—wgolden130 “I can’t argue with her reasons for killing her father; I’d go as far as to say she had a very good reason to do so (for a TV show, of course). But then she spent the entirety of the show saying she was innocent and being so upset whenever she had to face the consequences for her actions. SO ANNOYING. And don’t even get me started on how she kept ping ponging between Jack and Sawyer depending on who she was pissed with at the moment. Ugh.” —ns67 “Not a single other character in that show makes bad decisions not only for herself but for other people as consistently as she does.” —u/Sasstiel “I hated how everyone was always protecting her, sacrificing themselves for her… but what does Elena do? Whine, put her self in dangerous situations and just make it harder for everyone else. Also she was a complete douche for entire Stefan/Damon thing.” —u/Loose-Locksmith-6860 “She’s a bit bland, but the main thing I didn’t like about her was how she always made everything about herself ([for example,] Caroline’s mom is dying and Elena made it about herself [and] even has a ‘romantic scene’ with Damon right after). She also refuses to take accountability for her actions (she hurt her friends when her humanity was off, and when they brought it up to her when her humanity was back on she told them not to expect an apology, because she was too busy wallowing in self pity). She also left her boyfriend for his brother.” —u/girlpower0823 —tiffanyl4094cf4e3 “I watched the first episode and was like ‘Nope, not for me, life is too short.’ When she told her dad that he should be grateful that she’s not a drug addict? I couldn’t even begin to understand her thought process.” —u/Pame_in_reddit “The character was not that interesting. At least to me, she seemed [like a] one-dimensional narcissistic, privileged first world baby who flips out every time life is more complex that she had thought.” —u/atlanticbluemarine “The whole set of characters was incredibly self-centered, shallow and uncaring. The way they portrayed friendship was disheartening; everything was about serving their own egos.” —u/atlanticbluemarine “She is one of the worst main characters ever. She’s portrayed as this intelligent, calculated, by-the-book person. Yet she regularly wants to break US law because it will finish the case, or gets to decide when she wants to be ’non-emotional’ and that things shouldn’t be a big deal, but burns people for being emotional or irrational. I’ve been trying to keep watching the show but the writing lets her get away with so much garbage that I can’t do it. Every other character just sucks up to her in every way. Blows my mind the show had as many seasons as it did.” —u/MrAbstrak —kristancruse “The first two seasons, yay. It was a great mashup of different personalities bouncing off each other, then coming together to make it work. Then, the writers seemed to waaaaayyyyy ‘over-quirk’ Jess. She slowly became very annoying [and] clingy, almost a parody of herself.” —morgan_le_slay “SO many of the episodes at the start of the series were [like this]: Jess wants to do something, either out of impulse or to try to force the universe to be the way she wants it to be. The guys collectively tell her, ‘No Jess, that’s a bad idea.’ Jess does it anyway. Tsunami of consequences. No lessons learned. Her relationship with Nick (and Nick wasn’t perfect either) felt constantly sabotaged by Jess, often due to the formula above. … As the show went on she continued to be the ‘quirky’ one that everyone else often had to navigate around, and late in the game when she had Jury Duty (AKA Zooey Deschanel was pregnant) and she was gone for a long stretch and Megan Fox was around…the show didn’t miss a beat and, in a lot of people’s opinions, was better.” —u/RKO-Cutter —u/tkt546 “I watched it at 12 and thought, ‘oh, poor Rachel is just a misunderstood quirky talented girl.’ Watched again a couple years later and nope.” —u/2004moon2004 “I don’t get how she had any friends. Especially after sending Sunshine … to a crack house…wtf was that?” —u/PuzzledSeries8 “Every time they said she was the best singer, it ruined the reality for me. MAYBE she was the best technical singer in-universe, but Mercedes’ voice was just much nicer to listen too. Everyone else’s voice was so much nicer to listen too. I hated her, but I also hated the hard on the creators/writers had for her.” —u/I_am_also_a_Walrus
“I loved Glee as a teen. As an adult rewatching it, and now a qualified teacher, Will’s relationships and behavior with the children makes me uncomfortable.” —u/BabyFace2020 “Rachel was awful and the show knew it (most of the time). Will was actually the worst. Dude was an absolute scumbag.” —u/AliasUndercover123 “His ‘rapping’ was a crime against humanity.” —u/mkatherine I can never forget when he tried to make Garrett (who is in a wheelchair) shovel outside and then said ‘I want you all to remember this next time you say Garrett can do anything.’ Most screwed up joke I’ve ever heard." —f4bul0u5 [Jim] left his wife taking care of a baby and a toddler and maintaining a house ([that] he bought without telling her) to pursue his dream. [He] made [his] wife believe he was having a bad time at work to not make her ‘feel worse’ about being alone with the kids. [The] whole time he was being driven around in limousines and meeting his sport idols. One bad day, [he] went into total dick mode over a dance recital she didn’t record when he should’ve been there in the first place. [Jim] made Dwight believe the office was contaminated with radiation, got him to waste money on a work bus, [and] made him drive it to a pie stand. [He] bossed him around like an animal all day to fix his marriage problems. All while Dwight was going through a crisis thinking the radiation made him infertile. There’s more but I’m tired, lol. The Office is my favorite show. Jim isn’t the worst, I just seriously don’t comprehend why he is so loved." —u/SpiderTingle —u/joecarter93 —u/LordBurgerr —nicy2 —mrrobinson23 “He would also be all shocked pickachu face when his unsupervised son would go do something stupid and his entire plan would be to yell ‘CAUURRRL!’ over and over in a sound-responsive zombie infested area.” —u/Ruffleafewfeathers “I just really really hate how hypocritical he is, specifically at the farm when he saved the kid and then does this weird execution only to…torture the guy??? His character just really annoyed me when he’d preach about empathy and whatever, then give second chances to people who don’t deserve it while doing the opposite to others.” —u/mockingbird_lullaby Not to mention the fact that she actively sabotaged Ted’s relationships she didn’t deem worthy of her and Marshall growing old with. … [She] also hid massive credit card debt from her husband, forced him to stay at the soulless corporate job he hated, and then later gave him shit when he started to actually like that corporate job." —u/ShawshankException —kristancruse “A typical self proclaimed ’nice guy.’ … I remember he went to great lengths to steal client information from a matchmaker agency, because he thought she was ’the one.’ He also went back to a girl who he dumped on her birthday because he was worried that what if she was ’the one’… then he dumped her again on her birthday because he didn’t want to ‘waste her time.’” —u/meowmeowwong Step 2) Terrible plan creates a new enemy.

“There’s a TV show called Zack Morris is Trash. Some guy basically breaks down each episode of Saved By the Bell and points out every single heinous thing Zack does to his friends and classmates.” —u/SevsMumma21217 “What a narcissistic asshole.” —u/RWTF “Literally, how was he never expelled?” —u/Lucky-Pianist-2554 —j-north “I stopped watching that show because as I grew up and became more emotionally mature, I realized how immature Lorelei was.” —u/Regular-Procedure-86 “Sookie was an idiot who thought she was smart.” —u/karmaticbeauty “Sookie and Bill were so annoying and boring but surrounded by such interesting characters! I read a lot of the book series and she’s a drag in the books, too.” —u/-AUniqueName- —c449114c2a “I always feel sorry for Sylvester because that little bird is so obnoxious.” —u/fanestre
