Top Ten Worst Big Bang Theory Characters

The Top Ten
1 Amy Farrah Fowler

Terrible character. Started as a much worse version of Sheldon and then evolved into something even worse. Now she's needy as hell, her jokes are always creepy and I dislike her relationships with penny and Bernadette. She doesn't like Bernadette for some reason and constantly backstabs her when talking with penny. And when she's with penny she constantly makes creepy sexual jokes or lesbian remarks while making that same stupid face and nodding when the other characters are looking at her thinking "what? "

And then there's her relationship with Sheldon. She's basically ruined Sheldon as a character.

I don't like the way Amy has evolved. She was MUCH better in the early seasons when Sheldon first met her because they were both socially awkward nerds. Now they are portrayed as blowhard experts in social skills? The writers must be idiots to think that we the audience are not able to notice that our favorite show's characters have been totally ruined. Amy is played by an actress that doesn't seem to be able to make a romantic relationship be believable. Sheldon is played by an actor who doesn't seem to know how to act around girls period. Their whole relationship topic is a complete sham, and the acting in this relationship is so bad, I can't watch.

2 Bernadette Wolowitz

Actually I think she fits the role quite well because honestly, Howard would have never gotten a better girl. But I hate her character because despite knowing a lot about biology, she just seems a lot less intelligent than the other nerds. She seems like the one that only studied science to make a lot of money and seriously, the opinions she shares with her crazy extremist father paired with her too high voice and the way she treats her husband just make her seem like a madwoman. (though I think Howard doesn't deserve someone better, always disses Sheldon because he can't stand that he is much smarter)

She is a one trick comedy pony. She's the ostensibly sweet girl with the cute, squeaky voice who turns into a meaner version of Howard's mother when she gets riled. And that's it. That's all she is. She is the shallowest, most one dimensional character in a show with nothing but shallow characters.
Amy is weird and creepy, but at least there's something there. Bernadette is an empty box of bad shtick. Plus, as soon as she became involved with Howard, she killed off the funniest character on the show.

3 Lucy

The actress is cute. I don't blame her at all, but this character is a mess. From the get-go she was inconsistently developed. She's socially anxious but is at a party where she knows no one -- then breaks up with Raj because... she can't go with him to a party where she knows no one? She approached Raj but then can't meet his friends. Huh? Raj is inconsistent also with his anxieties, so I blame the writers for it but this character, unfortunately, came across as manipulative and basically kinda mean while using her issues as the excuse.

I am so glad the Lucy character is no longer on the show. I couldn't stand to look at her anymore. So annoying and so ugly. Her character was totally crap, bother writers and actors are to blame

Everything about her is just terrible. She's like a 1/10 too, every time she's on screen I have to focus my view on something else.

4 Sheldon Cooper Sheldon Lee Cooper, Ph.D., Sc.D., is a fictional character in the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory, portrayed by actor Jim Parsons.

I'm surprise to see him so low down in the rankings. He's just the worst of all the characters. Maybe his antics were hilarious and even adorable at first but 8 seasons later and I just wish someone would shoot him already. He's 100% selfish and controls or seeks to control everyone around him. He tells his friends where to eat, when to eat, what to eat, degrades them constantly and deminishes their achievements. He thinks he's superior to everyone when he's achieved the least out of all his peers. Even Penny went on to have a successful career as a pharmaceutical salesrep. He's immature and childish and he needs help from a lot of people to do basic things like get to work or go to the dentist yet still he insults the very people who go out of their way to help him. He's ungrateful and takes advantage of everyone he can and he acts like he's compromising on things that should just be basic courtesies to another human being, much less his friends. He's narcissistic. Oh boy is he ever! He never thinks he's wrong and if it isn't his idea it can't be right. If he didn't think up of it first it must be flawed. I can go on about him but he's just a horrible person. If he and Leonard existed in real life as they do on the show, I imagine Leonard would have already killed Sheldon or hung himself.

5 Priya

Her voice is so annoying to hear, yes even worse than Bernadette. She has a nasally sound which paired with her accent just sound horrible. Raj with an Indian accent sounds fine, but priya sounds like she needs to clear her nose or something. She also has an unlikable personality.

