While Netflix has come under fire for canceling amazing animated shows, there’s no denying
they’ve been cranking out great cartoons over the last several years. Many with great
villains. And today, we’re bringing them into our courtroom to have them answer for their crimes.
I’m Brad with WickedBinge and this is Sentencing Netflix Animated Villains for their Crimes.
First, before we get
started, while a lot of these shows focus on a main character who is, themselves,
slightly evil or villainous, we’re only tackling antagonists for this video. But
those main characters could be saved for another time. The four shows we’ll be featuring today are
BoJack Horseman, Big Mouth, Inside Job, and Dead End Paranormal Park.
So, let’s start off with perhaps the most iconic Netflix cartoon ever made, BoJack Horseman.
We’ll be starting off by talking about one of the later villains Jeremiah Whitewhale. Jeremiah
is the owner of the Whitewhale corporation and a minor villain during the end of the show, mostly
for Diane and Guy. Jeremiah is a corporate villain like Lex Luthor or Obadiah Stane,
where the crimes are mostly on a corporate level. These of course include stuff like Abuse of Power,
which he does repeatedly, and does this just because he can. Of course he runs a monopoly which
is illegal, and considering he owns dozens of companies and subsidiaries it’s pretty obvious. He
then buys Girl Croosh where Diane works and tries to silence her reporting of his companies. But,
the kicker is of course the hostile working conditions and manslaughter it leads to,
and while this is a pretty major part of the episode, thanks to the laws in the BoJack
universe he gets off scott free. However, this doesn’t mean he gets away from us,
because he definitely needs to get punished for these crimes. Jeremiah, despite his
wealth should get the full punishment, which of course is: 20 Years in prison with no parole.
CRIMES: Manslaughter, Monopolizing, Silencing Journalists
PUNISHMENT: 20 Years in Prison With No Parole.
From one big fish to another, up next on
our docket is Hank Hippopopalous (pronounce - https://youtu.be/yv-7KPgAPFA?t=97 ). Hank, better
known as Uncle Hankey is a public figure and celebrity who came under public fire especially
from Diane. During the tenure of his career he seemed to keep his nose rather clean beyond an
implied awards show rigging. Even this seems to be nothing beyond a theory based on how he said
the phrase “You can’t beat Uncle Hankey”. Hank’s main crime seems to be his repeated and continued
S.A. and sexual harassment of his many employees, associates and assistants. This
seems to be a very well substantiated case and while it’s relatively unknown, the case against
him is apparently so great one can find info within moments of googling. Hank continues to
deny this had happened, however it’s more than clear that he did, and he even ends up crushing
the story because the company that employs him also runs the newspaper who was going to run
the story. Hank desperately needs to be punished considering that nothing happens to him in the
story of the show. So, considering how intense and obvious these crimes are in the world of the show,
Hank would be punished to the full extent of California law, which is a surprisingly low
six years in prison and considering that’s all he’s done, there can’t be much more than that.
CRIMES: Sexual Harrasment and Assault PUNISHMENT: Six Years in Prison
The final villain we’ll be tackling on the BoJack docket is none other than Beatrice
Horseman. Beatrice is considered the main antagonist of BoJack Horseman and is the
mother of the titular character, who, throughout her many appearances proves
to be one of the worst people in the world. Sure, she’s not the worst criminal we’ve ever tackled,
but considering what she’s done, she definitely deserves dissection.
Beatrice was the heir to the Sugarman sugar fortune and after she gave birth to BoJack
she became bitter and annoyed by him. This leads to her continued abuse and neglect.
She forced him to do things he didn’t want to do, mentally and emotionally abused him
with her parenting style and traumatized him for his entire life. However, one of
her worst crimes happens towards the end of her life, which is when she started to continually
drug Hollyhock with weight thinners. She does this without anyone knowing
and it very nearly kills her. Beatrice’s only excuse is that she is suffering from dementia,
but even then she seems to very clearly know she is drugging SOMEONE’s coffee, even if she doesn’t
realize it’s Hollyhock. Beatrice is a very old lady by the end of the series, but that doesn’t
change that she needs to atone for her crimes. Beatrice’s punishment is 15 years in prison.
CRIMES: Abuse, Neglect, Drugging PUNISHMENT: 15 Years in Prison
No matter how you feel about it, it’s one of Netflix’s biggest shows,
the next characters on our docket come from Big Mouth.
