talking of anime, for Dragon Ball Frieza will always be the worst CM.. I personally feel the gunman from the Buu saga should count as well but I don't think he's accepted on TV Tropes - Buu himself can't count, not even Super / Kid Buu (for Super Buu he cared about Hercule, for Kid Buu he was a Doomsday Monster.. I'm pretty sure Evil Buu didn't count either because he really didn't do much on-screen).

I think Frieza stands out because for most people he was the first real exposure we had to a cartoon CM - he wasn't the standard cackling bad guy we knew from our usual cartoons, Dragon Ball was to many the first real step into anime and Frieza exposed us to how brutal anime villains are compared to our Western ones (though we're catching up these days with some of our newer cartoons).
