Despite a number of good choices like corrupt politicians, heinous criminals, and mischevious policemen, I'm having a hard time not giving it to Scott Templeton.

Seriously, frick that guy. He's got a severe case of Punchhisface Syndrome. I can excuse some of the behavior from the other characters due to society, need, or compulsion, but this guy is just a dishonest, self righteous frick.

Sorry if this has been covered. I just finished the series last night and needed to vent about this guy.

This is probably the correct answer, but I'm gonna say Naymond Brice just because I hate that motherfricker.

I'm only mid-way through season 2 so I'm gonna hafta leave this thread after this comment so I don't see anything, but so far the only character I truly have wanted to punch in the face the whole show is Ziggy

And Kima's girlfriend/wife/life partner. She sucks too.

Templeton is second to Ziggy for me. All Ziggy had to do was stfu and collect the money. Couldn't even do that right.

Cheese.

Seriously, screw that guy. He even made me feel sympathy for Ziggy, which is hard to do. This one's for Prop Joe.

It's easily Prezbo's father in law. Dude was so terrible.

ETA: Major Valchak. Just came up with the name.

I was gonna say "Sheeeeiiiiiiieeeeiiiit" because I hate corrupt politicians. But Levy probably was the worst. He was definitely just as bad as the murderers and drug dealers, and he was completely safely gaming the system and feeding off of it.

Ziggy was maybe the least likable, but I don't know if most "reprehensible" really fits him. He was just a total frick up. I feel kind of bad for him that he just sucked that much.

Templeton was worst amoung the suits/civilians, but Cheese was worst among the gangsters.


*** SPOILERS ***



Cheese is, by far, my favorite murder on The Wire - and it is made extra special being at the hands of my favorite gangster - Slim Charles.

Marlo because he didn't play "The Game" the right way.

Wee Bey explained to Naymond how things were supposed to be done if someone got out of line. Marlo just killed people just because. He didn't have to kill Bodie.
