Personally, *my* vote goes for those two kids and the monkey fom Space Ghost.
They really detracted from his image... ;)

TOP 10 WORST CARTOON CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME (WITH COMMENTARY)
#10- Tweety Bird- You know there's a problem when every single kid roots
for the "hero" to be devoured in each episode. No sense of humor. No
personality. Annoying voice. Plus he was always tattling. I knew kids
like this growing up. Most of them ate paste, sat in the front of the
bus, and got me in trouble.
#9- Grape Ape- A real moron. All he knows how to say is his name. And
he does so non-stop for a half an hour. I'd rather watch "Davey and
Goliath covet their neighbors model airplane."
#8- Olive Oyl- Am I the only one out there who thought this was one lady
NOT worth fighting over? And that's what they did every episode! She
talks like Edith Bunker and looks like a pipe cleaner with a cheap hat.
Hey, Popeye, you're a sailor... you can do better! Plus Olive can never
decide if she wants to date that jerk Bluto or not. The girl is just
bad news.
#7- Petunia Pig- Remember her? Porky's girlfriend? She was a real
zero. What was the point of her anyway? To make Porky look good? Come
on, who did they think they're fooling. We all know Porky is gay.
#6- Pebbles & Bam-Bam, as teenagers- What were they thinking? Were
they trying to cash in on the "Joanie loves Chachi" thing? And how come
every cartoon teenager plays in crumby rock band? An awful -and
thankfully shortlived- idea.
#5- Pepe LePew- Hello, Warner Brothers, ever heard of sexual harassment?
Let's take a good look at this character; a horny, rapist skunk who's
attracted to other species! NOT good for the kids. Plus, worse still,
he's French.
#4- Alan, from Josie and the Pussy Cats- How weak was this "Fred"
clone? They even gave him an ascot, for crying out loud. Well, I knew
Fred. I grew up with Fred. Fred was like a friend of mine. Let me
tell you something...you're no Fred.
#3- Zan and Zana, the Wondertwins- How many times do we have to say it?
Leave the crimefighting to the professionals! "Form of... an idiot!"
They should have been voted out of the Hall of Justice a long time ago.
There's no room for dead weight in this game.
#2- Kazoo, from the Flintstones- It's like "Hmmm, a miniature, green
spaceman who appears only to Fred Flintstone isn't enough of a stretch.
I know! Let's give him a snotty London accent!" Um, could I get a drug
test from Hanna Barbara, please?
#1- Scrappy Doo- And, really, who else COULD it be? This guy ruined
Scooby Doo! Just came in and ruined it! Scrappy is the Yoko Ono of
Saturday morning cartoons. I can't even talk about it anymore. It's
too upsetting.
