For me, it’s Claire Huxtable. She is so damn smug. Just the way that she speaks makes me want to scream. What character/s annoy you and why? ---

Pretty much all of them. Except the characters in Made In Canada who are not Victor. They’re okay. ---

Grace in Grace Under Fire. I want to kick her ass. ---

I used to really like Monica on Friends, but the character has changed so much over the years that now I can’t stand her. She’s strident, annoying and has that awful stringy hair. She’s become as annoying as her whiny-ass brother. ---

I hate the entire cast of “Everybody Loves Raymond” except for Robert, and maybe the adorable kids. ---

Ross from Friends is definitely the most annoying sitcom character ever. ---

George Costanza. I have never liked the nebbish/ loser charac-ter. It grates on my nerves. ---

Michael and Stephanie (his wife… I’m not sure that’s her name) on _Newhart_ are the epitome of annoying. ---

I actually like the interplay between Ray and Debbie on _Everyone Loves Raymond_, but I detest both of his parents’ characters so much that I have to change the channel anytime either is on. A pity, as both Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle are very talented actors and have played many fine roles. I have much the same reaction to the character of Kramer on _Seinfeld_, except that Michael Richards has about as much acting talent as your average rock… ---

Anyone from the cast of _Friends_. _Anyone_. Charlene and Mary Jo from _Designing Women_. ---

Diane _and_ Rebecca on “Cheers.” ---

The first ones who sprung to mind upon seeing the thread title were Urkel and Michelle from Full House. How I _loathed_ that monkey-faced tot and her horrifically lame quips–“you got it, dude!” etc–which never failed to elicit a chorus of “AAAWWWs” from the equally lame studio audience. Characters whose entire “schtick” revolves around a catch-phrase of any kind tend to wear very, very quickly on my nerves. A list of characters who _don’t_ annoy me would probably be shorter, now that I think about it. ---

Props, **noddygrrl** for reminding me of what may have been the most irritating, smug, self-righteous piece of crap show EVER. (Wait…should I give you props for that? ;)) Fuck Full House. I hated that show with a passion. ---

I always hated Marcy from Married With Children. I would have missed the insults that Al gave her… but that’s about it. Diane from Cheers drove me crazy. There isn’t anything I would have missed about her. And d\_redguy is right. ---

All of Seinfeld. The supporting cast of Will and Grace. Heck, I could be here all day, come to think of it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sitcom-characters-that-annoy-you/172782.md?page=2)
