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!

There seems to be two different classes of annoying characters in this post. The ones that are annoying because they're so badly done and those who are brilliant villains done well. Makes things confusing

The title say's most hated and annoying characters. So I am guessing it is supposed to be about characters in the story, not the actors or how well they did. But, If you have a horrible character, played by a horrible actor, double points I guess!!1

Agree with the comments. There's a difference between being annoying and people loathing the character. The latter just means the actors did a good job.

Umbitch was the perfect bad-guy and one of the reasons she was such a perfect villain is because we all know someone who either is like her or would be if they had any sort of power - she's much more realistic a villain than MagicalEvilNoNoseManHorcruxThing.

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.

The last line in the movie, which actually referred to him, however, was gold. "I would like to chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye." Anthony Hopkins deserved that Oscar for that line alone.

Wait... is that Dawn Summers, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Michelle Trachtenberger? Same actress made this list twice? 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.
