The townspeople of Hadleyville from High Noon. They showed themselves as cowards who profess to admire their longtime marshal Will Kane. When Kane asks for help against the threat of Frank Miller and his gang, they turn against him and encourage him to leave town instead of helping him. Even his deputy refused to help him in his time of need. In the end he faces the Miller Gang alone. With some help from his wife, Kane won. Afterwards, the people emerge, as though they were suddenly interested in him again. However, Kane simply throws his badge to the ground and leaves town with his wife without a word.

I would have left, too. Will Kane risked his life for a long time for those people, how can they say they're his friends, if they weren't willing to do the same? Fair weather friends are not friends at all.

I can't say I hate too many aside from those that are poorly written. Sure, there are the types that are "love to hate", but I feel that if that's what the creators intended, then they are doing their job well. That said, there have been some that I've disliked, particularly Michael from Lost for screaming about how they took his son for almost an entire season, and then the poor handling of how they got him off the show for good. But there are some redeeming qualities about him.

In the show Desperate Housewives I used to hate the character Gabrielle Solis before she change into a much more likeable person later in the show. For starters she was extremly selfish and spoiled and treated people like crap (except for her best friends), but most of all I find it very hard to have any sympathy for a person who cheats on their spouse with an underaged teenager. At least in the end she became a better person who cared about her husband and children.

But you know watching the way her character acted in season 1 on my DVD boxset, I don't really hate her old character that much anymore. In a weird way it's kind of entertaining watching the great lengths she goes through to protect her affair and seeing how much trouble she gets into.

The Kardashians.

Everyone on Jersey Shore who isn't Vinny (the only normal person in the cast).

Oh jeeze, my brother is a film buff (and I bet he has AS too) and we had a conversation 5 years ago about a few different movies where the protagonist was totally unlikeable. But offhand I can only remember one: the human character in Pixar's Ratatouille that the mouse helps. The slapstick was annoying, the hair pulling puppet thing disgusting, and there was no redemption for that character. I had expected that the mouse would help the chef discover greatness within himself, being the bastard son of some great chef. But there is no redemption for this character, he ends the film being just as much of a bungling moron as when the film began. A big "miss" from the screenwriters, perhaps foreshadowing the terrible, horrible stinker "Cars2" Pixar sloughed off on us a few years later.

Looking back, Tom Cruise's character in Cocktail was unlikeable, so were the Kyra Sedgewhich-Campell Scott couple in Singles. There's probably a reason the marketing campaign avoided showing those two and instead gave the eroneous impression that Matt Dillon and Bridget Fonda were the main characters in the movie though they only had supporting roles. There are a lot of character's I hate, but for me it is most interesting to list the ones that you were supposed to like but the filmmakers messed up.

In the original Transformers cartoon from the 80's there are a few robots I don't like such as Beachcomber, Warpath, Seaspray and also probably every single human character on the show, they are so bland. The humans in the Micheal Bay movies are more interesting than they are.

Thought I'd add some other characters to the list in my other post - I might add some more in another post later on, if I think of any more...there's no limit on the amount of characters we're allowed to not like, right?

Cruella deVil - A crazy woman who mindlessly kindnaps/steals/buys a massive amount of cute, lovable dalmatian puppies just to make herself a fur coat (and in the live - action remake, she wanted to launch an entire fashion line ). Need I say any more?

Max from DragonTales - There's just...something about Max that rubs me the wrong way. Yes, I get that he's only supposed to be four years old, and has a ways to go in learning delayed gratification/impulse control, but the show's creators really didn't seem to put much energy into portraying him more as a young child with various struggles/skills to learn so much as they just made him seem like a brat. At least, that's my take on it.

