Worst Cartoon Bosses
Lately, I have been thinking of the worst cartoon bosses. Offhand I can only think of three:
- Mr. Spacely (Jetsons): Man this guy is a pain. He was always angry and yelling. Perhaps he suffered from short man syndrome, or maybe Cogswell was infuriating him. I don’t know. One thing I do know is that he was on George’s case constantly often using Orwellian attempts to spy on him. Incidentally, he reminds me of a boss I once had. Was George Jetson, the worst employee? No, in fact I would argue that George worked quite hard. Sure he liked to take a good catnap every now and then, but then again who hasn’t caught a few winks after lunch?
- Mr. Burns (Simpsons): Mr. Burns is pretty evil, but he really does put up with a lot of Homer’s flaws. I know Homer has been fired countless times, but he always seems to get his job back. Not because of merit of course, just because it works out that way.
- Mr. Slate (Flintstones): Fred Flintstone had several bosses, the most noticeable being Mr. Slate. Occasionally, Mr. Slate would reprimand Fred, but the instances were few and far between. I’m pretty sure I remember one episode when Mr. Slate fired Fred.

I s=don't watch cartoons so I will take your word for it. They do seem like bad bosses. Since I was always the boss I don't know what a bad boss is like but soem of those who worked for me may.
um, spaceley needs to trade up those sprockets for some xanax.
If you count comic strips I thought of a couple more: Mr. Dithers from Blondie and the Pointy-Haired Boss from Dilbert. Come to think of it both those strips were turned into cartoons so they count. There's also Mr. Weed from Family Guy, but he was never that much of a jerk, really. Check out this poll I made over at blubet:
