Rottenest (fictitious) rotten little kid?

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Rottenest (fictitious) rotten little kid?

Semi-inspired by my Calvin & Hobbes poll of the other day.

[Dappleganger]

1. Can't believe you left out Dennis the Menace! nt

[Bossy Monkey]

8. He's up. n/t

[fizzgig]

2. i wouldn't necessarily call calivn rotten

just a handful ;)

[Left Is Write]

6. I would definitely not call Calvin rotten. :)

[pokerfan]

26. Yes!

Of course, today they'd probably just pump him full of Ritalin:

[SoxFan]

3. Crap, you're on to us

I have to find a family picture from 1976 or so. It's scary how much we looked like the Family Circus. Three boys and a girl, the girl being the second oldest, and the ages just right. My father even wore the dorky glasses.

[MountainLaurel]

4. Not a little kid

But Ferris Bueller.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Next to little Rhoda Penmark, they all fade away.

[Left Is Write]

7. Absolutely agree.

She goes way beyond rotten!

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. That's right!

Creepy and unrepentant, like every good villain should be.

[mitchum]

24. I have that photograph on my desk at school...

as a reminder that my students could be so much worse.
Perspective is everything.

[JanMichael]

31. I just looked this up and Rhoda wins hands off.

Really hands off like she'd cut them off.

scary freakin' kid.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

42. Trivia note: Patty McCormack, who played Rhoda grew up to play

1) Adriana's mother on The Sopranos

and

2) Pat Nixon in Frost/Nixon

"At least you still have little Rhoda..."

[LostinVA]

54. She was alos in "The Ropers"

[LostinVA]

53. She is the lone sociopath -- Patty McCormick deserved an Oscar

Chilling.

[Mist]

9. Rhonda, definately. Runner up: that kid in "The Ransom of Red Chief." nt

[scheming daemons]

10. Damien in the original "The Omen". By definition, rottenist kid ever

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. He gets my vote too...

The scene where he's riding around on his tricycle and purposefully slams into the ladder that Lee Remick is standing on gave me nightmares for weeks! :scared:

[raccoon]

11. John Reed, Jane Eyre's abusive cousin. nt

[Bucky]

12. Macaulay Culkin, but from the "Home Alone" series

I don't blame the parents at all from leaving that little terror behind all the time.

Close second: that youngest kid from "Full House". What a little shit she was.

[HopeHoops]

13. Danae of Non-Sequitor

I mean, she even wears a skull on her over-sized black T-Shirt.

[Moondog]

22. Ha! Isn't she great?

[Critters2]

14. That little girl in "The Bad Seed". Easily. nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Alia, Muad'Dib's sister

She was pretty bad-ass.

[rcrush]

16. No one mentions Riley from the Boondocks?

...

[Orsino]

17. Cartman fed a kid his ground-up parents.

I think he wins.

(edit: and tried to exterminate the Jews, and probably other things equally terrible)

[distantearlywarning]

18. Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie

[CreekDog]

20. +1

:thumbsup:

game over. you win. :rofl:

[PassingFair]

21. The Other.....

creeped me out so strongly that
I still get weirded out when I
think of it, and I only watched it
ONCE, about 25 years (?) ago.

Uta Hagen was one hell-of-an-actress!

I was thinking about it the other day
when my daughter was explaining the
plot of the movie,"The Uninvited"
to me....

Sounded like the same plot.

[Kat45]

27. Had the same reaction as you to that movie.

Saw it when I was in high school, probably about 35 years ago and I still hate to even think of it. :scared:

[mitchum]

23. The charming Miss Rhoda Penmark

[jobycom]

25. Draco Malfoy doesn't even get a mention?

[keroro gunsou]

35. malfoy

may be a bad boy in the beginning, but when the shit starts to hit the fan, he comes around... more or less.

[jobycom]

44. But he's not a little kid by that point.

[Broken_Hero]

28. Hands down, Cartman

he is the worst....but I'll do a shout out for Nellie Oleson. :)

[realisticphish]

29. That little shit in "The Santa Clause"

stupid whiny bastard. I kind of liked that movie, except when he was in it.

maybe that's not in the spirit of the thread, but I don't care. I still hate him ;)

[realisticphish]

30. Oh, a real one, the kid from "The Ransom of Red Chief"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ransom_of_Red_Chief

A kid so bad that his father demands a fee to take him back from his kidnappers

[csziggy]

49. Yes, Red Chief aka Johnny Dorset has got to be the rottenest kid ever

If you haven't read the story by O. Henry, here it is:
http://www.online-literature.com/o_henry/1041/

[mzteris]

32. Anthony Fremont

from the story "It's a Good Life"...


the one where the kid has isolated the entire town from the rest of the world and everyone has to do - and think! - what he wants because he will make you "disappear" if you upset him.

[Bossy Monkey]

38. Anthony didn't get much traction the last time I brought him up on DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8729534
but you won't catch me trying to sing along to Perry Como...

[AlCzervik]

33. you're all wrong, it was Mary Tilford in The Children's hour.

[VenusRising]

39. She was the first one that popped into my head.

Evil little snot!

[Mopar151]

34. Little Johnny Rottenmouth

of 6th grade dirty joke fame.

Teacher: What parts of nature did you see on spring vacation?

LJR: I stuck a firecracker in a frog's ass!

T: Johnny, that's "rectum" - you need to use proper words in school!


LJR: Rectum? I guess to hell it wrecked 'em! Blew his friggin' guts all over the sidewalk!

LJR = GWB?

[Justyce]

36. The Other...... oooooo

That was a great movie, one you never forget. :scared:

[triguy46]

37. Booth Tarkington's "Penrod", a little scamp and a racist....

Which is why Tarkington, a good writer overall, will prob be forgotten before too many decades go by. At the time of writing Penrod, the attitudes and characterizatons were common. I find them patronizing, simple, and offensive.

[rug]

41. These little snot noses

ands their damned little mind control powers.

[tabbycat31]

43. the kids from the problem child movies

some of my favorite movies as a kid.

[Mythsaje]

45. Seriously?

Claudia, from the Anne Rice novels. A vampire kid, played to the hilt in that crappy ass movie version of Interview by Kirsten Dunst, so well she stole Tom's thunder (not that he actually HAS real thunder--he had to borrow his from Brad). That little girl was just scary as hell. In the book and out of it.

[jobycom]

46. Veruca Salt and Violet Beaureguarde are pretty rotten.

[rrneck]

47. Scut Farcas

From the movie a Christmas Story.

Just because of the way he looks.

[MadBadger]

48. I'm Writing in Dudley from Harry Potter

The Dursley's kind of just suck.

[Initech]

50. Scott Tenorman Must Die!!!!

Cartman set the ultimate standard with that episode, it wont be topped for fuckin' decades.

[Drunken Irishman]

51. Uhm, Damien Thorn?

[LostinVA]

52. Patty McCormick deserved an Oscar

[Deja Q]

55. Eddie Haskell

He threw kittens off of bridges and did it with his cousin too. :P

[baldguy]

56. Damien Thorn

c'mon!

[mykpart]

57. Larry Mundello

from Leave It To Beaver. Because he always got Beaver to do his dirty work, then he left Beaver holding the bag. Don't know why Ward and June allowed Beaver to play with him.

[philosophie_en_rose]

58. Cartman will kill and make you cannibalize your loved ones.

The rest don't compare.

[LeftishBrit]

59. I suppose one of the most famous Naughty Children in British fiction..

is William of Richmal Crompton's "Just William" series. Probably not the rottenest, but one of the most famously naughty.
