10 Hilariously Unthreatening Movie Villains

1. The Leprechaun - Leprechaun

All the great horror movie villains share one common trait: they are not the Leprechaun.

The villain of the surprisingly long-running Leprechaun franchise, Warwick Davis' Leprechaun is one of the least imposing horror villains of all time. Granted, his silliness is sort of the point, but that doesn't excuse the atrocious Irish accent.

This pint-sized Irish stereotype prances his way to space and back in a series of tongue-in-cheek slasher films which, you know what, aren't that bad. Never once is the Leprechaun intimidating or scary; a grotesque caricature so ridiculous that makes Chucky looks like Jason Voorhees by comparison.

Keep an eye out for one Jennifer Aniston in the Leprechaun's debut feature, as that film's final girl. The future Rachel from Friends may have gone up in the world since then, but the Leprechaun remains as ridiculous as ever. He'll still kick your ass though, teeny-tiny elf booties or no.
