10 Most Annoying Television Characters Of All-Time

Janice Soprano, played amazingly well by Aida Turturro, is the worst part of The Sopranos, and again, this is a character that’s incredibly annoying on purpose. The sister of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), Janice was supposed to have the same qualities as the mob boss, just without the mob providing an outlet that rewards being sociopathic and ambitious. Those traits, in a normal person, are toxic and serve only to drive everyone away.

Janice, during her seasons on the show, was a constant thorn in Tony’s side and annoyed the audience with her terrible decision-making, horrible comments, and her relationship with Ralphie Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano, in another annoying character role). All of that was by design, to try and show how Tony Soprano wasn’t to be idolized, but what creator David Chase achieved was creating a character that made everyone want to skip all of her scenes.