I don't like Priya. She wanted Leonard to stop hanging with Penny because she felt threatened by her, but she no sooner gets back to India and she automatically has sex with her ex-boyfriend while still with Leonard. She's a joke.

She was trying to control Leonard but telling him he couldn't hang out with his friend Penny, she started dressing him and then there were the contacts! OH! Then it turns out that after she went back to India, she started cheating on Leonard.

6 Leonard Hofstadter

It's always nice to see a hot girl falls in love with a nerdy fella who is sweet and compassionate in a dorky way. Yet Leonard possesses none of the charming characteristics that would draw a girl like Penny to him. He's often rude, irrationally emotional, fixating on small flaws and frankly a douche in his own way. His relationship with Penny is so forced and unlikely that it's almost painful to watch. The character gets gradually worse seasons after seasons. Also, that's one bad looking bloke...the other guys (Sheldon, Raj, Howard, Steward) aren't good looking but they have certain charm about them. Leonard literally has no charisma whatsoever.

He wasn't bad at first, but then things happened, firstly he is the biggest douche on the show. Here's why: If you remember one episode he actually slept with a girl that Howard picked up, then some time after that he shows Bernadette his experiment, which is not bad, but then he tell Bernadette Howard isn't comfortable with him showing her the experiment, which again wouldn't of mattered if it wasn't for his past with that other girl he stole from Howard, in other words Howard actually had a reason to not want him to show her the experiment, even though he didn't use that reason. Next he goes out with Raj's sister Priya, without consulting him at all, then he goes on to ignore his presence in the apartment and go into Raj's bedroom with his sister, while I would like to add that Raj should have dropped him at that moment, then while Raj is at home he has intercourse with Priya and then Raj ends up having sex with penny and guess what he is automatically the bad guy.

7 Howard Wolowitz Howard Joel Wolowitz, M.Eng is a fictional character on the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory, portrayed by actor Simon Helberg.

Definitely my least favorite character. Hate how sleazy and sexist he was in the beginning, especially when he expected Bernadette to cook and do his laundry & they weren't even married. Just became unbearable to watch. Loved it when Penny told him off. Of course, he couldn't figure it out.

Thinks he's so smart, but the only "intellectual" in the group without a PhD in their specified field. He is creepy, the only positive about him is that he is somewhat witty. The minute a girl makes eye contact with him, he sees that as a signal that they want to have sex with him.

Just too weird in my opinion he mocks people just because of their accent (cough cough Raj)! The way he tries to flirt with Penny is... This is debatable but let me just say in my opinion: JUST. SO. AWKWARD!

8 Raj Koothrappali Rajesh Ramayan "Raj" Koothrappali, Ph.D. is a fictional character on the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory, portrayed by British Indian actor Kunal Nayyar.

The guy is the definition of the creepy loser guy who is always trying to get with his friends' girlfriends while pretending to be sweet and understanding. Both Howard and Leonard should have dropped his ass after he tried to get with Bernadette and sleeping with Penny (a girl with her own insecurity issues, she really wasn't creep out after Raj pretty much took advantage of her drunk ass? I mean she was creep out by Howard's advances, but he never ever did something as half as creepy as Raj). I don't know what people can like about this character, he is pathetic and not a real friend to any of the characters on the show, nobody would be friends with him in real life after what he has pulled.

Raj is bad because of his conceit and arrogance like when he was on the people magazine or after "sleeping" with Penny. Also he have no self respect, he said even Lucy slept with his father, he'll still send flower to her. And if his girlfriend don't like his friends, he'll leave them. It's also annoy when he break up with Emily right before Valentine's Day because he think he and Clare have a shot. I won't comment on the fact he's sleeping with both Emily and Clare and keep it as a secret in front of them, but complain, actual boast about the fact he's dating two women. He actually did a great gob on not showing the fact that his rich to others, because as Sheldon said the Koothrappali's are super rich between Bruce Wayne and Donald Duck.

