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."

Ozzy was a rock star and reality TV dad: Look back at iconic moments from 'The Osbournes'
After Ozzy Osbourne helped mold the sound of heavy metal, he became a reality television star. The Black Sabbat frontman, 76, died on July 22, his family announced in a statement Tuesday. But Osbourne was a pioneer in more than rock music; his stint on reality television set the stage for every such show that followed, ultimately winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program for "The Osbournes." The show, packaged like a sitcom about Ozzy and his family, premiered on MTV in March 2002 and offered a glimpse into the domestic life of the "Prince of Darkness" himself, his wife Sharon, and their two children, Kelly and Jack. It was dubbed MTV's most viewed series ever in its first season. Naturally, the family's on-camera antics were less "Full House" and more "Crazy Train," though Ozzy's habit of bellowing his wife's name in many episodes (Sharon!) was vaguely reminiscent of something out of the Flintstones (Wilma!), though with much more colorful language. While Osbourne later told New Music Express in 2013 that he regretted doing the show, the series has gone down in the annals of entertainment history and inspired the explosion of celebrity reality television. Countless iconic moments were born from the venture — so much so that some are still referenced in pop culture today. Ozzy's catchphrase and doggy dilemma Ozzy is known for bellowing his wife's name, "Sharon," throughout the series, including during "Bark at the Moon" (season 1, episode 2), when he's upset that the family's pets are tearing up the furniture, pooping, and peeing in the house. "It's not like a little squirt, he must have an extra tank," he said of one of the family's dogs, adding: "I'm not picking up dog (expletive). I'm a rock star!" He later spoke directly to the dog's butt, asking it not to poop anymore. Though initially resistant to the family's suggestion of calling a dog trainer — "You don't need to hire a dog therapist! You just need to wake up at 7 a.m. and open the (expletive) door," Ozzy exclaimed — the Osbournes eventually ended up bringing in a pro for help. Neighborly feud In "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" (season 1, episode 4), the Osbournes enter into a noise battle against their neighbors. How does one manage to be loud enough to tick off the family of one of the hardest musicians of all time? By singing folk music early in the morning, of course. Jack blasted Sabbath tunes to compete with the noise until he and Sharon decided to kick things up a notch, throwing bagels and an entire ham into the neighbor's yard. The feud ends, at least temporarily, when the police arrived at the Osbournes' home and advised the family to call them next time instead of wasting good food. The Osbournes vs. OB/GYN In the same eventful episode, Kelly bemones her older sister, Aimee (who refused to participate in the show), taking it upon herself to book her a gynecology appointment. Ozzy, who appeared less in the moment like the man who played to sold-out stadiums and more like a befuddled father unsure of how to comfort his daughter, responded: "Tell her to book me a gynecologist appointment, I wouldn't mind." "All you have to do is say (expletive) off when the vagina doctor calls," he added, before the conversation turned to him inquiring about Kelly's sexual activity — a conversation no teen girl wants to have with her dad. Presidential address In "What Goes Up" (season 2, episode 1), Ozzy and Sharon attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where President George W. Bush recognized Ozzy from the podium. "What a fantastic audience we have tonight. Washington power brokers, celebrities, Hollywood stars, and Ozzy Osbourne," Bush says. Ozzy stood, raised his arms, and blew a kiss toward the stage before thanking host Greta Van Susteren, telling her it was the "best night of my life." Bird rescue When Ozzy tried to feed the family's pet bird in "Must Come Down" (season 2, episode 3), the animal reacted in a way that made the rock icon think it required medical attention. "This bird is having a seizure. This (expletive) bird is going into a seizure!" he yelled. When the bird (which he called a parrot) relaxed, Ozzy took it out of its cage and brought its beak to his mouth to transfer food like a mother bird — a tense scene for anyone familiar with the tale of Osbourne biting off the head of a bat. Sharon Osbourne's cancer diagnosis In a rare break from its predominantly reverent tone, a segment of "It Must Come Down" touched on Sharon's newfound colon cancer diagnosis, which she seemed to take in stride with her characteristic sense of humor. We followed Sharon as she has a chest port implanted and recovered from her first treatment while Ozzy is away on a tour and "on a detox," according to his wife. We also witnessed Ozzy's struggle with sobriety on the road after a stint of what Sharon called "self-medicating" due to the stress of her diagnosis. "She's my whole