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.

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at an event in Utah. In the months since, Owens has distanced herself from many figures on the far right, accusing them of exploiting his legacy—at times even sharing private communications she had with him.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom—the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom—criticized President Donald Trump after he claimed her husband's dyslexia should disqualify him from being president, calling Trump's comments "extremely ignorant and offensive."

Newsom has frequently spoken about living with dyslexia, a common learning disability that can make reading more difficult and affect spelling and speech. He has said he prefers not to rely on teleprompters because of the condition, and wrote in a recent memoir that, when he was younger, he overcompensated by memorizing “pretentious words.”

Gellar reveals reason for Buffy reboot ax

Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally pulling back the curtain on why Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s planned return was abruptly shut down—and the explanation is raising eyebrows.

In a new interview with People, Gellar pointed to a single Hulu executive who, she claims, simply didn’t like the original series, effectively halting the planned continuation show Buffy: New Sunnydale in its tracks—an ending that feels less like a heroic finale and more like a stake through a vampire’s heart.
