Honestly there were a few I thought of that could have been included on this list lol. Discord from MLP (Even though he does become reformed he's still on the same level of chaos as Bill. ) Magica Despell from Ducktales and since were doing 80s I still say that the Dark King from Rainbow Brite still left a impact on me to this day. To see what he turned the entire world into at the beginning of that series still is shocking to me. I don't know if he counts but Brain from Pinky and the Brain. He literally tries to take over the world... every episode. XDDD
Dr. Robotnik from Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog is also one of the most iconic cartoon villains... And also one of the most memed. 😂

'Jack Spicer', 'Wuya' and 'Chase Young' from the original 'Xiaolin Showdown' were among the best cartoon villains I had seen as a kid.
Doofenshmirtz isn't really a bad guy, he's a good guy pretending to be bad. Though he is a good father.

Megatron, Shredder, Skeletor, and Cobra Commander will always be my favorites. Amazing job on the video WatchMojo.
You left out Mumra from the Thundercats.
So I’m guessing villains like Viggo Grimborn from Dragons Race to the edge, Nox from Wakfu, Shendu from Jackie Chan Adventures, and Chase Young, Wuya, and Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown are honorable mentions.
Sentinels would like a word with you. Especially after X-Men'97 Episode 5
Vilgax, Mr Burns, Dr Drakken, Rick Prime, Fat Cat, Montana Max, HIm, Negaduck, The Joker, Darkseid, Lex Luther, Mojo Jojo. Just a few of the Best Animated Villians.
you missed vilgax from Ben 10
If you are gonna show the Shredder, at least use the 2003 Shredder to make it just. Especially since he did more and better evil than any other.
"MORONS! I have morons on my payroll!" - Cobra Commander. :) "I've got MORONS on my team!" - Megatron My two favourite 80's cartoon villains. :)

Simon the Monster Hunter and Dib from Invader Zim
Chase Young should have been on the list too
While I would have a different order, this is a great list. I noticed the past year, maybe, honourable mentions are not present. I miss them. Speaking of the hobgoblin and spider carnage from Spider Man TAS.
Homer is probably more of a threat than Mr. Burns.
Vandal Savage,Lex Luthor,David Xanatos
Your number one villain is indeed excellent well chosen watchmojo mr burns is my favourite character in the entire simpsons show
Honorable mention from me: Professor Pericles from Scooby-Doo Mystery incorporated He is great and very underrated
Honorable mentions: 1. Azula, honestly think she is more of an iconic vilain then Ozai (Avatar) 2. the Trix, Lord Darkar, Valtor (Winx) 3. Vlad Plasmius, Skulker (Danny Phantom) 4. Vicky (Fairy OddParents) 5. Vilgax, Charmcaster, Zs'Skayr (Ben 10) 6. the Professor, Rassimov (Huntik) 7. Flintheart Glomgold, Magica De Spell (DuckTales 1987) 8. Fat Cat, Professor Norton Nimnul (Rescue Rangers) 9. Shego, Dr. Drakken (Kim Possible) 10. Dr. Doom (Various) 11. General Grievous (Star Wars: Clone Wars 2003) 12. Shendu (Jackie Chan Adventures) 13. Scarface (The Animals of Farthing Wood)
Two that come to my mind: Chrysalis from MLP FiM Thrawn from Star Wars Rebels
Magneto definitely should’ve been higher on this list. Placing him at #10 is insulting to the very complex character.
Pretty good, I'm just surprised you didn't add Gunmar from Trollhunters. He's arguably one of the best cartoon villains ever written

Why is Darksied, of all villains, right between Dr. Doof & Dr. Klaw? He’s way more powerful than both of them and has no redeemable qualities, at all.
I wish you had included some honorable mentions for this list, 20 is a pretty impressive number but there are still far many more iconic cartoon villains that could have been touched upon
Slade/Deathstroke is the best! 😊
Honarable mentions I would've added. 1. Omni-Man (Invincible). 2. Vilgax (Ben 10). 3. Mumm-Ra (Thundercats). 4. Van Kleis (Generator Rex). 5. General Grievious (Star Wars: The Clone Wars). 6. Starscream (Transformers: Prime). 7. Drago Bludvist (How to train your Dragon 2). 8. 2003 Shredder. 9. Scar (Lion King). 10. Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender). 11. Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender). I know he's also an anti-hero but in the early seasons he was an enemy and rival of Aang.
Honestly it would of been sick if King DDD was in this list since the man was literally out to kill kirby just because he hated his existence

Rick Prime (Rick and Morty), Vilgax (Ben 10), Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, Marvin The Martian (Looney Tunes), Vlad Masters (Danny Phantom), The Flying Dutchman (Spongebob), and Anti-Pops (Regular Show).
Can you do a Top 30 Satisfying villains death in cartoon shows
MEGATRON: “You fail me yet again Starscream!”
We need a top 50 for this subject.
Excuse me? You put Plankton over Bill Cipher, and no Mumm-Ra????
I know everyone loves Avatar but Ozai was really only in.... 3 episodes as a proper antagonist in anyway before the finale. If you aren't going with someone who wound up redeemed why not Azula at least? Also I know the 80's takes on these characters may be the most iconic but there are better Megatrons, Shredders and Cobra Commanders in the newer cartoons. Plus really IMHO if we're going with best Cartoon villains it should just be with characters who STARTED in cartoons not ones like Joker and Darkseid and the like who were in comics first.
I love how incredibly unhinged Plankton is 😂
Fault discord & starlight glimmer mlp friendship is magic
Vilgax? Evil morty
