2. Rachel Berry from Glee

Fox

"There are some people who think she's the best character and not a massively annoying, attention-hogging hypocrite." —u/OneGoodRib

"The worst part was that she kept being successful accomplishing almost all of her dreams, it's annoying when a shows keeps pushing a character's success after doing horrible things." —u/jorgespinosa

3. Courtney from Total Drama Island

Cartoon Network

"The thing I can't stand about her is that she is a jerk to the host Chris who is also a jerk, her ex-boyfriend Duncan who dumped her for Gwen who is way nicer and cooler, and just being an out loud plain bully to the rest of the contestants and putting the prize money over her opponents lives. She was nice at first, but later on, I just started not to stand about her." —u/Snoo79382

4. Edward Cullen from Twilight

Summit Entertainment

"Yes I know everyone hates the movie as a whole but the people I know don't seem to recognize a problem with Edward. He's SUPER fucking manipulative, to the point that everyone in the movies acknowledges it but for some reason doesn't think it's a problem. He has a very outdated way of thinking, and refuses to listen to Bella even when she's obviously right. He keeps forcing her to marry him, even though she makes it clear that she isn't comfortable with it, and his stupid little "I have to protect everyone at all costs and no one can do it except me" is super fucking annoying. (I hate literally every character except Rosalie but not as much as I hate Edward, although Charlie and Jacob and Bella are all pretty high up on my shit list too.)" —u/adressmeashokage

"He's basically the embodiment of an abuser/stalker. I'm sorry but 'I was watching you sleep' is always creepy." —u/Niccy26

5. Jess Day from New Girl

Fox

"Any overly quirky character is annoying but even more so when she’s an absolute beauty with always perfect hair." —u/real_yarrr_shug

6. Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series

Warner Bros.

"He was manipulative, secretive, careless with the safety of his students (which bugs me as a fellow educator). But my biggest issue with him is that he knew that Harry was in an abusive household...and Dumbledore left him there. Dumbledore could have chosen other ways to keep Harry safe other than blood wards if it came down to it. But instead, he abandoned Harry every summer to face emotional abuse, neglect, and physical violence." —u/InkMage94

"He definitely could have told the Dursleys he was watching their every move and forced them to treat Harry better. Even just receiving the first letters makes them move Harry from the cupboard to a room, imagine if he actually regularly intervened. Yeah, they wouldn't have loved Harry, but they also wouldn't have starved him, belittled him, and allowed Dudley and Marge to physically abuse him." —u/justregularears

CW

"Agh she gets on my nerves." —u/Iza_bella_154

"Was there ever a time that she wasn't crying or complaining about SOMETHING? All hail Catherine 😂" —u/sssalazarr

9. Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls

WB

"Rory gets plenty of hate, but Lorelai is so incredibly self-absorbed. She was a jerk to her parents who were sending their granddaughter to expensive private school. The fact that they had to pay for Chilton just to get face time with their daughter and granddaughter was egregious enough. She ordered Luke around like a dog. And frankly she was kind of mean." —u/redsetded

10. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

ABC

"She's self-important and overdramatic. And I can't believe she didn't tell Amelia when Derek was dying. I would hate having someone like her in my life." — u/TaterTotsAndKetchup

11. Gina Linetti from Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Fox / NBC

"Sorry but she drives me insane." —u/luxxy847

"That show is so full of great characters... and then there's Gina. It's obvious they tried sooo hard to turn her into the overly ridiculous breakout character of the show (ala Barney Stinson, Jean Ralphio, Bender, etc) but she's just not funny.

Also, her behavior around Terry is disgusting. She is constantly hitting on him and making gross comments and trying to sleep with him and it's 100% clear he is in no way interested and that it makes him very uncomfortable. It's painful to watch, especially when you consider Terry Crews' real-life experiences." — u/youfailedthiscity

13. Peeta Mellark from the Hunger Games series

Lionsgate

"I will never get back the joy of thinking he was dead after the second Games was invaded. Honestly my reasons aren't good enough like him being whiny and useless; because of his upbringing of course he's no good at killing. I just hate him." —u/BiGunslinger

14. Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother

CBS

"He's just an a-hole, dating all these women pretending he's searching for love, and ditching them a little bit later because he's not over Robin." —u/mrynslijk

"Plus Ted is an unreliable narrator. So if this is him trying to make himself look better, imagine how bad he actually is." —u/deyndor

18. Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series

Warner Bros.

"Everyone makes him out to be a hero but he isn’t. At all. Everyone likes to excuse his actions and behaviors for 7 fucking years because at the very end you see a memory where he 'loves' Lily.

First, his love is not a healthy thing. It is an obsession and extremely unhealthy... Second, he borderline (though I think actually) abuses the children he was hired to teach...

Severus Snape will always be a horrible character and Harry should never have named a child after him." —u/Acceptable-Site

19. Tris from the Divergent series

Lionsgate

"I read this a few years back, so I don’t remember the exact details but I remember just genuinely disliking her character deeply whereas everyone else absolutely adored her. She’s whiny, irritating, and constantly jumps into self-sabotaging situations, not taking into consideration anybody else’s feelings." — u/Ridzy_jay

20. Cam Tucker from Modern Family

ABC

"He's so self-centered and entitled and delicate. Whenever he has a meltdown everyone's like 'No Cam everyone loves you because you have a big heart and you love everyone!' but when the fuck does that happen? All I see most of the time is Cam fishing for validation and undercutting others to do so." —u/papierdoll

21. Rose Tyler from Doctor Who

BBC

"I can't understand why, but it seems everyone except for me and my friend loves Rose, even though she is one of the most infuriating characters ever written." — u/MiVa1177

"She craps all over her then-boyfriend, ruins his life, drags him into this entire mess, and then dumps him.

And man the Doctor has had SO many better choices across every incarnation. He can do better." —u/BasroilII

22. Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto

Pierrot / Aniplex

"Just the absolute worst (seems to get better in Boruto but I haven’t watched it soooo). there is no sense or logic in his brain and half the time he looks freaking stupid." —u/LastSeong

23. John Winchester from Supernatural

CW

"Fans like him because of his redemption arc, mostly "he sacrificed himself," "he did as well as he could," "he did it for his family" and I still think he was a horrible father to the brothers. That whole John-and-Sam-making-up thing--with Sam finally understanding why his dad was a jerk after all this time--was supposed to be him redeeming himself, but I never saw it to be honest. John was still a really, really bad father, especially compared to his own son who practically raised his other son by himself." —u/Flabershlap101
