12 Ugly Cartoon Characters Boy Who Defined Our Childhood

We all have grown up watching some of the most iconic cartoon shows such as Tom & Jerry and The Powerpuff Girls. Most of the boy characters in many series are very cute, handsome, and adorable.

On the other hand, some ugly cartoon characters are just… well, ugly.

It’s understandable that creators add these characters in the shows to give a fun touch. In this article, I am going to discuss 12 of these ugly cartoon characters boy who defined our childhood.

12 Ugly Cartoon Characters Boy:

There are many cartoons shows where you see ugly cartoon characters boy. The list that I’m about to share with you contains ugly characters from different series. Their details are shared below:

1. Shrek | Shrek Movie Series

Created by William Steig, Shrek is one of the most iconic animated characters and there’s no doubt about that. The character’s life story is pretty interesting but it does not look good physically at all. It’s a green ogre with a stout build and wears a tunic and a brown vest.

What makes Shrek look pretty ugly is big head and weirdly shaped ears. Well, don’t get me started on his short height which adds more to his ugliness. Despite these things, I love this character and can’t wait to see him in the Shrek 5 movie next year.

2. Squidward Tentacles | SpongeBob SquarePants

Since its release back in 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has been one of my favorite TV shows of all times. Well, for now, I am going to discuss an ugly supporting character of this cartoons how which is Squidward Tentacles.

Its appearance isn’t what I would call attractive. It is an octopus who lives under the ocean and has a pretty weird body shape. His oversized head and droopy eyes always give him a sad look. What makes him look even uglier is its long, tubular nose. Well, we still can’t question his friendship with SpongeBob, right?

3. Mr. Denzel Crocker | The Fairy Godparents

Mr. Denzel Crocker, created by Butch Hartman, is another boy character in the cartoon world which has a very ugly appearance. His character is a school teacher who has very uneven physical characteristics. He has a hunchback and sunken cheek which are really not easy on the eyes of the viewers.

Well, what I personally don’t like about Denzel is its crooked and unsettling grin that’s always too big. It makes his character not only ugly but also a little bit of annoying.

4. Ed | Ed, Edd n Eddy

The name in the list of ugly cartoon characters boy is Ed. Appearing in “Ed, Edd n Eddy”, Ed is a character with pretty awkward physical appearance. His body shape is far from being called normal.

He has a very large head and his body shape is very uneven. What makes him weirder is his dopey expressions. These expressions make Ed look like he has no idea where he is or what’s going on around him.

5. Quasimodo | The Hunchback Of Notre Dame

Well, when we’re talking about ugly cartoon characters boy, it is impossible to leave Quasimodo out of the list. Him being the MC of The Hunchback of Notre Dame has made our childhoods very special. However, it does not mean that his asymmetrical body is easy to look at.

This hunchback bell ringer has a very weird physical appearance. His one eye is smaller than the other and his nose is crooked. On top of that, he has a hunchback making the character even uglier. Well, he’s a very kind hearted character which makes him loved by the fans.

6. Beavis | Beavis And The Butthead

When I remember watching Beavis and the Butthead, Beavis’s evil laugh still rings in my head. It is, perhaps, a huge reason why children loved watching this character. However, his physical appearance was very awkward. His character has blond hair and a narrow, and somewhat of a skeletal, face.

His pointy nose and wide nostrils is what makes him look even weirder. Although the other MC, Butthead, is also pretty ugly, Beavis’s physical asymmetry is on another level.

7. Ed Bighead | Rocko’s Modern Life 

Ed Bighead is a character whose personality perfectly portrays his ugliness. He is a middle-aged toadfish character who is famous for his grumpy attitude. Well, his attitude isn’t the only thing that’s unattractive about him. He’s physically weird-looking as well.

Ed Bighead, has green skin and wide blue lips. He has a few hairs on his head and wears a white shirt and brown suspenders. This dressing looks pretty funny on him because of his overall uneven body.

8. Oogie Boogie | The Nightmare Before Christmas

Another famous ugly cartoon characters boy is Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas animated movie. This character’s name isn’t the only goofy thing about him. He has a very ugly and hilarious physical appearance as well.

Oogie Boogie is literally a walking sack stitched down in an asymmetrical way. He has short legs and his arms do not have hands. For me, Oogie Boogie isn’t only ugly but also disgusting. That is because his body is filled with bugs and insects who crawl out when the sack is torn.

9. Popeye | Popeye The Sailor

Well, don’t get me wrong, I’m still fan of the exceptional strength that Popeye possesses. However, he isn’t very attractive. Although he has a well-built body, his face is very awkward and asymmetrical. The first thing you notice about his face is his popped eye (hence the name).

Besides that, his oversized chin also makes the face looks odd. He has a small head compared to the size of his chin which makes him look uglier. As iconic as it is, his smoking pipe adds to the overall physical awkwardness as well.

10. Bluto | Popeye The Sailor

Popeye isn’t the only ugly character in the Popeye the Sailor cartoon show. Bluto, the antagonist of the show, is also very unattractive. He is very massive which makes him look very beastly. His overall body symmetry is very weird as well. For example, Bluto’s head is very small compared to the rest of his body.

Some other facial features that make him ugly are his thick and unkempt beard along with big eyebrows. Also, the character’s eyes are pretty small compared to his overall body which adds to his unattractiveness as well.

11. Uncle Ruckus | The Boondocks

Another popular name in the list of ugly cartoon characters boy is Uncle Ruckus. He’s one of those characters who not only has physical ugliness, but also has a ugly personality. Physically, he has very strange facial features and has a very unkempt appearance.

Ruckus’s eyes are very yellowish giving him an uncomfortable look and his wrinkled skin make him look unhealthy. What makes the character overall ugly as well annoying is its self-hatred as well as outlandish beliefs.

12. The Great Gazoo | The Flintstones

Last but not least, The Great Gazoo is another ugly character that I’d like to mention in this list. Gazoo is an alien character who belongs to the planet Zetox. He has a very odd physical appearance making the character very unattractive.

He has a very tiny green body and a bulbous head. He also has very wide eyes which looks very strange on his tiny body. What makes the character even more odd is its helmet. Although it is created to give the character a futuristic look, the antennas at the helmet make him look funnier rather than futuristic.