Starting off our Big Mouth criminal docket is Kitty Beaumont Bouchet (“bo-mont boo-shay”) better
known as the Depression Kitty. She is amongst the many monsters who inhabit the Big Mouth world,
working in Human Resources for the many humans amongst the world. Now, throughout the show
she’s mostly doing her job but that doesn’t excuse her criminal actions. Due to what her job entails
she is very clearly abusing Jessi and anyone else she works with, literally laying up on top of her
to stop her from doing anything. This is mostly mental abuse as she never physically abuses her
clients. However, it does get to the point where she legitimately kidnaps Jessi and takes her to
Human Resources. This is another form of Abuse as she then falsely imprisons her in the Depression
Ward. She keeps her locked up and basically forces her to stay inside, and it isn’t until she’s
distracted by a laser and a kick in the butt that Jessi is able to escape. Kitty repeatedly tries
to coerce Jessi and others into doing things they don’t want to. Sure, this is her job, but we see
someone like Cat Stevens who is another Depression Kitty we see doesn’t act anything like this, which
implies that she does things outside the rulebook. Kitty’s punishment is 15 years in prison with no
parole as her kidnapping is an A-1 felony in the state of New York where the show takes place.
CRIMES: Kidnapping, Coercion, Abuse PUNISHMENT: 15 Years in prison with no parole
The next criminal on our list is Tito Taylor Thomas aka The Anxiety Mosquito. Tito is a major
villain starting in Season 3 of the show, and like Kitty, he works as part of the Human Resources
division. Tito’s whole deal is causing people to think about and become harmed by their anxieties,
which tend to cause a lot of mental strain. However, considering none of the intense
anxiety he puts into people is illegal, he only really has one major crime to discuss. That is of
course driving people to self-harm and/or suicide, which is of course both assisted suicide and can
also be considered manslaughter. We specifically only know of one actual case of this, but it’s a
pretty high-profile case, because it is the death of renowned artist Vincent Van Gogh. Now, it’s
mentioned that Kitty was part of this as well, but Tito seems to have been the driving factor.
Because of this, he should be put behind bars for the rest of his life without any chance at parole.
CRIMES: Assisted Suicide, Manslaughter PUNISHMENT: Life in prison, no parole
The next criminal up on our list is The Ponytail Killer. The Ponytail Killer is an overarching
villain in the Big Mouth universe, appearing in the background throughout the series, mostly in
jokes and quick scenes. We are still fully unaware of his identity, but we know enough about his
crimes to hypotheticaly punish him. The Ponytail Killer is named for his demographic of victim,
specificially being those with ponytails regardless of gender expression. As of current, we
only know of five victims of this serial killer, a blonde woman, a personal trainer named Carol,
A bus driver, a sorority girl and Karl Lagerfield. Due to this kill count we can officially label
him a serial killer, as one must kill at least three people over more than one month,
which he very obviously has done. This means he would be on the line for Serial Murder,
which is a pretty hefty crime. However, he would also be on the line for kidnapping and unlawful
inprisonment because he tied up and kidnapped a jogger he was intending to kill. If we knew
his identity we may have a much better and more accurate list of criminal actions.
But as it stands, his punishment would be an execution by the state,
likely by lethal injection due to the aforementioned serial murder.
CRIMES: Serial Murder, Kidnapping, Unlawful Imprisonment
PUNISHMENT: Execution via lethal injection
The final criminal on our Big Mouth docket is Lionel St. Swithens also known as The Shame
Wizard. Lionel appears as the main antagonist in the second season of the show, where he inflames
the inner shames of people in hopes to get them to change. This leads to a mostly non-criminal
campaign where he utilizes his dark magic to cause stress and shame amongst the population of
children at Bridgerton Middle School. Due to his magic and role he’s able to unlawfully imprison
Maury within moments. While most of the shaming he employs is perfectly legal, in the spin-of show
Human Resources he plays a major role and commits a few crimes along the way. But, the one we’ll be
talking about is Gavin, because, at the end of Human Resources, Lionel is amongst the group
trying to fix the tower damaged by the hurricane. Amongst this trip he essentially causes Gavin’s
death because he reused to do the things Gavin did and caused him to perish, which is of course
manslaughter. Lionel has allegedly done some other things, but as of right now these are the big two.
Because of his actions, 25 years in prison with no parole is the best punishment for his actions.
CRIMES: Unlawful Imprisonment, Manslaughter PUNISHMENT: 25 Years in prison, no parole
Up next is one of the most talked about Netflix shows recently, Inside Job
We’ll be starting this docket with J.R. Scheimpough. J.R. was the head and CEO
of Cognito Inc during the first season of Inside Job. Due to heading a shadow government he’s done
his fair share of crimes he can’t be punished for. J.R. has been a major part of most if not
all major conspiracies that have ever graced the internet, and is of course hiding this from all
the governments of the world. He’s committed acts of manslaughter through the things he
orders and sends his employees on. However, while this is an issue in and of itself, he’s
also done acts of brainwashing and torture by proxy as well, not to mention the mutilation of
the other potential shadow board members. However, what really takes the cake somehow is what he
actually gets in trouble for, extortion and money laundering, both of which are done without the
Shadow Board’s permission. Then after he somehow manages to escape from the Shadow Board’s prison,
he commits acts of trespassing by hidng in Cognito Inc. This is just a fraction
of the crimes he’s actually commited, as it’s heavily implied he is responsible for multiple
war crimes. Now, The Shadow Board actually went easy on him just locking him up, however,
the level of crime he was commiting means he should be executed, likely via electric chair.
