TV Fans Voted On Their Most Hated TV Character—And The Results Sparked Heated Debate

Cersei Lannister; Caillou; The Governor
HBO; PBS; AMC

While fans were mostly in agreement with the number one pick for Ranker's 'most hated TV character of all time' list, some of the results left people scratching their heads.

There are some TV characters that leave an indelible mark on our hearts—by filling it with a seething hatred hotter than a thousand suns.

Recently, website Ranker decided to catalog these awful personalities by polling the internet about their most loathed characters ever.


And while some of the results were predictable, universally-reviled garbage people, some of the other names that appeared on the list are downright weird.

The top spot went to Joffrey Baratheon, one of the truly awful central characters of HBO's Game of Thrones. Most agreed that his spot was well deserved.

But not everyone agreed—some felt the show's Ramsey Bolton, who came in at #2 on Ranker's list, should've bested Joffrey by a mile.

Others in the top 10 who made total sense to pretty much everyone were baddies like The Governor from The Walking Dead, yet another villain from Game of Thrones, Cersei Lannister, and every parent's nightmare, the whiny titular character from PBS's Caillou.

But others were downright befuddling. Like Skyler White, Walter White's long-suffering wife on Breaking Bad, who ranked higher than the same show's Todd Alquist, a literal Nazi who murders kids—and that's not even the worst thing he did.

This left people pretty indignant, since the only real justification for hating Skyler White more than Todd Alquist is good old-fashioned misogyny.

And the list only gets weirder the further down it you go, like the baby dinosaur from the obscure 90s sitcom Dinosaurs and, for whatever reason, Stephen Colbert, who isn't even a TV character but rather... Stephen Colbert.

People definitely had a lot of opinions about practically every entry on the list.



Anyway, Ranker's list has changed since the viral top 10 that circulated over the weekend, and it's arguably even weirder now. But at least there has been justice for Skyler White, who's fallen out of the top 10.

Woman Says What We're All Thinking About Trump Deploying ICE To Airports In Blistering Interview

A woman interviewed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has gone viral for her response to reporters who asked for her thoughts about President Donald Trump's announcement that he would deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.

Stephen Miller Caught On Camera Letting Out Heavy Sigh As Trump Tries To Justify Iran War

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was caught on camera letting out a heavy sigh as President Donald Trump spoke at a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable in Tennessee about his ever-changing justifications for going to war with Iran.

A WSMV 4 Nashville broadcast showed Miller briefly turning his head and letting out a sigh as Trump described Iran’s missile capabilities as “growing so fast” that the U.S. needed to act before it became “virtually impossible to stop them.” Miller then composed himself and faced forward again toward the president, who was seated at center stage.

Video Of ICE Detaining Sobbing Mom At San Francisco Airport As Her Young Daughter Watched Has People Seeing Red

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's administration is coming under fire again over White nationalist White House advisor Stephen Miller's immigration guidance.

Campaigning on a promise to deport violent criminals, the Trump administration has instead become the violent (often masked) aggressors that Americans fear. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees have repeatedly targeted individuals without warrants or just cause based solely on racial profiling, denied people's constitutional rights, and killed people in their detention centers and on the streets with impunity.
