That character is bad and you should feel bad! (Worst character thread)

[on:]

The other one hit 20 pages, so here we go.

I've just realized that ever since TFHS, I can't stand Robot Santa. His character has gone from great to stupid. 

I'm also not really a fan of Petunia. She seems just like a recurring "filler" character, if that makes sense.

[Reply #1 on:]

I can't remember if I ever posted in the last thread although I probably did but my "go to" least favourite character is Günter. I imagine this is an opinion shared with many.

If I thought about it a bit longer, I'm sure I'd be able to come up with plenty of characters I dislike more though. Like Roseanne as herself in 'Three-Hundred Big Boys'. Does she count?

Edit: Oh my God, I forgot Susan Boil.

[Reply #2 on:]

I guess there's a whole heap of one-time characters that I hate.

Susan is one of them. I sincerely hope we never see or her about her again.
I didn't really mind Guenter though. He's just a smelly monkey; no big deal.

The Queen in ATPH.

I'm gonna have to agree with you here. Susan "Boil" was sort of disgusting. I don't remember laughing one bit at any of the jokes that involved her, and someone would've noticed her in previous episodes for sure.

[Reply #5 on:]

The Queen in ATPH.

Yeah, poor character design doesn't quite begin to cover that one.

I third that sentiment, a horrible stereotype character. Painfully unfunny and out of character for the show...

Susan Boyle can get the fuck off the show too. She has no place on Futurama and is an absolute disgrace...

[Reply #7 on:]

I prefer to limit myself to recurring characters, as one-offs don't have as much invested in them. Susan Boyle is stupid, but we're not exposed to her over and over and over.

Which is whys I singled Sal outs in the last thread.

You wouldn't expect the future to be perfect, but it would at least be a little bit better, don't you think?

My least favorite character would be that Abner Doubledeal, I hate him....he's just such a pompous ass....or maybe Fnog, sexist, I'm all about girl power

[Reply #10 on:]

See you in girl hell!

Spoiler warning! Click to show/hide!

I'll be in boy hell. Much nicer.

I added a poll as well, with the characters that I believe are most likely to be mentioned.

You go girl!

I hated Susan, so I chose her...just gross,

I never used to be a big fan of him until 'Yo Leela Leela'. Some of his lines in that episode were golden.

It's funny how a bad episode can make a bad character good...YLL messed everything up! "I was supposed to have the script right now!...NO! It was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago! Oh, here she is...bye grandma."

[Reply #14 on:]

Funny how two of his episodes are considered to be some of the series' worst. 

I think he's cursed or something.

[Reply #15 on:]

How the heck did Hypnotoad get on this? I find that offensive!

[Reply #16 on:]

These aren't characters I think are bad, but characters that I suspect will be brought up.

Some of these are personally my favourite characters.

[Reply #17 on:]

Who the hell hates Flexo? Flexo, for one,is one of my favorite Benders! And I really loved: "The Lesser of Two Evils."  This is the worst kind of discrimination, the kind against me!

"You writers make me sick..." *flips through script* "Nice script though."

Bending Unit.

I went for Nixon on the poll. His design is boring, he's overused and even though he is pretty funny I just don't get the appeal.

[Reply #19 on:]

Nixon gets considerably funnier the more you know about his actual presidency. I'm willing to guess that as a 15-year-old Brit, your knowledge of him is somewhat lacking.

Do a bit of research, even if it's just watching 'Frost/Nixon'. It'll be worth it!

[Reply #20 on:]

I suppose I should.

That's a great movie! I wouldn't of laughed as much at Nixon moments if I hadn't seen that movie...

Besides his fuck up, he was actually a really good president...

In case you didn't know (which you probably already did), Billy West's take on Nixon is more of an impression of Anthony Hopkins' impression of Nixon as opposed to being a straight-up impression of Nixon.

[Reply #25 on:]

Yes I did. Know that.
Also, SGB - "good"? Not really. Perhaps effective. But then, so was Hitler. It's a matter of definition.

[Reply #26 on:]

Susan s definitely the worst one time shitty joke character, for re-occuring, I went with hedonism bot, his shtick was never really funny

[Reply #27 on:]

A poll? Hmm. Susan's the worst one-time, sure. I'm not big on Hermes. I]m also not big on Preacherbot. Cubert is growing on me (figuratively, I'm not the professor).

[Reply #28 on:]

The Preacherbot isn't a terrible original character, but Phil does such a good job of the voice. That alone makes me like the character.

I fourth.  The Queen was awful.

Eh, Unreal, I love Petunia.  She's a great recurring character.  Seeing her fill up her oxygen mask with whisky and drink from it made me laugh so much.

[Reply #30 on:]

Yeah, I like both Petunia and Hattie. The show's definitely not lacking in funny recurring characters... them, Morbo/Linda, Sal, Lrrr, various robots...

[Reply #31 on:]

I had to chose "other", as Coleen was not on that list.

[Reply #32 on:]

I don't think Coleen is that bad, but she was fairly pointless.  She had a cute voice, but that's about it.  She didn't really bring anything new to the table that Leela couldn't have done, in terms of drama in the story.   Seriously why did Fry try to kill himself because of her again?   

[Reply #33 on:]

Colleen herself was okay. The plot surrounding her was a little dumb. But I'm glad she ended up happy.

[Reply #34 on:]

Dirty wench can have all the hot tentacle on spinal cord action she wants now.

[Reply #35 on:]

And she better enjoy it, dammit.

[Reply #36 on:]

Good old Yivo, selecting someone we wouldn't actually miss for his concubine.

[Reply #37 on:]

I presume you meant Yivo, but that creates an interesting image.

[Reply #38 on:]

Eugh, now I'm imagining a hot steamy Morbo/Colleen makeout session. Ew.

[Reply #39 on:]

Oh god, that little typo is actually even more horrifying.

And we know Freako has probably drawn it at some point.
