Info Post
Some grown men like me (which in itself is questionable) and I were having a conversation about how some cool cartoons when we were growing up were ruined by the addition of certain moronic characters and it got me to thinking about the most annoying cartoon characters of all-time. See, we don't sit around and talk about visits to Hooters and sports and Spike TV all the time, sometimes it's all about cartoons and the complexity of our youth. Seriously. Well at least my group, and usually beer is involved also. Back to the annoying characters, there were a lot of them that forced the proverbial shark tank jump for the shows, but this isn't just about those. I'm talking about the most annoying cartoon idiots ever. I'd like to smash their little 2-D faces. Here's the ones I came up with that possibly scarred my young impressionable mind and laid the groundwork for modern day idiots like Jim Carey.

Top 10 Most Annoying Cartoon Characters

10. Woody Woodpecker - Screwball? Definitely. Annoying? Let there be no doubt. Cruel? Yeah, he often annoyed other characters just for the sake of annoying them, possibly to the point of suicide. Who knows. If he had a hobby, say flying or pecking a tree for instance, a lot of mental anguish to those around him could have been spared. And that laugh? That's fake and forced obviously. Hard to believe he was "invented" before meth.

9. Wonderdog (from Super Friends) - He was the bumbling, idiot of a dog that Marvin and Wendy brought to the show. A most blatant rip-off of Scooby Doo, but even stupider. No super powers to speak of, the only "wonder" about him is that I wonder if he was actually housebroken. Also, he looked to me like he was wormy. I swear in one episode at the Justice League I saw him in the background dragging his butt on the super carpet.

8. Brainy Smurf (from The Smurfs) - This sanctimonious, arrogant know-it-all from The Smurfs was quick to tell other smurf's what they were doing wrong with a lecture, often leading to his smurfbutt being beaten black and... well black at least. Justifiably so for the most part.

7. Olive Oyl (from Popeye) - While Popeye and Bluto both were infatuated with her, she was just flat out dogbutt ugly, scrawny, lazy and fickle as all hell. Whoever wooed her with the best gifts often scored with her, and she was possibly the worst "Mom" to poor little Sweet Pea that the kid could possibly have. I bet she shook him like a British nanny offscreen. Either Popeye or Bluto could do 10X better, as in my experience some hot chicks go for muscled up guys with tats and speach impediments. With all the money they spent on her, it's a wonder neither ever came up with the idea for a boob job.

6. The Great Gazoo (from The Flintstones) - A great example of a "shark jump", this little green smart-mouthed alien appeared on The Flintstones as the show was in it's death kneal, and pushed it over the edge. He usually called Fred and Barney dum-dums, which I never thought was very nice, and the jackass actually created a button that would destroy the universe. Why would you do that? Cause you're a jerk, that's why. Even G-Dub hasn't done that. Yet.

5. Lucy (from Peanuts) - Constantly calling Chuck a blockhead and pretending she'd hold the damn football for him to kick, only to remove it at the last second EVERY SINGLE TIME and send him to possible spinal damage or at the very least ridicule and humiliation, from which he probably never recovered. When Charlie Brown asked her during their psychiatrist booth sessions why no one liked him, Lucy always laid the blame on Charlie Brown himself. Who was she to say that? Did she even have a license to practice any sort of therapy? Where I'm from, that's illegal.

4. Smurfette (from The Smurfs) - 2 words... smurf tease. How many blue balls were in Smurf Village? All of them, that's how many. If you think she was slutty you didn't watch the show very closely.

3. Mushmouth (from Fat Albert) - Budeep a bubba da beep my lubba. Hebba sucka.

2. Scooby Dumb (from Scooy-Doo Mysteries) - Obviously a mentally challenged dog, the explotation of him for humor was just so wrong. Still didn't make me like him any more though. How does a dog with this low of an IQ avoid wandering in the road for so many seasons? I've had smart dogs that sadly became road kill, but I'd root for Scooby Dumb to do it weekly.

1. Scrappy Doo (from Scooby-Doo Mysteries)- Scrappy single-pawedly ruined a great show. I know he idolized his Uncle Scoob and he was a brave little guy, but he was a smart mouth who just wouldn't listen to reason and never obeyed. He had a massive Great Dane head on a deformed little body, he yelled the moronic catchphrase "Puppy power!" just to sell more merchandise, and the people who created Henry Hawk in the Foghorn Leghorn cartoon should sue the hell out of the creator of this annoying mutt for all they're worth. Sometimes his Uncle Scoob would just want to chill and eat while hiding from a "ghost" and Scrappy would annoy and goad him into risking his life. For what? Money? No, they didn't get paid. Just because he wanted it done. I hate him. Yes... hate. Of all the dogs to get parvo and die why spare this loudmouth? That's a question I can't answer.
