The main character of How I Met Your Mother is the most hated character on the show. And the cab driver who shows up for two minutes an episode somehow outranks him. Make it make sense.

We broke down the five most loved and five most hated HIMYM characters, ranked by what fans actually voted across Ranker, Collider, Looper, and Reddit. Barney's redemption arc, Marshall being the only genuinely good person in the entire group, Tracy stealing the top spot in basically one season, and Ranjit quietly becoming a millionaire while Ted cried about Robin for nine years.

Then we get into the people we couldn't stand. Ted "corrects your grammar and goes back to Robin five seconds after his wife dies" Mosby. Lily and the Front Porch Test. Stella, the altar, and the note. Plus Karen and Zoey, who exist purely to be hated.

The wild part? Almost everyone on the hated list is a woman Ted dated. Which says a lot more about Ted than it does about them.

Drop your top three in the comments, and tell me: are you a Barney first or a Marshall first person? It says everything about you.
