Top 11 Funniest Disney Villains - Nostalgia Critic 

Because he likes to go one step beyond

Some Disney Villains have their funniest moments they're usually fun for a laugh & remember when you wish upon a star... evil will find you!

Unshaven Doug just looks so odd ... Not Bad, but that's just not how he's supposed to look, yk?

LOVE YOUR CONTENT GUYS 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Pretty please, it is the day 129 waiting for the ,,G-force " movie review by the ,,Nostalgia Critic" himself! Please see this Doug!

Complete with Yzma jamming her *eyeball* through the doorhole.

"That's is, Kronk! Break the door down!" "Break it down? Are ya kidding me? This is Hand-carved mahogany"

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

So excited somebody still remembers Schoolhouse Rock!

The fact she looks back at Kronk while saying “or” in that sarcastic ‘happy now?” way just makes it even funnier.

James Woods did a great job in making Hades a good villain compared to other villainous versions of Hades Sadly we never got the proper depiction of Hades in the Disney Plus series of Percy Jackson either

Hercules (1997), actually. the only year that Disney didn't have an animated film that isn't Disney renaissance is Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas from 1993, unless you wish to consider it a Disney renaissance film.

The only time he didn’t voice him was for a single singing line in Mickey’s House of Villains where Rob Paulsen subbed, but then he did Hades’s other singing line in the song. Kinda weird since both lines are just speak-singing anyway (and James isn’t a singer) but oh well.

I heard this.

My sister and I quote that line all the time!

And probably a bit meta considering that Hades was partially modeled after Jeffrey Katzenberg, who had just cofounded Dreamworks around that time. Katzenberg would later get back at them with Lord Farquad in “Shrek” being modeled after Micheal Eisner.

Thirsty?🥤

My favorite line ever😂😂😂

"Somebody call IX - I - I !"

Imagine how she'd say she is if she worked retail.

No lie, Cruella's answer briefly enters my mind whenever I am asked this question 😆

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hades is my favorite too. An interesting comparison between him and Hercules I always found ironic was that Hades keeps every deal he makes with Hades but Hercules breaks the only deal he makes with Hades, so Hades acts more heroic than the supposed hero of the story in this regard atleast.

@@mikecabral2420THAT’S an interesting point…you’ve actually stumbled across the peculiar notion of what “heroism” is, in general. Is it sticking to your word no matter what? Admirable…if your intentions are noble. But then, what is “noble”? Is it achieving worthy deeds? Something no one has done before? That’s the classical notion. Is it going against your own ideals; if it means protecting those who can’t? Or it is destructive to yourself? I like the subtle theme of that particular movie…a series of flawed people; making flawed decisions. Hades has a HUGE chip on his shoulder because he got an unenviable job of wrangling dead people…and his brother is sort of a jerk about it. Megara was betrayed by her infatuation with an unfaithful man; and now she’s got trust issues. Hercules has never fit in; and desires adoration so that people accept him. …what makes the people “heroes” are their capacity to overcome their particular “beefs” in healthy ways. Hades chose to unshackle horribly destructive forces, and arrange the murder of his brother’s child. Megara chose to allow herself to trust again. Hercules came to realize the difference between being a celebrity; and self-sacrifice. The difference between power vs. strength.

That scene alone sells me. I’ve even seen it recreated with Idia from Twisted Wonderland.

I mostly burst out laughing when Hades blows his top. Like when he says: I'm about to rearrange the cosmos... and the one schlemiel who can louse it up... is waltzing around IN THE WOODS!

hercules didnt so much break the deal, more like found an (unintentional) loophole, but that is a fun observation@@mikecabral2420

"Riiiiiiight"

"Oh yeah! It's all coming together."

"wrong lever" is a classic moment

"By all accounts, it doesn't make sense"

"Oh, that's it! [cocks pitchfork like a shotgun] She's going down"

"He's tryin' to lead you down the "path of righteousness"! I'm gonna lead down the path that rocks!"

What about: Now go along and play with your little toys.

Didn't Woods have some... controversy for something he said a while back?

Idk

Agreed

no@@louisduarte8763

@@louisduarte8763lets no go there and enjoy the comedy alright?

R.I.P Gilbert Gottfried

My favorite would be when him & Jafar are outdoing their evil giggles/ laughs.

