That kid who played “Seven” on Married…with Children. The show got so much hate mail, he eventually walked upstairs and disappeared Chuck Cunningham-style. Later his face showed up on a milk carton.
Currently, it’s the oldest boy on Blackish. Although he’s supposed to be annoying.
Classic: the kid Tony and Angela took in on Who’s the Boss after the original kids got too old.
Piper on Nickolodeon’s Henry Danger. Granted, this girl is supposed to be a brat, but her behavior is way beyond annoying. 95% of her lines are screamed at the top of her lungs. I can only imagine the poor actress will sound like Brenda Vaccarro by the time she’s twelve from all the yelling.
I thought of banning my daughter from watching the show, but as long as she doesn’t start acting like this kid, I’ll grit my teeth and bear it.
The Flanders twins. Ralph Wiggum.
All the kids on Modern Family, the entire show has become extremely insufferable, but the kids are the worst:
Manny-Sick of the whole old soul bit, what kid dresses like Sinatra and drinks espresso with his pinky up in the air? In real life, he’d get his ass kicked round the clock.
Luke- Used to be a sorta cute clueless kid, now he’s written like some sort of mentally challenged goon.
Alex- Same thing, used to be a sweet and cute kid, now the writers have her tossing out unfunny,snotty,pseudo intellectually “clever” one liners.
Haley- not really technically a “kid” , but still written as a moronic B-word on wheels.
Lily- Every time the writers give her what is supposed to be a clever or funny line, it falls flat. Sounds exactly like a kid delivering a line written by some 40 year old guy.
Henry on Once Upon A Time. I think it was mostly because he started off as a horrible actor. You would have thought they figured that out before they started. He seems to be better now but still annoying.
He was funny in his appearance on the Cosby Show, where he was a guest at some party one of the Huxtables was having.
I swear I already replied to this thread…
Anyway, Max on Parenthood. There were few episodes that I didn’t hope someone would punch him in the face.
The pouty son on Tyrant. God, with all the killing on that show, why does he have to survive?
Remember My Three Sons? How could you forget the horror that was Dodie?
From more recent times, Ariana Grande played a character named Cat on a couple of Nickolodeon shows. Her idea of acting was to speak in a high-pitched whining monotone. I would only let my daughter watch it on mute.
As for Cosby Kids, the ONLY one I liked was the oldest daughter (Sandra, I think) who was basically invisible in the series, like Chuck/Frank in Happy Days.

Sandra is kinda the inverse of Chuck. Chuck was only in the first season, and then disappeared, never to be mentioned again, while Sandra was completely absent in the first season, and suddenly showed up. I seem to remember a first season episode where Claire and Cliff were discussing how they have 4 kids, but I guess they could have just been talking about the ones still living at home.
Claire: Why did we have four children?
Cliff: Because we did not want five.
I don’t like the little girl from Blackish.
Kids are never portrayed realistically on tv. They always act like adults.
I had forgotten about her. I hope I do again. What a worthless character.
That was the pilot, and many details of that episode (like with many pilots) do not jibe with the later episodes, most notably they lived in a different house, Cliff’s full name was shown as Clifford rather than Heathcliff on his plaque outside his office, and Vanessa kept calling Theo “Teddy”.
She WAS added in season 1, btw.
He wasn’t nearly as annoying as his mother was in regards to him. There were time I hoped someone would punch her in the face over how indignant she’d get that people wouldn’t stop trying to take care of all the kids needs and focus everything on Max. He’s clearly more important, he has assburgers!
Gilbert on Leave It To Beaver. I picture him grown up working middle management in whatever evil empire Eddie Haskell has going.
You’re dead to me.
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Caillou, from the show of the same name.
Awful, whiny voice with behavior to match.
And inexplicably popular with my kids.
