10 Most Irredeemably Evil Villains In TV History

1. Joffrey Baratheon - Game Of Thrones

Ramsay Bolton Game Of Thrones

In a countdown of the most evil TV villains, there can only be one winner. The rest of these guys are bad, but none of them can match the petulant wickedness of the artist formerly known as Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson). 

Joffrey was actually the spawn of an incestuous relationship between Jaimie and Cersei Lannister, so he may have always been at a disadvantage where his sanity was concerned. Be that as it may, over the course of 3 and a bit seasons of Game Of Thrones this pampered sadist committed some truly reprehensible acts. His execution of Ned Stark and subsequent treatment of Sansa was only the beginning, as he progressed to senseless torture and murder (poor Ros) to satisfy his depraved bloodlust. 

He eventually got his comeuppance when he was poisoned to death at his wedding at the beginning of Season 4. Though fans rejoiced, there's no denying a villainous hole was left in the show that even Ramsay Bolton still hasn't managed to adequately fill. 

As Bronn so accurately observed at one point, there really is no cure for being a c*nt.
