    Yeah,what the hell did she see in that gob****e?

    Also that appaling woman who joined in series two and was telling the anecdote about skipping the queue at Disneyland Paris by pretending her kid was sick.She had the most horrible grating voice as well.

    Horatio in csi Miami. I know his delivery became a 'thing' but I think that was just an accidental bonus to what was really just a bad actor! Every scene he in bugged me to death. Hated David caruso in nypd too.

    Another vote for Lily in HIMYM. She was meddling in all their lives and being a right bossy boots.

    Jeffrey the snobbish neighbour in George And Mildred,mainly because the guy who played him wasn't much of an actor.

    Yeah Cassandra was terrible,largely down to the actress.I have to say when it comes to Only Fools I always prefer the Grandad era.I forgot to mention Damien,Del and Racquels son.He added nothing to it and the whole hatred thing that was developed between him and Rodney just wasn't funny.Yes the last few specials were just woeful.I don't know if was the last in the series but the last one I remember watching was the one with the illegal immigrant in the back of the van who kept saying "Gary".That whole episode was an embarrasment.


    That ****e with the village in France full of Uncle Albert lookalikes,it jumped the shark so much with that it was in orbit.

    Wesley Crusher - the Jar Jar Binks of Star Trek.

    Half the cast of Voyager are either annoying (Neelix) or bland (Paris, Kes, Chakotay). The Doctor, Seven of Nine and at times Janeway were the only ones worth watching.

    Carrie from Sex and the City. A whiny, self-absorbed brat with no redeeming characteristics whatsoever.

    Skylar White in Breaking Bad. Nobody else comes close.

    True, I suppose, but Mrs. ****ing Schroder, Margaret Thompson, ranks well up there in Boardwalk Empire. She nearly single-handedly brought that show to its knees in most of her scenes!

    Bernard in Black Books.Complete @rsehole of a character and played by Dylan Moran who I can't stand.

    Twist in Spaced.

    Pete in Mad Men.

    Agree re Bernard - tried watching Black Books in Netflix received and he's definitely the weakest link.
    Gotta disagree re Pete in Mad Men. The whining, the self-pity, the gift for self-sabotage, the occasional moments when he realises what he's doing and then snaps back into being an a$$ hat make him a fantastic character. Great acting too (I hope).

    Janeway had some very preachy, cringey lines.

    Seven of Nine used to speak?!?

    Kennedy in Buffy.

    Riley and Tara were the worst of the Buffyverse for me, there's nothing worse on a show then an incipid love interest.

    I have to add Ross from Friends
    His character became so annoying - Shouting and having a strop is not funny

    and yes Joffrey in GoT is unlikeable but he was a great character that made you scream at the screen
    while Robb Starkk and his wife were very poor.

    Shouty and stroppy. Not Monica at all.

    Like a lot of programs, Friends had 4 or 5 good seasons and then ran out of ideas, and started changing the characters.

    Ross in the prom videos and flashbacks was hilarious.

    Joey from Friends became unbearable. Went from a bit of an idiot to a complete and utter manchild.

    Totally agree about Ross. A lot of his funny stories were also so contrived like the leather pants and the fake tan. He had a mental breakdown after season 4 and became a completely different character. Monica also very annoying.

    Can't believe it took 5 pages for someone to mention Joffrey, such a little shít.

    In fairness it was this post that mentioned him - i cant take the credit http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=94796167&postcount=72

    With regards Friends they all became unlikable. just to keep the show running. It's quite amazing that if they ended they show after 4 seasons it could have been considered an all time great. But when a show continues to run you look back at contempt at earlier episodes and find flaws.

    Also with e4 showing every episode over and over and over doesnt help.

    And just to add to the list while I think of it

    E from entourage
    Ben from Parks and Rec
    Erin from The US Office
    Dr. Sarah from Prison Break

    I would add Dewey from Malcolm in the middle but only because the young lad cant act.

    I would also include Hannah from Girls but i dont like that show so most if not all the characters annoy me.

    I wasn't heckling you but if you are going to nominate someone for the shouty stroppy tightass award. Monica should have dibs on the brass statuete.

    It funny, I suggested Carmela, someone else suggested Meadow, and now you're suggesting AJ. I guess the only likeable Soprano is the womanising murderer.

    You can add Janice Soprano to the top of that list.

    I may be crucified for this but Littlefinger as played by Aidan Gillen, there's wooden and then there's Littlefinger who is worse.

    All of Nicholas Brody's family in Homeland, what a hopeless shower of gobsh**es. Whenever any of them appeared on screen I felt like throwing a large rock at the TV. It's hard to know which of the 3 were the worst.

    Marge and Lisa Simpson. Lisa's self righteousness can be irksome and I can hardly stand Marge's voice.
