13 of the Doofiest, Simpiest Villain Sidekicks of All-Time

A dash of absurdity in the world of villainy. For the kids.

Behind every great villain, there’s a loyal sidekick who, for some reason, supports every one of their dastardly plans. They themselves don’t seem like the worst people/animals/people-animal hybrids on the planet, but they might be the most easily influenced “followers” ever. If they happened to meet a hero before a villain, would they be great heroic sidekicks? Probably. But since a villain got there first, they’ll add a touch of zaniness to their schemes, and usually chime in with a classic, “Yeah, you tell ’em, boss!” 

That’s what a good villain wants, right? We can’t think of a time where a villain looked to their sidekicks for advice. It’s never, “What do you guys think?” It’s always, “Shut up and get it done!” These dimwitted sidekicks do bring a unique flavor to the world of supervillainy, and provide comic relief to those darker narratives. For the kids, ya know? While some villains luck out with cunning, resourceful, and charismatic sidekicks, these ones got the short end of the stick with the 13 doofiest, simpiest sidekicks of all time.
