    In no particular order...

    Will Schuester (Glee) - Glee's worst-written character by far. A character tries to commit suicide and everyone is depressed? Will trivialises it by saying he tried to jump off a building for CHEATING ON A TEST. He's a Spanish teacher who can't speak Spanish, becomes a History teacher who sucks at history, yet wins Teacher Of The Year award. Are the other teachers all drug-addled psychos or something? To come back to a previous point, he trivialises everything. The students say he helps them with their problems, but I find him patronising. He can barely solve his own problems! And he obsesses far too much over the kids. I wouldn't be surprised if Emma left him over how much he obsesses over the Glee club. There's passion and then there's obsession. Oh, and did I mention he asked a student to be his best man? A student who "taught him everything he knows"? Terrible writing right there.

    Upchuck (Daria) - Sometimes, these kind of characters can be endearing, but Upchuck makes my skin crawl. Props to the voice actor for that, but it just makes him very unlikeable and disturbing. It's a shame because I really liked most of the characters. Wow, that was a short paragraph compared to Will...

    I'm bored of writing paragraphs now, so...Norris from Corrie, Emily from Friends, Blaine from Glee.
    I absolutely hate Will, i mean i know it's a cheesy show but i think his character takes cheese to whole new level. For example when they're performing and he'll be clearly fake laughing really over the top and say things like "awesome guys!" throughout the whole song...it makes me cringe so much. Also I agree with what you said about him being best teacher and best man, incredibly unrealistic! I quite enjoy the programme but that just would not happen.

    Britta - Community, she is the one character that i just don't get, she annoys me soooo much.
    Cersei - Game Of Thrones, i actually hate her more than i hate joffrey because unlike joffrey she's not stupid and she knows what she's doing which in a way makes her more evil and piss-taking.
    Serena VDW - Gossip Girl, the show is already boring as it is but if it was based on only her life i will be snoring.
    The Chemistry Teacher - Teen Wolf, why this idiot is hating on my favourite character Stiles is beyond me but i would gladly kill him.
    Daniel Grayson - Revenge, ugggggggh, first he was a naive fool an i hated him for being so stupid then he became a knowledgeable strong minded fool and i still hate him.
    TBH, i hate half the characters on Revenge: Daniel, Amanda, Ashley, Lydia and Conrad.

    Agreed with your point about being far too cheesy. Like you said, the show's cheesy, but he makes it incredibly unrealistic. Not just that, but he also manages to drag down other characters - e.g. Emma, Finn. I enjoy watching it too, but Will episodes drive me insane.

    He's always put with singing songs that just don't suit him e.g Thong Song, Ice Ice Baby, A Little Less Conversation and i think he joined in with I Wanna Sex You Up. It's a massive cringe when he's a 30 odd year old teaching singing these songs to his students, it makes me feel awkward watching it. He attempts to be so much cooler than he is.

    Yeah he is obnoxious - but not the most hated characters.

    My list:
    1. Carrie Bradshaw, "Sex and the City"- Go ahead ladies, flood my inbox. Leave a plethora of terribly worded insulting comments at the end of this entry. Go ahead, but I’m right on this one. Without question one of the most pretentious and self-absorbed people to have ever appeared on TV. The self-important narration, the attempt to make something profound out of promiscuous sexual behaviour, potty talk, and disgusting materialism (which I’m not against, I’m just against making something profound out of it)...the show is just awful, and reverse sexist to boot. Carrie, being the lead character, must take some of the brunt of this. I know chicks love it and find something meaningful out of it, but you're all as deluded in your quest to make something meaningful and important out of things that are either mundane, best left in private, or frankly objectionable. And I'm not even a prude! It's just that if this same basic approach were taken into a male context, the feminazi's would be up in arms about it, and pop culture theorists would blast it as superficial and crass (No, “Two and a Half Men” isn’t the equivalent. That’s the Charlie Sheen story- or was- not the story of every guy, and it was horribly uneven when Charlie was on it let alone now). But noooo. Carrie's speaking for all of us! She's so wise! Right. Uh-huh. No, she's just a skank who keeps a journal.

