Top 10 Cartoon Characters We Feel Most Sorry For

Cartoon characters who most deserve our pity characters who are annoyed, abused or treated like dirt by other characters.
The Top Ten
1 Squidward Tentacles (Spongebob Squarepants) Squidward Tentacles is a fictional character voiced by actor Rodger Bumpass in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.

The people who hate him because he's a jerk are wrong. They are probably ten years old. The reason he's a jerk is that SpongeBob and Patrick annoy him every day. In "Truth or Square," we see a flashback to when SpongeBob hadn't moved in, and Squidward was super happy. Then SpongeBob moved in and ruined Squidward's life. I truly feel sorry for him.

I can relate to this guy. When I was in school, trying to mind my own business on my computer indoors, I encountered many annoying kids who wouldn't leave me alone. I kept telling them to go away, but they never listened. This happened when I was in eighth grade and it still continues!

These kids aren't very mature for ninth grade (my current grade), and I have to deal with this annoyance every single time at school. Even in my class, when I encounter annoying children, I run out to the corridors to avoid them. They are the reason I've had mental health issues, and it's surprising nobody has noticed this until now.

The counselors always defend the kids and lecture me. Luckily, I haven't been suspended, but I get blamed often, and I'm sick of it. My throat hurts from yelling at them because they never listen. I'm sure Squidward has similar problems in his life.

Trust me, Squidward and I have a lot in common, except I like SpongeBob and Patrick.

2 Meg Griffin (Family Guy) Megan "Meg" Griffin is a character from the animated television series Family Guy, voiced initially by Lacey Chabert, thereafter by Mila Kunis.

#EndMegAbuse

Cut it out, Seth MacFarlane! Meg has had enough! Sometimes, he doesn't know when to kill a gag that has worn out its welcome well before the show's decline. Meg is too smart and pretty for this! It's no surprise Seth MacFarlane doesn't know how to write teenage girls! It's common knowledge!

It sucks being Meg. Living with a family that always treats her like crap, they make fun of her, abuse her, and Peter constantly farts on her. There was a time when the family cared for her, but over the years, they stopped caring.

3 Chuckie (Rugrats)

Really, his life has to be hard? He has to be afraid of everything? He has to be tormented by the evil Angelica? His mother had to leave him when he was a baby? Come on Klasky Csupo, stop picking on an innocent two-year-old!

His life isn't that hard. But still, imagine being him for one day.

I feel sorry for Chuckie. If it wasn't for Angelica, he would have had a better life with Tommy.

4 Sheldon J. Plankton (SpongeBob SquarePants) Sheldon James Plankton, or simply Plankton, is a character in the Nickelodeon animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.

Plankton is an emotionally abused, occasionally suicidal bum who can barely keep his business afloat. He is constantly mocked and hurt by someone who used to be his friend, and now he lives with a fake wife who constantly points out his failures.

What's so bad about giving him the Krabby Patty Secret Formula? Krabs getting a penny less a day?

Let's just forget all of the evil things he has done. Mr. Krabs has to blast him out of his restaurant.

5 Butters Stotch (South Park) Leopold "Butters" Stotch is a fictional character in the animated television series South Park. He is voiced by series co-creator Matt Stone and loosely based on co-producer Eric Stough.

His parents are the worst parents I have seen, at least in a cartoon. They need to be arrested. Butters needs better parents!

I feel really bad for Butters. His parents are horrible to him and always ground him for no reason.

His parents always have to abuse him.

6 Charlie Brown (Peanuts)

He's the only child who gets rocks for Halloween.

He tries so hard to do things right but always ends up failing miserably. Then he has to deal with people like Lucy who never give him a break.

7 Cody (Total Drama World Tour)

Cody had a tough time in World Tour. He was continuously stalked and harassed by Sierra, who touched his belongings. I understand he stalked Gwen two seasons prior, but Sierra took things to a new low. She never left him alone, to the point where he voted for her in every single elimination ceremony. This kind of behavior is why Tord left Eddsworld. All Cody wants is some privacy. Please leave him alone.

Poor Cody! He gets all the bad luck. He wanted to date Gwen, but she didn't like him back. He's so sweet and kind.

8 Jonathan (Rugrats)

I do feel sorry for him. His boss, Charlotte Pickles, is oblivious, gossipy, and shallow.

When he's not being screamed at by his demanding boss Charlotte, he's stuck looking out for her bratty kid Angelica.

9 Wile E. Coyote (Looney Tunes)

The Road Runner always taunts him. That's pretty mean. It's like all his actions and attempts to catch him are justified. Luckily, he does catch him in Family Guy.

Similar to Tom and Jerry, I found it frustrating to watch him continuously try and never manage to catch his nemesis.

I want Acme's favorite customer to win just once. Then again, that would make him look worse than ever.

