Every once and while there comes along a character we love to hate. Or even a character we hate to love. Then other times… we end up with a character we can’t help but point blank, HATE. They come from the shows we love. We sit through every episode and patiently await each of their departures, just imagining how much better the series would be without them. They annoy us, make us angry, make us cringe, and may even leave us questioning why we continue our 72-hour Netflix binge. Here are the worst TV characters ever…
30. Candace Flynn – “Phineas and Ferb”
SNITCH. Wanted nothing more than to rat her brothers out, and for what? Having too much fun??? Go back to Mars.
29. Elsa Mars – “American Horror Story”
SMH. Only respectable thing she did the whole season was cover Lana Del Rey’s “Gods and Monsters.” What a poor note to leave the series on, Jessica Lange.
28. Angelica Pickles – “Rugrats”
Spoiled brat.
27. Randy Pearson – “That 70s Show”
Eric leaving + Randy coming = Me discontinuing my binge
26. Cindy Vortex – “Jimmy Neutron”
Know-it-all and thought she was smarter than Jimmy. She was wrongly mistaken.
25. Toby Flenderson – “The Office”
If Michael Scott hates you, then so do we.
24. Betty Cooper – “Riverdale”
Overly obsessive and infatuated. There’s a reason Archie didn’t want you. It really turned me off when she pretended to be Polly, now I just can’t look at her the same. Psychotic bitch.
23. Matt Donovan – “The Vampire Diaries”
Hangs out with the exact same people who killed his sister. Talk about good family values.
22. Paige McCullers – “Pretty Little Liars”
Tried drowning Emily in a pool… and then tried dating her. There’s a combo you don’t see every day. Worst couple in the whole series; Emily was way outta her league.
21. Piper Chapman – “Orange Is the New Black”
… she’s the protagonist? Since when is the audience supposed to root for racists? What makes it worse? Piper is actually a real person.
20. Sophia Marlowe – “Girlboss”
Britt Robertson even said it herself, you’re not supposed to like her. Better yet, onscreen Sophia even called herself a “garbage person.” The good thing about her? At least she knows her place.
19. Norma Bates – “Bates Motel”
Ummm… she was practically in love with her son and it did nothing but turn him into a psycho. Literally. Mother of the Year? Don’t think so.
18. Hannah Horvath – “Girls”
There’s a reason I couldn’t make it past the first episode. Its name was Hannah Horvath. Talk about annoying… and self-absorbed… and unappreciative… and lazy… and you get the point.
17. Bernadette Rostenkowski – “The Big Bang Theory”
Oh my god. Just please stop talking–like forever. I can honestly say her voice pierces through my ears. How do you do it, Howard?
16. Lucas Scott – “One Tree Hill”
His personality has absolutely no substance. He thought he was so mature and above everyone else. Definitely shouldn’t hate him as much as I do, but Chad Michael Murray is an asshole and that just kinda ruins it for me.
15. Ben Linus – “Lost”
Sociopath. Insecure, reckless, compulsive liar, manipulative and my man had some serious daddy issues. Became leader of the Others by killing all the DHARMA Initiative members. Befriended Jack and the survivors, then back-stabbed someone every chance he got for his own self-interest.
14. Courtney Crimsen – “13 Reasons Why”
Just admit you like girls. NO ONE CARES. No need to take out what you can’t accept about yourself on someone else.
13. Victoria Grayson – “Revenge”
Modern day Cersei Lannister. Has an affair with this guy who she loves, but sets him up and frames him for bombing an airplane then hires someone for his murder. Will do anything to protect her kids, like pay off a judge when her son gets a DUI and abuses girls. No big deal.
12. Andrea Harrison – “The Walking Dead”
Three words, let me sum it up: A complete idiot. Crushed on Shane, continuously bragged about how great she was with a gun and then accidently killed Dale, abandoned Michonne and hooked up with The Governor. Pretty sure everyone disliked her more than The Governor himself. I can confidently say she has no redeeming qualities.
11. Ross Geller – “Friends”
Even his name just sounds annoying. It took him how long to get with Rachel? Too long. And it wouldn’t have been possible with some manipulation, jealousy and mental abuse. Good thing he’s not a doctor of relationship advice.
10. Papa – “Stranger Things”
No one fucks with Eleven.
9. Bryce Walker – “13 Reasons Why”
In my opinion, the ultimate reason why Hannah Baker committed suicide. Why is it that rich boys can get away with everything?
8. Carl Grimes – “The Walking Dead”
Wants to prove himself as a man, but his whiny attention-whore tendencies do the exact opposite.
7. Rachel Berry – “Glee”
I lost count of how many times I wish I could crawl through the TV screen and slap her across her face. We get it, you think you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, but there’s a reason you had no friends. Selfish, ego-centric, self-absorbed, conceited, loves playing victim… just to name a few of many traits we can’t stand.
6. Karen Jackson – “Shameless”
Where do I even start? She played Lip like he was her favorite board game, forced Frank to have sex with her and sent a video to her dad… who then committed suicide, told Lip she was pregnant but forgot to mention it wasn’t his, tried making a profit off her baby, ran away from home because her mom wanted to keep her baby, and then tried to sabotage her mom’s happiness. Yep, she’s a keeper.
5. Jenny Humphrey – “Gossip Girl”
Little J’s reign as Queen Bee should’ve ended faster than it started. She wanted to be Blair Waldrof so bad. From the popularity, fashion, friends and let’s not forget about the boys. Please tell us what were you thinking, Chuck? I never thought anything could ruin How the Grinch Stole Christmas but Cindy Lou Who’s association with Taylor Momsen makes me cringe.
4. Cersei Lannister – “Game of Thrones”
LMAO. Some things just don’t need an explanation. Just patiently waiting for her end to come.
3. Joffrey Baratheon – “Game of Thrones”
Mother like son…? I’ve never seen such spitting image. We all praise Olenna for ending this one.
2. Debbie Gallagher – “Shameless”
If this isn't the most cringe-worthy gif... I swear she wants everyone to hate her. She really is Frank Gallagher’s daughter. While everyone else really makes an effort to better life, she stays on her bullshit.
1. Ramsey Bolton – “Game of Thrones”
Took over Winterfell. The creator of Reek. Marries, abuses and rapes Sansa. Kills his own father, his father’s wife and their unborn son. Also kills Rickon in The Battle of the Bastards. This accumulation of events makes him worthy of most satisfying death in the series. Unleashing his own hungry dogs on him, Sansa is a bad ass bitch for that.
