Worst TV Sitcom Characters Of All Time
Recently, redditor Final_Target_4274 wanted to know about the divisive sitcom characters when they asked: "Who is the worst sitcom character of all time?"
Well, people had OPINIONS! Below are the top and most often repeated sitcom characters that people just can not stand:
"Urkel on Family Matters. Dude was annoying, yet became popular, and then took over the whole fucking show. Kimmy Gibbler was similarly annoying, but never became the focal point."
—Efficient-Hornet8666
"Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. Her neediness was only surpassed by her inability to take a hint. Her awkwardness made me feel second-hand embarrassment."
—MerriweatherJones
"Rachel Green on Friends. She is a real bitch and is actually one of the worst characters in any TV show."
—LordCoke-16"Rachel is actually the most appalling. She is such a difficult character to like. Any person who likes to portray her as a victim, I immediately think less of."—Odd_Firefighter_8193
"Whoever Idris Elba was on The Office."
—Marshiznit"Charles Miner and he's aware of the effect he has on women."—Vikingaling
"Beverly Hofstadter on The Big Bang Theory must enter this chat. NOTE: I adore the actress, and I think the character is brilliant. But Beverly is objectively awful across every category. Truly nailed it."
—SkatingNerd4Life
"Seven on Married... with Children."
—VStarlingBooks"Unwatchable episodes!"—mayfare15
"I don't know if it counts, but I dislike Gene Belcher of Bob's Burgers. I dunno what rubs me wrong, maybe just the general grossness of his jokes? Or his personality. He's the weakest link."
—nazieatmyass
"Randy on Season 8 of That '70s Show. and it's not even close."
—Flat-Artichoke4289"Randy is totally inoffensive. He's a lightning rod for hate because of the circumstances of his arrival. A shame it really put the brakes on Josh Meyers' career because I thought he was great on MadTV."—Luchalma89
"Jim from According to Jim."
—FrequentLunch2711"Today, I coincidentally looked up how long this terrible show was on, and it somehow was on for eight seasons. I've never found Jim Belushi to be funny at any point in his career, including this garbage show."—PHX480
"I really liked Cheers, but I couldn't bear Diane. An awful character that I felt was really badly portrayed. I understand that many people loved her, which baffles me! Maybe her character didn't 'travel' outside the USA!"
—Automatic-Scale-7572
"Nellie from The Office."
—johndhall1130"Nellie was annoying because of the storyline. It was frustrating that she just claimed Andy's job, just because he had one day off to sort out things with Erin. That's not how jobs work."—Sean_13
"Frank Grimes from The Simpsons."
—Plane-Tie6392"Good ole Grimey…"—Madduxfan31-97
"Doug Heffernan on King of Queens. He acts like a perpetual teenager. He expects Carrie to do everything around the house despite having a demanding job of her own."
—rachel_ct
"Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory. Her character changes from one episode to another. She does a 180 within the same episode. Strong personality traits yet completely undefined as a character."
—blackrain1709
"Principal Belding on Saved by the Bell. He was obsessed with Zack and even followed him from elementary school to high school."
—szatrob
"Phoebe was the worst character on Friends. I enjoy Lisa Kudrow outside of that role. Just hate Phoebe as a character. She was a terrible friend; she almost cost all of them their jobs."
—Mr-Mortgages
"Raymond on Everybody Loves Raymond."
—Noshitsweregiven69"Fucking Ray Barone. I remember seeing a few odd episodes growing up and laughing... tried to watch from the beginning as an adult a couple of years back and that show was fucking garbage. Like, I could not even get through the first season, but it did make a lot of people's careers, so there's that, I guess."—Global_Intern_9248
"The neighbor/ carpenter guy on Schitt's Creek. I can't stand him."
—SurrrenderDorothy
"Gina Linetti on Brooklyn Nine-Nine is just an awful person who the rest of the cast gaslit the audience into thinking was awesome."
—JustSomeBloke5353
"The wife, Jill, from Home Improvement. She just lacked any kind of joy and was a vortex in the home that would suck up any happiness her sons or husband brought."
—Scambuster666
"Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory."
—Away_Ad_5390"THANK YOU! What an obnoxious character — and completely unrealistic that he would have any friends at all given the way he treated literally everyone who knew him like total crap."—phm522
"Tom Haverford on Parks and Rec. The character, to me, was just a bad person who had no redeeming qualities."
—skipper_jonas_grumby
"I'm sure this is unpopular, but Michael Scott. I can't fucking stand him, and every time I try to watch the show, I give up after half a season. Still haven't made it past season 5, and I don't plan to ever finish it."
—Goldfishyyy

‘King of the Hill' co-creator says Hollywood often treats southerners ‘as a sort of caricature'
During an interview with Texas Monthly on Monday, "King of the Hill" co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels explained how they aimed to portray their Southern characters with 'dignity,' rather than relying on the typical caricature of Southern Americans. Judge, who grew up in New Mexico, right next door to Texas, explained how he and Daniels wished to break from the stereotypical portrayal of Southerners when they created "King of the Hill" back in 1997. "From the beginning, Greg and I wanted to like these characters. We're on their side. A lot of Hollywood treats anyone with a Southern accent as a sort of caricature. We were real conscious of treating these characters with dignity," he told the outlet. Daniels noted that people tend to feel "seen" when creators actually do their research on the group of people they are portraying in their shows, and accurately depict the subtle nuances of their lives. When Daniels began his work on another hit television show, "The Office," he was met with skepticism from the people of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where the show is based, fearing that the show would simply make fun of the blue-collar city and its residents. "People feel seen when you've done the research. I took that spirit into The Office," he noted. "The people of Scranton were worried in the beginning, because they were used to being made fun of. And I was like, 'No, I'm coming off of King of the Hill. We try to do stories that get it right.'" Saladin K. Patterson, the showrunner for the upcoming "King of the Hill" revival, recalled an interview with a voice actor from Singapore — who was also a huge fan of the show — and shared his thoughts on the creators' portrayal of Southerners. "We were interviewing a voice actor who grew up in Singapore and was a big fan of 'King of the Hill,' and he said it was one of the few American shows that the Singapore government would let them watch," he explained. "We asked him, 'Did that give you a particular view of Southern America?' And he was like, 'We didn't know they were Southern. We just thought they were American.' To people outside of the country, King of the Hill actually represents America." With many of the TV shows in the late 90s and early 2000s casting fathers as clueless and out of the loop, the "King of the Hill" creators decided to take their TV dad, Hank Hill, in a different direction. "Certainly when we were doing it, every TV dad was the fat dummy. And we were like, 'Let's jump back to 'Father Knows Best,'" Daniels recalled. This philosophy wasn't just applied to the show's father figure, it was also applied to the show's mother, Peggy Hill, according to Judge. "It seemed a little rebellious, and then when [voice actor Kathy Najimy] started playing Peggy in a certain way, it became fun to have her be wrong sometimes, and go a little crazy," he said. "King of the Hill" ran from 1997 to 2010 and is being revived with a new season in August.
