I don't watch this by choice.....the girlfriend watches it...

Scott from Geordie shore....

Watch his left arm swinging around with every word as he vents to the camera....I wanna chop his arms off and beat him to death with the soggy bit.
I hate him and every bastid in it. Horrible people.

I watch that with the wife too, to me he's the only one who seems "real" for want of a better word. Granted he's a bit of a cock but I get the impression he knows he's essentially won the lotto and is just there for a laugh. The rest of them to me anyway seem to be playing a character, Jesus yer one Charlotte who comes out with "mad" stuff seems really scripted. The show drives me nuts but I do get the odd laugh out of Scott.

Anyway, for me there is a clear winner here, Lisa Simpson almost ruined the Simpsons back when it was good.

Shouldn't come as a surprise that she hosted Aussie Weakest Link, then.

So do you not like episodes such as "Lisa's Pony", "I Love Lisa" and "Lisa the Vegetarian", then?

There's an unlikeable character on my TV screen right now called David Cameron :pac:

Engine No.9

Seriously??? Not one vote yet for Matt Parkman off Heroes? What the fook was with that twitchy head thing?

Thundercats Ho

Lynden from The Killing
Carrie from Homeland
Gail from Coronation Street
The hypochondriac lad who was always is scrubs

and, of course, Charlo

Yamanoto

In a show jammed full of utterly unsympathetic characters, Deadwood's Cy Tolliver stood out as a particularly nasty piece of work.

Also Bouncer from Neighbours was a real tool, couldn't stand him.

Vojera

Jenny Schecter from The L Word. I know they really played on her unlikeability towards the end, but even at the start I wanted to stab her in her stupid face. Actually, a lot of the characters in that show were unlikeable.

She had to be with an evil name like 'Morag'

She was like 'Murdoc' in McGyver

I hate 'Artemis' from It's always sunny in Philidelphia. Every scene she's in just annoys me

Ralf and Florian

Elmo in Sesame Street.Any of us who watched it as kids in the 70s and 80s hate that little Johnny come lately twerp.

Has anyone said Ben from Lost yet?

If it weren't for him, though, we'd have probably never seen the Hydra orientation video.

Valeen from Knot's Landing. Urgh. Pointless woman. There from the start and became obsolete as other female characters came to the fore. Nobody missed her after she left.

ps3man

The girlfriends in The Big Bang Theory. Ruined what was at best a watchable show.

Everyone in the Simpsons past season 10. Watched a season 26 episode the other night, enough to undo all the amazing work of the first few seasons it was that bad.

LiamHam82

Bernadette in Big Bang Theory, horribly forced character, everything about her is irritating

Ross in Friends, probably my most hated TV character ever, not so bad in the first few seasons but jesus he overacted big time in every episode after.

The entire cast of Shortland Street, Home & Away, Fair City & Neighbours

Portia De Rossi in Ally McBeal, one of the reasons why the show got old really fast after the first two very good seasons.

Peter in Family Guy, well probably the show in general, some jokes were dragged out to the point I just changed channel.

foxy farmer

All the characters in Fair City.
All the characters in NCIS. Especially Gibbs and the science tech lab wan.
Horatio in CSI
Rihannas character in Battleship.
David Brent in the Office.

Oh thank God, it's not just me that hated him!!!!!

I love Friends but absolutely hated Ross. He was so self absorbed!!!

Ridley

I found Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Recreation incredibly irritating (that's the character but the personality sucked my enjoyment out of the show until he went away). Still, he did this:

So he has one redeeming quality.

Caught an episode of Gilmore Girls at workplace once and everyone was replying to each other in sarcastic quips which made a show I had no interest in even more toxic.

From Roddy Doyles Family?At least he was supposed to be unlikeable.I found the son in that to be a right cheeky,bullying little pr!ck.My favourite moment in the whole series was when the teacher gave him a dig in response to some lip.

King Louis from The Musketeers. . He is so stupid it's unreal and bad acting

alroley

Ted from How I Met Your Mother
Ross from Friends

How can you hate Alf and Lou? :eek:

Ryan Tubridy from The Late Late Show.....

madmaggie

When I was a kid, watching that crappy show Hart to Hart, I always wanted the the main characters to get bumped off. So smug and smarmy.

JP Liz V1

As seasons have gone on, I got to say Olivia Pope from Scandal

GerB40

Well there's the obvious ones like Joffrey (Game of Thrones) Skylar (Breaking Bad) AJ (The little shíthead from The Sopranos) but for me the least likeable character in any TV show is Ziggy from season 2 of The Wire. He has literally no redeeming qualities in my opinion. He was obviously put there for comic effect and eventually became a plot device which, in the grand scheme of things, was pretty irrelevant for the show. A rare misstep from the makers of The Wire if you ask me..

Yea Ted and Ross are pretty much the same person - self obsessed. Wondered why I disliked the character - so clear now.

Norris from Corry too - grumpy old men don't do it for me!!

Yeah everyone hated Ziggy.Staying with The Wire Maurice Levy The lawyer for the gangs had to be one of the most repellent characters on TV ever.He just made my skin crawl every time he appeared.Saul from Breaking Bad has obvious parralels but at least he has some redeeming features.

smilerf

OK this one many won't agree on but Abbey and Luka from Er.
Two very self absorbed and not nice people

I liked Levy. He was just as scummy and unscrupulous as the gangsters he represented and as Omar said to him, "I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase. It's all in the game". He was certainly a bad guy, but a good character in my opinion.

harry Bailey esq

Jo from fair city and Ian beale from eastenders.Jo because of the voice and beale because he's an all round w@nker

Harvey, is that not our beloved Inda?:D

Jeez, the mention of that catchphrase from Hart to Hart wants to make me tear out my hair.

More boo-licks from Hyacinth Buck-kay. Talk about a gag being flogged to death.

Seen Carmella Soprano mentioned a few times..... Can only guess but shouldnt that be Livia, Tony's mom?
She wins it for me in any case.

Started watching Extras again on boxset.How could I have forgotten Greg?One of the most punchable tv characters ever.And its compounded by his physical resemblence to Ian O Doherty of the Indo,same greasy lank black hair and chubby leering face.

maudgonner

Maggie Jordan from The Newsroom. Whiny, annoying and shrill, yet everybody loved her and thought she could do no wrong. (OK I felt bad for her after the trip to Africa, but before long she was back to her usual irritating self).

MacKenzie McHale (she of the stupid name) wasn't much better. But Maggie just edges it on the annoying scale, I think.

Kiith

Kim from 24. How has there been 10 pages without her getting mentioned.

I don't like Ralph in The Simpsons. I find his simpleness so irritating.

I refuse to accept, though, that Ralph is stupid because his father dropped him on his head as a baby. It's not much better than the revelation that Frank Grimes had a son with a hooker, IMHO.

Except that Val and Gary were the whole point of Knots Landing. Miss Ellie bought them the house when they decided to move away from Dallas
