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.
#41 Ben And Michaela, Manifest

"It's so weird. I mean the acting is ok at most, the characters make dumb decisions, everything seems so straightforward without really interesting twists and I don't really like a lot of characters (pretty much the whole stone family is annoying me). And still, it hooks me much more than most other shows nowadays."

#42 Elena Gilbert, The Vampire Diaries

"The WORST! She made everything about her - Caroline said it brilliantly when she turned off her humanity: “I compelled a student to perform surgery on Stefan’s niece and you’re making this about you? Wow, you really have a gift Elena.”"

#43 Papa And Mama Bear, Berenstain Bears

"The dad is a manchild lout and the mom is a control freak stick in the mud who has done questionable stuff with her temper and has never apologized for it (like when she tried throwing everything away in her kids' messy room). Sure it's realistic for parents to sometimes lose their cool but kids should at least know that parents are still obligated to own up to bad behavior. Hell, I even give Papa bear credit that he learned and grew by the end of the stories. Somehow Mama Bear losing her temper was never ever acknowledged as wrong, and she was treated as the altruistic figure of morality."

#44 Tony Stark, Iron Man, Avengers

"I already roll my eyes at his as* existing in the first Avengers movie, and the more I hear about him it seems he literally causes major plot problems. He's an egotistical dick, and doing the big selfless act at the end of each movie doesn't override him being a sh*t person you wouldn't want to be around in reality. Not to forget him being 'only human' seems to be riddled with more plot armor and OP suits than anything that takes effort. Hot take, Bruce Banner was held back from being the smart guy because Tony couldn't stay out of the fu*king camera for more than two seconds to spout another round of Sci-Fi logic."

#45 Fez, That '70s Show

"Fez only got worse as time went on. He started off as a socially awkward kid that was happy for his little group of friends but was legitimately sad/lonely about having no romantic connection in his life. Like, I was there as a teen. I can relate to Fez wanting the happiness he sees all of his friends experiencing. But, instead of growing and learning that meeting someone is a natural consequence of maturing as a person, he went full 'incel' and became an outright creep."
"I just don’t laugh when he’s on screen. He’s creepy and perverted."

#46 Jim Halpert, The Office

"He’s the human equivalent of white bread, and he bullies people for having any personality traits beyond 'white man who likes sports.' I hate Jim."
"Jim is a specific kind of as*hole that is bland, smug, and full of himself. He’s not that bad, but at the same time, he just kind of sucks."

"I love him, but totally understandable for those who can't tolerate him."
"Goku consistently puts people and planets in mortal danger just because he wants to fight someone strong."

"She was absolute crap but everyone likes her. She’s super jealous, possessive, and just nasty to everyone. Beck should’ve just dumped her and been single tbh."

#52 Xander, Buffy

"I got like a million reasons but my biggest is him telling Buffy's little sister that Spike tried to rape Buffy. I'm sitting there watching like "so did you dumbas*". At least Spike tried to atone for it unlike Xander who lied and said he couldn't remember. And he always seemed way to interested in Buffy's love life."

"It's not just me! I wasn't surprised to see that she was universally beloved for her 'tee hee crazy girl' act but I did think more people must be deeply annoyed by her."

#54 Jake Peralta, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

"He seems lovely, but he always acts like a child and expects everyone around him to make up for it. He's the kind of guy everyone would hate working with."
"Oh, yes, I would hate him in real life. My sis introduced me to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and she really liked Jake, and I was like, 'Why?'"

#55 Ron Swanson, Parks And Recreation

"I can't stand Ron because he's a sympathetic portrayal of an obstructionist — a type of person who gets a job in government with the goal of obstructing any sort of progress and denying help their institution could lend to people who need it. The real Ron Swansons of this world are people who get off on denying funding to poor communities and communities of color while having the gall to justify it with self-serving, macho, individualist rhetoric."

#56 Malcolm, Malcolm In The Middle

"My husband and I are watching Malcolm in the Middle for the first time, neither of us watched it as kids. And it has brilliant writing and is consistently laugh-out-loud funny... But damn if Malcolm is not one of the most trash characters I've ever seen, it's brutal."
"There's an episode where he recognizes that he's an annoying know-it-all and tries to shut his mouth for a while, but it nearly kills him."

#57 Charles, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

"He was always in Jakes's business and so annoying. But when Jake got in his business regarding his adopted son, he got mad. He forced himself into Rosa's business when she was on the phone with her girlfriend before she came out as Bi!! When his dog died, he refused to do any work and tried to make Rosa feel bad for needing him to get his head in the game to work a case. I get you needing time to grieve when your dog dies. I'm just saying he should have just taken time off instead of coming to work and not doing anything. Finally, his lisp is so annoying. It's bad enough that he is this needy, irritating, unsure idiot, but he has a whole lisp!!!! I hate hearing him speak and I LOBE BROOKLYN 99!!!! Charles Boyle is the worst and needs to go!!!!!!"

#58 Walter White, Breaking Bad

"I’ve watched the show like 4-5 times through now (forcing various friends to watch it like a cultist) and on every subsequent rewatch I hated Walter more and rooted for someone else. By my last watch I was just fully team Hank, you know things are bad when you’re rooting for the war on drugs."

#60 Eddie Munson, Stranger Things

"He was introduced as a weird bully with some power trip thing over Dustin. Then, he was a dick when he was on the run and the main characters tried to help him. As a result, I didn't particularly care for the character, or care that he redeemed himself at the end."
"He's hardly a character and was only put there to become beloved and die immediately. In my opinion, there wasn't enough time to actually love him as a character since there wasn't enough time for any authentic development."
