Mr. Burns: *Excellent*

It goes to show how awesome Mark Hamill is. Fire Lord and Joker side by side.

[zeospark]

Biased toward Simpsons again I see. No way Mr. Burns is better than the freaking Joker

[gautekjelstadli]

When you're that much on youtube that you don't need no notification squad lol

[davidgalan]

wow, imagine thinking ozai is a better villain than Azula

[TheMarioManiac]

"You blasted barnacle head" - Plankton.

[CalifornianCuttlefish]

Great Video! *This list is awesome! keep up the fantastic work*

[benwasserman]

Mr. Burns: the best cartoon villain? I don't think so....

[jon-ec]

I feel kinda bad for azula since she went crazy in the end of the show but is more confused in the comics

[mikereilly]

Can't believe Him from the powerpuff girls wasn't on any list or even an honorable mention.

That guy/girl/thing as terrifying.

[The_PokeSaurus]

I like your reason for putting Mr Burns on top!

[Scottcawthon_real]

I would say bill sipher is the best cartoon villain of all time, he combines complete and utter evil along with humour and the fact that he is nearly unbeatable makes him an amazing villain

[darkmaster]

Might as well just be called the most popular cartoon villains.

[jeromewilliams]

Mr Burns is definitely the MAIN villain of the Simpsons. He may not be better than the Joker in comparison but he deserved to be at least in the top three of this list of villains. Now let’s argue 😈

[melancholymelon]

My favourites are
1. Bill cipher
2. Azula
3. General grievous 2003

[owenadams]

I know that he isn't in many episodes but Scott Tenorman from South Park deserves at least an honourable mention.

[nifralo]

Dose General Grevious count as a cartoon baddie? He's animated and more of a cartoon than 80% of actual cartoons.

[twilightozzylovelyrockocip]

How dare you give Bill Cipher only an honorable mention! He is the best antagonist and possibly best cartoon character of all time!
