Define the "worst?"

Are they the worst comically or truly horrendous?

Do we root for their crazy antics and snappy dialogue?

And do we still love them no matter what they seem to do?

Reddit was here to share their thoguhts.


Redditor 3GR3552H3LL wanted to discuss what TV characters are just truly heinous, so they asked:

"Which sitcom character was the worst human being EVER?"

Stefano DiMera, from 'Days of Our Lives.'

A true villain.

And genius. Look him up.

Cartman

"I can't think of anybody worse than Eric Cartman."

KermitTheArgonian

"The fact when Scott tells Cartman that they are siblings and Cartman killed his own dad, Cartman cried. But not because he fed his dad to his half-brother, but because he's half ginger. Evil."

eatflapjacks

"I mean he still helped cats that one time and saved Kyle from death to maintain his ego. A lot of serial killers are on sitcoms."

Bad People

"Frank or Dennis on Always Sunny. I love the characters, but they are worst in a group of terrible people."

yeahwellokay

"I'm currently watching this show for the first time (in season 6), and all 5 of them are just the worst people ever. They all have their moments of being particularly horrendous, but I think Dennis slightly tops the group."

Migit78

"Currently I'd agree with that order. Might change as I see more of the show."

"I do think Charlie will always be at the bottom of the list though, he really is just an idiot that hangs out with a bunch of truly awful people, I think he'd be a better person if he'd fallen in with better people, that's hard to say about the others."

Daddy Issues

"Jay's dad from The Inbetweeners."

LiquidShaman

"I think he particularly resonates in a British context, because, just like how everyone knew a Will and a Jay when they were growing up, everyone knew a Jay's Dad too."

spacebatangeldragon8

"He plays the exact same character in The Office, warehouse foreman Glen (Taffy). He does have one of the best lines in the series, when told to stop smoking near a pregnant woman, telling her he won't stop."

"'Just because you let some useless tosser blow his beans up your muff.'"

That's the Point!

"Bojack Horseman is a grade A a**hole, but that’s kinda the point."

_FreshVegetable_

"That show and this character made me so conflicted. I had no idea whether I should consider him a depraved sack of sh*t, or a terribly confused man trying to find meaning."

Siriuswot111

"He’s definitely an a**hole, the story followed him throughout drug and alcohol addiction so as you said it was kinda the point. he was struggling to live with himself and he took it out on others (usually) as people with drug and alcohol addiction do, they took realism into the show and i think they did an amazing job."

Bad Guy

"Peter Griffin is genuinely a terrible person, and I'm convinced his exploits are supported by Lois' parents secretly giving them sh**loads of money."

Straight Up Horror

Cocktail Martini GIF by ArcherGiphy

"Malory Archer. She was a terrible mother, and straight up horrible boss. Not to mention greedy as f**k and self-centered.

"Nobody in the show is a good person... lol. But I think she's the worst."

AdditionKooky122

a malignant narcissist...

"Marie in Everyone Loves Raymond. I've always said that with a few small cuts, a musical change here and there and the complete removal of the laugh track and you could turn that show into a terrifyingly accurate psychological horror story about what it's like living in a family ruled by a malignant narcissist. I've enjoyed hating characters in shows before but sweet Jesus that character makes my skin crawl."

It's all Him!

"Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle. Dude tried to go one week without being an a**hole, and it went so against his nature he started coughing blood. I loved that little sh*t."

No_Improvement7573

"I find many of the stories are about Malcolm being brought down by his pride. He can't admit anyone else is smarter than him and acts out when he isn't the centre of attention."

MagicBandAid

"I feel like they even had an episode about this where he tried to get into music and was genuinely angry that Dewey was better than him at it."

ToxicBanana69

Best of the Worst

"I mean, George Costanza is a crap bag of a human, but he’s supposed to be — and he is somehow both one of the best and worst characters in sitcom history because of that."

chronicpainprincess

"George is a 'short, stocky, slow-witted, bald man' but he still dates women who are way out of his league. Despite this, he always finds the tiniest flaw with them and dumps them. Jerry does this too but at least he's not quite as miserable and obviously does pretty decently I come-wise as a comedian. George is just a pit of despair with no redeeming qualities. He's lucky any woman would even look at him let alone date him."

She Admits It

Arrested Development Flirt GIFGiphy

"Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development. She's great."

princessbizz

"Every character on Arrested Development is a horrible person, some bother to try to hide it, though. Lucille does not."

superlion1985

Bless Cloris

"Lois’s mother from Malcolm in the Middle. Cloris Leachman nailed that role."

chicagoaussie

These are some legendary characters that have graced the small screen.

Who are some of your favorite characters that could be described as the worst?

Jesse Watters Has Complete Meltdown After Republicans Lose The Midterms—And We're Grabbing The Popcorn

Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed sheer disbelief after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

A Trump advisor told CNN that the election results were "essentially too big to rig." President Donald Trump has said he accepts the results and even acknowledged that his widely unpopular war in Iran played a significant role in pushing Americans to vote for Democrats. Affordability concerns, chief among them the price of gas, also contributed to the backlash Republicans experienced at the voting booth.

97-Year-Old Man Goes Viral After Making 'Dramatic Exit' By Passing Away At His Own Birthday Party

Vito, whose last name has not been publicly reported, got his wish. The California birthday boy spent the celebration dancing with friends to the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" before unexpectedly passing away at the party. The extraordinary celebration was originally documented on TikTok by Los Angeles baker Eden Malinoff, although her original videos are no longer available.
