We all have those TV characters we absolutely love! For example, I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't absolutely love Sophia, Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose on The Golden Girls. But just as memorable are the ones who drive us completely up the wall. Whether they're annoying sidekicks, overly dramatic main characters, or just plain unlikeable, some sitcom figures manage to be very, very divisive.
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."