10 Tom (Tom and Jerry) Thomas "Tom" Cat is a fictional character and one of the title characters in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's series of Tom and Jerry theatrical cartoon short films.

Childhood is when you like Jerry and admire his cleverness. Maturity is when you understand Jerry is a jerk and you feel sorry for Tom. So true!

Jerry always harms him for his own amusement.

Can't Tom truly win just once?

The Contenders
11 Kif (Futurama)

He becomes Zapp Brannigan's scapegoat anytime he screws up and always gets treated like dirt.

Zapp is such an idiot, and Kif is Amy's boyfriend. He's a good one.

12 Timmy Turner (The Fairly OddParents) Timothy "Timmy" Tiberius Turner is a ten-year old boy who is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the American animated series The Fairly OddParents created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon.

Believe me, he's a 10-year-old who often gets into dangerous situations in cartoonish ways. How does the show portray child abuse like that? I've never seen child abuse in real life, and I think this has gone too far. Getting eaten by animals (e.g., piranhas, bears, crocs), getting crushed by objects (e.g., anvils, pianos), and getting killed by people (Francis, Vicky, Crocker) is too much. I'm glad the show has toned it down a bit, but I don't think you should see a real kid getting killed in cartoonish ways. I like the show, but the writers have gone too far.

13 Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog) Courage is a fictional character and the titular main protagonist of the Cartoon Network animated series, Courage the Cowardly Dog.
14 Lindsay (Total Drama Island)

Since the beginning, Lindsay has always done whatever Heather demands from her, and all she gets in return is crap. Heather later gets her eliminated.

She should be number one! Heather used her, and I was so glad when she cussed at her. That action proves she isn't as dumb as we think she is.

She doesn't even realize when she's being taken advantage of.

15 Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory) Dexter is a fictional character and the titular main protagonist of the Cartoon Network animated series, Dexter's Laboratory.

In almost every episode, Dee Dee breaks into his lab and destroys most of his inventions.

16 Kenny McCormick (South Park) Kenneth "Kenny" McCormick is a main character in the animated adult television series South Park, along with his friends Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, and Eric Cartman.

I feel really bad for him. He always gets killed in every episode.

17 Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Phineas and Ferb)

He's too pure to be a villain. He was abused in his childhood and was forced to be the family garden gnome. His parents didn't let him play with toys.

18 Harley Quinn (Batman: The Animated Series)

She's loyal to the Joker, but he's all take and no give.

19 Edd (Ed Edd N Eddy) Edd, mostly referred to by his nickname "Double D," is one of the three protagonists in the Canadian-American animated comedy television series Ed, Edd n Eddy. He is the physically weakest but the most intelligent member of the Eds.
20 Rocko (Rocko's Modern Life) Rocko is the eponymous fictional character of the cartoon Rocko's Modern Life and the comic book series of the same name. He is an Australian anthropomorphic wallaby who immigrated to the United States. He works at a comic book store, lives next to annoying neighbors, and is friends with the gluttonous... read more

I'm convinced that the show's theme song intro sequence was actually him having a nightmare about the amount of abuse he's suffered throughout his life. And that's just the beginning of the show.

I feel so sorry for Rocko! I just want to cry for that poor wallaby! If it wasn't for Edward Bighead, Rocko would have a better life! Rocko rocks! The Bigheads suck!

Yep, it's pretty sad, but I know some people actually have it worse.

21 Shego (Kim Possible) Shego is a fictional character from Disney's animated television series Kim Possible, voiced by Nicole Sullivan.

You should have Ezekiel (Total Drama Island) as number one! He's been abused to the point of not even knowing himself!

How can she stand being Dr. Drakken's sidekick? She's better at being a villain than him and most other villain characters. She actually took over the world in A Sitch in Time, but since then, she just puts up with Drakken's stupidity and willingly follows his orders.

22 Mrs. Puff (SpongeBob SquarePants)

I feel very sorry for poor Mrs. Puff because she has to suffer through SpongeBob SquarePants, who is "unteachable" due to his boundless optimism. Also, he is a sponge and boneless, making him superficial with a huge lack of depth, like a shallow person rather than a profound one.

23 Miguel Santos (Maya & Miguel)

Maya is always dragging Miguel against his will into helping with her stupid plans, which never work.

24 Hans Moleman (The Simpsons) Hans Moleman is a recurring character on the animated television series The Simpsons. He was created by series creator Matt Groening and is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, and first appeared in the episode "Principal Charming".

This Simpson character deserves better.

25 Sideshow Mel (The Simpsons) Sideshow Mel is a character in The Simpsons. He is the sidekick of Krusty the Clown because Sideshow Bob went to jail. He first appears in the episode Itchy and Scratchy and Marge.

Sideshow Mel constantly puts up with Krusty's abuse on a daily basis.
