Assuming that Santa Claus really is always watching, there are quite a few television characters whose behavior this year would certainly qualify them for the naughty list. Herewith, the TV personalities who would get coal in their stocking on Christmas morning if their religion permitted and Santa really did exist.
He may not be anywhere as funny as Glee's baddie Sue Sylvester, but the equally cartoonish villain of Community continually seeks revenge against the students that had him fired. This season, viewers saw (and grew tired) of Chang's exaggerated antics which resulted in a restraining order against himself.
Rainn Wilson's Office character took stinginess to a new level of genius this year by separating double ply toilet paper and splitting tampons in two to cut building costs. When he wasn't lowering morale in the office, he pulled a "Pretty Woman" at Steamtown Mall, incited jealousy between Jim and Pam and organized a completely unnecessary sting operation to gain sales knowledge. And yet, for a character so evil, Dwight does have an uncanny ability to calm babies.
In addition to providing the exact model for how not to speak to your children about masturbation, Betty Draper created a living hell for Don this year by overstaying her welcome in the family home, preventing Don from seeing Baby Gene, planning on moving all of the children to Rye and ultimately driving the man to journal writing. Journal writing!
Sue Sylvester may not have been as downright evil as she was during her freshman season of Glee, but McKinley High's Cheerio coach/part-time principal still managed to have menacing moments. When she wasn't rigging the faculty gift exchange in her favor, bullying Coach Beiste or banning Potater Tots, Sue could be found smearing her face with green paint and Grinch-ing the New Directions' Christmas.
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.
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.
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.
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.
