Most annoying character ever

[Dookus]

Poll question: Most annoying character ever

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. Am I the only person who actually kind of liked Jar Jar?

[Az]

Yes, and you don't know it buy you are just in denial

:evilgrin:

[Az]

4. Yes, and you don't know it buy you are just in denial

:evilgrin:

[hfojvt]

6. My 12 year old niece thought he was da bomb

I reminded her that at one time she liked Barney too.

[LiberalVoice]

2. Vince Vaughns character in "Made"

I would have killed him if I were John Favreau.

[Kire]

30. but he has endearing qualities

Jar-Jar Binks has none

[hfojvt]

3. Urkel doesn't make the list?

What about that neighbor kid from Family Ties, or Nick, the "eh" boyfriend? Or one of the Friends?

[rooboy]

5. Yeah. Urkel and "Skippy" SUCKED. n/t

[Enraged_Ape]

41. Urkel and Skippy are in a dead heat with Buddy Lembeck...

from "Charles in Charge".

[Kurt Remarque]

7. june cleaver

[Susang]

8. You are an evil, evil man

And you know it! ;-)

[UdoKier]

9. The Nanny.

I actually kind of like Fran Drescher. But I hate The Nanny. Too much.

[tuvor]

12. It was the form-hugging outfits, wasn't it?

[UdoKier]

16. No, I liked those. I kinda like gaudy taste.

No, it was her laugh, and the whole scenario of her being out of her element with this boring family.

[underpants]

26. DING DING DING DING DING DING

We have a winner

[tuvor]

10. That neighbour or relative on Too Close for Comfort

The young lady with the raspy voice. Never understood what the point of having her on was.

None of you have a clue who I'm talking about, do you? :eyes:

[webjamn]

11. Fran Drescher as the Nanny

I don't care what she looks like, that voice is horrible.

[LeftyMom]

13. Elmo

He wasn't bad in small doses but now "Elmo's World" takes up the last fifteen minutes of Sesame Street and it is quiet possibly the most annoying thing in the world. Who would have thought Sesame Street would someday be so annoying?

Oh, Baby Bear on Sesame Street and Caillou (another PBS kids show) have got to have the whiniest voices in the universe. If my kid sounded like that I'd stab my eardrums out with an icepick.

Edited to add: I forgot Bill Walton. That man has got to be the most annoying tv personality ever.

[UdoKier]

17. I TOTALLY agree.

Elmo is too hyperactive and cutesy and desperate to please. I actually like Barney better! Now that's bad! They have racheted up the pace of Sesame Street to the point where it is awful.

Kids actually LIKE slow-paced entertainment, and they are better able to absorb it. Fast-cut stuff is not good for them.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

28. Sesame Street is still a wonderful program, and

Elmo is one my two year son's favorite characters. I don't see how it is any more fast paced then when I watched the program as a child. Some of the characters are different, but the show is essentially the same. I'm not sure what everyone is bitching about. I think the shows on PBS are great. My son also likes Caillou too.

[UdoKier]

29. When I was a kid I grew up more on Mr. Rogers

And I still would prefer my kids watch him. Sesame Street is way too MTV for me. We also get the Japanese network, NHK (our kids are bilingual bicultural) and the kid's programming on NHK is so far superior it's amazing. Pacing is just right for kids, and there is a certain routine to the segments of the show that is comforting to little ones. I really wish the folks at PBS would study NHK's kids programming and lean a few things. Enough attention-span-destroying quick edits!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

36. I watched Mr. Rogers too.

I believe it is still on PBS, but it is on in the afternoon when my son is taking a nap. I don't think Sesame Street destroys attention span. My son's attention span is getting better, not worse. He is two, and he loves to have books read to him. I also grew up on Sesame Street. I never had problems with ADD, and I was always a good, conscientious student in school. There's far worse things on TV that kids can watch. PBS is the best there is for folks who don't have cable. Frankly, most cable stations are worse, not better, than PBS.

[UdoKier]

38. You'll get no argument from me on that.

Still, I wish you could see the NHK shows I'm talking about. Much, much better than anything on PBS.

[Telly Savalas]

40. Concur.

Last week there a segment with Ray Charles singing the ABC song. How can you beat that?

