No sound travels up my spinal cord and jars my brain more than the sound of the big purple dinosaur, Barney’s, laugh.
A vote for Scrappy here. Star Wars had oddball critters from the beginning–Chewy and the aliens in the Cantina scene in the first movie, Tom-tons and Yoda in the second, Jabba and Ewoks in the third. (Incidentally, this is why IMHO Empire Strikes Back is the best so far–it had the least gibberish of any of the movies, it had the best light saber battle (just edging out Phantom Menace), and there was NO Death Star or equivalent.) Jar-Jar was not unlike the Ewoks as far as I was concerned, neither of them very good, but not enough to ruin the movie.
Scrappy, on the other hand, is one of Satan’s evil minions.
Scrappy, he put the “crap” in crappy! Hate that little smart ass dog!
The worse by far is Scrappy. While Jar-Jar was annoying, Scrappy just makes me shiver with disgust.
Jar-Jar! in the name of all the gods and godessess that ever were or ever will be, Jar-jar!
Hmmm… thoughts of a parody based on This jesus Must die, featuring everyone’s favorite [sarcasm] Gungan…
Wesley crusher and Scrappy didn’t raise hackles every time they opened their racist stereotype mouths.
And my friend insists Jar-jar will end up becoming a jedi. if so, maybe he can have a little accident and put his lightsaber right through his vocal cords.
Oh jar-jar, c’mere. I have a friend for you to play with…
jar-jar: Okeday! what you wantin?
Dalek: HALT! DO NOT MOVE! EXTERMINATE! (zap!)
Would it be at all possible to have Brainy Smurf sitting on Jar-Jar’s lap when the switch gets pulled?
How 'bout Bat-Mite?
what about Lisa Simpson. If I hear that bra burning twat complain one more time, I’m going round to the studio with a chain saw.
To quote The Brunching Shuttlecocks:
Truly, Scrappy must die.
Oh, muy muy – mesa love Jar Jar Binks! On the other hand, I’m an animal advocate…let’s compromise, Inspector Gadget. Go, Go, Gadget, you go to hell! ZAP!
I think a formula must be devised here. Something like:
(level of character’s offensiveness X quality of original program/movie) X quantity of market instrusion of character products (i.e., how frequently and obnoxiously are you reminded of the character’s existence?).
thus:
- Jarjar (electrocution is too good for this foul creature);
- Elmo (how do you make a seriously irritating muppet go ‘woof’? Douse it in gasoline and set a match to it.);
- Will Wheaties a.k.a. Wesley Crusher;
- Scrappy Doo (the show already sucked);
- Barney (this character, while utterly insufferable, introduced it’s own series, so didn’t destroy an already existing one).
Scrappy.
No doubt about it.
If there is any character so annoying, so badly-drawn, so completely unnecessary to the plot, that it could make me grab for the remote control so fast that I pop my shoulder blade out of the socket, it’s Scrappy-Doo. (Hurt like hell, too. Gave the people at the emergency room something to laugh about.)
Second place goes to the Great Gazoo.
That would allow me to split the charge and put each in a period of horrible agony and possibly cause permanent injury to both of them. Sounds pretty good.
::Cough, cough:: IMHO ::cough, cough::
Scrappy must die. Both were equally irritating. Like a piece of sand in your eye. No matter how hard you tried, you can’t ignore them and you can’t get rid of them. That said, Jar Jar was only in parts of the movie while every episode with Scrappy had him on the screen just as much as Scooby and Shaggy. The sheer amount of screen time meens Scrappy must die. NOW!
Scrappy Doo is by far the worst character of one of the worst cartoons ever. The entire Scooby Doo crew should catch yellow fever and die.
I didn’t find Jar Jar that bad, but then, few in the audience knew who Andy Devine, Walter Brennan, or Gabby Hayes was.
I don’t mind Wesley all that much after getting to meet Wil Wheaton online, and his comment that everyone in the cast knew the scripts in the first season of STTNG were lousy.
Another vote for Jar Jar Binks. <shudder>
<shudder>
He is an insult even to Ewoks…
Hey now! Geez, even right after I had a guest shot on The Simpsons last night?
Scrappy, by a mile.
And what idiot let the charge run down during an important exectution like this? They should be flogged!
HOW can you jabber about dogs & Gungans when the EVIL of ERKL (sp? Urkl?) still walks the earth?
You’re confusing yourself with Osmodiar, a little green alien only Homer can see.
