In so many different TV shows and movies, there are those classic characters: the ones that really aren't great people, might even offend us on some level, but that we still can't help but love. Without further ado, here are some of the characters we hate to love that stand out to me most:

1. Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf.

Especially early on in the series Gossip Girl, Chuck and Blair are actually awful people. Chuck objectifies women and is an all-around selfish douchebag, and Blair is obsessed with being Queen Bee no matter the expense to the girls around her. But somehow we still love these two, and they make a perfect pair. This is because they actually make each other better people. Chuck causes Blair to be more sensible and Blair causes Chuck to respect women and think about himself less.

2. Michael Scott.

Michael Scott is a big part of the reason The Office is such an iconically hilarious and widely loved show. However, if we were to meet this guy in real life we would probably find him a lot less funny. With his inappropriate sense of humor and consistently racist remarks, he crosses a lot of lines. We still love him, though, and I think it's because deep down past all the inappropriateness, he has a big heart. He just wants to be loved and respected, so he uses his humor as a shield. And don't we all do that sometimes?

3. Walter White.

He cooks and sells crystal meth. His character turns into a murderous man who doesn't stop at anything and doesn't flinch when he has to murder another person who gets in his way. Despite all of this we still feel for him because he is doing all of it for his family (at least at first). We can't help but love him when we remember the man he used to be, teaching chemistry and being a great husband and dad.

4. Severus Snape.

Sometimes he seems like a good guy, sometimes he seems like an evil guy. We never really figure Snape out, but we definitely hate that he seems to always want to be getting Harry Potter in trouble and that he killed Dumbledore. When we hear his backstory and when we find out he's helped Harry, though, there is a lovable quality to him that we can't dismiss.

5. Edward Cullen.

Edward watches Bella sleep and is overall really dramatic and creepy, but half of us are still rooting for him and wish we had a boyfriend that was as amazing and loving as good ole Edward. The only reasoning I could come up with is that girls want a protective guy who will die for them, and Edward is that guy. Even if he's weird.

6. Miranda Sings.

Miranda Sings is a great character loved by many. In Haters Back Off, we learn just how selfish and annoying she can be. If we met this chick in real life, we wouldn't be able to believe how aggravating she is. But watching her from behind a screen is fun and entertaining.