world," he said at one point, while Kelly described finding out about her mother's diagnosis as a feeling like "something stabbing me." That one argument over Christina Aguilera In perhaps one of the show's more dramatic moments, Kelly and Jack resorted to full-on fisticuffs after Jack danced with Kelly's arch nemesis, Christina Aguilera, in "What A Boy Wants" (season 2, episode 11). "When you hate someone, I hate someone!" she told her brother, who insisted Aguilera had nothing but nice things to say about Kelly. "You just wanted to say you danced with Christina Aguilera," Kelly said before both siblings hurled a string of insults at one another. After the two exchanged a few pushes and slaps, Sharon intervened, later telling Kelly she would regret the time the two spent arguing. The two hug and make up by the end, much to their mother's delight. ATV anarchy In "The Accidental Tourist" (season 3, episode 5), Ozzy suffered an accident while riding an ATV on the family's English estate. Cameras followed Ozzy as he zipped around the property at high speed until the scene went black, cutting to an image of him lying unconscious on the ground. His bodyguard knelt over him, shouted his name, and asked if he could breathe. In a dramatic cliffhanger ending, viewers heard "he stopped breathing for a while" as an ambulance pulled up to the home. In the following episode, "The English Patient," the family patriarch leaves the hospital in a neck brace after three weeks, telling cameras he "died twice" and was put on "life support." "I'd never died before," he said. Jack later explained that his father suffered a collapsed collarbone, pinching his main artery, which had to be repaired, as well as a punctured lung and "cracked neck." Ozzy later said that he also suffered several broken ribs. He eventually flew back to Los Angeles at the end of the episode, where he was overjoyed to see his family. He and Sharon agreed to take a break from working unless they find a project they can work on together, saying they've wasted too many years being apart.

Doctor who supplied Matthew Perry ketamine and called him a ‘moron' is set to enter guilty plea
He had previously pleaded not guilty, but in exchange for the guilty pleas prosecutors have agreed to drop three additional counts of distribution of ketamine and two counts of falsifying records. Plasencia's attorneys emphasized in an email after he reached his agreement that he 'was not treating Matthew Perry at the time of his death and the ketamine that caused Mr. Perry's death was not provided by Dr. Plasencia.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The remaining charges can carry a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, and there is no guarantee he'll get less, but he's likely to. Plasencia has been free on bond since shortly after his arrest in August. He will not be sentenced until a future hearing. Advertisement The only remaining defendant who has not reached an agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office is Jasveen Sangha, who prosecutors allege is a drug dealer known as the 'Ketamine Queen' and sold Perry the lethal dose. Her trial is scheduled to begin next month. She has pleaded not guilty. According to prosecutors and co-defendants who reached their own deals, Plasencia illegally supplied Perry with a large amount of ketamine starting about a month before his death on Oct. 28, 2023. Advertisement According to a co-defendant, Plasencia in a text message called the actor a 'moron' who could be exploited for money. Perry's personal assistant, his friend, and another doctor all agreed to plead guilty last year in exchange for their cooperation as the government sought to make their case against larger targets, Plasencia and Sangha. None have been sentenced yet. Perry was found dead by the assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. The medical examiner ruled that ketamine, typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was the primary cause of death. The actor had been using the drug through his regular doctor in a legal but off-label treatment for depression, which has become increasingly common. Perry, 54, began seeking more ketamine than his doctor would give him. Plasencia admitted in his plea agreement that another patient connected him with Perry, and that starting about a month before Perry's death, he illegally supplied the actor with 20 vials of ketamine totaling 100 mg of the drug, along with ketamine lozenges and syringes. He admitted to enlisting another doctor, Mark Chavez, to supply the drug for him, according to the court filings. 'I wonder how much this moron will pay,' Plasencia texted Chavez, according to Chavez's plea agreement. After selling the drugs to Perry for $4,500, Plasencia allegedly asked Chavez if he could keep supplying them so they could become Perry's 'go-to,' prosecutors said. Perry struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on 'Friends,' when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing. He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 on NBC's megahit. Advertisement
