People Are Revealing The Most Unlikeable Main Characters In A TV Show, And Here Are 30 Of Them

by Maryjane

Even though you enjoy watching them, the best television series can have extremely unlikeable characters. It seems inevitable that you'll love to hate at least one fictitious character in your favorite program, given the surge in the audience's fixation with anti-heroes.

However, characters can occasionally end up becoming offensive in ways that the writers undoubtedly did not intend. Typically, we enjoy watching television series and movies with strong leads.

A lovable underdog who defies all obstacles to save the world, or a comically clumsy hero who accomplishes amazing tasks with the help of their charisma and humor. Many of us can't help but want a happy ending, and we occasionally don't understand the point of spending hours watching a show where the main character is someone we despise.

However, irritating characters continue to exist and appear in some of the most watched television programs ever. When Reddit member u/Competitive_Owl7085 posed the question of which TV show characters were the most likeable, it immediately ignited a discussion.

In this Askreddit discussion, people were clearly debating which characters they felt to be unlikeable, and they aired their thoughts in the comments. We've compiled a list of some of the most annoying characters that viewers have pointed out below.

Here are some of the replies from Redditors...

1. "Dr. Phill"

1. Reddit

2. "Jerry on Tom and Jerry."

2. Reddit

3. "Carrie Bradshaw"

Unbelievably entitled, shallow, spoiled and treated all of her friends like s**t. I don’t enjoy the show for what it is, it’s my favourite hate-watch just to see the new depths Carrie will sink to every episode.Especially heinous was when she got herself into debt by tanking her relationship with the guy who bought and was renovating her apartment and turned down money offered by two of her best friends just so she could b***h out the one that didn’t offer. And for some reason that friend ended up giving her the money.And she tried to cheat on her husband with a guy that she had previously cheated on.And she replaced her old friend with a younger more diverse version when they fell out.3. Reddit

4. "Ross from Friends. I hate him so much. And, he doesn’t even eat the smaller friends to assert dominance, which makes him suck twice as much."

How many ‘dead’ sisters can one b***h have?And her saying ‘I’m a widow so I’ll just have to accept that I have had all the orgasms I ever will’ set feminism back like 5000 years.8. Reddit

9. "Piper Chapman on Orange is the New Black."
