Top 10 Most Overrated Nicktoon Characters That Aren't From The Loud House

The Top Ten
1 Patrick - SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick Star is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants, and he is one of the 10 main characters in the show. He is voiced by actor Bill Fagerbakke, who also voices numerous other characters on the show. Created and designed by marine biologist and cartoonist Stephen Hillenburg, the series creator, Patrick first appeared on television in the show's pilot episode "Help Wanted" on May 1, 1999. ...read more.

Almost an even bigger source of memes than Spongebob himself

2 SpongeBob SquarePants - Sponge Bob SquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants is a fictional character and the titular character and protagonist of the American animated television series of the same name.

Amazingly the LEAST overrated of SBSP's top three characters in my opinion, but nevertheless, he's still ridiculously annoying and steals the spotlight from quite a few other Nickelodeon stars with FAR more developed personalities (Zim, Rocko, Ren Hoek, Jenny Wakeman, Danny Phantom, Plankton and Sandy from the EXACT same show that he comes from, etc)

If you want to make a character, you need a reason for it to be memorable. Patrick is stupid, squidward is that cranky neighbor we all know about, sandy is that sciency redneck, and mr krabs is that cheapskate who would literally kill someone for money. Spongebob has nothing to be memorable about. He's just that main character who's annoying.

He's getting kinda... More Funny but NOT FUNNIER

3 Gir - Invader Zim

Believe me, I've seen his fangirls; I KNOW

(also, he plays an alarmingly similar role in the Invader Zim series to that of the Minions in the Despicable Me series; as in HE'S AN INCREDIBLY CHEAP AND STUPID MARKETING GIMMICK ON THE CREATORS' PART)

4 Timmy Turner - Fairly Odd Parents 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.

Extremely boring, ugly and one-dimensional? CHECK

Spoiled brat that thinks he has it rough? SUPER CHECK
High-pitched and obnoxious voice? SUPER DUPER CHECK
Overshadows far more interesting characters from the same show?
CROCKER FOR EXAMPLE

5 Ren Hoek - Ren & Stimpy Show

Even though I personally find him to be really the only thing GOOD about the show besides Powdered Toast Man and maybe a few of the other side characters (most likely Wilbur Cobb), Ren is still a HILARIOUSLY overpraised character through and through nevertheless.

Granted, he IS a hilariously psychotic character with an even more hilariously top-notch set of voice actors to boot, as well as being deeply relatable to mentally deranged cynics like myself and single-handedly providing the show with pretty much ALL of its definitive highlight moments...

but like I've already said before, grotesquely expressive and "ugly in appearance yet sexy in personality" as he may be, "able to carry an entire 52-episode show on his shoulders alone with the episodes lasting nearly an entire half-hour each" he simply isn't (obviously, Rocko isn't either, but he at least gets a free pass for not being literally the ONLY character of his show's entire cast with even the slightest modicum of ...more

6 Squidward - SpongeBob SquarePants Squidward Tentacles is a fictional character voiced by actor Rodger Bumpass in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.

A much more realistic Mr. Bighead, but also a FAR less entertaining one

7 Zim - Invader Zim Zim is the titular protagonist and anti-hero of the American animated series Invader Zim, created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon.

Once again, this character is EXTREMELY stupid and annoying (in addition to coming from EASILY one of THE most cloyingly pretentious and "wannabe-edgy" cartoons ever made), but at the very least, he DOES have an actual personality and is funny for reasons that are admittedly pretty sophisticated by Nickelodeon standards (basically, he's a stereotypical Omnicidal Maniac/Large Ham villain who is so hilariously awful at his job that he ends up accidentally SAVING the world in the process of attempting to destroy it; also more-or-less an alien version of Ren from Ren & Stimpy)

8 Aang - Avatar: The Last Airbender Avatar Aang is a fictional character and the protagonist of Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender, voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen. Aang is the last surviving Airbender, a monk of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple.

