10 Incredibly Annoying Classic Kids TV Characters

3. The Rat In A Hat (Bananas in Pyjamas)

I'm sorry to say that this abomination came from my home country of Australia. The Rat in a Hat was a sleazy rodent that enjoyed taking advantage of the protagonists, a pair of narcoleptic fruit. He ran a general store, but that didn't stop him trying to generally cause havoc, either for sick personal pleasure or monetary gain. He was usually thwarted by a trio of teddy bears who may or may not have been involved in some sort of sick incestuous cult (this TV show has been a hit for years here, by the way. How and why, I don't know). As well as stroking his whiskers constantly like some arrogant chump and talking like his vocal cords were made from hot grease, the Rat in a Hat didn't even have a cool hat. It was one of those propeller baseball caps that seem to be the chosen headwear of the socially awkward, the intellectually stunted, and that creepy fat kid from Gary Larson's cartoons. In short everything about him is just plain vile.
