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?

Trump Blasted After Posting AI Photo Of Himself In Military Uniform With Medals He Never Earned

President Donald Trump, who has never served in the U.S. military, has now sparked accusations of "stolen valor" after sharing an A.I.-generated image of himself in a military uniform alongside General George S. Patton and General Douglas MacArthur, complete with a slew of medals he never earned.

Trump posted the image at 6:14 PM Eastern Time on Truth Social with no additional comment. Patton and McArthur are shown with a lower rank and fewer decorations than Trump. In reality, Patton held the rank of four-star general, while MacArthur was one of only nine Americans to achieve the rank of five-star general.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Military Test Of GPS Jammer Now Suspected Of Contributing To Fatal Medical Plane Crash

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing criticism after a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that military GPS jamming from the White Sands Missile Range was active when a medical evacuation aircraft crashed into a mountain ridge in New Mexico in May, killing all four people aboard.

Investigators said the Beechcraft C-90 air ambulance crashed into the Capitan Mountains near Ruidoso shortly after midnight on May 14 while flying from Roswell to pick up a patient. The accident killed both pilots and two flight nurses and sparked a wildfire that burned tens of thousands of acres before firefighters brought it under control.

Anya Taylor-Joy Sparks Debate After Giving Her Take On Why You Don't See As Many Female Method Actors

Method acting has long been associated with actors who stay in character on and off set, but Anya Taylor-Joy thinks there's a reason women aren't often part of that conversation. Her explanation followed her being asked whether her own immersive approach to acting qualifies as method acting.

While method acting is often synonymous with performers remaining in character off set, its roots trace back to Russian theatre director and actor Konstantin Stanislavski, who developed techniques to help actors better understand their characters' motivations. Over the years, however, some performers have taken that level of immersion far beyond its original intent.

Marvel Fans Are Stunned After Learning Tom Holland Wore A Wig In 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'

When it comes to major franchises and box office-busting fanbases, Elijah Wood from The Lord of the Rings is no longer alone in being an actor who wore wigs.

It's pretty common for actors to wear wigs to achieve a certain style for a role or to avoid damage to their real hair. There's no shame in it, and observant viewers can usually tell when an actor is wearing one in a film. Every once in a while, though, a wig stylist will be so talented that the faux hair will go undetected.
