The Simpsons: 15 Most Annoying Characters Ever

11. Santa€™s Little Helper

20th Century Fox Television20th Century Fox TelevisionOk, so Santa€™s Little Helper is a dog who, unlike most other cartoon dogs, actually acts like one. This means that it would be unfair to expect a lot from him in terms of character development, recurring gags, stuff like that. Moreover, he has also been featured prominently in many episodes: he became a father, he was a mascot for Duff, he was a police dog, he passed obedience school, he even got into a fight with an ostrich once. As it turns out, he went through more diverse and wacky adventures than many human characters on the show. So why is he annoying? Because he€™s not cute, that€™s why. Every time Santa€™s Little Helper appears on screen, the first thing that pops to mind is the countless other breeds that could have been used as the basis for him and would have looked better. Even if you€™re a fan of greyhounds, the choice still isn€™t right. Santa€™s Little Helper is supposed to be cowardly, stupid and lazy €“ three qualities that don€™t characterize greyhounds. Wouldn€™t he have been better as a giant, fluffy St. Bernard?
