ensemble Dark Horses more than anything else.
• Gabby Goat, Porky's rude and ill-tempered sidekick in the 1930s. He was intended as a foil to the shy, easygoing Porky, but this did not work out as well as the creators had hoped, as audiences found him more obnoxious than funny. This led to him being Put on a Bus after appearing in only three cartoons, and didn't appear in Looney Tunes shows again until Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production in 2018, 80 years after his final appearance in the original shorts, though he was significantly reworked to be a Deadpan Snarker, which made him more tolerable.
• Henery Hawk from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, due to being a Bratty Half-Pint, and it doesn't help his case that he was the primary influence for the Trope Namer. Although he has his fans as well.
• Sylvester Jr. is this to many fans who find him an annoying brat and being from the fan unfavorite Hippety Hopper shorts, hence why he is rarely used in modern incarnations.
• Tiny Toon Adventures:
  • Elmyra, especially after Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain. Before she became a Creator's Pet, though, she was pretty well-liked. It was only after they started shoehorning her into everything that everyone started hating her. And after a certain short involving her and Fifi LaFume. It's particularly bad enough that ever since the reboot of Animaniacs the Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain series has been completely retconned out of existence and her character was absent for the first season of Tiny Toons Looniversity outside of the theme song.
  • Sweetie is also hated for being a Jerkass who torments Furball and for being a bit of a Karma Houdini. It is telling that Tiny Toons Looniversity completely revamped her character into a Bruiser with a Soft Center, to much better reception.
• The Spinoff Babies adaptation Baby Looney Tunes has its version of Melissa and Petunia; the former is disliked for being a Bratty Half-Pint, the latter for being a Flat Character, and both are disliked for the fact that they were suddenly added to the cast halfway through the first season.

My Little Pony

My Little Pony

• My Little Pony 'n Friends: Molly and Danny from the original series aren't exceptionally liked by the fanbase, seen as Annoying Younger Siblings to Megan who weren't needed since Megan was good enough.
• My Little Pony Tales: Ace is the most hated character for not only treating girls like crap and using them for his own purposes (only made worse by the fact that the show is aimed for girls) but for also being a Jerkass in general. Not helped is he's the only main character to not get a proper focus episode ("Just for Kicks" is a Starlight episode).
• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Snips and Snails gained a lot of ire early on for being dopey obnoxious Karma Houdinis in their debut episode, where they got rewarded for their stupidity while Designated Villain Trixie Lulamoon got punished too harshly. By the second and third seasons, their appearances were limited enough that their Scrappy status dwindled, and their roles in episodes like "Magic Duel" (wherein they get humiliated over the course of the episode by Trixie) were to those episodes' benefit. Snails at least gained some love from his portrayal in "Buckball Season", which finally gave him some characterization outside of an obnoxious moron. Too bad for both Snips and Snails that they still had a long way to go before they could be considered Rescued from the Scrappy Heap, but being Out of Focus beyond one or two episodes meant that they ended the series without much development and without ever escaping their Scrappy status.
• Equestria Girls:
  • Flash Sentry was hated from announcement as a Love Interest for Twilight Sparkle out of Die for Our Ship and the parent series avoiding unnecessary romance. In the film proper him being a Flat Character with no meaningful plot contributions (His being Sunset Shimmer's ex-boyfriend has no bearing on either. The sub-plot of him providing evidence exonerating Twilight was so brief and tacked-on it could have been cut without changing anything) or reason for Twilight to immediately crush on him despite never showing any romantic inclinations for anyone prior did no favors. Tellingly is as the Equestria Girls series Grew the Beard, rather than fix him like Sunset, they made Flash a Butt-Monkey over and sunk his romance with Twilight while reducing his prominence. While this did improve Flash's popularity by making some fans fell bad for him and triggered his Character Development into a good-natured goofball at peace with not being a love interest by the digital shorts, it was too late/not enough to make his hate fully disappear.
  • Juniper Montage from Mirror Magic lost her likable traits from the prior Movie Magic short. Mirror Magic has her grab hold of the Villain Ball with both hands, dropping her Bitch in Sheep's Clothing attitude and just becoming a straight Jerkass. Most of her cruelty happens before the magical corruption that was supposed to keep her sympathetic, so she doesn't have the excuse of being Drunk on the Dark Side. She also abruptly incapacitates the heroes so the controversial Starlight Glimmer can save the day alone. Also, Juniper's One-Winged Angel form was considered so tacky and non-threatening that the creators of Equestria Girls made sure to say that the next installment wouldn't have such a transformation. Juniper's better received in the Novelization, where she shows more remorse and her briefly mentioned Friendless Background is expanded upon to give her a Freudian Excuse, but it ultimately wasn't enough to save Juniper from her fate as a Scrappy.
  • Vignette Valencia from Rollercoaster of Friendship is seen as the weakest villain and redemption in the Equestria Girls franchise, lacking the Freudian Excuse or remorse that's defended in the other controversial redemptions as well as lacking memorability, entertaining traits or credibility as a threat due to her poorly thought-out plan. Her shallow and annoying personality, questionable fashion sense, and Mean Boss tendencies even before being Drunk on the Dark Side didn't help. Season 2 of the shorts put her in a better light but was seen as too little too late and would have been better spent on returning more popular characters.

Scooby-Doo

Scooby-Doo

• The Trope Namer 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; 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 Genre Shift he precipitated — the show soon switched to a Three Shorts format, relegated Fred and Velma to guest appearances and dropped Daphne entirely, and introduced real monsters instead of the series' standard "Scooby-Doo" Hoax.^note That last complaint might seem odd to modern fans, being used to the gang (and those like them) facing off against real supernatural threats, but back then it was not accepted among the fanbase, and it wouldn't be until 1998's Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island. 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 The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries slowly moved back to two shorts, reintroduced Daphne, and made the monsters fake again (or at least 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 The Summation. 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 — 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 Base-Breaking Character 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.
• In the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Buck Masters AKA the "Indian Witch Doctor" is possibly the most reviled villain, as not only is his costume a racist Native American caricature but he just isn't at all even the least bit intimidating. Furthermore, his motivation for wanting to win a dog show is absurdly petty, and the "Native American" ghost theme doesn't tie into dognapping and just comes off as unnecessary racism. Tellingly, he's rarely been referenced compared to other foes and is replaced in the 2022 Scoob version of the theme song by the Space Kook.
• Scrappy was outdone by Scooby-Dum, Scooby-Doo's inbred hillbilly cousin. Although he lasted only four episodes, he was absolutely painful to watch. He was so moronic that he'd make Scrappy, Scooby, and Shaggy all look intelligent by comparison. Scooby would literally have to drag him over to fairly obvious hiding spots and lead him away from danger on chases — basically, he was Too Dumb to Live.
• The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo had Flim-Flam, an Ethnic Scrappy 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 Rescued from the Scrappy Heap.) Flim-Flam was so poorly thought of that in Mystery Incorporated, Daphne mentions that he was imprisoned for his Con Artist antics. Surprisingly, when Warner Bros. decided to finally finish that series with Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost, Flim-Flam got a second chance, having gotten an Age Lift; this, combined with a change in personality, managed to rescue him from Scrappy status for some.
• Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! had Robi, the automated butler to the now-wealthy Shaggy and Scooby living in their missing rich uncle's mansion and fighting an evil supervillain. Think of Robi as Inspector Gadget with the idiocy and annoyance cranked up a notch, and acting as a butler instead of a crimefighter. He even randomly gives out safety tips like Gadget does, but early on or in the middle of an episode (instead of saving them for the end), and sometimes does gags that are completely random and not relevant to the plot. Worse yet, Robi actually accompanies Shaggy and Scooby on some missions, where he does all of his usual annoying schtick.
  Robi: (randomly mending and speaking in a stereotypical Jewish accent) Shaggy! You vant I should hem your trousers?
• Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island, already poorly received, introduces Alan Smithee, an obnoxious slimeball director trying to make a movie based on the legend of Moonscar Island from the first Zombie Island film. Not only does Smithee's presence turn a followup to one of the most acclaimed Scooby stories into just another gimmicky DTV schlockfest where the danger and monsters are fake, but Mystery Inc is actually on-board with his movie despite how Smithee initially filmed them without permission and is exploiting a place where hundreds to thousands of people were horribly murdered. Worst of all, he finds Moonscar's treasure and walks away rich.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987):
  • We have Vernon, a whiny load who existed to make April look better.
  • Also Burne, April's boss for being a massively unsympathetic jerkass. Made worse by the fact that he was Put on a Bus by the time he could finally be useful to the plot.
  • Carter from the same season, for blatant Positive Discrimination and outshining the turtles. Carter has a few fans, but most of them agree that he doesn't really belong on a show like TMNT.
  • Howie, a character who was so hated, he was written out after just two episodes.
  • Zack for being a Kid-Appeal Character in a show that clearly didn't need one.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003): While the Fast Forward season was maligned for many reasons, a substantial amount of the blame is still heaped upon Cody Jones, the descendent of Casey Jones and April O'Neil. While insofar as that he doesn't sound too bad on paper, in practice he was basically The Load added to the existing team dynamic of the turtles and Splinter that had been successful as it was for two decades of stories, with most of the Fast Forward episodes based around him being a turtles fanboy and his uncle conspiring against him just because of a corporate grudge. Though later in the season he did finally become competent and did win some fans, but other people started having the opposite complaints- Cody became the one who ended up saving the day more often than not (especially in "Day of Awakening") which got him labelled as a Creator's Pet to some extent.
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012):
  • Timothy, aka "The Pulverizer" is hated for being an obnoxious fanboy who acts tougher than he is and generally falls under Too Dumb to Live.
  • Bigfoot and The Finger feel out of place, are full of gross-out humor that is just unenjoyable, especially in comparison to the show's more tasteful takes on gross-out, and star in an episode that the majority of the fandom has brushed under the rug.

