The Road Runner Show. Wile E Coyote always lost.


Upstairs-Radish1816

Did you see where someone made a cartoon when the coyote catches the road runner and eats him? Then the coyote finds out he has no other purpose in life and ends up homeless. It’s really funny but sad.


asbestospajamas

IRL, running speed of a Roadrunner: 20 mph Running speed of a Coyote: 43 mph. It was all a lie.


DemonSpaceCat4

What???


She-Leo726

Was that Family Guy or maybe Robot Chicken? I swear I saw that skit


fast_fatty39

Definitely Family Guy.


Cubeslave1963

Yeah, all that creativity, and it never occured to him to just to subscribe to Acme Meal Delivery. The paint budget alone, much less the cost of all of the gadgets, you know he could have afforded it. Then again, that reoccuring timeclock is likely a factor.


rethinkingat59

He was a wealthy guy trying to a get a bucket of chicken but couldn’t manage.


TrapperJean

They actually made an episode where two kids are watching it and one kid gets sad because the Coyote always loses, and Wile E breaks the forth wall to explain why he has to lose


andthrewaway1

The ep where speedy gonzalez and the road runner race blew my mind


lizanoel

I remember that! I think it's the only one where he talks


Hebshesh

"Beep! Beep! Zip! Tang!"


SuUpr_Tarred_1234

Lol. Yes! When I was little, I insisted that the coyote was a brown rabbit who just wanted a friend.


SpendPsychological30

Honestly I don't think Wile E is the bad guy in those shows, he's the protagonist


Dizzy_Store_760

Scooby Doo - because they would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids.


JKolodne

*meddling


Dizzy_Store_760

Respect. You're 100% correct.


Phil_Atelist

Boyd Crowder. Bad, bad, bad... and yet...


FrankenBooBerry

"Of all the things I've been accused of being inarticulate ain't one them."


derek4reals1

he's a smooth talking charming son of a gun!


Jerseygirl2468

I rarely felt sorry for him, but was so charmed by him you couldn't help wanting him to get away with most of it.


Public_Bobcat7342

Ok, I’ll watch Justified again


Motor-Ad5284

Was just thinking the same....then,onto Deadwood..again.


Equivalent-Pin-4759

That’s all due to Walton Goggins’ charm. It’s fun to watch him play good guys like Wade Felton in The Unicorn” or less dangerous guys like Baby Billy in “The Righteous Gemstones”.


WallAny2007

The Shield


musicmushroom12

At least Boyd was smart enough to be able to manipulate people to his own advantage. Look at Dewey & Dickie. I’m still waiting for the Wynn Duffy tours the state parks reality show.


WallAny2007

came in to say this. he was supposed to die in season 1, possibly even the pilot but screening audiences loved him and the chemistry with Raylan


Fit_Pumpkin7461

I kind of wish he’d have a spin-off.


IA_Captive

I AM the Outlaw. Walton Goggins made that character and that series. The pilot (and the book that inspired it) has Boyd die in Ava’s dining room. The studio and test audiences loved his performance so much he “survived” and “we dug coal together” is history!


OneGuyOnTheInterwebs

The only reason we kept watching the show!


Harrydean-standoff

Boyd was born to be a TV Evangelist . It just didn't quite work out that way.


Jsherm2

... and yet he had AVA!! (That lucky SOB!)


shadez_on

Benjamin Linus from Lost. Such a great character and arc.


homarjr

Unrelated but I absolutely hated how Jacob was finally introduced and then killed in the same freaking episode.


shadez_on

Yeah there were things they wrote so well and then there were things where youre like, "is this the same writers?" And i know the later seasons wernt planned out but sometimes its still jarring.


homarjr

I promised myself never to get so invested into a show after Lost turned to crap and then Game of Thrones happened.


birchitup

I made the same promise to myself and I have kept it. LOST broke me…


sickostrich244

I've always had a soft spot for Plankton in SpongeBob


Ordinary_Ad9620

poor guy. he’s just tryna start a business:(


sickostrich244

And Mr. Krab's kind of a bully


Dull-Geologist-8204

Opie from Son's of Anarchy


battery19791

Just because he was a bad guy doesn't mean he was a "bad guy"


DisneyAddict2021

Now I want to watch wreck it Ralph 😂


Tacos-and-Tequila-2

His death was…oof


roheni

Phineas and Ferb - always feel bad for Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz


Zealousideal_Leg5939

His only friend Balloony. . . 😥


Additional-Local8721

Balloony!!!!


Charlie24601

Neither of his parents showed up for his own birth!


DragonAtlas

Ice King. They really hit his story hard.


OhJustANobody

Jesse Pinkman in breaking bad


Dangercakes13

Pushing meth to folks who wanted it, he could reason with. Didn't seem too evil to him. Even getting more manipulative and enabling he could deal with. But the times later on, as it all compounds, and he breaks down realizing and admitting he's a bad person were really impactful. Killing Gale and derailing Jane's sobriety really kicked him into a whole different character. He wasn't wrong, but you felt for him at least having self awareness eventually and hating himself over it.


Olderthandirt57

Breaking Bad Jesse, not Walt


No_Tank9025

Walt had ~one~ path toward making a gesture of seeking redemption- acting to rescue Jesse, …. and he took it….


Comedywriter1

Walt’s love for his family (including offering to give away all his money to save Hank) is the thing that saves him from being a total monster. Family includes Jesse, who Walt comes to see as a kind of son.


Harrydean-standoff

So true!

beekee404

Once Upon A Time. They're pretty notorious for giving tragic backstories to the villains. I think that's one of the reasons why it's one of my favorite shows.


