Caillou

Caillou is a 4-year old boy and the titular main protagonist of the Canadian animated TV series Caillou.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) To start off the list, he is infamous for his constant whining and pointless temper tantrums. Most infamously, he had a meltdown after finding out that he was going to the circus tomorrow when he thought it was today. Not next week, not next year, but tomorrow . This obviously proves he cannot handle not going to the circus.
 * 2) * These temper tantrums got so out of hand that many parents complained about their children's behavior changing after they watched Caillou.
 * 3) 'His voice is very annoying, especially when he whines.
 * 4) * On that note, his crying will get on your last nerves fast.
 * 5) He is selfish and often does not like to share.
 * 6) He is cruel and mean to his little sister Rosie, even going as far as pinching her in the face in "Big Brother Caillou" (even worse, he bit her ear in the book version of the episode).
 * 7) He actually made a lot of adults not want to ever have children. That is an extraordinary accomplishment, and not in a good way.
 * 8) The grey shirt variant in Seasons 1 and 2 is more annoying than his yellow shirt variant because he was super whiny and annoying.
 * 9) *Speaking of the grey shirt variant, as mentioned before, in Caillou Joins The Circus, he had a massive temper tantrum over not going to the circus. He should have known it was not next week, not next year, but tomorrow.
 * 10) His 2nd most infamous temper tantrum was in the episode Caillou's Teddy Shirt, in that clip of Rosie wearing his teddy shirt, he has to have a stupid meltdown all because of that. He even shouted for Doris really loudly that the whole house could hear him. And when Doris told him that it was too small for him, he just shouted back at her by saying ”NO! IT'S NOT TOO SMALL FOR ME!!!!!” when it actually was too small for him.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) When he is not being bad, he is kind of cute sometimes.
 * 2) He sometimes does teach decent life lessons about social skills and exploring the world.
 * 3) He actually has some character development. He matured himself since Season 4-5, despite having some moments of not sharing, and didn't cry at all in Season 5 and onward.
 * 4) He cried only once in and only cried in one episode of season 4 called "Caillou the Patient", he fell on the knees and scraped them, which is kind of a reason of a young kid like him to cry.
 * 5) He has a huge imagination.
 * 6) There are some episodes where he is nice and helps out.

Trivia
When the book series started in 1987, Caillou was a baby, but when it was time for him to age up, the illustrator found that giving Caillou hair would've made him unrecognizable, thus explaining the character's baldness.
