Characters can either be a hit or a miss with the watcher. The plot might be interesting, but the movie or TV show character is the one who tells the story to us. Either in a movie theater or your living room, we watch movies and series for the beloved characters in them. However, others might see these characters in a much different light than we do. In movies and TV shows, an annoying character can emerge for many reasons.

A fictional character is not always guaranteed to please every fan. It either clicks with the watcher or misses the mark by a mile. For movie characters, first impressions are everything. If you make a wild card type of character, he might come off as a bit annoying to the calmer fans. And you can't be sure that two hours will be enough to turn the character around in the minds of annoyed fans.

On the other hand, TV show characters can be annoying for multiple reasons. If a series has several seasons, a fan-favorite character might become stale — if a series takes a heavier story turn, a beloved character can become an annoying one. The presented situation is what dictates the flow of a character. A character that fits into the fictional world is a character that can capture the watching hearts.

With so many opinions floating around the world, it is hard to distinguish the honest ones from the more trolling ones. Luckily, someone on AskReddit has asked a question we all wanted to ask — Who's the character everyone loves but is actually annoying? An important question that reveals just how many annoying characters we tend to like. In the list below, upvote the characters that you think are annoying too. Also, comment below if you think the Redditor is wrong about the given opinion.

Monica Geller, Friends

Monica Geller, Friends

"She really is very annoying, especially in the second half of the series. Her relationship with Chandler is supposed to be perfect and wholesome but it's borderline abusive with how she forces him into doing things her way and constantly emotionally blackmailing him."

There are throw-away lines about how he put webcams into teddy bears he gave Penny, and he just chuckles, and the conversation carries on. There are scenes where he uses various cameras to look up people's skirts or down their tops. The dude isn't, as the show puts it when Penny gives him a dressing down, a little peculiar.' Dude should be in prison."

"What’s even worse, if we adhere to the structure of the show, this is his own retelling of himself. Have you heard the unreliable narrator theory? In Ted’s retelling to his kids, he makes Barney out to be way worse and more disgusting. It explains the last second pivot of Barney to a family man. Ted is trying to reconcile the good father his kids have met to the cartoonish sexist he’s portrayed him as. Ted wants his kids to sympathize with his pursuit of Robin and demonize the man he has consciously or subconsciously viewed as a romantic rival for most of his adult life. And even then Ted comes across as a douche."

Rachel Berry, Glee

Rachel Berry, Glee

"Everyone in the show acts like she is so amazing, but she is so self absorbed. She tricked a girl into going to a crack house so she wouldn't join the club because Rachel was scared she would be better. Plus, so many of the other characters were just as good at singing, if not better, like Mercedes and Santana, but Mr. Schue was just obsessed with her (he's also so creepy, but I don't want to get into all that), so she always got all of the solos. The performance where she wasn't allowed to participate is probably my favorite since the other kids are so good. Mercedes even calls Mr. Schue out on his blatant favoritism, such as when she deserved to be Maria in West Side Story, but he instead wanted the girls to share the roll because he couldn't bear not picking Rachel. But the show was just not self aware enough to stop favoriting her."

"I loved her character in the first season, but from Season 2 onwards, she got worse and worse. It’s like a villain origin story. Gone was the Season 1 snarky, clever girl who struggled between maturity and teenage meltdowns during coming-of-age hurdles. Enter the 'manic pixie dream girl' who strolled into every situation like she knew everything, accidentally stumbled into all of her achievements, had all the boys fall at her feet, and was relentlessly fawned over despite acting bratty and finding a reason to dislike everyone she met."

"Rory goes through the opposite of a redemption arc. She actually becomes a worse person by the end, which is something a lot of shows just don’t do."

"Gina always comes out on top, and it's so irritating. Amy occasionally calls her out, but it never goes anywhere. And, of course, Gina ends up having the last word and being right all along. I feel like Gina fell into the trap of the 'funny but awful' character and ended up getting way too much screen time and becoming obnoxious for it."
 
"Her character was completely off-kilter with the whole tone of the show. All the other characters were quirky but ultimately lovable, whereas she was just a narcissistic as*hole with no redeeming traits whatsoever. Her comments about Terry in particular were sexual harassment, and her treatment of Charles and Amy was workplace bullying. What was particularly annoying is that she never learned a damn thing. She always got away with her sh*tty behavior, and she only seemed to get even more cartoonishly awful as the show went on. It was an improvement when she left."

I hated what the movies made out of him. He was pretty cute and loyal in the books. His flaws were easily explained by his lack of freedom. After he was freed he was just amazing. Strong, friendly, selfless and kind. A very uplifting character and I cried when he died in the books. He deserved so much more. But the movie version was just really annoying.

"In the early seasons she is tolerable because for the most part she is a supporting character. When I stopped watching, she had become the main character with Homer and Bart becoming side characters. Her voice is nails on a chalkboard. She butts in when not asked. Assumes to be the moral authority in town making her worse than Ned Flanders. Turned down Burns' money when she helped him rebuild his empire. Ruined Homer on several occasions (Stonecutters episode for example). Is absolutely no fun to be around. Completely unrelatable. Thinks that she is better than everyone else. Vegetarian."

