7 Pop Culture Evils You May Have Experienced Recently

penguinteen:

We’ve had evil on our mind a lot lately as we gear up for the sequel to The Young Elites coming out and we think it’s getting to us because we’re starting to see evil everywhere. Read on for our recent rankings of the darkness that surrounds all of us…

Matt Bellassai: 5% evil

source: buzzfeed

In the fabulous short video series “Whine About It,” Buzzfeed writer Matt Bellassai gets inebriated at work and complains about awful couples, things people should do in private, the worst types of friends, and why parties are terrible. He’s basically right about everything and just a smidge evil. 

Brunch: 12% evil

source: giphy

No one wants to admit it, but brunch is kind of evil. From picking a place in advance that may or may not take reservations to forming your brunch squad and picking a time (any time before noon is straight up wicked), brunch can too easily turn sour. It’s also evil for us to show you this gif on a day that isn’t Sunday.

Basically everyone on Orange is the New Black: 20% evil

What is amazing about OITNB is that everyone is kiiiiind of terrible (looking at you, Piper) and yet in this terribleness is some of the best humor on TV. Just when you think you know how much someone sucks, they’ll do something super sweet. And vice versa.

Clint and JJ from The Bachelorette: 32% evil

source: giphy

These bros were insufferable on their episodes of this season of The Bachelorette. They were weirdly obsessed with each other in the way that only guys who went to business school understand, and they tried to make “villains gotta vill” happen. It’s not going to happen.

Helena from Orphan Black: 50% evil

Helena is the ultimate monster, villain, hero, and source of comedy on a tv show where one super human plays almost every character. In the span of the show, Helena will start out giving you nightmares and withstand certain death half a dozen times, only to have you totally root for her as she gruesomely punishes her captors and slays anyone who threaten her sestras. 

Adelina from The Young elites: 74% evil

What’s so great about Adelina is that she really embraces her evil side. That’s where her power is strongest, and she owns it. 

Ramsay Bolton: 100% evil

There is no one else who should top this list. This spot is yours, evil scum.
