I'm sure it's a predictable answer in this topic, but Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones. Total villain, absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Some would say it's all from how he was raised so he's not entirely to blame, but the depths of hate in his personality went way beyond that of any other Lannister.
...which is why it was so surprising to learn that Jack Gleeson (the actor) is widely regarded as one of the nicest, most humble, down-to-earth people you'd likely ever meet. :)

I hated him in the books but Jack Gleeson was so good at being a villian I hated him [Joffrey] 20x more in the show than the books
I hated him so much I started to love him.
I don't think he counts as a villain. He's a spoiled, inbred, mentally retarded (medically, not colloquially) child.