Total Drama

Total Drama

• While Ezekiel himself is considered a Base-Breaking Character and The Woobie due to his underutilisation and subsequent feralisation, said feral transformation in World Tour is universally hated for derailing his character into a Gollum ripoff.
• Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race:
  • The Adversity Twins, Mickey and Jay, who are virtually the same character, are extremely unpopular due to being complete clones of Cameron (right down to their designs being recolors of his original design), minus anything that made him likable (like his intellect or his ability to manipulate stronger competitors). Their forced woobie status which tries to make viewers feel sorry for them, and the initial belief that they would follow the underdog route, further added to their unpopularity.
• Beth in the original series was mostly considered one of the more boring first-generation contestants, while her counterpart in the spinoff series Total DramaRama is noticeably despised by most. Of all the characters who've undergone jerkiness that's exclusive to this series, hers is by far the most noticeable as she's become a raging narcissist who commits uncaring actions for her own benefit and rarely (if ever) suffers any consequences for them. Not helped is how she's one of the most focused-on characters in the series, with most of the episodes where she's the main character doing nothing except highlighting how nasty she is. What also doesn't help her is her Adaptation Personality Change of being more gross than her original series counterpart and is often used for Toilet Humor.

Other animated series

• 6teen has Serena, Wyatt’s girlfriend for a time. Ask any fan of the series and their response will usually be it’s because she’s a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing or for her infamous moment of breaking up with Wyatt via Dumped via Text Message.
• 101 Dalmatians: The Series
  • If you talk to any fan, one character they will all agree on hating is Lieutenant Pug. He is a villain that the pups are capable of physically speaking with, acting like that certain hated teacher. This has the potential for comedy, but because Lt. Pug is handled so poorly, he doesn't push the viewers' right buttons and everyone basically hates him for the wrong reasons—his loud voice and pushy mannerisms make him seem like a military school commander mixed with the most annoying trolls people meet on an Internet message board. He is just not likable, he is not funny, hell he's not even appealing at all. When you factor in he just doesn't add anything to the show that makes viewers hate him more.
  • Swamp Rat qualifies for this also because of how he effectively Took a Level in Jerkass in practically every appearance he was in, though he at least comes off as more watchable than Pug.
• 101 Dalmatian Street:
  • Big Fee gets a lot of disdain from fans for being arguably the least sympathetic member of the Canal Crew, due to her shameless Gasshole tendencies and greedy exploitation of Dolly in "Don't Push Your Luck."
  • The Canal Crew's other rodent, Sid Squirrel, got similar hate earlier on due to manipulating Dolly into helping him steal nuts in "May Contain Nuts." However, his hate began to die down once Big Fee was proven to be an even bigger jerk than him in "Don't Push Your Luck."
  • While Bessie, who comes from A Summer to Remember is meant to be hated, the fact that she gets away with attempting murder - combined with the fact that she isn't well written compared to Clarissa and Hunter - have made her near universally despised.
• Action League NOW!: Quarky seems to be this. The creators took notice and she never appeared after season two.
• Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers had a couple.
  • First was Buzzwang, a Kid-Appeal Character android who desperately wanted to be a Ranger, but was just a clueless idiot and kept getting into stupid situations; that he seemed to be obviously patterned after C-3P0 from Star Wars didn't help (although even at his worst Buzzwang wasn't half as annoying as some of the other characters listed here). At a GR marathon with story editor/writer Chris Rowley, he heckled the screen.
    Rowley: Oh, Buzzwang. We wanted to kill him so badly.
    Everyone else in the theater: So did we!
  • Another were the Kiwi Kids. Take Spridle from Speed Racer and multiply by three. It didn't help that Corrine Orr was using variants of her Spridle voice for all three, either.
• The Adventures of Puss in Boots: Toby. With how his Lethally Stupid actions usually cause a lot of problems to Puss, lots of Unwanted Assistance moments as often he will either be Innocently Insensitive or harm Puss, being Too Dumb to Live, generally very annoying whenever he is on screen, and being a clear Creator's Pet. He is pretty much a Pig version of Jar Jar.
• American Dad!:
  • Francine's parents. They often come over to the Smith household uninvited, and repay Stan by belittling him, using his property without permission, and enforcing their rules despite being under his roof, with all of this meant to be swept aside and forgiven just because Francine's biological parents are worse.
  • Fung Wah from "American Fung", for whom the plot repeatedly stopped just to obnoxiously gush over, leaving a Bizarro Episode in his wake.
• American Dragon: Jake Long: Huntsboys #88 and #89. Veered into Creator's Pet territory after the Huntsmen as a whole were killed off, but the two continued to appear anyway. Though they quit being Huntsmen at the last minute and weren't real Huntsmen in the first place.
• The Animals of Farthing Wood:
  • Hurkel as well, for being Stupid Good and a Replacement Scrappy for Badger.
  • Weasel was always a Base-Breaking Character, but she firmly became this in season 3, where she acts even worse, teaches her kids to disrespect their father while doing it herself, has an absurd amount of focus, and is never called out on anything, instead getting a hero's welcome upon returning.
• Animaniacs:
  • The Hip Hippos. They are a pair of very urbane well... hippos speaking with rather obnoxious faux-Barcelona accents (does not help they tend to talk in nearly histrionic tones). Their main shtick is basically "Hippos live upper-class life, clueless zoologist tries to trick them into moving back to the wild". Only a few shorts that starred them were made before the production team realized how unpopular they were and relegated them to side characters.
  • Katie Ka-Boom only had a few shorts of her ever made before the writers realizing she lacked potential as a character. The few shorts featuring Katie are so formulaic that they're almost indistinguishable — Katie undergoes a Rage Breaking Point over some minor problem as a teenager, turns into some sort of monster, then literally creates an explosion to cause devastation to the world around her. Much like the Hip Hippos, Katie Ka-Boom was quickly relegated to a side character after only a few appearances.
  • The 2020 reboot has an In-Universe example: Chicken Boo. Due to being the least-liked character of the original show ^note Supposedly. Out of universe, his reception with fans was fairly average with most criticism just being his segment was a one-note joke, but otherwise being tolerable and mostly just being a quick buffer in between segments. So this comment might just be the writers' bias. it was contractually stated that Chicken Boo would not appear in the reboot under any circumstances. So in the episode "Good Warner Hunting", he took up the disguise of Egomaniac Hunter Dr. Walter Grubb and personally hunted and bagged every other supporting character in the show, reasoning that if he couldn't be on the show, nobody could. Fortunately, the Warners managed to stop his scheme, and all of his captive trophies escape to get their revenge on Boo.
  • Mindy's parents also count for not only their mistreatment of Buttons but also because of their Parental Neglect in regards to their daughter who is no more than a toddler in age. Their constant inattentiveness is what causes every single incident to unfold because they can't be assed to look after their daughter to make sure she didn't run off after every little thing that catches her eye and then they have the audacity to blame Buttons for minor infractions. It's hardly a surprise that Mindy refers to her parents as "Lady" and "Mr. Man" as though they were complete strangers.
• Archer:
  • TV's Michael Gray, where he is portrayed as a flamboyant, irritating Manchild.
  • Zara Kahn, introduced in the final season, has caught massive heat from fans for not being portrayed as having many flaws, and being too similar to Lana, without any of the humor or charm.
• As Told by Ginger: Dodie is a part of the Power Trio but fans absolutely hate her. She's gossipy, obsessed with Ginger, easily jealous, and has done many backstabbing and generally inappropriate things over the series. At least Miranda is an antagonist, Dodie is treated like a good character yet comes off more like a Token Evil Teammate. It got worse as time went on, as fans think she became a mini version of her mother.
• Atomic Betty: A lot of people dislike (and even flat-out despise) Penelope for a good reason. Her attitude half the time and especially on season three is the reason many nearly stopped watching the show.
• Batman: The Animated Series: Many of the one-shot villains created for the show get this from fans, often due to having little depth and ridiculous gimmicks (even by Batman villain standards) that made it difficult to take them seriously (Boss Biggis talks with his mouth full, Sewer King resides in a sewer with alligators as bodyguards). Several fans hate Red Claw in particular simply because of her offensively bad Russian accent. Admittedly, though, others such as Lock-Up and, most famously, Harley Quinn were popular enough that they were later added to the mainstream DC Comics canon.
• Batman Beyond: Not a whole lot of fans liked Matt McGinnis on the show, as his appearances often had him just acting like a typical Annoying Younger Sibling Bratty Half-Pint without offering anything else.
• Batman: The Brave and the Bold acknowledged Bat-Mite's status, by having Batman be constantly annoyed by him. Brave and the Bold also rescued him from the heap by turning him into a Fourth-Wall Observer who goes to comic conventions and references the existence of multiple Batman cartoons.
  • In the Grand Finale, Bat-Mite is messing with the show in an attempt to get it cancelled. He deliberately adds in an annoying character the fans will hate. At first it appears to be Ace the Bat-Hound, but it turns out to be his nephew Punchy, an obvious Scrappy expy.
• The Batman:
  • Donnie/Prank is generally considered to be a pretty pointless and annoying character, who Harley Quinn should have taken the place of. Thankfully she does end up appearing.
  • Chief Rojas is practically a Hate Sink as he has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever as he's just a self-righteous Fat Bastard. Thankfully, Commissioner Gordon came into the picture.
  • Cluemaster tends to be considered one of the worst of the series' villains due to his obnoxious Psychopathic Manchild personality, lame motivation (revenge over losing a game show), and goofy design.
• Beetlejuice:
  • Claire Brewster for being an Alpha Bitch and always insulting Lydia and her friends. Luckily for the viewers, karma mostly bites her in the ass.
