) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Just to get the ball rollin:
Droppo. The laziest and most annoying man on Mars.
Heathcliff from WWOBATWOMAN. I’m disgusted even looking at the screen when he’s muggin’ away.
The guy from Quest of the Delta Knights who shouts: I”M COMEENG! ’nuff said about that…
I’ve got to second Droppo. What a tube!
Yep, Droppo.
Tanya from Boggy Creek II. Ya know, the annoying girl who didn’t like anything.
I cannot for the LIFE of me remember the name,But the blonde girl in Pod People..although she was more mean than annoying..still didn’t like her.
Oh and also the rehead in
Swamp Diamonds who got ate by an alligator.
Collectively, the wives of Manos. “The man YES, the child NO!”
Troy form Final Sacrifice
The two video watching pervs from Attack of the the Eye Creatures.
Froggy (Eddie Deezen) in Laserblast
My vote would go to Coily, the annoying animated coil bastard from that short about coils/springs.
“No springs…eh..eh..eh” (fade away)….ugh makes me want to shoot myself.
Eddie Dezeen in Laserblast is a close second, and maybe Krancor’s laugh (after the 15th time you heard it)…ugh Droppo as well
that dammed ghost from Tormented. She needs to be killed again.
Or ANYONE from Soultakers….
Einstein from Warrior of the Lost World. Gah! Bad enough when it had to repeat every phrase 3 times, but then after it was “destroyed” it lapsed into a sort of Valley-speak: “Like, wow.” “Tubular!” Wish it could have been destroyed again.
Also have to mention the nasty imp from The Undead – he should have been squished.
The constantly whining Puma Man.
The guy from Outlaw and Droppo work for me.
I agree with all of the above but let’s not forget the ENTIRE CAST of “Hobgoblins”. The ineffectual Zack, his “friends”– the porn-loving new-wave guy, the slutty Madonna-wannabe, her meathead boyfriend and Zack’s girlfriend who seems to hate everything about him– the Max Melodramatic-type emcee at “Club Scum” (can we count “club scum” as a character? Because it’s a stupid name for a club, even in a movie) who’s clearly gay yet inexplicably falls for former B52 “Pixie”. Then there are the “hobgoblins” themselves- stuffed toys and puppets who are literally shaken at the actors in a half-hearted attempt to bring them to “life”.
And, uh….. Chip Hitler.
There are a huge number of candidates for this one, but I’m going to go with the awful kids from “Invasion of the Neptune Men”.
All of the above are most unworthy candidates, but Doctor Watley Smith (Doctor? Doctor of What? Immediately revoke the creditation of the institution who gave him Doctor of Anything!) from Outlaw. Every single appearance on screen is revolting, from his leacherous yet impotent handling of women, to his pitiful lust for power, and his annoying voice. Can you imagine actually taking a class from this moron?
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”
freakishly large face soultaker….just keep getting the urge to wack him with a tennis racket
I’m gonna second, third, and fourth Cabot. He didn’t do a darn thing except run around the wilderness and get captured. I guess he saved the slave girl, but who wouldn’t!
Oh, and Wanda Sacknewnsomething from Alien from LA.
The faux-Bogart coroner from Zombie Nightmare.
1) The fraternity guy in “Ring of Terror” who did all those stupid voices and thought he was so funny
2) The jerk professor in “Boggy Creek II”
3+) Anyone and EVERYONE in “Hobgoblins”!!!!!
I was going to say Christy Matling from The Dead Talk Back, but then I realized he was really the only halfway interesting character in that movie.
Riding With Death’s Buffalo Bill gets my vote, particularly his role in the racecar episode.
Several to chose from in Being from Another Planet, from that prissy suck up who gets his hand burned at the end to basically everybody who attended the Mummy Party.
There’s also Crapout from Sidehackers and Butt Healer from Track of the Moon Beast, but at least their parts were mercifully brief.
5. Robert Donner as “Fingers” from “Catalina Caper.”
Painful comedy relief is usually the worst.
4. Kathy Ireland from “Alien from L.A.”
Yuck!
3. Droppo from “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”
Can’t argue with the obvious.
2. The Olive-Oyl-like teacher from “Angel’s Revenge”
“And I’ve got in a very special place!”
1. Daphne from “Hobgoblins”.
For the most part, I agree that everyone in the movie is loathesome to the extreme, but Daphne gets an extra vote of contempt for her idiotic faux-sex-craziness. “My boyfriend wouldn’t get me anything without a single X rating,” she says, before bounding off to the van for maybe one minute of “sex”. And this is the character the heroine is supposed to ASPIRE to. Plus, she has all the comic timing of a drugged ostrich, and her outfits are an unbelievably hideous parody of eighties fashion.
Amy’s pretty awful, too, though. The scene where she dresses down her boyfriend for LOSING A RAKE FIGHT makes me think Rick Sloane had a stunted misogynistic streak. However, I think she just wanted to find an excuse to dump such a whiny weasel of a boyfriend. Ecch. It really just makes you want to take a shower.
Just one person for me: MR. B. NATURAL. :shock:
And also Dropo and Coiliy.
Just one person for me: MR. B. NATURAL. :shock:
1.Droppo!!!
2.Thor in Teenagers from Outer Space.
You get so thor every time he speaks.
He covers the gamut of emotions from A to B.
3.Icky elf guy. (Except for his transporting into the movie at the restaurant-that was cool). :mrgreen:
Missed No. 22 above. Agree with Olive-Oyl, especially the search in handbag bit!!!
But then are any of the angels unanoying, not to mention the cameos?
