The appeal of evil

Ever wondered why TV shows, with particular reference to cartoons always contain one or multiple evil but utterly adorable characters? I find it amusing that my preference for cartoons are driven by the presence of these oddities, which thankfully, are such a gift to entertainment, they've got me hooked! Case and example:

Exhibit A: Yzma a.k.a Principle Amzy (which is Yzma spelled backwards); Originally sighted on Disney's The Emperor's New Groove and later in the spin-off, The Emperor's New School. One of the many things I love about her is her googly-eyed appearance, her persistance of assasinating Emperor Kuzco cracks me up. Not to mention her trusty dim-witted sidekick, Kronk. This show is so hilarious, with lots of puns and witty dialogue. Also, the repeated humour is in the song and dance, Yzma and Kronk's entry into their secret lab, and turning Kuzco into animals.

Exhibit B: Brain; As seen on Animaniac's Pinky & the Brain. Brain is really one motivator, one and again he proves that size and species are merely obstacles if you're determined enough to get your way. Brain incessantly devises devious plans to escape from the cage unnoticed (his tail can also be used as a key) with again, another dim-witted sidekick, Pinky. And later, to take over the world. Been a fan for so long, just adore the adult humour and the good quotes. Laine's rating: 8.5 Haha-s

Exhibit C: Stewie from The Family Guy. Born a deranged British baby in an all American family, Stewie is convinced he does not belong. Its lovely that no one actually understands what he's saying on the show but to the audience, he has a Brit accent. Also fantastic how he loathes his biological mother and plans to exterminate her in all terrible ways possible. Beautiful comedy for the whole family! Hehe. Laine's rating: 8 Haha-s