  • Prince Vince, with his overly dramatic tendencies, is seen this way by a portion of the viewers; not many fans care for Beetlejuice's sickeningly sweet brother Donny, either. However, neither of them appear in the show nearly as much as Claire, so their scrappy status is less pronounced.
• Even the more divisive characters of Bob's Burgers have many fans, and of course there are the characters who are meant to be hated (like Jimmy Pesto), but one character stands out as truly despised—Chuck Charles, who constantly bullies Bob and is just an overall unpleasant character. While he's clearly meant to be a Hate Sink, what pushes him into scrappy territory is the fact that his dickish nature goes largely unpunished (particularly in the infamous "Family Fracas", where he successfully cheats the Belchers off his show), and even the other Hate Sink characters (like Jimmy Pesto or Hugo) are funny in how they're absolute assholes—Chuck Charles can hardly say the same. Let's just say that people aren't exactly mourning the fact that he hasn't appeared since Season 5.
• Bonkers: The Grapevine from the Lucky Piquel episodes. All they ever do is insult the police and make really lame jokes.
• The Brak Show: Clarence. He was a replacement for Sisto in Season 2, and spent most of his time being annoying and taking up large chunks of the plot doing nothing. However, he did get better in the Grand Finale.
• Brickleberry:
  • Connie has got some hate for being too crude, obnoxious, and for having too much Les Yay moments with Ethel. The fat jokes that involved her are considered to be too over the top and gross and it can be argued that she is the lesbian equivalent of an Ethnic Scrappy.
  • Denzel as his personality and traits involved him being flanderized into a pot-smoking maniac who constantly has sex with old ladies. The jokes that generated around this quickly became tasteless.
  • Bobby Possumcods is also a hated character for his flanderized perversion towards animals.
• Captain N: The Game Master: While many fans are unhappy with the personality and appearance changes made to the title character's supporting cast, they also tend to hate...
  • Game Boy, a mid-series addition to the team who rarely did anything useful. It didn't help that Game Boy was introduced in the most illogical way possible. Princess Lana's dad, who is trapped in another dimension, sends Game Boy to them via a warp portal that only opens once per decade. He thinks Game Boy will be able to help them in the war against Mother Brain... but by doing so, the king gives up his own chance to go through the portal, despite the fact that his return would have probably ended the war.
  • Mega Man, for having an extremely high-pitched, raspy voice and mega-grating Verbal Tic, and the fact that he was green instead of blue, despite being nicknamed the Blue Bomber. This also applies to most of the Robot Masters, if nothing else for their ridiculous character designs, especially Cut Man, who will haunt your nightmares.
  • Pit (who for some reason is called "Kid Icarus" in this show), for similar reasons to Mega Man: he has a whiny, high-pitched voice and verbalus tic-us, plus a tendency to screw up badly.
• Care Bears (1980s): Not only does Shreeky emit a long, loud ear-grating scream at least twice every episode she's in, her being No-Heart's niece destroys much of the mystery behind him and reduces him to a more comical figure.
• The Casagrandes: Many viewers of the show really, REALLY hate Sergio for being an unrepentant Jerkass who causes conflict in nearly every episode, especially towards Bobby. Not to mention he gets shoehorned in so often that Carlitos and Lalo feel underutilized compared to him.
• Centaurworld has an In-Universe version with Wammawink. When the group encounters the birdtaurs in the episode "All Herd All the Terd", they learn that the birdtaurs have been watching their adventures up to that point from the sky, treating it as a television series. While every other character has developed their own fanbase among the creatures, none of them like Wammawink whatsoever, seeing her as incredibly annoying and controlling. Zulius is even able to convince them to help in the upcoming war by promising (among other things) that Wammawink will be "reduced to a very minor character".
• Challenge of the GoBots: 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.
  • In addition, unlike his Transformers counterpart Bumblebee, Scooter was cowardly and his first response to most bad situations was to gulp in fear. Heck, in the very first episode Leader 1 declares that he wants to launch a full scale assault to finish the Renegades off once and for all, and Scooter's reaction is to gulp and ask if he isn't being too hasty! You could argue he recognises his lack of combat skill or ability, but Bumblebee wasn't afraid to risk his life if it would help the Autobots out, despite his diminutive size.
  • The Rock Lords in general tend to get a ton of mockery. The whole idea of robots that turn into rocks is just so stupid-sounding to most people that they never really had a chance.
• Chowder:
  • Mr. Fugu is by and large the most hated character amongst the fanbase, due to not only being an Entitled Bastard and a Gasshole responsible for some of the show's worst instances of Nausea Fuel, but also for being a Karma Houdini who never faces comeuppance for his obnoxious behavior. The only upside about him to fans is that he's usually accompanied by his valet, Foie Gras, who's voiced by legendary actor George Takei, but that's more of a compliment to Foie Gras than to Mr. Fugu himself.
  • Reuben is another character that the fanbase can't stand. Aside from being voiced by Paul Reubens, best known as Pee-wee Herman, there's nothing about his character that's likable, with him always trying to find ways to make Mung Daal's life miserable, and being extremely lecherous towards Ms. Endive. Despite all of his wrongdoings, he's also a Karma Houdini who almost never gets punished for his selfish behavior, causing fans to dread any episode where Reuben is prominently featured.
• Codename: Kids Next Door: You'll find very few fans who enjoy Lizzie (especially shippers). Even without taking shippers into account, she is still treated like one of the heroes even though she brainwashes Numbuh 1 and makes him attack his friends all because they were making fun of them on their date and Numbuh 1 tried to save face (And this was her first appearance no less). Yet, she is Easily Forgiven by Numbuh 1. Even when she ends up taking a level in kindness in later appearances, she is still seen by fans as a bossy, overbearing shrew who should have been dumped far earlier in the show and whose appearances are viewed as taking away screentime from better-liked operatives or characters. It says a lot that a Fandom-Specific Plot, even in nonshipping stories, is that Numbuh 1 dumps her and gets together with someone else.
• Here's a clever In-Universe example: In the Cow and Chicken episode "Squirt the Daisies", in one of the virtual reality games that Chicken plays when the Red Guy invites him over to play some, he finds a turtle who constantly tells him the objective of the game to be so annoying that he reacts, "How's about, 'Kick da turtle! Kick da turtle!'"
• D'Myna Leagues: You'll be hard-pressed to find fans of the Mungo brothers, due to them being obnoxious joke characters that often mess up and fail during games.
• Danger Mouse: Quark is generally disliked by most fans, who find him to be rather bland and unfunny.
• Danger Rangers: Fallbot's antics can grate on some viewers' nerves. There doesn't seem to be much point to him being on the team other than showing viewers "what not to do", since his clumsiness often causes more harm than good.
• Daria is a rather interesting case. Due to Ship-to-Ship Combat, Tom wound up going from being one of the most loved characters in the series to the most hated. But in later years, Tom has actually been given a much nicer treatment... since you can't swing a cat without hitting a couple Tom-bashing fanfics or fanfics where Tom's existence is flat-out denied in favour of Daria x Jane or even weirder pairings like Daria x Mr. DeMartino.
• Detentionaire: Brad Von Chillstein. While him getting in the way of Lee and Tina's romance is the whole point of his character, his massive ego and Wrong Genre Savvy attitude get on the nerves of many fans.
• Dog City:
  • Rosie's little niece Dot who virtually does nothing but constantly ask "Why?".^note You'd think being voiced by Tara Strong would alleviate this, but no.
  • Eddie is also rather disliked by fans due to how obnoxious he is. If it's not the fact that he often gets Ace in trouble, then it's the constant "It's a well-known fact..." comments he makes. And this isn't even counting the episode where he was deliberately annoying.
• Doug: Many fans didn't care for Ms. Newberry, the substitute teacher from "Doug's New Teacher" given her refusing to allow Doug a fair shake and believing Roger of all people when he told her Doug was a troublemaker. Even worse, when Doug came into the teacher's lounge and earnestly tried to talk to her to convince her that she was mistaken about him and he wished they could get along, what did he receive from her in response? A cold, silent stare.
  • Not helped at all by what immediately follows. At first, we're led to assume that she'll change her mind and realize she's misjudged Doug. But nope, she's still convinced he's a rotten little troublemaker...she just thinks he's a rotten little troublemaker with a Hidden Heart of Gold. Despite ultimately warming up to him, the fact that she still thinks Doug's bad and Roger's good ends up cementing her as an irredeemably Horrible Judge of Character to the point that even Doug decides that there's no possible way to get her to see reason. The only consolation is that Roger gets some karmic retribution in the end with Ms. Newberry not being seen in the series again after that.
• Drawn Together:
  • Captain Hero. While some viewers regard him as funny, a majority of fans dislike him for many of his traits such as his stupidity, his constant acts of having sex with dead bodies, and the fact that the creators have decided to make him their Creator's Pet and have him basically become the main character of the show, having him take up tons of episodes at the expense of other characters like Ling-Ling, Toot, and Wooldoor. He is also hated for being a Karma Houdini as he was shown to get away with things like destroying his own home planet of Zebulon, killing or wounding everyone in a charity AIDS walk, and kidnapping the daughter of a Greek immigrant couple while treating her like a goat after terrorizing her family. In fact, Hero has received punishment for his actions in only one episode, which featured him getting arrested for possessing an obscene photo of his 12-year-old self.
  • Spanky Ham as he is disliked for his very disgusting toilet humor and Jerkass behavior. While creators have toned down his jerkassery after season one, his gross potty humor still remained.
  • Princess Clara degraded herself into being a scrappy as well as she was originally portrayed as an Innocently Insensitive princess but over the course of the series, she molded herself into a Holier Than Thou woman who was also a huge homophobe, and then in season 3 she turned into an unsympathetic, selfish Jerkass while she apparently didn't have any Freudian Excuse for turning into this.
