10 Video Game Villains Who SUCK At Being Evil

8. Bob The Killer Goldfish - Earthworm Jim

Dead Rising Remake
Shiny Entertainment

Earthworm Jim is an old-school 2D platformer that's mainly known for two things: its odd choice of protagonist and its even stranger choice of the villain.

You'd think that being nothing but an oversized worm, Jim would be a giant pushover, but his arch nemesis, Bob the Killer Goldfish, is quite literally a pushable joke.

Despite being the main antagonizing force and having a separate boss fight, Bob isn't the killer he makes himself out to be. In reality, he is just a small guppy trapped in a fishbowl, and when you finally meet face-to-face, all it takes is a gentle nudge to smash his glass cage to bits and instantly defeat him.

It makes sense, considering he really is just a goldfish, no mutated arms or muscles included. However, since he's made up to be quite the villain, with his plans of flooding the world and whatnot, you really build up an expectation that he would do more than just awkwardly wiggle in a bowl.

Well, at least it's obvious why he's so bent on creating a second deluge. That way he won't have to worry about random people knocking over his only means of survival.
