Cartoons have been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember. We all have our favorites—mine happens to be Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes. When we think of cartoons, adorable characters like Tweety or dashing ones like Prince Eric often come to mind.
But what about the ones that make us do a double take? The ones that are so weird-looking that they become iconic?
However, there are some hilarious ugly cartoon characters as well that we pretty much ignore. I’ve summed up a list of 20 of these characters that I am going to discuss in this article.
20 Most Hilarious Ugly Cartoon Characters:
(Note: This list is purely for informative purposes! It’s not meant to mock the creators or their designs -just to highlight the humor in their exaggerated features.)
1. Oogie Boogie:
- Creator: Henry Selick
- Appeared in: The Nightmare Before Christmas
The first character that I am going to mention here is Oogie Boogie. It is from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and is a definition of creepy and ugly cartoons. His stitched-together green body type is filled with bugs. It makes every moment creepy and weird to look at.
Although the character is important for the show, it truly makes you cringe to look at it. Despite its appearance, Oogie Boogie is pretty fun to watch.
2. Ursula:
- Creator: Ron Clements and John Musker
- Appeared in: The Little Mermaid
I’ve always found cartoons with octopus-type nature pretty creepy. Ursula takes things to another level in this case. This character has a purplish body and a weird smile. What makes her even creepier is her tentacled form.
Some people may have tolerated her looks but her attitude has made many people her enemy. It means not only her character is ugly, but the way she behaves is also ugly as well. With her wicked smile, she’s one of the biggest Disney villains.
3. Madame Medusa:
- Creator: Woflgang Reitherman
- Appeared in: The Rescuers
Another one of the top ugly cartoon characters that I am going to mention here is Madame Medusa. She has wild red hair and a pointy nose that makes her look pretty weird and creepy.
Medusa’s overall appearance is somewhat sinister and her body reflects it perfectly. She’s not the kind of character that you’d like to meet in a dark alley.
4. Cruella De Vil:
- Creator: Bill Peet
- Appeared in: 101 Dalmatians
An ugly character becomes uglier when you add a sharp personality to it. That’s what Cruella De Vil is all about. She has black and white hair that does not look normal at all. The hair isn’t in the usual black-and-white nature.
It’s split right in the middle making her appearance even creepier looks like ugly cartoon people. You might look at it and get annoyed by the hair as well as her sharp personality. But what makes me creepy is her heavy makeup. It does not suit her at all and makes her look uglier.
5. Beavis:
- Creator: Mike Judge
- Appeared in: Beavis and Butt-Head
Beavis is one of those ugly characters that are hilarious at the same time. He has a big head with shrunken eyes and a weird grin – almost like he’s just eaten the weirdest food experiment gone wrong. What makes him even more hilarious and ugly is his deep voice. Besides that, his strange blonde hair makes him look like he’s just been electrocuted.
However, you shouldn’t let his ugliness fool you into thinking that he’s a boring character. Beavis is the main character of its show and is completely entertaining. His nonsensical rambling makes him both annoying and hilarious.
6. Mr. Magoo:
- Creator: John Hubley
- Appeared in: The Mr. Magoo Show
Mr. Magoo is a great example of the fact that ugly characters can be lovable too. We’ve seen many weird-looking characters be the villains of the show but that’s not the case with Mr. Magoo. He’s lovable but his appearance is a bit odd.
He has squinty and nearly-closed eyes with an oversized nose. This, combined with his tiny round head makes him look even more hilarious.
7. Mr. Crocker:
- Creator: Butch Hartman
- Appeared in: The Fairly OddParents
Mr. Crocker is another example of peak cartoonish ugliness. He is one of those skinny ugly cartoon characters who have very weird body features. He has a hunchbacked posture and oversized ears.
On top of that, his face always looks like he’s about to sneeze. What annoys me the most about Crocker is when he shouts “FAIRY GODPARENTS!” at the top of his lungs.
8. Yzma:
- Creator: Mark Dindal
- Appeared in: The Emperor’s New Groove
Yzma is a character that is pretty hard to ignore because of her weirdness and ugliness. She has a thin frame and sharp cheekbones on an almost skeletal face. Not only that; she has sunken eyes which makes her face look creepier.
With her purplish skin tone, she captures the attention of viewers as one of the funny ugly cartoon characters. It looks kind of like evil clowns who somehow got lost in the wrong story.
9. Rocko Rama:
- Creator: Joe Murray
- Appeared in: Rocko’s Modern Life
Rocko Rama is one of those characters that are the lead characters in a show but still designed in an ugly way. He’s a wallaby which makes him look weird in the first place. However, his design has taken things to another level.
Rocko has a pretty weird head that is designed in an odd way. His nose is giant and the eyes are pretty much wide-opened all the time.
10. Quasimodo:
- Creator: Victor Hugo (in the novel)
- Appeared in: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Another one of the hilarious ugly cartoon characters boy from the world of Disney is Quasimodo. He has asymmetrical facial features making him look strange. He has a hunched back and large sad eyes making him weird to look at.
