I’ve been watching the reruns of The Family Guy on Cartoon Network and Stewie is by far the best part of the show! He’s a great villian! Stewie seems to be evil just for the sheer fun of it. You can tell that Seth MacFarlane really enjoyed doing the voice of Stewie, just by the tone of his voice. Any other villians out there like him, who are evil, just cause it’s so much fun?
I like Frank from “Blue Velvet”. Fun to party with till you got on his bad side.
Never kiss an animal that can lick its own butt.
Having just finished renting through the season 3 Buffy set, I have to give props to The Mayor. Frankly, the only times he stopped being so interesting was when they tried to portray him as losing his temper. And that final transformation gig, of course.
He should have been a behind-the-scenes nemesis from season one, darn it.
Thanks, Drastic, you just made me remember a great moment:
“I’ve got something that will take all your cares away. Two words: Miniature…Golf!”
And Dru and Spike in Season 2 were fun, in a psycho lovefest kind of way. Too bad Angelus had to come in and make everything so serious.
I liked the poetic fiend in the grailquest books. He sat in a crypt and bothered the protagonist with horribly constructed rhymes, like “It isn’t the cough that carries you off… It’s the coffin they carry you off in!”.
Hillarious, I am telling you!
Do you mean “out there” in TV land or “out there” in general?
Because George R. R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” books have a deliciously evil villain in the character of Littlefinger. Machiavelli ain’t got nothing on this guy.
Q
From “Monty Python’s Holy Grail”:
The Knights who say “Nee!”
The fourscore defenseless fair maidens of the castle Anthrax, all between the ages of fifteen and nineteen and a half, who spend their lonely days dressing, undressing, knitting exciting underwear, and getting spanked.
From “the Simpsons”:
Mr. Burns
the Texas-oil millionaire guy
Reverend Lovejoy’s boarding-school daughter
Nelson Muntz & Jimbo Jones & Curly
from “Buffy”:
I gotta admit to liking Glory, the out of control diva/ goddess and her boot-lickin’, brown-nosin’ servants.
And the vampire Willow was a lot more fun than the evil Wicca Willow.
The greatest villain of them all has to be Dick Dastardly.
Though not completely a villain, Snapes from Harry Potter, is wonderfully villainous.
Migualito (sp?) Lovelace. From Wild, Wild West.
Inventor, Evil Genius, Dwarf. Always surrounded by beautiful women willingly assisting him in his plots to take over the World.
Villians make or break a story. W/o a good villian the hero comes off either as a bully or pointless. Villians are usually my favorites.
I prefer villians who aren’t totally and clearly evil.
Kirk Douglas…as Cactus Jack in the aptly named The Villain. A very funny movie. Think of Cactus Jack as the Roadrunner. On which the character is based I’m sure.
Vizzini the Sicilian from “The Princess Bride”
Simon Barsinister from “Underdog.”
Snidely Wiplash from “Dudley Do-Right.”
Davros, creator of the Daleks, from “Dr. Who.” Also the Master, of course.
And how can we omit Doctor Evil?
Wow… loads of great answers. Mr. Burns and Snape rank right up there. Vizinni, as well as Prince Humperdink and Count Tyrone Rugen (The Six Fingered Man) are all great villians.
I’d like to add Ian McKellen playing the title roll in Richard III as one of my all time favorites. He really does seem to be enjoying himself.
Prince Humperdinck: Tyrone, you know how much I love watching you work. But I’ve got my country’s 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I’m swamped!
Count Rugen: Get some rest. If you haven’t got your health, you haven’t got anything.
Richard III: Conscience is but a word cowards use
Harcourt Fenton Mudd?
Satan - from the book of Job.
Or Satan from Paradise Lost
Iago ( Othello) and Edmund ( King Lear) are the great Shakespearean villains.
Judge Holden is just a bit too frightening to be fun.
Count Olaf
Mrs Coulter
Magneto. He knows what he wants, and will stop at nothing to get it.
Give it up for Alan Rickman in most anything…Tony Head, take notes from his Brit cool.