CRIMES: Extortion, War Crimes, Mutilation PUNISHMENT: Execution via electric chair
Coming up next on our list is ROBOTUS. ROBOTUS, better known as Alpha-Beta was a creation of Regan
Ridley who was supposed to replace the President with a robotic puppet they could control. However,
after getting into the office he immediately abuses his power to cut America off from the rest
of the world. After Regan shows him the horrors of the internet he suddenly gets much worse. He goes
from being isolationist to full on genocidal as he attempts to nuke everyone he could,
which means he attempted either genocide or populicide depending on how you want to look
at it. He hacks and steals a helicopter, of course being grand theft auto and hijacking
so that he could continue his criminal actions. Of course this isn’t technically his fault but
he is also on the line for identity theft and impersonation because he is designed to
replace the living president. This would also be considered treason to a degree as he pushes out
the dutifully elected president to replace him. Of course he also commits a few different murders
during his time, and after being contained tries to commit a multitude of jailbreaks. Alpha-Beta
does get redeemed, but he still must be punished, of course and that would be a
complete and total shut-down and dismantling, which is of course analogous to an execution
CRIMES: Attempted Genocide, Hijacking, Treason PUNISHMENT: Execution via dismantling
Rounding out the Inside Job docket is Rand Ridley. Rand Ridley is the father of the main protagonist
Regan, where he helped found Cognito Inc. Now, due to the fact he helps run a shadow government it
means he’s skirting a lot of laws. Rand is shown to attempt world domination on multiple occasions,
even if he’s too drunk to accomplish it. He commits acts of animal abuse and manslaughter,
he stalks his ex on multiple occasions, and he even unethically experiments on his own daughter,
including erasing her memories of her one and only friend. He commits acts of Assault
on multiple occasions including during his time as the leader of Cognito Inc, and he constantly
abuses his power while in that role. In his past he is responsible for intense child abuse, both
mentally and emotionally, doing this repeatedly to his daughter when she was really young. Rand
is a serial maniac, who’s list of crimes is genuinely massive, and he’s only had two seasons
to work with it. Rand’s punishment is quite simple, public execution via lethal injection.
CRIMES: Manslaughter, Attempted World Domination, Child Abuse
PUNISHMENT: Public Execution via Lethal Injection
The final show we’ll be talking about today is
the recently and sadly cancelled Dead End Paranormal Park
Starting off this section of our list is the main antagonist, Pauline Phoenix. Pauline was
the creator and curator of Phoenix Parks, but when she died she ends up haunting this vain
park made in her image. As she went amongst the park she committed a few crimes, namely in her
goal to find a permanent new body she can use to continue her career. This leads to her committing
multiple possessions, and while this isn’t in itself a crime as it’s never happened to our
knowledge. However, one can argue this is unlawful imprisonment and/or kidnapping, and we’ll be
considering it both. She later assaults the people coming after her, and even attempts to murder
them. Sure, she thinks she’s doing the right thing, because it is what she wants, however,
we can’t in good conscience call it anything other than what it is, heavy criminal activity. Pauline
has already passed, and assuming she could stay in a body long enough to be prosecuted, she would be
sent to prison for 25 years without parole simply because it’s hard to give her anything else.
CRIMES: Kidnapping, Assault, Attempted Murder PUNISHMENT: 25 Years in prison with no parole
The final villain on our docket is The Watcher who is a future version of Pugsley. The Watcher works
alongside the angels in their attempts to keep control when they can, however, this leads to him
committing a variety of criminal actions just to show his loyalty. The Watcher works alongside a
creature known as Fingers, and seems to have been groomed into doing the things he is shown
doing throughout the show. For the majority of the show he is on the sidelines, but when he
finally does set foot in the show, he almost immediately shows his evil side. He murdered
his version of Barney just to prove his loyalty, which is a really messed up thing to think about.
He also abused his power and tried to kill the other version of Barney and his friends,
he then also does commit treason by fighting back against his government. This punishment is pretty
clear, he spends the rest of his life in prison because he may not have been in full control.
CRIMES: Murder, Abuse of Power, Treason PUNISHMENT: Life in prison, no parole
