27 Celebrities Who Got Revenge On a Dish Served Cold

No matter how negative it sounds, spite is a great motivator. It can be the spark lit under your butt or the inspiration to prove the other party wrong. In doing so, it can sometimes achieve things far greater than just a thumb to the eye to the person or persons that wronged you.

Anger, spite, and revenge have produced celebrated best-selling albums. Sometimes revenge comes in the form of a decades-long career as a prolific science-fiction writer. Then again, there are times when revenge is just naming a movie character after a person who snubbed you and killing that character on the big screen.

Sweet, sweet cold revenge has helped celebrities, actors, and artists reach new heights in their profession. Or just gave them a nice comeback due to their higher profile. Here are a few stories of when celebrities got their just desserts over the people who have wronged them.

The Buffy episode Hush had almost no dialogue. How do S get my JOSS WHEDON LEFT IT OUT TO SPITE HIS CRITICS. Whedon's detractors felt that dialogue was his only redeeming skill, so Whedon decided to prove them wrong. Hush is almost completely silent from beginning to end, which Whedon accomplished by having demons take away people's voices. The episode wound up earning an Emmy and a huge cult following.

Looney Tunes has a dazzling array of characters. THE BEST ONES WERE INVENTED TO SPITE ONE GUY. Eddie Selzer was a Warner Bros. producer who reportedly liked barging into the animators' room, shouting random orders, and leaving. The animators hated him so much they invariably did the opposite of what he said. For example: No Sylvester and Tweety combos. No skunk characters. No Tasmanian Devil. And absolutely no bullfighting or camels. CRACKED.COM http://articles chicagotribune com/1989-11-07/features/ 8901280895_1_first-animator-cartoons-chuck-jones — Source: 15 Things Created As Revenge

Siskel and Ebert weren't fans of Roland Emmerich. SO EMMERICH PARODIED THEM IN GODZILLA. Не wasn't subtle about it, either. In the 1998 movie, Mayor Ebert is an inept idiot who makes every wrong decision possible, while his adviser, Gene, is an equally incompetent sycophant. In his review of the film, the real Roger Ebert expressed his disappointment. Not in the portrayal, but in the fact that his onscreen counterpart didn't get squished like a bug by Godzilla.

Nick Fury is an iconic and enduring Marvel character. НЕ WAS CREATED (AND NAMED) TO SPITE CRITICS. Nick Fury is the leader of The Avengers, which is an objectively badass job. But Fury was originally launched as Sgt. Fury And His Howling Commandos. Не was created by Marvel heavyweights Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to prove they could sell a comic with the dumbest name they could think of.

A producer insisted on the cheesy ending of Nightmare on Elm Street. SO THE DIRECTOR PUT HIM IN FULL BONDAGE GEAR.

When David Letterman asked Brittany Murphy for thoughts about her ex-boyfriend Ashton Kutcher and his relationship with Demi Moore, she outed him for his, ahem, shortcomings: suppose the crux of their relationship basically means, you know, to him that age doesn't matter, and to her that size doesn't matter?

In '94, Fox asked The Simpsons to dump Itchy and Scratchy. SO THEY DEVOTED AN ENTIRE EPISODE TO THE PAIR. The writers of one of the most popular shows in television history didn't really appreciate the implication that they didn't know what they were doing, so they responded with the season six episode Itchy & Scratchy Land. It's a Westworldesque episode that ranks as one of the best and most popular in the series.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is their best album. FLEETWOOD-MAC RUMOURS AND IT'S PACKED WITH SPITE-FILLED SONG LYRICS. At the time the band was recording the album, absolutely everyone was banging everyone except the ones they were supposed to. So the album is a drug-fueled explosion of grievances, most notably in the songs Go Your Own Way (read: fuck off) and Dreams (think about what you had and what you lost). And the targets of the rage songs had to gamely sing backup vocals. GRACKED.COM Q Magazine, June 2009 Issue 2 — Source: 15 Things Created As Revenge

Sinatra! swings FRANK SINATRA BILLY MAY and For orchestra SO НЕ RELEASED HIS OWN RECORDS OPPOSITE CAPITOL'S. In the early '60s, Frank Sinatra was a very big deal. And he figured he knew enough about the music business to merit his own micro-label under Capitol.

Judd Apatow was pissed when Freaks And Geeks was canceled. SO НЕ MADE ITS CAST INTO SUPERSTARS.
