"Many characters are nice, likable and engaging. Meredith is none of those". Spot on.

The worst part of Rachel Berry is It's actually Lea Michelle being herself

Rachel Berry was typically the villian of the show. I don't know how anyone sympathizes with her.

How did you not have Carrie from Sex in the City on here?! She’s a terrible friend, girlfriend and person.

So we’re not gonna mention Carrie from sex n the city?

Finally someone acknowledges the train wreck of a character that is Meredith Grey! I liked the show in general but watching her interact with basically everyone was hard.

The thing I probably hate most about Ted Mosby is how he expects everyone else around him to change while he continues the same pretentious behavior that continuously ruins his relationships.

That face Rachel made after Gwenyth Paltrow’s character says she sucks…that just cracks me up.

I dont agree about Jack....he saved countless lives of survivors and was burdened with being a leader who had to make hard choices but always looked out for the survivors

LOST: That is actually Jack's arc. To turn him from a pragmatic, depressed broken person who lost hope back to hopeful leader. He was giving his life for others, but couldn't find his true meaning in life. Jacob had to turn him into a believer.

I was hoping Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries would be on this list. Plus I agree with #1; she’s the worst of the worst and downright annoying.

Ted is nowhere near as bad as the rest of the people on this list. He's no saint, he definitely has his flaws, but he's hardly "the worst."

Now let’s subvert this: Top 10 WORST Main characters who became better in TV history.

I could tolerate Cat Valentines voice on Victorious I could tolerate Bernadette’s voice on Big Bang Theory I could tolerate Cartman’s voice from South Park But Fred’s makes wanna sandpaper my ears off. The fact he has a movie is crazy listening to that voice for 2 hours is CIA level Torture.

Meredith Grey actually got much better once Shepperd is gone😅 Also, I'd also add Charlotte York or/and Carrie Bradshaw as honorable mentions: Charlotte drives me mad with her obsession with marriage and classicism, and the way she treats Harry at the beginning of their relationship

Okay, where is Sookie Stackhouse?. She was absolutely the worst. She basically acted like the world revolved around her and was an absolutely horrendous friend. Worst thing she did was have Tara get turned into a vampire knowing what one put her through. And her constant crying and screaming really got annoying.

If Ted Mosby was more honest with himself and also more mature he wouldn't be so unlikable

They should’ve done a top 20 list just to cover all the bases. Not just the ones that are considered THE worst of the worst.

I’ve never heard of “The Fred Show,” but who could sit through that annoying voice - even for 11 minutes?

Should've put ross from friends in here too

top 10 secondary characters in TV shows that are better than the mains one

I would never be friends with Rory Gilmore if she came to life.

Lea Michelle actually just played herself throughout the whole Glee series.

Vanessa from Van Helsing. I don't think I've ever seen such an unlikeable TV protagonist. She's overly arrogant, selfish, self-centered, self-righteous, mean, vindictive, completely full of herself, is a sexist man-hater, looks for the smallest reason to condemn people, is hypocritical in how she condemns others for literally the exact same scenarios she's biased with, and is so eager to kill that she looks for the smallest reason to do so. Worst of all, she never changes or grows as a character, despite acknowledging these faults herself.

Ted Mosby was so beyond annoying, he was an obnoxious know-it-all, he was crappy to his friends especially Barney and he was on the verge of being creepy and possessive about Robin, when they don't work as a couple at all

Elena from Vampire Diaries. She made everything about her, toyed with 2 brothers for most of the show which drove a wedge between them, always a damsel in distress with no backbone or hobbies, claimed to be katherine’s “opposite” when she did the exact same thing with the salvatore brothers. They should have given her more of a personality and made her stronger instead of having her be the girl who needs to be saved every 5 seconds.

wtf? Jack Shephard is an AMAZING protagonist. His journey from a man of science to a man of faith is one of the greatest character arcs in tv history. And Matthew Fox is a brilliant actor. Already lost interest in the rest of the top 10.

Surprised Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell wasnt on here, what with Funny or Die making an entire series about his bad decisions

Meredith Grey? Who made this list? She’s not the best but she’s far from being the worst. You should’ve put Owen Hunt here.

I feel like Spencer from All American. He falls in love with one of his friends girl dates her then breaks up with her and dates her best friend he also selfish when it comes to others trying to follow their dreams and gaslights them to thinking there making horrible decisions

Jack Shephard and Meredith Grey are nowhere near the worst parts of Lost or Grey’s Anatomy. Jack is great and Meredith is the most mid character in existence.

Amazing video of the worst main characters of tv shows,fantastic job watch mojo. What about phoebe and Chris from original charmed and Dawn from Buffy the vampire slayers.

"We'll be excluding cartoons" You're so lucky, Velma.

Piper is not as bad as grey And don’t judge survival strategies in prison. Do you know how dangerous and terrible are them?

Carrie on Sex & the City?

