Angelica Pickles -Rugrats
"You babies are so dumb, I can't believe you lived to be one."
"You babies are so dumb, I can't believe you lived to be one."
The original Mean Girl. Angelica, as the older cousin of Tommy and Dil, continuously manipulated the babies to get what she wanted. Regina George really had nothing on her.
Draco Malfoy - Harry Potter
"Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley, and that's saying something."
"Longbottom, if brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley, and that's saying something."
Draco (along with his sidekicks Crabbe and Goyle) repeatedly made fun of Harry and his friends. What a witch.
Helga Pataki- Hey Arnold
"Move it, football head!"
"Move it, football head!"
Roger Klotz- Doug
"Get two pictures taken, one for you, and one for that nose."
"Get two pictures taken, one for you, and one for that nose."
Kate Sanders- Lizzie McGuire
"How many Lizzies does it take to screw in a light bulb? Hmmm, I don't know, but it only takes one to screw up a graduation."
Lucy van Pelt - Peanuts
I oughta slug you!
Disney Villains
"When she breaks the tender peel, to taste the apple in my hand, her breath will still, her blood congeal, then I'll be fairest in the land!"
From Cruella Deville to Scar almost every Disney movie has a villain or adversary for the protagonist.
In fact, each of these characters represent the adversary character in relation to the main character usually depicted as the hero. But all of these programs and movies are geared toward the younger set, and because it is so prevalent, it can be seen as the norm in society.

I love how you tied this in. As children we don't question what we see, so it is a great time to get some psycho-education. Wouldn't it be great to have a Rugrats episode (or the current equivalent) about what to do when you feel bullied? I.E. who to tell, what to do if you're feeling sad?
ReplyDeleteI think there may have been one where Angelica was the one who gets bullied, or something, or some other girl bullies the babies, and Angelica steps in to defend them and shows she really does love them but is mean sometimes.
Anyway, great stuff here.
