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!

They picked a horrible actress to play her. Every single movie I have seen with Kristen Stewart she has acted exactly the same just different words came out of her mouth. I may be in the minority but I have no idea how she ever became a famous actress.

Maybe you could watch her other movies where she acts differently. If she was that bad she would not be getting major roles.

IN the book the worst character was actually Lauren. She was like the Regina George of Twilight. Also wasn't a fan of Jessica, the speech at thee wedding was so bad. She just came off as a jealous nitwit.

Same! People love to hate on Twilight because it was specifically written for women, and especially for teenage girls, and our culture loves to hate on teenage girls. The root of it all is honestly unexamined cultural misogyny. Anyway, I loved the Twilight books!! I'm sad to see this at the top.

I think they cast her really well, the character is not strong at all, it seems the only emotion she has is to just be a passive complainer. And the actress nailed it.

Kristen Stewart is wonderfully gay these days and I can appreciate what she's doing in terms of visibility for LGBT actors. I even liked her in that role where she played Princess Diana. But oof, she was so bad in this. If her dad weren't a producer with an "in" for her career, I doubt she would have ever been cast. Hollywood is so rife with nepotism...which I guess makes it just like any other well-paying industry 🙄

I was so bored reading the books that I tried jumping ahead 10 pages just to see if the plot even moved. The best part of the movie was when the vampire started beating the c**p out of her, I actually wanted to yell "BOOO!" when Edward saved her. I still can't believe my dad actually loved the movie so much he would watch the whole series from start to finish once a month.

I thought she did a great job in the movies. Yes, there are times where she makes a face or reaction and I laugh because it isn't perfect acting, but I enjoy the movies because I don't take them too seriously.

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 never saw Gossip Girl, but the reason she was hated on Buffy wasn't anything to do with the actress, simply a bad concept for her character. The actress handled a tough assignment well.
