Cartoons are made to entertain, but some designs truly stand out for their unattractiveness. Ugly cartoon characters often serve comedic or villainous roles, like Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants or Gargamel from The Smurfs. Their exaggerated and often unappealing features add humor and distinction to the storyline. Some ugly characters, however, are loved because they represent deeper traits, such as resilience or wisdom, beyond their appearance. The ugliness is purposeful and connects viewers to unforgettable, humorous, or sinister personas that continue to shape animated worlds. What’s your favorite ugly cartoon character?