• The Dreamstone:
  • Spildit is whiny, annoying, bratty, and only seems to have been introduced because they felt they had to. Double Scrappy points for being the 'niece' of one of the main characters.
  • There's also Wildit, who was not part of Mike Jupp's original character designs and was far too good at everything, being the main reason the bad guys lost in the vast majority of episodes she appeared, and thus demoting the Noops to incompetent Tagalong Kids, particularly in the early seasons.
  • The rest of the hero ensemble (particularly Rufus and Amberley) tend to go in and out with fans, largely due to being far more boring and syrupy than the more colourful Urpneys and their occasionally gratuitous treatment towards Sgt. Blob and his goons. For what it's worth the show did try to tone down these problems for the last third or so.
• DuckTales (1987):
  • Bubba the Cave Duck and Tootsie the Triceratops are viewed as unnecessary and unwelcome additions to the primary cast. Their ever-increasing time in the spotlight in later episodes didn't help (Or Bubba's, rather. Tootsie completely disappeared after a few early appearances). This is so bad that Bubba was Put on a Bus shortly after starring in a few episodes.
  • Gandra Dee is not particularly well-liked, mostly due to being a Flat Character and Satellite Love Interest for Fenton - not to mention the hate she gets from Fenton's fans for being insensitive to him.
• The Fairly OddParents!:
  • Sparky, Timmy's fairy dog from Season 9. After his first episode, he became immediately despised for his reckless, irresponsible, clueless, selfish, and downright obnoxious behavior. His addition also violated basic continuity (his previous owners were adults, even though only kids can have fairies) and was considered superfluous as the show already had Cosmo as the Lethally Stupid ditz. He was so unpopular (not only by fans, but by most of the staff and even the Nickelodeon executives) that he suddenly vanished after Season 9 and has not been seen since.
  • Then there's Chloe Carmichael, a Parody Sue type character that was introduced in Season 10 to share Timmy's fairies, who many fans found annoying, and her inclusion would ultimately lead to the show's cancellation in 2017.
• Fangface: Fangpuss was a controversial character in the mold of Scrappy Doo (who happened to debut on TV on the same day yet!).
• Farzar: Sal the Taint is constantly being punched up by the writers as their attempt at a breakout character but most fans just find him annoying and stupid, since his only role in the show is to waste screen time and bring down the plot with his long fourth-wall breaking tangents about how great of a character he is.
• The Flintstones has the Great Gazoo, who was hated by fans for being an annoying reality-warping alien in a series about a modern stone-age family. Outside clashing with the tone of the show, Gazoo came across as smug and condescending to Fred and Barney, referring to them as "dumb-dumbs" and generally making their lives more difficult. His introduction was what many fans considered the show Jumping the Shark and a contributing factor to the show's eventual cancellation.
• Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends:
  • By far the most hated character to ever enter the show was Bendy. He fools Herriman and Frankie into believing and loving him while he does terrible things around the house and ends up getting Bloo, Wilt, Eduardo, and Coco screwed over for it. Bloo, being not very bright, decides to trap Bendy in a situation where they would have to acknowledge that Bendy was guilty of something wrong only to end up screwing himself into destroying most of the house while "Bendy took a cookie." All this seemingly make for a character that is clearly meant to be despised but since he completely got away with it at the end of the episode, his hate ended up getting overblown to the point of becoming a Scrappy. His episode got such a negative reaction from fans that Lauren Faust publicly apologized for writing it. Bendy then never appeared in any subsequent episodes after that.
  • There's also Goofball John McGee, who is hated by a large number of fans because he acted like a Diabolus ex Machina for Frankie.
  • EuroTrish from "Foster’s Goes to Europe" is hated due to being an Ethnic Scrappy, having a very annoying Italian accent, and being an extremely forced attempt at a Woobie.
• Futurama:
  • Mr. Wong. Sexist, stupid, and demeaning to everyone, he's earned a lot of haters who wished he died in Into the Wild Green Yonder. And given that sexism and possessive behavior towards one's children are Chinese stereotypes, he might even qualify as an Ethnic Scrappy.
  • The "Susan" butt boil got a lot of this for various reasons, such as it being an already outdated joke in an already topical-heavy episode, and for just having a really annoying voice.
  • Ndnd, the wife of Lrrr is hated as well as she basically does nothing but nag her husband around and downright abuses him verbally while in one episode, she hits him over the head with a frying pan and kicks him out of their house all because he got her a gift she didn't really like.
  • Yivo, despite being the main antagonist of The Beast with a Billion Backs is not really villainous or evil but shkle is hated for forcing almost everyone in the universe into a relationship with shkler, meaning that shkle forcibly put shkler tentacles into peoples necks and was revealed to be "mating" with those people through those tentacles. Yivo was technically raping these people, yet shkle got away with all that and was Easily Forgiven for it despite how serious shkler crimes were. Shkle was also an Invincible Villain due to being entirely composed of electromatter, only being harmed by Bender's robot army lining weapons with his "skin" after shkle was forgiven by shkler victims. To top off the whole thing, while shkler victims were universally forgiving of shkler, shkle can't find it in shklerself to forgive them when one of them breaks a rule shkle set of no outside contact, which just makes shkler look even worse, with even more parallels to romantic abuse.
• Glitch Techs: Mike Simms is disliked by many people. When first mentioned by name, he's implied to be a bully toward Ridley. When he actually appears, he's a Bratty Half-Pint who doesn't just top Miko's score at the arcade, he goes out of his way to top it multiple times to erase her from the scoreboard entirely. When confronted, he's rude and insulting the entire time.
• God, the Devil and Bob: Megan. Almost every word out of her mouth is a whine or complaint about something and she treats her mother like crap.
• Godzooky from Hanna-Barbera's The Godzilla Power Hour.
  • And even Godzooky himself is nothing compared to the human characters in the series. Bland, one-dimensional characters whose only purposes are to either A.) Get attacked/captured by the Monster of the Week and/or B.) Summon Godzilla to solve all of their problems for them. Say what you will about Godzooky. At least he actually does something other than say "Oh, no! (Insert monster here) is destroying the city/attacking the Tagalong Kid! We must summon Godzilla!"
  • The webcomic Sluggy Freelance has Torg mention this once in quasi-TVTropeish terms, resulting in the without knowing the context completely brain-damaged-sounding sentence "Godzookie [sic] is the Scrappy-Doo of Godzilla."
• High Guardian Spice: The elder of the Triad is often singled out for being too cantankerous for her quips to be seen as funny, and a lot of her dialogue involves interjecting the Triad's speech just to snark. Combined with repeatedly kvetching about the student body, people immediately tire of her every time she makes a brief appearance.
• Hilda: Erik Ahlberg is very unpopular with fans due to his Glory Hound tendencies, lack of competency, and being a massive Jerkass to everyone, including his partners. While he's intended to be an Hate Sink, what pushes him into this territory for many is that he almost never faces any consequences for his actions or behavior (outside of "The Old Bells of Trolberg", in which a bell falls on him), with the end of The Mountain King having him be rewarded with a medal of honor for his actions, much to the irritation of fans, who felt he should've been punished instead. Needless to say, fans are glad he resigned at the end of the movie, expressing hope that he never appears again.
• Horrid Henry:
  • 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.
  • Moody Margaret also qualifies to those who don't consider her a Base-Breaking Character. Though her behaviour in the earlier series was somewhat justified when it came to Henry, she became noticeably viler in later series as she constantly treats her friends badly and will bully those around her, even when she's unprovoked just because she can and usually gets away with it. Her tendency to act like an ungrateful brat towards her parents who constantly spoil her also doesn't help.
  • Nasty Nicola. Just look at the comments on her profile page on the show’s wiki.
• In House of Mouse, Shelby Turtle is seen as an annoying little hellion and Karma Houdini who has gotten away with tormenting both Donald and Mickey, in both the wraparounds and the Mouse Works shorts. The fact that he shares some of the same traits as Scrappy-Doo himself does not help matters, nor does his laugh, which some perceive as annoying. His mother is hated as well because she never realizes how much trouble her son causes them, yells at them really loud whenever they mess up, and whenever they do manage to get the job done, she tells them she will have them babysit her son again on a later day.
• Inspector Gadget had Corporal Capeman, who was added in the second season as part of an attempt to make it more different from the first season, as well as an obviously shameless attempt to boost low ratings. He was an extremely idiotic superhero wanna-be that looked like a nerd (complete with oversized eyeglasses) and idolized Inspector Gadget (despite Gadget referring to Capeman as "Capman"). As a result, Gadget soon became Capeman's mentor. But Capeman, unfortunately, was stupider than Gadget, who was also an idiot himself. Capeman didn't appear in all the episodes during this season though, which lead to some rather confusing continuity.
• Buttons from Iron Kid has all the trappings of Scrappydom, being an annoying talking robot dog intended for comic relief, and does very little to help the heroes whatsoever.
• Jackie Chan Adventures:
  • Paco was basically all of Jade Chan's trouble-causing tendencies, none of her plucky, awesome, or ingenious ones, had a few extra pints of annoying fanboy for good measure, and couldn't even hold a consistent accent. There's a reason the fandom prefers Jade to date Hsi Wu, a homicidal bat demon wizard.
  • Of the seasons' big bads, Daolon Wong is generally considered the weakest. Initially built up as an all powerful evil sorcerer who had beaten Uncle's old teacher, he quickly proves to be little more than an annoyance as he is easily bested by Uncle nearly every time they fight each other. And unlike the seasons' other villains, he never makes any significant gains in his plans (he had managed to steal only two of the twelve talisman's powers, and even then never achieves any real victory over the heroes). In fact, he is superseded by the much more threatening Shendu as the main villain in the season's Grand Finale, having by that point become little more than a Big Bad Wannabe.
  • The Ice Crew was not well-received by viewers, especially when they replaced Finn, Ratso, and Chow in the last season. Ice probably gets it the worst because of the way he talks.
