This is a great show. But Snarf ruins every moment he's in. That voice is so awful and intruding. It sounds like a person doing a cartoon voice, and doesn't seem like an actual character. Takes you right out of the adventures. Horrible. I wish Snarf didn't exist. I hate Snarf.
Unfortunately many animated action series from the 1970s and 80s had annoying comic relief characters.
Snarf from ThunderCats
Orko from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
The Trobbits from Blackstar
Deputy Fuzz from Bravestarr
Bat-Mite from The New Adventures of Batman
Godzooky from Godzilla
Gremlin from The New Adventures of Flash Gordon
T-Bob from M.A.S.K.
H.E.R.B.I.E. from The Fantastic Four
Wonder Dog and Gleek from Super Friends
...and don't forget the MOST ANNOYING COMIC RELIEF OF ALL TIME:
Scrappy-Doo
I guess Snarf is the kind of character you either love or hate. I don't know anybody who's in between about him. Personally, I love Snarf, although I can't stand his nephew Snarfer, who is the Scrappy-Doo of Thundercats.

This post is such a time capsule. An almost universally hated character in an almost universally hated trilogy, some apologists now try to say both really weren't that bad.
I kind of liked Snarf since i was a kid and think he's misunderstood.

That's a good point - and let's not forget that Snarf has on more than one occasion saved the other Thundercats' bacon! aside from the obvious ("Snarf Takes Up The Challenge" and "The Crystal Queen"), there's also "Spitting Image" and "Safari Joe", not to mention "Tight Squeeze" and "Trapped"!
shareSnarf saving the day never felt natural to me. Here's hoping his role is smaller in the remake.
shareSNARF=80s Jar Jar Binks?! Well, I wouldn't go that far since Snarf didn't inspire such hatred towards the character like this.....

I loved Snarf!
No one can be as annoying as JarJar Binks though!

Rewatching random episodes of Thundercats lately, somehow Snarf's not quite as annoying as I remember (still annoying but somehow not *as* annoying). Maybe my heart's softened towards him or maybe I've come to accept him as a necessary evil who in his own weird whiny way adds to the show's retro charm. Still worked better in small doses though.
Jar Jar Binks on other hand is evil. EVIL! PURE AND SIMPLE FROM THE 8th DIMENSION!.