@@platypusbunneh327 Yeah

Honestly, I always thought he said "P.J." not pinky.

My favorite line from that character is in one of the sequels "Alladin and the 40 thieves" "Meet your match, zorro!" "Good birdie. Polly want a littl-" "Say 'cracker' and I'll let you have it ON PRINCIPLE!"

That’s actually awesome!

My brother and I almost broke our VHS because if hiw many times we kept rewinding JUST for that moment. I was about to be mad that Critic wasnt bringing that up, then cracked up hearing it again, AND the number of layers of how funny that is. ALSO...I never noticed the Hook and George were the same voice--and I'm the one in my family that can pick out all the voices/faces!!!

Honestly, that was the main reason I could never take Disney's Captain Hook seriously, compared to Tim Curry's Captain Hook.

Where smee knocks him to the bottom of the pond with the oar as he's screaming blood murder is the best part ever

Smee has the droopy voice because he is voiced by bill Thomson which he used that voice on radio as Wallace Wimple who was the inspiration for droopy and went so far to hire bill Thomson to do the voice of droopy

@@Nick-ty9us I think he also voiced the park ranger in those Humpfry the Bear cartoons, as well as the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland?

You got that right.

He truly is the best. Just down right amazing

There is a reason he is a villain in almost all the KH games, he just works off the craziness that is KH 😂 I even think he is coming back for the 4th one.

Even if I am not a fan of James Woods the person (no I won't get into it), he is irreplaceable as Hades.

@@ChannelAwesome hades personality reminds me of the dragon king. From the monkey king especially the henchmen

Also, probably the only male god who doesn’t try to fuck any human female he sees

Yeah, he always gets a bad rap these days because he gets associated with Satan, Hell, etc. by modern standards.

If anything, he's one of the only ones who actually just does his job, lmao

And keeps faithful @@NeoAke92

He's the only Greek god that you could even remotely say is Lawful Good.

Yes!😅😢

Yes

Absolutely yes! As someone who watched a lot of anime in his life, I'm sick of villains being written as so unlikable, that the viewer just wants them dead! Bring back more complex, sympathetic and comedic villains!

@@nine_tails137 As you can tell by my user name, me too I do think both can work. We want heroes to win because the villains makes us want to root for them And the same time we don't want our villains to be generic and 1D. Especially in more complex story telling. Let them be funny, have moments of sadness, etc

I can't even remember the last time we got a Disney villain who was JUST evil and imposing. Probably Mother Gothel from Tangled.

What about drakken and shego

I dunno, Lord Hater would give Doof a run for his money.

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. 🎶

Doofenshmirtz always got huge laughs out of me. He was great.

Don’t forget Bill Cipher

Still cracks me up that that was an adlib. Why did they even bother with a script?

@@ashleightompkins3200 Even better, I heard that it was kept in because it made Robin Williams laugh.

@@glowworm2 That's right

Scar is one of my Honorable mentions for this list, for his hilariously sarcastic bantering, particularly for the scene when young Simba is bragging to him about being the future king ("Oh, goody." "Yes, well, forgive me for not leaping for joy; Bad back, you know."). My other Honorable Mentions include McLeach, Stromboli, and King Candy.

@@Adamguy2003 oh hellyeah! I forgot McLeach! Can't go wrong with George C. Scott. "I didn't make it all the way to the third grade for nothing!"

The year had just started though.

Hell-freakin-yeah!

Food and those brief moments when things go right.

I can see these three hanging out together and I need this crossover in my life.

Relatable 😂

“I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day.” Her delivery is just dripping with pure sarcasm, it’s so good.

Very True!

Exactly

@@chasehedges6775 Says the guy who agreed with a jerk last time this guy commenting on this channel.

Good description of this list, Mr. Dragon. 😊

@@kenterminateddq5311 Meh, Nope not really.

Yeah, fair.

I think my favorite bit is when Hades asks Jafar if they're having a budget cut when he's wearing his old man disguise from the first movie.

You know Jafar is a special kind of evil psychopath when even Hades, Lord of the Underworld, feels unsettled by him

@@glowworm2 Pfffftt, I totally forgot he said that! 😂🤣 Ah I love that!

