The Scrappy / Web Videos

• Channel Awesome:
  • Melvin, the brother of the Joker received a decidedly lukewarm reception compared to Doug's five previous characters. Thankfully Doug quickly caught on and joined the people mocking him.
  • As for other TGWTG critics, The Spoony One found his own Scrappy when he introduced Spencer D. Bum, his own take on Doug's bum character, as part of a throwaway gag in his Dirty Harry review before returning as one of the clones in his Clones of Bruce Lee review. The backlash was immediate and incredibly venomous, stunning even Noah (who thought people would recognize that he wasn't going to be a permanent addition to the cast), and he considered simply killing off the character. To his credit, Spoony immediately picked up on the backlash, with one review where he mentions how much everyone hates Spencer...and then cuts to Spencer holding the camera, whimpering slightly, and solemnly walking away. Later on in the lead-in to his Final Fantasy X review finale, Spoony had Spencer get killed off (by Black Lantern Spoony), something he'd been talking about for a while. He also managed to do it in such a vicious way (tearing his heart out through his CHEST) that most fans were crying "Alas, Poor Scrappy".
  • Film Brain. His hatedom mainly came from his denigrating the golden calf that is Equilibrium; he lampshaded this when he needed to take a hiatus for personal reasons, creating a parody video where Doug Walker calls him "that Equilibrium douche" and "fires" him to explain the absence. Upon his return, he's tried a lot harder to redeem himself, with varying degrees of success, but so far so good. Lampshaded by Linkara by the commentary for Warrior #2-3, where Dr. Insano-Film Brain won all his fights in the clash at the very end.
  • The Meditation Guy from The Uncanny Valley for his reedy voice, being the standard New Age Take That!, and always interrupting The Webmaster's cool moments. It even became a Creator's Pest for Rob after the series' release. Luckily, Diamanda Hagan made him, Nash and the Critic explode, and watched them burn in hell for a while before reversing time.
• Escape the Night has Teala. Teala is not only disliked by the fans of the show, but by EVERYONE. Teala reportedly made no friends on the show and was voted least likely to return for an All-Stars season as well as Least Favourite guest in multiple polls. She's mainly disliked for her uselessness and lack of personality.
• We all know Fred. The high-pitched, obnoxious, screaming, man-child who was on YouTube and somehow got a TV show AND three movies. He, understandably, is well-hated.
  • With the millions of fans Fred actually HAD, Fred was loved up until his web series gained a higher budget, a background theme, and actual on-screen characters, all of which occurred in one mid 2010 released video entitled "Fred gets a Hotel". Since then, Fred has lost most of his fanbase and what was once the second most subscribed YouTube channel that got at least 20 millions of views per video is now barely in the top 100 and can barely meet a single million views. The fact that his videos now mainly consist of animated shorts doesn't help either.
  • Many fans hate Judy for being a cruel Manipulative Bitch and continuously bullying Fred, who blindly does anything for her due to a childhood crush.
  • Many fans hate Kevin even more due to his sick enjoyment in seeing Fred humiliated and the fact that Judy is his girlfriend. The two are also shown as huge Karma Houdini, there have only been three videos in which Fred ever gets either revenge on one of them, or humiliates them unintentionally.
  • But as much as both characters are hated for their abuse to the chipmunk-sounding one, they are barely as hated as their television adaptations, as Judy, instead of being arrogant and two-faced, is now a popular Girl Next Door, a role which originally belonged to Bertha.The fact that Bertha was viewed in such a tough, yet loving manner in the first film doesn't help with the Judy hate group either.
• lonelygirl15:
  • Jules, due both to poor acting and her behaviour resulting in the capture of Bree. In fairness, the entire arc had to be hastily rewritten when the actress playing the original "new girl", Sam, dropped out at the last minute, and Jules' actress was brought in in a desperate attempt to salvage the arc.
  • Mallory also comes in for a fair bit of hatred, due to getting between Daniel and Sarah, as well as the popular (and wrong) fan theory that she was secretly working for the antagonists.
• Mc Juggernuggets has more than you can count:
  • Jesse Ridgeway, the star of the show, is considered a lazy, whiny, disrespectful manchild who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut and manipulates people into doing his dirty work.