    2. Chloe, "24"- Mary Lynn Rajskub's Chloe rubbed me the wrong way for far too long. Her constant pouty face, her "Peanuts" character looks and voice, her character's irritating personality...There were terrorists on that show I wanted to die less horribly than Chloe. I'm not a violent man, but goddamn I hated Chloe with every fibre of my being. Her lack of social skills were borderline autistic at times, except that would be an insult to autistic people, whom in my limited exposure, I've found to be very likeable people. Maybe I just don't like people named Chloe...


    3. Maggie Grace's character on "Lost"- I've never forgiven Maggie Grace for playing one of the whiniest, most aggressively self-centred and selfish women on the face of the planet. I hated her every moment on screen. HATED. I don’t know if everything that went wrong on the island can be attributed to her directly, but a lot could be.


    4. Dr. Taylor Forrester, "The Bold and the Beautiful"- Oh. My. God. This hypocritical, often borderline psycho is actually meant to be a shrink, and yet she protects her family no matter how wrong they are behaving. How is that healthy? What is it teaching them? Accusing Brooke of molesting her grown-arse man of a son was the final straw for me (I had absolutely no problem with the storyline having involved poison berries, however). Being played by a shocking actress with the worst plastic surgery alterations I've seen outside of that cat lady doesn't help, either. Honestly, there's less contradiction in the professional and private behaviour of Dr. Hannibal Lecter than in this chick. Revolting woman. And yes I do watch the show. What's your point?


    5. Marge Simpson, "The Simpsons"- Hmm. I have a lot of women on this list. I’m not sexist or misogynist, I promise! My cartoon MILF fetishes aside (I said I’m not sexist, I never said I wasn’t a pervert!), I find Marge to be one of the most teeth-grindingly irritating of all TV mums. Nagging, completely humourless, with an almost pathetically empty life (or lack thereof, outside of being a taken-for-granted housewife), Marge is one of the least interesting and least sympathetic characters on the otherwise wonderful, unquestionably groundbreaking cartoon series (Lisa, by the way, nearly made the list too). Remember when Lisa catches her using one of the trite catch-phrases of her Malibu Stacy doll? It was funny, but also really, really sad, and that is but one example. She does have a fine bod for a middle aged woman, though. Mind you, since that show started in 1990, she should be well into her 60s by now (And how stupid are those kids that Bart is still in grade school when he should be 32 like me?)
    Chloe was amazing! Her emotionless nature, yet undying support for Jack, the very last hour for instance!

    No- it was her husband Morris that angered me, his irritating English accent, his arrogance and yea, he armed nuclear bombs for terrorists.

    Also Edgar Styles' lisp

    Tristan from Yu-Gi-Oh, a ****e duelist and made the weirdest commentary dueing duels ever (yes, as a child)

    Nina Myers from 24 - a fantastic actress, such a good villain, so much so she irritated me

    Ecksley/Catherine from CSI- one is a very good weasel, the other is just irritating

    The wife from Homeland - she was a terrible actress, cardboard, never really warmed to her

    Wilson from House - just a yes man really

    Joffrey Baratheon - Game of Thrones (for obvious reasons. But I think abusing Sansa and forcing Ros to abuse the other girl sparked my fury most)
    Will Schuester - Glee (condescending, obnoxious, creepily involved in his students' lives, trivializes bullying, makes fun of asexuality/celibacy, fails to call out his students for racist, sexist, biphobic, trans*phobic, etc slurs -- and this show prides itself on being forward-thinking, uses the Glee club to advance his own relationship(s), trivializes suicide)
    Theon Greyjoy - Game of Thrones
    Jack Shepherd - Lost
    Kate Austen - Lost
