Top 10 Cartoon Episodes Where a Character is at Their Worst

We've all seen it before where one specific character in a particular episode acts so out of character or just plain horrible that more often than not make the episode so unbearable to watch, for this list we are going to be looking at episodes from cartoons and anime where one or more characters are at their absolute worst.
The Top Ten
1 Ren Seeks Help - Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon

Do I really need to say anything at this point, Ren in this episode is nothing like the Ren we've seen in the original Ren and Stimpy series in this episode Ren is a vile, sick and twisted individual who enjoys torturing characters just out of malice, he even tortures a frog in very gruesome and grotesque ways like pitting it against a wall with his bike and causing its guts and intestines to spew out he even shoves a firework up its butt and it explodes and even hooks it to a car battery and horribly electrocutes it and just when Ren is about to kill him off for good the frog happily prepares to die wanting to put an end to the pain and suffering Ren has caused him Ren then refuses since it now takes all the fun out of killing him.

2 One Coarse Meal - SpongeBob SquarePants

As I said before, this made the Simpsons' Boys of Bummer look masterful by comparison. And the points Mr. Krabs is supposed to be the good guy. The writers however think that because he is supposedly the good guy, that driving someone to suicide is okay because the person is the villain. Instead I feel bad for Plankton who is supposed to be the villain.

Out of all the horrible and illegal things Mr. Krabs has done over the years this one really takes the cake as Krabs horribly stalks and torments Plankton by pretending to be Pearl who Plankton is deathly afraid of until he's emotionally scarred and wants to end his life all while Krabs laughs at Plankton's misery.

This was so inappropriate for children to see and it should be banned

3 The True Meaning of Christmas - Teen Titans Go!
4 Brian Writes a Bestseller - Family Guy

Brian arrogant as usual

5 The Card - SpongeBob SquarePants

Patrick holds on to a rare card that Sponge Bob wanted and destroys it all while Sponge Bob watches and even admits that he's doing all this on purpose.

I think Pet Sitter Pat is where Patrick is at his worst, but this episode was still up there.

As Mr Enter said, this made people think Patrick was doing all of those stupid things on purpose

6 No Such Luck - The Loud House

The episode where Lincoln's family hated him for thinking he is "BAD LUCK"! I wish Lincoln would just leave them & stay at Clyde's home & be his adoptive brother so that his real family would realize what they have done to their ONLY son. THEY TREATED HIM LIKE AN OUTCAST! LOUD HOUSE?! MORE LIKE FRAUD HOUSE!

Why does Lincoln put up with the Loud Family? He should leave and go to a better home, maybe he should live with the Sesame Street characters! They would never say he's bad luck!

Lincoln Loud should go to the home of the Nara Dreamland Mascots!

7 Little Yellow Book - SpongeBob SquarePants

This is where Squidward is at his worst. HIS HIGHEST WORST! He read SpongeBob's diary, laughed, told everyone, did not care, read his other diary, got punished but STILL did NOT care AT ALL!

Squidward reads Sponge Bobs diary in front of everyone and when Sponge Bob finds out everyone turns on Squidward while is not the least bit sorry for what he did.

This show is so messed up

8 So Funny I Forgot to Laugh - Arthur

I didn't think it was possible to make Arthur this unlikable, Sue Ellen comes to school wearing a new coats she got from her pen pal and Arthur jokes about how it makes her look like a sheep dog which everyone at first thinks it's funny until Arthur continues to make fun of Sue Ellen even calling her a Sheep Dog until it stops being funny and starts becoming more like bullying, Sue Ellen tells him to stop and he doesn't then Mr. Ratburn intervenes forcing Arthur to write a apology letter to Sue Ellen which he does but doesn't feel sorry at all and instead blames Sue Ellen for overreacting he then sends a picture of her with a dog's head which makes her cry and Arthur finally realizes the harm he's done to her when Francine and Muffy tell him that she's asking to switch classes due to his bullying, a huge missed opportunity was one of the characters reminding Arthur of how he felt when everyone made fun of him for when he started wearing glasses.

9 Frost & Fire - Adventure Time

As much as I love Finn as a character, he's pretty unlikable in this episode. At least he matured and owned up to his mistakes later on in the show. His apology to Flame Princess was a great moment in Adventure Time's long history.

The only episode I still hate.

10 Carl Wheezer, Boy Genius - Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius

The "I'm with Stupid" of Jimmy Neutron that carries over the same problems from the Sponge Bob episode, Carl lies to his pen pal about being a genius and Jimmy tries to help him and treated horribly by Carl who berates and blames him when ever he puts everyone in danger and Jimmy has to save everyone even worst in the end he never apologizes to Jimmy for all he put him through.

The Contenders
11 D.W's Very Bad Mood - Arthur
12 Goodbye Normal Jeans - King of the Hill

Peggy Hill at her worst, she becomes incredibly jealous of Bobby thinking that he's trying to take her place in the kitchen and in the home despite that he's only doing all theses things just to pass a class she even resorts to stealing a turkey Bobby was making for Thanksgiving.

