We all have those TV characters we absolutely love! For example, I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t absolutely love Sophia, Dorothy, Blanche, and Rose on The Golden Girls<\/a>. But just as memorable are the ones who drive us completely up the wall. Whether they’re annoying sidekicks, overly dramatic main characters, or just plain unlikeable, some sitcom figures manage to be very, very divisive.<\/p>\n

Well, people had OPINIONS! Below are the top and most often repeated sitcom characters that people just can not stand:<\/p>\n

1.”Urkel on Family Matters<\/a>. Dude was annoying, yet became popular, and then took over the whole fucking show. Kimmy Gibbler was similarly annoying, but never became the focal point.”<\/p>\n

2.”Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. Her neediness was only surpassed by her inability to take a hint. Her awkwardness made me feel second-hand embarrassment.”<\/p>\n

3.”Rachel Green<\/a> on Friends. She is a real bitch and is actually one of the worst characters in any TV show.”<\/p>\n

“Rachel is actually the most appalling. She is such a difficult character to like. Any person who likes to portray her as a victim, I immediately think less of.”<\/p>\n

\u2014Vikingaling<\/a><\/p>\n

5.”Beverly Hofstadter on The Big Bang Theory must enter this chat. NOTE: I adore the actress, and I think the character is brilliant. But Beverly is objectively awful across every category. Truly nailed it.”<\/p>\n

7.”I don’t know if it counts, but I dislike Gene Belcher of Bob’s Burgers. I dunno what rubs me wrong, maybe just the general grossness of his jokes? Or his personality. He’s the weakest link.”<\/p>\n

“Randy is totally inoffensive. He’s a lightning rod for hate because of the circumstances of his arrival. A shame it really put the brakes on Josh Meyers’ career because I thought he was great on MadTV.”<\/p>\n

“Today, I coincidentally looked up how long this terrible show was on, and it somehow was on for eight seasons. I\u2019ve never found Jim Belushi to be funny at any point in his career, including this garbage show.”<\/p>\n

\u2014PHX480<\/a><\/p>\n

10.”I really liked Cheers, but I couldn’t bear Diane. An awful character that I felt was really badly portrayed. I understand that many people loved her, which baffles me! Maybe her character didn’t ‘travel’ outside the USA!”<\/p>\n

Like, I could not even get through the first season, but it did make a lot of people’s careers, so there’s that, I guess.”<\/p>\n