• Babu from Jeannie. A man-boy of the first order, his magic ALWAYS causes disaster and in one particularly cringe-worthy episode, he runs away after getting chewed out by the other characters for messing things up. This isn't some sulk on a park bench, he literally grabs a teddy bear, raids the fridge, and scampers off somewhere until the other characters apologize.
• Jem:
  • A lot of people don't like Ba Nee due to being the resident Damsel Scrappy, having much more screen time over other, more interesting Starlight Girls such as Krissie and Deidre and her yearning for her father eventually coming off as Wangst.
  • Rapture doesn't really have much of a role outside of being the Stingers' bassist and being a manipulative bitch to virtually everyone she encounters just for the sake of it.
  • A lot of people hate Jetta for being a complete witch to fan-favorite Stormer, who was the one to get her in the band to begin with, and to a lesser extent, how she treats Roxy.
• The 1985 syndicated revival of The Jetsons introduced spring-legged alien Orbitty in the first episode. The episodes where he plays an important role in the plot can be counted on one hand, and he is largely a background annoyance for the rest of the season. Even the animators thought Orbitty was a pointless addition; John Kricfalusi, who worked as a layout supervisor on several episodes, has gone on record as having tried to work in scenes where Orbitty was on the receiving end of slapstick abuse (such as being smacked around by an automatic golf putter) to vent his frustration. Hanna-Barbera tacitly acknowledged their mistake by unceremoniously dropping the character for the 1987 episodes and Jetsons: The Movie.
• Few Johnny Test fans have anything but hatred for Johnny's dad Hugh, for being an extremely Lawful Stupid authoritarian to his family; even the writers don't seem to like him a lot.
• Kaeloo: Pretty, the group Alpha Bitch, is widely despised by the fans for her cruel, bullying nature, constant mockery of everyone else, and superior attitude. Unlike Mr. Cat (who has most of these traits but is still adored by the fandom), she has never actually shown signs of caring for the rest of the cast (she rejoices when they are presumed dead in one episode), and the way she treats her sister is awful. In season 5, the character was completely rewritten with a nicer personality that was explained in-universe as offscreen character development. After this, the fandom continued to hate her for becoming overly prefect.
• Kid vs. Kat:
  • Millie Burtonburger is widely hated due to her Bratty Half-Pint scream.
  • Old Lady Munson is easily the worst character in the entire series as she blames Coop for every thing he didn't and never believing in Mr. Kat, locks Fiona (her great great great nice) in her house and also she hates all Burtonburgers with Millie Burtonburger being the exception of this all complete with a very annoying Unstoppable Rage voice. As if wasn't enough, there's even a Fan Disservice moment in "Bringin The Heat" where she wears a yellow leopard mini bikini which scares Burt and his friends in a gross manner during his 8th birthday.
• Kim Possible: Prince Wally from the episode "Royal Pain" is considered one of the most obnoxious and unlikable characters the series ever had, with many viewers rooting for the Knights of Rodeghan to ax him off. This might be the reason he was never utilized again following his episode.
• A Kind of Magic:
  • Tom because he whines too much for his own good about wanting to be normal and fit in.
  • Cindy, without the Spotlight-Stealing Squad factor - Just a stereotypically written character who clearly does nothing for this show, but provide the audience cynical enough reasons to complain about teen portrayal in animation in general.
• King of the Hill:
  • Lucky is seen as a Scrappy by a large segment of the show's fandom. A stereotypical "redneck" character, he contributes practically nothing to the plot except as a love interest to Luanne which ALSO caused the ire of fans since it detracted from her desire to get away from being a stereotypical "hillbilly" like the rest of her family. About his only redeeming traits are that he genuinely cares for his friends and family and that he has an "honor code" (IE: He refuses to marry Luanne until he's graduated from high school).
  • Kahn and Minh Souphanousinphone both fall here. While they just barely avoid being walking Asian stereotypes, they are both obnoxious Jerkasses who take utter pleasure in being dicks towards their neighbors, including referring to them as "Rednecks" in a derogatory sense. While they do have some redeeming qualities (such as genuinely caring for their daughter Connie), said good aspects of them are overshadowed by their flaws. One episode in the series had Kahn not only sexually harass Hank (all because Hank could see Kahn through Kahn's bathroom window), but also he and Mihn would break into Hank's house, raid the fridge, mess with the furniture, and it's implied they would have sex there as well all the while mocking Hank and Peggy. There's being a jerk, and then there's blatantly breaking the law just for the sick amusement of it.
• Kulipari: An Army of Frogs:
  • Gee is considered to be by fans as an unsuccessful attempt at making a Kid-Appeal Character to try to lighten the dark tone of the show. He's basically a frog who is the butt of all the fat jokes on the show. He's also hated for being a Non-Action Guy who managed to survive the entire season and he is the cause of the massively slow pace of the first half of the season when he foolishly gets himself kidnapped by the scorpions, which forces protagonist Darel to spend almost three whole episodes trying to rescue Gee.
  • Burnu was initially a scrappy as well as he was initially portrayed as an arrogant frog who constantly made condescending comments towards Darel just because Darel was not a kulipari like Burnu was. In Burnu's case though, he gets Rescued from the Scrappy Heap when he gets a significant amount of Character Development after episode 8 and his conversation in the finale with Tipi proves that he got rescued from the heap of scrappies.
  • Queen Jarrah's assistant is also another scrappy as even though she appeared late in the series, she was basically a Minion with an F in Evil who did not get much development in her character, which caused her to be seen by fans as a very bland character and she was basically forgotten after Jarrah was murdered by Lord Marmoo.
• The Legend of Korra: In a series filled to the brim with cool, well-intentioned, competent, charismatic and interesting Anti-Villains (many of whom get the leather pants treatment), Book 2's Unalaq has the dubious honor of being the most straightforward, dull, Take Over the World villain in the series. His lacking the real world validity of the others and excessive cruelty, hypocrisy, and his endgame would kill everyone meant the show's portrayal of him as similarly well-intentioned before being corrupted were Informed Kindness that meant audiences couldn't Love to Hate him for his depravity. He also lacked the power or over-the-top personality that made the straight-up evil Vaatu (who's justified due to being Made of Evil) and previous series villains entertaining and legitimacy menacing. The Recap Episode in Season 4 mocks Unalaq and calling him "incredibly boring and uninteresting" such the other villains don't even want to invite him in their plan to defeat Bolin, shown the creators realized he didn't come out the way intended.
• The Legend of Zelda (1989): Spryte isn't exactly well-liked by all fans, with her repeated interference with Link's attempts to kiss Zelda, and seeming to not serve much purpose in the show other than to have an unrequited crush on him and interrupt his relationship with Zelda. She's also considered rather annoying in general. Her extremely high-pitched and cutesy voice probably don't help. Some fans, however, think her at least a little bit cute and sexy.
• Keoni Jameson from Lilo & Stitch: The Series, whose entire character could be summarized as "a cool kid who skateboards". Lilo's one-sided crush on him was also annoying, regardless of shipping, for having no real motivation or reason to it and only coming up whenever it was plot-relevant. ^note  Take, for example, his chronological first appearance in "Kixx", where she responds to him with barely concealed annoyance. Jess Winfield, a producer/writer on the show, said the whole crew hated him as he was forced on them by the Disney higher-ups to serve as an Audience Surrogate.
• Bunga from The Lion Guard is hated by a lot of the fans of The Lion King franchise, mainly because he seems to be the biggest source of forced "comedic" conflicts in every episode of the series. The fact that he shares some of the same traits as Scrappy-Doo himself does not help matters, nor does his catchphrase, "Un-Bunga-lievable!", which some perceive as annoying. Also not helping matters is that he's voiced by Joshua Rush, reminding people of his other infamous Disney role.
• Little Bear: Many fans who grew up watching the show did not like Mitzi, due to her being a troublemaker who teases and provokes her friends, and even tried to steal Little Bear's marbles once. While some fans acknowledge that her character teaches children that not everyone you play with will be sweet and always easy to get along with, some found her to be out-of-place in a heartwarming show meant to soothe you.
• Few Lloyd in Space fans have anything nice to say about Lloyd's Annoying Younger Sibling Francine. Not only is she a Bratty Half-Pint, she has Psychic Powers, which she uses to torment Lloyd, and occasionally his friends, at every opportunity. Despite how awful she is, Lloyd seems to eternally be learning the lesson that he has to be nice to his sister. While Francine does get a Pet the Dog moment every now and then, it's not enough to make up for how bratty she is. Not helping her case was the Halloween Episode where she Mind Rapes Lloyd and his friends for not taking her trick-or-treating.
• M.A.S.K.: Scott and T-Bob are generally seen as annoying by many fans, as they frequently hog the spotlight from MASK and VENOM, while usually not contributing anything useful and get into trouble at least once an episode, requiring MASK to save the duo.
• The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack: Peppermint Larry is hated for being too childish and delusional to the point where he creates a feminine candy mannequin and calls it his wife. The fact that he's a Jerkass doesn't really help his case, either.
• Men in Black: The Series:
  • Many fans feel this way about the Worms, mainly because they are often very rude, their obsession with coffee often causes a lot of unnecessary trouble, and they rarely get punished for their mischievous actions. Not to mention they also get a disproportionate amount of focus in later seasons.
  • Agent X was not very well received due to being such a Jerkass to all the human characters and essentially being forced onto the main cast.
• Metalocalypse: Seth, Pickles's Jerkass brother. In a show literally built on Jerkass Comedic Sociopathy, Seth lacks any of that, coming off as a Karma Houdini asshole who gets away with anything when it should be impossible for him to do so. The fact he's the sole reason Pickles is an alcoholic (one of the big factors considering their parents..) makes it worse.
