Another Top 10 Hilarious Movie Villains

This spot is reserved for a very special bad guy; a man of many vices and extreme excess. Stuck somewhere at the crossroads of irritating, vindictive and hysterical, this pint-sized villain constantly proves to be the bringer of misfortune to the Wolf Pack, otherwise known as Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug. An international criminal in the drug world, and one with a unique sense of style – that is, when he’s actually wearing clothes – Mr. Chow is definitely the most unpredictable bad guy on our list – partly because he keeps going from antagonist to protagonist and back again, and partly because he’s on a lot of drugs.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts, okay Bradley Cooper? In this film, the usually likeable hottie reveals how ugly he can be by playing the aggressive all-American jock who’s only using his sweet girlfriend to cozy up to her powerful dad. There’s no way a guy who is that much of a lying cheater could possibly deserve someone like Rachel McAdams, but what makes us curl our fists is that he’s not even with her for the right reasons. However, the over-the-top asshole antics of this grownup stereotypical frat boy manages to make an ass of himself while competing for Clare’s love – and that’s what makes us laugh the most.

We’ve all had the awkward “ex” conversation with our significant other, but this is on a whole different level. What is it about Ramona Flowers that has not one, not two, but seven jealous super-villains bent on destroying any chance she has of future happiness? In this film, Scott Pilgrim, who has a few magical tricks up his own sleeve, has to prove not only his love for Ramona but also his own self-worth by besting kooky ex-lovers that range from the mystical, to the action hero, to the telekinetic vegan, to twins, and more. Fortunately for Scott, they all have their own weaknesses.

These Disney baddies come in a pair, and while Yzma is definitely on a different level in her villainy, we just can’t forget her big, dumb, lovable oaf sidekick. Emperor Kuzco’s second-in-command is just your good old-fashioned villain seeking glory and riches at the expense of human lives. Kronk is hardy of the same caliber, but their dysfunctional relationship keeps us laughing and even taking a little pity on Yzma, who just can’t seem to get the help she wants. After all, she’s just as gentle as a kitten, isn’t she?

Could there be anything more evil than a pair of figure skating siblings defending their championship? These two give us chills on and off the ice, but it’s not exactly for their terrifying abilities; these brats will do everything to get to the top of competitive ice-skating, except, of course, any real honest work. They’re spoiled, unreasonable and manipulative; but they have a wicked sense of style, as any Will Ferrell movie villain would. Honestly, they’re so evil – yet hilarious – it’s mind bottling.

Anyone who’s familiar with Wallace Shawn’s work would, understandably, find it inconceivable to take this 5’2” comedian seriously as a villain, since his claim to fame is that lisping manner of speaking of his. But that, in a way, makes him the perfect casting choice to play the arrogant, Napoleonic thief bent on kidnapping Princess Buttercup for a handsome reward. His hubris leads to his downfall, however, when he thinks he can outsmart the incomparable Dread Pirate Roberts. Vizzini is a villain who crawls under our skin, but makes us laugh the whole time.

Yet another villain in a Will Ferrell flick, Derek is Brennan Huff’s utterly detestable younger brother, Derek, who not only inherited the good looks and the smarts in the family, but is also wildly successful and driven and basically everything Will Ferrell’s character is not. What makes him even more annoying is that he loves to rub it in his brother’s face. Played by Adam Scott who’s known for his corporate douche roles, Derek represents the unfairness and randomness of genetics and the sad reality that you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your family.

Ron Burgundy’s arch nemesis is a little like Vince Vaughn himself: we can’t stand him but we know he’s necessary… We’re just kidding. In this film, Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 evening news team can’t shake the one-upmanship of Channel 9’s Wes Mantooth and his band of cronies, as they’re always trying to make the guys miserable. The rivalry between Burgundy and Mantooth runs deep, and their animosity reaches its peak in the epic newsman street fight. But by the end, Wes proves himself to be at least a decent human being. As long as you leave the mothers out of this.

He’s a sumo wrestling, baby eating, mojo-stealing Fat Bastard of a man. Weighing one-metric ton when we meet him, he spies, he eats, he farts, he eats some more. While we almost went with roller-skating and skin-box keeping Goldmember, Fat Bastard is the one who made us laugh even harder – in spite of ourselves. Sure, he’s… quite something to look at, but it’s not just that: he’s an attack on all senses, to the point that we can almost smell him. But it is Mike Meyers in a fat suit with a Shrek-y Scottish accent, so no matter how gross he is, we can only dislike him so much.

This division VP at Initech is just the kinda superior we’d hate to work for. But the reason this corporate stooge makes us both clench our teeth and laugh out loud is that, in the real world, there are a million Bill Lumberghs passive-aggressively asking us to work weekends and to fill out meaningless reports. We don’t know if we should laugh or cry at the fact that we can actually relate to these characters who’ve had enough of being overworked and underappreciated. Bill Lumbergh, on behalf of every nine-to-fiver who’s ever had to deal with your kind of micromanaging and political correctness, if you could go ahead and eff right off, that’d be great.
