View Full Version : TV characters you hate. (and don't just say Joffrey)

Not necessarily because they're poorly written (the best villains require the best writing, after all) but because you've gotten so connected and absorbed in a TV show that you react strongly to characters.

Usually because they go against your protagonist/favourites (if you're anything like me :p)

And don't just go for tv characters from tv shows you hate anyway... pick the ones that rile you in amongst all your TV viewing pleasure.

Off the top of my head...

- Grace, from Nurse Jackie. The antichrist of children :bored: a passive aggressive, rebellious little ****. I get that she's following her mother's bad example (most recent series sees her try drugs) but she just has a very evil thing going on with her eyes.
- Pete Campbell, from Mad Men. SNIVELLING LITTLE ****. Although he's got an interesting storyline going on at the moment.
- Steve, from American Dad. Worst voice in the world.

tempted to include Walter White too but... too much of a badass.

Walder Frey (Game of Thrones), Roose Bolton (Game of Thrones), Joffrey Baratheon (Game of Thrones), Kate Austen (Lost), Marlo Stanfield (The Wire).

Skyler White of Breaking Bad - I only watched the first 3 seasons then got a bit bored with the show but all this bitch did was moan...

Lori Grimes of The Walking Dead - same as above, plus shags a psycho [Shane] and is a **** mum

Nathan Petrelli of Heroes - would never ****ing stay dead, his scenes were all dull and even his power was just flying [flying would be cool but this show had all sorts of creative powers going on]

Joffrey Baratheon of Game of Thrones - spoilt little **** who ****s his pants when things get serious, and what he made Ros do to that other ***** was awful

Susan Wright of Broadchurch - Pauline Quirke is a good actress but her character in this just made me feel nauseous

* Chris - Family Guy. Honestly, just pointless.

* Nathan Petrelli Same reasons as Jords gave.

* Miranda - Sex & The City. Just did my tits in and was just a bitch.

Pete Campbell is awesome!!!

Pheobe from Friends - tries too hard to be random and just comes off as a self centered unfunny bitch

Lily from How I Met Your Mother - Allll she does is complain

Skyler from Breaking Bad - Same reason as Jords

Lincoln from Prison Break - booooring

There's not a lot of characters I hate because I'm meant to, I usually just hate badly written characters.

Marsh.
17-06-2013, 02:37 PM
Oh yes, Ted from How I Met Your Mother.

I'm not really a fan of this show at the best of times but this character is insufferable and played by a terrible actor. I just want to smack him whenever he's onscreen and whining.

Alyson Hannigan's whiny nasal voice comes in second, one of the reasons I could never get into Buffy when everyone else seemed to love it was the awful neurotic whiny voices the females had.

Billy from Shameless is the worst character of all time. Fortunately most people gave up on the show before he left his gigantic **** stain all over it.

Shaun

*is a Skylar White fan*

her husband's a drug-dealing, lying, murdering, child-poisoning gangster. Don't you think she has a little entitlement to be a bit pissed off? (even if she's only aware of the former two, and the third is implied). She's also a HUGE badass when it comes down to protecting the family. The scene where she tried to drown herself in the pool really proved how much of a strain this is on her. I don't think she's a bitch at all.

Ramsay

Yeah she has every right to be pissed off..i just dont like her at all lol

April Kepner on Grey's Anatomy drives me insane, I can't stand her. Detested Rose and Hahn as well and I'm not the biggest Owen Hunt fan.

Christopher Hayden and Dean Forester on Gilmore Girls, mainly because they get with the characters I don't want them to but they're generally just annoying.

Home and Away has tons as well but I'd be forever listing all those.

Joffery, Ygritte(I don't know, I just hate her), Walder Frey (Game Of Thrones)

Andy Bernard from The Office (the US version) - I swear to God he does not have a single redeemable characteristic. All he does is act annoying in every single episode, and never once have I managed to think "He's not so bad right now." whilst he's on screen. I just cannot stand him. He's the worst addition to the show, and when I found out he's a main character from season 2 until the final season, I wasn't happy at all.

Tom Haverford from Parks And Recreation - He's dramatically improved in season 5 but before that he annoyed me to no end, mainly for the same reasons outlined above. He just seemed to exist to ruin scenes with lines that were mostly unfunny.

Cavil/Number 1 from Battlestar Galactica - Slimy little **** who I couldn't stand. His premise was good and the character on the whole was quite brilliant in retrospect, but his writing and plot lines were so good that I managed to build up a veherment hatred for him as time went on.

Nathan Petrelli of Heroes - would never ****ing stay dead, his scenes were all dull and even his power was just flying [flying would be cool but this show had all sorts of creative powers going on]

Could not agree more. :worship: And even when he did die they brought him back again with that crazy shapeshifting storyline involving Syler I just oh God he was so irritating.

Jenn-CityIVLyfe
18-06-2013, 05:52 AM
I... I can't get behind this whatsoever. Explain.

I won't deny that he was an amazing character, because he was very well-written and obviously one of Lost's most prominent characters. The series wouldn't have been the same without him. I appreciate what he contributed to it.

If I remember correctly, I liked Locke up until Boone's death. Boone had been my favorite up until that point and I was looking for someone to project my anger onto, and Locke, being present at the incident, fit the bill. So it's more of just a personal grudge rather than anything against the character himself

Characters I loathe with a passion, but have so much respect for the actors and without these characters the shows wouldn't be half as good as they are.

Clay - Sons of Anarchy
Joffery - Game of Thrones
Gus - Breaking Bad
Hank - Breaking Bad
Logan - 24
Michael - Lost
Kavanagh - The Shield
Merle - The Walking Dead
Number Six - Battlestar Galactica
Doakes - Dexter
Freak - Prisoner Cell Block H
Neville - Revolution


Characters I loathed because I didn't find them convincing enough or they had some dumb stories in my mind.

Lori - The Walking Dead
Jeremy - The Vampire Diaries
Alcide - True Blood
Bill - True Blood
Amy & Rory - Doctor Who

Yea, it is pretty bad, which is unfortunate since the show's premise is great. I will give season 2 a chance to see if they fixed some of the problems, but if they didn't I don't think I'll stick around for long.

Yes I can relate to that. It was during the beginning of the season when he attacked Glenn & Maggie where he was a true badass, but towards the end I had some sympathy for the character.

I had hoped they would keep him alive, if anything to cause more mayhem in Rick's group.

It would have been amazing to have both Daryl & Merle by Rick's side.

Definitely.


I think the confusion a while back where I listed the most hateful characters wasn't a thumbs down to those characters or actors, in fact most of them are my favourite characters, they are (imo) the driving force in their own shows.

I was trying to answer the OP question and not just slamming the characters.