9 Stuart Bloom

Absolute worst character. He's selfish, rude, mooches off Howard and Bernadette and doesn't even feel bad about It. I wish they never decided to hire him to take care of Howard's mum. He's become such an annoyingly big part of the series that he should be sitting on the couch with them in the opening. All of the scenes with him are seriously unfunny all his character is chalked down to is suicidal, depressed, rude and lonely. He replaced Howard as Raj's best friend then all of a sudden he acts rude and cruel to Raj in several episodes?! What the hell. I hated the episode where him and Sheldon bonded it was super weird, unnatural and forced. He's wormed his way into the show and kills the humour in scenes. I like the rest of the main cast unlike some people and even though I don't like some characters I like them a whole lot more than Stuart. I can't help but get annoyed every time he pops up in a scene.

10 Penny

Penny is terrible! Her relationship, (and then marriage), with Leonard is extremely toxic and she's forever putting him down, getting mad at him over the tiniest things and is very controlling. She literally acts likes she's doing Leonard a favour by being with him with most episodes going: Penny overreacts and gets mad at Leonard over something tiny, Leonard apologises and then they have sex.
There's even times where Penny is the one in the wrong but she still gets mad at Leonard, like when they found out she was married to Zack, somehow it ended up with Penny being angry at Leonard AGAIN!
Seriously, if her and Leonard's genders were reversed then their relationship would be seen as abusive.

Before getting in to a serious relationship with Leonard or after season 5 or 6, her acting is getting worse and worse, now look in season 10 she is a mess! Maybe the plot or her line is getting boring... now there's no much of doing or activites or games compared to previous seasons... now they just talk and talk sitting on the sofa through out the episode.. And suddenly penny stopped wearing shorts and small tops? And now shes having too much make up and hairstyling's and skinni jeans and big tops... ugh in this season, 10, there were 3 episodes they just sat and talked about rajs Financial problem and him finding a new place to stay.

The Contenders
11 Beverly Hofstadter

There is always room for mean or cruel comedy, but Beverly takes it to an extreme. Maybe it's because her condescending attitude is directly almost solely at her own son. She can be critical of Penny, Raj, and Howard, but nothing like she is with Leonard. I think the main characters of this show are just too likable and relatable, especially for those of us who have watched it from the beginning, to find anything funny about one of them being constantly humiliated by someone who should support them.

I hate Leonard's mom! She is such a horrible person! She treats Leonard like crap, even as a child! Never giving him any love or affection and making him have to earn it!
But also she was a horrible wife to Leonard's father Alfred! No wonder he cheated on her.

I hope that one day Sheldon's mom will make her do some motherly things to Leonard that a mother should do to her child. If I were Alfred, I'd have cheated on her when the kids were still little and give them another mother.

12 Emily Sweeney

Emily is trying way to hard to fit into the show, but she is now friends with everyone for doing nothing. Every character got in the gang very easily and were not as annoying as her. She also yells at Raj for doing nothing!

An interesting concept but overplayed. If they want to keep her around for some reason, Raj should break up with her which causes her to stalk him in increasingly ridiculous ways.

Just creepy and I hate her character! She and raj just don't go together and she freaks me out. Can Raj just leave her forever and ever...

13 Leslie Winkle

Hate the Leslie character. I avoid the episodes she's in. She's so pompous, annoying and has absolutely no appeal. She's so cruel to Sheldon, and She's the dumb-ass. So glad when she left.

Love Leslie. Think she fits right in and they should have never written her out of the show..

Hated the way she was mean to Sheldon. Glad she's gone.

14 Meemaw
15 Stephanie Barnett

This caracter is, maybe the worst one for me. I remember especially when she told Leonard that she had forgotten one of her earrings in one patient and had hidden the other before she ran away. She's so creepy!
In addition she behaves as if she were a fatal beauty, when she is very ugly.

16 Ramona Nowitzki

So annoying. Glad she was a one-off character, because if she frequented the show, I would probably stop watching.

17 Barry Kripke

I think that Barry's a riot! His rivalry with Sheldon is hysterical and he's the perfect nemesis.

Its his speech, hate it.

This is an actress, not a character.

20 Howard's Mom
21 Raj's Mom

Funny character. She and Raj's father are great. "Call the police in America! "

22 Mrs. Cooper
23 Missy Cooper
24 Claire

I like her. I wish we could see more of her because she's a little better than Emily. She and penny are so alike and they should be friends. They are blonde, wrote/writing a screenplay and Claire was a bartender. She was SO pretty. please let's bring her back. I don't blame zack for having a crush on her.

No sense in Raj wasting his time with her. It won't work.
