Most annoying character in a movie, play, radio show or comic strip

[Taverner]

I would have to say Myrth from Mork and Mindy (their son played by Jonathan Winters)

What was once a quaint 70's dumbass sitcom became intolerable.

[AWESOM-O]

1. Jar Jar Binks

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

2. I saw this thread with one reply only and I KNEW it would be that one. -nt

[Mike03]

4. First name I thought of! N/C

[Mike03]

6. As far as recent films go....

As much as I liked David Fincher's film "Zodiac", I was very put off by the superficial depiction of two of the main characters, the "alcoholic journalist" played by Robert Downey Junior in particular, and to a lesser extent the "Obsessed Reporter" who is the protagonist.

There was such potential in "Zodiac", and Fincher is one of the three or so best living directors, but there was a lack of imagination in this screenplay that led to a third act in which cliches ruled the day.

Not to say I don't have a very high regard for this film. Just, coming from Fincher, it should have been more discerning.

[Danger Mouse]

8. We have a winner!

End of discussion

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

15. Honestly the only right answer

with hundreds tied for second.

[Orrex]

23. Jar Jar Binks is the worst character in the history of science fiction

Even if everything else in the prequel films was absolutely fantastic, the trilogy would still have sucked by virtue of his presence in them.

In fact, his presence is so bad that it actually cheapens the original trilogy.

Dreadful!

[DarkTirade]

29. 2nded.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Mallard Fillmore

'Nuff said. :D

[HughBeaumont]

5. Granthony: For Better or For Worse.

Better known as "Pornstache", "That Mustached Bastard", "No-stache".



Either way, he talks like robots in a 50's movie, he's an emotional cheat, he's suuuuuuuuch a goddamned dork and he looks so ridiculously similar to her dad it's freaking CREEPY.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. Everyone in FBOFW is annoying

I thought that was the point?

[Mike Daniels]

41. What's with the flashbacks that have taken over FBOFW

I heard something that the cartoonist is having some physical problems and needed to cut back on drawing the strip.

If that's the case just go to Sunday strips only or retire and go the "classic" (hah) Peanuts route w/out the sham act of a character recalling the old days.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

46. She is retiring soon. Very serious health problems.

[HughBeaumont]

90. It's like a hybrid strip -

She's stopping the aging of the characters and retelling the FBOFW storyline using old strips combined with new. The problem with that is, she seems to be retconning all of the most boring storylines from the old days.

FBOFW doesn't have that "timeless" quality that Peanuts has.

[Danger Mouse]

24. God I hate that comic...

:puke:

[alphafemale]

82. I've enjoyed the strip over the years. And remember, she had the a gay character in the early '90s.

It was really kinda neat watching the characters grow up from babies and move out on their own.

But lately, the strip has been more depressing than anything.

[Patiod]

84. I actually like FBOFW, but HATE Anthony

That story line made me crazy - I kept thinking "if they get together, I'm going to stop reading this".

Yuck. We're straying in Family-Circus degree of annoying.

[HughBeaumont]

89. What is Lynn's obsession with "First love is your twoo wuv!"???

Gordon-Tracy.
Mike-Deanna.
Elly-John.
Lizthony.

I mean COME on. The worst is when they tried to talk him up like he's the Amazing Second Coming of All Potential Honorary Pattersaints when he SUCKED.

Why would you hook up with someone who's not only an emotional cheat (marrying someone when it's so obvious he was in love with someone else), but who literally asked Liz to be his girl after she almost got raped at a gas station?

http://www.fborfw.com/features/anotherchance/

I mean, in the immortal words of Al Bundy: "Am I the only one that can taste the BILE?"

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. The Family Circus.

Although there is a site somewhere that installs Nietzsche quotes as the captions, which is a nice bit of cognitive dissonance.

