I’m with you about Tashi Station and the power converters (the whine of which would and has come out of the mouths of every single teenager asked to do something by his parental units) but what else?
Pamela Ewing on Dallas.
Marcy Rhodes D’Arcy on Married w/ Children
Darrin Stevens on Bewitched
Rebecca Howe on Cheers
In fairness, the symptoms of diverticulitis are really annoying.
Fighting the remote, until he actually was able to employ the force.
Harry Potter.
YES and YES. I have specifically avoided dating Ted and JD types. I might want a romantic fella but not if it comes with all that whining too.
And Luke was really whiny on Dagobah too when he wanted to see Yoda
I give him a pass because we see his maturation by the end
Scott Sommers, aka Cyclops of the X-Men.
Wah ‘‘My eyes! My cursed eyes!’’
Wah ‘‘O, this burden of responsibility!’’
Wah ‘‘I was an orphan!’’
He acts like he corners the market on mutant suffering. I mean, Rogue can’t even touch people and she complains less than he does.
Walter White Jr on Breaking Bad.
Not because of his speech impediment, but because the character is a whiny, self absorbed, narcissistic man-child.
He offers little to the plot development and hurts an otherwise excellent show.
He could be the target of a hit, and I would cheer.
Every couple on property brothers.
He’s in high school.
My husband and I used to joke about how his parents secretly despised him.
Sara on CSI. I could watch the gross out shots without batting an eye but her non-stop complaining drove me off.
In one episode she whined that her high-profile case was getting all the attention while a simpler case was overlooked (still manned, processed and closed-just not well enough for her). A few episodes later she got assigned a low-priority case and spent the whole time whining that she was missing out on the more important murder across town.
I stopped watching Everybody Loves Raymond because I couldn’t stand that horrible wife of his.
I’ve always hated that dick.* Endora was entirely justified.
- Both of them.
Dr Zachary Smith
I win.
But they have a reservaaaation!
I found myself comparing Katniss Everdeen of The Hunger Games to Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Without spoiling too much from either story, I’d like to say that if the future of human civilization rests on your shoulders, you’d better find a way to make them capable instead of curling into a fetal position and wishing you were somewhere else!
Once, when my son was pleading to do something before he’d done his homework, I did an over-the-top whine: *“But, Uncle Owwwwen, I wanted to go into Toshi Staaaation…” *The rest of the neighbor kids cracked up, and my daughter did the cutest “grownup guy” voice: “You can waste time with your friends when you finish your homework… Luke.”
Shut up, Shinji!
I’ll have to nominate the Doctor’s first few female companions:
His Granddaughter (???) Susan, Vicki, Jo Grant and even Sarah Jane Smith. Before they decided it was the 70’s and they needed a strong female (Leela), all of the companions were pretty damn whiney! lots of irrational screaming and complaining…
