Snidely Whiplash is the cartoon archvillain to Dudley Do-Right in the tongue-in-cheek Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties segments of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show by American animation pioneer Jay Ward.
The character was voiced by Hans Conried in the original cartoon series. Snidely was later played by Alfred Molina in the live action Dudley Do-Right movie, which starred Brendan Fraser as Dudley.
Whiplash is the stereotypical villain, in the style of stock characters found in silent movies and earlier stage melodrama, wearing black clothing, cape, and a top hat, and twirling his long handlebar moustache. He has a henchman named Homer, who usually wears a tuque. In the cartoon's opening segments, Snidely is seen tying Nell Fenwick to a railroad track. He is the antithesis of Do-Right, a picture-perfect stereotype of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police do-gooder.
In one cartoon episode Whiplash and Dudley change hats; Dudley becomes a Super-villain and Whiplash becomes the Fearless RCMP who receives a medal for bringing the evil Dudley Do-Right in.
A similar villain design derived from the same archetype was later used for Hanna-Barbera villain Dick Dastardly.
