Uriah Heep.
Ditto the Sex in the City girls - can’t stand them either. What a bunch of self-obsessed bitches!
Xander in Buffy
Neelix in Voyager
One for the Brits - Les Battersby in Coronation Street.
Warren from Buffy. It’s ironic that the most despised Big Bad on that show also has one of the lowest body counts (IIRC, he’s only killed two people).
The actor, Adam Busch, tours with a really cool indy band (whose name escapes me at the moment).
You hate Xander?
Warren I get, but Xander? Do you also kick puppies? What’s to hate?
I’ll forgive Becky quite a lot when she’s played by Sarah Chalke!
A lot of people hate Xander, specifically for this bit of dialogue:
“Willow says…kick his ass.”
Okay, if you’re not as obsessive about Buffy as I am, Willow sends Xander off to Buffy to tell her she’s going to attempt to resoul Angel in the season 2 finale Becoming. Only, Xander doesn’t deliver the message. Of course, IMO, Buffy wouldn’t have fought as hard as she did. She was completely resigned to the fact that her boyfriend wasn’t coming back by this point, which enabled her to to what was necessary.
Still, there are people pissed off about this.
Just about every character in ER except for the one armed doctor who is supposed to be a rotten jerk.
I can’t stand any of the other characters because they all lack the stones to kill him.
Professor Dolores Umbridge, the supremely nasty bureaucrat from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Revulsion describes my reaction perfectly. She’s utterly horrifying, in a way that most fictional bad-guys are not, in that she’s quite real.
Almost all the characters on Seinfeld. I could never enjoy the show because I couldn’t stand the characters.
Just chiming in here as someone else who is frequently bugged by Xander. I don’t hate him, but I can see where Sparrow is coming from.
Seriously-I hope that is your idea of a joke. Atticus stood for everything that was good, and he did his best to teach those values to Scout, not by words, but by actions.
Seriously. In fact, he was voted as the Best Movie Hero of all time by the AFI about a year ago, something I don’t disagree with. 
Well, I suppose I don’t HATE him. But he’s so dumb, he’s pathetic! I can’t see the point of him at all.
Had to throw in one more.
Tom Cruise’s character in “a Few Good Men”
It was the courtroom scene where he faced down Jack Nicholson.
It was at that moment comparing his performance to Jack’s that I realized Tom lacked acting skills.
I can’t watch him in any part of that movie without outright laughter.
I’ve since limited my Tom Cruise exposure to action flicks and SF movies.
Danny DeVito as The Penguin in Batman: Whichever. Ecch. I was nauseated.
I might be missing something but what are you referring to?
Double ecch. Christ, I’d forgotten about that horror until I read this. My stomach just…clenched. Totally vile character.
And Lobsang, you and my son would get along just fine.
Well, Dolores Umbridge was the first person who came to mind when I read the thread title, but since she’s already been mentioned, I’ll throw in Mr. Brocklehurst from Jane Eyre, the smug, self-righteous, child-abusing little hypocrite. Urgh.
I hate to admit it, but I watch “Days of Our Lives”.
I really hate the following characters and hope they will soon be victims of the Salem serial killer:
-
Roman Brady-- TV Guide says he’s marked for death by year’s end. I hope they’re right. What a douche-bag!!! The actor who plays him is obviously a "wall reader"who has the personality of cardboard.
-
BOTH Sean Bradys. Can’t stand either the old fart who keeps forgetting his phony Irish accent or the hotheaded, self-righteous grandson.
Kent Smith’s “Oliver Reed” in Curse of the Cat People.
A little obscure, sure. But I’d still like to give that sanctimonious asshole a few good kicks in the teeth. :mad:
