Characters can either be a hit or a miss with the watcher. The plot might be interesting, but the movie or TV show character is the one who tells the story to us. Either in a movie theater or your living room, we watch movies and series for the beloved characters in them. However, others might see these characters in a much different light than we do. In movies and TV shows, an annoying character can emerge for many reasons.
A fictional character is not always guaranteed to please every fan. It either clicks with the watcher or misses the mark by a mile. For movie characters, first impressions are everything. If you make a wild card type of character, he might come off as a bit annoying to the calmer fans. And you can't be sure that two hours will be enough to turn the character around in the minds of annoyed fans.
On the other hand, TV show characters can be annoying for multiple reasons. If a series has several seasons, a fan-favorite character might become stale — if a series takes a heavier story turn, a beloved character can become an annoying one. The presented situation is what dictates the flow of a character. A character that fits into the fictional world is a character that can capture the watching hearts.
With so many opinions floating around the world, it is hard to distinguish the honest ones from the more trolling ones. Luckily, someone on AskReddit has asked a question we all wanted to ask — Who's the character everyone loves but is actually annoying? An important question that reveals just how many annoying characters we tend to like. In the list below, upvote the characters that you think are annoying too. Also, comment below if you think the Redditor is wrong about the given opinion.
#21 Lisa Simpson, Simpsons

"In the early seasons she is tolerable because for the most part she is a supporting character. When I stopped watching, she had become the main character with Homer and Bart becoming side characters. Her voice is nails on a chalkboard. She butts in when not asked. Assumes to be the moral authority in town making her worse than Ned Flanders. Turned down Burns' money when she helped him rebuild his empire. Ruined Homer on several occasions (Stonecutters episode for example). Is absolutely no fun to be around. Completely unrelatable. Thinks that she is better than everyone else. Vegetarian."

#22 Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

"She's sulky, self-absorbed, and petulantly self-righteous. I don't think I've ever hated a character more."
"The original 'pick me.'"

#24 Alex, Modern Family

"Her character’s personality didn’t add any entertainment to the show. She was a smart pretentious bully with no witty lines. Just cringy/unoriginal insults and no growth. Such a waste of potential for the show. I wonder if she pissed off the writers at some point."

#25 Jess Day, New Girl

"Someone told me I reminded them of her. I watched two episodes, had an existential crisis, and vowed to not be an insufferable nitwit. They said they meant it as a compliment because they loved her. It was devastating to my self-esteem."
"I hate that Jess fought to be with Sam (the hot pediatrician) only to get with Nick a few episodes later. I stopped watching after that."

#26 Mike Wheeler, Stranger Things

"He's a selfish, self-centered as*hole who thinks he's the only one who has problems, and he lashes out at all his friends whenever he's mildly inconvenienced. Will laughably calls him the 'heart of the group' in Season 4."
"Mike annoys the sh*t out of me. I think El would be more likable without Mike’s irritating presence. Just make them friends. Their relationship icks me out."

#27 Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls

"I love the show, but she can be so annoying. I don't like the way she treats her parents or the way she jumps from man to man. She coddles her daughter so much in high school and in college that in the revival, she's a 30-year-old with no job or purpose in life. Everyone thinks the mother/daughter duo is so cute, but it’s annoying because she really held her daughter back from growing up, facing failures head-on, and adulting!"

#30 Roger, American Dad

"He's great in small doses, like in the early seasons, but they started overusing him and he just become obnoxious. I hated it when one of the other family members would go to see someone else and of course, it would be Roger in a disguise. Funny as the occasional gag, less so every single time."

#31 Ron Weasly, From Harry Potter

"Book Ron was better. The assorted directors of the films just decided they needed "comic relief" so they decided to direct the actor that way. Kind of a lazy way out, if you ask me. "What does this scene need? Oh, I know! A goofy character!""

#32 Janice, Friends

#34 Deadpool, Deadpool

"Right on! Is he hilarious? Yes! But that's because he's in a movie and comic books and we don't actually have to deal with him in real life. Imagine having this guy as a family member or part of a friends circle. He would be infuriating and everything would be a constant "all about me" crap show."

#35 Minions, Minions

"I need to read some kind of scientific study on how they became so ubiquitous in sh*tty boomer memes about wine time Fridays or how kids don't respect their elders anymore."
"My theory is that Minions appeal to boomers because boomers think of themselves as sort of a bunch of kooky hellraisers, but they also value conformity, so there's nothing too vulgar or subversive about them. Minions have the exact kind of PG-rated raunchy humor grandparents love."

#36 Harley Quinn, Suicide Squad

"Maybe it was the fact that she was an animated character that made the surreality of the character so wonderful (though to be fair, Elvira did just fine and she was real-life). But the movie version has never appealed to me."

#38 Serena Van Der Woodsen, Gossip Girl

"She's supposed to be an example of 'rich, pretty girls have problems, too!' but I disliked her more every time they tried to make her relatable. She could've actually done well in life, but she did nothing with all her money or her status as the 'it' girl. She could've gotten involved in a nonprofit (she probably would've been phenomenal with fundraising), but she had no idea how to do anything that wasn't handed to her and was unwilling to learn. I could even see her killing it as an influencer or a personal stylist, but she stayed in her toxic 'woe is me' rut because she needed to be the center at all times."
"She always jumped to the wrong conclusions, never learned from past mistakes, and acted like a spoiled princess whenever she wanted something. She didn't let people say no to her requests; they had to say yes to her every demand. I’m rewatching Gossip Girl at the moment, and I'm honestly finding it hard to like her now that I’m 10 years older."

#40 Frank Gallagher, Shameless

"While not everyone loves him, enough used to find him relatable that they'd forget the guy is a selfish, self-righteous, xenophobic, vengeful fu*khead and would always act like he was such a cool "bro" character."