While I could do without Elmo's World, a lot of the new things are cool and still in keeping with the spirit of the program. e.g. the Spanish word of the day, Journey to Ernie, and the new characters like Alan at Hooper's store, Maria's daughter Gabby, and Gordon's son (that guy with the cornrows...can't remember his name.) It's pretty much the only TV my 2.5 year old daughter watches...other than when she watches part of a game with me.

[TheMightyFavog]

43. The kid's name is Miles.

I remember when Susan and Gordon adopted him.

[Telly Savalas]

47. Aw yeah, that's right.

Being a huge jazz fan, I'm embaressed that I'd forget the name of anybody called "Miles".

[LeftyMom]

46. Go get "Blue's Big Musical Movie"

Ray Charles (well, his voice, the scene is animated) teaches a little music theory. The songs are catchy as hell.

[Telly Savalas]

49. Steve in '08!!!

Didn't Steve from Blue's Clues do a recording with the Flaming Lips? If he's talented enough to pull that off, then he might be our man in 2008. He certainly assumes a greater intelligence in his audience than George Walker Bush does in his. We might have do something to address the perception that he's soft on defence though.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm hopping on the subway and taking the little one downtown this afternoon. We'll probably pick it up while we're there.

[Skittles]

14. I am out of the loop

who are these f***ing people?

[hfojvt]

18. You do not know Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?

or Jar-Jar from the recent Star Wars movie? Consider yourself blessed. Neither movie was worth watching.

[Beer Snob-50]

22. I liked Spicoli

or maybe i just tolerated him til pheobe cates came on the screen.

[hfojvt]

51. Spicoli was the highlight of the movie

but for me the whole movie was a downer, sorta written from a teacher/authoritarian point of view contrary to the claims of its title. Give me John Hughes anyday over that and Ferris Buehler.

[Skittles]

37. I remember Mr. Hand

:D

[LiviaOlivia]

15. Love the edit. LOL

Thank you

[terrya]

19. ALL incarnations of Bill Lumbergh

We get the fucking joke already.

[Susang]

27. What, don't you think it's funny?

Don't you have a sense of humor? He hasn't broken any rules you know! He can bore you and me to death with his pale imitation of a movie that is almost ten years old if he wants, and by god, he's going to! ;-)

[terrya]

34. Yeah, sweetie, that's what I'm afraid of.

Boring us to death. A slow, lingering, BORING death.

I liked "Office Spaces" myself, but come on...that kind of obsession is WEIRD. :-)

T

[B Calm]

20. We have a guy at work who calls himself THE LOVE MASTER

[vinessa4freedom]

21. oompa loompas from Willie Wonka

Geez, I have nightmares to this day.

[StopTheMorans]

23. Bill Lumbergh without a doubt, he is such a Republican

:puke:

[aden_nak]

24. Lumbergh is annoying but funny. Jar Jar just needs to die.

Lumbergh: Oh, and next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day so, you know, if you want to you can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

Jar Jar: I don't know. Mesa day startin pretty okee-day with a brisky morning munchy, then BOOM! Gettin very scared and grabbin that Jedi and POW! Mesa here! Mesa gettin' very very scared!

[ThorsHammer]

25. Other: Cast of Friends, and the casts of reality shows

[FrankBooth]

31. Adam Sandler's character in "Punch Drunk Love"

or maybe Napoleon Dynamite. I don't understand the hype.

[dean_dem]

32. Meesa-Jar-Jar ruin the whoooole movie!

And I thought the Ewoks were bad. At least they weren't introduced until the last quarter of Return of the Jedi. Jar Jar came in five minutes into the damn thing.

[Ekirh]

33. I can't believe....

Jar Jar is not winning this by a landslide.

[FrankBooth]

35. the prequels were so disappointing

that I barely remember Jar-Jar - I believe that is a good thing.

[redqueen]

39. Shitter's full!

[Telly Savalas]

42. Any role Kelsey Grammer ever took should get honorable mention

although Jar Jar gets my vote.

[bif]

44. How could you forget Eddie Haskel?

[fudge stripe cookays]

45. Anything Gilbert Gottfried is IN or ON.

I freaking hate the asshole. His yelling schtick is 20 something years old, it's annoying, it's boring, and it grates on every last nerve I have.

Die already!

[ceile]

48. Donna 90210

[Richardo]

50. Any Joe Pesci character

I'd love a movie where someone shot him during his first speech.

[greyfox]

52. The worst was not there... so.. other...

The Shrub!