• Little Rock in Mighty Mightor. He was The Load and a Bratty Half-Pint: always recklessly getting into trouble and forcing the title character to have to waste time rescuing him. Even Mightor himself agrees:
  "Oh no, it's Little Rock again!"
• Miraculous Ladybug:
  • The Author Avatar of the show's creator Thomas Astruc is generally ignored or straight-up hated by fans, thanks to a combination of Astruc's controversial reputation in the fandom and the fact that the character mostly exists to let Astruc get praised by his own characters.
  • André Glacier became this due to the Unintentionally Unsympathetic nature of his multiple akumatizations, his tendency to force or guilt-trip Marinette and her friends into eating his ice cream, and his general obsession with the love lives of teenagers he doesn't even know.
• In-universe version with Mr. Skipperdoo in Mr. Incredible and Pals, a parody of low budget Saturday Morning Cartoons. He is a rabbit with glasses who does nothing but hop up and down occasionally and point out details that should have been completely obvious (like the fact that a giant section of bridge is right above the characters' heads). Frozone devotes much of his commentary complaining about Mr. Skipperdoo, and while Mr. Incredible at first tries to excuse the bunny as a Kid-Appeal Character, he eventually admits that 'the rabbit bites'.
• Shapey from Moral Orel. His lines consist mainly of "Waaahhh!" or "Nooo!" in the most annoying voice possible.
• The Mummy: The Animated Series: The Aglaophones were obnoxious joke villains and are possibly even hated by the director of their episode, who is credited as "Alan Smithee."
• Gawayne from Mysticons is presented as this. He doesn't care that his father and stepmother are petrified, only caring to be King. He also poorly treats his butler, as seen in Episode 3, and in his Character Video, when asked about helping others, he dismisses them. His voice is also annoying, and it doesn't help that from any of his videos does it seem like he'll develop any time soon.
• The New Adventures of Batman had Bat-Mite, who is universally reviled because of his annoying voice, insufferable antics, and the fact that he's more-or-less a pointless character left over from the lesser-loved elements of the Silver Age.
• Paradise PD:
  • Dobby being an adorable little mutant who only says his own name is clearly the writers fishing for one of their characters to be a breakout character/series mascot but most fans think he's kind of forced, as he's not plot-relevant and his only purpose is to be funny, despite really only being able to provide one joke.
  • Miss Whiskers is also this to some fans, being a one-trick pony with an annoying voice, who does nothing but make stupid sex puns and unfunny rhymes that are trying to be passed off as catchy and quotable. She was initially designed to just be a one-time character, as one joke was all she was useful for, but someone on the writing team decided to bring her back ... several times, to the point of majorly overusing her.
• The Patrick Star Show:
  • Slappy, a recurring character. He's a creepy Nightmare Fetishist who has a stalkerish crush on Patrick and shows up way too often for no reason, despite not really being funny. However, he gets Rescued from the Scrappy Heap in "Home ECCH!"; he is genuinely supportive of Squidina and actually helps her cook a recipe that she can't get right, and thus ends up saving her grade in her home ec class. Much of his creepiness is then dialed down after that point, plus he ends up being on the receiving end of more slapstick violence (being shot with a cannon in "The Patrick Show Cashes In", getting zapped by electricity in "Dr. Smart Science", and getting run over by Cecil in "Big Baby Patrick").
  • Pat-Tron and Captain Doug Quasar. They mainly show up for time-consuming filler segments where the only punchline is Quasar repeatedly suffering from Pat-Tron's stupidity, with the latter often making things worse than if he wasn't there. None of their bits have any relevance to the story at hand, either, solely existing as Padding. Quasar gets a deserved Take That, Scrappy! in "The Patrick Show Sells Out", where Plankton takes control of Pat-Tron and proceeds to blast him with a laser and beat him into the ground. However, the episode "Blorpsgiving" would give Quasar and Pat-Tron A Day in the Limelight, redeeming them in many fans' eyes. It also helps that after that, their segments actually do show them competently working together once in a while, like in "Dr. Smart Science" and "Big Baby Patrick".
• Phantom Investigators: Wad tends to be the most hated character on the show, for pretty much the same reasons as Slimer. He's an obnoxious comic relief sidekick with an annoying, grating voice who often screws up whatever the gang is doing, only doing anything useful in about three or four episodes. Most of his moments tend to be too low and crude, contrasting the rest of the show's campy yet clever writing. It doesn't help that many of his appearances, such as in "Birthday Presence", are so irrelevant to the plot that either him or the entire scene could be removed without affecting the episode at all.
• Phineas and Ferb:
  • The Bug Trio. They have appeared only in one episode and the OWCA special. They are really annoying and completely out of place in the show. Considering how they were scrapped characters in the show’s early development, many wished they could stay that way.
  • Coltrane isn't very popular due to being somewhat of a pointless Satellite Love Interest for Stacy. It also isn't helped that he was seemingly created just to have another High School Musical guest star appear. 
• Popeye: Popeye's four nephews, who are generally considered to be annoying and shrill, and don't have any real personality going for them other than being Popeye's bratty wards. Fortunately, their appearances are mostly exclusive to the Famous shorts (and still rather sporadic in that case) and a handful of the later Fleischer Popeyes.
• The Proud Family: Dijonay and LaCienega are both this, due to their mistreatment of Penny, in a very similar vein to Dodie. While LaCienega did get better, as she became more of a Lovable Alpha Bitch, she still retains much of her Alpha Bitch energy, remaining incredibly bratty and petty, especially to Penny. As for Dijonay, she's often considered worse, as, while more well meaning than LaCienega, she's not the best person to trust due to three big reasons: her selfishness, in which she has a terrible case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, and she's very fickle towards Penny: her stupidity, from accidentally revealing secrets to other people to her being an Insufferable Imbecile, and the fact that she often gets away with this. How Penny managed to remain friends with them is a mystery. In The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, however, they have become somewhat kinder, but still have their moments of shelfishness and Jerkassery.
  • Louder and Prouder: Maya does not seem to have many fans, on account of her "woke" persona making her come across as Holier Than Thou and acting like she is better than everyone, when in reality she can be hypocritical and doesn’t actually do much as an activist, rather just act like she’s better than everyone and knows more when in some cases she doesn’t or only has a base knowledge. In particular in her debut episode she rejects Penny's multiple attempts to be friends with her and calls her (and her friends) superficial, yet the following episode onwards she still hangs out with them like nothing happened, and in episode three she hangs around La Cieniga of all people, which every negative trait Maya claimed Penny had applies to her, and even helps her with trying to steal Kareem away from Penny. Also in her debut episode she tries to force Penny to help her break a panda out of the zoo to prove she’s not superficial, even after he tells both of them he’s happy in captivity. She is also why the friend group sans Penny turned against Zoey after Noah asked her out because she told them she heard from her cousin, a secondhand source, that he only dates white girls. While she does warm up to and starts treating Penny nicer, particularly after she stands up for her when she and KG get bullied for having two dads, she still hasn’t gotten much love from viewers.
• Ready Jet Go!:
  • Jet's cousin Zerk, for being speciesist to humans and generally overbearing. Some argue he was rescued from the heap in Season 2, as he's no longer prejudiced, but he's still really hyper.
  • Zucchini used to be this until he was rescued in "Space Junk". Before that, his episodes involved him causing conflict out of pure ignorance of basic topics (he thought Titan was Earth and didn't know the three states of matter).
• The Real Ghostbusters has The Junior Ghostbusters, a trio of children, didn't get to appear very often in the main series but were still hated for stealing focus away from the actual Ghostbusters and having little to do in actually affecting the plot. J. Michael Straczynski was notably opposed to the kids and said he'd only use them if he could show them being run over by a truck. Classic Ghostbusters fans have proceeded to fulfill his wish in some fanworks.
• Rick and Morty:
  • Revolio "Gearhead" Clockberg Jr. He's hated mainly for being a minor Creator's Pet, having taken the most amount of episodes out of all of Rick's friends. His first appearance in "Ricksy Business" has him take up a chunk of screen time that robbed another of Rick's friends, Scropon of decent screentime and caused Scropon to become a wasted character in that episode. His next appearance doesn't redeem him either, having him betray Rick for the selfish reason of making money and he gets beat up for this. However, his third appearance in "Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender" has him shockingly Easily Forgiven by Rick and invited to another one of his parties but in that same episode, he trips and falls to pieces in The Stinger and it's doubtful if he is going to be seen again.
  • Naruto, Summer and Morty's giant incest baby. Many fans are disgusted by his mere existence. Although this was the intended reaction, not many people found it so disgusting it's funny, but instead just found it plain disgusting. He's only in two episodes so far, and the episodes he is in are currently the worst-rated on IMDB of the entire series. How badly are they rated? Both are the only episodes to get less than a 7, and the debut episode is the only one to get less than a 6.
• Robotboy: You won't find that many fans of Brian/Brainy Yak. He's hated for his backstory which some felt retconned Moshimo's well-liked background in "Brother" and his bizarre and unfunny nature. Coming out of nowhere to defeat Ensemble Dark Horse Protoboy in his second and final appearance doesn't help his case.
• Rocket Power: MacKenzie Benders is an overly violent and needlessly antagonistic Bratty Half-Pint with a super annoying voice who everyone feared (even her own parents!) meaning she always avoided comeuppance no matter what she did.
• Rugrats:
  • Taffy was a babysitter introduced late in the series' run who everybody on the show loved, but almost everybody watching the show hated. She mainly existed to give Amanda Bynes another Nickelodeon show to star in.
  • Dr. Lipschitz tends to be disliked because, while many parents rely on him for parenting advice, it is shown that he himself knows nothing about how to raise children (despite claiming otherwise).
