Frankie "Dishpan" Santana from Season 5 of the A-Team has to qualify, surely. He narrowly ducks being an Ethnic scrappy, since he doesn't act all that stereotypically, but the fact that he's just suddenly on the Team, and everybody else seems to be forced into the backseat to accomadate his role was one of the more horrible things about that ill-fated final season of the show.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman- Luwaxana Troi, Picard's creepy psychic Stalker with a Crush as well as Deanna's overbearing mother who has a Small Name, Big Ego that she has to announce her name and title to everyone she meets. She thinks nothing of pairing Deanna with someone she never even met, trying to force her and Riker to marry after just one date on the planet, and when she's undressed, she acts in horror despite acting like being naked at a wedding isn't any big deal. She's one of Chuck's hated characters, even preferring WESLEY'S subplots to her main plot. Many fans consider her as bad, or even worse than Neelix at many points in TNG. Though in the EU novels, she's Rescued from the Scrappy Heap when she beats down Q after he gives her powers and uses her.
I removed this for a couple of reasons. First of all, Chuck has his own page. Since Luxanna is a character he hates, she should be put there. Second of all, Riker and Deanna had known each other before the series began. They dated for a while. They have UST throughout the entire show. That was not their first date. Thirdly, Deanna was in an arranged marriage with somebody else. Luxuanna didn't arrange it all by herself. It's a marriage custom. Luxanna isn't forcing her. Lastly, Luxanna is not being a hypocrite. There is a huge difference between walking around nude of your own free will and having your clothes teleported off your body without your consent.
So I notice Marley and Lindsey of 'The New Adventures Of Old Christine' is on this list. I always felt like they were designed to be unlikeable, so I don't know if they apply or not.
I could of sworn I left a discussion about Ros from "A Game of Thrones". Anyway, I don't think she qualifies. What was being discussed in the entry I deleted more described Creator's Pet.
- Tara herself is a major Base Breaker on the show: while several fans loved her, others hated her, particularly Willow/Oz fans who felt that she stole Willow away, and many found her incredibly bland.
I pulled this out because it more describes Die for Our Ship and Base Breaker. Tara does have a lot of fans; Scrappies are widely hated.
Hide / Show Replies- Gwen is supposed to be the 'human element' of the group, which apparently means being The Load for an annoying proportion of episodes and taking extremely obtuse objections to the way Torchwood operates. Add to this more than a few Mary Sue traits (I seem to remember every regular character, male or female, has had at least one romantic subplot with her despite her flat personality) and she certainly fits this trope.
Removed the entry about Gwen for the the same reason. She gets a lot of hate on AGA, but she does have communities dedicated to liking her. That's not the case for a Scrappy.
The entry for Claire Bennet was pulled because unlike Maya and Alejandro (not to mention Mohinder), she was never that widely hated - not to mention actually doing useful stuff throughout each of the four seasons. Also, anyone who goes out on their own to take down villains and takes advantage of the fact that she can never get drunk to win money surely can't count as a Scrappy...
I pulled the Jericho example mainly because its seems the Jericho Broken Base can't even seem to agree on how to word the damn thing. Plus Emily was never really universally disliked even at worst they were several Emily friendly boards and sites and many fans really didn't care either way. Emily had detractors certainly but really no more than say Sam Anders or Jadzia Dax.
For Star Trek: TNG, I would add Worf's son, Alexander, mainly because he generally was only brought in whenever they wanted to show how difficult being a parent is, and not so much the more positive aspects, which led to him being an annoying brat in most of his appearances.
Satan says you need more color!
