Actually, I would think that a US General in charge of an entire air wing of Nuclear Armed B-52 bombers, and who is completely insane, is quite disturbing.
On the other hand, I can think of a number off **Final Fantasy ** Villians that were quite pathetic. Gilgamesh was one, and so was Ultros. Not to mention a number of the Shinra people(Except for the Turks, who at least managed to destory Sector 7).
The transvestite with a tail, I forget his name, from FFIX comes to mind.
I think there’s some kind of rule that TV cartoon villians have to be incompetent. Wouldn’t want the kiddies fantasizing about growing up to be Gargamel, would you? Of course there’s a long tradition of incompetent cartoon villains going back to the earliest Warner Brothers cartoons.
Syndrome, from the Incredibles?
Also, Bomb Voyage.

Darkseid from the Super Powers toons. He could never get anything done and for some reason (entirely understandable at first, but bizarre and pathetic in its duration) was fixated on Wonder Woman.
The later incarnation on the Justice League toons was way scarier.
Considering he had the smarts to invent all those gadgets, and the brains to amass a fortune to build an island lair, I don’t think he qualifies as a “loser”.
That one, I’ll grant you. The guy struck me as Paste-Pot Pete (a real loser if I ever saw one) with more explosives.
Benita Bizarre. She can kidnap the Bugaloos pretty much at will, and her top sidekick is a Nutcracker reject. If she’d been halfway competent she would have had those fucking pests pinned to cork by the midpoint of the first episode.
I think this character from an old spiderman comic speaks for itself. The idea behind the story isn’t bad - a villan that morphs into signs of the Zodiac. Then you get to this page…
I always thought Lurtz from Fellowship of the Ring was a bad-ass mofo while Gothmog from Return of the King I could not take seriously because he looked too much like Sloth from The Goonies.
(sorry…)
That should be Sloth from The Goonies.
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the biggest loser villain of all time:
Swiper the loser fox from Dora the Explorer.
Come on! He’s a wimp. All you have to do to keep him from his evil doing is yell “Swiper, no swiping!” a couple times and he doesn’t swipe. He whines but he doesn’t swipe. My dog that has seizures had better resolve than that!
And, oh, did I forget to mention, that’s his evil doing - swiping. And it’s crap like five blueberries that he’s swiping, not plutonium or anything.
Plus, he can be a real asshole sometimes. Occassionally Dora and Boots won’t stop him in time and he will swipe and then, when they do catch him, he throws the item so they have to go find it. Christ on a pony! Either keep it or give it back but don’t be a sore loser, you stupid swiping fox!
Friggin’ loser.
I know it’s generally bad form to unnecessarily point out people’s little literary foibles and malapropisms, but I LOVE THIS. (I am not being sarcastic. I think “pantywaste” is a much more vicious insult than the rather tame “pantywaist”.
Sorry for the hijack. Carry on.
Count Olaf. It’s 11 books so far and he still hasn’t managed to grab the Baudelaire fortune?

This cracked me the hell up. Very funny.
the nazguls from the movie LOTR. nine of them couldn’t handle one aragorn, nor their captain a girl.
The seventh one had a great rack, though.

I still believe the chant is a magic incantation that sends him back to whatever Lesser Plane of Heck (it’s a kid’s show) he comes from. 
You need to watch the episode entitled, “Dora’s Nuclear Reactor.”
And that’s why it’s a satire, like you said. It’s supposed to be ridiculous.
The silly ball of evil goo from the Fifth Element.
“Mr. Zorg, scary ball of goo on the line for you!”
“Damn that oil slick. I just had this plastic headpiece windexed! Ah well, put him through. He pays the bills after all.”
