Fanboy and Chum Chum

Fanboy and Chum Chum are the titular protagonists of the 2009 Nickelodeon series, Fanboy & Chum Chum.

Why They Suck

 * 1) The characters are basically pale rip-offs of both SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants, but with the combined worst traits of both characters and with none of their intelligence, likability and charm, so much to the point that it makes both SpongeBob and Patrick's respective Season 6-8 incarnations look like way more likable, mature, comedic, intelligent and less annoying characters. In fact, if you take away everything likable from both SpongeBob and Patrick, you get both Fanboy and Chum Chum in a nutshell.
 * 2) Their names are downright laughable.
 * 3) They're a generic comic relief duo who go on wacky and crazy adventures.
 * 4) Their voices are very loud, high-pitched and squealy.
 * 5) They provide way too much toilet and gross-out humor.
 * 6) * They have a gross habit of sticking out their underwear in front of other people.
 * 7) * As said in the intro, “We don’t care if you stare, I mean look at our underwear”
 * 8) Their character designs are laughably bad. They even look like they were stolen from other medias.
 * 9) They always annoy and pick on Kyle and Lenny every time they encounter them. What's worse is that they usually never get their comeuppances.
 * 10) They cry over things that aren’t a big deal whatsoever, like Fanboy when he forgot to give Chum Chum a present for his birthday.
 * 11) Despite the two often dressed up as superheroes, they barely ever act like actual superheroes.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They did get slightly better in season 2.
 * 2) Their friendship is charming at the times.
 * 3) Their occasional action scenes are really fun to watch.
 * 4) They have some hilarious moments, especially in Season 2.

Trivia

 * They became internet memes.
