Caillou (Caillou)
Caillou, which means "pebble" or "stone" in French, is the self-proclaimed "Prince of Imagination." He is a four-year-old boy who serves as the titular main protagonist of the TV series and books of the same name.
Caillou was first voiced by Bryn McAuley from 1997 to 2000, then by Jaclyn Linetsky... read more
I know it's common for little kids to cry, but there's a limit to how much crying you can tolerate. Throughout the show, Caillou often breaks down and throws a tantrum for little or no reason.
Everyone cries, but Caillou takes crying way too far. He throws tantrums, and he's a bratty child!

Brian Griffin (Family Guy)
Brian H. Griffin, popularly known without his middle initial as Brian Griffin, is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is the Griffin family's anthropomorphic pet dog, known for his dry wit, intellectual demeanor, and liberal political views. Brian is voiced by series... read more
All he ever seems to do now is complain about everything and not actually do anything to make things better. He even manages to screw up every relationship he's been in and doesn't admit to his own faults.

SpongeBob SquarePants (SpongeBob SquarePants)
SpongeBob SquarePants is a fictional character and the titular protagonist of the American animated television series of the same name. SpongeBob is known for his bright optimism and naive, childish tendencies. He often gets into trouble in Bikini Bottom.... read more
I think we all remember "A Day Without Tears," where he literally spends the entire beginning of the episode crying over even the most mundane things. I mean, SpongeBob has the mindset of a kid and all, but the post-movie episodes really flanderized his more flawed traits. And I thought "Funny Pants" was bad for bringing SpongeBob's laughter up to eleven. Speaking of which, he also cries to intolerable degrees in that episode as well.
To quote Stephen Quire: "SHUT UP!!!!!"

D.W. Read (Arthur)
D.W. Read is a fictional character in the children's television series Arthur, which debuted in 1996. She is the younger sister of the main character, Arthur Read. D.W. is known for her imaginative personality and frequent exclamations that entertain and engage younger viewers.
Just look at the episode Cast Away. In the episode's intro, she cries when she can't go with Arthur and Dad to the museum, so Mom makes them take her along. In the actual episode, when Arthur and Dad are planning to go on a fishing trip for just the two of them, she finds out Dad has to work next weekend, and she won't be able to have her time with Dad. She cries and cries until Arthur agrees to let her come, even though she previously stated that when it was her time with Dad, Arthur wouldn't be able to come with them no matter how much he cried.
D.W. is my least favorite Arthur character.
-
Ash Ketchum (Pokémon)
Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi in Japan, was the main protagonist of the Pokémon anime for its first 25 seasons. He travels across regions, competes in Pokémon battles, and works toward becoming a Pokémon Master. Ash frequently thwarts Team Rocket's attempts to steal his partner, Pikachu.
In a lot of Season 1 of Pokémon, Ash acted like a big crybaby, most notably in the episode "Path to the Pokémon League." There, he challenges AJ, a trainer who has never been beaten, and loses. He then continues to complain and whine, asking for a rematch, which AJ refuses to accept, even stating, "No one wants to compete against a crybaby."
He was like that at the beginning, but at least he matures, even though he's still at a young age.

She's so cute, but I feel bad for her being the youngest. I've never seen her cry before, so I just need to see that for myself sometime.
She is one of the girls on Cartoon Network who cries a lot.
The episode where she's at her worst was in All Chalked Up!
-
Boots (Dora the Explorer)
I never saw him cry throughout the series except in that one episode. He's not spoiled or anything like that, so he seems quite happy overall.
Oh, I also forgot that he was sad about his costume, and he wasn't the only one. Every single one of his friends was sad too. I'm so glad that he and the others got them back.
Do you remember that video?
Dora: Hey, Boots, why are you crying?
Boots: I fell down and got a boo-boo!

-
George Pig (Peppa Pig)
George Pig is a character in Peppa Pig. He is a small pig, typically portrayed as two years old, and is Peppa's younger brother. George is known for his love of dinosaurs and often carries a toy dinosaur with him.
Caillou should not be at number 1. Instead, it should be George Pig. Seriously, he cries way too much, and it starts to get annoying.

Usually, when he cries, it's because he emotionally manipulates others into thinking he's the victim.
-
Jimmy (Ed, Edd n Eddy)
He literally gets hurt by a clothespin. You could probably drop a feather on him, and he'd still get hurt.
-

In "Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!", she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to and responded sassily to her mother's call to watch the news.

At 13 years old, Lynn Loud is the fifth-oldest child in the Loud family. She is also the youngest of Lincoln Loud's five older sisters. Lynn is known for her competitive nature and love of sports, often being portrayed as the most athletic sibling in the family.
Lynn is a sore loser who takes losing way too personally. In "No Such Luck," she blames Lincoln for her team losing, even deeming him unlucky, even though she forced him to come to her game in the first place. Then, in "Lynner Takes All," after the Loud siblings team up against her and she loses, she throws a fit, which causes her to act even more obnoxious as she begins challenging everyone at everything.
-
Luanne Platter (King of the Hill)
Not what I had in mind, but it's just sad that she's not getting the attention.
-
Haley Long (American Dragon: Jake Long)
She whines all the time! In the episode "Haley Gone Wild," she was watching a rip-off of Sesame Street and the Garbage Pail Kids. She just whines all the time! American Dragon Jake Long is good, but I'd rather just call Haley's favorite show "Sesame Street in Hell!"
Don't get me wrong. I've been in her shoes a lot, and it wasn't funny.
-
Dora (Dora the Explorer)
Dora is the main protagonist of the animated television show Dora the Explorer. Her primary role is to go on adventures and solve problems with her monkey friend, Boots. The show is designed to be educational, teaching children basic Spanish and problem-solving skills.

Dodie Bishop (As Told by Ginger)