• Sabrina: The Animated Series had the rare case of the lead character becoming this. When the show was retooled into Sabrina's Secret Life, the tone became much more educational. So in order to set up Sabrina learning more Aesops, she unfortunately Took a Level in Jerkass and does several mean-spirited things before learning her lesson (the worst of which was conspiring with Cassandra to humiliate Maritza at the school dance over a misunderstanding). She also becomes much dumber - which was easier to accept in the first series because she was only thirteen and prone to being impulsive. Here, she was older and yet acted even stupider (one episode has her believing kindergarten-level rumors about Harvey). It didn't help that she was replaced with a voice actress who made her sound very bratty and obnoxious.
• Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat:
  • The Cruel Magistrate and the Cat Catcher from "On the Run" due to their mean-spirited behavior and the fact the former doesn't want any cats in his village and the latter wanted to catch Sagwa and Fu-Fu with his net for the puppet show.
  • A few fans consider the Sleeve Dogs to be this due to their troublesome behavior and a lack of character development they have, and consider them Alley Cat clones. At least they do have redeemable qualities, but not as much as The Alley Cats and Dongwa.
• Sanjay and Craig: Even fans hate Baby Richard Dickson for his gross running gag and being a total Bratty Half-Pint.
• Simba: è nato un re: Winner/Toy the dog isn't well-liked because of his bratty personality and his Plucky Comic Relief role being considered shallow. The canary is also disliked for her rather flat personality.
• South Park:
  • Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo — first appearing in season 1's Christmas Episode — was heavily marketed and designed to be quite Merchandise-Driven. However, his shrill annoying voice, general lack of personality, and role as a pointless gross-out prop led to unpopularity with fans. He has been entirely phased out of later seasons and he only appeared once in a "Hey, remember me?" kind of gag.
    • He showed up in The Stick of Truth in a side-quest that showed he's living in the sewer with a shitty alcoholic wife and three little shits, one retarded. Still, the quest is fairly optional; you don't have to hurry to do it. And he does have a pretty shitty life now.
    • By "The Problem With A Poo", the writers seem to be aware of how hated he is Out-Universe so they decided to make him just as hated In-Universe, and is forced to leave the town.
  • Lisa Berger, particularly in "The Hobbit". She might have been The Woobie for her one-sided crush on Butters, but after she gets Photoshopped, she turns into an abrasive and arrogant bitch. While the fandom may debate extensively about how Wendy handled the issue in this episode, they'll unanimously agree that Lisa was terrible.
  • The Member Berries from season 20. What should have been a one-episode gag got beaten into the ground throughout the entire season. Their constant utterance of "Member (insert nostalgic pop culture reference here)?" and numerous Big Lipped Alligator Moments just screamed "Forced Meme," and as it was the writers' first attempt at a season with a season-wide narrative it is painfully clear they only exist as Filler to pad several episodes up to the 22 minute mark. Their story abruptly ended after the 2016 presidential election, and their story will likely stay that way. Their status as scrappies was briefly lampshaded in the Season 21 episode "Doubling Down," when Garrison tells them to shut up.
• While the crew of the Cerritos of Star Trek: Lower Decks are a cavalcade of fuck-ups, none has earned the fandom's ire more than Dr. Migleemo. He's meant to be the ship's therapist, but he has a massive ego and has no idea how to even do therapy (it's mostly just food metaphors), science officer training (he thinks he does, but he's mostly ignored and Tendi gets help from T'Ana) and even trying to keep his beak shut. With the reveal that Mariner suffers from PTSD because of the Dominion War and self-sabotages herself because of it, his hatedom has grown as his actions are why she suffers. His absolute nadir was in the Season 4 finale "Old Friends, New Planets", where his actions cause Tendi to sacrifice herself and return to Orion.
• Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Flying Princess Pony Head is also hated for being an annoying, selfish Jerkass with No Indoor Voice and treats her friends (especially Marco) like crap. She never learns her lesson, either. Her antics are entirely Played for Laughs, but few people think she's funny.
• If you ask any Steven Universe fan about their least favorite character, chances are they will say either Onion and/or Ronaldo. The two of them have the distinction of being rather big jerkasses in a show known for how nice and likable almost every other character is, which makes them stand out more, but there's more to them on an individual level on why they are so hated:
  • While Onion being a huge Creepy Child doesn't help, most fans hate him on how he's a Karma Houdini: despite being shown stealing often, being prone to violence, screwing with Steven, and doing more felonies, the show treats him as just a mischievous prankster a la Amethyst rather than the psycho he is. Worse, he's actually given an incredibly thin Freudian Excuse, the fact that he doesn't get to see his father too much, which falls apart when you realize that Steven never met his mom, yet he doesn't use that to act as a Jerkass.
  • Then there's Ronaldo. Unlike Onion, who sometimes shows redeeming qualities (for example, Onion gave Steven an "Explorer Gal" figure as an apology token) it seems like there's nothing positive to say about Ronaldo. He's a HUGE Know-Nothing Know-It-All with a good amount of Wrong Genre Savvy fueled by a desire to feel important. While most of his antics are played for laughs, most people find them irritating rather than funny. PhantomStrider calls Ronaldo in his Top 10 Worst Episodes of Otherwise Good Cartoons a "train-wreck of a character" and "an ugly wart in the face of an otherwise immaculate, gorgeous cartoon". It became cathartic for viewers when Steven after trying to accommodate his desire to be part of action chews him out for being incredibly selfish and actively unhelpful.
• Superfriends:
  • The animated series originally had three Scrappies in the mascot/sidekick characters of Marvin, Wendy, and 'Wonderdog', two ordinary teenagers and their pet who dressed in superhero drag and whose roles in the series (especially Marvin's) were to do stupid but plot-enabling things. The characters were so annoying to even the pre-teens who were the primary audience of the show that they were replaced by the only marginally more acceptable Wonder Twins, a pair of teenaged alien superheroes and their pet space monkey Gleek, who filled the "get captured by the Monster of the Week" and "cause trouble through abject stupidity" roles until the series finally dumped them too and redid the format into a more traditional superhero show.
  • In the "Power Hour" of Superfriends, there are three Scrappies: El Dorado, a one-Spanish-word-a-sentence hero with vaguely defined powers; Samurai — a one-Japanese-word-a-sentence fellow who had a horribly stereotyped personality; and Firestorm, who is considered a Scrappy thanks mainly to his status of always being the fellow to yank the Big Damn Heroes moment from everyone (especially from a badly Chickified Wonder Woman).
  • Thanks to Never Live It Down and Audience-Coloring Adaptation, Aquaman had a really bad time being a Damsel Scrappy. Also, most of the time, his powers are useless owing to the series' extreme Cast Speciation limiting him to aquatic abilities in a land-based series.
  • Hawkman didn't fare much better than Aquaman. In this series, his powers were flight... and that's it. All the situations that made the comic book Hawkman heroic were entirely absent, leaving him basically useless. The all-time low in the Scrappy department probably came in the episode "Secret Origins of the Superfriends", which showed Superman getting erased from history in the middle of a "Superman Day" celebration... and replaced it with "Hawkman Day".
• Superjail!: 
  • While most inmates have their fans, the fat perverted convict (Fatty) is understandably the most hated, owing to him being way more one-note and his existence revolving around being creepy and making sexual advances to anyone (and anything) he fancies. Of course, he always winds up killed or maimed for his behavior, which is part of the joke with the character.
  • The Demonic Dummy Prison PeeDee is basically the new Scrappy for the show among parts of the fandom, due to his obnoxious shrill voice and the fact that he would apparently be in season 4 "a lot" with Lord Stingray (who's divisive as is). It was not helped by the announcement that season 4 would only be six episodes instead of the usual ten, leading to the pre-emptive impressions of them stealing the spotlight from the rest of the cast.
• Superman: The Animated Series: Due to abandoning Superman in his time of need by being willing to let Supergirl die in the Grand Finale and then using Superman's rightful anger at him for stabbing him in the back as an excuse for a Face–Heel Turn in Justice League Unlimited, it's highly doubtful you'll find someone who likes Professor Hamilton ever again. Bruce Timm stated in his Modern Masters book that THEY didn't like Professor Hamilton in the first place. That's why, when debating who Darkseid should kill, they finally came up with Dan Turpin, because they weren't allowed to kill Ma and Pa Kent and they felt if they killed Professor Hamilton, it wouldn't have any impact because they never liked him anyway.
• Super Noobs:
  • Mr. Wertz for being a Karma Houdini and for having done things that would have gotten him fired from his job as a science teacher, arrested, and thrown in jail as he once attempted to mind control all of Cornbury and experimented with the virus in a secret lab underneath the school.
  • Amy Anderson, as some fans expected her to be a Fifth Ranger of the Noobs, but she was regulated to being a typical Damsel in Distress as well as a poorly made ripoff of superhero girlfriends. She also does not get much screen time and because of this, her romance with Tyler is half-baked.
• T.U.F.F. Puppy: Becky from "Love Bird" isn't well-liked due to her bland personality and ugly design.
• TaleSpin:
  • There's the High Marshall of Thembria, who also doubles as an Ethnic Scrappy. He's so bad that his threats and mistreatment of Colonel Spigot save the colonel from being a Scrappy and push him into Jerkass Woobie territory.
  • Also Molly Cunningham, for the same reasons as Webby: she doesn't serve any real purpose, she's just there. That said, there was an episode or two in which Webby turned out to be helpful, but the same couldn't be said of Molly.
• Tangled: The Series:
  • In Season 1 you would be hard-pressed to find many who care for the Captain of the Guards, who seems to be aiming for a record for how many episodes someone can juggle the Jerkass Ball and Idiot Ball. Fortunately, he gets Rescued from the Scrappy Heap in Season 3.
