Bratty Half Pint / Western Animation

• Stanley, Yummy Mummy's son from 6teen, is a whiny little jerk who's constantly bothering people for fun.
• Cubbi Gummi from Adventures of the Gummi Bears is a mild example. To Sunni most of the time.
• Arthur
  • D.W. is a classic example of this trope, being whiny and self-centered most of the time.
  • Her classmates, Timmy and Tommy Tibble, make her look like an angel in comparison.
• The titular character of Angry Kid certainly qualifies.
• Daffy and Taz from Baby Looney Tunes.
• Ben 10: Ben Tennyson fits this bill. If only there wasn't this damn Aesop Amnesia! His cousin Gwen was like this before Alien Force, where she got a lot less irritating. However, Ben and Gwen had positive traits, such as genuinely caring about helping people and their friends and family, and they outgrew many of their negative traits as children.
• Bluey:
  • Bluey and Bingo's young cousin, Muffin, acts like this from time to time. For example, in the episode "Charades," while playing the titular game, Muffin throws a tantrum and refuses to play by the rules unless she gets to be a ballerina.
  • It's taken to the extreme in the episode "Faceytalk," where Muffin and Socks have a video chat with Bluey and Bingo, but Muffin refuses to let Socks have a turn with the drawing function on their tablet, even when Stripe tells her to get off. Then, after Stripe puts her in time out, Muffin steals her dad's phone, causing Stripe, and pretty soon Trixie, to chase her all around the house until Muffin accidentally drops the phone into the pool and is put in another time out.
• The Boondocks episode "Guess Hoe's Coming to Dinner" starts off with Robert at the grocery store and he sees an extremely bratty kid named Herbert breaking everything and yelling that he wants "candy marshmallows," while his poor mother is in tears, saying that she doesn't know how to get him to stop. Robert then suggests that she tries "beatin' his ass," and hands the mother his belt and shows her how to use it like a whip, which causes her to lunge at Herbert and whip him senseless.
• Chip Chilla: Chip tends to be brazen, rude and ill-behaved compaied to his sister Charla. As a result he's often on the receiving end of Aesops from his parents.
• Gorgonzola from Chowder. Gorgonzola has a Freudian Excuse. Namely, he's stuck learning a job he hates (carrying a candle on his head and not allowing it to go out), while his peers all seem happy with the paths their lives have set before them. Not really a surprise, then, that he's so intent on making their lives as hard as possible. He's not so much 'bratty' as he is just a jerkass.
• Classic Disney Shorts: Figaro; the orphan mice; Huey, Dewey, and Louie; Goofy Jr. from "Fathers Are People" (41-year-early prototype of Max Goof), and Junior from "Bellboy Donald" (prototype of PJ) are ill-mannered children.
• Codename: Kids Next Door contained two examples; Numbuh Two's little brother, Tommy, and Numbuh Three's little sister, Mushi, but it's not until the episode "Operation: C.L.U.E." that Mushi totally becomes a full-on emphasis of being an unpleasant brat when she was revealed as the culprit who stabbed Numbuh Three's rainbow monkey in the back.
  • Pretty much the entire KND ensemble is this to some degree, especially in early episodes, where the team were more a defiant bunch of rebels to adults than outright heroic.
• José from Cybersix, one of the major villains.
• Amberley from The Dreamstone is a light example. By default she is a Cheerful Child and rather well adjusted, she often becomes rather rambunctious and temperamental in the face of enemies however, something that sometimes gets her into trouble.
• Ed, Edd n Eddy:
  • Sarah, whose catchphrase is "I'm telling Mom!" regardless of the deed. Deconstructed in that she's not merely bratty, but downright cruel and at times, even violent.
  • Eddy also counts too, with him being one of the shortest guys in the show and how he can be a Spoiled Brat.
  • Despite being a Nice Guy, Jimmy can veer into this at times, particularly when he teams up with Sarah to antagonize the Eds.
• Stewie Griffin from Family Guy exaggerates this in the earlier seasons. However, this trope is very balanced for him in the later seasons.
• Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Bloo. The problem with him is, that he's swinging around between this trope and the Jerkass trope. He's whiny, selfish, and complains when he doesn't get what he wants.
• Pistol on Goof Troop is demanding and annoying, as well as seeming to enjoy getting her brother, PJ, in trouble with their parents, one of whom abuses him (though to her credit she usually will try to tell the one who doesn't). She badgers people so they give her stuff and let her play with them, and becomes very upset when she doesn't get her way, while she thinks the rules don't apply to her. It's to the point where PJ (who is frequently forced into intense servitude) considers playing with Pistol to be the worst chore of all.
• Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, not unlike Gaz (see the picture above), combines this trope with Creepy Child and Disproportionate Retribution.
• Baby Shelby from House of Mouse tries to get his watchers in trouble with his mom and has an Annoying Laugh to top it off.
• Gaz Membrane from Invader Zim sadly becomes this trope in the comics and Enter the Florpus, abandoning her usual Creepy Child and exaggerating her Disproportionate Retribution character trope.
  • Moofy, don't even try saying 'no' to her cookies or even try rescuing her from getting stuck in Zim's lawn when getting attention from the media.
• Kaeloo: Cramoisie. She is "under 6 years old" and a jerkass who spends all her time insulting other people or pushing around her sister, Violasse. Her horrible behavior is generally met with zero consequences, as Kaeloo forgives her due to her young age, Mr. Cat is also a terrible person so he outright encourages her, and Stumpy thinks she just has no filter.
