28. Beat me to it. n/t

[Backseat Driver]

5. First to come to mind - Frank Burns - M.A.S.H

Truly annoying...

[Shermann]

7. I think he was supposed to be annoying.

It's more annoying when it is unintentional in my opinion.

[debm55]

8. Thank you very much. Backseat Driver.

[Shermann]

6. Carl and Judith Grimes on The Walking Dead. nt

[debm55]

10. Thank you Shermann.

[Lunabell]

77. It's Coral, dammit!

Oops, that was for the post about Carl, not you. If you follow twd, you will get it.

[arkielib]

9. Darrin Stephens on Bewitched.

[debm55]

11. Thank you artielib. was it the first Darrin or the the second Darrin or both?

[arkielib]

16. Both, but the first one was more irritating than the second.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. That's A Good One!

Really! What the heck was that guy thinking?
Beautiful wife who could make life ultra easy, so he controls her?
Dope!

[debm55]

14. Thank you ProfessorGAC

[True Dough]

13. This guy right here

And, yes, I do believe he's playing a character (while still being truly evil to the core).

[debm55]

15. Thank you True Dough. He always has this duh look on his face.

[True Dough]

17. He sure does!

Stunned as a horse's arse!

[debm55]

18. Gilligan

[Dear_Prudence]

39. Mr. Howell

Was pretty annoying also. 🙄

[debm55]

40. Yes with his annoying stuffed teddy bear

[justaprogressive]

19. Reagan

First Wagon Train then trickle down

Made Arnold look like Laurence Olivier!

[debm55]

20. I liked Arnold on Green Acres. I thought Mr. Haney was annoying

[justaprogressive]

21. My turn to laugh!

Perhaps I should have written "Ahnold"

[debm55]

25. HAHAHAHAHHAHA. That's is funny.

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. I love the show The Office, but

the character of Erin is sooooooooooo incredibly annoying to me. They made her so stupid!

[debm55]

29. Thank you , Mad_Dem_X

[debm55]

24. Thank you very much for your choices Nanuke.

[Gruenemann]

37. Yeah, Uncle Charlie

My first choice

[debm55]

41. Thank you Gruenemann I agree on Uncle Charlie, too,

[rzemanfl]

26. He was in a show called "The Apprentice."

I refuse to say his name.

[debm55]

30. I agree and thank you.

[bovine6]

27. Might be unpopular but

Gilligan on Gilligan's Island. He was kind-hearted which I appreciated, but so annoying. I liked the rest of the castaways.

[debm55]

32. He was very annoying. always screwing up the Professor's plans.

[WheelWalker]

31. Lawrence Welk

[debm55]

33. and a one and a two, Thank you WheelWalker I agree.

[oberle]

34. Elspeth

Annoying show. Annoying character.

[debm55]

35. I haven't watched it yet. I'll have to watch and see what it's like. Thank you oberle.

[Silent Type]

83. I like it, but was surprised. It's an oddball police show, kind of like a female Columbo,

though she’s not as likable. But can see why a lot of folks would prefer something else.

[Kittycatkat]

36. David Carouso playing any of his characters.

I can’t watch the first season of NYPD Blue(a show I LOVE) because I can’t stand him. Never could. Don’t know why, but it is visceral.

[debm55]

38. I understand and some poster will not agree but Lucy Ricardo for me.

[Marigold]

53. Omg, I almost said Lucy too

I was afraid to admit it because she is such a comic icon. When I was a little kid I couldn't understand why she acted so stupidly and like a baby.

[3catwoman3]

56. You are not alone.

See my post #55.

[debm55]

57. That's why I found her annoying;

[chicoescuela]

113. 100%, she was the worst. Even as a little kid I couldn't stand her show

Fred, Ethyl and Ricky I could tolerate

[debm55]

120. agree, childish

[Lunabell]

79. OMG, yes!

On CSI Miami, every time he'd pose for the camera and remove his sunglasses, I so wanted to punch his face!!

[happybird]

105. The guys on Supernatural did a hilarious parody

of ol' Horatio in one of the funniest episodes of SPN called Changing Channels.

The removal of the sunglasses, the look, the head angle, the stupid murder pun... it was perfect every time they did it.

Add: Found it!

(They keep popping into different TV shows and have to act the part correctly in order to pass through this trap set by a Trickster.)

[Harker]

42. Mork. Floyd the barber.

Goober.

Anyone portrayed by Parley Baer.

[debm55]

44. I missed the character of Gomer and Gober wasn't it. thank you Harker.

[nature-lover]

43. Joel Fleishman from Northern Exposure.

[debm55]

45. Thank you nature-lover. agree.

[keithbvadu2]

46. Beavis and Butthead........ Now played by Eric and Donnie Jr

[debm55]

47. thank you keithbvadu2

[Archae]

48. Alf, AKA Gordon Shumway.

Ye gawds, I detested that show.

[debm55]

50. Thank you Archae

[GigiLeigh]

49. This is from a newer show

Gina from Brooklyn 99. I can not stand her character and do not find her funny at all.

[debm55]

51. Thank you GigiLeigh

[Ocelot II]

52. The entire casts of both "Friends" and "Seinfeld."

[debm55]

60. Never watched one episode of Friends. I did like George on Seinfeld in certain episodes.

[Elessar Zappa]

61. For Seinfeld, hating them was kinda the point of the show lol.

They were all low key narcissists bordering on possible sociopathy. That said, I did enjoy the show. For Friends, I thought Joey and Chandler were funny but didn’t like the other four.

[greatauntoftriplets]

54. Barney Fife.

That voice! That stupidity!

