Top 10 Most Annoying Current TV Characters

 
10. Bill Compton (True Blood) – Bill is on this list for not much more than his incessant SOOKIE’S. But that’s not to deny his own annoying factors even if they are limited to his interactions with Sookie. Outside that relationship Bill isn’t the worst of characters, but since the show is kind of centered on that Bill & Sookie relationship, Bill’s annoyance factor skyrockets.

 

9. Elena Gilbert (Vampire Diaries) – A very recent addition to the list because of how she’s handled her transformation into a vampire. Elena always had her whiny qualities but it was normally limited to which vampire brother (Damon or Stefan) she should love. In a CW teen supernatural show you can look past that if her other qualities are strong and Elena was nothing if not a passionate fighter so she got a pass for the most part. But with her transformation, the whining has been ramped up to almost unfathomable levels especially when compared to prior characters going from human to vampire. Elena has become almost unbearable. 

 

 

8. Andrea (Walking Dead) – Here is a situation of a character from one medium not translating as well. Andrea’s comic character in The Walking Dead is one of the strongest and self-sufficient characters. In the television show, she is the walking embodiment of a damsel in distress basically. She’s latched onto every unattached guy and in one case a female in the vicinity in order for her to believe she has a role in the world she’s been thrust into. From Dale to Shane to Darryl to Michonne and now the Governor, Andrea seems to need to rely on someone and while in the grand sense that might not be annoyance, it becomes a major annoyance when you realize the potential of the character that the comics established.

 

7. Jane Forrest (New Normal) – Here is a character who could and should probably be higher but I’ve become accustomed to tuning out her scenes. On a not very good show, this is the biggest reason why. The rest of the cast has their moments of charm and humor but this racist, sexist, misogynistic, and every other -ist you can think of ruins every single scene. It seems they want to take her over the top attitudes and make it funny but to me it does the exact opposite and annoys me that other characters haven’t beaten this miserable bitch up. 

6. Carl Grimes (Walking Dead) – The first of three child characters on the list and the one who’s been annoying on both ends of the spectrum. He’s gone from a season 1 and 2 annoyance levels of stop being so damn stupid because of incessant running off and causing the rest of the survivors to have to spend hours looking for him to now being the baddest of the bad asses. The fact is he still sucks and the sooner he’s zombie bait and gets a bullet between the eyes, the better everyone in the group will be.

 5. Manny Delgado (Modern Family) – Number two of the child characters and the one with probably the most annoying singular personality. His 40 year-old-man in a 12-year-old-body grates on every single nerve because it is so unrealistic. I understand the negatives of bullying but if ever a kid needed to be beaten daily on the playground, it’s one Manny Delgado. Please Manny…STOP GROWING UP.

 4. Tara Thornton (True Blood) – I don’t even know where to begin with where this one annoys me but she just does. Human, vampire, straight, lesbian, single, dating, etc. and etc. and none of it has changed the fact that Tara seems like a complete black hole of interest. On a show with vampires and were-animals and faeries and shape shifters and witches and everything you can imagine including a few normal humans, Tara has never fit in the world and every scene she is in, you just wait for her to leave so something interesting could happen. Even her getting her head blown near clean off before becoming a vampire was boring. Shotgun blast to the head and still I didn’t care; that’s a sign of annoyance.

3. Lori Grimes (Walking Dead) – This one’s dead but I don’t think that’s going to change her annoyance factor. She’s manipulative without meaning to be and a drama queen in a world where drama is totally unnecessary. One could hold her choices before Rick’s arrival against her but that was the least of her issues. Her continuing playing of Rick against Shane led to a major chasm between the two and a fracturing of the group prior to Shane’s death. And her “mothering” of Carl led to his inclusion on the list and the hopes of many that both wind up zombie bait sooner rather than later.

2. Ted Mosby (How I Met Your Mother) – A catalyst for his show and this one’s as big a wet blanket as you can get. Some of this blame should be on the writers for dragging out a 2-3 season story for 7 years, but even as a character Ted is just someone you’d never want to be around. He complains about finding love and then when he dates he jumps right into the 8^th month of a relationship even if it’s been 8 minutes. And then he compares everyone to his “first” “true” love when the fact is he had no chemistry with her. We get it, you want to find someone to be the mother to your children, we just don’t care about it anymore because whoever she is will need to be dumb, deaf, and stupid to deal with you.

1. Henry Mills (Once Upon A Time) – The catalyst for the entire show is also the biggest problem for the show. While the character of Henry was necessary to bring Emma to Storybrooke and kick off the story since that moment, he’s done nothing but cause problems for the entire population of the town. And yes, he’s still just a kid but for a kid who believes in fairy tales, he totally doesn’t grasp the concept that lying and disobeying and just being a general nuisance will lead to problems for everyone around him.
