More often than not, what keeps us tuning into a TV show week after week, or in one lengthy binge, are the characters.

Indeed, who wasn't filled with joy to get that iconic side-eye from Fleabag, being serenaded by Friends' Phoebe Buffay, or wish that Grey's Anatomy's Meredith Grey come to their rescue one day?

Not all characters are so innately loveable, however.

Indeed, sometimes we watch a show in spite of the presence of certain characters, and that's only if they aren't so unbearably annoying that watching their show seems an unbearable chore.

And we're not talking about villains or antagonists here.

Indeed, these are the main, sometimes title characters, who are often the biggest liability of their respective series.

Redditor booksrmylife was eager to hear which television characters had people to immediately turn off their screens, leading them to ask:
"Who is the most annoying character in the history of television?"

Some shows have writing strong enough to make you overlook characters who border on insufferable.

Other times, one can't help but scratch their heads at the popularity of certain shows with their utterly repelling main characters.

Seriously, did anyone find Rachel Berry remotely likable?

While speaking with King on the carpet, the Heated Rivalry actor was asked a deceptively simple question: what makes a great first date?

It's 2026. Sometimes couples can't "be there" for each other because of a work obligation or an important opportunity. That doesn't mean they care less about their partner or their partner's dreams.

But sports writer Dov Kleiman, who urges X users to follow his account for the "best and most accurate NFL news," posted prior to the start of the NFL playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Jacksonville Jaguars, about a decision that quarterback Josh Allen and Sinners actress Hailee Steinfeld made regarding their attendance.
