Most unlikeable tv characters

[Jackalope89]

Well, every villain in every well-written TV show ever. Both Joffrey and Ramsey from Game of Thrones come right to mind.

For unlikeable characters who aren't supposed to be villains...these are all characters who are unlikeable but still fun to watch, which is a very difficult tightrope for an actor to walk. So kudos to all these actors.

George Costanza from Seinfeld (Jason Alexander.)
Gob Bluth on Arrested Development (Will Arnett)
Edmund Blackadder from Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson)
Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother (Neil Patrick Harris)
Sawyer from Lost (Josh Holloway)
Frank Burns from M*A*S*H (Larry Linville)
Bill McNeal from Newsradio (Phil Hartman)
Herb Tarlek from WKRP in Cincinnati (Frank Bonner)
Dan Fielding from Night Court (John Larroquette)
Louie de Palma from Taxi (Danny DeVito)
Dr. Gregory House on House (Hugh Laurie)

Aw. I like (to root against) Frank Burns.

Frank Burns was a bad doctor that thought he was good and ignored everyone elses medical views because of it.

Winchester was a great doctor but he thought because he was the best everyone else was awful and mostly ignored everyone else because of it.

I am not sure which one is worse in the grand scheme of things.

Though to be fair Winchester did become more of a person then I think Frank would have ever become.

Sheldon’s mom is a hoot and a half. I like all of the early episodes where she shows up.

To me, Frank Burns and Winchester were on different shows. Burns was on the campy MASH, while Winchester was on the more grounded dramedy MASH. I dislike Frank a lot and not in a good way - he was too clownish and he dragged down the Margaret character.

See I liked Sheldons mom. But it was Lenerds mom I did not like.

Agree. Mary Cooper was a hoot and a half. Beverly was heartless toward Leonard at times. The fact that she preferred Sheldon to her own son was hard to watch sometimes.

[Madam-Shogun-Assassin]

Wanda from the Bernie Mac show. I've brought her up before ages ago on this very board in a similar thread before the boards got rebooted. I still remember lol

Most cops from TV shows, yes even the ones from The Wire. But the most egregious ones was the detectives and and D.As from Law & Order. Almost ALL of them were smug self righteous dicks whom some should even be in jail themselves. Ironically

Naomi from The Expanse

Jon Snow, he's such a bland generic protagonist. But that's probably why he was popular, he was a pretty straight forward hero as opposed to the more morally complex characters.

Daryl Dixon, so clichéd but his popularity isn't surprising tho.

Clair, and Clif Huxtable, especially Clair. I said what I said.

Thor from the MCU

Rocket from the MCU

Captain Marvel, I'm just not into Brie Larsson. And I didn't care for her portrayal of the character.

Darcy from the MCU

Drax from the MCU

King Shark from DCEU

Peacemaker from the DCEU

Nick Clark from Fear The Walking Dead. At least during the first season. His popularity was fuckin BAFFLING!

too many soap opera characters to mention lmao

Horatio Cain from but I guess that's covered already from the above entry about most TV show cops.

Tiffany Malloy from Unhappily Ever After

Whitley Gilbert from A Different World. There's no way they could sell that character to me and make me like her.

While I'm thinking about it, Sam Puckett was a pretty terrible person.

[Catlady in training]

See I liked Sheldons mom. But it was Lenerds mom I did not like. But lets me honest. Howards mom was the best character that was not part of the main gang on the whole show.

I probably wouldn't be a fan of Leonard's mother if she were a real person either, but I liked her as a character. But I have no patience for religious nuts, in reality or on TV.

[CliffHanger2]

Most of the characters on The Boys.

[Riv86672]

The whole cast of Seinfeld.

^^^God yes but I’d so hang out w. them!

The Mom on Malcom in the Middle.

^^^Yeah she was just…a lot.

Carrie on King of Queens.

^^^She was hot though, to the point I’d have def. put up w. her (date not marry) for a while.

Chandler on Friends. Not funny and kind of a jerk.

^^^No, those awards go to Ross.
Like Ted Mosby, we’re supposed to root for him but both those guys were asses who manipulated everyone around them and played pity cards left and right.

————————

The two parents of Aston Kutcher's character from That 70's Show.

Did they ever show Aston Kutcher's parents on that 70s show? I remember kitty and Red and Donnas Parents.

^^^Was wondering the same.
Google says his dad John, a Senior Executive Statistical Analysis Technician, appeared only once in S1 but was mentioned several times.
Seems Kelso’s mom never appeared at all and wasn’t ever given a first name.

Chandler would be intolerable in real life. His incessant need to comment about every little thing that happens to other ppl would be too much for me.

^^^Social media was MADE for Chandler Bing.

Could this statement BE anymore true?

[Starter Set]

Ted Mosby. (How I Met Your Mother)

Never managed to enjoy that show because of him.

[Jack Dracula]

That bear family from the toilet paper commercials.
