5 villains from our childhood that still inspire us today

Translation: machine translated
Princess love or not. I've always had a soft spot for losers. This refers to the lovable, semi-successful villains from the cartoon series of my childhood. Here are my top 5 "villains" that I still enjoy watching fail today.
Nanette Manoir from "Angela Anaconda"
A fake French accent, golden angelic curls and outrageously rich parents are just a front for her diabolical wickedness. Nanette Monoir makes life hell for Angela Anaconda, a normal but slightly rebellious schoolgirl. On the agenda: Kissing the arse of nudist-inclined teacher Mrs Brinks, exposing Angela and rounding up a soulless following. How could you not love this bitch?
Gundel Gaukeley from "Duck Tales - News from Duckburg"
Okay, can we please talk about the fabulous long bob hairstyle of Scrooge McDuck's female counterpart? As a woman, there's only one thing you want to know: Which hair conditioner creates this shine? Anyone who has such beauty skills, lives in beautiful Italy and, as a woman, only needs a broom to fly can only be an idol.
Helga Pataki from "Hey Arnold!"
From today's perspective, I would politely but firmly distance myself from someone who combines a black monobrow with platinum blonde hair. But while watching the series, you only want one thing: to take the outwardly grumpy Helga to task and impress upon her that it's okay to have feelings for someone you make a public mockery of with the nickname "football head". Oh what girls won't do to save face. #MobbingForLove
Plankton from "Spongebob Squarepants"
I may just be feeling an affinity here because I'm not much taller than a plankton myself (1.50 metres). The poor green wretch was mercilessly flattened every time he tried to take over the world (or Mr Crabs' burger recipe). Size discrimination par excellence, that's all I can say. Frustrating: the perfect contrast to the always positive, naive Spongebob Squarepants, who has more luck than sense with his attitude and gets further than the malicious genius.
Gargamel from "The Smurfs"
If you're thinking of the horrible 3D re-animation in which Papa Smurf poses trashily in sunglasses like a puff daddy for the cinema poster, you're slightly off the mark. I'm actually referring to the old-fashioned animated series in which the villain Gargamel lives in a fantastic, albeit run-down hut and desperately forges new plans to get the blue creatures under his control. After all, all he needs to make gold is a pinch of Smurf. With so much misfortune, bad luck and mishaps, you can only feel sorry for him. But when it comes to Azrael, his cat, my sympathy for evil ends. I'm not that fond of cats.

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
