Here are 15 of cartoons' most hapless characters who get the shaft.

  • latinjones, on 04/14/2009, -0/+24For 50+ years now! Then he gets the shaft from this top 15 list! That was a total dick move, popcrunch...

  • NeoNcP, on 04/14/2009, -2/+16"Klaus Heissler" doesn't deserve to share the page with those other characters.
  • inactive, on 04/14/2009, -1/+15Zoidberg for the win
  • thePTS, on 04/13/2009, -0/+13I wonder what Acme's eBay feedback history would look like :(
  • WarriorBlake, on 04/14/2009, -0/+10Johnny Bravo was epic. Random and funny. Dugg!
  • bramcantwatch, on 04/14/2009, -2/+12Meg: "You're a smart fella, Dad"
    Peter: "And you're a fart smeller, Meg"
    :: Peter grabs her head and farts in her face::
  • inactive, on 04/14/2009, -0/+9Meg is so undeserving of all the crap she takes - so why do I find it so damn funny?
  • Acqua206, on 04/14/2009, -0/+8I cannot stand Jerry, freaking little mouse.
  • indubitably, on 04/14/2009, -0/+8This seems relevant...
    Wile E. Coyote switches from Acme to Amazon

  • mtoto21, on 04/13/2009, -2/+10...scratcy


    and its not wile e.'s fault, he keeps getting the shaft from acme co. and their faulty products
  • RobotKeaton, on 04/14/2009, -0/+8I'm having a hard time remember that many occasions where Calvin got the best of Susie. She seemed to beat him most of the time.
  • adeelarshad82, on 04/13/2009, -0/+8yea and thats what was so funny about them... good times
  • VyPR, on 04/14/2009, -0/+7Where's the Ambiguously Gay Duo?
  • indubitably, on 04/14/2009, -0/+7back in the day, daffy duck was a giver and not a taker.
  • Lister169, on 04/14/2009, -0/+7I say, I say, what about Foghorn Leghorn.
    That poor rooster never got laid.
  • CrimsonFlash, on 04/14/2009, -0/+6Always loved Johnny Bravo. Great show.
  • chris3435, on 04/14/2009, -0/+6I always sided with Tom most of the time. In a lot of the cartoons Jerry is a dick.
  • JerseySlam, on 04/14/2009, -1/+6I'd give Jessica Rabbit the shaft, y'know what im sayin?
  • UrinalPooper, on 04/14/2009, -0/+5How could they leave out Ziggy?

  • doyouwash, on 04/14/2009, -0/+5There were a lot of strips in which she was blasted with snowballs or rotten apples, but I think their antagonism of each other was pretty even-handed.

    I think Calvin actually seems to always "get the shaft." He's constantly in trouble at school, with his parents, or getting run-down by Hobbes.
  • maz2331, on 04/14/2009, -0/+5I like Zoidberg.
  • pe5t1lence, on 04/14/2009, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PigUk4V014w
  • inactive, on 04/14/2009, -0/+4Tom needed to be on the list. Until the later years when he and Jerry were friends and teamed up against the dogs, he was always getting slammed.
  • Wreckage, on 04/14/2009, -1/+5How bout Ned Flanders? I mean they killed his wife, that's pretty bad.
  • matthewkg, on 04/14/2009, -0/+4No love for good ol Gil?
  • Mackofalltrades, on 04/14/2009, -0/+4Rule 34? Wait... Noooooo...
  • Mummo, on 04/14/2009, -1/+5Charlie Brown getting the shaft? I swear I saw that video online somewhere
  • BoutDemCanes91, on 04/14/2009, -3/+616 get the shaft if we count your mom
  • MagMan68Classic, on 04/14/2009, -0/+3"Good News Everyone!"
  • DeadBabyFloat, on 04/14/2009, -0/+3Because nobody knows what the ***** that is.
  • rtcrooks, on 04/14/2009, -1/+4Odie is kinky.
  • Evolutuon, on 04/14/2009, -0/+3Who?
  • psolms, on 04/14/2009, -0/+3hans moleman. nuff said.
  • inactive, on 04/13/2009, -3/+6Cool!!!
  • hartley, on 04/14/2009, -0/+3According to the "new" Ren and Stimpy, Stimpy literally gets the shaft...


    Ren - "I'm the pitcher, you're the catcher."
  • Kidddrunkadelic, on 04/14/2009, -0/+3Hooray for Zoidberg!
  • maz2331, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2Sounds pretty gay.
  • TwwIX, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2Pinky and the Brain
  • zeebo, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2That's funny, I always thought that Butters, Mr. Garrison and Jimbo were the ones that got the Shaft on South Park
  • maz2331, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2But Kenny actually died.
  • JMitch42, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2Butters has easily taken over Kenny's spot on South Park as the character who constantly gets the shaft. There is always something bad happening to Butters, and most of the time for no good reason.
  • crsnglb, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2"Sylvester has undergone the most “deaths” of any of the Looney Tunes characters."

    More than Wile E. Coyote? I don't believe it.
  • robbiedo, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2Inspector Gadget curiously missing.
  • x2cprincess, on 04/14/2009, -0/+2Digg because you made me read that in Gil's voice.
  • maz2331, on 04/13/2009, -5/+7OH MY GOD! They killed Kenny!
  • Jektal, on 04/14/2009, -0/+1Rule 34

    NSFW!
  • elmerfudd, on 04/14/2009, -0/+1just had to digg this for the lead in character. Missing both Beavis and Butthead though
