* Marley And Lindsay on ''[[The New Adventures of Old Christine]]'' they're [[Rich Bitches]] who seemingly have no purpose other then to make jokes about how ignorant and "poor" Christine is, they're not the least bit funny, they're just incredibly irritating.
* Kirk DeVane on ''[[Newhart]]'' was a painfully unfunny [[Jerkass]] for the show's first 2 seasons. Midway through the second season, the writers desperately tried to [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap|save him]] by giving him a sweet, likeable girlfriiend. It only worked part way. She herself was quite likeable and appealing, but it was impossible to understand [[What Does She See in Him?|what the Hell she saw in Kirk.]] Fortunately, around the same time, a new, hilarious [[Jerkass]], Michael Harris, made his debut on the show. At the start of the third season, Kirk and his new wife were [[Put on a Bus]], Michael [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|took his place on the show]], and ''Newhart'' [[Growing the Beard|grew the beard.]]
* Gina Russo from ''[[Nip Tuck]]''.

* Nikki from ''[[Numb3rs]]''. She's got a 4 year degree from the streets of Compton, yo!
* A [[Vocal Minority]] of ''[[The OC]]'' fans loathed Marissa Cooper passionately, mostly because she tended to be a self-destructive drama magnet (and on a soap opera, that's ''saying something'') who became the center of attention of any scene she was in and tended to [[Jerkass|treat people like crap]]...but everyone around her continued to like her and put up with it. {{spoiler|The third season ends with her finally getting [[Killed Off for Real]].}}