Take his interactions with his goofy blue dragon friend Ord, for example. Now, Ord is allergic to dandelion seeds and has mentioned this to his friends numerous times thru - out the show. In one episode, the main characters are for whatever reason doing this thing where they count various amounts of certain objects (flowers, fairies, etc.) Ord and Max have formed a team and have been taking turns counting the groups of objects they encounter. They haven't gotten very far when they come across a patch of dandelions. At that point, the scene plays out like this:

Max: Look, Ord! DANDELIONS!

Ord: (understandably less - than - thrilled) Uh oh...I'm allergic to dandelions.

Max: (Whining) But it's YOUR turn to count!

Ord: (Clearly not wanting to deal with the fallout of Max having a hissy fit if he doesn't do the counting) Oh, okay....(Counts as much as he can before giving a gigantic sneeze)

See what I mean? I guess what it is that bothers me is that Max seems to take advantage of Ord...not to mention that that is nowhere near the first time during the show's run that Max has deliberately put Ord in his allergen's way....maybe I just take cartoons too seriously, but what if Ord had a far more severe allergy to dandelions? What then?

I would NEVER force someone to come into contact with something they are known to be allergic to...once, when I was a freshman in high school, each freshman girl was paired up with a senior and we went to a farm. While my "Big Sister" and I were walking around, we were joined by some other senior girls who were ditched by their freshman partners. So, we all walked around together, and after awhile, a couple of the senior girls in the group suggested that we hit up the petting zoo.

Now, my Big Sister had let me know ahead of time that she wouldn't feel like getting really up close and personal with any farm animals, bcuz she was allergic to fur/animal dander. So, when everyone in the group started talking petting zoo, I tried to intervene and said, "Hey guys, So and So is allergic to animal fur/dander, so maybe we should go do something else instead....like, we could go thru the corn maze again....or, we could go ride those Kabuto farm machine things! Operating heavy machinery is fun, right? " But for some reason, the seniors had been kinda freaked out by the corn maze, and they didn't want to ride on the farm machinery, so we ended up going into the petting zoo. My Big Sister seemed to be okay (she had her arm covering her nose and mouth), but I kept my eye on her while we were in the barn so I could help her if she started to have trouble....I wish the other girls would have listened to me, tho, and that my Big Sister hadn't felt obligated to do what they wanted....but, we all made it out of the petting zoo in one piece.

Sorry for my tangent. I guess I could sum this up by saying that one reason why I don't like Max from Dragontales is bcuz he and I are so different - I'm considerate of my friends, and he isn't.

the "Doggy Bounce" guy from 'Flight Of The Conchords'- he really pisses me off! I love FOTC, but that guy & that episode really annoys me!

Spock in the latest Star Trek film.

The Anonying Orange is someone I can't stand. The puns that he makes are okay, but what irks is that my nephew watches him, and thinks he's hilarious. Fred <- I know the E is supposed to be backwards, but he is another person who gets on my nerves. How do you people really think he is actually funny? I've watch his episodes, and I didn't find any of it to be funny.

The Amoeba Brothers from The Powerpuff Girls - I don't know why anyone would commit stupid crimes, just so they could get beaten up and sent off to jail.

Annie from Little Orphan Annie - The sun never comes out tomorrow! I live in the NW!

The main character jerk from the original The Thing who thought he was all hot s***. I saw through him in an instant, he was nothing but alien fodder and that's all he'd ever amount to!

Rachel Ray - I don't like how she calls sandwiches "sammies". I used to turn the boxes of Wheat Thins with her face on them over in every store I went to because she was the last thing that I wanted to see when I was shopping for "sammie" ingredients. Rachel Ray ruins my lunch. And that's unforgivable.

Denethor (Lord of the Rings) Weak, cowardly leader of Gondor. First he told his soldiers to abandon their posts and flee for their lives after the Orcs arrived, but luckily Gandalf, who was willing to face and handle the situation, knocked him out and took command himself. Then Denethor almost absentmindedly burned his own son, Faramir, alive, but luckily Gandalf and Pippin stopped him and then, after seeing Faramir wake up, he gets burned up.
