Characters that get little respect

[pender]

One that hasn't been mentioned:

Spud- American Dragon:Jake Long

[(:| Mr NR/ King of D.C :|]

After getting Stacy in "Furious Jealsousy", I'd say he gets enough. Trixie and Lao Chi could use more storylines, though.

definately Tom Peters from Tom goes to the Mayor

Here's a few more that get little respect/treated like garbage:

Grim(B&M)
Butters/Pip(South Park)
Ron(Kim Possible)
Jelly Jiggler/Dengakuman(Bo^7)
Mugen/Jin(Samurai Champloo)
Renton(Eureka 7)
Chris/Joe(Family Guy)
Barry(American Dad)
Iago(Aladdin) - Of course he's greedy/troublemaking, but I feel sorry for him when he gets bashed alot like when he gets turned into an hourglass.
GIR(Invader ZIM)
Jake's dad(AD:Jake Long)
Paul's pokemon(PokemonD/P)-no one has mentioned them yet which they totally get little respect.
Kenny/Max/Ray(Beyblade)
Gonzo(Muppet Babies)
Stimpy(Ren & Stimpy)

Hmm...I think that Meg has been dissed far more often than Chris has. Chris has had some moments of genuine respect amongst his family and friends.

As for Joe, it's not that he gets treated like garbage, it's just that FG's writers are constantly writing gags and jokes where the audience is invited to laugh at his affliction. They keep writing more bits that draw attention to Joe's disability and make it the subject of laughter. It's not so much that the character receives shoddy treatment, it's just another example of the "How low can we go?" and the "How much can we get away with?" stance that the FG writers like to take.

I thought of a few. Of course there's Buttons of "Animaniacs." How he'd risk his life to save Mindy only to get yelled at when the episode ends. I'm also thinking Natasha Fatale of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" fame. All she does is support with Boris while he does all the dirty work. Plus he's always the one in the "Mr. Know it All" and "Bullwinkle's Corner" segments. Other than the one about the 'bully at the beach,' Natasha wasn't seen much there. At least Shego works independently every once in a while and gets to do things on her own. I think Natasha deserves that kind of respect as well.

[I love him.]

Milhouse from the Simpsons
Syrus from YuGiOh GX
Guano from Kappa Mikey
Butters from South Park

I read that Trey and Matt said they based Butters off this animator who is such a goody-good, they can't seem to get him upset no matter how much they mess with him.

Mona Lisa (80s-90s TMNT): She had a lot of potential, but she only appeared in one episode!