  • Jeffrey Jr, Jesse's brother, was this early on, coming off as a sociopathic Jerkass who took disturbing amounts of glee and satisfaction in seeing Jesse's belongings get destroyed, as well as playing mean-spirited pranks on him with the intention of getting a reaction, making him come off as a bully.
  • Jeffrey Sr. Ridgeway is arguably the biggest one, with his callous lack of empathy, his hair-trigger temper when things don't go his way, his abusive means of disciplining his children, the fact that he spent all of Jeffrey Jr.'s childhood molding him into the way he wanted him to be, his clear picking favourites between his sons, his perpetually angry and standoffish attitude [especially towards Jesse], his hypocritical demand for respect despite having very little respect for others himself, his willingness to intrude on others' property, destroy things that don't belong to him and assault a woman for trying to stop him, and all the while always thinking that he's in the right and everyone but him is to blame for his actions.
  • Terry Ridgeway seems to be this after moving in with her friend Melissa. While starting out as a warm and loving mother, Melissa molded her into a moody, standoffish woman who grew too easily frustrated with others, particularly Jesse, as well as a major hypocrite, not wanting to hear anyone say bad things about Melissa while Melissa herself casually insults her son, ex-husband and entire family directly to her face. There was a glimmer of hope that she would be rescued from the heap when she grew fed up with Melissa and left...and then she kicked Jesse out of his own house and forced him to go back to his father.
  • Melissa Stahlberger is up there with Jeffrey Sr. in the Scrappy department. She's rude and obnoxious to pretty much everyone that's not Terry, besides Jeffrey Jr, who she has a disturbing attraction to, she constantly interrupts people when they're talking to throw her two cents in, she never has a kind word to say about Jesse or Larry, she won't let Jesse or Larry see Terry, she's distressingly clingy to Terry, to the point where she intrudes on property she is explicitly not welcome on to try to convince her to stay at her house, she insults Jesse and Larry in their own homes, yet gets mad at them when they do the same with her, she physically attacked Jesse, she's gleefully made jokes about Jeffrey Sr. dying of cancer shortly after he had gotten out of the emergency room with a life threatening tumour despite Jesse clearly being upset about it...
• Hal Rudnick is probably the most reviled of the regular fighters in Movie Fights. Fans often call him out for his tendency to interrupt other people when they are making a point. There are also others who dislike him by the virtue of being that overly opiniated guy in his own Screen Junkies show.
• Party Crashers: In-Universe example. Nick, Brent and Sophist all collectively despise Birdo, often mocking her at least one per game because they find her Vacuum Mouth character design to be very unpleasant to look at, much to Vernias' displeasure, who typically plays as Birdo in Super Mario Bros. Spin-Off titles. Even the editors hate Birdo, to the point of blurring her out whenever she appeared in their third Skribbl.io video.
• The Secret Life of a Mermaid:
  • Kelsey was portrayed as a Clingy Jealous Girl and a smart mouth Alpha Bitch when she first appeared on the series, which led many fan to hate her greatly. There are still fans who hate her even after she was Rescued from the Scrappy Heap!
  • Amy also gets this kind of treatment, especially in early seasons.
• SuperMarioLogan:
  • Jeffy has been getting this treatment due to the large number of episodes focusing on him. On top of that, people also dislike him due to his rather one-note stupidity trait, his weird and uncomfortable behavior, his constant annoyance of Mario, and his status as both an Idiot and Karma Houdini. On another note, some fans have argued that this was due to the negative reception and controversy of "Jeffy's Bad Word!".
  • Jeffy's sister, Feebee is hated even more for being a carbon copy of Jeffy, annoying Mario and acting weird; especially by fans that already hated Jeffy for these same reasons. Many fans are thankful that she was just a One-Shot Character.
  • You'll have quite a hard time finding people that like Rosalina. While she is one of the nicer characters as opposed to the more selfish ones such as Peach, as of mid-2016 she somehow manages to be incredibly unlikable because of that and suffers almost the exact same problems as Jeffy. These problems include but aren't limited to almost never sticking up for Mario whenever he is in trouble and usually making things worse as a result ("Jeffy's Bad Word!" and "Jeffy Goes To The Zoo!"), assuming the worst of him without giving him a chance to explain anything ("Jeffy's Cellphone!"), and even blaming Mario for the bad reception of "Jeffy's Bad Word!" and "Locked Out"!, despite Mario showing a montage of Jeffy being the one at fault ("Happy Merry Christmas!"). Worse is that unlike Bowser Junior (who has gradually started improving with time and given more likable traits) or Jeffy (who started suffering consequences for his actions after "Locked Out!"), Rosalina almost never gets called out on any of her actions or shown any growth in her character aside from "liking stars and being Mario's girlfriend". She doesn't even provide that much humor to make up for it (if she does, it's nothing special).
