8 of the Naughtiest Television Characters of the Year

4. Eric Cartman, South Park (Trey Parker)

This year the rotund Comedy Central character started an illegal fried chicken cartel just so that he could get his KFC fix, bullied his friends, accused all NASCAR drivers of being poor and stupid, made racist, sexist and antisemitic remarks, belittled his mother on a regular basis, joined forces with the dark lord Cthulhu and ordering a hit on Sarah Jessica Parker. So yeah.

3. Stewie Griffin, Family Guy (Seth MacFarlane)

The (literally) baby-faced villain of Family Guy committed the most unforgivable act onscreen this year in Santa's eyes. After being brushed off by Santa at the mall, Stewie plotted a revenge plan that ideally would end in his death. However, upon discovering a sickly Santa at the North Pole, Stewie agreed to deliver the year's gifts. Yes, that would be a happy ending for Stewie -- if he had not beaten two innocent homeowners to death with a baseball bat in the process.

2. Frank Reynolds, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Danny DeVito)

Although Frank Reynolds may have realized the error in his selfish gifting ways during last week's Christmas special, Danny DeVito's FX character is still considered one of the nastiest and vilest personalities on television. Not only because he attempted to illegally reap the benefits of a gay partnership in the season premiere, but because he admitted to stealing millions of dollars from a former business partner, poisoned his daughter and tied her to a bed, screened his own gratuitous Lethal Weapon 5 sex scene for high school students and degraded women for a Howard Stern-esque podcast.

1. Jordan Chase, Dexter (Johnny Lee Miller)

This year's most evil villain, Jordan Chase, deserves much worse then than the naughty list. In addition to instructing a group of childhood friends to rape and torture blonde women to death in this season's "Barrel Girl" arc, he nearly killed Dexter and Dexter's new love interest, played by Julia Stiles.
