Caillou

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

Why He Sucks

 * 1) His voice is very annoying, especially when he sings the lazy theme song.
 * 2) * On that note, Caillou's crying will get on your last nerve FAST.
 * 3) He is selfish and often does not like to share.
 * 4) 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).
 * 5) He actually made a lot of people not want to ever have children. That is an extraordinary accomplishment, and not in a good way.
 * 6) Even Netflix is willing to block the show for people because of Caillou himself.
 * 7) He is infamous for his constant whining and pointless temper tantrums. Most infamously, he has 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.
 * 8) * These temper tantrums got so out of hand that many parents complained about their children's behavior changing after they watched Caillou.
 * 9) Some even consider him part of the reason why Millennials (And some Gen Z-ers) today act so entitled and prone to temper tantrums.
 * 10) His baldness causes viewers to believe that he is suffering from leukemia and his lack of hair is from the chemotherapy, and the reason why his parents rarely punish him is because they feel sorry for him.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He's nowhere near as bad here as he is in Caillou Gets Grounded. In fact, he is so bad in Caillou Gets Grounded that he could give his original counterpart a run for his money.
 * 2) When he is not being bad, he is kind of cute sometimes.
 * 3) He sometimes does teach decent life lessons about social skills and exploring the world.
 * 4) His attitude eventually improved in the later seasons, but not by much.
 * 5) He didn't cry at all in season 5.
 * 6) He has a huge imagination.
 * 7) He created many memes such as "oh yes daddy".

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.
