Characters We'll Never Forget

Most Annoying

You know them. You hate them. Honestly, who knows&nbsp;why these characters even exist. Did someone think they were funny? Maybe adorable? Seriously? Like fingernails on a chalkboard, these annoying characters take teeth-gritting perseverance and expert channel-switching to avoid. Usually an attempt at comic relief, these are the characters you can&#39;t even love to hate. You just hate them. There are even some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whiniest-heroes-movies/ashley-reign" target="_blank">movie heroes whose incessant whininess</a> is enough to drive us all crazy.

Who is the most annoying movie or TV character of all time? We may never know. But this list will help us get a step closer (and let you know which movies and shows to avoid). Do annoying movie characters like Jar Jar Binks make Star Wars not worth watching? Maybe not. But we definitely won&#39;t be seeing any spinoff sequels starring the annoying little guy.

Is Barney the most annoying TV character ever? Or do you hate Screech more? No one can blame you for finding these characters obnoxious and terrible, but to crown the worst offender, you&#39;ve got to make your voice heard. Vote for the MOST annoying characters, rank them as you see fit... and be sure to add any that are missing. After you are done, head over and vote on the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-annoying-kid-characters-of-all-time/desertrat89?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most annoying kid</a> characters in pop culture history.

The People in Your TV

Secretly horrible TV nice guys are the sort of character that has&nbsp;been around for a while. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/nice-guy-stories-from-reddit/brandon-michaels">You know the type</a>. In their series, they initially seem all warm and kind and compassionate. We see them forging true friendships with the women of their dreams and being there for them at every turn. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-hated-tv-characters/matthewcoleweiss">Unlike more obvious jerks</a>, nice guys appear friendly and open, willing to give a helping hand whenever needed. They don’t do anything reprehensible per se, because they strive to stay true to their niceness. But as time goes by, they slowly reveal their inner ugliness.The worst nice guys on TV like to complain about their love interest dating horrible dudes, but don’t exactly do anything toward&nbsp;asking the girl out or confessing their feelings. Instead of being straightforward, or moving on, or maybe assuming the other person isn't interested, they pine for months or years on end. They show an entitlement to a love interest’s affection because, look at them, they’re so freaking nice. Best case, they mope in silence and refuse to move on. Worst case, they become jealous, controlling, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/seth-cohen-from-the-oc-is-manipulative/rebecca-shortall">and manipulative</a>. &nbsp;Sometimes, these dudes are so skilled at hiding their true colors it takes repeat viewings to see just how awful they are. So just in case you mistook them initially, here’s a quick roundup of the worst nice guys on TV.

12 TV "Nice Guys" Who Are Horrible Human Beings In Disguise

What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.

Love on Screen

List of the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples in TV history, current or past. These ‘will they or won’t they?’ couples have added romantic tension to the best television shows and given viewers a reason not to miss an episode -- after all, no one wants to say they missed the moment when a will-they-or-won’t-they TV couple finally did or didn’t. Sometimes frustrating, sometimes sweet, the best will-they-or-won’t-they couples viewers have enjoyed are on this list, from early television to currently-running series.&nbsp;The ‘will they or won’t they’ trope is nothing new to TV shows, and the list of problems that can keep seemingly destined-for-each-other couples apart is nearly endless. One half of the will-they-or-won’t-they couple might already have a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband (think Pam and Jim) or the two may appear not to get along, even though viewers can sense the underlying romantic feelings. Other common problems for will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples are location, job or social position, or the unwillingness of one half to commit (think Carrie and Mr. Big). &nbsp;Sometimes a will-they-or-won’t-they couple causes problems for a TV series. If the biggest appeal of a show is whether a couple will get together, will viewers still tune in after they do? On the other hand, the ‘will they or won’t they?’ storyline can become too drawn out, leaving viewers irritated. Of course, will-they-or-won’t-they couples have also caused some of the most touching and most heartbreaking moments in television. The first kiss or a marriage proposal after a drawn out will-they-or-won’t-they storyline can even bring a tear to the eye.&nbsp;If you’ve lived every tension-filled moment with the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples in history, then you understand how powerful TV can be. Enjoy this list of the best will-they-or-won’t-they TV couples and vote your favorites up.