13 Fool Me Twice - The Loud House

In an attempt to avoid Luan's pranking on April Fools Day the family hire stunt doubles to take their place but it horribly back fires as Luan for reasons that made not sense finds out about their plan and uses the stunt doubles to pose as the family and horribly embarrass them in front of their friends but at least the family gets back at her by making her cry by pretending that they're moving away.

I like this episode but I hate that ending

Horrible Episode!

14 Cruisin' for a Losin' - Pokemon Advanced Challenge

May at her worst Ash tries to give advice to Savannah one of the participates and a character who was in the previous episode and is in the contest in which May is competing in and May just berates him for no reason what so ever telling him he has no business since he doesn't compete in contest than during May and Savannah's battle she is super harsh on her Bulbasaur the judges call the match giving the win to Savannah and when May protests saying she's not done battling she is rightfully scolded by the judges for being so hard on her Pokemon.

I agree with this one, may was being quite selfish.

15 Pet Sitter Pat - SpongeBob SquarePants

A sequel to A Pal for Gary... but Band Geeks doesn't get a sequel? So unfair!

Even One Coarse Meal got a sequel (Ink Lemonade)

16 Let’s Play Courtroom Drama - Kaeloo

Thank goodness this wasn't the first episode I saw. If it was, I would've had a negative impression of the series for life. It's actually a great show, and even this episode was pretty good until that horrible ending ruined it.

Kaeloo physically and emotionally hurts Mr. Cat and shows no remorse for it, even though Mr. Cat clearly felt bad when he thought HE had hurt HER. One of the worst "Kaeloo favoritizes Quack Quack over Mr. Cat" episodes of the show.

After watching this, I can understand why some people hate Kaeloo (the character, not the cartoon) and feel that Mr. Cat is a much better person than her.

17 A Pal for Gary - SpongeBob SquarePants

Spongebob has never been that stupid, just how and why did the writers make him that stupid.

18 The Return of Slade - Teen Titans Go!

Beast Boy and Cyborg at the worst. They'e the cause of all the ruckus in the town by making that clown.

19 Lisa the Vegetarian - The Simpsons

Lisa at the nadir of her downward spiral into a liberal mouthpiece. The whole time I watched this episode, how I wished Homer would strangle HER for once.

Lisa was completely intolerant of other people's beliefs.

20 Student Teacher - Hey Arnold

To Helga's horror her sister Olga becomes a student teacher for her class and a series of events Olga tells the whole class that Helga was a bed wetter and eveyrone makes fun of her and when Harold points to Helga calling her a bed wetter Helga tries to retaliate and is punished by Olga without even hearing her side of things anf gives her detention for a whole week.

Screw Olga. She already knows Helga has it worse than her, and she still does this

21 The Boys of Bummer - The Simpsons

Nearly every single character in the show, with the slight exception of Marge (and MAYBE Homer but only because he was too busy testing mattresses or whatever the B plot involving him was), was definitely at their worst here.

I HATE This episode, shame it came out the same year as the movie.

22 Brother, Can You Spare a Clarinet? - Arthur

This episode, I have mixed feelings about. I DID feel for Binky when he didn't understand the fact that his parents weren't getting him the new clarinet because they couldn't AFFORD one. But I DIDN'T like how the writers made Binky take his anger out and get away with it. They could of used good ideas that were wasted in bad episodes prior. If Binky was being made fun of just because he was a really good musician by his tough customers (his friends,) and was dared to sabotage the other kids instruments (very similar to ARTHUR'S BIG HIT,) that could've been a good explanation, and later on in the episode Arthur, Alan (Brain,) and Buster find out why he's been acting this way and get it out of him and he admits it. Then Brain says that just because his friends make fun of him doesn't mean he has to stop doing what he likes and they're just jealous because THEY can't perform that well, Arthur could've said what the clear moral should've been "You shouldn't care what others think of what you like to do, a.k.a do what you love, love what you do." Then there could've been the orchestra auditions and have some kids play decent some okay and have Muffy play AFUWL just like in the episode only with a spin on it showing that she hasn't practiced in ages and then Binky auditions and it's just beautiful and he gets the part and THEN Arthur praises Binky. ANOTHER way they could've done this is have the entire episode go as is and just take out the part where Binky sabotages the instruments or is a jerk and have Arthur Brain and Buster try to figure out what's wrong with him and they manage to get him to tell them and is NOT a spoiled brat and just gave up on music instead of being angry that his parents couldn't afford a new one (Very similar to D.W.'S VERY BAD MOOD, another infamous episode.) See? This could've been done right. The first way would be called "Musical Mischief" instead of the original title, and the second way could've been called the original title. Thanks for... more

23 Ink Lemonade - Spongebob SquarePants

Nobody cares their drinking squidward ink in till. Squidward shows them and they vomit in his house and patrick and spongebob don’t agoligise and feed him spider cookies

24 Catboy and Master Fang's Sword - P.J. Masks

Made everyone as terrible as Catboy, and a horrible message about emotions over-all.

25 The Cutie Re-Mark Part 2 - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

WAAHH! We should really feel sorry for Starlight Glimmer, a pony who murdered thousands of innocents and almost wrecked Equestria for good multiple times, BECAUSE HER FRIEND MOVED AWAY! WAAHH! Screw Starlight Glimmer and also screw John "Dumbass" Haber for writing this episode
