9 Eric Forman (That ’70s Show)

While lovers game of Thrones I might not call Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) a ‘fan favorite’, he’s still one of the most popular characters on the show. Frankly, it’s definitely on everyone’s books when it comes to villains.
If one son on this list was giving his parents trouble, it’s Joffrey, and it comes in the form of power, sadism, and murder. It’s a handful, to say the least.
6 Luke Dunphy (Modern Family)
Modern Family it’s full of quite lovable and quirky characters, and Luke (Nolan Gould) is no exception. He is known for shooting his sisters with toy guns and thinking that their father was a gold digger.

4 Louis Stevens (including Stevens)
It’s only fair that a Disney show gets recognition, and there’s no better mischievous character than Louis (Shia LaBeouf). He is selfish and lazy, but he also has the ability to create problems. He likes to make jokes and he hates doing normal things. He is that annoying brother and son who is always disgusting and obnoxious and fans will never forget this character from Even Stevens.
3 Stewie Griffin (Family Guy)

two Will (the Prince of Bel-Air)

Will does what Will wants, and it doesn’t matter if he’s breaking the rules or doing poorly at school or hanging out with his friends when he’s not supposed to. His mischief is basically the premise of The prince of Bel Air.
1 Bart Simpson (The Simpsons)
There is no mischievous and hilarious son more iconic than Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright) from The Simpsons. His entire existence is basically to antagonize his father, whom he always so politely calls “Homer”.
He’s always causing trouble at school and at home, and there’s a reason the intro always has a scene of him writing lines on a blackboard. He’s always up to something, and every mischievous child should look up to Bart.