About half the protagonists of “Angel’s Revenge” qualify.
– The droning alleged cop who can’t speak without constantly shifting the tilt of her head.
– The very “trustworthy” model who seems to pronounce her lines phonetically.
– Trish. Ohhh, Trish. Ten seconds after she appears in the movie with Spunky Hollywood Kid attitude you just want to toss her into a stump-grinder.
The overly sexed Rick from Hobgoblins.
The little boy in Robot Monster, I think his name was Billy. I wish Ro-Man would have crushed his windpipe.
Bob ‘Moon’ Mooney from The Beatniks.
Runner up:
David Stratton from Kitten with a Whip.
Kenny from Gamera. Also, the kid from Godzilla vs Megalon…his dubbed voice makes me want to jab ice picks into my ears.
Let me just say…”Hikeeba!”
But the end all be all of annoying has to go to Richard Kind in “Quest Of The Delta Knights”.
That guy in the first part of Merlins Mystical Shop of Wonders…the dude who gets turned into a baby at the end. He was pretty bad.
Oh and the Billy Bob guy in Riding with Death was horrible.
The C3PO knockoff from Robot Holocaust was painfully annoying too.
I know a lot of people hate everything to do with Hobgoblins, but I have such fondness for that episode (a very, very strange and twisted fondness). The combined annoyingness of the cast is so annoying that they actually flip over the scale and become non-annoying. It’s some kind of scientific phenomenon.
That said… the dang talking computer-bike from Warrior of the Lost World. Megaweapon was much welcomed.
Aah. Sorry for the italics. Failure, failure, I am a failure.
agree with 31, but they did not go far enough, Kenny = Annoying, all Kenny’s from all Kaiju movies, except General Sean, the first and greatest of all the Kenny’s (chronologically by movie release)
No one was annoyed by the bearded “Count Dracula was a ***!” militia guy in “Werewolf”. If I were man or wolf I would still shoot him. “I’m one of the good guys!”
Hands down it’s Whatney from “Outlaw”. Cabot! Cabot! Cabot! Cabot! Cabot! Cabot!
Honorable mentions:
Heathcliff from “The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman”. Heathcliff is less annoying than Whatney only because he doesn’t speak until the end of the movie.
Tony Farms from “Puma Man”, certainly the *whiniest* superhero of all time.
Deathstalker from “Deathstalker and the Warriors From Hell”. I can’t be the only one who wants to punch his face in.
Jim the frosted-haired, snot-nosed, spaghetti-throwing psychopath from “Zombie Nightmare”. I’ve always been curious as to why Tony didn’t kill him first, since Jim was the one who was driving the car and all.
Billy from “Angel’s Revenge”. “P-R-I, there you got your ‘pry’. V-A-T-E, there you got your ‘vit’.”
Leslie from “Boggy Creek II”
Lea Jansen from “Space Mutiny”
Amy from “Hobgoblins”
Congressman Witkowski from “The Starfighters”
Gotta go with Mr. “Hikeeba!” The way he openly pawed at any woman in reach and told jokes that Henny Youngman wouldn’t have blown his nose with makes him unworthy of any uniform let alone an astronaut.
And the woman with the constantly changing accent in Horrors of Spider Island. It shifts even while she’s talking. “Glayadis! Gleayadiis!” Hurts my teeth.
#39
I forgot about the spelling bee champ from Angels’ Regenge. Hate him, hate him, hate him
I don’t know if this counts. Because, I’m not sure if it was the character or the actor’s interpretation of the role. But, I submit Dr. Roger Bentley from “The Mole People”. Played by John “I know everything” Agar. Like I said, I’m not sure if it was the character or the actor. Because, I think all of John’s characters are consistantly annoying know-it-alls.
How could I forget the smug know-it-all Mr. Krasker from “The Dead Talk Back”! Blleeeccch!
I’m not sure. Watley and Einstein both work for me. But are we using the word “annoying” interchangeably with “repulsive”?
How about the two guys “monitoring” the make out place in “Attack of The The Eye Creatures”. Those guys just leave an ugly stain on an already horrible movie. But, the film makers just didn’t care.
My nominations:
Bobby from “Manhunt in Space” and “Crash of the Moons”. Joel and the ‘bots quickly pick up on just what a little twirp he is.
From “Manhunt”:
Crow: Bobby gettin’ to you? You thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’?
Servo: Yep, I’ve got a headache this big and it’s got “Bobby” written all over it!
Also, Tom from “Eegah”. This guy tries to pass himself off as the greatest teen idol since Elvis, but Joel and the ‘bots set him straight when he gets the s**t slapped out of him by Eegah himself. Everyone cheers joyously when Tom hits the ground like a bag of wet cement!
Does The Paper Chase Guy’s motorcycle count? A talking computer that uses slang? Hilarious! :roll:
There are many good choices of annoying movie character. I’ll choose this one:
Santa Claus in Santa Claus. He’s a doofus who uses child labor and relies on a half-blind, nearly dead wizard to save his butt.
# 39 Nicoletta:
“Lea Jansen from “Space Mutiny”
=======================
You’re picking on a cougar grandmother!
The Paperchase guy. Hands down.
Other honorable mentions:
Any kid named “Ken” in a Japanese movie.
Paul from Werewolf.
Coily.
Rat Fink from Wild World of Batwoman
and finally: Joe Don Baker.
Actually, I’m going to retract my suggestion. He wasn’t really annoying, he was just an ineffective weenie. In his place, I’m going to suggest Roxy from “Eegah”. An all around brat (not the grilled meat) who, everyting she says, makes me want to slam my finger in a door. Argh!
