16. This little dog has an ego bigger than his uncle as he believes he
can solve any crime and fight any monster single handedly. You
will rarely find a cartoon character so vehemently described as
Scrappy Doo, but hate him if you must, this pup did keep the
much beloved Scooby Doo on the air. Perhaps he got his ego
from knowing that Shaggy and Scooby Doo’s jobs depended on
him being the puppy that everyone loved to hate

17.  Duffy Duck is perhaps the original egomaniac of cartoons. He
always places himself first and would sell out his best friend if
meant getting rich or saving his own skin. His arrogance and
greed often get him into trouble, which in the end make him
worse off than whoever he betrayed and yet this stubborn
duck continues to believe that he is better than everyone else.
It is no wonder then that nearly every episode found some
way of punishing Daffy and he still never got the hint.

18. This twenty something mash up of James Dean and Elvis
Presley has an ego that often gets him into large amounts
of trouble. Despite the fact that he has never had a
successful relationship, lives with his mother and spends
most of his time being outsmarted by a little girl, he still
manages to think highly of himself. This can actually be
considered quite the accomplishment, especially his die
hard belief that every woman that beats him up “wants
him.”

19. The supreme leader of the terrorist organization Cobra.
Like most evil villains he has an ego, but his ego trumps
most others that you will find. He would often lead
assaults himself, and then be the first to retreat if things
ever went badly. He would also work his troops almost to
the point of mutiny and most of his plans failed because
of his own arrogance. His life revolved around a desire for
power and he would allow nothing but himself to get in
the way of his ambition.

20. This power hungry businessman loves himself
almost as much as the rest of the world seems to.
Lex managed to go to prison and become a
supervillain while still having the support and love
of the public. It’s hard not to be an egomaniac
when you can do everything wrong and people still
cannot help but love you.

21. Stewie has become one of the most infamous cartoon
characters on television. He is a genius infant who constantly
builds devices bent on world domination, or to kill Lois. He also
runs a number of get rich quick schemes that always seem to
work out and he refuses to help anyone but himself, not even
Brian who is the closest thing he has to a friend. He has a
habit of berating everyone around him in a superior tone and
honestly believes that he was born in a family of no talent
imbeciles.

22. This guy never knew when to quit, unless of course there
was something better to do. This lowly widower private eye
made a very poor living and does little to support his
children or do anything meaningful with his life. His end goal
is to simply make enough money to ensure that they don’t
turn off his beloved cable. His assistant Comfed, does most
of the work and allows Duckman to be a selfish, lazy oaf
while still having money to at least attempt to care for his
children

23. Brainy Smurf was the most stubborn, arrogant and
egotistical of all the smurfs. He was always lording his
intelligence over the other smurfs, even though when
push came to shove the other smurfs had more common
sense than Brainy could ever dream of. The only person
that could even begin to convince Brainy that he was
wrong about something was Papa Smurf. Brainy never
learned though, and many episodes focused on trying to
get Brainy out of trouble after he had tried to prove that
he truly was better than all of the other smurfs.

24. There is little doubt that Bender finds himself to be superior
to all his human and alien friends. It’s also hard not to
agree when he’s basically indestructible, serves a multitude
of uses and lives on beer. Bender will sell out his closest
friend for some quick cash, though he might regret it later,
he’ll still choose the cash every time. He also takes
pleasure in the misfortune of others and believes that
humans will always be inferior to robots

25. This common lab mouse believes that he has the ability to
take over the world. He puts all of his faith in his
supposed intelligence, though he will either overestimate
the abilities of his mindless assistant Pinky or the success
of the plan itself. Brain truly believes that he is the only
creature with the mental capacity necessary to rule the
world. Though in some episodes he does express his wish
to make the world a better place through his power, his
ego and unemotional nature makes that goal seem
unlikely.