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

34. link here

http://www.losanjealous.com/nfc/

Creepy how the quotes seem to fit the drawings.... off to the bookmarks with you

[Fire Walk With Me]

49. That's it. Hilarious!

[XemaSab]

77. Good call...

http://www.losanjealous.com/nfc/perm.php?c=52&q=70

[SoxFan]

53. I take offense!

When I was young, my family was such a dead ringer for the Family Circus that it was downright disturbing. The gender and ages of the kids are almost exactly on target, and my father wore the same goofy thick eyeglasses.

[Fire Walk With Me]

73. Then try the fun...

http://www.losanjealous.com/nfc

[Beaverhausen]

9. any character Jimmy Fallon plays

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

11. Urkel

He was legit annoying to me. Not like annoying funny but annoying fuck off and die.

I agree though that Myrth was pretty bad. Mork and Mindy was my favorite sitcom as a kid.

[AWESOM-O]

12. Seven from Married With Children was also highly annoying.

Thankfully, they dumped him after a few episodes. I guess some dullard thought that adding a Bart Simpson type character would make the show better. They failed miserably.

[ironflange]

19. He just abruptly vanished

Later in the season, a milk carton was seen on the show with Seven's picture on it. Hmmmm. . .

[ironflange]

20. Bucky from "Get Fuzzy." Man, is he bad!

But that's why we love him. Rat from "Pearls Before Swine" is a similar case.

[SoxFan]

51. Bucky is The Man!

[XemaSab]

78. Bucky=Koshie

[SoxFan]

81. LOL

He looks like him! All he needs to do is put his ears back!

[rakeeb]

72. RE: Seven from Married With Children was also highly annoying.

Every young character that was brought on to a show towards the end in an attempt to breathe new life into it, from cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch to Leonardo Di Caprio on Growing Pains and even Scrappy Doo....
oh yeah, and if reality shows count, everyone that was ever on Real World and Survivor.

[Catshrink]

13. Sherman Helmsley

The most annoying man on television ever.

:puke:

[Catshrink]

14. And Barney Fife

I never could stand the guy.

[Frosty1]

16. I agree

He was an annoying little prick.
:hi:

[Hand]

17. Anne of Green Gables.

Sanctimonious little prissbag... :nuke: There. That's better.

[mitchum]

18. Comic: Cathy in "Cathy"

Movie: Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas"
Play: Hamlet in ...
what's a radio show? :)

[FloridaJudy]

22. Born after 1955 (or so) I see...

Dennis Day on the old "Jack Benny Show" would be an example of a seriously annoying character in a "radio show".

Or you might have a character you despise on "Prairie Home Companion" or "Wait, wait: don't tell me!"

[mitchum]

25. How could I forget "Guy Noir, Private Eye"?

or actually anything voiced by Kellior (sp?)
I know...I know...I like his politics, the idea of the show, etc....but there's just something about the man (and his voice) that sets my teeth on edge

[Patiod]

85. My S.O. screams whenever he acidentally comes across PHC

The Simpsons once busted on Keilor, and S.O. can quote it line-for-line -- something like:
"I........can't.........keep............up............this..........breakneck.........pace...........of ........speaking.........."

[mitchum]

91. Yes, I never knew someone could become so winded from carrying around a public radio tote bag

[mikeytherat]

36. Joe Pesci in "Lethal Weapon 2" or Joe Pesci in "Goodfellas"?

Perhaps the answer is "both," although I do believe Lethal Weapon 2 is where Master Thespian Pesci perfected his, "OK, OK, OK, OK" schtick.

mikey_the_rat

[Orrex]

21. Jonathan Winters in pretty much anything is intolerable

He was one of the chief beneficiaries of the age of "can't we all just pretend that they're funny," and his no-talent ass rode all the way to comic legend.

:puke: and double :puke:

[skygazer]

26. Any character played by Adam Sandler

[Broken_Hero]

27. Lana Lang, aka Kristen Kreuk, Smallville series...

I thought she was...barely tolerable in the first season/second season...but everything after that...I just wanted her character to die off, so I wouldn't have to hear her whining/pining/I'm in love with Clark bullshit...

[Mythsaje]

32. So it's NOT just me?

Gawd, that girl annoys me to distraction.

To think he continuously blew off Chloe for her? I don't get it.

