User blog comment:CrystalNeonSummerSnow/Thoughts/Rants About Arguably the Most Popular Show on the Planet!/@comment-1874924-20120212172048/@comment-1874924-20120212210009

I found the article. It's actually 7 Badass Cartoon Villains Who Lost To Retarded Heroes, on cracked.com. For those of you who don't want to deal with the profanity-laced text (which I might add, the snarky commentary doesn't benefit from), here's the list of "badass" villains and their "retarded" nemeses:

7. Dr. Claw (Inspector Gadget)

6. No Heart (The Care Bears)

5. Gargamel (The Smurfs)

4. Duke Sigmund Igthorn (The Gummi Bears)

3. Quellor, the Supreme Oppressor of the Monsters and Villains Organization (M.A.V.O.) (Teddy Ruxpin)

2. Professor Norton Nimnul (The Rescue Rangers)

1. Tirek (My Little Pony - although somebody noted in the comments that Tirek, whom the author describes as "basically an embodiment of the devil himself" was in only one episode and died at the end)

For those of you who don't want to read the whole profanity-laced article, I'll copy the profanity-free conclusion here:

''And now we've reached rock bottom of our insultingly incapable heroes. This is a pretty cruel trick society played on the little girls of the world who saw these cartoons and played with the toys.''

''While boys were taught that evil giant transforming robots could only be defeated with other giant transforming robots, girls were taught that evil could be defeated with the power of rainbows and flamboyant song and dance. Which one better prepared their audience for the real world? If you'd like to find out, go perform a choreographed song and dance number in the middle of the highway while a semi bares down on you. In your final moments of consciousness, imagine how much more terrifying this would all be if that semi was sentient.''
