    AJ Soprano. Just found him a whiny, entitled, ignorant and ungrateful little **** who caused Tony no end of grief and was a continuous disappointment. You'd have scenes where Tony'd be trying to teach him things about his heritage or talk to him about current events for school and the likes and he'd just sit there with a sulky expression whining about how bored he was.

    One episode he actually resented Tony for not being richer ffs, for "not having Don Corleone money". Another where
    in the penultimate episode Tony has a hit called on him by Phil Leotardo and Tony's evacuating the house to protect everyone as the Brooklyn mob have shown a worryingly apparent lack of hesitation to involve family when one of their capos makes perverted remarks toward Meadow in a restauarant. All AJ does is whine and cry that the situation is worsening his depression when Tony's sole concerns are protecting them from collateral damage and preventing himself from getting killed

    Course, i get the point that he's a product of their ****e parenting and pampering but it just meant he was a character (in fact the one character in the 86 episode history of the show) that i gave very little of a **** about. Just annoyed me in pretty much every scene he was in.

    Contrast his arc with Christopher's, the "son" in his other family and a similar disappointment. Yet Chris's story was one of the most engaging in the series.

    While Chris is certainly more engaging to watch as a TV character, I'd take AJ over him any day of the week in real life. :D

    Has anyone said nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest? One of the greatest performances of all time in my opinion. She represents every cold blooded, passive aggressive, bullying superior I've ever had the displeasure to work with. The way she intimidates everyone around her is masterful, and usually it's just with her body language and a cold stare, leaving a long silence that only increases the squirming factor. Brilliant, brilliant acting.

    Apparently Louise Fletcher got a lot of grief from members of the public for years afterwards such was her convincing performance. People had trouble separating the actor from the character. That is the true measure of greatness.

    Louise Fletchers role on Star Trek DS9 was basically "What if Nurse Ratchet became Pope". Brilliant actor.

    Pam Poovey and Cheryl Tunt from Archer: Show would be far better without them

    From House of Cards: President Walker (how can anyone be so blind to Frank's nature?), Jackie Sharp (every bit as ruthless as Frank, but far less charismatic), Rachel (just completely irritating)

    From the Big Bang Theory: Raj (you're camp, we get it. You don't have to make a "joke" about how many calories there are in whatever you're eating every couple of minutes), Penny (only slightly above average looking yet some sort of sex symbol for some reason)

    Every character from vapid shows like Entourage, Gossip Girl and Sex and the City.

    Pam Poovey used to be one of the greats but they completely destroyed her in the space of a couple of episodes. What happened the writers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    Aria Stark AND Bran Stark

    Total little sh!ts, couldn't give a toss about either of them or their storylines.

    Kill the whole stark family off for all I care, they have zero redeeming character traits and are played by annoying as fcuk actors (not including Jon Snow who's alright and Sean Bean who's a legend)

    Just finished Season 4 of The Wire. So many sleazeballs and horrible kants in it, and these are the supposed good guys.

    Commissioner Irv Burrel. Political Snake
    Asst Commissioner William Rawls. Sarky snake
    Sergeant Jay Landsman. Lazy slob.
    Senator Clay Davis. Corrupt animal... great catchphrase though.
    Former Mayor Clarence Royce. Sleazy sh*tebag.

    I despise Marlo Stanfield too. Probably the worst f*cker in it is Omar Little but the man is such a boss that you have to love him.

    Lori in The Walking Dead. Incredibly whiny, delighted when she got eaten!

    If you are being pedantic
    Didn't Karl shoot her?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,964 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    He killed her cutting her open to get his sister, then a zombie scoffed her.

    Malcolm from Malcolm in the middle, he was the only character in the show I really disliked. Moany little pus bag head on him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Scorpio from Dirty Harry what a nasty piece of work he was.
    Bellick form prison break was very unlikeable.
    The animals of farting wood had a snake in it who was a real cnut.

    Jaime Lannister - GoT. They trying to show him as a positive character but It looks like everyone forgot he pushed a Stark kid from the tower window.

    Every bloody character EVER played by Tom Arnold. Watched an episode of Bear Grylls that he was in and how Bear didnt fcuk him off the side of a mountain, I don't know.

    Sweet suffering jayzis, he is a dose of a man.

    Nearly forgot Lester Nigard in fargo.
    At first I felt sorry for him but as time passes you realise he is a very cunning and selfish little fcuker. Great turn by Martin Freeman.

    Y'know what? I really dislike Martin Freeman, he always seems to be as contrary as feck whether he is in character or not. Moody little shyte.

    That scene in the school bus.. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,669 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    Kenard from The Wire. Hated the little sh*te for most of season 4 & 5, and then killing Omar put him in a whole new world of hate for me. What's interesting for me is that Kenard was the kid pretending to be Omar in Season 3 after the be shootout on the street. Great foreshadowing there by the creators, but still hard to take.

    Janice Soprano. Should have been killed off instead of Bobby.

    You're probably right. Don't remember that bit.

    Or on the roof when he's casually picking out a victim, the way he panics when he loses sight of his chosen one.

    A real dirtbag..when Callaghan stepped on his leg in the stadium I was delighted. :D

    Seems to be a lot of hate for characters in 'The Wire'.

    Personally, I despised Snoop (who's a little **** in real life too I gather) and Marlo, the little creepy ratfaced fuk.