[Broken_Hero]

48. My wife dislikes her greatly also...

Lana is so wishy washy, and irritating....bleh, I can't wait for her character to die off, but it seems the creators of the show LOVE her, and will keep her til the end....

And, they had the nerve to kill of Jonathan! Damn it....

[Chovexani]

50. No, it's not just you

Try 90% of the fandom over the age of 12.

I quit watching the show in the beginning of the fourth season when they decided to squelch The Gay between Clark and Lex and made the show into Lanaville.

[Rob H.]

60. YES! Man, I can't *stand* her

She supposedly got blown up in the finale last season; too bad they're bringing her back. x(

[Mythsaje]

65. Oh, it was an obvious trick...n/t

[pokerfan]

28. Wesley Crusher

[Inchworm]

30. repent!

:rofl:

[sarge43]

33. Joining Wes in the ST:TNG Hall of Shame

Lwaxana Troi - Mother from Hell.

[pokerfan]

35. I thought you were going bring up Worf's spawn

What's his name? Very annoying and whiny.

This is one thing Babylon 5 got right: "No cute kids or robots. Ever."

Lwaxana? I don't know. I thought her episode with David Ogden Stiers was well done. The one where his race requires him to end his life at sixty.

I found Deanna much more annoying and she was most every episode.

[sarge43]

37. Alexander and yes, he was a pain and a waste of time and film.

That episode was good and the character did improve, especially in DS9. However, the first few 'sodes, she was justification for matricide.

Robots are acceptable as long as they don't speak. Kids, very tricky to write and portray.

[pokerfan]

39. A good robot and a bad robot from TV

[sarge43]

42. My spousal unit calls them annoying garbage cans.

(Trekker nitpick alert)

However, as hammered out in The Measure of a Man Data is a sentient life form rather than a 'toaster'.

[Downtown Hound]

64. "SHUT UP WESLEY!" Hahahahahaha!

Best TNG line evah!

[XemaSab]

79. word.

n/t

[krispos42]

31. Michelle Tanner

In "Full House", played by the Olson twins.

I kept waiting for Bob Sagat to get medival on her ass for the shit she pulled!

[TreasonousBastard]

38. EVERYONE on "Seinfeld" Every one of them...

reached the dark parts of me that I prefer to remain hidden.

Every time I watch that show I have horrible urges to torture and strangle them with my own hands.

And the whining, slimy little toad George Costanza I have special treats for.

[cobalt1999]

40. Good call.

Most annoying group of characters imaginable. Never could watch that show.

[Mike Daniels]

43. I refer to "Curb your Enthusiasm" as "Costanza" since GC was LD's alter ego

Just a little George went a really long way in Seinfeld. As such, I find it interesting that a show that in effect has George as the primary character(if he were a Hollywood writer) has garnered enough audience to last as long as it has.

[mitchum]

55. That is heresy to we Larry Davidians!

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Seinfeld" are the two greatest shows in the history of television (okay, I know that's not saying much :) )
No hugs! No lessons!

[pokerfan]

61. A summary of George's life

At a tenant board meeting to decide if George or a survivor of the Andrea Doria is more deserving of a coveted apartment....


(George is telling the board his astonishing life stories. Every board member seems to be deeply moved by them)

GEORGE: I was handcuffed to the bed.. In my underwear, (Sighs) where I remained.. (Scene cuts to another story) She was attractive.. She was, also, in fact, a Nazi.. (Cuts to another story) The water.. that I had been swiming in was.. very cold. And, when I dropped the towel, there was.. significant shrinkage.. (Scene cuts to, yet, another story) Her parents were looking at me.. So, there I was, with a marble rye hanging from the end of a fishing pole.. (Scene cuts to his closing statements) In closing, these stories have not been embellished, because - they need no embellishment. They are simply, horrifyingly, the story of my life as a short, stocky, slow witted bald man. (Gets up) Thank you. (Every member of the board shows some sign that George's story is most deserving of the apartment. Ricardi is crying. George turns to leave, then remembers one more thing..) Oh, also.. my fiance died from licking toxic envelopes that I picked out. (Sobs and loud crying erupts from the board members) Thanks again. (Leaves. Eldridge looks defeated.)

