For my pick, three words: “Cabot! Cabot? Cabot!”

) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
It’s a tie for me: Droppo from Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, and Heathcliff from Wild Wild World of Batwoman.
Cabbage Patch Elvis – I had completely forgotten about the “old lady in the Supermarket” in Time Chasers. She packed a lifetime worth of suck in her 30 second screen appearance!! Good call!
The children in “Invasion of the Neptune Men” and “Prince of Space”. We’re Ken!
They’re just some of the first steps in a long, long line of annoying children in Japanese programs that continues to this day.
Graboidz – Thanks, I’ve kinda been obsessing this topic. I can’t sleep, I’m sweaty, and I think I’m tasting metal!
I was thinking it would be interesting to rank the most annoying characters posted in this list, then divide their ranking by their minutes on screen. I think the old lady from Time Chasers might have a pretty good shot there.
Oh! I forgot to list Marty the mechanic from Time Chasers in my earlier post. What the hell is with him driving a tractor with a foam cup of coffee anyhow? Was it to give him motivation as an actor?
Hard to argue with any of those already mentioned, but I believe we would be remiss in not mentioning the one, the only, the icon: Mr. Ray Dennis Steckler, aka Cash Flagg, aka Johnny!
Definitely Mike the husband from MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE. The man consigns himself, his wife, and his daughter to eternal servitude to the forces of darkness because it doesn’t occur to him staying in the dilipidated house that just appeared in the middle of nowhere that’s occuped by a creepy hunchback who keeps rambling about ‘The Master’ just to avoid driving at night might not be such a hot idea, even after both his wife and the hunchback try to talk him out of it.
Ordinarily, I’d be stunned someone was driving around with his young daughter in the car and a loaded gun in the glove compartment. With this guy, though, it’s hard not to believe it…
There are so many,such as Rowsdower. I love Jim Bacchus, however, his Nazi character in Angel’s Revenge was sad and annoying at the same time. Poor Man, he must have been really desperate. Damn Sherwood Schwartz, Damn him to hell! Aghhhhhhh… I’m alright.
Can’t add any that haven’t already been mentioned. Trying to keep it to sepcifically annoying characters. Ones like Mitchell and Deathstalker (god I’d like to slug that guy) are loathesome and unlikable but not particularly annoying.
the winners:
1) The C3PO knockoff from Robot Holocaust
2) Max Keller
3) Cabot Cabot Cabot!!
all make me wish for a convenient cyanide pill.
But the ultimate annoying character has to be the talking motorcycle from Warrior From The Lost World.
Nobody has mentioned the whiny clone guy from Parts: The Clonus Horror (unless I over-looked one)??? Arch and the Hobgoblins cast are just loathsome too…absolutely loathsome…
What about The Devil in Santa Claus???? Very annoying.
How about Professor Macken (sp?) from Prince of Space….i just watched that again and had forgotten how much i hate him, and for that matter, the kid with the badly dubbed Brooklyn goombah voice.
The southern belle (I’m thinking her name was Mary-Lu?) in Horror of Spider Island who couldn’t stick with a single accent even in the same line.
Lea Jansen (Cissy Cameron) of Space Mutiny repels me like a force field turned to 11.
I can’t believe no one has mentioned Roxanne (or however it’s spelled) from Godzilla vs. Megalon. THAT was an annoying kid!
And let’s not forget ROWSDOWER!
Rowsdower. ZAP Rowsdower. :cool:
TIMOTHY VAN PATTEN in MASTER NINJA 1 and MASTER NINJA 2 – as if we ever needed more than one!
losingmydignity, 145, I’m starting to think that you don’t like me! :cry: lol jk
What a great topic, and just when I thought I’d narrowed down my choice, someone else comes up with a great pick to make me rethink the whole thing. So I’ll just wing it:
– the “Jolly Ol’ Oxford” dufus from Ring of Terror. Said it once, said it again: He’s the Robin Williams of his time.
– Sid Melton in both Lost Continent and Radar Secret Service. Apparently playing Johnny-One-Joke was his strong-suit.
– A two-for from Zombie Nightmare: the frosted-haired punk and the forensics detective who sounds like Eugene Levy after taking too much methodone. “I’d state my semi-professional reputation” on the fact that these two guys really piss me off!
– Arch Hall Jr. from Eegah! Ugly, non-acting, non-singing make for the perfect trifecta of bad.
