13 Cartoon Villians (cue evil cackling)
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007
Storytellers know that every story must have an antagonist. Every hero must face a villain in order to emerge victorious. Here are some of my favourite animated villains. Do you ever find yourself rooting for the villain? Sometimes those heroes are just too nice!
I’m a child of the 80s, so most of these are from that era. Can you add any to the list?
1. Gargarmel from the Smurfs. I used to love the Smurfs, in fact I used to have a special dance that I would do in front of the telly when the show came on. My folks still tease me about it.
2. Mojojojo from the Power Puff Girls. What’s not to love about an evil brainy monkey? 
3. Dick Darstardly and his untrusty sidekick Muttley from Wacky Races. “Drat, drat and double drat!”
4. Shendu from the Jackie Chan Adventures. How many times can a demon return from oblivion?
5. Charles Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons.
“Excellent! Release the flying monkeys!”
6. Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons. I loved that Cape Fear episode.
7. The Red Guy from Cow and Chicken. Will he ever cover up that red butt!
8. Baron Silas Greenback from Danger Mouse. The world’s most villainous toad.
9. Dr Claw from Inspector Gadget. “I’ll get you next time Gadget, next time!”
10. Skeletor from the Adventures of He-Man and She-Ra. Ugly skull-face aside, I recently noticed his meaty body…
11. Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. An evil ninja, the best kind.
12. Mom from Futurama. My Idol.
Queen of Robotkind, she was also a sexy mama, back in da day.-716944.jpg)
13. Cruella DeVil from 101 Dalmations.
Sure, dogs may poop all over the place, but there’s no need to take it out on their skin… 
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged!

oh, you brought back some memories!
Skeletor (I had a crush on He-Man when I was a teen, how warped is that?) and Gargamel, LOL!
9:50 pm on 8-Mar-07
I had to scroll past Mojo Jojo real fast before my daughter saw him! And you’re totally right about Skeletor’s bod. I’d never looked, either. That face is mesmerizing.
(none of those guys/girls are as great as the iBod, though!)
Happy TT!

Without evil there would be no good, or is that the other way around. I am always up to no good which is bad, so there must not be any good.
I enjoyed your list and ‘evil cackled’ right along with you.

If you get into the Disney villans, there’s tons just right there.
Scar, that octopus lady from The Little Mermaid. All those namless evil stepmothers.
I love that you had the red guy from Cow and Chicken in there. I used to LOVE Cow and Chicken.

Happy weekend

My sister grew up in 80’s and I grew up in the 90’s. I must say I love your selection! My favorite Smurfs episodes involve Gargamel and Azrael.
Extra pork butt points for including The Red Guy!
Cruella DeVil had the best song.