She could've gotten involved in a nonprofit (she probably would've been phenomenal with fundraising), but she had no idea how to do anything that wasn't handed to her and was unwilling to learn. I could even see her killing it as an influencer or a personal stylist, but she stayed in her toxic 'woe is me' rut because she needed to be the center at all times."

"She always jumped to the wrong conclusions, never learned from past mistakes, and acted like a spoiled princess whenever she wanted something.

Goku, Dragon Ball

"I love him, but totally understandable for those who can't tolerate him."

"Goku consistently puts people and planets in mortal danger just because he wants to fight someone strong."

But that... that is the whole point of the character. Toriyama never liked the whole "hero" thing most anime main characters had going on back in the day, so he deliberately wrote Goku without it. He is just a "normal" dude who really, really loves fighting and does his own thing. Of corse he helps people along the way, but that mostly results out of the situations he is in. The writers of the anime thought that was not good enough and added the hero thing back in, cranking it up to the max in DBZ. People like to forget that Son Goku is based on Sun Wukong after all...

Donna was my favorite. She wasn't fawning over the doctor, she grew as a person, and she called him and others out when needed. She was a friend to him.

I used to have the biggest crush on her (and Beck too) when I was younger and they were my favourite ship. I drew so many fanarts and spent so much time on them. I actually see why one could say that they were a little bit toxic BUT it was a comedy show, so every character is of course exaggerated. In all of the fanfiction I read there was always more to them, that explained how they could work without being overly toxic. One important point is also that we hardly knew anything about Beck's character. AND: Beck wasn't always the "right" one. He simply kissed Tori in episode one even though he could have done something different. We also know that he sometimes just picked random girls up and drove them to school. Like wtf? I'm not excusing Jade's jealous behavior BUT Beck wasn't an angel either and it almost seemed that he liked making her jealous. If Jade was a real person I would hate her too. Yeah, she is mean (I admit that). But as a character on tv I adore her!

"I got like a million reasons but my biggest is him telling Buffy's little sister that Spike tried to rape Buffy. I'm sitting there watching like "so did you dumbas*". At least Spike tried to atone for it unlike Xander who lied and said he couldn't remember. And he always seemed way to interested in Buffy's love life."

Yes, ( i didn't Saw the entire séries " Arcane " ) but for all i Saw, she had a traumátic event in her life, and then got endoctrinated as a child to behave a certain way, só the question i ask is: Is it really her fault ????

Ron Swanson, Parks And Recreation

"I can't stand Ron because he's a sympathetic portrayal of an obstructionist — a type of person who gets a job in government with the goal of obstructing any sort of progress and denying help their institution could lend to people who need it. The real Ron Swansons of this world are people who get off on denying funding to poor communities and communities of color while having the gall to justify it with self-serving, macho, individualist rhetoric."

"My husband and I are watching Malcolm in the Middle for the first time, neither of us watched it as kids. And it has brilliant writing and is consistently laugh-out-loud funny... But damn if Malcolm is not one of the most trash characters I've ever seen, it's brutal."

"There's an episode where he recognizes that he's an annoying know-it-all and tries to shut his mouth for a while, but it nearly kills him."

Charles, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Charles, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

"He was always in Jakes's business and so annoying. But when Jake got in his business regarding his adopted son, he got mad. He forced himself into Rosa's business when she was on the phone with her girlfriend before she came out as Bi!! When his dog died, he refused to do any work and tried to make Rosa feel bad for needing him to get his head in the game to work a case. I get you needing time to grieve when your dog dies. I'm just saying he should have just taken time off instead of coming to work and not doing anything. Finally, his lisp is so annoying. It's bad enough that he is this needy, irritating, unsure idiot, but he has a whole lisp!!!! I hate hearing him speak and I LOBE BROOKLYN 99!!!! Charles Boyle is the worst and needs to go!!!!!!"

Well if that happened then it's good writing. You kind of start out rooting for him, but the longer you watch, the less you like him/his actions/his decisions

This again? People can act like a******s but turn out to actually be decent. Sure, Bakugo is a loud, obnoxious teenager with serious anger issues, but if you can't see that there is more to his character you haven't watched the show and just follow the haters to be "different". You can become friends with your bullies, I did. It's called growing up and moving on.

"He was introduced as a weird bully with some power trip thing over Dustin. Then, he was a dick when he was on the run and the main characters tried to help him. As a result, I didn't particularly care for the character, or care that he redeemed himself at the end."
 
"He's hardly a character and was only put there to become beloved and die immediately. In my opinion, there wasn't enough time to actually love him as a character since there wasn't enough time for any authentic development."

As opposed to Luke who was happy to utterly fail his training because only he, and not the massive rebel army, can save his friends. Han was the best.

Oh shut up. There was massive bullying and harassment going on on that set and the actors were literally treated like dirt. Taking that into consideration they all did a great job. Also: if a single hyper person listening to loud music is too much for you... thats a you problem.
