TV characters who were supposed to be funny but annoyed you - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For me it would be Schneider from "One Day at a Time". He was supposed to be so funny and provide comic relief, but most of the time he just annoyed me. I usually fast-forward his scenes. It seems like they had Schneider come in at all the inappropriate times. There were times when I wanted the "serious" scenes to continue for a while, but then here comes Schneider. For instance, in the episode where Julie and Barbara father comes back and he and Ann are fighting, Schneider just kept interrupting. It was so annoying.

I like them at the same time but really annoying at the same time:

Leroy Brown of Meet the Browns

Martin Payne of Martin

Jack & Karen from WILL & GRACE, o my god I always felt like jumping through the TV screen, and shouting "WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE ***** UP!!!" and punching them!

I used to get annoyed at Buddy on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW but not now.

Captain Manzini or however you spell his name from My Mother The Car. He overstayed his welcome....

RetroGuy2000 · 01-21-2014, 01:18 AM

Urkel.

Less annoying but still annoying: Cody on Step By Step, Jackie during the last seasons of Roseanne, Kimmy Gibbler on Full House, Screech on Saved By the Bell, etc. Basically, any character so stupid that s/he would be on life support in the real world. These characters are supposed to be funny; in reality, they're just dumb.

ThomasE · 01-21-2014, 10:42 AM

Retroguy, I can deal with Cody and maybe even Kimmie. However, I felt like I wanted to smack everyone else and say get a grip. I could not take it anymore. Its like they were going off a cliff. Jackie nuts by the series' end of Roseanne.

My dad absolutely hated Andy Kaufman in general and Latka on Taxi in particularly. It was so intense that it ruined the show for me, even though I admire Andy Kaufman.

MacLeaper · 01-22-2014, 10:54 AM

Most characters who are meant to be funny on television shows I find to be funny. (Though not always). I can't really think of any that I'm really annoyed by... if anything, I'm more annoyed by characters on shows that espouse decadent values...

dakert · 01-22-2014, 05:03 PM

These two have annoyed me forever:

Exidor on Mork and Mindy
Reverend Jim on Taxi

MacLeaper · 01-22-2014, 05:33 PM

Really? Exidor on "Mork and Mindy" and Reverend Jim on "Taxi" are two of my favorite characters on both shows. But I guess it just shows everyone has different tastes- and that's cool.

Aubrey from Ellen. Her high pitched squek works my nerves "Ellen hurry up or you are going to be late for your dinner with your ex bf"