TV Characters We Love & Hate

Fictional Characters

Television is fun, but some TV characters are just the worst. For every beloved character on television, whether it be Mary Tyler Moore of The Mary Tyler Moore Show or everyone&#39;s favorite resident of the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrion Lannister, there is an equally and adamantly <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-deserved-tv-villain-ends/jack-rogers" target="_blank">disliked character</a> on the tube (hi, Joffrey and Cousin Oliver!!). This list ranks the worst of the worst, including all the most terrible television characters and most hated TV characters of all time.

Yes, it&#39;s true that not everyone is going to like every character on a show, just as not everyone will like every person in real life. However, you will find that there are some characters that are so universally detested by everyone that no one bats an eye when they learn they&#39;re near the top of this list of awful TV characters.&nbsp;Have you ever stopped watching a show simply because one character annoyed you so much? This is a list about those guys and gals.

The list includes some of the most vile TV characters. They aren&#39;t necessarily vile because they are bad or evil, but simply because every time they come on the screen, you wish they&#39;d just go away. &nbsp;In other words, they&#39;re not characters you &quot;love to hate,&quot; they&#39;re unpopular, disliked characters you just absolutely can&#39;t stand.

Vote up the worst TV characters in all of television history that you dislike the most, add any other bad television characters that aren&#39;t already listed here, among the worst.

Even in the lauded&nbsp;golden age of television, terrible characters who ruin your favorite TV shows remain a staple in everyone's Hulu, HBO, and Netflix queues.

Anyone familiar with&nbsp;Gossip Girl&nbsp;knows the feeling of following a regrettable character who brings the show down.

24 Obnoxious TV Characters Who Ruin Your Favorite Shows

The greatest only children in TV history have many talents, little competition for their parents’ affections, and – unless they are the title character of their respective shows – a lot of free time. Some only children bear great responsibilities, bestowed on them either by their parents (Veronica Mars) or a teenage serial-killer ghost (Violet Harmon, American Horror Story). Other great only children characters are short, towheaded maniacs who like to terrorize elderly neighbors (Dennis the Menace).Only children on TV have the best of two worlds: They don’t have to share screen time with annoying siblings; plus, they usually get a pet. (Though, sadly, that pet will probably die to teach the only child about death.) TV moms and dads love to lecture only children about how the world works (Opie Taylor, The Andy Griffith Show), but turnabout is fair play, so sometimes only children get to deliver the lectures (Alexis Castle, Castle). Life can be confusing for an only child, especially when he or she is adopted into a nontraditional family (Punky Brewster; Webster), is reunited with an estranged parent (Henry Mills, Once Upon a Time), has magical powers (Tabitha Stevens, Bewitched), or has a sexual deviant as a parent (Eric Cartman, South Park). Luckily, only children are usually of above-average intelligence, or might even be child prodigies (Doogie Howser, M.D).The storylines for the best only children in TV history are as varied as the shows in which they star. Yet, they are all beloved, thanks to syndication, from one generation to the next.

List of the greatest characters we watched grow up on TV. This list ranks the best TV characters who grew up before the audience's very eyes week to week, or more aptly, year to year. Going through puberty is not exactly easy. But going through puberty in front of an international audience is something on a whole other level. If one wishes to know what that is like, he or she may ask the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">actors and actresses</a> behind the TV characters on this list. Some of the best characters who grew up from season to season belong in families like the Tanners in San Francisco, as we watched D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle literally go from children to human beings over the course of &quot;Full House.&quot; Remember when Corey and Topanga were bickering classmates in &quot;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/boy-meets-world-trivia/amylindorff?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Boy Meets World</a>?&quot; If so, you also probably remember when they started dating and when they got married.
