He is a ruthless tyrant who loves to torture and kill innocent people, having been compared to the Mad King Aerys Targaryen on more than one occasion.

Was King Joffrey a sadist?
Joffrey is an amoral sadist who disguises his cruelty with a thin veneer of charm.

Is Joffrey worst in the books?
Joffrey Baratheon honestly isn’t as big of a deal in the books as he is in the HBO show. Fans who’ve only read the books might be surprised at the vitriol thrown at Joffrey. Many see him as cruel as many other villains in the series but no worse than, say, a general Dothraki soldier.
