One Of TV's Greatest Villains Was "The Coupon Kid"

Gus Fring, Joffrey Baratheon, Marissa Cooper, Ben Linus, Johnny Fairplay, Livia Soprano, Stringer Bell, I could go on and on, but nobody quite spun a web of destruction on television quite like "The Coupon Kid."

This episode aired all the way back in 2012 (you might remember it) and I can't help but think that this kid would have gotten more shine as a true villainous mastermind had social media been the massive viral machine it is nowadays back then 

(Here is the full episode)

This family bows down to the kid at will. He has power over them as I have never seen before.

He asks them to go dumpster diving and guess what...

They are soaking in wet local high school trash for 30 minutes looking for two (2x) more coupons. There was a little bit of pushback, but it was all for not.

At the grocery store, the mom asks for apples and the kid looks at her like, "are you fucking serious, lady?" She then has to watch him crunch numbers to find out if a few Granny Smith apples will mess up the purchase of his 40 boxes of Ritz Bitz or 200 razors.

Yup, 200 razors! How much do 200 razors cost?

Oh, just a casual -$290. Yes, NEGATIVE two hundred and ninety dollars.

After it was all said and done, the store manager ringing up the bill of nearly $1,000 informed the kid that he only owed the store roughly $5.

Why does he look so happy? Well, because sometimes local stores have to pay The Coupon Kid for his shopping trip...

The only person who dares cross The Coupon Kid is his dad, who took a jab at his basketball skills...

Jokes on dad, because The Coupon Kid isn't going to give him shit from the stockpile at home.*

* - stockpile includes 36 2-liter bottles of SunDrop soda, over 70 bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's, eight cans of tennis balls, six jugs of Ragu and seven boxes of Fruit By the Foot

Many complex villains meet their ends in television shows, but I would like to think that The Coupon Kid is still off in the MidWest clipping coupons, sitting in his "coupon chair," requesting permission from his mom to beat up his sister and, of course, swimming through dumpsters.

No villain in television history has cutdown his enemies with as much ease as The Coupon Kid.
