I cant think of a single time Leslie Knope manipulated anyone into doing anything. She also constantly puts her friends' needs before hers. but yeah that the trait of an "awful person"

Good post.

I despise Jim and Pam. They are self-righteous trashy losers. They think they're better than everyone because Jim is tall and Pam has great tits. That's literally all they have going for themselves.

Costanza routinely dated chicks way too hot for him and he had some pretty good jobs over the course of the show. He had friends. I don't think he qualifies for most pathetic.

Michael Gary Scott is a god damn legend.


My vote is for Phoebe Buffay. I don't know if she is the most pathetic in tv history, but she is the worst tv character of all time.

I hated the scene where he drove his car into a lake because the GPS said to turn.
I hated when they turned him into an incompetent sales person. The whole reason he got the management position was that he was fantastic with his customers. Terrible manager, great salesperson. Then they took that away from him and the peak was the stupid drive into the lake.

The show is just as funny AND every single main character is extremely likable.


Leslie Knope is nowhere near extremely likeable

Unpopular opinion, but I do not care for Office at all. Awkward humor makes my skin crawl

Parks started off as a decent but inferior imitation of the Office. It evolved into being it's own great show, but at no point is Parks as funny or clever as the first few Office seasons. The Office characters are richer and more nuanced. The funniest Parks character is probably Andy, and he's really just a buffoon.

Jerry Smith has to be high up there:



This is how his wife perceives him for God's sake.

Thank you. She really is a horrible character. Not sure why the others in the group were friends with her. Screech Powers is a close 2nd but Phoebe is still the worst. Friends is pretty awful in general to me as well.

My wife and I just started watching Shameless, and are 2 episodes into the second season. I like the show, but his character is so unbearable I almost can't watch because of how much I hate him

The writers clearly made Michael less pathetic/sad/bad person and more absurd/funny after he self sabotaged to not get the job in New York

The young late Lannister king was so pathetic his own mom had to assasinate him. He has the excuse of being young and impressionable, but a weaker and more useless king can hardly be imagined. If he hadn't been born a Lannister, he'd have already been bullied to death.
