Cartoon Villain Showdown – Week 2!

Hold on to your hats, the next batch of ne’er-do-wells are upon us!

Strangers have been stopping me in the street lately and asking the same question, time and time again – “Shane, how do you pick which villains will be included in the contest?” Eric and I thought we’d take you behind the scenes for a little preview.

There’s a detailed list of criteria that each underhanded applicant has to meet, for instance, average number of foiled attempts at evilness, ratio of evil laughs to evil deeds etc. These statistics are then tallied up and multiplied by the mean (very mean) average of cronies/lackeys and then… look, it’s a detailed science that only Eric and I have been able to perfect over the years, and even then it’s not exact.

The only true way to find out who’s the baddest is to vote, so without further ado we give you the final batch of baddies in the Cartoon Villain Showdown!

    Ok, my votes are:

    Skeletor
    Uncle something (the guy from The Raccoons!)
    Dick Dasterdly
    Pinky.

    I’m saying Pinky becasue I can’t remember who the guy up against him is! I recognise him but can’t think where from. But lets face it, Pinky wins hands down. He’s a mouse.

    Skeletor
    Megatron
    Dick Dastardly
    The Brain

    The Brain is the top dog…er mouse.

    Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?

    The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

    Tough battles here, but definitely:

    Skeletor – seriously… Invader Zim? Skeletor would look at him, and Zim would evaporate in an electrical storm of ancient Greyskull power. I learned true fear as a child from two villians: Skeletor and Lord Dread.

    Megatron – only because Starscream isn’t in the list :P vs… wtf? Mr. Snorg or something was it? All he did was build some big tree stomping machine and smoke and everlasting stogie. Plus, Megatron has the ultimate badge of evil of all time, the ultimate kill-mark, killing Optimus Prime! Win… in fact, he’s going all the way.

    Plankton – Kori and I argued over this one quite alot, but when I realized it was Dick Dastardly instead of Boris (from Rocky & Bullwinkle)… I agreed. Plankton is evil, gets stepped on, hatches evil plots, only to get foiled by a sponge and a starfish who are so dumb, they’re still in grade school despite being old enough to hold down jobs making Crabby Patties.

    Gargamel – Brain is quite the mastermind, but his plans aren’t evil. He only wants to take over the world because it’s there for the taking. Only Gargamel can claim to have created life, albeit only a couple smurfs, frankenstein style. Plus Azrael (his cat) is hungry for some mice. Brain’s going in the Meow Mix. Pinky, likely, is just dumb-lucky enough to survive (like Spongebob).
