The 12 Cartoon Characters We Hated Then and We Still Hate Now

We loved cartoons as kids, but sometimes the characters in them actually got on our nerves. There 12 in particular were some of the most annoying jerks we had the displeasure of watching.

Caillou

He was a spoiled brat who screamed and cried anytime he didn't get his way.

Scrappy Doo

A character designed to appeal entirely to kids ended up annoying them with his constant trying to fight everything and getting in the way.

Starscream

Starscream spent half his moments whining to Megatron and the other half plotting to overthrow him. Why did anyone ever keep him around?

Elmyra Duff

Yeah she loved animals, but she refused to realize she was torturing them, and that is NOT cool.

Dora

This picture really says it all.

D.W. Read

Mean, spiteful, and always complaining, D.W. was the worst.

Peggy Hill

Constantly incompetent at everything she does and yet always getting upset whenever anybody calls her on it, Peggy Hill was the most annoying character on an otherwise great show.

Team Rocket

Seriously, how many freaking times were we getting invested in the story, only to have it interrupted by these morons? You'd think they'd give up on trying to get ONE Pikachu after hundreds of attempts.

Jubilee

She was supposed to appeal to the kids in the audience, but we pretty much all hated her bright yellow rain jacket and useless powers.

Lucy Van Pelt

Would you just let Charlie Brown kick the football already?

Arnold's cousin Janet

Arnold's got it tough enough as it is, and then his identical cousin shows up to a class she doesn't go to and makes fun of him all the time? Yeesh.

Randall Weems

He lived to tattle on everybody, and we hated him as much as he loved it.

Which one of these characters annoyed you the most?
