TV's Biggest Weasels

Ben seemed like a pretty formidable villain when we first met him. His ability to lie was matched only by his ability to manipulate. He was a brain, not a body. Except for when he beat people to death. Then he was both.

But as time passed, Ben's biggest lie turned out to be the one about how awesome he was. Instead of being top dog, Ben ended up more like those little jerk dogs that bark at you then run away when you look at them. In the end, Ben ended up being second banana to the fat guy. And he didn't even get to go to Heaven.

Dean Pelton may illegally read all private emails coming in and out of his school, but he does so out of a desperate loneliness we should all consider before passing judgment. He also pays people to dress like dalmatians and dance with him. On top of that, he may blackmail you into being his friend for the afternoon. Okay, pass judgment all you want. This guy's a total weasel.

On the other hand, if and when they finally cancel Community, this'll be one of the characters we miss most. Somehow he weaseled his way into our hearts.

It's hard to top Jay Leno for weasely television behavior if only because his did not take place in the world of fiction. Instead of retiring from The Tonight Show and ceding the program to Conan O'Brien as he had promised to do five years earlier, Leno refused to leave and ultimately cost Conan his dream job. Oh, such a weasel.

If only he were funny it would perhaps be defendable on some level. But no, Leno instead represents everything bad about boring, lazy comedy for grandparents. Old people love weasels. They had to eat them for dinner during the depression.

There's something about a jokester with the powers of a God that's so weasely. He can do whatever he wants to you and laugh about it, while all you can do is suck it up and try to control your anger.

Loki (one of his names, anyway) and the boys from Supernatural cross paths many times, and their adventures have made for some of the series' best, most inventive episodes. From trapping the boys in a television universe to forcing them into a Groundhog Day-esque time loop, no one had a better time on Supernatural than this notable weasel. In fact, he may be the only character to ever have a good time on that show.
