Top 10 TV and Movie Monster Moms

They lie, they manipulate, they switch your babies at childbirth–what makes these dishonorable dolls more despicable is that they're all moms. Forget being caring, supportive, and nice, SPOT.ph lists down 10 TV and movie mothers that make you wish you were never born. Aren't you glad your mom's not like them?


10. Esme Fajardo played by Annabelle Rama

Movie: My Monster Mom (2008)

Object of tyranny: Daughter Abby Fajardo (Ruffa Gutierrez)

Psychological trigger: After being cheated on by her lover and sending her baby daughter to the US, Esmeralda Fajardo turns into a jaded control freak with a sharp, Visayan-accented tongue.

Monstrous deeds: Aside from her incessant nagging, Esme also meddles with her kids' lives by imposing her own rules, curfews, and unreasonably strict rules for dating.

Maniacal dialogue: "Huwag ka ngang sumagot! Babatuhin kita ng brilyante ko!"


9. Viola Fields played by Jane Fonda

Movie: Monster-in-law (2005)

Object of tyranny: Daughter-in-law-to-be Charlie Cantilini (Jennifer Lopez)

Psychological trigger: When you're a powerful broadcast journalist forcefully dethroned by a much younger bimbo, it's only normal to feel a little insecure and bitter. With news that her only son is engaged to be married to a young temp, Viola gets devious and makes Charlie's walk to the aisle synonymous to hell.

Monstrous deeds: She feigns a psychotic breakdown just so she can terrorize Charlie at home, alienates Charlie in front of foreign dignitaries, invites her son's ex to the wedding rehearsal, and gives her a too-tiny-for-J.Lo's curves dress to wear at an unannounced party. And, even if she knows that Charlie is allergic to nuts, she serves her with gravy spiked with nuts.

Maniacal dialogue: After honking a horn to wake up Charlie, "Oh, I'm sorry! I thought it was air freshener!" Then she cackles like a wicked witch.

    uhmmm where's Meryl Streep in Manchurian Candidate... she was creepy in there...channeling a Hilary Clinton plus it has a ghastly implied incest with her son Raymond (Liev Schieber.. correct spelling ba?)

    i understand that it was based on the character originally played by Faye Dunaway but haven't seen it though so i'll stick with La Streep's rendition of Eleonor Printis Shaw...

    Top 10 TV and Movie Monster Moms...

    - i was just expecting a list which is by SPOT Standard - world wide

    i agree with ronny's comment

    and making a comment that this list is too kapamilya doesnt mean im a kapuso... duh!
  • ton May 04 2010 @ 11:57pm Report Abuse
    if you are against the list...then give us memorable characters from teleseryes of GMA7.. if you can give a list, i'll be a kapuso... hahaha
    PEACE!
  • igeramos May 04 2010 @ 06:31pm Report Abuse
    true, those teleseryes were created by committees. that's why whether it's kapamilya, kapuso, or kapatid they all look the same. even the ads, they cross over channels too. sometimes you see dingdong violating piolo's tv space... confusing.
  • Ronny May 04 2010 @ 05:28pm Report Abuse
    I don't know why people have to ally themselves to the "kapamilya" or "kapuso" networks, that's just dumb. Watching their news coverage is fine, but have they provided us with quality and intelligent entertainment? If you watch teleseryes, it's hard to believe that anyone intelligent is involved in creating them.
  • igeramos May 04 2010 @ 04:15pm Report Abuse
    what? si Jane Fonda kapamilya na?
  • don May 04 2010 @ 02:40pm Report Abuse
    @hello: that's because GMA 7 shows don't have memorable or strong characters.
  • hello May 04 2010 @ 02:32pm Report Abuse
    so kapamilya naman ang list na ito... eewww
  • don May 04 2010 @ 01:13pm Report Abuse
    ZOMG. Isadora rules! FOREVER
  • igeramos May 04 2010 @ 12:15pm Report Abuse
    Marlene Aguilar is a cross between Tetchie Agbayani and Caridad Sanchez. I'm not surprised if she actually appeared in SSR3.
  • Ronny May 04 2010 @ 10:50am Report Abuse
    About that "shake,rattle and roll 3" episode entitled "inay" wherein the undin appears, accdg to imdb, it stars real life monster mom marlene aguilar herself (her sole imdb credit). Does anyone remember her role in the movie? Was she the monster in prosthetics? Or is it one of those internet goofs (she's also credited in wikipedia.)

    Winner talaga si Anabel Rama sa katarayan!
