Eric Balfour’s character of Gabriel in Six Feet Under pissed me off so much, I wanted to walk into the TV and beat the suburban gangsta-thug wannabe mustache off his damn fool face. All the women on Sex In the City (not that I watch it) and Sherrie Palmer from 24 make me incredibly angry in similar ways. I wouldn’t want to beat them up, but they are all vile, noxious, shallow, evil bitches. I don’t find anything redeeming about any of them. ---

It depends if you mean truly repulsive, or just obnoxious. Jason Alexander is extremely obnoxious and completely wrecks anything he has anything to do with, but I wouldn’t call him repulsive. ---

I can’t stand Peggy Hill on _King of the Hill_. While most of the other characters are sympathetic to some degree, she is the only one that is completely unlikeable. I keep hoping that she’ll die horribly (the parachuting episode briefly gave me hope) so I can enjoy the show without worrying that she’ll appear in the next scene. ---

Jack on “Will & Grace.” It’s not surprising that the religious right have never expressed much bile over the gay characters on this show: one gay character, Will, is effectively a eunoch; and the other, Jack, is a shallow, mincing, egotistical, arrested-adolescent dipshit who mooches off a rich bitch who refers to him as her poodle, and chases every guy who wanders onscreen. Will and Jack are to gay people what Amos & Andy were to black people. ---

The evil sex-pit Nazi boys from Pulp Fiction were pretty fucking repulsive. And way scary. Guys like that freak me out. ---

I know it’s a comedy, but the Brent & Finchy double-act in the pub quiz episode of _The Office_ just made me cringe. ---

“Squeal like a pig.” That whole scene gave me nightmares. I still can’t watch the movie. I second the “Sex in The City” women. Can’t watch it. Ray Romano. The inexplicably popular guy who plays “Ed”. Adam Sandler (although “Punchdrunk Love” was interesting). Mike Meyers David Spade ---

I find Juliette Lewis’s character in the 1991 version of _Cape Fear_ particularly cloying. And for pure creepiness, Willem Defoe’s character in _Wild at Heart_ is tough to beat. ---

The Vietnamese betting on the outcome of ‘the game’ between the POW’s in the Deer Hunter were kinda repuslive. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kalhoun \* > \*\*The evil sex-pit Nazi boys from Pulp Fiction were pretty fucking repulsive. And way scary. Guys like that freak me out. \*\* I’m glad I saw that movie and I’ll never watch it again. I think my husband needs to see it to cure his cultural defecit, but I don’t want to watch it with him or even be in the house while it’s on. And ever since I was a kid, I can’t bear to look at thet Abominable Snowman from Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer. I don’t care if Bumbles bounce, Yukon Corneilius, that thing is evil walking and can’t ever be trusted, not even with his teeth pulled by an elf! ---

I don’t care if Bumbles bounce, Yukon Corneilius, that thing is evil walking and can’t ever be trusted, not even with his teeth pulled by an elf! \*\* I just had to butt in here to say that is probably one of the top five funniest paragraphs I have ever read on these boards. And true too! (Although I adore Bumbles, and have a stuffed one that I put out at Christmas…) I guess so as not to hijack completely, I’d say the most repulsive characters I’ve ever had the misfortune to watch were Ren and Stimpy. I freakin’ HATED that cartoon…it physically made me sick to watch, which I only did maybe twice, and then only for about three seconds each time. (My oldest son loved that show…and I would change the channel if I was going to stay in the room.) God, just thinking about those horrors makes my teeth clench. I was absolutely happy-dancing when they finally quit airing it. ---

OK, Ralphie and Janice, I really did hate those two. Let me just say that what happens to him is just so sickly satisfying. There is justice in the world. I agree with Sylkyn **Sylkyn** , Ren and Stimpy are indeed two of the grossest characters ever created, with the exception of Beavis and Butthead. But if we are talking about loathing characters, you really have to watch the FX series Nip/Tuck. I have never been so conflicted over television characters before. One episode you just wanted to scream at them, “No! What are you friggin idiots doing!” The next episode, you feel so bad for them, you just want to hug them. So…torn…agh! ---

Howerd Stern. I refuse to allow my TV to be a conduit for the diseased barfings of this slimy grotesque little troll and his entourage of semi-sentient goons and hangers-on from the fetid underbelly of polite society. ---
