Thankfully the girls I work with read the books so they answer all my questions.

Joffrey is a POS, but like others have said, Bastard Bolton is way worse.

Worse is hard for me to comprehend. Way worse is truly impossible.

But lets take the Bastard Bolton out of the equation (and anyone else in "A Song of Fire and Ice"). Is there a character worse than Joffrey?

jeez, what a subjective question how's about:

Gregor Clegane
Viserys
Littlefinger
Lysa
Tywin
Theon
Balon Greyjoy
Ilyn Payne
Janos Slynt
Walder Frey

They're all despicable shits in their own way...and I'm sure there are 20 more if I gave it any thought...

at the end of the day, Joffrey is a ridiculous little shite but he's also just a punk privileged kid born of incest who's father didn't like him, who got imasculated in front of his betrothed and who got a taste of power well before he was ready.

I wouldn't say way worse, but I do think he's worse. Crazy shite.

I feel bad for the kid playing him, there are people out there that will just hate him in anything that he is in.

I didn't ask for any other ASoFaI characters (and I can safely conclude that pretty much all of those aren't worse than Joffrey, especially Theon), I said besides anyone from ASoFaI, as in take them out of the equation.

o.k. ... in that case Emperor Palpatine...he is worse than Joffrey. As far as I know Joffrey never destroyed entire civilized planets to watch the fireworks.

Roose Bolton's bastard is even worse IMO and the tickler is pretty sadistic as well.


But Roose Bolton's bastard is at least sadistically competent. He lets the girls go out into the woods and then hunts them down with dogs. There is a competence involved in this activity that Joffrey lacks. It isn't enough to be evil it is also about being evil and incompetent at life.
