** Grace has gained her share of haters ever since the birthday party, where her [[Mary Sue]] tendencies were kicked into high gear.
* ''[[Achewood]]'' fans have found their Scrappy in Showbiz, Roast Beef's scuzzy, trailer-trash twin brother. Before, he was simply a thickheaded, vulgar [[Jerkass]] in way too much debt, but he then degraded into a man who was not above plotting to force his brother into sex with a stripper, only to ''photograph the affair'' and then show the resulting photos to Molly ''at their wedding ceremony''. Thankfully, his plans were derailed when Beef lured him into a trap that would have him serve jail time for the duration of the wedding, and he hasn't been seen since.

* Zillion from ''[[Starslip Crisis]]''. The main point of the character was to serve as a parody''/''[[Take That]] to ''[[Firefly]]'', in particular the show's use of [[Future Slang]], the strip's author's main peeve with the show. He accomplished this by having Zillion speak almost entirely in "Deep Slang", a dialect that, amongst other things, replaces words with bizarre synonyms and dropping the ending off sentences. Unfortunately, said slang became increasingly heavy, making Zillion borderline [[The Unintelligible|Unintelligible]]...''even to the other characters in the strip.'' The fact that he had virtually zero personality also contributed to people tiring of him very quickly. Eventually, he suffered an apparent [[Dropped a Bridge
* [[Fish People|Des]] from ''[[Scary Go Round]]'' is apparently one of these, [http://sgrblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/yore-questiens-answerd.html according to John Allison.] Because of this, his backstory was never properly revealed, and it looks doubtful that it ever will be.

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Yoshi]] of ''[[General Protection Fault]]'', according to the author, annoyed quite a few readers in his inception. It also helps that his somewhat arrogant and obnoxious personality results in him not getting along with much of the rest of the cast.
* [[Word of God]] has it that [[Order of the Stick|Miko Miyazaki]] was a deliberate attempt to create a [[Lawful Good]] character who could be seen as a villain. It was [[Knight Templar|undeniably successful]], but her [[Holier Than Thou]] attitude was so irritating that a fair number of people complained about her even existing. On the plus side, she was most definitely not a [[
** Lately, the Scrappy has been the [[Love Interest]] Celia, apparently because a lot of people don't think an [[Actual Pacifist]] [[Love Freak]] should be in the same comic as a bunch of hardened warriors.

* There's no real Scrappy in ''[[Ansem Retort]]'' from the reader's viewpoint, but the ''in-universe'' example would be the replacement cast Ansem used when the main cast went missing. Only Red XIII got [[Rescued
* In ''[[Red String]],'' Kazuo rather quickly morphed into this when he broke up with Miharu rather than stand up for both her and himself - right after finally consummating their relationship and promising to never let her go. Then he blamed ''her'' for his problems literally the next day, breaking his red string in front of her . . . and did we mention she'd just bought him a present? His continued nasty behavior, then absolute rejection of her in favor his [[Jerkass]] father (leaving even ''Miharu'' calling him a wussy) hasn't redeemed him either. Since then, every story involving Kazuo has only reinforced his character as a spineless loser, to the point where other characters call him this to his face. A number of people are even raring to call it [[Strangled
* [[Misfile]]: A good number of people hate Missi Fuller, both for being the [[Romantic False Lead]] in the [[Fan
** Sheldon, in contrast, was probably a deliberate attempt at making a totally unlikeable character - an [[Smug Snake|overly smug]] [[Jerkass]] driver who manipulated his old friends (whom he derided as 'just muscle'), attempted to gain exclusive rights to The Old Road and, when he lost to Ash {{spoiler|smashed up his car with a rock and tried to pin the blame on Ash}}. Fortunately Rumisiel - in his best [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moment]] to date, had an [[Engineered Public Confession]] ready, leading to Sheldon's ''immensely satisfying'' [[Humiliation Conga]] complete with {{spoiler|[[Groin Attack]], courtesy of Missi, of all people}}. Though his arc looks to be advancing Ash's [[Character Development]] if nothing else. Sheldon is the only racer - or even character - who has, to date, not shown even a smidgeon of sympathetic or likeable qualities. Even [[Alpha Bitch|Cassiel]] is more an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] who has a few morals implied - Sheldon's just a [[Small Name, Big Ego|power-mongering dick with an overly-large head]].
** A note on the Missi hatedom: Despite being a main character, she's incredibly flat. Her crowning moments are few and far between, she has barely any redeeming qualities and her big moment of possible character development, finding out her parents neglect her emotionally, was over pretty quickly and has been ignored since it was mentioned. If she could just get a little more screen time that's used to redeem her further, there wouldn't be a problem.
* ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' fans once did a survey as to which character they liked the least. [http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6575 Almost 50% of the votes went to...]{{Dead link}} [[Schedule Slip|the placeholder]]. Some of the comments:

"I almost voted the Lover Clad in Nothing of Consequence, not because I dislike the Lover, but rather because the name there is hilarious. But yeah, the place holder is one of the most damnable things to ever exist in this universe, whose evil outstrips that of the Yozis or the Neverborn. May it burn in the purging fire of the Unconquered Sun himself! (In other words, [[Memetic Badass|Ten Winds]].)" }}

** Mallory also comes in for a fair bit of hatred, due to getting between Daniel and Sarah, then not being seen to actually help the team in any way, then {{spoiler|being seen kissing her teacher}}.

** Douchey McNitpick was supposed to be this when he first showed up, but he was FAR too annoying for the entire review, showing that when the Critic wants to be annoying, he is FAR too good at it. Even though the Critic kicked his ass at the end, the fans still hated him, probably because he was supposed to be [[Straw Fan|an extreme version]] [[This Loser Is You|of his]] [[Broken Base]]. This was fixed during the Next Top 11 Fuck-Ups when he was made a lot more comical and pitiful, including implications that he dresses in drag and masturbates to pictures of the Green M&M. He returns in a Screw Ups vid for ''[[

*** He also managed to do it in such a vicious way (tearing his heart out through his CHEST) that most fans were crying "[[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]".
** [[Bad Movie Beatdown
** Pretty much anyone who's had a storyline in their videos post-[[Kickassia]] is getting Scrappy treatment.
** [[The Blockbuster Buster]] has not sat well with fans, who complain that he's yet another movie reviewer. It also did not help that one his first videos to the site was him doing impressions of the other contributors.
*** A bit part is his voice; not so much his speaking voice, but whenever he attempts to change it. It's rarely ever an impersonation, just "same voice high/low", which fails to give the impression of a different "character" speaking. His "deep" voice, used for Trailer Voice Narration, comes across trying to hard.
* [[Survival of the Fittest]] has had many over the course of the RP, but two of the most notable Scrappies are Liam Black and Carson Baye of v3 infamy: Liam Black for being an out-of-place combination of [[Large Ham]] and [[God Mode Sue]] (note this is after the site put an emphasis on "realism"), and Carson Baye for being [[Don't Explain the Joke]] incarnate, thoroughly ruining any subtle [[Shout
** Blood Boy, one of the main villains of v3, also became this mid-V3, possibly due to the influx of new handlers and the rise of the belief that the game should be more realistic. Being the most [[Malevolent Masked Man|ridiculous and over-the-top character concept]] of V3, he was quickly shunned.
** Out of the v4 characters, Charlene Norris doesn't seem to be well-liked. This is mostly because a bunch of [[Common Mary Sue Traits]] ([[Mismatched Eyes]], being on both the [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|cheer]] and tennis teams, makes a [[So Beautiful
