2. Joffrey Baratheon

Joffrey Baratheon is one of the worst TV villains of all time, let alone on Game of Thrones. The spoiled and entitled character is truly terrible from the moment we meet him, always looking out for his own personal gain and taking pleasure in hurting others. He has no empathy and plays games with people for entertainment. When he becomes the king, it’s obvious that he’s not suited for the role. He’s totally incompetent and makes decisions that hurt Westeros and those around him.

Joffrey’s responsible for the deaths of many beloved characters, including Ned Stark. It’s so hard to see how he treats Sansa, and overall he only causes destruction with every move he makes.

It’s no surprise that many Game of Thrones fans’ favorite scene is Joffrey’s death.

1. Ramsay Bolton

Joffrey and Ramsay are pretty much on the same level of evil, but Ramsay just takes his actions to another level. I personally dislike him the most out of any other Game of Thrones character, and I think that’s a widely regarded opinion.

Ramsay Bolton is completely sadistic and is motivated by power and hurting others. He enjoys torturing and mutilating his victims, both physically and mentally. He memorably castrates Theon Greyjoy and turns him into a broken shell of a man known as Reek. He also brutally murders his own father to become the Warden of the North.

The worst moments from Ramsay are during his marriage to Sansa Stark. He sexually assaults her and treats her so terribly, it’s very difficult to watch. There’s absolutely nothing to like about Ramsay and his death scene is one of the most satisfying in TV history. “Battle of the Bastards” is hands-down my favorite episode of the whole series.