• Kim Possible. Cousin Shawn, later Artie Smarty.
• In Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Po, Tigress, and Mantis have to escort a bratty little princess to a rendezvous. She acts very bratty along the way, and when they get robbed, she blames it all on the servants, Tigress, and Mantis. Po gets ticked off when she insults his friends and gives her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, causing her to cry. He feels bad about it and talks with her calmly later on, and the princess subverts this trope.
• In The Legend of Korra, Korra's Establishing Character Moment is when (at four-years-old) she demonstrates her ability to use three of the four elemental powers that she's not supposed to manifest until she's sixteen, busting through a wall in the process.
  Korra: I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!
• Brattus, the aptly-named younger cousin of Mr. Bogus.
• Bentley from The Raccoons has shades of this. He's a child genius but it doesn't stop him from being a bit of a pest at times.
• Enzo from ReBoot is one of the better depictions of this. Part of the reason is that while he frequently gets kidnapped and bites off more then he can chew, the awesomeness of The Hero Bob is seen through his eyes. And Character Development has him rising up to the occasion to be a hero himself when Bob is stranded in the web.
• Randall from Recess. "Miss Finster! Miss Finster!"
• Regular Show: Though a full-grown raccoon instead of an actual child, Rigby gets into this territory.
• The aptly named Precocia Holiday from The Roman Holidays. Highly capable of being snarky when she wants to be.
• Angelica from Rugrats is a three-year-old spoiled brat who will go to any lengths in order to get her way, or boss around the babies.
• Scooby-Doo:
  • Scrappy-Doo. Although he never actually gets captured, the gang always has to grab him away before he is. (Although one has to wonder why they bother.)
  • Flim-Flam from The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo.
• Lisa Rental from Sheep in the Big City is a bratty little girl who gets vicious when she doesn't get her way.
• Imp from She-Ra: Princess of Power is another good example from Filmation. While his age is never established, Imp has all the earmarks of this characterization, right down to throwing childish tantrums when he doesn't get his way.
• Eric Needles from Sidekick. He wines a lot after being abused by Professor Pamplemoose and acts as a jerk to the only people who were nice to him.
• The Simpsons:
  • Bart Simpson. If you get his name as an anagram for "brat", he's quite the example.
  • Interestingly, during the Tracey Ullman shorts, Lisa Simpson was pretty much a female Bart. When The Simpsons became a series, the writers felt having two Bart-like kids was redundant, so they made Lisa the smarter, more mature one. In early seasons she's still a co-conspirator (for instance, egging Bart on in his prank calls to Moe) but she was Flanderised into more of a goody-two-shoes later on.
  • "Hurricane Neddy" revealed that Ned used to be a very severe version of this, as his beatnik parents refusing to discipline him in any way led to him violently lashing out at other kids.
• South Park:
  • Most of the boys in earlier seasons, with Eric Cartman being most obvious.
  • Then there is Ike, who runs away to Somalia because he was already bored with life. He's about 4 years old.
• SpongeBob SquarePants: Sandy's young nieces from "Sandy's Nutty Nieces" complain a lot and physically harm SpongeBob multiple times.
• The Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show episode "Uncle Mxyzptlk" had exposure to red kryptonite turn Superman into a little kid, who is nicknamed "Superbrat" by Firestorm because of his unruly antics, which include insulting Gleek by calling him a dopey monkey and wrecking the Hall of Justice's computer systems by mistaking them for playthings. Things get worse for the Super Friends when Mr. Mxyzptlk appears and exploits Superbrat's immaturity to create havoc by claiming to be his uncle and encouraging the de-aged Superman to cause destruction with his powers.
• One episode of The Super Hero Squad Show saw the team have to deal with a bratty little girl who manages to get her hands on a fractal-empowered tiara. She ends up nearly ending the world in a literal Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum.
• Tex Avery MGM Cartoons: In "One Ham's Family", after the Big Bad Wolf from The Three Little Pigs failed to catch the pig who lived in the brick house, he comes back one Christmas, disguised as Santa Claus, trying to get his revenge. Unfortunately for him, the pig's mischievous son proceeds to drive the Wolf crazy.
• Teen Titans (2003): Gizmo, in addition to his technical skill, has a very big mouth. Insults are practically all that comes out of his mouth.
• Various smaller engines of Thomas & Friends are usually cheeky and mischievous to the point where most of them learn a lesson not to run into this trope. Thomas, Percy, Bill, and Ben are common examples.
• In Transformers: Animated, Bumblebee, while basically good at heart, is also snarky, mischievous (one time he ruined a stunt involving Prowl jumping over his vehicle mode friends in motorcycle form by jumping out and scaring him), brash, impulsive and does not like being called "short".
• In the Van Beuren Studios cartoon "Day at the Park", Farmer Al Falfa deals with two pesky kids, and a local monkey living in the park, bitter at him over their last fight, uses the situation to call the police on Al.
• Velma: Even before her mother disappeared, Velma was an absolute brat to everyone, drove her parents crazy, and was a possessive friend to Daphne. In fact, during Christmas, she whined about finding her gifts early and asked her mother to give her more, which is partially what led to Diya going missing.
• The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald: The video "Visitors from Outer Space" features an alien child named Org who really likes to play pranks and annoy his parents.
• The X's: Truman X, perhaps the most badass and least annoying example on this page. He's meant to be a combination of Bart Simpson and Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory, and frankly, that combination works wonders. But even he is nothing compared to the girl who bullies him in the episode "From Crusha with Love".
