Cersei Lannister & Petyr Baelish. Pretty much 90% of Westeros’s tragedies has one or the other to blame.
I have not like Jane Krakowski in any role I’ve ever seen her in. Ever.
Lumpy Rutherford.
Lucy Ricardo.
Everybody’s mother in sitcoms – Seinfeld, Rosanne, all of them.
Hey if we’re going with McMurphy why stop there. Nurse Ratched should have been on Bromden’s list of people to smother.
Hear hear! And if the OP isn’t limiting us to TV, for those who read Luann (comic) I’d nominate Shannon, the brat.
And from Big Bang Theory - Priya
Except for the Bundy kids.
Maggie Dubois in The Great Race.
Agreed.
Tabitha Stevens (after she turned about two years old)
Nellie Olsen’s brother Willie (not Nellie herself though)
Wesley from Mr. Belvedere
Doogie Howser’s best friend (can’t remember the character’s name but his real name was Max Casilla or something like that I think)
Upon reading the book, did you exclaim, “Who is responsible for this abortion?”
Ignatius is a horrible person. But I thought that book was fucking hilarious. I don’t think it’s great literature, and I’m not sure it should be taught in schools necessarily. But for whatever reason, it made me laugh till my sides hurt.
Seven deserves at least 7 pillows.
Rebecca Howe - Cheers
Pamela Ewing - Dallas
Dana Scully - X-Files
Bobby Brady - Brady Bunch
Corabeth Godsey - The Waltons
The TV Dennis the Menace
Ross Lane from “Patty Duke”
The second Gladys Kravitz (the first one seemed more confused than mean spirited).
And from the international section: Margo Leadbetter from “The Good Life” and Hyacinth Bucket from “Keeping Up Appearances”–though I don’t think anything short of a bazooka would finish her off.
Hmm. I guess I am the first to offer Holden Caulfield from Cather in the Rye.
There’s a fine line between an empathetic portrayal of a young person struggling with their place in the world, and really being a whiny twit. I struggle with Kurt Cobain’s persona as simplified in the media in the same way. We get it, you suffered and felt so powerless that your word-salad lyrics captured your pain in ways we could all understand. Now what?
Arnold Rimmer, total smeghead.
Pretty much any Danny DeVito character.
And you wouldn’t even need a large pillow.
I’ll give you Hyacinth, definitely, but I’m not sure about Margo. She was a social climber and had a bit of a stick up her arse, but when the chips were down she did care about Jerry and the Goods and came through when needed.
Adric from Doctor Who.
Maiev Shadowsong from the (World of) Warcraft franchise. She’s not ENTIRELY wrong, but she’s so fanatical, bitchy and imperious about being right that she just makes me want to strangle her.
And Clara, the most Mary Sue-est of Mary Sues.
Robin from How I Met Your Mother. With her dead, maybe the mother would live.