Good character, yes, but you have to admit that if you've watched enough of anime, you've basically seen him in least a THOUSAND other shows (read: his "naive young boy from the farmlands who grows up to become the greatest hero the world has ever known" personality is RIDICULOUSLY generic and cliched)

Also sorely lacks the foot-fetish appeal that Toph has, just for the record

9 Doug - Doug

Doug despite being a good character he's pretty bland compared to other teenage cartoon characters like Danny Fenton, Ginger Fowltey and Luna Loud.

Bland character.

10 Tommy Pickles - Rugrats Thomas "Tommy" Malcolm Pickles is a fictional character that appears in the Nickelodeon animated television series Rugrats and its spin-off All Grown Up! as the protagonist of the shows.
The Contenders
11 Stimpy - Ren & Stimpy

Basically embodies all of the reasons why I utterly despise this show so much despite having immense respect for its massive historical relevance amongst Nickelodeon shows; in fact, the show even literally has an entire full-length episode (Stimpy's Fan Club, to be exact) dedicated SOLELY to making fun of how absurdly overrated and unfunny this character is. Let's see:

- He never says anything smart, funny or interesting
- He exists purely as generic comic relief and really nothing else
- He has only one of THE most appallingly hideous character designs I've ever seen in my life (if nothing else, at least Ren's is somewhat species-accurate)
- He's gross entirely for the sake of being gross
- Again, he overshadows many of the actually GOOD characters from Nickelodeon (also including Ren himself, just for the record)

12 Danny Phantom - Danny Phantom Daniel "Danny" Fenton, also known by his alias Danny Phantom, is the half-human/half-ghost protagonist of the television series Danny Phantom. As the ghostly superhero Danny Phantom, he protects the citizens of Amity Park from the dangerous ghosts of the Ghost Zone.
13 Arnold - Hey Arnold!
14 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.
15 Cosmo - Fairly Odd Parents Cosmo is Timmy fairy godfather. He's Wanda's husband and Poof's dad. Cosmo is very immature and stupid, but also very charming and a loving father, godfather and husband.
16 Patti Mayonnaise - Doug
17 Heffer Wolfe - Rocko's Modern Life Heffer Wolfe is a fictional character on the cartoon Rocko's Modern Life and the comic book series of the same name.

As ridiculously excellent as this show may admittedly be overall, I personally consider Heffer to be EASILY the weakest link of its main cast personality-wise (yes, he's still incredibly hilarious for what he's worth and has an astonishingly dark backstory behind the insufferably rude, immature and selfish way that he acts, but at the end of the day, he's still really just your average "fat idiot" stereotype that has appeared in about a MILLION other sitcoms from both the animated and live-action mediums alike; overall, Filburt, the Bigheads, and even Rocko himself are all MUCH funnier and have way more going on with them as characters when taking Heffer's aforementioned "raised by wolves" origins out of the equation, with Filburt's late-series marriage to Dr. Hutchison and Mr. Bighead's never-ending struggle with his OWN marriage being perfect examples)

18 Filburt - Rocko's Modern Life Filburt Shellbach is a main and supporting character of the cartoon Rocko's Modern Life and the comic book series of the same name.
19 Jimmy Neutron - Jimmy Neutron James "Jimmy" Isaac Neutron is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Jimmy Neutron franchise . He is most notably the main protagonist of the 2001 American 3D computer-animated comic science fiction film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and the main protagonist of the American computer animated television series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius created by John A. Davis.

Stop he is amazing

20 Chuckie Finster - Rugrats
21 Dib - Invader Zim
22 Helga Pataki - Hey Arnold Helga Pataki is a character from the 90s Nickelodeon cartoon Hey Arnold created by Craig Bartlett. She's known for being bossy and being a bully to most kids she encounters. However she's secretly loves Arnold despite the fact she acts bitter around him to keep her secret. She will often pull out a ...read more.