While his looks might not be appealing, his kind heart and gentle nature make him one of the most beloved characters on this list.
11. Morgana:
- Creator: Disney Studio
- Appeared in: The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea
I am going to once again mention an ugly and strange-looking character from the “The Little Mermaid” universe. This time, I am going to discuss Morgana. You call her a stretched-out version of Ursula. What makes her look unattractive is her bony frame and pale skin. Besides that, Morgana has furrowed eyebrows that automatically give her a sinister look.
12. Uncle Ugo:
- Creator: Enrcio Casarosa
- Appeared in: Luca
Uncle Ugo is going to blow your mind when you look at it. It is a creepy deep sea character that has weird facial and body features. Being a sea creature, Uncle Ugo a slimy skin. Plus, he has bulging eyes and a wide mouth.
Not only that; but another thing that makes this character strange to watch is his thin tentacle-like arms. What I like about this character, though, is its hilarious personality.
13. Squidward Tentacles:
- Creator: Stephen Hillenburg
- Appeared in: SpongeBob SquarePants
Squidward Tentacles is, perhaps, one of the most famous ugly cartoon characters. Its name explains its unattractiveness perfectly. It is a squid that lives in the deep ocean with his friend SpongeBob SquarePants.
He has an odd-looking head and droopy eyes. Another thing that makes him look weird is his big nose and gangly limbs.
14. Ren Hoek:
- Creator: John Kricfalusi
- Appeared in: The Ren & Stimpy Show
You probably wouldn’t call a cartoon character normal if its eyes are covering half of its face. Well, that’s precisely why I have added Ren Hoek to this list. It is a chihuahua-like creature that has pretty odd facial features.
It is the ugliest cartoon characters with bulging eyes and a long face making him look strange. Also, the body of this character is pretty thin and its unpredictable behavior makes things even weirder.
15. Sid the Sloth:
- Creator: Michael J. Wilson
- Appeared in: The Ice Age franchise
Another one of the most famous yet looking ugly cartoon characters is Sid the Sloth. After appearing in all five Ice Age movies, Sid has become very popular. If you are a fan of these movies, Sid may not appear very ugly to you.
However, if you look at it carefully, like a first-timer, you’ll notice all the weird things in its character. It has giant buck teeth and weird eyes and shows a permanently dopey expression.
16. Mr. Gus:
- Creator: Peter Browngardt
- Appeared in: Uncle Grandpa
Mr. Gus is a reptilian creature that has green skin. It has very odd-looking features including its square-shaped head and stiff expression. This grumpy-looking dinosaur is an important character in the show “Uncle Grandpa”. He looks tough and intimidating but actually is one of the most sensitive characters in the show.
17. Edna Mode:
- Creator: Brad Bird
- Appeared in: The Incredibles
Edna Mode is one of the big examples of black ugly cartoon characters and how a strange-looking character can become iconic. She plays a role in the “The Incredibles” movies and is very funny. Her facial features, on the other hand, are not something you’d be pleased to look at.
Further, her strange nose and tiny stature make her look odd. Besides that, she wears huge glasses on her face and has a bob cut. Although she may look weird, he attitude is very bossy and suits the overall nature of the character.
18. Rasputin:
- Creator: Don Bluth
- Appeared in: Anastasia
Rasputin is a villain character that has everything needed to make a cartoon look ugly. He’s one of those male ugly cartoon characters that might not be very famous but its look will get printed on your mind. It has a life-less face and very greenish eyes.
But that’s not all that makes it look unattractive. Rasputin has sunken eyes and skeletal hands. Put a patchy beard on top of it and you have the most weird-looking ugly cartoon character. Besides, Rasputin’s villain personality will make you creep as well.
19. Randall Boggs:
- Creator: Pixar
- Appeared in: Monsters, Inc.
If you love cartoons, you may already have watched the infamous Monsters, Inc. movie. Chances are you may have seen Randall Boggs in it also. Well, if not, just know that it is a character that’s not very good-looking.
It is a slimy reptile creature and has a scaly body. His long and slithering limbs make things even weirder. Besides their appearance, Randall has a very ugly personality.
20. Eustace Bagge:
- Creator: John R. Dilworth
- Appeared in: Courage the Cowardly Dog
Last but not least, Eustace Bagge is another character that I am going to discuss here. He’s the third most ugly cartoon characters with glasses in this list. Not only does he have an annoyed personality, his body features aren’t very decent as well.
He has a long and wrinkled face and wears an oversized pair of glasses. The guy really looks like he hasn’t smiled in a decade. What makes things uglier is his hunched poster and thin body.
Summing Up
Cartoon characters are usually pretty cute or handsome. Sometimes, the artists have to add ugly-looking cartoons to the show to make things interesting. Sometimes they do it while representing villains and sometimes they do it to make things funny.
In any way, these cartoons aren’t very good to look at. The above-discussed list includes some of the top ugly cartoon characters. If you liked reading about them, go watch their relevant shows to know more about them.
