#10: Bulk & Skull
“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” (1993-95)
These Mighty Morphin monsters of mayhem were less GQ in style and more Wal-Mart Discount Rack. With names like Farkas Bulkmeier and Eugene Skullovitch, the two slap-stickers released their name aggression upon the Power Rangers and delivered sharp zingers aplenty before loading up on more hair gel. Their egos were more epic than Bulk’s ponytail and they arrived on the scene with their own musical score. Portrayed by Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy, “Bulk and Skull” offered comic relief and questionable style.
#9: Nellie Oleson
“Little House on the Prairie” (1974-83)
Don’t confuse this 19th century Minnesota woman with hip-hop star Nelly or pop artist Nelly Furtado, or she will cut you. Seriously, she will find you. As the most manipulative woman of Walnut Grove, Nellie Oleson blinded her enemies with golden locks created by the gods and engaged in verbal warfare with sweet ol’ Laura Ingalls. Actress Alison Arngrim starred as the scheming schoolgirl and she was the Queen Bee of the Heartland. If you’re not convinced of her legacy, try saying her name three times into a mirror. Whoa, Nelly.
#8: Alan White
“Freaks and Geeks” (1999-2000)
It’s not easy to stand out alongside talented actors such as James Franco, Jason Segel and Seth Rogen, but this jealous bully demanded attention – mostly because of his aggressive striped shirt. He was a Twinkie-smasher and often threatened physical violence, but at the end of the day, all Mr. White really wanted was a friend. Chauncey Leopardi played the lonely master of verbal assaults on Paul Feig’s brilliant series, which sadly only lasted 18 episodes.
#7: Gary Oak
“Pokémon” (1998-)
Why would anyone want to mess with someone named Ash? This animated bully had dreams of Pokémon wizardry and devoted groupies – and guess what? His dreams came true. But not without a price. Nobody likes an arrogant Pokémon master-turned researcher, and it took many trials and tribulations for Gary Oak to realize this. He knocked heads with Ash but ultimately learned to respect him as an equal Pokémon pal, and together they rode valiantly into war against Pokémon hunters. “Friends to the end.”
#6: Helga Pataki
“Hey Arnold!” (1996–2004)
You know you’re a bully when you name your own fists “Ol’ Betsy” and “The Five Avengers.” While Helga Pataki doesn’t have the maturity of fellow unibrow’d female Frida Kahlo, she definitely has a fondness for poetic soliloquies and the arts. Even though her amazing yellow hair could literally cut cheese, her fierce zingers are even sharper. Sure, Helga spends more time loafing around in emotional slumbers, but when she commits herself to something – she is on point. Respect the brow.
#5: Wayne Arnold
“The Wonder Years” (1988–93)
What kind of an older brother would he be if he didn’t dole out a steady dose of bullying? Meet Wayne Arnold: hair spray enthusiast and loyal devotee of the “scrote” insult. His game with the ladies could be categorized somewhere between “weak” and “devastatingly weak,” and he unleashed his fury upon smaller brother Kev and his slender friend Paul, who may or may not be Marilyn Manson. Just like most big bros, Wayne often regrets being a pain in the butt, BUT – his inherent douchiness is a wonder in itself.
#4: Reese
“Malcolm in the Middle” (2000–06)
Played by actor Justin Berfield, this virginal ball of anger kicked the doctor while coming out of the womb. Yes, Reese Wilkerson was born to be bad and he’s proud to bang away on the heads of kids around town. Despite all his violent antics, Reese is the male version of Giada de Laurentiis in the kitchen and might even be a genius like his brothers. Well, perhaps not, but his idiotic plans take a tremendous amount of commitment and sacrifice. Just like when his own mother personally escorted him back home from Afghanistan.
#3: Angelica Pickles
“Rugrats” (1991–2004)
This pig-tailed brat enjoys terrorizing infants and having imaginary conversations with her ugly doll. (Ahem) Actually – sorry Angelica – she’s quite fond of her fellow toddlers even if that’s her only redeeming quality. Her singing voice needs work and most characters flee with fury when she approaches. Maybe it’s the pigtails or her utterly annoying demeanor, or maybe it’s that she’s a spoiled bully who likes to make life miserable for others. Love or hate her, Angelia Pickles will undoubtedly drive you crazy if given the opportunity.
#2: Eric Cartman
“South Park” (1997-)
He’s a plump little cartoon fatty with a potty mouth worse than your drunk uncle. Eric Cartman is by far the most ridiculous kid in South Park, but who can blame him for being a bully since his first appearance was in the episode titled “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe”? He’s the “American Psycho” of cartoon kids and his complete lunacy becomes worse with each hilarious season. Perhaps he could use a crash-course in personal tact, but then again, he would probably CRASH the COURSE one way or another.
Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Harley Keiner
“Boy Meets World” (1993–2000)
- Sam Puckett
“iCarly” (2007–12)
- Gelman
“Recess” (1997-2001)
- Todd Packer
“The Office” (2005–13)
#1: Nelson Muntz
“The Simpsons” (1989-)
His father allegedly turned into an Elephant Man after eating bad chocolate and his mother is an alcoholic prostitute. So, how else do you think Nelson Muntz would spend his time? This bully has gone through numerous changes over the years, but his wrath has been felt by many. Then again, his own diaper rash most likely played a part in many social breakdowns. Nelson has delivered numerous beat downs to the wise-ass named Bart Simpson, and he often defends himself with his own kind of reason. He’s a cackling a cartoon and we love to hate him.