@@EmperorShaoKahn123 Ehh, I wouldn't say unsettled or intimidated per se. Hades was more annoyed by Jafar's eccentric personality. Like you said, he's the Lord of the Underworld, he could destroy Jafar in a heartbeat. And actually, while they were talking to each other about their nemesis, Hades was making fun of Jafar for losing to a "mere mortal". Jafar confronted him yelling "Insolent cur! In battle Aladdin would shame and humiliate you!" But Hades was having NONE of that and was like, "First off, this is MY home. I'M the one that does the VOICE RAISING AROUND HERE!" So no, Hades doesn't take shit from anyone. Just because he's a funny smooth talker doesn't mean he's a push over. 😉

And then they laugh together

👍

Great performances from them.

I'm still pissed they removed this comedic scene in the actual movie: "Pull the lever Kronk! WRONG LEVER!!!!

I would’ve put them at number two but they’re in the top five so I’m not too mad. 😂

🎶I FIND HIS DEMISE QUITE CAPTIVATING...🎶

“Take responsibility for my own actions, or blame you? BLAME YOU WINS, HANDS DOWN”

YES!!!!

Goob was just so hilarious in a way that also emphasized the message of the movie so much. His lingering on ONE bad situation as a kid that, in retrospect wasn't more than a hiccup and most would let go, ultimately ruins his life. So what does he do? Completely blames Louis and sets out to destroy him 😂😂 I love the way he so in deep with his own self-pity that he's inherently baffled why things go wrong for him. He just never correlates yelling at potential adoptive parents or ignoring his classmates to his loneliness- its all because Louis made him miss a ball in a little league game. In a way Goob just never grows up 😂 Then to couple him with a non-verbal but brilliant villain like Doris, who has to keep working in spite of him solely to remain inconspicuous, it's just a fantastic combination

"Hey Goob" "How's it going Goob?"

Cricket: Are you really gonna shoot a PUPPY, Jack? 😰😰😰 Jack: Yeah, in the face, why? 😈😈😈😈😈

* Jack Horner

Yea it's like that evil bc it's fun type of villain is sorely missed. Sure it's one note but if you NAIL that note it doesn't matter

Especially when the music blasts with the Queen's lines!

Me too! I consider that almost certainly the Queen's funniest moment in the entire movie, I'm so glad the Critic I cludes it when talking about her in this!

OH THAT IS PERFECT

Amusingly, Mim's voice actress was NOT June Foray, who voiced Witch Hazel and Magica for Disney even though Doug implied it was and it sure _sounds_ like her. If Foray HAD voiced Mim, that would have just made it funnier!

You can just tell the actor George C. Scott had the best time playing that character.

@@iamtriston666 "Did you eat one of my eggs?" 🤣

@@LivinMyJeffLife " 😊Joanna... 😊 Did you know there was a razorback in my truck? 😊 😠 did ya?! 😡 DID YA?! 🤬 THERE WAS A RAZORBACK IN MY TRUCK!!!"

These are not Joanna eggs

Seriously underrated and badass threat. I have no idea why he's no more beloved.

Hook did hit and yell at Smee a few times. But yeah it was both funny and touching to see Ursula mourn her eels.

Yes! Oh my gosh, his facial expressions at that part had me laughing. There was such a whiplash of emotions between the sad look and the sudden cutthroat demand that Flaversham complete that robot for him.

Yes. I was very disappointed in this list. Especially since he referenced "be prepared."

His response to Simba about being "a monkey's uncle" has made me laugh for years.

Shame it's not available on UK Disney Plus.

Woods and Lisa Kudrow as Aphrodite were just perfect additions

Especially considering every Dalmatian has a unique spot structure. No two are alike.

Shut up

Xerox cameras came in mighty handy. And we have Ub Iwerks to thank for that.

@@geoffreyrichards6079 It was Iwerks? Wow. I thought it was Max Fleischer (he invented Rotoscoping)

@@Soufriere84 Oh, no. He didn’t invent the process, he merely introduced it into the studio’s system of film production.

My personal theory is that he hates having to constantly project 'cool and composed'; that he's angry all the time and not allowed to show it, so his rage just keeps burning hotter under the surface until something snaps because there's nowhere for him to safely vent.

