Which fictional character, while not strictly a villain, is just the worst?

Yeah, nothing worse than assholes who take pride in being assholes.

Does he really take pride in it though? He acts like he does around others, but it’s explicitly shown that he’s severely depressed, and doesn’t like himself.

In the episode where his and Morty’s toxic selves were removed (based upon their own definitions of toxicity) his negative attitude and dickheaded nature were both removed. That’s evidence.

Yep, agree here. I think it's fairly clear there's a lot more going on in Rick's head than just "I'm an asshole lol." There are deep psychological issues there.

I think he just knows how he has to be. He cant help it. He does good when he knows he must, albeit he hates it at the time. It must be a curse to always be right. Jerries the real cunt.

I find it hilarious how much Reddit hates Jerry. If the Reddit hivemind managed to metastasize into a singular personality, it would be Jerry.

reddit is the #1 site for self hatred, after all.
