Greg Larsen is an award-winning actor, writer, director, comedian and podcaster from Melbourne, Australia. He’s best known for his work in The Grub Podcast, At Home Alone Together, Get Krack!n, and Tonightly with Tom Ballard.

Back in August of 2020, Greg went to Twitter with a bit of a wild idea—he asked his followers to name the absolute most evil people on the planet—people like genocidal dictators, serial killers, and the like.

The internet was keen to respond immediately after this tweet went live. Now, many were posting actual historical figures, like Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Kim Jong Un, but others spiced it up, suggesting more than just politicians and infamous people in history.

The list quickly grew with the likes of Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones, Immortan Joe from Mad Max, Bowser from the Mario universe, The Borg from Star Trek, and many more.

Yet others took a more comic approach and suggested defending the likes of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, Wile E. Coyote from Road Runner, and Ursula from The Little Mermaid. There was even one person who put up a picture of Vegemite iSnack 2.0 and asked to defend the marketing guy who invented it.

The thread garnered nearly 80,000 likes with over 18,000 retweets and over 6,000 quote tweets in mere days. If you want, you can check out the whole thread here.
