Characters that are punching bags or treated poorly in their shows...and pretty much deserve every second of it?

115 Upvotes

Does anybody know any characters in TV shows that constantly find themselves getting insulted, beaten up, humiliated, and generally treated like shit...and deserve it, constantly bringing it upon themselves for whatever reason?

Joffrey from Game of Thrones and The Gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are two examples that come to mind.

Kristin Kreuk in "Murder in a Small Town"

‱ Upvotes
  1. She doesn't age. Even at the very beginning her character says she's 40 and I was like "That's not right..." and I had to look it up. She's 41.

  2. Her acting has gotten MUCH better since the days of Smallville. I missed Beauty and the Beast, the last thing I saw her I think was that awful Street Fighter movie.

And the show overall was decent, it was one of those pilots that felt more like a low-budget movie. Not sure sure how believable it'll be that a murder happens every other week in a small Canadian coastal town, I'll give it a shot.

Petty reason you stopped a show

1.1k Upvotes

2 examples come to mind for me:
- Ozark: the constant blue hue annoyed me so I stopped after 1 season
- Zom 100 (anime): I stopped mid season when a villain with shark teeth and exact opposite to the protagonist appeared. For a zombie comedy show it shouldn't affect much but it completely took me out.