  • Mr. Goodman has been slowly going through similar problems as Rosalina and Jeffy in 2017. While Goodman was always intended to be a stupid character and did pester Mario in the past, it was always mitigated somewhat by the fact that Mario would usually escape whatever Goodman's punishment was (Mario and Luigi Stupid and Dumb Adventures), or even get what he deserves (Mario and Bowser's Stupid and Crazy Adventure had Goodman shot down by Black Yoshi AND slowly dying from the 24 hour trick he pulled earlier!) But nowadays, while Goodman doesn't bother Mario quite as much as Jeffy did (Most Goodman videos DO have Mario winning in the end), he still suffers from being a Karma Houdini jackass who repeats a lot of the same (often overused) jokes that Jeffy uses (To the point where Modern Goodman and Classic Goodman feel like they are written as entirely different characters), and most of his videos are quite predictable (Mario has to make his house payments, he can't make them, Goodman sues another company in the end and gets his money back.)
  • Out of the series's older cast, Peach is disliked by a lot of people for being a shallow Jerkass who dumped Mario for an extremely petty reason, as well as having a very grating voice ^note Which is especially baffling, because Lance Thirtyacre (Peach's former voice actor) has proven to be a decent voice actor. in most of her older appearances.
• Vester And Friends has more than you can count.
  • Link for being a Spotlight hogging , bullying, snobbish, high-pitched voiced crybaby who only exists to get tormented.
  • Purple Yoshi for her unnecessary cruelty to Isabelle and other snobbish and rude tendencies.
  • Sonic for having a High-and-Mighty personality and for having no other character traits besides being a show-off.
  • Big, one of the newly added characters quickly gained ire by being a massive crybaby , becoming even stupider then his canon self, quickly running his only joke where he is obsessed with Froggy into the ground quickly and being accused of replacing King Dedede a similar character who was a fan favourite who was killed by Meta Knight. While it’s currently unclear if this death is permanent, Big being introduced a couple months before Dedede’s death didn’t help. Big also being heavily shilled by Cute Yoshi Lover , a main writer for the show, saying Big is the funniest thing on the channel also gave him ire.
  • Baby Mario for being a crybaby with an even more grating voice than LINK'S , being a brat when things do not go his way and for being a character who does nothing to help his friends.
• Fight of the Living Dead: Experiment 88 was a series that follows 10 you tubers trying to survive inside a zombie infected hospital for three days. One of the youtubers, Vitaly, has earned himself the scrappy status by embodying the worst traits a zombie apocalypse survivor can have. Here's a list.
  • Dirty Coward: He acts tough, but once the zombies appear, he is the first to panic and run, setting the zombies off. This gets a team member killed on their first mission.
  • Never My Fault: He's constantly making extremely stupid mistakes and refuses to take blame for it.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: One of his main traits is how he constantly acts without thinking straight.
  • Dumb Muscle: He's physically strong, but the thickest of all his peers.
  • The Klutz: He is shown to be very klutzy when he accidentally drops an important key into a massive vat full of blood, despite his teammates warning him not to drop it.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: He finally gets his hands on a gun, and wastes most of his ammo on just a few zombies, since he missed most of his bullets.
  • Too Dumb to Live: He screws up on every mission he goes on, being directly responsible for almost every single one of the group's problems and casualties.
  • The Load: Despite being in great physical condition, he NEVER contributes anything to the team during missions. The few times it seems like he's becoming more useful he keeps finding ways to screw things up. One member of the team joked that the most helpful he's ever been was when he was getting devoured by two zombies, distracting them while the others quickly made their getaway. Even if it wasn't his intention to distract them.
  • And on top of all of this he's also a major Jerkass. When the group has a chance to revive him in the finale, they immediately agree that that would be a bad idea.
