Line 420:
* [[Big Bad|General Specific]] from ''[[Sheep in The Big City]]''. To put it bluntly, how hard could it be to catch one sheep in a city where nobody likes sheep? Well, this guy spends the whole series trying and failing to do so.
* Downplayed with Boogey from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]''. He has indeed done quite a few evil things that had long-lasting repercussions for members of the cast, mostly due to his petty grudge against Grim. However, when you take his true goal - wanting to be the scariest of all monsters - into consideration, he’s a failure, because well, he’s just not scary. Grim claims butterflies are scarier than he is, Mandy claims marshmallows are scarier, and even his henchman [[The Dragon|Mr. Creeper]] isn’t afraid to tell him he can't think of a monster that is ''less'' scary than Boogey is. In fact, in the movie (where the [[MacGuffin|Horror’s Hand]] puts the cast through an [[I Know What You Fear]] scenario) it is revealed that Boogey’s greatest fear is realizing he isn’t scary.
* The Ape Man from the original ''[[Scooby-Doo|Scooby-Doo Where Are You?]]''. One of the biggest strengths of this cartoon was the creativity of the bad guys, but this was… just a gorilla. Naturally, it was in fact [[Scooby-Doo Hoax|a crook dressed like a gorilla]], but he did the dumbest thing any villain did in this show, remove his mask when he thought nobody was looking! This let Shaggy take his picture, leading to the others easily identifying him, made even easier by the fact that he was the only bald guy in the episode. Plus there was his incredibly pathetic motive, revenge against a movie director for not giving him the lead role in a movie. It was a low budget horror B-movie! How petty can you get?
