GAME OF THRONES' Joffrey Baratheon Tops The Shortlist's "Greatest TV Villains Ever" List

Could there be any other choice? The most evil sumbitch in a show full of evil sumbitch's has been named tv's greatest ever villain by The Shortlist. The Walking Dead's The Governor and Skeletor from He-Man also made the cut.

Despite being one of the newest faces on the list and only being around for 3 seasons so far, the vicious spawn of Cersei and Jamie Lannister, Joffrey "Baratheon", has been named the most vile villain in television history. Game Of Thrones is full of pretty shady characters, but most of them have some redeeming qualities..not our Joffrey! His evilness arguably reached it's highest point last season when he tortured and murdered everyone's favorite "working girl", Roz. Here's what The Shortlist had to say about the little bollocks:

"As anyone who has been to school (so, pretty much everyone then) will readily attest, kids can be right little shits. Step forward from the dark, therefore, Joffrey Baratheon. A vicious child with no sense of morality his self-entitlement knows no bounds and being heir to the Iron Throne is left unchecked. Like some classic evil Prince in Shakespeare, Joffrey will stop at nothing to ensure reality is bent to his will."


And even fresher face also made the list: The Governor from The Walking Dead, with He-Man's eternal pain in his side Skeletor is the only other CBM related character. Check out the full list of 25 at the link below and see if you think they left anyone out.

I hate Joffrey. He's such an evil little bastard. I hope he dies next season. He's way worse than Lena Headey's character. If I had to pick which Character I hate the most, its Joffrey.

Joffrey seems to be the only nonredeemable character in Game of Thrones. Even his grandfather has redeemable qualities.

Well, there's also Ramsay Bolton but you guys haven't seen the worst of him yet (believe it or not)

I swear if the show decides to kill him off I will celebrate like no other. I seriously never thought I would despise a tv character so much

To think this is the little kid from Batman Begins you felt sorry for... Awww, he got himself some Batman tech.
Now, I just Hate this kid. (the King Joffrey character).
This kid is portraying that role so great I really cant distinguish him from the role. King Joffrey is PURE EVIL.

GREAT ACTOR!!!

@Ror yea, bastard Bolton is a crazy little runt. Although, Iwan Rheon is a good actor, he was great in Misfits.

Good call, the little bastard seeps evil. Great combo of writing and acting to make such a hated character.

The Governor only made it because the shows popularity. The Governor from the comic? Why hell yes he should have made it, not the sorry excuse we got for one in season 3.

And yes Joffrey is the biggest [foo foo] of all time!

Batman's at fault for creating this monster you see what happens when you give your tech to a little kid. Little shit head thinks he's king of the world, Now I fear what the kid Harly from IM3 is gonna do. A law should be passed which does not allow Superheroes to give lil kids any sort of tech what so ever. And only then will the world be free of Joffrey's

It helps that the actor's face is a villain's face.
No offence to the actor but he's cast because thats not a leading man's face..... it's kinda snide and weasley.
I just wanna slap him before he's even opened his mouth to talk or him do anything reprehensible.

Evil little shit that character. Good Actor (because apparently he's a nice guy IRL).

That villain list is a bit odd. You can't really be the "villain" if your character is the show's protagonist -- in that case, you'd be an Anti-Hero. Tony Soprano, Don Draper, and Nucky may not be good people, but they can't really be considered villains.

He's a good actor, I give you that but I hate him. I love how he gets slapped around in the face. hahaha. Especially by his own mom! I love Lena, she's my fave actress on the show, even though she plays a bitch but I still love her.

Never read the books but I've seen every episode and I am seriously hoping that either Sansa or Tyrion gets to be the one to kill Joffrey

I saw somewhere that after GoT, he plans to quit acting. Kind of a shame, cause this kid's got talent.

He's [frick]ed up but Little Finger in my opinion scarier.

Also the Governor was disappointing in the show, at least thus far.

Melkaticox - that was my first reaction too. but then I tried to think of somebody worse. nothing came up.

The Daleks, Ben Linus and Sylar disagree.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with GoT being current.

Let's not forget young King Joffrey was probably emotionally scarred from his few frames experiences with dragons in Reign of Fire.

Spoiler Alert... The little bitch gets what's coming to him this next season. It's about damn time too!!!

Joffrey's a good pick, but the Governor was a little disappointing in The Walking Dead. Most of season three was awesome, but the final episodes were anticlimactic, the big fight that they were building between Rick and the Governor all season long ended with just a little skirmish. I'd put the Cigarette Smoking Man from The X Files in place of the Governor any day.