[debm55]

65. Agree. all Don Knotts characters were the same. seen one, you have seen them all. Thank you.

[La Coliniere]

85. Hated him in all his movie roles as well

As a child I lived within walking distance to 3 movie theaters and saw just about everything. I knew The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Shakiest Gun in the West, and The Incredible Mr. Limpet were going to suck even before I saw them. God he was an annoying actor. Heard he was a putz in his personal life.

[debm55]

90. Yes all three roles were the same

[3catwoman3]

55. Another vote for Lucy Ricardo. Even as a little girl...

...I detested the way that character had to act stupid and be manipulative/sneaky in order to get what she wanted.

Add any other female character where the woman had to play dumb or was actually written to be not very bright.

Add Don Knott's portrayal of Barney Fife to my list, and Gomer and Goober. And pretty much anything played by Jerry Lewis.

It often seemed to me that Jerry Lewis was mocking people with physical and intellectual disabilities when he would don his oversized glasses and fake misaligned teeth.

[debm55]

58. I totally agree with your post 3catwoman3. Never liked Jerry Lewis.especially the glasses and teeth. Not funny.

[slumcamper]

59. Barney Fife

[debm55]

62. Agree and every role that Don Knotts was in. I found him annoying ,because he played the same role over and over.

[debm55]

63. Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory.very annoying to me.

[kerouac2]

64. Scrappy doo

From Scooby Doo. Not sure why that came to mind but it was my first thought haha.

[debm55]

66. Thank you keruac2. I understand.

[Lulu KC]

67. Gaffney on Homicide

But he's supposed to be annoying. Does that count? A good villain.

[debm55]

68. It counts, Thank you Lulu KC

[wnylib]

69. Ralph Cramden in The Honeymooners, played by Jackie Gleason.

A misogynistic blowhard who normalized violent threats toward his wife -- and the canned laughter that was played when he did it.

[debm55]

70. Agree. I never liked Jackie Gleason.

[RB77]

71. Pat Robertson !!

Not only was he a terrible actor on The 500 Club, but also an ass.

[debm55]

72. Thank you RB77. Agree on both counts.

[AllaN01Bear]

73. batman (adam west)robin ( bert ward).(cmdr adama) ,lorrene greene ,( i met him once .

[debm55]

74. Thank you Bear

[Clouds Passing]

75. The nanny...

Although Fran Drescher is a fine human.

[debm55]

110. I couldn't take her voice...very annoying.

[Lunabell]

76. The whole cast of Three's Company.

Sorry John, but that show sucked.

[debm55]

99. I totally agree. Lunabell

[amerikat]

78. I find Kevin Hart pretty annoying.

It's his voice I think.

[debm55]

114. Thank you amerikat.

[if..fish..had..wings]

80. Dawn Summers

Supposed to annoying to her sister, but was just annoying overall.

[Shermann]

95. She was a bit annoying but didn't ruin the show or anything. nt

[Keepthesoulalive]

81. Uncle Tonoose

The Danny Thomas Show

[debm55]

121. Yes, i remember him, Very annoying

[Metaphorical]

82. Will agree on Dr.Smith, also Spongebob Squarepants

I sympathized with Squidward.

[debm55]

119. Thank you Metaphorical

[spooky3]

84. Ted Baxter on MTM was annoying but funny. Nt

[debm55]

111. Thank you spooky3 very annoying.

[spooky3]

112. Hi Deb!

[solara]

86. I'm probably alone in this:

MSNBC's Kornacki

Ronald Reagan

Andrea Mitchell

trump in anything, on anything, saying anything

Chevy Chase

[debm55]

93. Great list Thank you solara

[displacedvermoter]

87. Anthony Jr. on the Sopranos

followed closely by Meadow Soprano.

[debm55]

92. Yes to both

[Brother Buzz]

88. 87 posts and no mention of Eddie Haskell?

[debm55]

91. Yes he was very annoying, Thank you for bringing him up.Brother Buzz

[displacedvermoter]

94. I guess maybe because he was supposed to

be annoying, it was his job! 😑

[Sneederbunk]

89. Steve Urkel

[TommieMommy]

96. OMG 🤔 Soupy Sales. Peewee Herman. The rest of them fell out of my head

[debm55]

109. Thank you TommieMommy.

[liberaltrucker]

97. Sheldon Cooper

No further comment needed.

[debm55]

108. Sheldon was a smart shit.

[jmowreader]

98. Any of the obnoxious boys crammed into a dying series to try to revitalize it

Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch is pretty much the archetype for this character. Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher is another example, but he was there from the beginning of the series...yeah, like you're going to let a teenager drive a starship.

[debm55]

100. Agree, Thank you jwowreader.

[The Blue Flower]

101. JJ on Good Times

He ruined what started out as a decent show.

[debm55]

107. Agree, what started out as a family show fell intoJJ constantly saying Dynomite.

[dchill]

102. EVERYBODY on The Love Boat!

Including the guest stars. And whoever sang the theme song!

[debm55]

104. yes that was a cheesy show with cheesy actors.

[choie]

103. Oh boy there's a number of them

But I’ll say John Ritter’s character and his landlord’s wife on Three’s Company.

[debm55]

106. Agree and I really disliked that show. but darn it was popular.but not with me.

[TlalocW]

115. This is really going to be esoteric...

As it was a one-off for a skit that didn't go anywhere, but on Mystery Science Theater 3000, which had a human and a robot watch and make fun of bad movies, they did a 1950s cold war, propaganda film, and during one of the skits between watching the movie, they were visiting by an atomic bomb.

[debm55]

116. yes annoying

[petronius]

117. The Saperstein twins from Parks & Rec

(Same show, runner-up prize to Andy and April's stupid role-playing characters...)

[debm55]

118. thank you petronius