Meridth isnt my favourite character and she irritates me at times. But thats the point, she goes through a lot of issues, she goes through theraphy. She becomes a better person

I’m surprised Watchmojo doesn’t do honorable mentions anymore

Not famous enough to be on this list, but Lilly from Cold Case. This was such a great show but she was unbearable! While the unit could work together as a team she would be the "strong independent" cop that goes against the others, her boss's wishes and common sense to prove everyone wrong! And the fact that she is the one who sees the victim's ghosts at the end instead of the people who really cared about them was doubly frustrating.

I am surprised to see Meredith Grey in this list! She may have been annoying at the start but she grew and matured. Now she's a mom and a widow as well as Chief of General Surgery.

How is Sheldon Cooper not top 5🤷🏿‍♂️

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I don't know if sitcoms are allowed in the list. My pick is Al Bundy. 🤣

I really appreciate this video 😊

Can you do top 10 worst main characters of cartoons (maybe even anime)?

Jack was Awesome on Lost...

Meredith grey was such a pain to watch.

It was before the end of the first season that I knew OITNB no longer belonged to Piper. Nearly all of the inmates and prison staff far overshadowed her.

Carrie Bradshaw from SATC . Also Jenna from "Awkward"

I loved Gilmore Girls..but when Rory slept with Dean, the April scenario and the horrible nightmare that was season 7 I was done.

Worst Main Characters in my list is... - Katie Otto: American Housewife - Leslie Knope: Parks and Recreation - The Short Family: Life in Pieces - Brenda Leigh Johnson: The Closer - Sharron Raydor: Major Crimes - Jane Clementine Rizzoli and Dr. Maura Dorothea Isles: Rizzoli & Isles - Temperance "Bones" Brennan and Seeley Booth: Bones - Baby Shark: Baby Shark's Big Show - Steven Universe: Steven Universe - Dib: Invader Zim - The Whole Characters: Gravity Falls - The Whole Characters: Regular Show - Xavier and Yadina Riddle and Brad Meltzer: Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum - The Whole Characters: Star vs. The Forces of Evil

Carrie Mathison from Homeland should definitely have been in this list

How did Fred get a show, when Smoch didn't? I'd watch those guys on TV!

The protagonist of bones with the way she constantly shows off how smart she is.

How could Emily be worse!? Sylvie Grateau and Julien should be on this list because they treated Emily like crap. For no. 5, it should have been: - Cassie Howard (her selfish ways destroyed her friendship with Maddy) - Princess Margaret (she is mean to Elizabeth and her troubled marriage with Lord Snowdon is a selfish act) - Fallon Carrington (she always shows a lot of cleavage to seduce her way to the top of the corporate ladder)

With Meredith, the show is constantly trying to convince us she's some badass hero when she's just a monotone plank of wood. "I'm so dark and twisty".. no, you're a bore. The show really overcompensates for it too. By s10 or so she's survived a bombing, drowning, a mass shooting, a plane crash, and I think a hurricane. She's one of the least interesting characters on the show and the actress is awful

The first time I saw Greys anatomy I had no idea Meredith was the main character 😂

All of them are on point !! They all definitely lack charisma

Great choice for #1. It also describes Lea Michelle to a T. Also where was Dawn Summers from Buffy The Vampire Slayer?

As someone who never watched Fred, I remember watching the first Movie and thinking it was stupid enough to be funny. Everything else though...

In terms of good shows like some of these, some other the other characters are more interesting and entertaining and the lead character isn’t as great or even interesting in comparison

How about Kate Kane from the first season of "Batwoman" - she breaks into a man's house, assaults the staff, steals his clothes, then says, "I'm not going to let a man take credit for what a woman does." Bint, how about you take responsibility for trespassing, assault, and theft!

Next do one for animated tv shows

She hulk should be on the list

I can't believe Carrie Bradshaw wasn't on this list lol

Meredith did get better once she became an attending and Derek was gone. She grew so much and now she’s one of the best characters on the show. It might’ve taken a long time but with how long the show is they can do slow development well.

Zoey from Zoey 101.

surprised that Clarke from The 100 isn't here

Fred is like someone took Pee wee Herman, removed anything endearing and dialed his worst attributes past eleven.

Frasier can get on my nerves pretty bad sometimes.

In basically all dramas the main character and their love interest are the worst. Dr Shep is ok with Rose and the ex wife, Brooke, Peyton and Anna are all at their worst with Lucas Scott, Marissa Cooper and the half sister are actual psychos with Ryan Attwood, all the men who are interested in Susan on Desperate Housewives, the list goes on. Don't get me started on Ross and Rachel, although that's essentially a comedy, but they're generally the "main" love interests in the show, despite the amazing Mondler relationship.

I think Flash from the arrowverse should be on this. hes not a good hero. he would be useless without the team. he has almost destroyed the universe multiple times. the flash is supposed to be a scientis and hes kind of an idiot in this version. he also has no accountability, any time hes screwed up and the other characters dare to try to call him out on it he turns into a selfish brat.

