Here Are Some Of The Most Displeasing And Annoying TV And Film Characters Ever (30 Examples)
Every movie or TV series has that one character that gets on your nerves. Remember Skyler from Breaking Bad or Geoffrey Baratheon from Game Of Thrones? There’s just something wrong with them - their silly stubbornness, unyielding character, and zero grip on reality are probably what makes them so irksome. Although in Skyler’s case, that is the impression when you watch Breaking Bad for the first time as with further viewings, you really start to get her. However, these two are definitely not the only annoying characters on your silver screens; there are plenty more! So many, in fact, that we’ve dedicated a whole list to the most annoying TV and film characters. So, ready to get bothered?
As mentioned above, things like blind stubbornness can make a movie character an inherently annoying one; however, there are plenty more factors that make them so. One that we’d like to mention is bad character writing - how could a good actor make a persona likable when all his dialogues are as smart or as witty as a potato? This might be the case with some Twilight series characters - sorry if you’re a fan! Another thing that makes a film or series character an irksome one is their silliness - although it might be fun, once it is overdone, it just gets on your nerves. This is our take on what makes a character into a very hateful and annoying entity, but if you have your own theories - be sure to mention them in the comments section!
But shouldn’t we check out our picks of the most annoying TV and film characters first? From animated series to TV shows and to some huge Hollywood productions, it seems that no one is safe from such bothersome types. However, we still have to decide who is the most annoying one, so give the character of your choice a vote!

She gets way too much of a bad press. Yeah she was a wee bit annoying but you know what? Don't blame her for the way she reacted to her awful husband. He was a liar, a thief, a murderer, a drug kingpin and ruined everyone's life. I think some of her behaviour can most definitely be justified.

i feel like it kind of defeats the point of the list to put the show/movie's literal antagonists
NicNor5560 2 years ago
Exactly! I knew maybe one of them. But aren't they supposed to be like that? For the good of the show/movie?

This list is a mess. It mixes well-written, well-played villains (like Dolores Umbridge or Joffrey Baratheon), which are not supposed to be likable, with annoying protagonists that are badly written and/or badly played. Not the same thing at all.

You as adult can't just judge any character which is meant for kids. Because kids could find them amazing and a nice behaviour pattern. Same for the teen stories characters. Maybe the author of this is a grumpy boomer xD

Buttercup from “The Princess Bride”. She’s useless and insufferable. When she’s not being a stuck-up brat to Westley she’s moping around waiting to be rescued.

Some of these are just written badly, like Bella swan, but some were created to make you hate them like Umbridge

Or, also missing: the woman in Stephen King's Misery!!! Magnificent performance by Kathy Bates (is supposed to be horrible and unlikeable though, so maybe not right for this list?).

I can't believe they had 100 characters and no one mentioned Oliver Wells from Bones who's literally the most arrogant, self absorbed and annoying person ever. I know, he's supposed to be annoying but they really managed to get that through tho

Some of these characters were meant to be controversial, and they were quite good at it, since they were well-written and well-acted. Others were annoying because of a lack of artistic talent on various sides.

Some you hated because they were villains and you were supposed to hate them. Some you hated them because they were so poorly conceived or written. Some were supposed to be villains, but the real reason you hated them was because they were so poorly conceived or written. And some were supposed to be annoying, but actually weren't.

Zach from The Strain. In the books he is okay-ish, but in the series he so f*****g annoying!

98% agree with this list. Man, there's some mega annoying people. I'm a big film fan, but I just never got the hype surrounding Zoolander or Austin Powers. Even thinking of those characters makes me feeling uncomfortable. Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler are way better in serious roles than comedy. The whole Vampire thing got boring after Sookie turned into a fairy that's where all vampire shows should have ended. As for GoT, argh, IMO, other than an overall good looking show, sets and cinematography wise, casting could have done a far better job.