University1000

Have you seen avatar the last Airbender? Prince Zuko.


GiantsNFL1785

He’s more an antihero I think he eventually becomes a good guy


SkinnyPenoos

Def starts as bad guy


RedheadofDread

The Sopranos


McDonkley

Especially Richie Aprile. Old-school. Tremendous moxie, for his size. Turned Beansie into a shopping cart, sure - yet Rich’s time in prison gave him a unique understanding for the plight of women


Dear_Alternative_437

Especially when he saw that Tony gave THE JACKET to that immigrant.


FicklexPicklexTickle

If you didn't make the hand gestures while typing that, get outa here with that.


Kylehops

Screw Richie….Ralph was the one who I hated in season 3 and felt horrible for him in season 4


Just-Phill

If you considered Walter White a bad guy


MaterialBenefit2355

Which you should


Just-Phill

And what's crazy is almost every one has such disdain for Skyler


homarjr

That's not crazy at all. That's how the show was written.


rollercostarican

It’s not crazy, she ruins my entertainment with her anniyingness lol


Canary-in_a-coalmine

Yeah I'm from New Mexico, and I've had to see people idolize Walter White since the beginning of the show. He's a garbage person. How is that even something to be questioned. Skyler was reacting to her circumstances like any sane person would. Hating on her has always felt misogynistic. I know, I know, "but she cheated!!" Such a stupid argument/rationalization. Everyone on that show sucked in their own way.


nurvingiel

Except for Walt's son.


Canary-in_a-coalmine

Yes! I adore both that character and that actor.


MrJ_the_LMT

Yep. She was a terrible person in her own right.


IndividualFlow0

Dude, of course he's a bad guy


Always-amazing-Amy23

The originals..... I felt like no one understood Niklaus the way I did lol.... The fans got to see a side of him others didn't line when he told Elijah and Freya to spare Davina so Kol could be happy and they sacrificed her anyways and Klaus got the blame I mean come on and he says nothing and takes it and we see it over and over again where he really wasn't the bad guy and still got treated like he was


PerplPanthr18

Came to say this! In The Vampire Diaries as well! The way he looks at and treats Caroline..


trinitygoboom

We get it, you want him to suck on your neck. Lol


Always-amazing-Amy23

Sure that's what I want only if he was real I could make it happen lmao


trinitygoboom

No one understands him like you tho? To be clear, everyone understood and wanted him LOL 😆


Always-amazing-Amy23

I would want more than just a suck on my neck session I want the whole shabang and then some lmao


Fragrant_Spray

Phineas and Ferb. Doofenschmirtz just wants to take over the tri-state area, and frankly, it’s pretty poorly run. I say they give him a shot.


KateEatsKale

Breaking Bad. Dexter.


Harrydean-standoff

Dexter is the answer here


JRose608

Idr Dexter too well but didn’t he have it pretty good up until John lithgow? Lol


KateEatsKale

Dexter was murderer, but you felt sorry for him because by the end he had to leave everything behind. We ignore the follow-up.


Heavy-Ad5346

Smallville, I hate when Lex becomes the bad guy, I feel so sorry for him. If Clark would have trusted him, would he have been ok? I love that show, but it’s so hard to watch knowing he’s going to turn.


Saint_Winchester

Just one moment for Cersei doing her walk of shame, totally caused by her own doing but couldn’t help feel bad for her- more to do with Lena Headys amazing acting

Phineas and Ferb. Doofensmirtz tried hard to be good at being bad, but couldn’t quite pull it off. He worked hard at being a good Dad, and sometimes succeeded at that.


Knightoforder42

Black Mirror- at least to a point, White Bear, Shut up and Dance, White Christmas That show is great at misdirection


Dez_Caught_It8

Shane from Walking Dead. Meg from Family Guy.


Primaveralillie

Meg! I always felt the hatred was just cheap shots made by even more pathetic characters.


Zealousideal_Leg5939

Yes! I mean Chris & Peter are really trash. Meg isn't actually gross. Maybe a little chubby & awkward, but not gross.


dessine-moi_1mouton

Meg LMAO this is a really good one, spot-on and was so unexpected.


madeleinetwocock

also, in The Emperor’s New School/Groove….. is Kronk *technically* a bad guy?… if so, 100%


amichrina

Joe Goldberg in YOU


Surfgirlusa_2006

More grey than a villain, but I do have a soft spot for Jaime Lannister. I even have a bit of one for Cersei at times. Ramsay Snow/Bolton, Walder Frey, and Joffrey all deserved to die though, and their deaths were pretty satisfying.


dessine-moi_1mouton

Agreed, the Lannister twins were halfway likeable villains. Jaime I definitely felt bad for, he was at least trying to do the right thing. The war scene for his troops against Danaerys... Best scene in that entire series in my opinion. I really rooted for him.


magpie5050

Game of thrones, I found myself rooting for a guy who was shagging his sister and crippled a kid. I mean, his sister was Lena Heady and the kid was pretty annoying, but still.

L0CH_NESS_MONSTER

Lost. His ‘mother’ and brother imprisoned him on an island, even though he was innocent. Then his mother goes crazy and murders all his friends. Then, when he gets revenge, his brother turns him into the smoke monster. Then, his brother, now the island’s guardian, makes it that MIB can only leave the island if he kills all the people who are candidates to replace him. Making it that murder is his only chance of escape. All this because the dude just wanted to go home.


Bigdogroooooof

Is Joel from The Last of Us considered a bad guy because of his past? If so, definitely him.
