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.

There are a bunch of movies that feature teachers prominently. In most movies, teachers are a nameless bunch who often times lurk in the background and don&#39;t play much of a role in shaping the plot line. The fictional teachers on this list are different. They play prominent roles in the movies they are in and their teaching and mentoring of the characters is an integral part of the movie. Whenever Robin Williams is sporting a thick beard, he is playing a serious role. Playing the parts of John Keating in Dead Poets Society and Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, Williams thrived as these characters and they are considered two of the best fictional <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-teacher-characters-in-film/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">teachers in movies</a>.

Though he&#39;s not a teacher in the traditional sense, Mr. Miyagi proved to be one of the greatest mentors in movie history. He taught Daniel LaRusso (and later Julie Pierce) discipline and how to outsmart and outthink his opponents. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Dewey Finn, played by Jack Black in School of Rock. Not a teacher by trade, Finn taught his class of 10-year-olds life lessons and how to play rock music and by the end of the film, learned a thing or two about himself.

Vote for the teach you think is the best fictional teacher. If there is anyone missing from this list, feel free to add them.

Extroverts aren't all bad and sometimes their bold, outgoing nature is an asset to social situations and work environments. However, some extroverts can be a bit much,&nbsp;especially if you're on the more withdrawn, introverted side of the spectrum. Because quirky personalities and over-the-top characters sell, there is no shortage of annoying extroverted TV characters. Such characters have an insatiable&nbsp;need to relate to others, talk through their every thought, and constantly connect. Some fictional extroverts can be funny and charming,&nbsp;sure, but the worst of the bunch are emotionally needy and - frankly - just plain annoying.&nbsp;From&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-esfps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ESFPs</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-entps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ENTPs</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-estps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">ESTP</a>s and onward, television runs the gamut of the extroversion. Sometimes, it gets old. Some fictional extroverts were fun at first, but their antics lost their appeal over the course of many seasons. Fans are increasingly fatigued with the endless quirkiness of&nbsp;New Girl's&nbsp;Jessica Day and - back in the '90s - Friends&nbsp;enthusiasts found Phoebe's boundless enthusiasm suffered from the law of diminishing returns.&nbsp;Other annoying TV characters that happen to sway to the extrovert side of the spectrum were abhorred from day one. Do fans of Petyr Baelish of&nbsp;Game of Thrones&nbsp;actually exist and wasn't Grey's Anatomy's&nbsp;Izzie Stevens&nbsp;always&nbsp;a little too holier-than-thou for the liking?&nbsp;Keep in mind, this is all a little&nbsp;subjective. Those of us with extroverted qualities may find these characters more relatable than annoying. But for introverts&nbsp;sensitive to the overhearing nature of extroverts, many of these characters are just too much.&nbsp;Which of these extroverted characters are the worst? Vote up the characters that drive you nuts and vote down the charaacters you find (mostly) tolerable.&nbsp;If you know of any <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-annoying-tv-and-film-characters-ever" target="_blank">annoying TV characters</a> who are extroverts,&nbsp;add them to the list!

Romance

List of the best perpetual bachelor TV characters, as ranked by television critics and fans. The bachelor character seems to pop up on nearly every television show, especially in sitcoms. These types of male characters are constantly dating, flitting from one fling to the next. Sometimes, like in the case of Joey from Friends, the character isn’t looking for anything too serious, just dates around a lot for the fun of it. Other times,the character is hopelessly romantic but unlucky in love, like How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby and Scrubs’s J.D. Many of these characters are quite the catch, with great jobs, good looks, and charming personalities. While bachelor characters like Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights and The Good Wife’s Will Gardner often get into relationships, they often last only a few episodes due to their permanently single personalities. Not all of the everlasting bachelors on this list are straight, with gay characters like Max Blum and Jack McFarland dating just as much as the rest.Who are the finest eternal bachelors on TV? This list includes characters who can’t seem to catch a break in the dating department or aren’t interested in settling down any time soon.

2019: What's on TV?

2019 tv

The Golden Age of Television is not only bringing small screen audiences some of the most innovative and entertaining programs ever, it&rsquo;s also bringing spectators some of the best male TV characters of all time.

Patriarchs, police detectives, and teenagers are no longer held hostage by the standard tropes of their macho predecessors -&nbsp;the Me Too movement has finally made its way to television, and it&rsquo;s giving us some of the most well-rounded male characters in 2019.

Sure, none of these characters are perfect. But perhaps that&rsquo;s one of the reasons why they&#39;re so relatable. The best male TV characters need to be three-dimensional. No one in real life is all good or all bad; we live in shades of grey and only hope that we&rsquo;re making the right decisions. We&rsquo;re only now comfortable rooting for a lawyer whose practice skirts around legal technicalities, or a good dude who just happens to be a weed dealer.

Who are the best male characters in 2019? Put these men up to the test by voting up your current favorites. And if your personal favorite male character is missing, add them to the list!

Who&rsquo;s your favorite LGBTQ+ TV character?

Television is one of the most powerful and influential mediums in the world, but it wasn&rsquo;t until 1998 that there was an openly gay male lead character on TV. Will &amp; Grace premiered in the fall of that year, absolutely crushed the ratings, and forever changed the gay culture of television. Since then, there have been dozens of LGBTQ+ television characters. Today, there are even gay and transgender superheroes, adoptive fathers, and much, much more.
