Here are a few cool programs useful for sprite ripping. Some day I'll add more.

Animget - Click here to download
An awesome program for plain old ripping. Written by Michael Menne.
Takes screenshots at an absurd rate whenever the screen changes.
   
Tile Molester - Click here to download

Great tile viewer despite its disturbing name. Needs Java Runtime Environment. Here's a nice tutorial written by Ragey.
   
Tile Molester Alternate - Click here to download

Another version, supports GBA palettes and is extendable. Not quite as stable as the original though.

   
GGD - Click here to download

Weird tile viewer that can do just about anything if you figure it out.
You should really read Ragey's page, he knows all about it. And I really don't.
   
Alferd Spritesheet Unpacker - Click here to download

This amazing program by Mitchell William Cooper (ForkandBeard.co.uk) will take those terribly inconvenient sprite sheets we have so many thousands of, and allow you to split each sprite into its own image file. See it in action at YouTube. Incredibly useful for game developers and animators. Check it out!