  • Nigel, the royal family's advisor, garnered a fair amount of ire due to him ordering for Varian to be ejected into a blizzard at a time of need, in addition to quickly coming to the incorrect conclusion that he attacked Rapunzel. Besides that, he's seen as too annoying and uptight. Like the Captain, he was somewhat Rescued from the Scrappy Heap in Season 3 with the episode "Pascal's Dragon" making it at most more understandable why he acts as uptight and strictly cautious as he does (as the last time he prioritized a friend over the well being of his home and its people, there were disastrous consequences, so he wasn't willing to take the chance of Rapunzel doing the same in regards to Varian.)
• Teen Titans (2003): Mento is by far the least liked member of the Doom Patrol, mainly due to his high strict standards and poor treatment of Beast Boy. He's also disliked for his arrogance in refusing to help the Teen Titans fight the Brotherhood of Evil, which would have gotten his entire team and family killed had it not been for the Titans ignoring his orders. When the character somewhat returns in Season 3 of Young Justice, he is presented in a considerably less favorable light.
• Some of the introduced engines of Thomas & Friends, particularly those created during Hit Entertainment's run, tend to be disliked, either due to having limited, more gimmicky personalities, or by fans of the original Railway Series novels who dislike the show's overuse of newly created characters over the original cast. Charlie "the Playful Purple Engine" and the Logging Locos seem to get the most flak in particular.
• ThunderCats (1985)
  • The unforgivably awful Snarf. Has there ever been a more aggravating "cute" character in a cartoon?
  • Snarf's young nephew Snarfer, who is, if anything, even more annoying.
  • Lion-O in the blooper reel (NSFW) says what most of us are thinking:
    Snarf: You—you've got to snap out of it, Lion-O! Call the ThunderCats before—
    Lion-O: Shut up, you fuck.
  • There might just be a reason that Snarf in Thunder Cats 2011 is retooled into a pet, who doesn't talk.
  • The character probably most deserving of fans' hatred is Captain Bragg, who made the Mutants and Lunataks look like a bunch of chumps (well, more so than usual) and put them on a train out of the series. He gets away with hypnotizing WilyKat and tricking him into helping him and doesn't get punished for it. Bragg doesn't even have any real coolness to him to make up for it, he's just an old circus ringleader with a talking crow.
• Time Squad: Buck Tuddrussel has got some hatedom of his own for his jerkassery towards Larry 3000 as well as for constantly making the time squad's missions to repair the timeline more difficult by constantly Going Native in the historical eras that needed fixing.
• Tom and Jerry:
  • The babysitter who would spend more time talking on the phone, rather than babysitting, while Tom and Jerry have to always watch the baby since it always crawls its way to danger. The babysitter also repeatedly beats Tom with her broom for supposedly "bothering" the baby. She always got off scot-free for this.
  • Little Quacker, the little duckling who shows up in a few cartoons, partly for its voice (Donald-but-not-quite) but mostly for being irredeemably stupid (thinking Tom is its mother, taking a swim in a pot of soon-to-be-boiling water, etc.), thus acting as a load for Jerry. Quacker would reappear in many Hanna-Barbara televised series (albeit under the moniker Yakky Doodle) where his role is practically the same alongside other beleaguered characters such as Chopper the Bulldog and Yogi Bear.
  • Tom’s owner from the Gene Deitch shorts is vehemently loathed by fans, even those who are more forgiving towards Deitch’s other shorts. He isn’t exactly meant to be sympathetic, but his tendency to violently lash out at Tom for minor infractions that were largely Jerry's fault to begin with, his sadistic nature, the fact that he’s a Karma Houdini, and being an inferior replacement to Mammy Two-Shoes (who herself is a Base-Breaking Character) make him a very grating addition that wrecks the series’ formula.
• The Transformers fandom has several different Scrappies to choose from, both humanoid and robot.
  • The most disliked of the robots appear to be Wheelie from the original series, for his irritating speech pattern and voice, even by G1 standards, and replacing the more understated Bumblebee as resident Kid-Appeal Character (though not the version in the comics, who does neither) and Nightscream from Beast Machines, for being a mildly overpowering Jerkass Emo Teen with nothing but disrespect for the protagonists and a really ugly design.
  • Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime also has quite a hatedom to many G1 fans, mainly because he's the guy who got Optimus Prime killed. Ultra Magnus also gets some of this treatment, but to a much lesser degree. The hatedom has mostly softened since then, due to the sections of the fanbase who grew up with season 3, the original movie, and the comics, and it being hard to feel as bad when Optimus dies once a week, but you'll still find holdouts who fondly dream of driving the Space Winnebago off a cliff.
  • Those Puny Earthlings don't get off much easier, either... Sari of Animated, on the other hand, seems to have beaten the odds and been accepted by the fanbase (or at least a lot more than usual). And amazingly, she managed this even before we found out she turned out to be a robot.
    • Of the Puny Earthlings, the least-liked on Western shores seems to be Daniel from Transformers: Generation 1. Maybe it was the voice. Maybe it was his stupendously dorky outfit. Or maybe the crying. How about his tendency to hang around Wheelie? Or was it that he replaced his considerably more tolerable father Spike as the main human character after the Time Skip? Or how he decided to stick around for Transformers: ★Headmasters, which made him even worse in every regard? Whatever it is, the kindest thing people will generally say for Daniel is that he wasn't quite as bad as people remember him being, which is a pretty low bar.
• Ultimate Spider-Man: Nova. He acts hot-headed and aggressive, has some strong moments of Too Dumb to Live, and constantly disagrees with Spider-Man and puts him down even when Spidey does have a point. The worst part was probably his attitude toward Harry Osborn. On top of that, he's based on Sam Alexander, who in the comics, is a Replacement Scrappy for Richard Rider... and given that Alexander was created by Jeph Loeb, Marvel Head of Television, he might even be a Creator's Pet.
• The Venture Bros.:
  • The Murderous Moppets, who the creators planned to keep on the show solely because they're so universally despised by the fans. The Moppets were hated by the characters themselves, before being ultimately Killed Off for Real when it was revealed they were behind Henchman 24's murder. The creators admitted later on they hated them too because they had little idea what to do with them at first, but the fandom's sheer hatred of the two gave them ideas.
  • Dermott, too, has become something of a Scrappy. He was almost universally hated by fans and many have called for his non-return: he's obnoxious, boastful, and gets Hank in trouble more than a few times. The fans have softened up to Dermott in season 5 for being more of a true friend to Hank and becoming stoked over being a Venture brother.
  • JJ, or Jonas Venture Jr. is another Scrappy among fans, because of his increasingly Smug Snake personality, perhaps why he never made an actual appearance in season 4 before getting Killed Off for Real.
  • Augustus St. Cloud - it's hard to tell if he's meant to be a Hate Sink or not, but his Always Someone Better nature and Smug Snake-ness seem to rub a lot of people the wrong way, even aside from his voice and his looks.
• Voltron: Legendary Defender: Admiral Sanda is not well-liked by fans, as she is an Obstructive Bureaucrat who stymies Sam Holt at every opportunity, leading to many pointless deaths at the hands of the Galra including Adam, Shiro's ex-boyfriend. Worse, she's a turncoat actively selling Earth out to the Galra. Even if she was genuinely motivated by a desire to protect what's left of Earth, audiences didn't believe her Redemption Equals Death deserved the sympathy and grand funeral the heroes gave her.
• The Wild Thornberrys
  • Tyler, Eliza's annoying and haughty cousin, who becomes a main character for part of season 3. Fortunately, the creators caught on quickly and his appearances became much more sporadic.
  • Shane also counts. Not only is he a completely unnecessary Satellite Love Interest for Eliza, but the audience is also supposed to like and agree with him despite the fact that he endangered not only himself, but Donnie and Eliza as well, a toddler and a preteen, respectively, and see him as being in the right when his only concern afterward was insulting Eliza, who was understandably furious at his incredibly reckless actions. And that's just his first episode.
• Winx Club has its share:
  • She was never liked to begin with, but during season 4, most fans really wanted Mitzi to just disappear already.
  • The villain for season 5, Tritannus, became this almost immediately, due to being probably the most pathetic villain in the entire show. He's considered one of the absolute worst things of season 5. Valtor and Darkar had problems, but they still had their fans. No one likes Tritannus.
  • Roy, also from season 5, is also this, due to being a complete Flat Character and a Replacement Scrappy to Nabu. The fan base rejoiced when he was Put on a Bus after Aisha's Love Triangle ended.
• Blunk from W.I.T.C.H. is probably the most hated character. Essentially a combination of Slimer, Gollum, and a filthy, dumpster-diving bum, exactly how he fits into a magical girl show was never explained, nor was exactly whom he was intended to please. Also, while the show had many original characters added, most had bit parts; Blunk was essentially a Creator's Pet by the end of it. It really says something when a character voiced by Steve Blum receives so much hatred.
• Xiaolin Showdown: Hannibal Roy Bean is made up to be the ultimate villain, but he never succeeds in showing that. Also, he's very unattractive compared to the 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.
• X-Men: The Animated Series: Warlock from the "Phalanx Covenant" story arc. He was just an annoying voice attached to a silly alien belief structure that was reminiscent of nothing moreso than Rolf from Ed, Edd n Eddy.
• X-Men: Evolution: Spyke was an example of the crew's attempts to bring in a brand new X-Men character for the series who would be the "epitome of cool." This failed so badly (with almost all of the fans being irritated by his "cool lingo" and overall skater persona) that he was Put on a Bus halfway through season 3, having experienced further growth of his "spikes" to the point where he looked more like an armadillo than a kid, he ran away to live with the Morlocks in the underground sewer system. It didn't really help matters that he had basically the same powers as a relatively well-known Morlock from the comics, Marrow, although Word of God says this was a complete accident.
  Yo, Rogue, why don't you shed them gloves and give K-Girl a tiny tap?"
• Yin Yang Yo!: Carl's mother Edna is despised by the fandom for her shrill-attitude and never treating Carl with any sort of respect. Is it any wonder Carl is a Jerkass Woobie?
