What's wrong with Big Bang Theory?  If you hate it... Shame on you!  Shame on you that you think Big Bang Theory aint funny.
Anyways my vote goes to Jar Jar Binks

Scrappy from the "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy" shows.



Don't know who Scrappy is?  It's OK, you're young and innocent.

Big Bang Theory is one of the best shows ever, but that doesn't stop Sheldon from being annoying as hell.

I know who Scrappy is and where he originated (the Scooby-Doo and Scrappy show).  And yes I forgot to add him.  Sorry, total brain fart.  And yes, Scrappy is one annoying Mutt

Sheldon annoying those of us in real life is mostly why it's such a great sitcom.
And speaking of sitcoms...

I know scrappy. that little mutt that thinks he is so tough.

I think Fi from Zelda: Skyward Sword was a bit annoying. Actually, all the talking was.  ::) I just want to shoot things. maybe that's why I enjoyed the classic Doom/Descent games. you just shoot!

annoying annoying? Doom 3 taunts are. (yes, bought the BFG edition, thus is why Doom is on my mind)

oh......it's not a character, but how about the GPS in Midnight Club? EVERY time a cop is near, responding to a call because of you, someone has to contact you, so you don't see the GPS anymore.

I think that's it for now anyway.

Most annoying: I guess Fi from zelda. too much talking, pointless info.

Hmm...these are all either characters I'm not familiar enough with, or really don't think are that annoying, at least not enough to be the MOST annoying...

Ummmmm...

Ooh! Ooh! I got it! Rita Skeeter! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Skeeter#Rita_Skeeter) Y'know, from Harry Potter? Plagues and pestilence, I HATE that woman! I just wanna reach into the book and STRANGLE her!

I must change my vote to agree with Scyphi.  Especially in the movies.  But strangling wouldn't be fair to the actress.
Speaking of the actress, I remember seeing her in something else more recently.  But I don't remember what...

Oh I voted other so I don't need to change my vote.  I just need to change my tune.

I never considered Jar Jar Binks or Guidebot all that annoying. Don't know any of the others in the poll. Scrappy and Skeeter, gotta agree. Very annoying. But Skeeter was a good plot point, she was supposed to be an annoying character, whereas Scrappy just sucked.

Wesley Crusher.







Note the definitive period.

Post by: VANGUARD on October 30, 2012, 03:16:03 AM
I guess there is one I actually did find annoying, where it was sometimes hard to watch the show. Roseanne's sister in "Roseanne", Jackie I think.
I found her annoying. Hard to watch her at times.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: -<WillyP>- on October 30, 2012, 04:16:21 AM
That whole show was annoying, and one of the reasons I stopped watching TV.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: Scyphi on October 30, 2012, 06:42:01 AM
Sorry Darkwing, but I have to confess that I never really found Wesley Crusher that annoying. A lot like how I didn't find Jar Jar Binks or Guide-Bot annoying, like WillyP.

Or the Duck hunt Dog....or Amy Rose...or Scratch and Grounder...

The others I don't really know well enough to comment on, or don't know at all. And I only know Scrappy by name. My mother would probably agree that he's a poor character though.

Yeah...I'm sticking with Skeeter.

"We're in danger!"
No you're not.  You just think you're the queen.
"We're getting pummeled by PTMC forces, please help!"
When I get around to it.  It's not like you can be destroyed or anything.  Ya know, like my ship can.  Selfish b@$!@%d.

And how do you manage to make such an awesome gravelly voice sound so whiny?  Whoever did that voice must be extremely gifted with a lack of voice acting skill.

Nah, not the most annoying. They'd be far more annoying if they were one of those escort targets that dies all the time.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: Scyphi on October 31, 2012, 06:38:40 AM
Yeeeah, I have to agree with IHateHackers on that one, but the cargo ship does come close to being among the most annoying.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: VANGUARD on September 02, 2013, 05:09:58 PM
sorry for the bump, but I found one ANNOYING!

For those who know Call of Duty, MW3. In the spec ops map "Flood the Market", you have Overlord (I think) tell you what to do in various places like every 5 seconds, I kid you not.

After you grab the computer/data, "Get to the rooftop!" Before even getting there, as fast as you can, it is mentioned at least a few more times I'd like to say. "I say again, get to the rooftop!" ALRIGHT ALREADY!!!! It's not like I can just leap up there! DANG!
And when the connection to the tower or whatever has been interrupted, "It's been interrupted, get to it to get a connection." 5 seconds later..."reestablish that connection!"

Not word for word, but he brings it up every 5-10 seconds, way more often than hearing D3's "We're in Danger!". It gets VERY VERY ANNOYING, especially on the most difficult setting. That alone makes it hard.

I'm changing my vote to Sybil Fawlty.

Post by: Matthew on September 03, 2013, 04:29:25 PM
D3's "We're in Danger!".
Say what?
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: VANGUARD on September 03, 2013, 05:49:40 PM
someone believes that the line in Descent 3, level 9, "We're in Danger!" is annoying.
try the one I posted, when you're getting shot at, there's chemical poisoning near you, and you can't go too far (to safety) without hearing Overlord bark orders at you every 5 or so seconds.
That is annoying.

Voted for Navi, however I have to agree with Darkwing....Wesley Crusher was really annoying.

I am writing a novel series and I am soon to publish the first book. I have an annoying character, but not in the sense that he is stupid, but that he is goooooood at what he does. He is very intelligent, very resourceful, foils plans, and loves to crash parties so to speak. Basically an overall troll. He has more resources at his disposal than the main character and may actually be more of a good guy than the main character. How about dem apples.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: Foil on September 12, 2013, 09:37:48 AM
...foils plans...

But does he "foil Foil's plans"?

[Sorry, couldn't resist. ;) ]
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: DarkWing on September 12, 2013, 10:11:29 PM
Because that would foil Foil's plan to foil the thread by getting our foils foiled?
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: Foil on September 13, 2013, 07:00:59 AM
Exactly!!

...uh, wait, what?  :o
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: VANGUARD on September 14, 2013, 12:22:04 PM
"We foiled you again, didn't we Dave?"

I think that line, or by quote "We foiled him again, didn't we Dave?" from Throw Mama from the Train, one of the student writers.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: TechPro on September 14, 2013, 07:56:31 PM
That reminds me ...

Foil,
All this rain and flooding, has it foiled your neighborhood?

(Sorry, couldn't resist the play on words)
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: Kaiaatzl on September 14, 2013, 08:31:29 PM
I wonder if Foil is a Dave...
I was going to say something about how the word detail proves America is inhabited entirely by closeted furries but I can't remember it now.  I wish I could.  It sounds ridiculous.

IIRC, Foil is indeed Dave.

(I'm not a stalker, he gave me his contact information when he was helping me out with a PD reunion once :P)
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: VANGUARD on September 15, 2013, 01:16:41 PM
I do believe so, and an email address which I won't give out, because I sort of forgot it, and I'm sure he doesn't want it out just like that.

I think there was a time I left Planet Descent.
Title: Re: Most annoying Fictional Character
Post by: Foil on September 16, 2013, 07:44:02 AM
Yes, I am a Dave (in that my first name is indeed David).  :)

I hadn't heard that line before, Van.  Perhaps I'll use it someday. ;)

By the way:

Foil,
All this rain and flooding, has it foiled your neighborhood?

Thanks for asking!

My neighborhood has been okay, but the water levels got crazy for a while.  There were large ponds where no ponds had ever been, and the creek near my place which is normally just a foot wide or so was probably 30-40 feet wide.

Definitely tired of the rain, and hoping for the best for the folks up in the Boulder/Lyons/Longmont area who are still cut off.