My theory is that when he gets angry, his flames spread out across this body instead of being concentrated in one spot, which could spread out the heat and thus make the flames less hot. You can think about it as blue flames being him in control as you mostly see blue flames in controlled settings, like a science lab or kitchen, compared to when they spread and turn red and orange, like wild fires, when he loses his temper. While the blue flames in a lab or kitchen are hotter, they're less dangerous than wild fires.

@@SangoSon12 That’s an interesting theory. I like it.

Unlike a certain other critic

Doug definitely has a good sense of humor at being g made fun of.

@@mrcritical6751 Why do I suddenly have a craving for M&Ms of the green variety?

Big respect for the Nostalgic Man.

Bimmy would seethe at being made fun of.

Solid choices!

@@ChannelAwesome thx so much! 😊 love u NC!

@@stewarde17 wreck it ralph isn’t pixar.

@@streamingservices2469 was responding to a now deleted reply.

@@EyeOfArgus gotcha thx

I'm right there with you. On the floor because *pop* right out of the chair.

Pat Carroll will be missed… But, she had a very long life (died at 95) and managed to voice Ursula one last time for that Disney-verse game… It's pretty incredible to be able to voice a character for 30 years when you're already not-at-all young to start with

Pretty much. They started planning the movie out shortly afterwards as well, but WWII forced them to shelve the film temporarily till they had enough money to resume production in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s. It’s interesting looking into the early stages of the film - certain elements like the character designs and scene beats were largely kept for the final film, but the story and atmosphere were a lot darker, somber, and more sinister; more comparable to “Pinocchio”.

@@geoffreyrichards6079 And then Walt nearly lost his shirt on Pinocchio (and Fantasia), mostly because the War meant he couldn't distribute in Europe where those two films would be more popular, forcing him to go with the more upbeat "Disney" tone we know today. Any time he went outside the box (Sleeping Beauty), it backfired on him. Not sure how he got away with 101 Dalmatians -- I guess everyone loves puppies?

Snoooops! What’s wrong?!?! 😆

​@@tayloredwards1675SHOTGUN BLAST

Only in movies there tv shows are where villains shine now

Agreed, as an anime watcher, I hate how one-dimensional most villains are. So much so that the viewer just wants them dead! But Disney Villains like Hades and even Power Rangers villains like Rita and Lord Zedd crack me up! Give us more villains like that please!!!!

Agreed. Nowadays rhey have to be drop Dead serious with no comedy at all.

@@mediakira6621 in fairness wasnt the Horned King a serious villain

@@nicholassims9837 Well... yeah he was. However, most modern anime villains are less cool and fun to watch, and are just unlikable jackasses you want to see dead. Also maybe it's just me, but I've noticed a lot of modern villains are written with the stereotypical bully personality. Saying lines like: "Aww, are you gonna cry?!" Basically talking down to the hero, rather than enjoying being evil.

Yeah 👍

An extra fun detail to hammer in the fact that Ratigan is indeed a rat is that all the mice characters have 4 fingers. Ratigan has five.

@@glowworm2 That's cool but I think you missed the point.

The cartoonish style really works for that humour, an exaggerated slapstick. Take the sequence of Yzma being booted from the house, she’s tarred, feathered and piñata’d, and it’s absolutely hilarious that Pacha’s kids are doing this to her. Kronk is on his own level, too stupid to grasp what Yzma is really going for but completely loyal to her whilst off in his own world. He elevates the Angel vs devil on the shoulder gag by showing Yzma, Kuzco and Pacha, and by extension the audience, what he looks like conversing with them and they’re not present. All three have WTF reactions.

Was looking for this comment, I wish there was more of the modern Disney villains haha tamotoa for sure. I would probably just add mother gothel as an honorable mention too haha

It helps when they let a lot of the voice actors improvise and just copied their expressions.

OLD old Disney mostly used veteran radio actors to voice characters. Those men and women knew what they were doing and rarely ad-libbed -- they didn't have to because the writing was there so they could focus on acting. There's a neat video (in color!) I saw of the Lady & The Tramp voice actors recording a scene in 1954

Scar is definitely one of the top tier Disney villains in general for sure and he’s great, but in terms of the funniest, he isn’t exactly the most hilarious/humorous of the villains.

@Lauren_210 I find his over dramatic sarcasm and dry wit very funny, I personally would have considered him above at least Ursula, maybe Jafar
