The most annoying character ever?

We can all agree that bad casting and dumb as dirt dialogue were the worst parts of Jason X (made-for-sci-fi-channel quality special effects running a close third). The character of Janessa compacts those problems more than any other, making her possibly the most annoying character I've ever seen. I liked Jar Jar more. At every turn she had something mind-numbingly inane to say in the voice of a mentally handicapped child and she wasn't even that good looking.

Pierce Brosnan in The Langoliers.  I know he was supposed to be annoying, but cripes, that was going overboard.  He screamed every line!  It's like he didn't know how to play the character so he just yelled.  Imagine an alarm clock going off every time he opens his mouth and you'll get the idea.

Basically, any child character clearly thrown into an adventure for no other reason but to give kids in the audience someone to identify with. Even as a kid, I hated those characters.

Also, any cartoonish character awkwardly stuck into a 'serious' movie just to be cute and marketable and funny. This includes the alien pet in the Lost in Space movie and half the characters in The Phantom Menace, among others.

This, of course, only applies to genres I enjoy. Those I don't enjoy might be chock full of annoying characters.

Ye, verily. Any Kenny is a bad Kenny. "Meteorites" was on sci-fi the other day, and i wanted a rock to drop on that Neo-Kenny so bad!  But noooooooo......also, any character that your expected to feel bad about his death, because...well....your just supposed to! No reason, its in the script. "Lt. Deadmeat", the ultimate sacrifical ham...er, lamb. Also....any kid ,or adult that keeps yelling or screaming the hero's, or other character's names. Eraghh! I hate that! That kid in "Meterorites" kept yelling "Grampa,Grampa, Grampa..." if i'd been Anthony Zerbe, i'd a hit the brat over the head with part of a truck. "Sorry, honey. Joey died from a volvo rear axel through the ear. so, wanna get together with the hunkey guy and make some better...i mean more grandkids?"

I agree with the characters that yell someone's name over and over. This is especially noticeable in kid's movies, because apparently no child has the mental capacity to know who the main character is. I also hate when a kid's film tries to make you feel sorry for a person's situation in life but it's really not bad. The kid lives in a house the size of a small country and has tons of friends and the cute girl down the street is crazy about him but he's not good at baseball! The only movie that ever really made me feel bad about the kid was Willy Wonka. Poor Charlie....

The most annoying characters ever are the ones that are supposed to be funny, but the writer of the script is too f**king stupid to make a good joke. See "80's Show, That" with the character of "Roger."

  I also hate the "Awww" kid, the one that is put in mortal danger even though  you KNOW it won't die. Yes, I said IT. Such creatures are not human to me and I refuse to accept them as such. They are grown in Hollywood as needed, I tell you.

And J.R., I actually LIKED Jason X! I expected bad dialogue,and the casting didn't really matter sicne they were all deadmeat eyecandy anyway.

Private Joker

In the first installment of the "Child's Play" movies (with Chucky for those of you who don't know), it would have been the best one (it's the second best to me, Bride of Chucky being the best because the producers finally decided Chucky wasn't that scary) if the little kid Andy wasn't so !%*&@#$ annoying!  He never said Chucky, always Chu-cky, with a little quarter second space in between the syllables.  I was cheering for the doll (actually I always do anyway, Chucky rules).  I was saying, "C'mon, Chucky, kill him!  KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!"  Luckily Andy is a much less annoying actor in Part 2 (and 3, but it's not the same kid).

i haven't read any of the responses but I know at least half of them say Jar Jar.

What about the scrawny little imp from The Mummy. He had the most annoying screech in his voice. I just could not wait for him to die in the end- if he didn't annoy the scarabs to death first that is!!

Jar Jar is one of those especially annoying characters, falling between bad comic relief and lame cartoony character thrown in for the kids. Either of these is bad enough on its own, but work synergistically together to make Jar Jar more annoying than the sum of his parts. Hated Jar Jar immediately after he was introduced because Lucas felt it necessary to shove him in our faces and beat us over the head with just how funny he was supposed to be. Couldn't have been worse if he'd just jumped up and down shouting "Looky Looky! Meesa funny! Meesa funny!"

The Drummer in Josie and the p***ycats (although all the characters in that were annoying)

How about the guy in Friday the 13th. He came into the camp with Kevin Bacon and his girlfriend in the truck. He was the one who annoyed all the camp counselors with korny pranks and annoyed the police officer with his Tonto impression. He was the first to die in the camp itself--could have dragged him on a little bit longer i suppose---NOT!!!!!
