No particular order

 

*Reggie Jackson - I actually have come to appreciate him now. But when I was a kid going to Brewer Games in the late 70's and early 80's, Reggie and the Yankees were very similar to today's Zambrano and the Cubs. I remember many "Reggie *has vacuum like qualities*" banners.

*Steff - Pretty in Pink

*Johnny Lawrence - Karate Kid - played by Willam Zabka who also played the villain in "Back to School" -Chas

*Roy Stalin - Better Off Dead

*Walter Peck - Ghostbusters - played by William Atherton who was a villain in other movies including "Real Genius"

*Darth Vader - Star Wars

*Eddie Haskle - Leave it to Beaver - ok bit of a stretch, but he was always trying to get Wally in to trouble

*While E. Coyote - The Road Runner Show

*Leonard Smalls - Raising Arizona

*Gaear Grimsrud - Fargo

 

I'm sure there are more that I can't think of right now.

 

edit. another one - Colonel Flag - M*A*S*H

[DatHoser]

JimH, I gotta add Major Hochstetter from Hogan's, too.

 

I'll add Saruman and Wormtongue from LOTR.

 

EDIT: one more: Toht and Belloq from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[davego]

I hated Fan Tarkington as a kid. I think I still hate him. The Clowns that took 99.9 the CARP off-the-air in Eau Claire. Erica Kane; All My Children.

[Fatter than Joey]

Homer, I thought for sure you'd list FTJ.

 

He doesn't have the cajones do that.

 

I think somehow Eric Cartman needs to get serious consideration.

[PeaveyFury]

JimH, I gotta add Major Hochstetter from Hogan's, too.

 

Agreed- Hochstetter is my choice from HH.

 

Siegfried - the original Get Smart

Professor Moriarty- Sherlock Holmes

Brett Favre- New York Jets

Serpentor- GI Joe

Let's see...Murdoc (MacGyver), Ben Linus (Lost), Cruella DeVille (101 Dalmatians), the Sleestaks (Land of the Lost--okay, not really villains, but they scared the you know what out of me), and I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now.

[JimH5]

I agree that Major Hochstetter was a better villan, but I prefer mine to have a bumbling, ineffective quality. For example, Saddam was quite a villan, but Saddam emerging from the spiderhole was much more satisfying.

 

And Patrick, that was a fine call on Reggie Jackson. I remember a photo from The Milwaukee Journal in 1979 with Reggie and Mike Caldwell in a fight, where Reggie is choking Caldwell and his eyes are bulging like one of those stress-reducing squeeze toys. Jackson was GREAT at playing the hated rival.

[Invader3K]

A few off the top of my head:

 

Dr. Doom (Marvel Comics)

Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)

Stone Cold Steve Austin (when he was a bad guy in WWF/WWE)

Cobra Commander (G.I. Joe, cartoon and comics)

The Joker (comics and "Dark Knight" in particular)

Bill (Kill Bill)
