This "Hall of shame" threads seem to be a craze here at the moment. I've jumped on this band wagon. Here's the Tv characters I can't stand
Scrappy Doo = Far too annoying. I don't even watch Scooby Doo if he's in it Great Gazo from Flintstones = An alien in the stone age. What were they thinking Kimmi from Rugrats = She just annoyed me. I just didn't like her attitude All the cast of Pokemon = Again they just annoyed me. Team Rocket are villans you can't take seroiusly Venus from Ninja turtles = Ok she would have been a good character if she was more mature and not ignorant. Sean from coronation street = He's just too camp and I don't like the fact he's there so corrie can have a gay character. They should have kept Todd as the gay character. At least he wasn't a steryotype.

I know that holding a grudge against a animated hand-painted character is as low as anyone could go but; a TV character that makes me mad is Professor Kurata from Digimon Savers/Data Squad. His gall to plan a genocide against the entire Digital World population after an petty run-in with a Lynxmon 10 years ago makes me want to punch something. I mean, while his armies of trained soldiers and Gizmon were out there killing millions of defenseless Digimon, he just sat on a cliff edge watching it all whilst sucking a lollipop!
Don't get me wrong, though. He's a fantastic villian and a great character. (Spoilers for Digimon Savers/Data Squad in this post)

Bloo from "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends"" He used to be cool, but now he's a major jerk.
The cast of "My Gym Partner's a Monkey" = Also annoying.

Any character brought in to bring new viewers in. Any "cute" character. Most comic relief characters. All token characters, because they frankly serve to highlight the ignorance of the writers nine times out of ten.

During the last episode of Dream Team, I wasn't too keen on Danny Sullivan's attempt to burn the stadium to the ground. He was planning the murder of tens of thousands of players and fans. Not nice.

The cast of Gym Partner, Robot Boy, Squirrel Boy, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, and Class of 3000. The Powerpuff Girls-Him_he really creeps me out. Ed Edd n Eddy-Kevin_he's a show off and is always putting down the Eds.

And so far, not one mention of Barney the Dinosaur or Dora the Explorer? Or Justin from Power Rangers Turbo?
Then of course, there's the soapie villains, who are actually made to be despised. I don't watch too many soaps nowadays (just Corrie actually), but I have felt that sense of hatred towards the more nasty characters; Charlie Stubbs and Tracy deserve what came to them (it's not happened here yet, but I've heard; thanks a lot, Nana!).
Can't think of too many others, although I'll agree about Sarah and Jimmy from Ed, Edd N' Eddy. What a couple of brats. Poor Ed doesn't deserve to be treated like that. Eddy, maybe, but still, they're annoying.

How about the Telletubies?They make me wanna puke!

Bloo:I totally agree he's a jerk now.Look at what he did to poor Mac in "I Only Have A Suprise for You"
Everyone on Bob the Builder:Just a bunch of Morons who love working and sing gay songss while they do it
Herriman:He's a total ***** who just over works Franky to no end

And so far, not one mention of Barney the Dinosaur or Dora the Explorer? Or Justin from Power Rangers Turbo? If it's any consolation, Dan, I actually voiced 'Power Rangers Turbo' as one of my most hated programmes. The basic event of all four original Rangers leaving was too much for me. I got bored of the series after that. I can agree with you, Dan, that it was a little daft to have a 10-12 year old playing a Power Ranger. Why the heck did that happen? They could have had just one or two Rangers leave in 'Turbo', IMO. Stuart

I've read that Justin was introduced for the kids as they were the target audience and the characters were getting older. Plus they saw an opportunity for a new character as Rocky left due to injury both in the show and in real life. As for those 4 leaving Zordon, Alpha 5 and Billy had just left so it was a matter of time for those four to leave.

Any new cartoon character on Cartoon Network or Nickolodeon
Teletubbies: They poison young childrens mind.
Calliou: He's so sappy, I just want to slap him.
Barney: He's like the Telletubbies, he pollutes innocent minds.
Anything on Nick Jr. (except Blue's Clues, that's are actually ok)

Teletubbies: They poison young childrens mind. I agree with you, someone on the CiTV Pinboards once said that her little brother learnt to say "Eh-oh" and "Buh-bye" from there. If that's education...well I don't think about the consequences... Moving on I dislike Tommy's brother from Robotboy because he bullies him. Heck, just what is the point of having a brother around to bully the protagonist? Is it a studio policy or something? And what's worse is that the parents are usually idiots! What's worse with Robotboy is that I reckon they copied the idea from Foster's Home from Imaginary Friends, in which Mac has an older brother who bullies him, and has an idiotic mother (watch the Christmas special, which thankfully was only one of 3 eps I saw of said show last Christmas/New Year). What's worse, is that such characters don't get their commupence. At least this happens to Vicky in Fairly Odd Parents (or at least the antics of Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda distract us far enough from her), then again, I don't know what they've been doing in recent episodes...

Let's see I can't stand:
Barney & the Teletubbies combined: Same reasons as everyone else. Dora the Explorer: See Barney Elmo of Sesame Street: He used to be likeable, but now he's intolerable. Bloo: Same reasons as everyone else, he's a jerk now. Homer Simpson: Too dumb to be funny anymore. The cast of Dork, Dorkk, n' Dorky: Oh wait, that's Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. My bad, but 'nuff said. Billy and Mandy: Stupid

The characters from most new shows on Nick and Cartoon Network, because frankly all the new shows are stupid to me. As well as Barney (I once got in trouble for singing a well-known parody of "On Top of Mt. Smokey" about him) and the Teletubbies, most PBS shows' characters (except Thomas of course).
And for celebrities, it's Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie, Donald Trump, and New York.

Ah boy, here I go:
Sarah from EEnE - Sometimes, I wish Ed would kick here in her giant teeth. >< Kurata from Digimon - Okay, I really like the Analogman reference, but dude, chill out. >>; Chelsea from That's So Raven - (the whole show kinda stunk, first off) She was an alright major character in the beginning...but then they dumbed her down so badly that she suddenly became just barely recognizable. Grim from Billy and Mandy - The fancy schmancy stick is cool. Not much else. Grim REALLY needs to suck it up...he lost a game of LIMBO. It happens, dude. Stop whining when you get the chance. Scooby Doo - Can somebody PLEASE put a barking silencer on this mutt? Hearing him talk is enough to make you watch Disney. Li'l Bush - Hearing him talk is enough to make you want to watch Scooby Doo. Paris Hilton - WHY does she have a show? They could just make every news programme into "Paris Hilton Hour", and make every entertainment/music network "Paris Rant Channels".

Good call on Homer Simpson, EdwardtheBlueEngine. He was a creation of genius in the show's heyday, but they overused him and just stripped him of all redeeming features. He went from a stupid but decent man with a twisted sense of logic, whom you could laugh both at and with, to just a stupid man.