The entire main cast of Seinfeld. For every group of people they encounter in each episode, they take it upon themselves to openly criticize and mock others for often immutable traits. And while that is meant to be part of the comedy (and it works for that), this is not a qualify for a 'good' person. It would be like going on a date with a girl who openly admits that she thinks she is above you because your facial proportions aren't 100% symmetrical, and that gives her right to talk down to you; not only that, but that she makes fun of your sexual preferences and kinks with her entire family. And when Jerry, George and Elaine are occasionally called out for this kind of behavior, they don't strive to better themselves, judging others for surface-level imperfections and possible insecurities. One week later, and they're back to heckling another person, like a high school bully who never learned to grow out of the taunting phase. Great show, but reprehensible characters.

I never considered Rachel the main character. I didn’t watch the show for her and none of her songs did anything for me. Also yeah, she was a brat

8:31 oh THATS where the meme comes from! I’ve never seen this show

While some of the entries I can see being on here, there are some who I think shouldn't be on here simply because they don't fit the mold of what you expect a main character to act like.

How did Walter White from Breaking Bad not even get a dishonorable mention? Worst personality ina TV-show I've ever see

What about Zack Morris in Saved by the Bell. Not only does the world revolve around him, he can actually stop time to suit him.

If Meredith Grey was the worst why did you her on the top 100 greatest character on the list instead of Cristina?

I would add Walter O’Brien from Scorpion to this list. His character was smart but insufferable. The other characters were much more interesting.

I wouldn’t put Rachel as number one. We all loved to hate her and that made her appealing.

A few snubs, because there are many examples. Including: 1. The Miranda Sings character from Haters Back Off. Much like Fred Fighlehorn, Miranda was an awful character when she was on KZfaq, but giving her a Netflix show was an extremely awful idea, and that’s not even getting into her recent controversies. So awful. 2. Debby Ryan’s character from the truly awful Netflix show Insatiable. She was just terrible. 3. It pains me to say this because I was an avid fan of the character Jack Bauer on the classic show 24. After the original show went off the air in 2010 I, like many other 24 fans, watched the entire series quite a few times until the announcement of the reboot 24: Live Another Day and that show was incredible. But shortly after that went off the air, when it was announced that the show was being rebooted yet again with all new characters. I love Corey Hawkins. Straight Outta Compton and In the Heights were both amazing watches but I just didn’t care for his character on 24: Legacy. Chalk it up to the impossibility to replace Jack Bauer because he is a great character, but Hawkins bored the shit out of me. There’s nothing quite like Bauer yelling all the time and his “don’t give a f*ck attitude”, but those were some huge shoes to fill and unfortunately Hawkins couldn’t replicate what made the original such a beloved series. 3. I know it’s only live-action characters, but Mindy Kaling’s character on the MAX streaming series Velma. God, just atrocious.

I have never heard of Fred Finklehorn, Finklefunkle... whatever. And I had prefered it to stay that way. Just that short clip was enough to make me want to tap out of life.

Can you do this for animated shows

For me, Dr. Temperance Brennan from Bones. Lacking any real personality, condescending, and seemingly lacks a right hemisphere as the abstract confuses her.

My mind was going towards Velma, but since they weren't going to do animated/cartoons I still know Velma was going to be number one.

Would you believe that after all these years, it is only NOW that I am aware that GREY'S ANATOMY is named after a lead character? I haven't watched a single episode. The program just isn't my bag baby (despite the inclusion of Sandra Oh). I just figured the show was named after a scientific principle and left it at that. Oh well. LOL

MOST OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE ANNOYING!

I’m dreading seeing the animated version of this video

I immediately thought of Jack from LOST when I saw that the video is about worst main TV Main Characters!!!

Homelander - The Boys tell me you didn't start to totally hate his guts when he let that plane full of innocent people die with that same arrogant, smug look on his face he had all season?

Do Top 10 Tv Characters who went from being Hated to Loved.

I have to disagree with Emily being on the list. I think the worst character in the show is Camille, who strings along Gabriel even though she clearly isn’t in love with him.

You left out Zack Morris from saved by the bell.

Clare Bennett from Heroes should be on this. Pretty much most of the entire series, shes a drama queen.

Michael Burnham from Discovery. She's totally self centred, whiny and annoying. You shows total disrespect to her captain, especially Saru (who was also someone she was supposed to consider her friend). She is by far the least interesting and most annoying character in an amazing ensemble cast yet the series always seems to focus on her.

Wow. I used to think it was only me wgo used to feel these protagonists were tiresome, especially when some of these series were successful and ran for many seasons. Thank you for finally letting me know I wasn't alone 😂

How could Jack from Lost be possibly be on this list. He ha a certain likeness, was unique, and personable with the survivors

When I read the title, I thought Velma would be on the list somewhere; the 2023 version I mean.

Bones has got to be the worst

Question: If Jack on Lost was so unlikeable then why were millions of viewers, including me, so furious and truly upset when he was killed off in the final episode? Whoever wrote this absolute nonsense never watched the show because Jack was a true hero and a good person. He was the leader that helped so many survive.
