Is this a trick question?

Where Jar Jar was simply annoying, the Ewoks actively destroyed a perfectly good film. Stinking Ewoks.

There's only one Jar-Jar. There are many more than one Ewok. Plus, if it weren't for the fallacious notion that Ewoks somehow belonged in ROTJ, Jar-Jar never would have existed.

I hate Jar-Jar; he talks like an Italian with a lisp. I can hear it now; A conversation between Jar-Jar and Yoda:
Jar-Jar: Yoosa talkin to meesa? Yoosa want a piece of meesa?
Yoda: Talking to you, I am. Rip your throat out, I will
Jar-Jar: Meesa family will kicka yoosa assa; midgit.
Yoda: Stupid, you are. Force is mighty in me. Toast, you and your family will be. Near, the end is. Your time, you must make.
Jar-Jar: Sommabody set up meesa the bombsa!

Go Yoda!! Jar-Jar Must Die!
From
50 Reasons Why "Jedi" Sucks, by Dan Vebber:
1. Ewoks
One of the miracles of the Star Wars trilogy is that Lucas's bizarre and ever-present fascination with little people didn't hurt the first two films. The Jawas were cool. The Ugnaughts were cool. Kenny Baker as Artoo was cool. But George had to push his luck. The Ewoks are not cool. Period. In circles of die-hard Star Wars fans, to say you hate the Ewoks is like saying you enjoy breathing air. The Ewoks are the primary example of many of the points on this list:
-their unapologetic cuddliness is uncharacteristic and unwelcome
-they look fake
-they engage in constant physical comedy
-their teddy bear design is wholly uninteresting
-they live in boring surroundings
-several of the film's dumbest scenes revolve around them
-they were originally supposed to have been Wookies
-and they sing that damn song at the end
But aside from what we see on-screen, the Ewoks are miserable little creatures for a completely different reason: they are the single clearest example of Lucas's willingness to compromise the integrity of his Trilogy in favor of merchandising dollars. How intensely were the Ewoks marketed? Consider this: "Ewok" is a household word, despite the fact that it's never once spoken in the film.

Historians have looked at every great empire that ever was, and usually can point to a key event that ultimately caused the downfall of said empire. Historians will look upon the Lucas empire and all will agree that the Ewoks toppled it. Ironic, because in ROTJ, that's exactly what they did to the Empire.

Very well said.

Pish, the ewoks were at least cute. JarJar is annoying and hideous.

That's true. And the Ewoks achieved something, however implausible it may have been. Whereas Jar Jar serves no purpose whatsoever and is simply bloody annoying. I might want to slap an Ewok, but I want to throw Jar Jar out of a moving vehicle. Maybe a plane.

Slap an ewok!

Pish... I'd take it home with me and feed it lentils. Altough I'd be more than happy to run over Jarjar... repeatedly.

Haha, take it home, clothe it in monkey garments and feed it lentils. While running over Jar Jar.

Justifying the existence of Ewoks is like trying to say "Well, look, the 80s
did have a point." I'm sorry, but just no.
HAVE YOU PEOPLE FORGOTTEN? The Ewok Wicket was played by none other than Warwick Davis!
WARWICK FREAKING DAVIS! Shame on you! Shame on all of you!!
