Top 10 Worst Cartoon Characters of All Time

#10 — Tweety Bird: You know there's a problem when every single kid roots for the "hero" to be devoured in each episode. No sense of humor. No personality. Annoying voice. Plus he was always tattling. I knew kids like this growing up. Most of them ate paste, sat in the front of the bus, and got me in trouble.

#9 — Grape Ape: A real moron. All he knows how to say is his name. And he does so non-stop for a half an hour. I'd rather watch "Davey and Goliath Covet Their Neighbors Model Airplane."

#8 — Olive Oyl: Am I the only one out there who thought this was one lady NOT worth fighting over? And that's what they did every episode! She talks like Edith Bunker and looks like a pipe cleaner with a cheap hat. Hey, Popeye, you're a sailor . . . you can do better! Plus Olive can never decide if she wants to date that jerk Brutus or not. The girl is just bad news.

#7 — Petunia Pig: Remember her? Porky's girlfriend? She was a real zero. What was the point of her anyway? To make Porky look good? Come on, who did they think they're fooling. We all know Porky is gay.

#6 — Pebbles & Bam-Bam, as teenagers: What were they thinking? Were they trying to cash in on the "Joanie loves Chachi" thing? And how come every cartoon teenager plays in crumby rock band? An awful — and thankfully shortlived — idea.

#5 — Pepe LePew: Hello, Warner Brothers, ever heard of sexual harassment? Let's take a good look at this character; a horny, rapist skunk who's attracted to other species! NOT good for the kids. Plus, worse still, he's French.

#4 — Alan, from Josie and the Pussy Cats: How weak was this "Fred" clone? They even gave him an ascot, for crying out loud. Well, I knew Fred. I grew up with Fred. Fred was like a friend of mine. Let me tell you something . . . you're no Fred.

#3 — Zan and Zana, the Wondertwins: How many times do we have to say it? Leave the crimefighting to the professionals! "Form of . . . an idiot!" They should have been voted out of the Hall of Justice a long time ago. There's no room for dead weight in this game.

#2 — Kazoo, from the Flintstones: It's like "Hmmm, a miniature, green spaceman who appears only to Fred Flintstone isn't enough of a stretch. I know! Let's give him a snotty London accent!" Um, could I get a drug test from Hanna Barbara, please?

#1 — Scrappy Doo: And, really, who else COULD it be? This guy ruined Scooby Doo! Just came in and ruined it! Scrappy is the Yoko Ono of Saturday morning cartoons. I can't even talk about it anymore. It's too upsetting.
