Most over the top bad guy ever in a show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Usually, in sitcoms they can always paint a villain to either as a boss of a company or some sort of cruel human that harms the good people who the audience loves the most.

I'll go with Boss Hogg. He was so over the top, it was funny. I know he wasn't like that bad at all, but he was the most funny and over the top crooked politician I ever seen.

I love Boss Hogg, too. He is so funny! Pity the actor died before the reunion movie. I know in the later seasons that Boss Hogg became dumber and dumber than a bag of hammers, but he is so funny.

I'm going to pick Endora as my favorite villainess. She did some really horrible things to her son-in-law Darrin but you still liked her anyway!!

mrs.gingerhinkley · 03-25-2007, 08:14 PM

yes! I love Endora! she's great!

Although it's not a sitcom, my pick will be Roger Gaffney from Homicide. I picked him because he will always have that evil smile in his face, plus he likes to p*** off Gee and the detectives. That's why I picked Gaffney as the over the top villain in a show.

How about the villains that appeared on "Batman" in every episode? Whether it was the Joker, the Penguin, or Catwoman, the actors that portrayed them gave some of the most hammiest performances you'll ever see on any series, sitcom or not. The best way to describe them would be to simply say:

Holy hilarity!

I strongly agree 1000% Joker was always my favorite though. My favorite Villainess would be Endora and Julie Catwoman Newmar.

I don't know if this counts but T-Bag on Prison Break is one bad villian.

I don't see why not. The thread said "show" so I guess it means both sitcoms and dramas!

comedyfreak · 03-27-2007, 10:07 PM

Well in that case I'll add, the best villain of all...........................Dr. Zachary Smith of Lost In Space!!!

I have a friend who says Dr. Smith was to Lost in Space what Endora was to Bewitched.

Can you imagine what would happen if those two hooked up? Endora'd whip him into shape in no time!

WARNING indeed!

I love Boss Hogg, too. Knowing how much Sorrell Booke loved the character and the show makes him even more cool in my book.

Gargamel and Azrael

Dastardly and Muttley

and of course Monty Burns - he even takes candy from a baby
