** Sylvia Noble, Donna\\\'s mum. Her [[SmallNameBigEgo arrogance]], [[SmugSnake smugness]], constant belittling of her daughter, and inability to say the words \\\"Thank You\\\" left a bad taste in the mouth of many a fan.
** The Slitheen. Shoddy costume design, out-of-place toilet humor and the fact that the characters themselves were generally seen to be more irritating than menacing.
** Angie and to a lesser extent Artie became this in record time during \\\"NightmareInSilver\\\", for being both TheLoad and in Angie\\\'s case a JerkAss. Within the first minute of Nightmare in Silver, Angie called the TARDIS a \\\"stupid box.\\\" Of COURSE the fandom hates them.
** The Doctor himself hasn\\\'t escaped Scrappy-dom, either; the Sixth Doctor (as played by Colin Baker) is considered a Scrappy by certain parts of fandom. These fans find him to be obnoxious, abrasive, and an empty attempt by the producers to make the show DarkerAndEdgier... not to mention his costume. This mainly applies to his television portrayal, however, which debuted in a particularly difficult era of the show\\\'s history which affected the way he was introduced and presented. It\\\'s widely agreed that the various ExpandedUniverse media featuring Six (along with a less gaudy suit) has largely contributed to him being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.
** David Gooderson\\\'s Davros who was randomly Scottish, and didn\\\'t act anything like Michael Wisher\\\'s Davros or Terry Malloy\\\'s.
** Any Doctor or companion is the Scrappy to a lot of people.
** Despite being one of the most popular companions of the New Series Rose is the scrappy to many. The accusations are she is a ClingyJealousGirl who gets angry at any girl even looking at the Doctor, she was RTD\\\'s MarySue who he had to make a canon perfect companion, and despite acting really selfish she ends up getting her own Doctor, and that she was incredibly rude to Sarah Jane Smith, one of the most popular companions. Also Doomsday and Journey\\\'s End imply she was willing to destroy two worlds just to get the Doctor. And yet she never gets called out on this. A lot of people think Rose started out fine in Series 1 but became unbearable in Series 2.

This trope becomes meaningless if \\\'\\\'\\\'every single New Who main character\\\'\\\'\\\' is listed. Get it together, folks.
