Worst TV Sitcom Characters Of All Time
Recently, redditor Final_Target_4274 wanted to know about the divisive sitcom characters when they asked: "Who is the worst sitcom character of all time?"
Well, people had OPINIONS! Below are the top and most often repeated sitcom characters that people just can not stand:
"Urkel on Family Matters. Dude was annoying, yet became popular, and then took over the whole fucking show. Kimmy Gibbler was similarly annoying, but never became the focal point."
—Efficient-Hornet8666
"Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. Her neediness was only surpassed by her inability to take a hint. Her awkwardness made me feel second-hand embarrassment."
—MerriweatherJones
"Rachel Green on Friends. She is a real bitch and is actually one of the worst characters in any TV show."
—LordCoke-16"Rachel is actually the most appalling. She is such a difficult character to like. Any person who likes to portray her as a victim, I immediately think less of."—Odd_Firefighter_8193
"Whoever Idris Elba was on The Office."
—Marshiznit"Charles Miner and he's aware of the effect he has on women."—Vikingaling
"Beverly Hofstadter on The Big Bang Theory must enter this chat. NOTE: I adore the actress, and I think the character is brilliant. But Beverly is objectively awful across every category. Truly nailed it."
—SkatingNerd4Life
"Seven on Married... with Children."
—VStarlingBooks"Unwatchable episodes!"—mayfare15
"I don't know if it counts, but I dislike Gene Belcher of Bob's Burgers. I dunno what rubs me wrong, maybe just the general grossness of his jokes? Or his personality. He's the weakest link."
—nazieatmyass
"Randy on Season 8 of That '70s Show. and it's not even close."
—Flat-Artichoke4289"Randy is totally inoffensive. He's a lightning rod for hate because of the circumstances of his arrival. A shame it really put the brakes on Josh Meyers' career because I thought he was great on MadTV."—Luchalma89
"Jim from According to Jim."
—FrequentLunch2711"Today, I coincidentally looked up how long this terrible show was on, and it somehow was on for eight seasons. I've never found Jim Belushi to be funny at any point in his career, including this garbage show."—PHX480
"I really liked Cheers, but I couldn't bear Diane. An awful character that I felt was really badly portrayed. I understand that many people loved her, which baffles me! Maybe her character didn't 'travel' outside the USA!"
—Automatic-Scale-7572
"Nellie from The Office."
—johndhall1130"Nellie was annoying because of the storyline. It was frustrating that she just claimed Andy's job, just because he had one day off to sort out things with Erin. That's not how jobs work."—Sean_13
"Frank Grimes from The Simpsons."
—Plane-Tie6392"Good ole Grimey…"—Madduxfan31-97
"Doug Heffernan on King of Queens. He acts like a perpetual teenager. He expects Carrie to do everything around the house despite having a demanding job of her own."
—rachel_ct
"Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory. Her character changes from one episode to another. She does a 180 within the same episode. Strong personality traits yet completely undefined as a character."
—blackrain1709
"Principal Belding on Saved by the Bell. He was obsessed with Zack and even followed him from elementary school to high school."
—szatrob
"Phoebe was the worst character on Friends. I enjoy Lisa Kudrow outside of that role. Just hate Phoebe as a character. She was a terrible friend; she almost cost all of them their jobs."
—Mr-Mortgages
"Raymond on Everybody Loves Raymond."
—Noshitsweregiven69"Fucking Ray Barone. I remember seeing a few odd episodes growing up and laughing... tried to watch from the beginning as an adult a couple of years back and that show was fucking garbage. Like, I could not even get through the first season, but it did make a lot of people's careers, so there's that, I guess."—Global_Intern_9248
"The neighbor/ carpenter guy on Schitt's Creek. I can't stand him."
—SurrrenderDorothy
"Gina Linetti on Brooklyn Nine-Nine is just an awful person who the rest of the cast gaslit the audience into thinking was awesome."
—JustSomeBloke5353
"The wife, Jill, from Home Improvement. She just lacked any kind of joy and was a vortex in the home that would suck up any happiness her sons or husband brought."
—Scambuster666
"Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory."
—Away_Ad_5390"THANK YOU! What an obnoxious character — and completely unrealistic that he would have any friends at all given the way he treated literally everyone who knew him like total crap."—phm522
"Tom Haverford on Parks and Rec. The character, to me, was just a bad person who had no redeeming qualities."
—skipper_jonas_grumby
"I'm sure this is unpopular, but Michael Scott. I can't fucking stand him, and every time I try to watch the show, I give up after half a season. Still haven't made it past season 5, and I don't plan to ever finish it."
—Goldfishyyy

Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber Spill on 1 Behind-the-Scenes Moment You Didn't See at '90s Con
Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber are recounting the moment from '90s Con the fans didn't see — when they locked themselves in a bathroom after Sweetin ripped the handle off the door. Speaking on their rewatch podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos! about a season 5 episode of Full House in which Joey grabs a doorknob and yanks it off the door completely, the two recounted the time they did the same thing. "You did it at '90s con," Barber said of Sweetin. "The bathroom." "I did," Sweetin interjected. Barber added that Sweetin "ripped the thing right off." "We couldn't get out of the bathroom," Barber said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "That's right, we were in there together, weren't we?" Sweetin said. "Yes, we had to wait for someone to come in so we could get out," Barber affirmed. "We were banging on the door from the inside. This was a Full House episode. We recreated it without even meaning to." Barber added: "We were like, 'Oh, crap, there's a press line right now. We're missing things.' " Fortunately, a staffer found the two and got them out, with Sweetin sheepishly letting them know what happened. "And they were like, 'What did you do?' And I just handed them the door handle. Like, I walked up to one of the people working there and I was like, 'Hi. I don't know where you want me to put this,' " she said. "So awkward — so on brand for you, Jodie Sweetin," Barber added. Sweetin added that the same thing happened on the set of a Lifetime movie she starred in. "I, like, shut the door, and it was an old house. So the door frame kinda it, like, wouldn't quite shut. And I was like, 'I can do it.' And I wedged it shut. And then that was it," she said with a laugh. Sweetin and Barber both appeared on the original show Full House, which aired from 1987 to 1995, and its follow-up, Fuller House, which aired from 2016 to 2020. The duo has said on their podcast they'd be open to another revival — but would need some time first. "We need some more time. It's too soon," Sweetin said on the podcast. "But I absolutely would do it. Again, if we could come back and like, finally, I feel like do that ridiculous sort of adult sitcom because then we would be... You know, give us another 15 years or whatever." Sweetin continued: "The kids that were watching Fuller House will now be the age, like, in their 20s with their own [kids], so I feel like all the generations would have moved up enough that you could do kind of a bawdy, Golden Girls-esque silliness of the three." The three would be Barber's neighbor Kimmy Gibbler, alongside Sweetin's Stephanie Tanner and her big sister D.J., played by Candace Cameron Bure. Read the original article on People

Jessica Simpson Confirms She's Single Post-Divorce
Jessica Simpson might be done with ex Eric Johnson for good, but she wants the world to know that she's not through with love. In fact, during an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, Jessica revealed what she wants in a man in the wake of her divorce, and it's actually pretty simple. Just hours after dropping a new single 'Fade,' which fans are convinced is about Eric, Jessica told Jenna Bush Hager that she's actively searching for a new beau. 'I'm slightly terrified,' she began when asked if she was ready to date. But when Jenna offered to set her up, the singer jumped at the chance. 'I am single! I'm ready,' she said. Like any good matchmaker, Jenna followed up, asking Jessica what she was looking for in a man. 'My type of person is one of a kind,' she said. 'I don't have a look or anything like that. I just go for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego.' Jessica continued, 'It's hard to find, but I feel like it's out there.' She might not have a physical type, but Jessica did have some personality requirements. 'I don't need somebody to be supportive of me all the time,' she said, adding, 'The independence that I have right now—if I can have that and give to somebody else, that would be cool.' Her other non-negotiable? 'Has to be a very good kisser,' she said. 'To me, that's the most intimate thing. Like, grab my face and pull me in. Can you tell I need it?' Jessica appeared on Today on Wednesday to promote her new music—her first release in over a decade. She took a step back after welcoming her first child, Maxwell, with Eric, and continued to take a break from music as she welcomed two more kids, Ace and Birdie. She announced her split from Eric in January after 10 years of marriage and has turned all that heartbreak into brand new music. 'Music saved my life,' she told Today in a prior segment. 'Nashville saved my life, all the songwriters, my band, everybody.' Welcome back, Jessica!

Jaleel White Reacts To Malcolm Jamal Warner Death
This week, news broke that Malcolm-Jamal Warner had tragically died in a drowning accident in Costa Rica. According to ABC News, the actor was swimming on Sunday afternoon when he was caught in a rip current. He was pulled to the shore and given CPR for 45 minutes, but attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. He was 54. Later that night, Jaleel White was asked about Malcolm's death at the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2. The two were, of course, television icons in the '90s, with Malcolm starring on The Cosby Show and Jaleel on Family Matters. "I'd be remiss not to ask you," the reporter, who was representing Extra, began. "Obviously, today we heard the news of Malcolm-Jamal Warner as well. You guys [were] both on TV around the same time. Just, what does that mean to his impact and to The Cosby Show's impact?" Jaleel, appearing visibly shaken, replied, "I mean, Malcolm and I were industry peers. I mean, really, I can't even say that. Like, I grew up looking up to him. He was ahead of me in the game." "I'm kind of waiting for more details to come out because it was just a very disturbing accidentally this. But I don't know," Jaleel said, pausing as he struggled to find words to describe the loss. "You kind of caught me at a loss for words and kind of reflecting on my own memories." Jaleel went on to recall his "close" friendship with Malcolm — including their shared connection to Michelle Thomas, the late actor who had dated Malcolm and appeared on The Cosby Show and Family Matters before dying of cancer in 1998. "Malcolm was like the first former child actor that my mother even let me go out with late at night past 11 p.m.," Jaleel recalled, "and I had a very close relationship with him, both him and Michelle Thomas. May they both rest in peace." Later on, he also took to Instagram to correct an error made in news coverage on Malcolm's death. On Monday, Us Weekly appeared to share an X post that said, "Hollywood is mourning The Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who died on Sunday, July 20, at age 54" — except the thumbnail used a photo of Jaleel. Sharing a screenshot of the apparent blunder on his Instagram account, Jaleel wrote, "All for clicks? @usweekly 🤷 Cmon Guys, fix this." As of writing, it appears the post has since been removed. You can see Jaleel's post below.