[mitchum]

67. There ya go...That's one of the Gospels!

[mitchum]

54. But THAT was the genius of the show...

"Every one of them...
reached the dark parts of me that I prefer to remain hidden"
George is the petty, vain, grasping, envious, fearful part of everyman. And everyman isn't pretty :)

[TreasonousBastard]

56. The genius was in ripping off "Taxi" and..

taking all the funny stuff out and still having a hit show.

[mitchum]

58. "Taxi" was indeed a great ensemble comedy, but it was no "Seinfeld"

The characters on "Taxi" were likeable. Sympathetic. A sitcom convention.
The "Seinfeld" characters were not likeable...yet people watched it avidly. Now, that takes genius!

[njdemocrat106]

74. I once had a coworker accuse me of having a "Costanza-esque" personality

Just in case it's true, and for our own safety, we probably should keep our distance in real life! (I don't particularly want to find out what "special treats" might entail if said accusation is true, even though I must digress with that co-worker.) :)

[Mike Daniels]

44. Ross and Rachel from Friends

Rachel - totally unprofessional at her job, whiny and self-involved

Ross - total obsessive / border-line stalker with inability to move on with life

Can someone explain to me why the viewers had such a hard-on for these two to get together given that they were totally incompatible on the occasions when they were together?

[ChickMagic]

45. Good call!

My hubby wanted to know why I watched it if I hated the characters
so much. I told him I kept hoping for the episode when a truck
bomb was parked outside their building.

[Westegg]

59. Or just Ross, even.

[Mike Daniels]

83. Ross solo wasn't too bad overall (monkey-ownership period not withstanding)

Rachel was always annoying.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

47. The young Jennifer from "Family Ties"

During the first few years she was just an obnoxious, smart-alec little brat. I presume they included her because she was supposed to be cute but she annoyed the heck out of me

Thankfully she grew up relatively quickly through the years of the show. I actually liked her character toward the end when she was a teenager

[SoxFan]

52. Paolo and Nikki

From Lost.
"Who the hell are you?"

[Patiod]

86. You're not alone - I think that's why they killed them off

I think I read somewhere that they had a longer story arc, but feedback was really awful so they were killed quickly

[terrya]

57. Every single character in "Family Circus"

The most annoying cast of characters in a comic strip. Ever.

[alphafemale]

63. Have you seen "Rose is a Rose?"

There's only so much sappy, sickly sweetness that can be tolerated. ACK!

[mitchum]

66. Thats as bad as "Rhymes With Orange" or as I call it "Rhymes With Suck"

[SoxFan]

76. Rose Gumbo is a hottie!

:P

[Cabcere]

62. Ophelia from "Hamlet"

I love the play, but that bimbo drives me nuts. :banghead:

[Zookeeper]

68. The comic strip, "Sally Forth."

The whole damn strip is annoying.

[alphafemale]

70. Is that one of those where every sentence ends in an exclamation point!

For no apparent reason!

[Zookeeper]

71. Yes! It! Is!

As if exclamation points will make up for the fact that it's not funny. ("!!!!!")

[Tafiti]

69. Johnny Drama from Entourage.

Fucking douchebag. :thumbsdown:

[Patiod]

87. Oh yuck

He reminds me of every dumb unattractive Irish guy my father tried to fix me up with. And every unsuccessful actor my S.O. hangs out with. Bad combination.

To this day I'm just not attracted to Irish guys (and I'm Irish). I'm not saying there aren't a lot of good looking Celts out there (Peirce Brosnan is #1 on my Escape Clause list) but the dorky ones are just so appallingly awful.

[Mike Daniels]

75. Lisa Simpson

I know that the writers use her as the social conscience of Springfield but she's so insufferable about her beliefs and judgemental towards others that she comes off as boorish vs. enlightened.

[XemaSab]

80. That's the point of the character

It's satire. :P

[Auggie]

88. Bob Costas
